    TOP 3 HOT POT When the broth is this good, customers drive from miles away. IYKYK This is many locals favorite Sichuan style hotpot for a reason, even at the dinner price always of unlimited, AYCE = all you can eat of $29. My main complaint is that the crispy pork is not included in the $32. Under new management, Alina, the new owner --- proudly hails from herself and stops by almost every table to say hello. All of the broths here are made from scratch, and the house flavor is spicy beef. However, I visit for the fragrant and numbing golden broth. And, unlike other hotpot restaurants, the sauce bar here has even more complimentary numbing peppercorn oil available 花椒油. Best items here are: Broth... these are the best broth in Georgia. Handmade wontons, you can taste the difference. Fresh shrimp meatball paste, that is served in the faux bamboo with special spatula. Brown sugar rice cakes. Crispy on the outside, warm and chewy interior, covered in brown sugar syrup. Handmade noodles, which are chewy and dusted in flour. How to order: Scan QR code and order unlimited meats and sides, all clearly marked, then they are brought fresh to your table. No buffet here, other than sauce bar.

    Spicy Kimchi broth & handmade noodles

    I'm on a journey to find some great hot pot in the area, so my fiancé and I came here for lunch. I would have preferred to order with the waitress instead of using the QR code, but I did like the fact that you get to choose your vegetables and any other sides that you'd like. I ordered the sliced lamb with spicy kimchi broth and my fiancé got the brisket with miso broth. They give you more than enough protein and vegetables, but I would have enjoyed more sauce options as well. We also only received one order of the handmade noodles and when we asked for more, it seemed like there was confusion between the waitresses. Controlling the hot plate was pretty simple, with a low, medium, and high option for the heat, however, if any of the liquid got on the table and touched the power button, it would turn off. Once we were finished, the waitress was generous enough to have us try a complimentary dessert pastry. Overall, I enjoyed this hot pot experience and I'm glad that we gave this restaurant a try.

    Very authentic Sichuan hot pot, with fresh ingredients and no pre-prepared dishes, highly recommended.

    Handcrafted by a true Chongqing native, each hot pot base uses pure beef tallow simmered with over thirty spices for three hours--rich in CLA, oleic acid, and vitamins A, D, E, K--authentic, healthy, and flame-resistant.

    The best and most authentic Sichuan hotpot in Atlanta! ! ! !  Super delicious. The ingredients feel delicious.

    Delicious hot pot. It's perfect when the weather cools down. The food is fresh. The hot pot base tastes just like the one you'd find in Sichuan, China. I love it.

    Wow!!!! 10/10 hot pot experience! The owner Alina was so hospitable and attentive, she made me feel right at home! The broth was so rich and flavorful, the meat and veggies were so fresh and tasty, it was amazing! I will most certainly be back but next time I'm bringing friends!

    So good

    Before coming, you should definitely expect VERY typical Chinese service, meaning if you want something, you have to go and ask or just get it yourself. It's not offensive to them and it's also what they expect of you, rather than the American tableside service of waiters coming up to check on you every few minutes. With that being said, it's not unusual to look up and have trouble finding the employees (there was really only 1 main person who was both hosting, taking orders, and serving while I was there). It would also help to have a Chinese speaker to better explain what you want/need. The broths weren't as flavorful as I was hoping, but I have yet to find a truly flavorful location in Georgia (I come from the SGV in Cali, so IYKYK). However, they have a VERY vast selection of sauces, so it made the food taste good regardless of the broth flavor. Another hack for any situation where you have bland broth is to go to the sauces and make some broth base to throw into your broth--it'll amp up the flavor too. People do that all the time at Din Tai Fung in China. The mala broth with level 2 out of 5 spice level was barely spicy (couldn't taste it), so ramp it up for 3 or more, especially if you are used to actual mala broth (those of you who are accustomed to Chongqing level spice...go up to 5, you won't break a sweat). I do eat fairly spicy though, so if you're spiced out by kimchi then you should stick with 1 or 2. 3 or 4 is probably the usual Szechuan spice level in GA and 5 is probably a little more than that. The meats aren't the best quality--they're not particularly soft and flavor is rather bland (I couldn't tell what was beef, pork, or lamb!), but it's not awful. The fresh fish paste and shrimp paste are quite good, and the veggies are nice and clean. They don't give a whole lot at a time though, so if you're big eaters, plan to hunt down the employees and order often. Overall, this place is the best I've had in Georgia so far, but not by much, and a far, far cry from Cali. If anyone knows of any other AYCE chinese hot pot places in GA, let me know! I'm still on the hunt!

    FOR THE AREA...its nice! Actually very great in my opinion because the authentic chinese hot pot options are not toooo vast in this area. For the experience and everything, i wouldnt say it's anything "special" .. just standard and authentic. There was a sauce bar and everything, but i noticed their chili oil had tons of whole chillies in it, which is pretty cool. We had a table for 4, and they sat us in the center. Water was leaking from the roof... they just told us to scoot over. We felt kinda weird by that since they were not busy at all and didn't suggest us to be moved. So needless to say, typical chinese service. But what can you expect anyways. My problem was more with the broth too. Mushroom & Spicy broth was chosen, Spicy broth was pretty good, but the mushroom was lacking any drop of flavor.. i dont know if it is me or what but i just have had a lot better.

    At the end of the meal, so yummy!

    Great place for lunch. My wife and I stopped by for a quick lunch. We ordered the Tang Su Yuk sweet…read moreand sour crispy pork and the Bokkeum Jja Jang black beans noodle platter. The portion here is hugeeeee. We couldn't finish it and had enough left over for dinner. The crispy pork was very crispy. We liked that the sauce was served separately.

The shrimp were delicious and prepared just like I'm used to. This dish is lightly battered fried shrimp with a soy sauce bases sauce with red pepper and black pepper spices. It also features other sautéed veggies like green peppers and onions. The shrimp were spiced nicely, but also had the flavor of black pepper coming through. A lot of places don't get that right. The perfect mix of that spice red pepper heat and hint of black pepper are exactly why I love about this dish. The shrimp were fried perfectly and the veggies deliciously sauted. The Haemul Jjampong was a flavor and spice bomb. The broth was so flavorful and had a great essence of the seafood in it (squid, mussels, abalone). This soup is also for people not afraid of the spice...it was SPICY, but no so much that it was unenjoyable. The spice complemented the flavor and I loved it. The take-home of the leftovers was just as good the next day! If I had to say anything that they might think of changing, would be the addition of kimchi to the banchan. The banchan was ddanmuji (pickled radish, raw white onions, marinated white onion slivers, and soy marinated peanuts). A little plate mat kimchi to wrap around the Jjampong noodles would be perfection.

The door was unlocked, so we walked in. A staff member told us they didn't open until 11:00 and asked us to wait outside. He also told us that we should only come in when the sign outside was lit. I completely understand that the restaurant has business hours, but it was only three minutes before opening. Also, it's summer and the sunlight is very bright, making it extremely difficult to tell whether the sign is lit or not. The three-minute wait wasn't the issue. What bothered me was the way the staff member spoke to us. It felt more like he was lecturing us than politely communicating with customers. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for us not to come back, and I would not recommend this restaurant to my friends.

The sweet fried pork was probably our least favorite dish. It wasn't bad! but it was just very basic. I like when restaurants use the mochi type of batter to make it more crispy yet chewy. They do have a big menu so I hope to stop by and try their other dishes.

We found a restaurant not far from the matcha shop. It felt more like a Chinese takeout spot than a traditional sit-down restaurant, so there wasn't much to speak of in terms of decor. We decided to share everything we ordered. The first dish we tried was the Szechuan noodles. The flavor was excellent, but unfortunately, the dish arrived only lukewarm, as it appeared to have been sitting for a while before being brought to the table. Next, we ordered soup dumplings, but the restaurant accidentally brought out pan-seared dumplings instead. Thankfully, they let us keep them while they prepared our original order. The pan-seared dumplings were actually very good--piping hot and full of flavor. When the soup dumplings finally arrived, they were decent but didn't quite live up to the pan-seared version and lacked the same level of flavor. Finally, our Szechuan chicken arrived. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. The chicken was crispy with a great spice profile that delivered the classic Szechuan kick without being overwhelming. It was served with fried rice, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was good but not exceptional. The food had some strong points, especially the Szechuan chicken and pan-seared dumplings, but the restaurant ultimately felt more like a solid Chinese takeout spot than a destination dining experience.
