Xiaolongkan Hot Pot

After watching the TV series Brothers of Sun the scene was very atmospheric. I never dared to eat in because the price was very expensive. Today I went in for hot pot at noon. It was not only clean, comfortable, tidy and beautiful, but also had a special lunch price. I was pleasantly surprised. I even felt like it when I paid. Excellent value for money.

This hotpot place has some good quality meats and broth. The pricing is decent too for what you get. We got the bone broth and spicy. Both were very good and the selection was diverse. The veggies were excellent, especially the corn, napa cabbage and the lotus root. The meats were also great. The ribeye, short rib, shrimp paste with roe and pepper corn beef were great. The lamb and beef belly were also good. The sauce station is very simple and constantly restocked. The staff is very attentive and constantly looking to grab empty trays and deliver orders in a very quick timely manner. The decor is very neat and cultural relevant to the Chinese food.

This hot pot spot was recommended by my Chinese friend, and it didn’t disappoint Unlike all-you-can-eat places, you select your ingredients, and they’re brought to your table. We opted for mushroom, mala, and bone soup bases. Be warned—the mala base is extremely spicy, so choose your spice level carefully The ingredients were fresh, and the service was excellent. However, the portions for each ingredient were quite large, so if you’re with fewer than three people, it might be hard to try a variety. It was wonderful to enjoy authentic hot pot again after a long time. Highly recommend!

Good place to have a Chinese Hotpot with a decent price. The side bar offer your choices of ingredients to make your sauce along with side dishe and desert. Pleasant inside decoration that reflect Chinese culture is a plus.

This was my first time trying Xiaolongkan Hot Pot and it won’t be my last! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the ingredients were all fresh. But what really stood out was the excellent service. Our server cookie was incredibly helpful, checking in often to see if we needed anything, and always making sure we were comfortable. They made the experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

If you have never done hotpot before, make sure you come with someone who knows. They are not good at explaining or helping out. I would recommend to come with 4 people at least, this way you can order to share more things (meat, fish, vegetables, whatever you like). I had the gold broth (chicken soup broth) and their original broth (spicy level 1). It felt very spicy to me but I usually like mild. So it makes sense.
