I love this place so much! I come here for their crab pot which comes with two crabs. They’re smaller and not super meaty but still very sweet since their fresh crabs. Favourite add ons see lotus root, wood ear mushrooms, pressed tofu, cauliflower, and potato. We usually go for mild or medium spicy. This way it doesn’t overpower the sweetness of the crab. It does take a while to make and you can preorder through their WeChat account or call it in. Service is always super attentive too. The girls even notice I didn’t have a hair tie with me and offered me one to tie back my hair while eating

Delicious! Great service and food is spot of for dry hot pot. Mild spicy was perfect for me. Enough for 2 people, possibly even 3 with rice!

Very disappointed with the waiting when dining in. Only 10 percent of the tables have food on them because most of the orders went to takeouts. If you value your time don’t come during dinner time and have your mood ruined. Too ambitious to take so many orders for so few servers due to poor management.

Foods are amazing and the service is even better! They don’t accept US credit/debit cards so come prepared with cash

One of the best spicy dry pot restaurants in Vancouver. You need to be there early to get a spot. I took the chicken wing dry pot and it was so good. A bit expensive but worth a try.

We used to come here often. But they do not respect customers time at all. We left our name when the waitress told us there was only one table ahead of us. However, they decided to put another group of guests who arrived later than us because they have 4 people. The restaurant has more than enough of 4 seats table. When we confronted them they lied about the other group came first while we were right beside when they put down their name after us.

It was little hard to order without wechat, but i got all the help needed: They were kind and food was delicious. i had Mild spicy pork rib with many additional choices to add: Food: 5/5

What a great dry pot experience with an extremely friendly staff and great flavours. The mala xiang guo is very authentic and comparable in quality to those I have had in China. Special shout out to Silvia who took the time to walk us through all the options and give her recommendations. She even lent us a Tide to go stick when I stained my sweater. That is above and beyond service!

The WORST experience so far in my life for dinning in a restaurant. Haven’t had their food in a while, and we used to come often. Came in to line up at a dinner hour. They told us we are the next table, have been waited for 20 mins already. When there are a table available, instead of us they gave it to the next party. Here is their reason - they have 4 people?? While there are many group of 2 people sitting in a 4 people table?? In the end, they lied to us that the party of 4 came before us? This is just RIDICULOUS. A business that are NOT respecting their customers and their time.

The service is slow and pretty bad. But the food is 5 stars. The dry pot and pancake rolls is so delicious. Finally a place that gets szechuan spicy right. My mouth was like burning
