Zone 5 ChuanChuan Hotpot

New place. First time trying. Seems popular with young crowd. Tastes decent. Prices unforgiving just like most places in Richmond now. As you can see from the other reviews there are some controversies about the place.

Food is really good. Spice at its best. But horrible customer service if you go at 9 they will say no food left, where they reserved all the food in the fridge!

This place was better than what I expected and read about. The service was ok. The sauce bar for the dipping sauce was pretty good. Good variety and it seemed the garlic was freshly minced... different size of garlic pieces and even got the fresh garlic burn when I ate it. It could all be in my head but good garlic. We order the sauerkraut soup base and the red spicy soup base. We ordered spice at max level but I don't think it was that spicy. I like the way some of the meat options were wrapped around something, like beef wrapped enoki mushroom etc. We had the plum juice as well. All in all we had a pretty good meal and the price worked out better than we read about.

Okay quality. Had all you can eat option. It has to be waiters go pick your skewers. They are kind of mad at us because we order only a few skewers for each type of food. Well this is an all u can eat place, or you can let customers go pick up the food by themselves.

authentic Szechuan style ChuanChuan hotpot! Original taste from Chengdu. A really nice place to eat spicy Chuanchuan hotpot

I arrived at 2:00pm today and the food was great and the service was excellent. I will definitely try again.

Taste not bad, all you can eat worth the price, service is bad

This place is not the authentic one, and their food is not fresh, my friend got stomachache after eating here

Spicy but delicious, a little expensive, but if you buy package coupons, the price is right.

taste goodbut poor service.
