First time there and I love it because you can pick what I want, quantity of fresh vegetables, seafood, meat, fish cakes, meat balls etc. They will cook them and serve with the choice of soup I like 👍🏻

I like all the options and the signature bone soup base! They give a lot of soup which is great. I also like the options in the sauce bar. There was a wait on a friday night, but it didn't take long.

This Place is an exciting experience for fans of authentic Sichuan flavors. We chose the half-and-half hot pot base with spicy mala broth and a milder herbal soup. The spicy broth packs a punch with a complex blend of spices, while the herbal soup is a comforting balance. The ingredients, like the thinly sliced beef, shrimp, and vegetables, were fresh and flavorful.

What we ordered:

- Spicy mala broth - 5/5
- Herbal soup - 4/5
- Thinly sliced beef - 5/5
- Shrimp - 4/5
- Vegetables - 4/5
- Tofu - 4/5

Service was attentive, though it can get hectic during busy hours. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant can feel crowded and noisy, but it adds to the lively atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality and variety. If you love hot pot and can handle some spice, YinTang Spicy Hot Pot is worth a visit!

The tomato broth is flavorful and delicious, I almost drank the entire bowl. Not feeling of dry mouth afterwards. Large selection of items. Wonderful value for the quality and price. Place is clean and tidy. Looking forward to my next trip!

I've been here many times without any surprises. Big bone soup is best when added spicy

This hot pot place is fantastic! The high ceilings and excellent ventilation make for a comfortable dining experience. The concept is self-build hot pot: you choose your meats and veggies, bring them to the front to pay, and they cook it for you and serve it at your table.

The quality of the beef and tofu skins is amazing--definitely better than other hot pot places I've tried. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from and mix, which adds a lot of customization to the meal. The bone broth is incredibly flavorful and adds a great depth to the dish.

Pricing is by the pound, so you can control how much you spend based on what you choose. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious and unique hot pot experience!

Very so so. The soup tastes very artificial and left me a bad after taste.
Will not return next time.

I don't order the food from this restaurant that frequently, but I do order it once or twice to change my taste. But in the few dining experiences I've had, I've discovered two extremely unpleasant things. The last time I ordered a spicy hotpot on a rainy day, I was given a plate of boiled food with no seasoning at all. But I had already gone home and couldn't go back in the rain to return it. The customer service said there was no refund and they could only give me a limited-time coupon. They even threatened me and told me to delete my comments. I just thought to myself, forget it. But today my friend invited me to order together. I made a lot of determination to try it again. I thought that this time I would not be able to cook the food in plain water. As a result, I ended up eating broken hairs in the food. As shown in the picture below, this is not one or two hairs, but short hairs in the meals of the three of us, a bit like freshly shaved beard or hair. This made me feel very sick and uncomfortable. I will never eat here in the future. I think everyone needs to carefully observe whether there are foreign objects in the food when eating to protect their own safety and health.
