PiChaiYuan Hot Pot

Exploring new places for hot pot and picked this one to try. The selections of vegetables and seafoods were abundant. It’s included with the meat choice of combo. From the basic to the waygu beef premium. Order your cuts of meat through the servers and the rest is at the cooler for your picking. Mix your own dipping sauce at one of the stations. They have small selection of dessert items, very basic, fried milk bun served with condensed milk. It was a bit dry since it was sitting out for quite sometime, the red bean filling sesame balls were a bit stale. Service was great! We went there around 5:30pm on a weekend night and there was no waiting.

Vegetarian options: One side of the cooler has a large selection of vegetables and tofu for vegetarians.

For the price they are best

II can't believe it, I was almost cheated out of the tip. The waiter took control of the iPad after I swiped my card. He pressed the buttons to get the tip he wanted and finished the payment process. Everything is in Chinese and that's why he takes advantage.

The spicy hotpot has no taste, just 10% chili pepper and oil floating on it.

A+ [would come again / 還會再來]

- lunch pricing all you can eat is a must for max value
- plenty of meat options (3 tiers) to choose from
- grab your own veggies
- they also have seafood you can freely take from the fridge (fish, clam, mussel+) but not the freshest
- it was very stuffy (no AC) so do come on a colder day
- customer service was nice and attentive (meat dishes came out fast and you can only choose up to 3 each time)
- the meat quality was okay, nothing stood out
- their broth is amazing (really like the balance between spicy and non spicy)
- interior has an ancient Chinese feel with the wooden design and chairs
- also has side bar with chicken wings, seaweed and pig ears etc.

The lunch price is very affordable, and after tax and tip, it’s only $22 for all-you-can-eat. The selection of vegetables and seafood in the freezer is incredibly plentiful, making it well worth the price, and the quality is great. Definitely worth a try!

AYCE hotpot is more cost-effective, with three different meat packages: A, B, and C. The price of package A during lunch is more affordable, only $16.95 per person, and dinner is $24.99. The buffet hotpot is so full that it’s so filling! ! !

I was recommended by Amway on Xiaohongshu, but I saw a post saying it tasted terrible and was going to change places. But when everyone arrived, I came in and there was really only one waiter, but the quality of the mutton was pretty good. I came at 11:30, and all the tables were there. It's basically full, and the dishes and side ingredients are neatly arranged and delicious. The taste of the soup base is purely spicy. I ordered spicy and sour. Personally, I prefer hot and sour because it is more fragrant. At 17 yuan, I think it's still worth it. Before I left, they even served watermelon at Xiao Liao. I think if you order the 40 yuan set meal, it might not be as worth 17.

At this price, the quality of the food will not be much better, but I still want to eat cheaply as long as I can eat it. I was surprised by a few points. 1. The service attitude is good. Not only will I not bark when the place is full, Ignore you, and even take the initiative to patrol the station. One time, I didn't even need to call. I looked up and was about to find someone, but as soon as I made eye contact, I quickly came over. To be honest, I felt a little sorry. 2. The meat is delicious and fragrant. 3. It’s very strange that in many other hot pot restaurants, no matter what kind of hot pot is cooked without dipping sauce, it tastes bland. It seems to have nothing to do with the bottom of the pot. However, in this restaurant, it is delicious even without dipping sauce. It is fresh and salty. . 4. It is very strange that the dipping sauce in many other hot pot restaurants will be less and lighter as you eat. It is certain that the dipping sauce in this restaurant will be less and less, but the taste will not be weakened at all. I admire this very much. 5. The chicken wings look extremely hard to see, but taste extremely delicious. When I picked them up, I didn’t know they were chicken wings, because I couldn’t tell from the appearance that they were chicken wings. I thought they were the so-called vegetarian dishes of Fujian Buffieri, which are sweet and spicy, but I didn’t expect them. The flavor marinated so well.
The happy restaurant in Wanli can't compare with this one in all aspects. It's a long way from the happy restaurant. Only the long-haired waiter at the happy restaurant deserves special praise. It's great. She is all old turtle. I personally heard a famous old turtle teach a new baby turtle: "Ignore him or her."
