Fondue Chinoise offers an authentic Szechuan hotpot experience with flavorful soup bases, including a vegan mushroom broth and rich pork bone soup base. The staff is attentive and helpful, making recommendations to suit individual tastes. Fresh ingredients and a great vibe make this hotpot a standout, with options like the brown sugar rice cake and beef oil soup base. The owner, who is from Beijing, is extremely hospitable and welcoming. Customers highly recommend the handmade shrimp balls and noodles, which are chewy and flavorful. The menu is authentic and fresh, and the owner's recommendations are worth trying. The restaurant offers easy access and parking across the road.
Customers have recently praised the kind and amazing owners, the fantastic food and service, and the excellent atmosphere. Many have expressed their intention to return, describing the traditional Chinese hotpot experience as very good.
