Came in on a Sunday evening when every other hot pot spot in Allston had lines out the door. This was the only place where we could sit right away. Based on the name, I assumed it was strictly a hot pot joint, but the menu was much broader. Standard QR code ordering system, food came out fast.

Most of my friends recommended the dry pots, so we went with pork and beef versions, plus a regular pork hot pot for comparison. All pots come with six toppings by default...
Great for mala (dry) and for other shareable plates. Their large dish can definitely be split between 3 or so people. Would highly recommend recommend if you’re in the area and craving something spicy. Parking is of course very difficult to find, but not unusual for the area.
Who dare can challenge the recration of this restaurant’s original taste of Sichuan beef noodles, and mala xiangguo?

As a Korean food critic who enjoys Sichuan cuisine, I can definately say, if you want to experience the authentic local flavors, come to this place. Here truly exists little Sichuan.

Although I've only lived in these area for three months, this is the best Sichuan beef soup & mala xiangguo restaurant in Boston.
