Staff clearly knows what's gluten free, happily points it out on the menu and at the dipping sauce station. Dipping sauce station is super clean and appeared free of contamination, no mixing of ingredients/sauces. Vegan options are obvious on the menu, and plentiful. Service was stellar, and soooo was the food! This is is my new favorite, hands down. Show up hungry, the servings are generous.
❤️ watermelon lemon tea!

Szechuan Mansion Hotpot in Durham is a popular spot for hotpot enthusiasts, known for its fantastic ambiance and attentive service. Being slightly smaller than its Cary counterpart, it can get busy, especially on weekends, with wait times reaching up to 40-45 minutes, as they do not accept reservations. The restaurant operates on a first-come, first-served basis, making patience essential for diners.
The menu features a variety of options, allowing guests to order by plate rather than an all-you-can-eat model, which helps with portion control. Many customers enjoy selecting the Ying Yang pot, which offers a blend of flavors, and the marinated beef is also a favorite. The broth options include a spicy version that packs a numbing kick and a regular broth that's noted for its authentic flavor. Diners can create their own dipping sauce at a dedicated sauce station, enhancing the overall experience.
While some have mentioned issues with flies due to open doors, the restaurant is praised for its fresh ingredients, including tender meats and a variety of veggies. The drink options, particularly the watermelon and lemon teas, are highly recommended. Overall, Szechuan Mansion Hotpot is a great place for sharing a delicious hotpot experience.
