I have always wanted to go and I loved it when I went. It’s a nice small place and you will pay for what you eat. So cool, great food. I LOVED IT. Definitely going back.

Food was quite bad, many of the meat (meatballs, sausages) had a weird taste to them. The chicken is catastrophic (see photo). The upside is that there are more broth options to,choose from, especially spicy broth, which I think isn't available in similar places in UDistrict.

Im pretty sure they skim meat out of your bowl after paying for it. I got almost a whole pound of beef, and they returned a bowl with more noodles than meat.

會偷菜 they secretly pull out some of the stuff you’ve paid for me and my friends have counted it and it actually happened 💀

great place to go when you have no idea what to eat, they have a variety of broth options for you to choose as well.

Both me and my friend liked it more than YGF and we talked about coming here but we both got food poisoned. She had diarrhea for two days and I also had diarrhea but I puked too and felt nauseous for a long time. After getting food poisoned, my immune system got weak and I caught the flu.

I think there are many kinds of meatballs here. There are also many choices of soup base.

Qingshu Hot Pot is a malatang - “you pay for what you eat” - style restaurant. You grab a plate and tongs, select your ingredients for your hotpot soup, and the staff weigh your ingredients to determine the price. The base price is $14.99 / 1lb and the minimum weight you can get is 0.8 lb.

They had a decent variety of ingredients spanning from vegetables, noodles, protein, and seafood. Some of the ingredients had labels (the meats and several of the seafood options) but some others did not, so as long as you’re familiar with what malatang restaurants generally serve, then picking the right ingredients that suite your palate shouldn’t be too difficult. Hopefully as the restaurant gains more recognition, the ingredient variety can expand. One of the favorite toppings was the mochi fish cake (tastes nothing special but had a unique texture) and the lobster ball (fishball filled with lobster flavored roe).

Broth selection was vast with a whopping 9 different broths to choose from. After paying for the meal, the staff cooks your ingredients with your chosen broth and they bring your bowl to you. Mid-meal, the staff brought me the noodles they forgot to put into my soup and they were very apologetic about it. Funnily enough, I didn’t even notice they forgot my noodles but seeing how quick they were to address the mistake shows how much they put in towards giving their customers the best service.

Overall, my experience visiting Qingshu Hot Pot was a good one. I recommend people to visit here! :)
