Very flavorful food. We got our pot in mild and it was on the spicier side. The spicy pot comes with free peanuts and free white rice :). It was so much food that we expect 2 – 4 more meals to come out of our leftovers. Customer service was a little lacking and the waiters were a little rude. English seemed to be a challenge for the waiters so please be aware. Overall a 4 star!

I give the one star because a terrible terrible terrible staff. Of course I didn’t mean any staffs. I just want to mention the stuff that served us. When we walked here, she served us without any smile, okay, that is okay, but she treat every customer as they owe her money. Also, we sat there for a long time without any drink. This is not a way to earn tips. Can u enjoy ur meal if your staff treats you with impatient?

Came here afterwork for dinner with a group of friends craving some some spices on our tongue. I live close by in the neighborhood(the restaurant is in a convenient location, close enough to 8 ave but not in the heart of it so there is not much leg traffic) in 7th avenue down the street from the train station. I had expected a wait since there was a group of us, however once we walked in we had a table right away.(Perhaps because it was a Thursday night.) I had expected this restaurant to be a mala hot pot restaurant judging from the outside, but upon ordering the menu didn’t provide a hot pot option and I didn’t see any patrons getting hot pot either. Instead of hot pot, the restaurant offered a stir fried mix bowl with your choices of veggies, seafood and meat. You choose and check of which items you want in your mix bowl from the menu. Every veggie you choose is ¼ lb and meat is 1⁄3 lbs, and all stir friend together with your level of spice.(We choose mild, but that was suffice for us.) We also order the FJ fish head and tofu soup, which was lip smacking good. Tasted authentic and something that you would expect in the home of a family that reside in the villages of China.(Fish head soup is highly recommend because it usually creates a sweeter broth.) That was the only non-spicy item I saw on the menu. The staff was nice and accommodating and gave us free herbal cooked peanuts. I had a horrible time communicating with the staff because they were all native mandarin speakers, but luckily I had mandarin friends that saved the day. HEADSUP: Bring a mandarin friend with you to make ordering easy! :) The decoration of this place is cute which is why I had been eyeballing it for a while, the outside have a catchy chill pepper with a Chinese name as the name of the restaurant(which I couldn’t read), but the menu is in English and Chinese. For those that don’t know Chinese would still be able to order. I was slightly disappointed that this place didn’t offer mala hot pot… the quest continues!

Very happy with the spicy seafood soup: for just seven dollars, a large hotpot-style soup of four kinds of mushrooms, tofu skin, seaweed, cabbage, and your choice of seafood(i had clams and mussels). As other reviews said, the lowest level of spicy is still spicy. I tried the medium and could barely walk the next day. They’re not kidding with the stylized chili pepper over the door! The menu is bilingual, Chinese and English.

A decent, somewhat cozy hotpot place that clearly gets the Favor Taste overflow.(Wait at FT looked like an hour; here, about 20 min., on a Sat. night.). The«dry» hotpot is a nice option for those times you want to pick your own hotpot ingredients but don’t have the energy to do all the dipping and cooking. Chose the lowest spice level, and it was plenty hot, so be forewarned. Weaknesses:(1) they haven’t yet figured out how to manage seating. I was a party of two; there was another waiting; and I had to talk the waitstaff into letting us share a round table that they said they were holding for a larger party, though none were waiting(or arrived later). And why were they letting two kids — the overflow from a huge family table take up another table playing w. their iPhones but not eating?(2) Ordered beef and fish slices as the«meats» in our Hotpot. Plenty of beef — to much almost — but nearly no fish, few small bits only near bottom of bowl. That said, servers were nice and quick to refill water glasses. I’d try it again, especially if you don’t like the volume at Favor Taste and Mister Hotpot.

New restaurant opened so me and my girls came to try it out. Very good food and service with free appetizer and free drinks! We had a great time. They had three types of spicy, and we chose the less spicy. It was just right. The decoration is simple but welcoming. Will definitely come again!
