Food is fantastic here. Came here last month with my wife and we had a blast here. It is a bit pricy in my opinion but it was worth it and I was very satisfied. There was a very interesting drink that was my favourite due to the bottle(very clever) I would for sure come back here the next time I visit Irvine.

So authentic! Take me back to Chengdu! The hot pot is so spicy and tasty.
I preferred: Chicken Gizzards, Tender Beef slice, Chicken Drumsticks, Spicy duck blood.
Highly recommended!

The food was good. Only reason I gave it a four star is because they need a little more work with the staff’s attitude. It was kinda awkward walking in and just standing there for a good while. They weren’t busy at all at that time. Besides that everything else with fine.

When I get a craving for hotpot, this is the first place that comes to mind.
Their soup bases are tasty, with a variety of meat and vegetable options. The service is always friendly and inviting.
The only thing they need to worry about is upgrading their tables and chairs. I believe the heat from the hotpot cracked the table, making it appear unsafe and uneven when they placed the pot on the mini oven inside the table.

This is a speciality hot pot with skewers; unlike the conventional hot pot that you have the sliced meat mostly, but instead you have diced meat on skewers. Two major differences between the skewer hot pot and conventional hot pot:
1. The diced meat is more tender and juicer.
2. The soup is condensed and very oily making the skewer hot pot cooking like half boiling and half frying.
