This Hot Pot is by far the best I have tried in Dubai Wide choice of meat and veg.

Authentic Chinese hotpot feel. 👏🏻👏🏻
I always crave their hotpot especially during the winter season. Their dishes are fresh and the price just right. I love love their crab balls with stuffings. The peanut and sesame sauce is really good and always good 😋. We always choose around 6-8 dishes for our hotpot and the price is always right ranging from 150-300 dirhams but it still depends on what you’ll choose. Highly recommended and best hotpot in town 😁

Plus fruits and candies are always free, just ask for seconds.

I wake up craving this hot pot. Hidden near Fish roundabout a MUST for anyone that has ever been 'touched' by a true Chinese hotpot experience. Mine were all in China. This is the real (clean) deal.
Not sure why rated so low but i will bet my bottom dollar the best in DXB.
I always check the cleanliness of the washrooms and even this ticked the box.

Review:

It is always refreshing to visit restaurants in old Dubai that live up to the authenticity of the cuisine they offer. This is one of those places. As soon as you enter, you are met with the warm smile of the hostess who usher you to your table. Admiring the cozy interiors, you soon find others around you mesmerized by what lays in front of them... a pot of steaming broth; and their chosen vegetables, poultry, seafood and meat ready to sacrifice themselves by being dunked into the comforting broth. It also puts one at ease seeing that majority of the customers are Chinese... that's one up for the place being authentic. 

We were served by Awwal (if I remember his name correctly), a young Bangladeshi lad who has been working in the restaurant for the last 5 years, has a good knowledge of the menu and is fluent in Bengali and Cantonese (or Mandarin...excuse my ignorance, I am unable to tell the difference). He recommended we go for the tomato and the spicy broth as well as recommended a few other items off the menu. He also assisted us with the sauces - a fresh assortment of sesame, peanut, coriander, chilli, chives and soy I believe.

Soon enough we were busy dunking different things into the broth, chatting over the ingredients, contemplating life, showing off our chopstick skills (cause you know you got to do that...right?)... all things that make the hotpot experience that much special... It's a collective eating experience. 

Coming to the food itself, the tomato broth was really nice! The spicy one started off as spicy and got really hot...so might not consider that for the next time. They also have a clear broth and a mushroom broth which would be interesting to try on our next visit.

For the ingredients themselves, the handmade fish balls were sublime. You need to make small balls of hamour paste and chuck it into the broth...and they taste delicious! The Thai fungus, the mushrooms, crab balls, bok choy and seaweed were really good as well. 

To sum it up, it was a really nice experience we had at this place. A perfect place to go with family and friends, sit for hours and participate in the experience. As a word of caution, it is best to avoid the chilli broth (unless you can REALLY handle the spice). Also, avoid wearing white clothes...although, the restaurant does have aprons which you need to ask for.

Definitely a place worth visiting!

If you've never had a hot pot experience I suggest you try it at least once. It will broaden your horizon in terms of a a cultural experience.

The place isn't very easy to find: tucked away in one of the by lanes near the Fish Roundabout. Once you get there however you know you're in for a nice time.

The ambience is good, they've got decent lighting with comfortable seating. And each table comes equipped with its own induction hot plate.

You get to choose the kind of broth you want (we went with spicy beef and chicken - it was a two in one kind of vessel), and then the meat you want to drop into the broth. There's also an assorted number of vegetables, seafood, mushrooms, dumplings and noodles you can order; any one of which can make your meal interesting.

They have a sauce counter separate from the tables. There's a good variety of sauces available, and if you're a newbie you could be overwhelmed by the choices available.

Once you have your sauce ready the waiter brings over your broth in a big vessel and then leaves it to boil on your table. When the broth is hot enough you simply drop the raw meat and assorted items to cook, then fish it out with your chopsticks once its done (they have spoons and forks for the uninitiated) and dip it into your sauce and enjoy.

What makes it so special then? Perhaps its the fact that you get to sit with your family and friends and make your own meal together while laughing and having a good time that makes it worthwhile. All around you are Chinese folks reliving some custom from their homeland. That kind of makes you feel a bit more global.

The experience is good and I'd recommend you go with a group of people so that you enjoy it more. It's a slow meal to be enjoyed at leisure. In a fast food world this is something you need, to remember that life needs to be savored sometimes.

The lights kept going off every once in a while and that was a bit off putting. The sauces were too salty and I'm not sure how authentic they would be.

In the end a meal for 4 turned out to be 215 bucks. The owner was kind enough to round up the amount to 200 and gave us a discount of 15.

It seemed like a nice happy place where you could imbibe a culture in a somewhat authentic manner.

Go for the experience, sit back and relax with friends and take the time to live life to the fullest.

PS: You must have realised by now that I've rated the place for the ambience and experience. The food? It's good. Not the usual Chinese fare one expects. The broth lends the meat and toppings most of its flavor. The sauce does the rest. A quick tip: learn to use a pair of chopsticks; it's quite fun!

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) جيد جدا جدا! اللحوم والأسماك والمنتجات ذات النوعية الجيدة - حساء الهوت بوت لذيذ جدًا ... كما أن جميع الجوانب / الغمس ممتعة أيضًا. لتبريد التوابل نحصل دائمًا على مشروب حليب جوز الهند! نصيحة جيدة الكالينجيون (التعليق الأصلي) Very very good! Good quality meat, fish and produce - the hotpot soup is very flavorful… and all the sides / dipping also enjoyable. To cool spice down we always get the coconut milk drink! Good tip hehe
