小牛小鱼

I've only been here late, even there was only 1 other customer. The chill vibe vibe from soft music, the smooth service, and the great food make me want to come back more. For dry hotpot, I'll seek out this place when I'm in the area.

Both the griddle sliced fish and their spicy hot pot were seasoned really well and the fish had an amazing texture.

My girlfriend and I came to this place to try their mala xiang guo, dry hot pot. Ingredients was ok fresh, service was good the waitress was also doing phone orders as well as packing deliveries, multitasking and so we feel for her. Dry hot pot was on the salty side, not very spicy even tho we got medium spice. They added celery, which was interesting, I liked it. They also have sliced onions, i didn’t like, but they were easy to pick out therefore not an issue. Fried rice was mushy, but tasted good, eggs flavored. Cumin beef was not good, i only tasted the silver plate that it was on... They were doing promo, the lemon tea drink was free with a wechat post. lowkey Pricy.

Musy-try: 脆烤蹄花(pig foot). We ordered double flavor pot of dry pot bullfrog 干锅美蛙 and tomato fish 番茄鱼（鲜活皖鱼）. The quantity is large enough for 5 people. 干锅美蛙 costs approximately $72 for half pot which is a bit pricy, but understandable as bullfrog is not cheap. Personally I do not eat bullfrog, my friends like the taste. The fish is good. Be careful that there are tiny bones in it. We also ordered cucumber for cold dish. The final price is $25 per person. Not crowded at noon on Saturday. Nice to try if you live nearby.

Food was ok, waiter was eating the entire time I was and I tried for about 5 minutes to get his attention for a drink. I wasn't even 1/4 finished with my food when he came up to me and asked if I wanted the check. When I did finally ask for the check, I gave him my debit card and he asked for my ID. The rice I was given was in a small plastic cup and I was also given another incredibly small plastic plate. I don't think these were the actual serving plates judging by seeing what the waiter was eating off of. The couple next to me was asian and they also paid with card and they weren't asked for ID. Felt very insulting when I was nothing but polite. I even gave him over 25% tip after everything that happened. Really a shame cause I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food wasn't bad.
