My daughter brought us to this Beijing Hot Pot in Flushing NYC. The serving attendant Hui was taking care of us well. A nice cosy environment. I like the Beijing Opera dolls nicely decorated on the wall. The charismatic server Hui told us s that Beijing hotpot style is different from the Chongqing where they emphasize on the tastes while the later is more on the degree of spicyness. In deed. It was a different experience from other hotpot restaurants. A word of caution, even I experience spicy food, this "mild" can be still too spicy for me with my sweats all over, luckily it was freezing winter outside.
Tried this traditional Beijing-style hotpot spot recently and absolutely loved it! Unlike the usual spicy hotpot places, this one focuses on a light, clear broth that really lets the natural flavors of the meat, tofu, veggies, and noodles shine. It felt so comforting, especially in this cold weather. Perfect for long meals and good conversation.
The ambiance is beautiful too, with a traditional Chinese vibe that adds to the whole experience. I really appreciated how relaxing and cozy it felt. Definitely a go-to for a chill winter dinner with friends or family. Can’t wait to go back!
The hotpot tastes very good, it is my first Beijing hot pot experience. The waiters are very helpful and customer friendly. Will come back again. Xiaohui good
Good food and drinks and vibes! Would come back! Flavorful.
Soya is a good waitress and served us very well!
We stopped by on a sunny day and noticed their unique decor - filled with trees. We didn't realize their advertisement sign didn't apply for weekends until after we sat down.
Their spicy lamb was on the strong side, but was nice minus the tough bones. I enjoyed the circle of meat around the hot pot as it was quite unique. There was also black jelly available.
The dried tofu, shrimp paste, and fish balls were quite overpriced and is fairly standard.
Service was on the slower side as our water cups usually remained empty
