Spicy House Hot Pot Restaurant

If you’re coming here for traditional hot pot where you cook your own food — don’t. They cook everything for you and the servings are small per each side dish. I’d say they give you about 1 – 2 people’s servings worth of sides (e.g fish tofu, Chinese cabbage etc.) Also if you can’t take chilli –don’t (in regards to hot pot bases.) We order the least chilli (Sichuan pepper & pork soup base or something like that) and it was okay for the first few bites. But then after that our throats, tongues and lips felt numb and tingly. Not a nice feeling if that’s not what you wanted.
Haven’t come here for anything other hot pot, but in general if you don’t enjoy spicy food to some extent you’re probably better off staying away, unless you’re feeling masochistic/​adventurous.

One of the only places that serves up good Szechuan restaurants around Sydney — where they serve up dishes with the chilli that actually numbs the tongue. I haven’t had such good spicy food since I was in China. My mum was impressed — and if my mum is impressed, the food must be amazing. Be prepared to not feel your tongue for a while — it’s all kinda fun though, I promise!
We ordered the braised beef noodles ($ 8.80 for lunch! What a bargain) and the spicy beef noodles ($ 8.80). The portions were quite big and the taste was a good balance of spicy and flavoursome. For the price and taste, it’s as good as it gets. There are big chunks of soft, tender beef and the noodles were perfectly cooked.
The service was very good and the place is clean with bright and new décor. Don’t let the red chillies scare you, give this place a try!
