It was a cold rainy day and getting hotpot was my hope to cure for such a day. I had walked by this restaurant earlier in my travels and decided to head back here for dinner. When I walked in, it was not busy at all with just one table with one person dining. Normally if a place isn’t busy when I arrive, I pass on it. Since I’m traveling, I am exploring restaurants inside my destinations.
The atmosphere is pretty nice with its decor and design. Food quality is mediocre as the meat items I ordered looked to be freshly thawed out with some icicles evidence. The service is not good especially with the language miscommunications. There is a Condiment setup but not obvious to anyone unless you’ve been here or see others self servicing. I just happened to ask the server about that setup which he said go ahead. Yet he didn’t address/disclose there was a usage cost. When I see the Condiments, I noticed a glowing blue bug zapper next to the bowls. As I peer into each bowl, I noticed a bug drowned in one of the sauces. Yes I attempt to inform the workers and made them aware it was a bad thing. Ordering labeled items (with images) from a tablet can still result in errors to your order accuracy, as I experienced. I am familiar with Asian cuisine and was oddly confused there was no offering of plain basic white rice on the menu to pair with my hotpot meal. Therefore I ordered the fried rice and my feedback is the rice dish was dry and lacking pleasure. At least they don’t over “salt and soy sauce” the dish. For the hotpot soup, I ordered the big split pot of tomato and natural soup. I was pleased with the flavorful taste of the tomato soup base.
Unexpectedly and in total shock, I found out I was charged 1.00€ per person for condiment usage and 2.00€ cover service per person. Overall it’s overpriced and I wouldn’t come back here again.
