TIAN CI CHONG QING FARM HOTPOT

I am generally suspicious of restaurants in city centers, as I think that due to the ambiance and attraction of these restaurants, they only maintain a minimal level of quality, knowing that the customer won't visit more than once. However, this is not the case in Rome, and even in the heart of the city, restaurants always maintain very high quality. This restaurant is also like that. It is one of the best. The atmosphere is excellent, the prices are good, the food is delicious, the ingredients are fresh, and the staff are polite. Everything is superb. After dinner, you can take a stroll to the amazing streets nearby. From here to the Spanish Steps, you have about a twenty-minute walk.

The hot pot broth and Chongqing noodles were pretty good, but the hot pot ingredients were a bit pricey and portion sizes were small. The ingredients weren’t very fresh, but having hot pot at all was still nice. Convenience location but there are still rooms to improve. I would give this place a 3.5 to be exact.

I was very disappointed with my visit. The sesame oil and sesame paste both had the wrong colour, which was quite off-putting. The mushrooms had clearly been frozen for far too long and were in poor condition. The meat looked obviously unfresh. On top of that, the service was extremely poor. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I absolutely loved this hot pot spot! The broth was so flavorful, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was lively and fun, perfect for a gathering. Plus, the location is super easy to get to. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

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.

Overall, I would rate this restaurant with 3 stars ⭐️ 1 star ⭐️: the interior decoration looks nice 1 star ⭐️: the soup base of the hotpot is good, but the choices for the dip source are limited. 1 star ⭐️: the location is good, very easy to find it via google map.

For a hotpot restaurant in Rome, this place is pretty good. The spicy soup base isn’t spicy enough but otherwise it’s worthy of going if you like hotpot.

Authentic Sichuan broth! Just keep in mind if you decide to order the spicy one because they mean business - it’s extra hot! Spicy broth was well-seasoned and delicious nonetheless. Price is on the steeper side but food quality is good. Service can be improved as they missed an order and brought out a few different orders.
