Discovering Sichuan Spicy Hot Pot in San Marcos! 😊

Yesterday, I visited this hot pot spot called Shabu Works with friends, and the experience was beyond expectations! As a hot pot enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for authentic Chinese flavors, and their Sichuan Spicy Soup Base truly amazed me—the rich numbing spice and fiery kick blended perfectly, with a deep, layered broth that totally reminded me of classic hot pot joints back in China! 🌶️🔥 Compared to other chain hot pot restaurants, this place focuses more on traditional Chinese recipes, making it feel like a quick trip to the streets of Sichuan. Besides the taste, what sets this place apart is their bottomless drinks! 🥤💖 I got a little “creative” by using milk tea as a base and loading it with tons of toppings like boba, pudding, and red beans—it was like a DIY dessert feast! 😂😂 Sipping my custom drink while dipping meat into the hot pot made the meal even more enjoyable. Plus, the all-you-can-eat format is just $37 per person, with fresh ingredients ranging from fatty beef to vegetables. It’s worth mentioning that the restaurant offers membership discounts—joining can save you money, though we didn’t sign up this time and plan to try it next visit. Overall, Shabu Works offers great value and attentive service, perfect for friend gatherings or family meals. If you’re around San Marcos, I highly recommend giving this Chinese-style Sichuan spicy hot pot a try! 💯🍲 #SichuanSpicyHotPot #SanMarcosFood #ShabuWorksReview #AllYouCanEatHotPot #CreativeMilkTea #FoodDiary #AuthenticChineseFlavor
