Edmonton Food Adventure｜Authentic Northeastern Chinese Spicy Hot Pot

Just stumbled upon this new spot through social media and decided to try it on opening night! Only three days old, but already worth recommending! 💰 Pricing: $3.99/100g for self-service ingredients (water drained before weighing) Our group of 3 adults + 1 kid spent $85 (with lots leftover!) Got an extra 30% discount at checkout! 🍲 What We Ordered: Spicy Mixed Noodles (Mala Ban): Got "mild spicy" (still pretty spicy!) - tastes just like my homemade hot pot sauce but without the hassle. Only ~$20 for a huge portion! Bone Broth & Sichuan Pepper Soup: Rich and flavorful (mom and hubby approved!) Minor hiccup: The brown sugar mochi was undercooked, but staff immediately remade it + gave us an extra portion! 👏 Tomato Soup Base: Kid-friendly, though mine said it had a slight peppery kick (probably white pepper). The owner mentioned they also have a plain bone broth option for those who can't handle spice. 🥣 Self-Serve Sauce Station: Full array of hot pot condiments. Coming soon: Northeast-style BBQ skewers! 💖 The Sweetest Touch: Tip options were 3%, 5%, or no tip - so wholesome I manually changed mine to 15%! 🥹 ⚠️ Room for Improvement: Lighting is super bright (feels more like a cafeteria than a restaurant) Playlist is early 2000s English pop (not exactly romantic, but fun for family meals!) 📍 Address: 5407 Gateway Blvd NW, Edmonton 🔥 Final Verdict: Great flavors, generous portions, and heartwarming service - highly recommend for a casual, satisfying meal! #EdmontonEats #ChineseFood #ComfortFood #SpicyLovers #NortheasternCuisine #FamilyFriendly #SupportLocal
