🔥 Vancouver Hot Pot Alert: The Dolar Shop’s Lunch Special

📍 The Dolar Shop Hot Pot Lansdowne Centre, Richmond Visited on Labour Day for their infamous lunch special – still a solid deal, but with a scoop-sized disappointment. Here’s the full scoop: 🍲 What We Ordered ✔ Lunch Set for 2 (29.99 + 3 holiday surcharge) • Choice of broth: Went with spicy + collagen (still rich and flavorful) • Meat platter: Thinly sliced beef, lamb, and pork (quality consistent as ever) • Veggie + tofu platter: Fresh, generous portions ✔ Add-ons: • Handmade noodles ($5.99): Chewy, perfect for slurping • Ice cream (complimentary): Tiny scoop – noticeably smaller than before 😢 💡 The Good, The Bad, The Icy ✅ Pros: ✔ Same great broth bases (no skimping on flavor) ✔ Affordable lunch deal (even with the $3 holiday upcharge) ✔ Convenient location (free parking + mall stroll post-meal) ❌ Cons: ✖ Shrinking dessert portions (RIP to the generous ice cream days) ✖ Weekend/holiday pricing (+$3 per set – worth noting for budget-conscious diners) 🏆 Final Verdict ✔ Still a great value – $100 for 3 people with leftovers ✔ Best for: Quick lunches, family meals, mall shoppers ✔ Skip if: You’re ice cream-obsessed (might leave wanting more) 💰 Damage: ~$30-40 per person 📌 Tip: Weekdays = better deal (no holiday surcharge!) #VancouverEats #HotPotLovers #RichmondBC
