In Spring Hot Pot&Fine Asian Fusion Cuisine — Restaurant in Halifax

A friend and recently I had dinner at In Spring Hot Pot & Asian Fusion on Salter St. It was our first time doing hot pot and we both really enjoyed it. For $29.99, we got 2 broths plus everything on the buffet, including sliced meats, meatballs, seafood cuts, different fish balls, many types of tofu, noodles, mushrooms, vegetables and more. There is also a good sauce bar where you can even make your own sauce mix. For dessert (included), we tried the ice jelly and taro sago coconut milk which was light, not too sweet, and a great end to the meal. There is also a premium menu if you want to upgrade your selections but honestly, we didn't feel it necessary for our first time.

I always wondered about these type of buffet and how they managed to control food waste and maintain freshness so was pleased to see that almost everything was frozen! The buffet itself is a salad bar meets ice cream freezer to keep everything at the right temperature. Be sure to try the sausage and fish balls as they are really tasty.

We had the spicy malabroth (definitely spicy, even for someone with a very high tolerance) and chicken which was quite light and a nice option for more delicate flavours. On our way out, we passed a table having the mushroom broth and that smelled heavenly.

The server was very sweet and helpful, even as the restaurant filled up and she was the only one working.

Overall, a really fun, interactive and delicious experience with great value. We'll...

This is not the first time for me to eat hot pot in your store. Every time I need hot pot dishes, I will give priority to buying them from your shop.

But since the new clerk came to the store last month, the speed of pick-up has become very, very slow, because the new clerk can not order, she didn’t know how to order the pound, the chef can finish the order in five minutes, she tried 20 minutes and didn’t finish!

Until the chef helped her to order me, she was still asking the chef how to order items with pound.

I said "thank you" a thousand times during the 20 minutes I waited for the clerk to learn how to order, but today's experience made me feel that she was completely unreasonable.

On the evening of 26th today, I came in and selecting frozen ingredients.

This Miss.can’t-order and the kitchen first told us the food that we want is in the stock, and promised we wait for 10 minutes. After 10minutes we ask them, they changed their words and said that need to wait for another 10-20 minutes, the most triable thing is they finally changed their words to ‘Sorry actually we don’t have the food which you want in the stock.

Funny thing is I went out in the rice ball delivery app to order a self-pick up, all ingredients can be placed order.

Your rude clerk is a blight...

My solo dining experience at In Spring Chinese Buffet in Halifax reached new heights with their unique hot pot offering. The interactive buffet allows patrons to cook their raw ingredients, and my choice of the tomyam broth added an extra layer of flavor excitement to the meal.
