QINGSHU FONDUE 青蔬捞烫 — Restaurant in Montreal

Having traversed the breadth of the city to sample every hotpot establishment in sight, my journey led me to what has now become a staple in my culinary adventures. Qingshu Fondue distinguishes itself with an innovative approach that resonates deeply with both novices and connoisseurs of hotpot cuisine.

At Qingshu, the process is straightforward yet brilliantly catered to individual preferences. Diners have the liberty to select their ingredients, priced by the 100 gram with a minimum requirement of 400 grams. This method is a fantastic deviation from the traditional all-you-can-eat format, providing a tailored experience for those who prefer precision over abundance. The array of traditional food items available for selection is vast, ensuring that every visit can offer a new taste experience. What’s more, the freshness of the ingredients is undeniable, with staff diligently replenishing the self-serve containers to guarantee the highest quality for every meal.

The customization extends to the choice of soup bases, with an enticing option to go for a dry variation if one so desires. This flexibility allows each diner to craft a meal that perfectly aligns with their flavor preferences, making each visit uniquely satisfying. The pricing structure is fair, reflecting the quality and customization available, though it’s worth noting that for the extremely famished, an all-you-can-eat venue might offer more economic value.

In conclusion, Qingshu Fondue has cemented its place as a must-visit destination in Montreal for those in pursuit of a hotpot experience that marries tradition with innovation. Its fresh ingredients, customizable options, and attentive service create a dining atmosphere that’s hard to match. Whether you’re a seasoned hotpot lover or new to the scene, Qingshu Fondue promises an unforgettable meal that will beckon you back...

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant today night (10/26) A young male staff member, I had never seen before, handled my payment. I clearly said that I wanted the “spicy soup base”. However, when the food arrived, it was made with the ”spicy dry mix“ instead. I told the staff that this isn’t what I ordered, and the employee who took my order came back. Without any apology, he rechecked the order and said they would remake the dish with spicy soup base.

I know the spicy dry mix contains ingredients like coriander, garlic, and chili flakes, while the spicy soup base doesn’t. I was confused and asked how they would fix it, given the ingredients don’t match. He assured me they could.

However, they just pour the spicy soup into the dish already cooked with spicy dry mix base. 😂

Of course I complained, then, he told me to bring agian the ingredients I wanted added. (What a waste of time)

When I got the dish again, I noticed they had removed most of the beef we originally added. We had put in a decent amount, but the serving was clearly reduced. No apology at any point.

The way they handled the mistake and reduced the food portions shows a real lack of trustworthiness. Just go...

Malatang fan! What an amazing discovery! But beware this is not a hotpot but a malatang meaning you choose your stuffs, you bring it to front and you choose a dry broth or wet broth! Thats it! Not a classic hotpot. So do not confuse 🥴.

First timer! Another alert. Normal pot prices average 30-40. Anything over this amount, you must be hungry. It was our first time sk our bowl cost over $70 per person but no worry we take out home.

I personnaly recommend the soup base broth as it is more comfort. The dry pot is also good. Get ready to bring some home

Personnal note: super dude call jackson so patient as it was an one man show. Thank you for the...
