Mega hotpot & BBQ 大红锅自助火锅烤肉自助酒家 — Restaurant in Albert-Eden

You can have a look at the place and food yourself before deciding to dine in or not. If you feel like that's what you want that's fine, if not you could walk away.

Overview: the price is way too high for the quality and range of food, and they cancelled the lunch discount the food for hotpot were not fresh at all the food for BBQ were decent the cooked dishes and the sauces were somehow stinky not much options, small range of food collection, free drinks and dessert the pots and BBQ plates are way too small to share

The price were $45.9 per person, we went for lunch as we thought there were lunch discounts according to menu on Google map, but they actually cancelled it :((

The reason we decided to dine in was because it was 3pm Saturday, most restaurants were either closed or full. The foods looked edible on the outside, but when you eat them they weren't fresh.

The meat rolls are turning dark, and the seafoods are defrosted for way too long, they were mushy and watery

The BBQ range were much fresher compared to the hotpot range, but not much to choose from, mainly meat there wasn't even mushrooms or potatoes. Therefore easily cloyed and left feeling still hungry.

There were barely much cooked dishes available, and the fish was stinky, but the waiter said that's just how the fish was supposed to smell. The same fish in the raw food sections we took and used for hotpot turned out to be fine which is pretty strange. The sauces was stinky and had to tell the waiters to renew it.

Soft drinks and iced tea are included in the price, as well as soft serve and desserts. However very small range, no cake no muffins, only 3 types of fruits.

The atmosphere felt cold and dirty so we wasn't comfortable to try the desserts and stuff (mainly due to the food wasn't fresh so things didn't felt safe to eat, as well as the lighting and decorations...

Pros: Interesting experience

Cons: -Lack of labelling and unreadable worn-out labels meant we didn't know what much of the food was. Way too much selection offered left us wondering how fresh the food was, which was revealed when trying the prawns which tasted sub par. Unsure who would choose the luncheon sausage pieces, and can only guess they'd sit there untouched. The grill took a long time to heat up and never got hot enough, limiting our allowed time slot. The beef was from tough stewing cuts unsuitable for the bbq, and we had insufficient time to boil them soft. If they had been velveted they would have been passable at least. Steamed buns had a tiny amount of grey brown filling with an off-putting smell like old socks. Inedible. Small baked dessert items looked nice but were just tasteless super dry bits of cake. Signage out the front suggests staff urge favourable reviews for a discount. This raises trust and business ethics questions for me.

If they focused on reducing the huge amount of options they'd be able to improve quality.

Will not be returning due to questionable...

Divine taste, friendly service, clean and tidy environment, ample parking, fabulous selection of choices.

You can opt for either hotpot or barbecue grill or even both.

Food is amazing, they even have roast kumaras and free flow winter melon drink and orange juice.

Appetizers and entrees are bountiful. The sweet and sour pork is amazing, love love love the hot dishes available.

Marinated la galbi (beef short ribs) is a tad under seasoned, but all other are to die for.

The mussels are huge! 🥳

Decor is quaint and colorful. The bronze statue at the front of the store is adorable.

There’s parking behind the restaurant. Yay for that.

Will most definitely come back again. Good job and well done to the owner and...
