Chan Chi Hot Pot Lab - Dunnan Branch — Restaurant in Da'an District

One of the best hotpot experience I've had in Taiwan. The interior of the restaurant is so unique like going back in time. They had 2 soup bases, one spicy one non spicy. We tried both and the mala soup (medium spice) was the perfect amount of spice and numbing but still drinkable. Non spicy soup was tasty and comforting. Meat selection was good and you are able to choose half portion for some of the items. Best item we ordered were the taro meatballs. It was so good we had to order another portion. The service here was amazing and staff were so attentive. Definitely not the cheapest hotpot but so worth it. We did not make a reservation, we walked in at 5.15pm and managed to get a seat immediately. But the place was already quite crowded. When we left at 7pm, there was a long queue outside. Recommend to make a reservation or can try coming here at a off peak timing. Highly recommend this hotpot place and would definitely come back here when I visit...

TOP TIP For same day booking arrive when they open and request a ticket for the same day dinner time. Not a guarantee but we got a seat for the same day for dinner time. Otherwise the wait is more than a month for a reservation.

This hot pot is a must-try for all foodies out there! The quality of ingredients is outstanding, and the mala soup base is absolutely delicious. I was hesitant to try the duck blood, but after reading rave reviews in the comments, I gave it a try and was blown away by how good it tasted in the soup. All the ingredients and seafood were incredibly fresh, and the service was excellent. The only downside was the limited items available for order, but this should not deter you from checking out this amazing hot pot restaurant. Overall, highly...

A Hot & Spicy hotpot restaurant that is nearly impossible to get a reservation, it is always full and there is always a line, you almost felt like winning a lottery when you got a table.

The taste itself is heavy but not that salty, a bit greasy due to the chili oil on top but it won’t ruin your appetite. However, the downside of the soup base is that I couldn't taste the numbing sensation from the Sichuan pepper that normally exists in Hot & Spicy hotpot.

The duck blood jelly gives me the wow factor, normally I will say 'NO THANK YOU' to that type of food, but this restaurant makes it so good that is hard to resist.

The price will intimidate your wallet for sure but the food quality and the service from their staff...
