Chin Huajiao Banqiao Xianmin Boulevard — Restaurant in New Taipei

Unique Sichuan specialised hot pot. Overall it's very good. The meat is of good quality. The broth was very nice. The staff is very attentive and alert. They continuously refill the broth if you need it.

The environment is very modern and it's a good try if you like hotpot and want to try something new.

The ribs tasted good but were too chewy. You are supposed to just heat them up in the soup but in reality you'd have to simmer then for at least 30 min since they are too chewy.

The AC is very cold to make sure to bring clothes since it's not gonna be enough just to eat spicy food to not feel cold.

If your birthday is in the same month as your visit, you'll get a free dessert. This dessert tasted very good.

They have a discount offer of about 100NTD per person if you download their app. Easier said than done. In hindsight I rather pay the price than spend a long time on downloading registering etc just for a small discount.

In general a good visit if you...

A luxury hot pot restaurant, a brand managed by Wang Steak Limited. Signature of green Mala hotpot. Differ from other Mala hotpot, they use green chilli to make the soup base of hotpot, the taste is quite new and fresh, taste also not bad. The booking is quite full in other store in Taipei, this store in Banqiao is a bit easier to make appointment but timeslot is also limited. The service was good and decent, spacious environment, price is a bit expensive according to their service and...

Short review because it was just two of us dining so we didn't get to order a lot of dishes.

I chose 2 broths, the traditional Ma La which is more spicy and the other one with loads of Sichuan peppercorns for more numbing. The numbing broth wasn't very numbing and lost its character halfway through dinner. The Ma La one was spicier than the norm in Taiwan.

The ingredients were excellent as was the service. The sweet potato noodles weren't chewy...
