Top One Pot Jilin Restaurant — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

The décor here is definitely unique—Chinese-inspired with a dark, moody vibe, and random "Taoist talismans" featuring lighthearted phrases. Totally unexpected but fun.

We tried two broths: the classic chicken pot and the royal spicy hot pot. The royal spicy one was super flavorful—not the numbing, fiery kind you’d find in China, but rich and balanced. The tofu and duck blood cubes soaked up the broth beautifully—I could honestly eat them with just a bowl of rice. Bonus points for free refills on broth, tofu, duck blood, and rice!

The free flow rice is of poor quality too. Not forgetting the soup base, is not great and not...
