Chuan Yu Mala Hotpot — Restaurant in Chong Nonsi Subdistrict

I want to say this place has really over rated. I would only give 4 maximum. I am from Chongqing , I think I have the qualifications to say it .

1️⃣The food : not good not bad , like mediocre. The variety is fine though , still has many different choices of vegetables , less meat potions . Bad discount options : top up 10000baht , and got 20% discount , No other ways And I had dirrrea the next few hours and the next whole day , we came there 5 people , 4 of us got stomachache .

2️⃣Service : service is fine . Since there’s no extra service fee charge . So I’ll skip this part

3️⃣Location and environment: environment was good , many Chinese style decorations. The location is seriously too remote . I drove my scooter there , when I came . I got confused if the road , and had to drive back. When I go back , I totally lost by navigation . I end up crossed the expressway, and no way to turn , and stopped by the police(thank god) , and helped me going back to normal road . It’s just too bad location . My friend too , he drives his scooter . He almost ho I to...

No wonder this place has a 4.8 stars rating, even with over 2,000 reviews!

The ingredients are fresh and the broths are really tasty. There is also a DIY sauce buffet for you to make your ideal sauces. The atmosphere is super Chinese, in a good way. The restaurant is large and the portion of the food is huge. (Thus, it's worth the high price).

You have to order using the restaurant's iPad, which is all in Chinese. This part was a bit confusing. Would have appreciated the staffs explaining more (since there were so many staffs standing and waiting to do something). We also got wrong orders twice and only received the apron after one of us got tainted shirt due to Mala soup. Hence, the service part is only 3/5.

There are traditional Chinese costumes for customers to wear and take photos (without cost). And there is currently a promotion where if your order is above 600 Baht, you can get a coin for the kachapon machine. You can win many kind of prices, including gift...

4.5 ⭐ Drove past this place so many times, finally have the opportunity to visit, and was not disappointed 😁.

FOOD: good quality and very fresh which are the most important for these Hotpot places 😊. Huge range of selections to choose from and generous portion size. Making your own dipping sauce are all the rage these days 😂. Enough soup choice to give one a headache 🤣, lastly, the premium menu were beautifully presented too. 9/10

SERVICE: superb, fast and precise. Courteous, polite, patience. 9/10

FACILITY: since this place is quite new, all is above part, the decor is lively and vibrant 👍. Spacious but the ventilation could have been better though 😂. Very large parking space too. 8/10

PRICE: not cheap, in line with what was served...
