i'm not a hot pot guy because usually the broth doesnt come out the way it is supposed to taste and you have to know what to add to make it taste like it is authentic. another reason i do not like hot pot is cause i do not really like paying to cook for myself.

so i went in with low expectations and i went with a group of people but made sure to get at least tom yum and after a spoonful to taste, i was like yeah they already passed test one. could it have been a tad spicier? probably, but then the others might not like it that spicy. anyway the service was great, the food was great, the broth was great. luckily the others i went with did not mind doing the cooking and helped served me (digging out the meats or veggies from the pot and topping my rice with it). also they have premade dipping sauces for the meats so you do not have to worry if you are doing it wrong. they also have a small show and depending on what time, they will have a bingo game which the winner will get 30% off of your current meal. which is great so it doesnt force you to come back to eat there again. it can be pricey if, but definitely worth it. if i had a big group of people going with me i would go again but i do not really go to these types of...

Shu Daxia MBK is where dinner turns into a full-blown spectacle. Gold pillars, glowing lanterns, and a dragon big enough to need its own postal code — it’s like dining inside a Chinese palace that fell through a portal from Vancouver’s Chinatown. The triple-broth setup was the move: earthy mushroom for balance, tom yum for the citrus punch, and spicy pork for the brave souls who think Sriracha is mild. Every paper-thin slice of beef and pork cooked in seconds and came out silky enough to make any chef back home jealous.

Then came the curveball — a masked dancer stepped on stage mid-meal, gliding and spinning like a hotpot halftime show. One minute you’re fishing noodles, the next you’re watching live theatre with chili oil in your hand. The crowd loved it.

The sauce bar sealed the deal — rows of sesame, garlic, cilantro, and every spicy concoction imaginable. It’s a build-your-own adventure for flavour junkies.

Sure, it’s pricier than your average Bangkok bite, but this isn’t just food. It’s fire, art, and dinner theatre rolled into one bubbling cauldron of chaos — a perfect night for anyone who thinks “too spicy” just means...
