  • This review is for the hot pot (huo guo) and the hot pot only. For the poor souls not in the know, hot pot is a pot of boiling soup, into which you put raw meat, vegetables and noodles to cook at your table. The soup can be anywhere from mild to spicy in flavor, and you can also get the yin- yang, which is one side spicy and one side mild. I used to live in Chongqing, China, which is the hot pot center of the universe, so I was delighted when a Chinese friend told me she knew a place for hot pot in Arizona. We were greeted by exceptionally friendly waitstaff. "Are you drunk?" the waitress asked me, with a smile. "Um, no..." I said. "Oh! Oh no... I mean do you want a drink!" she corrected herself, blushing furiously. We laughed, knowing the evening was off to a good start. We ordered the spicy hot pot... the kind that hurts so good and makes you sweat, and went to the buffet to load up on meats, and veggies. The selection was pretty good. Lotus, lamb, pork, beef, prawns, tofu, eggplant, a variety of greens, noodles... there was also some stuff I'm less keen on like chicken hearts, but the beauty of a buffet is that you don't need to touch anything you don't want. I'm an omnivore, but vegetarians could make a good meal out of the veggie offerings in a hot pot. The waiter was very attentive throughout. My friend and I agreed that he was the happiest looking waiter we'd ever seen, almost to the point of being strange. After we had been eating hot pot for about two hours, we put up the white flag and moved on to dessert. The fruit was pretty picked-over, but the little cakes were good. I also tried the skanky looking scoop-it-yourself ice cream and decided buffets should stick to soft-serve. As I indicated at the beginning, I didn't try the other foods at the buffet. They looked nasty, but I am not a fan of pre-cooked buffets and American-style Chinese food in general. Price for dinner was about $20 pp. A little steep, but it's a special treat, not an every-day meal.
