| - I came here during their soft opening. The concept of having an AYCE chicken pot and then transforming the same pot into a hot pot is friggin' genius! The menu was a bit confusing in the beginning, but they have revised it and is now easier to understand.
Chicken pot was originated from Sichuan, China; hence you will taste the mala spice! It has gain popularity in Hong Kong and it has now become a cultural signature! There are over 250 restuarants in Hong Kong serving this type of cuisine. Now, the concept is finally here in Toronto, and the first in North America!
If you don't eat mala spicy, you can choose the level of spiciness for the Original chicken pot or try the Cheese chicken pot with popcorn chicken, which was my favourite! The meal also includes fresh, daily made chicken soup, and steamed chicken rice on the side. The rice takes 20 minutes, so make sure you ask them to put the order in as soon as you sit down! They did not include dessert the second time I was there, not sure how the dessert works - no harm to ask :)
The chicken pot and basic hot pot items are AYCE :) Once you have finished your pot of chicken, the server will fill the same pot with chicken broth and continue with the hot pot experience! If you want fresh sliced meats, and deep fried bean curd (my fave!), you can add $4.99 per person for the deluxe hot pot experience.
GoGo Chicken Pot (???) grand opened on March 26, 2018. It is now $29.99 pp for Original Chicken Pot, and $35.99 pp for Cheese Chicken Pot. Kids under 3 is free, under 10 is half price. The flow of the whole authentic experience is definitely something to work on. There are plenty of room for improvement, and I hope this restaurant will succeed :) Keep up the good work!
