I've tried both the wet and dry version. I much prefer the wet version. I ordered the wet version medium spicy and it had the right amount of spice. I suggest you start with medium spicy (if you like spicy), and then make your way up if you do so desire. In my opinion, if you like spicy foods and Chinese hot pot, this is the perfect place for you. This is also a good place to eat by yourself or with someone else. The problem I have is that I need to learn how to portion control. I load my bucket with veggies, meats and noodles that it can get quite expensive. However, if you can't finish, you can always ask for a takeout bowl. That's 2 meals for the price of 1.
