Hi Pot and Kim Tao used to be the two best hot pot places in richmond hill until HiPot's owner sold the resto and Kim Tao came under horrible, unfriendly, new management, as well as failing a couple of recent health inspections. Ever since then I've had to go to Little Sheep in scarborough or somewhere downtown for good hotpot.
This place just opened up recently and I think I've found the new go-to hotpot in richmond hill. The price is slightly more expensive (a la kaka ayce pricing) than the other hotpot fare around but some seafood is included in the price which more than makes up for it.
In addition, u tell the waiter what sauces u want and they bring em to u in little serviettes so u hve ur own custom sauce bar at ur table. The meat is really thinly sliced and also nice and fatty.
My fave soup base is definitely the pork and corn infused broth. It was sweet yet savoury at the same time. Service can vary A LOT depending on who u flag down so be warned haha. Most of the waiters only speak mandarin with the exception of one or two who know english, so be patient.
