I am a huge fan of fondue, in terms of making it myself or going somewhere to get it. I was hoping Hanashima would change my idea that good hot pot in Montreal is really not possible. Honestly, this place doesn't do it for me. I came for the first time with my boyfriend awhile back and we ordered I believe the regular broth with just vegetables, no meat. The broth was flavorless and bland, and the vegetables were very little on a rectangular plate. It was very expensive for what was given. I think it was an extra 5 or 6 dollars for more vegetables...which is strange because vegetables shouldn't be that expensive. The only decent dish we ordered was the salad, but even that was given in such a small portion. I prefer Mongolian in terms of broth/soup base. They have more flavor and taste. Service was ok, but food did not live up to my standards.
