| - My 3 girlfriends and I went on a Friday night around 8 pm and it was moderately packed, but we still got a seat right when we got there. We were a little confused at what was going on with the menu, as they had the individual hot pots on one side of the menu, and another section in the back of the store near the where you choose your own toppings, and they make it for you in the back and calculate the cost based on weight.
We ended up going with the individual hot pots. You choose a base, the noodles, the meat and then the dipping sauce (2 free and $0.50 for each extra one you choose). Afterwards, you can add additional toppings for an extra price. I made the mistake not reading what they had in the "included toppings" section and ordered extra toppings that were already in the combo.... oops.
3 of us chose the "signature spicy soup base" and when it came, all of us regretted it. Despite only having two hot pepper symbol, it was extremely spicy, especially with all the peppercorn and chilies!! I know the name of the restaurant is "spicy mafia" but I still got caught off guard. Usually, I love super spicy food, but it was the tongue-numbing kind of spicy from Szechuan, which I did not like at all. The more the pot boiled, the more spicy it got, so all 3 of us ended up taking out all the chilies and peppercorn within 5 minutes of getting the soup, which helped in containing the spiciness. I cannot imagine what the "Exclusive spicy soup base" with four pepper symbols, so order with caution!!!!
Overall, all of us were super stuffed with just the basic included toppings with a lot left over. The price was just around $20 for a whole hot pot meal. The service was very fast and friendly as well, and the cool decor was just the cherry on top.
