| - If I were a girl, and was into decorating my cellphone with things like Hello Kitty accessories, and bedazzling everything I own, then I would certainly consider this place to be upscale, and very "cute."
But I'm not, I'm a 6 foot 1, 200+ pound Chinese who enjoys cigars, fine wine, and Opera...so let the review begin.
Made in China Hotpot is.......a kinda upscale and cute place -_-
It looks like a sushi restaurant, it just feels that one should be eating sushi here. It's not very Japanese, but I never seen such a meticulously decorated restaurant for hotpot, as hotpot is messy business. Even the trays which the food comes in looked like sashimi platters. The place was clean, and the seating was intimate. So I was worried on how much I'd end up paying for a place like this.
I came here with about fifteen second-year UTSC students, so entertaining a crowd was a piece of cake, and damn did I ever put these kids to work..I didn't cook a single thing. The spices are secured in a metal ball, so it doesn't end up in your food when scooping it into your bowl, this was clever. I think I had the largest party there, but despite being sat across a long table, we were all able to converse rather comfortably with one another.
You had a choice how to personalize your sauces, but I was busy hitting on the girls sat around me. I'm not usually the oldest person in a crowd, but being cultured has it's perks in a situation like this. I don't think anyone else has made hotpot history more interesting than I. Maybe it's my deep raspy voice..or my throaty laugh......
You can order anything here, fish balls, chicken wings, honestly anything. They all taste very good from the sauces. It's all reasonably priced. I'm content.
Made in China, with Pride baby!
