Chef Pin - Vancouver, British Columbia

They give you a hand-written heart warming note, which is very nice. They also give you orange slices and mandarin that was already washed. The food could be more flavourful, if you ask for slightly spicy 微辣, there is almost no spice at all. The dried ribs dish only has ... ribs and celery, you will need to pay extra to have more ingredients. And you likely will need to add more. The food is 3 stars, but their service earns them 4.

This place was so good for their Sichuan mala dry pots! The pricing is pretty good too. I would always see this place driving down Kingsway, so I decided to try it out. You can pick the spice level and choose extra add ons as well. My server was super ... cute and friendly too! I definitely want to go back next time and try the shrimp. Read more

The boyfriend and I decided to give this restaurant a try after driving pass it a couple of times. We arrived at about 5:30 PM and got seated right away. The waitresses were super friendly and courteous. After reviewing the menu, we ended up ordering the dry crab pot, ... (which was about $44) and to that we added rice cake, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and squid. We also ordered the chilled cucumber and spicy sauced chicken heart and liver. I would highly recommend ordering the chilled cucumber as it refreshes your mouth from the spiciness of the pot. Overall I would give it a 4.5 out of 5. The only downside was that I wished they had an option to add noodles to the pot. Can't wait to go back and give the other pots a try! Read more

Flavors were good. Go early if you want a seat. It started getting busy around 5:45 PM. The only issue was weirder before in our post and we only got a couple of slices. 3 us finished the dishes I posted easily.

Their hot pot is amazing! A big fan of spice, for once I found something that satisfies my craving for spicy food. We only ordered the mild level since my friend couldn't take much spice. But even then, it's still so delicious. We ordered their lobster hot pot and the ... bill came to ~$60 for 2. As other people have mentioned, come early since the place is really small and fills up quickly. The service is fast and efficient though. Read more
