   Incredible food, huge choice, amazing flavours. It is next door to a nightclub, so very loud on a Friday & Saturday night… but any other day of the week it’s a nice atmosphere, and incredible food Chongqing noodles were amazing - very spicy, mouth-numbing and incredible

   Went with a group of four and tried the two soup base options — spicy beef and chicken. The menu was interesting, with some unique items like pork uterus and mountain jellyfish. The pork dumplings were the standout: juicy and packed with flavour. Everything else was pretty average. A lot of the meat was quite fatty. The vibe inside was a bit off — very quiet with low-volume elevator music, and lots of random things celltaped to the walls. It ended up being pretty pricey at $130 for four people. Worth trying for the experience, but probably wouldn’t rush back.

   I came to the famous hot pot restaurant with my friends. My foreign friend tried hot pot for the first time! They like it very much! And he said he would come again next time! My favorite is Gongcai, which tastes very crisp and tastes very good! I will come again!

   Maybe we over ordered as well but overall for the price I felt the place could have a better ambience. It felt like a nice homely place but it wasn't cheap. The food was good for NZ, but compared to hot pots in Singpaore or Hong Kong it was just about average. The owner was friendly and service was fast, so you should go here, but just manage the quantity you order The noodles were great, we got the 2 pot soup (spicy peppercorn and chicken). So overall a good tasty dinner.

   If you're a fan of bold and fiery flavors, Chongqing Kitchen 川渝辣妹子 is an absolute treasure trove waiting to be discovered! As a spice enthusiast, my taste buds were in for a real treat as soon as I stepped foot into this vibrant eatery. From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for an unforgettable culinary adventure. The ambiance at Chongqing Kitchen is lively and reminiscent of the bustling streets of Chongqing, China. The restaurant exudes an authentic charm, and the friendly staff adds to the overall warmth of the place. As a solo diner, I was made to feel right at home. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the 芝麻牛肉 (sesame beef). Oh, what a revelation! Each succulent bite delivered an explosion of flavors that danced on my palate. The beef was tender and bathed in a tantalizing sauce that balanced the perfect blend of spices, savory notes, and a hint of sweetness from the sesame. I couldn't get enough of it!

   I had spicy beef noodles and asked for mild, but it was very very spicy I couldn’t even eat the food. Basically tears didn’t stop. It was bloody tasty and yum so good but spicy, they kindly offered me a free meal and not pay for anything. You’re one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever tried, I really appreciate your service and it means you care about your customers. I decided to get a noodles with beef no spicy this time lol :)

   Authentic Chongqing hotpot. Taste so good. Best hotpot restaurant in tall. Quite a few customers are pretty girls that Saturday night. A bit pricey but worth it.

   Average hotpot joint, however the forced dipping sauce charge ($5 per person, regardless if you have any) left a bad experience. When I queried the sauce charge, the gentleman used the analogy of how tea at Chinese restaurants also charge on a per head basis, but my response is: not if you don’t order tea in the first place… He also kindly explained that dipping sauces COMPLETES the hotpot experience, which almost made me question my 20+ years of hotpot experience across Asia, Europe and Oceania. Regrettably, this is the first time I been to an establishment that forces you to pay for something you explicitly decline to have (also first to offer chicken powder at its dipping station/trolley). If you must make sauces mandatory for whatever reason, I’d recommend building it into the cost of the soup bases, rather than have it as a separate option on the menu. If you feel like you have to ‘man’ your dipping sauce trolley, then you have the wrong attitude to customer service sir- treating all your diners as potential dipping sauce thieves

   So good. I’d like to say this is the best hot pot in Wellington. A little bit expensive. But never mind. The taste alway in the front. Pretty good customer service as well. Definitely will be back.
