  Very tasty and authentic dry pot, but sometimes the meat is a little questionable. Spicy means SPICY 🔥

  The food here is great and the five star rating is built solely on that premise. The restaurant itself caters to a very specific audience and it's pretty obvious as soon as you walk in, but don't let that stop you! In any case, let's just focus on the food. Sizzling Pot King is a dry pot restaurant. Dry pot is one of those delightful Chinese traditions you just don't see enough of, and in a city that's hurting for strong Szechuan options, definitely welcome. I'm going to be upfront here and say if you don't consider yourself an adventurous eater, you'll definitely be missing out on some of the tastiest flavor combos if you order from here. Anyway, the premise of dry pot is you pick a flavor base (e.g. garlic, spicy & hot, hot & sour etc.) for the pot and then choose a protein and various mix-ins to toss in the base. The restaurant tosses the ingredients together over high heat and then brings it to the table where it's kept hot by one of those lit gel cans you typically see under budget trays. My go-to order is a mala flavor base (spicy & hot if you don't feel like practicing your Mandarin - if you're not sure what to order, I can't recommend it enough: it's super fragrant and a hallmark flavor of Szechuan cosine), medium spice level, with beef tongue as the protein and lotus roots, wide vermicelli, and enoki mushrooms as the mix ins. It's consistently stellar from a texture and flavor perspective. I also want to mention that this place also does an excellent sliced pig ear. Which, again, if you're not an adventurous eater, you're absolutely missing out on. Last thing I want to mention: this place really is not a good place to eat alone. Smallest size available outside of lunch hours easily feeds to people, maybe three. Bring a friend! Tl;dr SPK does an excellent job of filling a niche and is fuerdai/five.

  Great dry hot pot, not great for eating alone (unless you want leftovers)

  Just okay for sizzling pot. Not very spice. Not bad but not great.

  I went this restaurant in past continual three days. It's really good dry pot with various choices. There is a spicy level call "extremely spicy" not on the menu, but you can order. There are also some special meats you can choose, for example, snails, rabbit. and bullfrog.
