"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."
