This location is best for those two dishes as well as the more personal service! The Richmnd one doesn't do these 2 dishes justice. Although the spicy crab comes recommended by the very enthusiastic & friendly multilingual & dialect host, it's not anything memorable, so it's definitely not worth the pricetag nor the workout. For a really good one, go to Tropica for the Sambal crab. Avoid the soups (not the hotpot soup bases, but the ready-to-serve ones), especially the fish head one. Absolutely not worth the price nor the taste.

With the right orders, the food can be absolutely outstanding. Literally translated as "saliva chicken", it really does make you salivate w/each bite. Be sure to take the spoon & fork and start mixing/tossing the bed of greens & sauce/oil over the chicken & cover each piece w/some of that tantilizing sauce before serving. You won't regret it! As for the pork belly that's served dangling from a wooden display, pull off a strip along w/the cucumber underneath then dip into the special sauce then feast away! Much tastier than the one served by Szechuan on Saba Rd, Richmond. It's soooo good! You can almost forget every bite is more fat to clot your arteries!

Go for the hotpot along w/2-3 dishes a la carte to enjoy. The seafood provided is quite fresh. The live prawns are sweet! Whenever they have geoduck in stock/seasonal, that's another good addition to your meal!

Top all this off w/glass after glass of free refillable plum juice that's on the house! It's generally the drink of choice to go along w/Chinese hotpot/bbq meals to alleviate some of the heat & fried/bbq'd foods you end up consuming. If that's not to your liking, you can always order some beer to go along with your meal.

If you prefer more a la carte choices, try out the newer Richmond location that's attached to the Tom Lee store, sharing the same parkade--however, that one serves up some dishes lacking in flavour...
