Sizzling Pot King

This is different my favorite Taiwanese hot pot place in Chicago. They have so many different flavors and combinations. My all time favorite is definitely their spicy Taiwanese pot. They have really good snack too, and their lamb skewers are very delicious and definitely a must to get! But their snacks are kind of over priced comparing with their skewer places in Chinatown. I also got their champagne milk tea however it wasn't really my favorite milk team at all times. Their other drinks can be a little too sweet for my taste!

Ok so this was my third or fourth time to visit here ever since I was introduced to this place by my Taiwanese friends. The food here is amazing and I just love their hot pot preparations and some other dishes like the ‘crouching tiger chillies’ and ‘eggplant and aged eggs’ and a few other. If you like spicy food and are open to try new cuisines - this is a must visit for you! Not a fancy ambiance and they don’t serve alcohol. We got a 6 pack of chinese beer from the H mart just across the street because they allow outside drinks. Sizzling pot King is My personal favorite place in chicago.

Everything was tasty, once it all arrived. We were seated at a booth, and the server not only adjusted the table but moved the booth seat as well to make for a more comfortable seating spot for us all. Sterno under the sizzling pot was getting wildly out of control - a lid to slide over it would be a great addition, as we had to call for a server to come and extinguish it (with a plate, but one must remove sizzling pot from stand first). We ordered garlic flavor and mild spice level, and at least six chili peppers as well as jalapeño slices were in the pot (making it much too spicy for our daughter), although really tasty. If you normally want mild spice, you may want to ask for no spice here. [Having said this, it is terrific that the staff at Sizzling Pot don't make the kind of judgments that I have experienced at many restaurants that change their level of spice with the assumption that someone from a different cultural background can't handle the spice palette of their food.] It was a delicious dinner. I didn't try the pot stickers, but my family raved that they were worth the wait for them.

Great value. Serving size was big. For the sizzling pot, a medium size is more than enough for two of us. Leftover was taken for another meal. Taste is good and authentic. They also offer Hunan style food and they seem good too. I will try them next time. Get their beef tongue pot or bull frog pot if you can. Those are among the most popular items ordered. I will recommend this establishment.

A gem of a place. Delicious authentic flavors. We had the medium sized medium spicy hot pot with beef tongue. Added black fungi as extra. Accompanied with steamed rice. It was plenty for 2 people with left overs. If you are not fond of the mouth numbing flavor of Schezwan peppers let them know. We're going to be going back there often to try the other Hunan dishes. Excellent food and very attentive and pleasant service.
