I can't stop thinking about their food. The flavors, the spiciness, the delicious clear, non-gummy sauce of the sizzling pot. And the Wuhan hot dry noodles are amazing both hot or cold. There's a freshness and vibrancy to the dishes that I love.
We ordered the garlic flavor, spice level very spicy. It's been so hard for me to get real heat in Chinese food, but this place does it. That level won't burn your face off (if you truly like spicy food) but it did build up fast in the back of my throat.
There's so much more on the menu that we haven't tried, if everything is as good as the sizzling pot and the noodles, this will be our favorite place.
I loved this place! We definitely expected the food to be more standard Americanized Chinese food, but once we stepped inside our server G was incredibly helpful explaining the food at the restaurant. We ordered a garlic chicken pot with noodles and we're immediately in love with how delicious everything was. We didn't expect to eat everything but we couldn't stop even when our faces were red from the spice. 5/5!
Very delicious and authentic northern style Chinese cuisine. I would come back to try more dishes. Just a warning... Medium spicy is quite spicy. I thought it was perfect for me but my friends wished they went for mild for the dry sizzling hot pot sauce.
While on a business trip, visited a friend and took them here cause I liked the one back home. The food was good, portion size was good. Although in my opinion I think the one in San Francisco makes it spicier. Overall the consistency between restaurant is pretty good.
The most authentic spicy Chinese food in Chicago! Seriously! I was really thrilled when I saw the menu and it made me feel like I was in China again. The spice is super on point and other than the spicy hot pot, other dishes are pretty good too. I’m so glad I found this place. Will definitely bring more friends here in the future.
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.
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.
Delicious stir fry bowls with a variety of meats, seafood, tofus and veggies.
Go for the spicy & hot sauce as it includes the numbing spice.
The pumpkin cakes are a specialty and a nice cooling touch before and after the spicy food.
Authentic Chinese food in west loop! Great flavor and generous portion. Will return to try more items next time.
Great staff. The hot dry noodles are a must try. BYOB too!
Taste very good. Traditional real chinese pot. Recommend to everyone, good service, very clean.
Very authentic Chinese food! The best spicy hot pot in town!
