After I finished my hot pot soup meal, I was served with a Big Way Hot Pot 大味锅物料理 Matcha Ice Cream Cone. Its free and is included with your meal purchase. The matcha ice cream had a lot of matcha green tea flavour and was really soft. The cone taste pretty good too as it was crispy.
Overall, the soups are pretty good and they had a good selection of raw ingredients to choose from. It feels more like a fast causal restaurant with some restaurant service. It doesn’t feel like a full service restaurant as you have to pay first. However, they do have waiters that help bring out your water and hot pot soup.
There’s usually a lineup at this restaurant as its quite popular. Make sure to scan the virtual lineup QR code at the restaurant so that you can lineup virtually. There’s not a lot of space inside the restaurant for you to wait. If its on a cold and rainy day, it might be best to wait in your car and then walk over when its almost your turn.
I like how you can choose how much food you want depending on how hungry you are that day.
