How we read reviews →Carlton's dragon-themed Sichuan hot pot hall with a DIY sauce bar and genuinely mala broth.
A theatrical, high-energy Sichuan hot pot hall with an oversized dragon centrepiece and ornate booth dividers. reviewers compare the decor to a wuxia film set, complete with occasional live performances.
A build-your-own dipping sauce station with a recipe guide, split mandarin duck pots for mixing mild and mala broths, complimentary soft-serve ice cream, and a dragon photo spot at the entrance.
Widely praised by Mandarin-speaking reviewers as genuinely authentic Sichuan and Chongqing-style hot pot, with several noting the mala broth rivals what they've had in China.
Most reviewers call it fairly priced for the quality and free extras like ice cream and occasional lucky-dip beef, though a vocal minority say portions felt small and pricing steep on a bad-experience visit.
