Sizzling Gourmet

Good place for sizzling hot pot.

Pro:
Great flavor! (hot & numbing, medium spicy)
Stem lettuce is crispy with rich flavor in the broth, recommend! ✅✅✅
One medium size with some choices of veggies will be well enough for 2.
Con:
Shrimp is not very fresh, would suggest choosing other protein.

Love love love this place. First time here, didn't really know what to order so the sever suggested his recommendations and spice levels and all that. Came out really good and enjoyable. Next few times I've tried different options and same as last time, delicious. Only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because the lack of cashiers knowledge on properly splitting the tabs with different cards. But still delicious.

We have been dining at the gourmet almost every weekend and each time the quantity, quality, service and taste is truly sizzling. This is one of the few restaurants in my world deserving of a rating beyond ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I took the most recent picture too late but here it is to show how full we are and the amount of leftovers at less than $30 for two people.

This place specializes in "sizzling hot pot" or 麻辣香锅, a type of dry hot pot loaded with ingredients. There are also cold appetizers and stir-fry dishes.

To order the sizzling hot pot, you choose 1 protein with the base sauce (spicy, numbing spicy 麻辣, garlic, etc.) and the spicy level for $23.99. All that also come with broccoli, cauliflower, potato and bean sprouts.
We ordered lamb with bamboo 莴笋 and spam (additional cost), numbing spicy, and spicy (third from the top) - 3 stars

The star of the meal was the Pepper and Eggplant with Preserved Egf 皮蛋 (4.5 stars!) It came in a wooden tub and had such good flavors - highly recommend.

Overall, the portion for the sizzling hotpot was big. One protein option was enough for 3-4 people. If you have large group that love spicy food, this place is a good option for get-together. Also, service was surprisingly good for a Chinese restaurant (low standards am I right?!)
