Shancheng Lameizi Hot Pot

This is one of the most authentic Chungking hot pots in the area. Extremely popular and always crowded while at the meal point. We visited there early to avoid waiting. There was a buffet bar that served traditional Chinese snacks. We ordered a half & half pot with mild spicy and tomatoes, which we would recommend this combination if it was your first time trying Chinese hot pot. The environment was super clean and well decorated with stylized Chinese elements. Angus Beef and Fresh Beef were the dishes we would recommend most when ordering ingredients for the hot pot. They were both luscious and fresh. With sesame oil and garlic, which we got from the sauce bar, it was such an enjoyment. Parking here was free!!

Please don't come to this place for your own health. There are three of us went there last night, and after we finish , all of us got food poisoning. Me and my other friend is having really bad diarrhea after the meal. I don't usually put bad reviews, but I would give them zero stars if I could. Please be aware!!! There are so many other good hot pot place, it's not worth your health over this disgusting food. Never ever gonna come back to this place.

Went here on Monday 2pm, didn’t have to wait for seating hehe. We ordered a half & half pot with mild spicy. And we also ordered Fried Tofu Skin ($4.95), Pork Intestine ($6.95), Handmade Yam Pasta ($4.95), Angus Beef ($11.98), Fresh Beef ($7.95), Pork Blood ($4.95), Quail Egg ($4.95), Chinese Cabbage ($2.95), Spinach ($2.95), Lotus Root ($4.95), Sweet Corn ($2.95), Enoki Mushroom ($4.95). Really satisfied with most of these food, especially the Fried Tofu Skin, Lotus Root and Sweet Corn! And the Fresh Beef was not expensive but had high quality.😭❤️ However, the flavors of Angus Beef and Pork Blood weren’t as our expectations.☹️ Both spicy and bone soup pots were amazing, and the veggies were fresh and delicious cooked with the bone soup! There’re also multiple choices for sauces and free Chinese snacks.💕 Love this restaurant and will definitely come here again!

Must try if you like spicy hot pot. I normally eat a lot of spicy but the small spicy was already very "sweaty" spicy for me. Long wait on the weekends (up to 2 hours), they do take Yelp reservations so do that if you want to go there during busy hours. There are a lot of different sauce & ingredients to choose and go with the hot pot. First time ever I've seen a restaurant to have a bottle of MSG available (if you dare choose). We ordered the half/half with spicy & tomato soup base. Good food and worth the wait.
