Recommended by a foodie co-worker, this place serves 酸菜白肉鍋 and real tasty pot stickers.This place is extremely busy, so reservation strongly recommended even on a week night.
I must say that their 酸菜白肉鍋 is served the northern chinese way - in a metal pot with a central tall cylinder where burning charcoal is used to boil the broth. Broth is excellent.
The pot stickers are always quite unique. Unlike most fillings where it is a combination of meat & cabbage, this pot sticker is mostly meat - soft & juicy. In addition, I learned that the real northern chinese way of eating dumplings is with fresh whole garlic. I've never been to a restaurant that offered bowls of complimentary full garlic. Quite an interesting combination, but I probably wouldn't want to talk to people after this meal, haha.
The stir-fry cabbage that we ordered was a "special-made" dish. We asked them to stir-fry it with the Kung Pao chicken sauce. Tasty as well.
Overall, it is not a pricey meal compared to "restaurant-style" places. However, it does fall within a slightly higher end of the dumpling range (typically dumplings are at NTD$10/pc. This place is NTD$11/pc), but I would still say that just the hot pot is worth the visit.
