Hualien City, Hualien County｜鬼椒麻辣王花蓮旗艦店 Oni Hot Pot

We regret not coming here sooner! We got the 660 option, and were glad we did - the meat was more solid than we expected, and my partner thought the seafood was pretty good here. He especially enjoyed the scallops! Since I'm not a seafood person, I ate meat instead, and enjoyed the M8 wagyu (but take hot pot wagyu for what it is!). We used Google translate to communicate, but service was pretty good for a mostly self-serve hot pot place. We were offered broth refills often, and they took away our meat dishes from time to time. It seems to get pretty busy, but since you self-serve some meat, veggies, fish balls, seafood, rice, instant noodles, cold and hot drinks, beer, and various desserts (including a bunch of ice cream flavors - our favorites being the Swiss chocolate and vanilla), you can definitely get your fill. We tried the spicy broth at medium, which was initially wayy too spicy, but our server was nice enough to add a clear broth, which made it perfect. The tom yum broth was ok, but not Thailand-good. We ate both! Note: The veggies tongs are a little questionable since they're near the seafood and raw meat/fish balls, so make sure to get everything boiled well. I believe they also have a 10% cleaning fee, so don't be caught off guard!

great hotpot buffet with a nice selection of spicy and non-spicy soups, and all the offerings are fresh and tasty

All u can eat to all u can drink. I like the beer, and the ice cream. Come n enjoy, u r gonna have a fun time!!!!!!!
