I purchased a groupon for this restaurant and decided to try it out with my family. please note that if it was not for the groupon, we probably would not have heard about this place or tried it. I purchased the voucher on August 13, 2017 and went with my family for dinner on August 15, 2017. The voucher was valid until February 2018 but the restaurant would not accept it. The restaurant claimed that groupon continued to advertise the voucher beyond the contract date with the restaurant and that is why they can’t accept it. The restaurant made us pay for the full meal price even though we had a valid voucher.We felt cheated and mislead. I think that this was a stupid business mistake on their part as it really ticked us off and we would not return to this restaurant because of this false advertisement. They should have just accepted the voucher and solved their problems with groupon folks separately and left customers out of it.The dinning experience was good. The food was good if you like hot pot idea. They have a good menu selection and the service was great up to the point of paying our bill. This was not pleasant. The restaurant’s owner just successfully turned away potential regular customers for a discount of $18.Bottom line is we are not going back as we felt fooled by the wrong advertisement.Groupon was nice about this and issued a full refund.
It was my first time eating at Chili Hot Pot. I had the lamb broth which was extremely spicy. I wasn’t a huge fan of it but if you like spicy food then you might enjoy it. My friend had the chicken wine broth, which was really good, slightly on the sweet side though. There was a lot of different meats to choose from. The dumplings were really tasty and full of flavour. They didn’t have a lot to choose from for vegetables. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful!There were a couple things that I found odd:1) Instead of putting in more broth, they’d add in hot water into your existing broth.2) The sign outside the building stated that it was 20% off after 9pm. But I heard a worker say on the phone to a customer that it was 10% off after 9pm. However, we were there between 10-11pm and we still got charged full price.The orders are quite large so order with caution!
Great service and pretty tasty hot pot but the place is too small for me. I like that they have the split pots so that I can have more choice with soups, there’s also tons of variety on the menu which is great. However, the atmosphere itself was too crowded and hot for me.. I felt uncomfortable eating. If I were to come back, it would definitely have to be during a time where it’s less busy. There is also a lack of parking so it’d be a good idea to plan ahead. eatwithshar0n.com
had a chance to come eat here with some friends. the food was fresh and love their wide selection of the soups they have i just felt it was a bit stuffy in there and kinda cramped but was a good experience.
I have only been here once and I really liked it. Its a smaller place so it’s pretty crowded. The thing that stands out to me about this place is their drinks – more options compared to other hotpot places and the lemon tea seems to be everyone’s favourite. Service is prompt and they’re quite nice which is uncommon for a hotpot place so it’s nice to see. It looks like you get a late night discount so I’m interested in going back for that. The downside is this place is inconvenient for me because it’s in the southside! I wish they’d open another location in chinatown or somewhere more central.
Really enjoy coming to Chili Hot Pot. They have many things on their menu such as appetizers that’s included in the all you can eat. They have a wall of multiple sauces you can mix together. The hot pot menu has many things over hot pot places don’t carry. The lady working is always friendly and gives recommendations. The desert is also delicious and homemade. Last time we had a coconut cantaloupe jello. It’s a smaller restaurant and gets warm quick due to the steam from the soups. The nice thing is they give out coupons for you to come again and after 9-10pm I believe you get an extra 10-20% off your bill.
After 9, Chili Hot Pot has an awesome 20% off discount and its all you can eat! Located right across the street from Strathcona High School, be sure to keep an eye for it when driving by as it can easily be missed. Actually. head there early too. The parallel parking in front of the restaurant is limited and can fill up fast.When we first entered the cozy restaurant, we noticed everyone and I mean everyone in the restaurant had these lemon mason jar drinks on their table. We hesitated to follow at first due to the high price but once we saw photos of the drink on the wall, right behind us, we had to try it. It is a must have! My friends and I ended up ordering a pitcher of both the lemon iced tea and lemon iced soda.Chili Hot Pot has a wide range of soup bases to pick from. 18 to be exact. I picked pork with apple slices, it seemed unique and tasty (from all the photos I saw online before going). Upon receiving it, the abundance of apples took up a lot of room in my pot and consequently I couldnt hoard food. I was quite hungry and I wanted to stuff my pot with food. Overall, the soup base was flavorsome and I ended up taking out some apple slices in favor for more food. The sauce bar was located in an awkward spot of the restaurant but has a comparable or the exact same collection as any hot pot restaurant.They had a great selection of both pre-cooked and raw food, particularly my girlfriend loved their selection of seafood as it is a bigger selection than most places. The service was fast and for the most part, accurate. The staff cleared our finished plates attentively and quickly and returned also quickly with more food.After our food, the mango and cappuccino desert (both separate) was a nice touch to ending a great meal. I would definitely come back and recommend Chili Hot Pot to anyone, especially if you are hungry past 9.
