TGIF @Chili Hot Pot
TGIF, especially after 9:00 PM…
After 9, Chili Hot Pot has an awesome 20% off discount and it’s 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 couldn’t 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.
