Sichuan Hot Pot

Kirin Hot Pot

Kirin Hot Pot offers the Sichuan Hot Pot experience, with good service and variety of ingredients. Though not all the ingredients were appetizing or appealing to my Western taste, they seemed in good quantity and taste to my Chinese dinner companions, who recommended this place for a dinner gathering. Watch out for the Sichuan peppercorn, which produces a rather odd tingling, lip and tongue-numbing experience! A unique and interesting sensation to be sure, but just a little taste on the top of your tongue will do you, lick your lips and Oh My!
