Hao Szechuan - Northbridge

I’ve been addicted to Szechuan food for the last year or so and this place has been my go-to place whenever I’m craving Szechuan food. Ok, I admit there’s some ups and downs, but I still haven’t found a better place just yet. Always recommend their dishes over their hotpot!

It was a cold and rainy night and we wanted something warm and spicy. Decided to check out this place and it did not disappoint! Had the pot half mild spicy and half mushroom and ordered a variety of meats, veg and tofu. Delicious meal but really it’s hard to go wrong with hot pot. This place also does other noodle dishes and I can’t wait to be back to try them

Had hot pot here last friday. Both soup bases we tried were excellent. I really liked them and want to try the others they have. We got half spicy/half Tomato. Portions are  very good. The seasonings available were vast but I wish they had a neutral oil on offer  then seasame or chilli like corn oil. The coriander/garlic could be  fresher to be honest. I also think the hot pot options are a little unexciting personally. Needs more lung, aorta and stuff like that i.e more offal but what was on offer was good quality and thoroughly enjoyed! Definitely can't wait to go back.

Oh my god. This is the place for hot pot night. Coming here it's a little foreign despite the decor. So ordering things is a bit harder to understand. When you get there you inform the staff you're here for hotpot. They'll give you a sheet where you pick what broth you would like and what meat, vegetables, meatballs etc. you want. You can literally order anything for your hotpot. If you're unsure about portions I can tell you now do not worry. You get SO much. We got the quail eggs expecting 5 or so I'm pretty sure there was approximately 20. It looks expensive but the value is amazing. The broths are great I recommend the tomato base and they constantly refill it for you through out the night. As for service, there is a button on your table like Papparich to call the waiters and you can also regulate the temperature of the hot plate yourself as well. Me and my friends were so happy with the experience. This is our go to place for hotpot now!

This being my first Hot Pot experience i was so eager to try it and I thought it was just awesome. The service was good but I was very confused about how to order and what I was allowed to order/pick up from the sauce bar which came down to the servers not explaining everything but that wasn't a put off since me and my boyfriend got more than we were expecting. We order the spicy and mushroom broth which were delicious but warning! only order the spicy if you aren't afraid or just love a really really hot, peppery and fire fuelled broth. The mushroom broth was absolutely delicious and I fell in love with all these mushrooms I had never tried before. Everything came in big quantities but hey it is hot pot (it's meant to be a communal meal and even though we were sickly full afterwards we both loved our experience here. Next time I come back I'll be sure to pick the mini hot pot option instead :
