思阁炭香火锅(学伟鑫城总店)

The waiter was incredibly attentive; seeing I was alone, he proactively asked about my preferences and recommended the signature plum ribs. He gently reminded me to be careful as the food was hot, and even promptly refilled my water. I was enveloped in this gentle care throughout the evening, feeling as relaxed as if I were dining at a friend's house.

This restaurant is right next to the subway station, super convenient! I brought my parents here and they were so happy, saying it tasted just like their old favorite. The braised pork was amazing, stewed until incredibly tender; my dad almost ate the whole plate by himself, haha. The price was reasonable too; three of us ate our fill for just over 200 yuan. I'll definitely come again! 😋

I tried the charcoal hot pot here before, and the lamb was indeed tender and juicy. I suggest that when you order it, don't rush to cook it; let it simmer in the clear broth for about ten seconds first, that's the right texture. The tofu soup was also pretty good, quite flavorful.
