Hotpot Queen reviews and discussion

These instant noodles from Hotpot Queen are a miss for me. They need to have the ingredients listed for those of us who need to watch their sodium intake. It's A LOT of sodium. over 2,300 mg's of it! I love tingling, spicy, robust flavors and that is here in abundance. I made this dish, took a few bites to taste and then passed the rest to a friend to finish (one with no dietary restrictions) They liked the flavor, but were not a fan of the oilier texture. This is most likely because we are not familiar with this noodle dish and the kind of oily texture associated with it. For newbies like us, it's a pass. Those of you familiar with this dish, will most likely have a different take-away.

This Crunchy Garlic Chili Sauce from Hotpot Queen is great when it comes to taste, sweetness, spiciness and texture. It was just what I was looking for to add an extra kick to my weekly dinner rotations. I have used it in stir fry’s, to marinate grilled chicken and steak, as a topper on tacos and hearty salads and have even used it as a dipping sauce for raw veggies. Absolutely love it! I just wish it were easier to find.

Got this for my girlfriend she likes spicy food and I do not and she loved it she tried the crunchy garlic chili crisp which has no MSG, vegan, zero preservatives, 1g sugar and only 120 calories per serving.

Assembly was a walk in the park with the easy-to-follow instructions, and I had my hotpot set up and raring to go in record time!

The bottle's clean, modern look is a perfect fit for my kitchen counter, adding a touch of sophistication.

The included instructions made assembly a breeze. I had my hotpot ready to go in no time.

What a fun experience this hotpot kit provides! It's perfect for a cozy night in with friends, and I love the flavors. We had a hotpot party last weekend, and it was a blast!

I tried the Mala Garlic Chili Crisp this time around. As a regular chili crisp enjoyer, like Lao Gan Ma, I was excited about to try it. I like that there’s lots of umami from all the dried mushroom and garlic. There’s some big pieces of chili that have a big kick. It’s definitely spicier than Lao Gan Ma, though this is by Hotpot Queen, and hotpot tends to be spicy. I don’t think it’s going to permanently replace my go-to chili crisp, however I’m happy to have it. I will say it way very difficult to find in my World Market location, and I almost was unable to find it even with assistance.

This bottle's chic, contemporary aesthetic is a stunning addition to my kitchen countertop!

For ~$13, you do get a decent-sized jar. However, it's quite spicy, so I don't even know how I'm going to finish the entire thing. I don't notice the mushroom flavor much compared to the spice. I use about 1/4 tablespoon and mix it with my hotpot sauce.

love their their wild mushroom chunky chili and sichuan triple chilli. They both have a nice kick and a lot of flavors! similar price point to fly by jing but I like the flavor profile of Hotpot Queen more. You get the spicyness, saltiness, sweetness all at once.
