Hipot Hot Pot Restaurant 稻香 review

Hipot Hot Pot Restaurant 稻香

Location: 350 Hwy 7 E, Richmond Hill (right next to Saigon Star 西貢星 & HSBC)
Phone: (905) 709 1188
Price: Weekdays (Mondays - Thursdays) $17.95 // Weekends (Fridays - Sundays) & Holidays $19.95
(including 1 glass of suan mei tang (sour prune drink) 酸梅湯 +AND+ 1 dessert - tortoise jelly 龜苓膏 // egg pudding 燉蛋 // mango pudding 芒果布甸)
Menu:
Friends suggested to come to this HIPOT. I have been to this HIPOT for a few times. It's Ok..
The beef slice "所謂的肥牛但一點都唔肥" - not fatty enough..

Environment:
- I HATE finding a parking spot there. The parking lot is so small and always packed. (that is one of my reason that I don't like to come here!)
- The restaurant is pretty spacious, NOT as tight as the other hot pot places which they put tables side by side, so close & feel so tight.

Food:
- it's so-so.. =/
- the beef slice 牛肉片 are not fatty enough.. 好老好瘦.. =(
- I LOVE the lamb slice 羊肉片 & lamb balls 羊肉丸! Must try! =)
- they have quite a large selection. not bad.

Service:
- missed our orders A LOT OF TIMES (we ordered the lamb balls 羊肉丸 at least 4 times with 4 different people and the balls never came, and the other orders too.. keep missing our orders..)

  1. The non fatty beef slice isn't good at all. I can see from your photos. Last 2 times I ate during weekend the fatty beef was very good like a marble. Did u go during weekday

  2. 其實佢地唔係漏咗柯打, 只不過呢個係佢地常用嘅方法去管制食物數量, 管制原因係因為佢地已經唔夠貨, 唔想比咁多你, 同埋有啲嘢特別貴, 比一兩個 round 你之後就話漏單, 你落單之後等等吓就唔記得咗, 又或者叫咗另外一樣嘢.

    佢地用瘦牛代替肥牛; 我覺得有被騙嘅感覺, 雖然肥牛肉唔係塊塊一樣肥, 但瘦到一啲肥都冇就擺明搵笨. 從另外一個角度去睇; 如果佢地落柯打入貨, 比肥牛價錢肉食商, 人地交瘦牛嚟; 佢地會唔會唔收貨?

    1. 生意難做,好多任食都係出呢招,雖然並不認同,但廚房都係依上頭指示,若客人發難受罪嘅係企枱,大家若果明白就唔會太唔開心。

    3. 我估如果佢淨係不停漏羊肉丸我都算. 好似你話, 可能無咩數量, 但係都唔好漏好多好多樣野啊嘛=.=""

    4. I don’t mind if people order 5 same dishes and come back with less dishes in order not to waste food. At least I can continue eating. But dropping the order is unacceptable, 重係漏好多好多樣野. It seems like food quality is degraded, especially fatty beef and missing order, ah… should think again whether to go back. Its fatty beef is the dish that beats the other hot pot restaurants. 可惜可惜. 最重要食得開心, 你話係唔係

    7. 金稻唔係稻香嗰個級數, 好似 Frank 話, 啲嘢冇咁企理, 但價錢平, 唔同價錢唔同級數, 視乎妳想享受乜嘢. 我自從上次去過之後就除咗牌, 我對衛生要求比較嚴格, 唔可以接受一碟西洋菜有幾條菜蟲, 雖然食唔死; 但我覺得好嘔心.

    8. 比起其他HOTPOT我比較少去金稻, 但係唔知點解佢成日都超級多人=.=""" 我又唔覺得特別好食...
      對啊, 真係好悶熱啊入面..

    9. Dan,西洋菜附送菜蟲條明益你啦,你肯定未食過禾蟲否則就唔會咁驚,啲菜蟲係食菜大嘅就算食埋都只會增加蛋白質,就好似田鼠係食禾大嘅唔同坑渠老鼠,所以田鼠一樣可以食重好有營養添,菜有菜蟲即係話啲菜好少甚至無農藥係好現像,只要唔好用嘔心角度去睇就無問題嘞,嘔心極有可能只是心理作用。哈哈!

    10. MJ 唔好咁老定, 有菜蟲唔=菜冇農藥, 可能菜蟲已變種, 變成有抗藥性, 連胃酸都殺佢地唔死, 後果嚴重. 我當時冇即刻叫侍應過嚟投訴, 我知佢地會同你咁講, 有菜蟲即是冇農藥, 而且不另收費.

    12. Dan哥,昨晚又到金稻,今次西洋菜非常靚,無菜蟲送,金稻仍然超爆棚,海鮮火煱 $20.99、肥牛火煱 $18.99 加10%, 食物、服務還可以,但地方一次殘過一次,天花變色,吊燈掛哂塵,沙化甩皮。

    13. MJ兄你唔好彩喇, 冇菜蟲送, 不過我肯定唔會去幫襯, 大把地方可以去食, 唔想受人氣.

      有冇去過隔離幾間嘅"巴峇(Bali)"餐廳? 食過一次; 朋友介紹, 唔錯; 不過份量超細, 最啱長者去食, 肯定唔會嘥料.

  3. Parking is always a problem there (黃金商場), especially on weekends!

    1. That's called 黃金商場?? I thought 黃金商場 is the one next to it (the saigon star, hsbc one)
      I think the parking at HIPOT is EVEN WORST than 黃金商場!

    2. 而家黃金有咁旺啦, 多謝出面掘爛地, 噚日去龍島買麭, 發覺居然有鋪出租, 睇見成個場好似好冷清咁.

    3. 黃金冇以前咁旺啦, 噚日去龍島買麭; 居然見到有多過一間鋪出租, 個場好似好冷清.

    4. 龍島D包好無食架??

    5. 個人意見, 龍島嘅麭好過隔離嗰間, 價錢貴少少, 而且奶茶都好啲.

  4. 講真而家稻香搬咗去邊度都唔知, 呢間嘢成日換地方, 印象中記得曾經响 Time士, 後來搬咗去金貿, 而家又去咗黃金? 噚日先去過黃金龍島買麭都唔留意到有稻香, 唉, 我太out喇, 好少幫襯佢.

    噚晚去咗 High Tech Road 嗰間日韓料理, 唔錯. 冇食魚生, 專攻韓食, 算過得去, 價錢合理, 又有免費小食(唔係前菜).

    1. - 唔係係正黃金, 係係黃金隔離個plaza. 係正HSBC揸去對面既入口就係!
      - 有無去過14街+kennedy既龍島? 我好中意去食佢地個東菇滑雞飯 (加佢地既甜鼓油)!
      - 間日韓料理叫咩名啊?

    2. 嗰間日韓料理叫 Kaori, 30 High Tech Road; 喺 Silver City 馬路對面. 妳可以上網睇吓其他人寫關於呢間 restaurent 嘅報告. 呢間餐館啱我, 因為我唔會去 AYCE, 因為唔食得咁多.
