I just found this spot! Suprised nobody ever mentioned it to me. I have been here twice . Both times I ordered carry out. The first time, I ordered the house chicken and fried rice. The fried rice had some spam in it. Not my thing... The chicken was spiced correctly and tasted amazing. The second time was on a Saturday. It was so crowded. They messed up the order and the chicken wasn't as crispy. I will probably go back again, but will avoid Saturdays.

We found out about this restaurant through the owner's TikTok videos and wow does he not disappoint! It's such as beautiful restaurant with fantastic food!! Though it's not all you can eat, they do not skimp out on portions at all, so in the end we're paying nearly as much as we normally would at AYCE hotpots and be just as (if not more) full when we left! Unless you have a large group, it better to order a la cart than the packages lol. The staff are so professional and friendly, and I love the side tables they provide for hot pot ingredients. Highly recommend!

The place is less trendy, however more authentic, aesthetically, I would say. The staff was helpful, attentive, and friendly. As I have now had hotpot a few times, I appreciate how much room each table has here. I went to a competitor's place and found there was simply no room. Space is very important with all the ingredients for the soup plus how much room is needed for the large pot. I appreciate that they prioritized the experience to accommodate large tables over more tables and less space to maximize profit, as was the competitors' approach. That really added to the experience more than some gimmicky decor. The food was all very fresh, nothing frozen, as was my previous experience at the competitors. We tried the spicy vegetables and the chicken soup base. Both broths were deep in color (no water downed base here) and rich in taste. They were both nicely flavored and delicious . They had so many options, from meat to vegetables, so this would be a great spot for vegetarians as well. The price was very reasonable, and they let you take home any unused ingredients. I appreciate that as I hate to waste food and when doing the Hotpot experience it can be tricky to gauge how much you will eat. We also ordered some bubble tea from there, and it was really yummy. Overall, it was a great experience

WOW - blown away by great service, fun and lively ambiance, and excellent hot pot. First off, they are very busy, so expect to wait a bit after checking into the wait-list. We came on a Friday evening around 5PM, and only had to wait about half an hour, but the wait seemed much longer around prime dinner time. The person checked people in on the iPad and was actively managing the wait-list, so it seemed to run efficiently. They have an extensive menu, but they also offer combo deals so you don't have to choose yourself. We got the original bone broth, with sliced and marinated beef, and the veggie platter. The broth was so flavorful (without being overly salty), and was great to sip since it was a cold day outside. The beef and vegetables were fresh and plentiful. To dip your food in, they have a full sauce bar with your standard sauces like sesame, sa-cha, peanut, soy sauce, oils, hot sauce, peanuts, garlic, etc. which you can fill to your hearts content. Our server was friendly and attentive, helping to provide suggestions and refills as needed. The best hot pot experience and left full and satisfied. A must try when you're in the area!

Extremely friendly staff, beautiful decor, great smells and even better food! I eat here with my partner or alone usually 1-2 times per week. While not all you can eat, this is THE BEST hotpot restaurant in the triangle. When you walk in the aroma of spice and soup greets you immediately. It can be a bit chaotic to get on the wait list if it's your first visit- but it is worth the momentary chaos and the wait for your table. The menu is huge and the waitstaff is great at explaining the hot pot process and can make suggestions on what to order. I cannot recommend Szechuan Mansion enough!

The food came out quickly. The service made sure we always had a full cup of water (with lemon, yum) which was great because the broth (beef tallow) was so spicy but so tasty. Definitely recommend getting fried pork belly appetizer (it's to die for). Expect a bit of a wait especially on weekends.

Was visiting North Carolina for a weekend trip and found ourselves craving hot pot. This place had some pretty good reviews and man did the food live up to the expectation! The sauce bar is pretty extensive with fresh ingredients, a variety of sauces and oils. Really brings out the potion making skills in you. First, we chose our pot size of Yin-Yang where you get to pick two soup flavors. Next, we chose our broth flavors and spice levels of the Beef Tallow Mala at Medium Spice Level and Chicken Stock with Mushrooms. After, we chose the cooked and uncooked items to put into our hot pot. We chose: braised beef, tripe, quail eggs, pork belly, enoki mushroom, prime beef, tenderloin, beef meatballs, fish balls, tofu, napa cabbage, watercress, winter melon, and corn. Picking the noodles is one of my favorite parts; I chose glass vermicelli, green bean vermicelli, and udon. BEEF TALLOW MALA Satisfying mala flavor, some places have a mild mala, but this was perfect, not too oily and the beef tallow was fresh, there wasn't any weird taste to it which can happen if it isn't fresh. CHICKEN STOCK WITH MUSHROOMS Such an underrated soup, truly would drink this on its own. A perfect break from the spicy mala and really flavorful for such simple ingredients. Everything came out reasonably fast for a place that was pretty packed. The staff were so friendly and attentive, it was a great place for a party of six. All the meat was prepared fresh and presented beautifully. This is one of my first reviews where my photos really don't show everything I ordered and enjoyed. I definitely ate before the camera for one of the few times in my life. Everything was just soooo delicious and I really just dove right in haha. Highly recommend coming here if you want to try a good hot pot place or if you just want some bomb hot pot. Absolutely wonderful.

Came for lunch on a Friday with my family and we were all very satisfied! We ordered their limited-time special of prepared lamb stew, which was very flavorful. I think it's quite a thoughtful setup to have a side table with shelves next to the table, which keeps our table less crowded and makes it easy for us to clear used plates away. Beware they get really crowded for dinner and on weekends - even though we were there for lunch most tables were occupied. They are not AYCE, meaning you order whatever toppings and ingredients you want but they are a la carte. Really solid hotpot, can't wait to return!

First time here, went for lunch and easy to get a table for four. Loved how we could have two different broths, so opted for the spicy beef tallow and mushroom broths. Then came the meats and veggies; tongue, 2 types of pork belly, spicy marinated beef, chicken, fish, shrimp balls and chicken balls. Also had cabbage, spinach, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, and pumpkin. The condiment bar for dipping your meats into was insanely comprehensive, including but not limited to sesame oil, soy sauce, cilantro, chili paste, ground peanuts, garlic, scallions and barbecue paste. This is a fun eating out option for a large group. We seriously over ordered, but got to take some broth and uncooked meats to go. Worth a visit.

Delicious, excellent service, and filling for a little more expensive than what we usually get. I got the mini spicy beef broth. We went for Combo C. Enough food for four people at about $80 at the end of the day. Quality of food and sauces is spectacular. The sauces are especially nice because they're a build your own deal. Ambiance is nice, pretty modern and classy.
