impromptu decision to dine at dolar shop last night. got the table immediately as it had just turned 6pm. lots of people lining up as we left an hour and a half later. great decor. super clean. there were 2 of us. we ordered mushroom base, pork legbone base and sichuan base with medium spice. all soups were flavourful. be aware the sichuan is super spicy my mother struggled with the heat level and she is a chilli eater. ordered a veggie basket, shiitake mushrooms, fresh bean curd skin, tripe, banana prawns, pate platter which is shrimp paste, fish paste and beef paste. also ordered pork wontons, kurabuta pork and the wagyu beef and lamb platter.fresh noodles. everything was supremely fresh. i will say that the quantity of food ordered was excessive, when i asked the waiter if we had ordered too much she indicated we could order another dish. the amount of food we had could have easily fed a third person and we had to take away food with us! the sauce bar is exhaustive and should be put to good use. my only negative points were sometimes it was difficult to get a hold of the waitress for broth top ups and i had to ask 3 times for her to make the balls with the paste platter. i suspect she hates doing them because her balls were very messy. despite free fruit being offered post meal, we never received any fruit to finish. and i was never given back my umbrella post meal either. i will definitely be back but i think how your night goes can vary dependant on how good your waiter is. mine was nice but i think a bit new. and struggled with english. also when in doubt i say order less items and you can always add more if you feel you need it. maybe a set menu hotpot degustation option should be available for people who are less certain of what they are doing? also please be aware from a budgetary perspective this is not a cheap dining option at $175 this is without ordering market price seafood and top choice wagyu platters the quality and quantity per costing is fair but not a cheap night out!
