Busy hotpot restaurant, a bit noisy when some table got drunk. Fotiaoqiang isn’t really the real thing, just soup with some seafood. I felt the soup had too much MSG, I was thirty for a very long time after the meal. Average $100 per person, bit pricey as well. Service is good though.

Food: (4/5) Had the Fotiaoqiang-the steamed abalone with shark’s fun and fish maw in broth, marinated chicken feet, cold fish skin, braised beef offal and clay pot rice. Highly recommend the braised beef offal and clay pot rice, super delicious. The only downside of this place was a bit pricey. Service: (3/5) They’re a bit understaffed. We had to look for the waiters to refill the water and tea.

Perfect for winter days, hot soup and hotpot~ There are 4 choices of hotpot base to chose from, we had the Chicken&Pork tripe soup as base. A lot meaty than I thought, and very flavourful. You don't need to order too much extra if there isn't many of you. Portion size was decent too. Make sure you drink the siup before placing other ingradients, it will change the flavour...

Excellent food Very fast Yes I think they are open till 4am. Everyone else in the restaurant was Chinese Huge servings, one main is enough for 2 or 3 to share. We massively over ordered. Highly recommend the calimari and chilly chicken. I found the price to be extremely reasonable given the portions. One of the best cheap eats in Auckland. Despite the sign on the front they are not open for Yum Cha. My daughter ordered the trio of pork, expecting something a 5th of the size, great roast pork but order it for a table as it needs to be eaten quickly. Recommend you order two entries for 4 people and order one main at a time, it comes super fast. The service is a bit "short" but that is more authentic Chinese service , after the meal the hostess was very happy to chat. We nearly didn't go in, but very happy we did. Many thanks guys,
