Liuyishou Hot Pot

Liu Yi Shou AYCE Hotpot continues to impress me every single time I visit and trust me, I’ve been here more times than I can count. Even though I didn’t get any photos this round (the food distracted me in the best way possible), the experience was unforgettable. And yes, I’ll absolutely be back with my camera ready next time. Their soup bases alone are worth the trip. The Wild Mushroom Soup Base has leveled up in flavour it’s packed with earthy depth and now includes cordyceps and red dates, which not only add to the richness but are also amazing for your health. The Tomato Soup Base is tangy and comforting, while the Braised Duck with Pickled Radish is savory and unique, with a slight tartness that balances the richness of the broth. But the real showstopper for me is the Pork Stomach with Chicken Soup Base warming, hearty, and deeply flavorful. Each one is crafted with care and makes every ingredient shine. Speaking of ingredients the selection is honestly overwhelming in the best way. From fatty beef, lamb, pork belly, beef tongue, and ox tongue to more adventurous offerings like spam, pork brain, duck feet, pork kidney, and Japanese fish cake there’s no shortage of variety. Their seafood spread includes shrimp, arctic clam, mussel, sole fish, cuttlefish, and a full line of meatballs (beef, pork, cuttlefish, and fish) that soak up flavor beautifully. Vegetarians and veggie lovers will be happy too. They offer tofu in every form imaginable silken tofu, frozen tofu, tofu skin, bean curd, and fried gluten balls. There’s also lettuce, cabbage, radish, potato, and corn all great for soaking up the broth and adding some fresh balance to the meal. And if you’re a carb-lover, don’t worry they’ve got all kinds of noodles to finish off your hotpot feast just right. The mushroom selection is also no joke: enoki, oyster, king oyster, shiitake, and black fungus all bring different textures and earthy notes that elevate every bite. Don’t skip the braised dishes at the hot bar either especially the pig feet, lotus root, and quail eggs. They’re rich, flavorful, and absolutely comforting. And let’s not forget the sauce bar gorgeous, clean, and stocked with everything you need to make your dream dipping sauce. The cherry on top? They’re open late, which makes this spot perfect for a spontaneous dinner or a satisfying late-night craving. Liu Yi Shou is consistently delicious, offers an incredible selection, and somehow keeps improving with every visit. Highly, highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back soon (with pictures to do it justice next time)!

Great service, great food! My wife has celiac and the server was super helpful to make sure the options we chose were gluten free
