Dainty Sichuan Food

Good solid hot pot place. It’s great that we get our own hotpot tans share the ingredients. We ordered too much so I would suggest to under order first then top up when need be.

One of my go to hot pot spots. Great selection of meats and the soup broth is always on point. Their sauce station is also very good. A bit on the expensive side but you will definitely leave with a full belly.

There are many choices of side dishes, and they are all delicious. The soup base is ok, not so fragrant and not so spicy. The pork slice is good, the Shrimp Meatballs is delicious , the overall environment is beautiful!

A family friendly hot pot restaurant. The soup bases are so delicious and the soup ingredients are always fresh. We love the make-your-own dip bar, with a variety of sauce selections. Service is friendly and efficient. Although the ambience could be improved, this is our local go-to, for a refreshing Chinese hot pot experience.

Dainty Sichuan is not like your normal CBD hotpot. Dainty Sichuan is your traditional hotpot. Perfect for chilly days and night. Food was brilliant. It tasted amazing and loved and the layout of the restaurant. Missed the five star mark as it's on the pricier side. Enoki mushrooms were around $10. Charged for sauce, $3 per person. The total you see in the picture was around $150 give or take. I would definitely come here again as the quality is brilliant. However, will cost you a fortune if came regularly.

I don’t know if it was only my dish but it was really bad and expensive. Pork ribs were only bones and fat and the mix of vegetables was not a good mix at all. The waitress was really nice !

Very delicious hot pot here. The beef and mutton combo is quite good and also the quail eggs and fish. The soup stock is very flavourful as well. Service is very good & attentive as we came very early and the crowd size was only medium sized at that time.

When your looking for a hotpot experience that is a little but more up market then the rest. I can always rely on Dainty Sichuan to provide it. From the individual mini pots to the way they display the food it really is an experience unlike most of the regular hot pots around Melbourne. Soup is regularly topped up and there sauce bar is quite extensive so you really can create your own sauce masterpiece the way you like. The venue is quite large so group's that are both large and small can easily fit into it and it doesn't feel like everyone is crowded together and staff are quite attentive, constantly topping up your broth and making sure your soup does not run out.

The mushroom soup and oxtail soup are fantastic, the spicy soup ia great but it burns. Nice presentation of food, with lots of dipping sauces to choose from. Service is quick, maybe lacking some genuine smiles, but no one was bad or anything. My last star not given is because it's a tad bit too pricey for what it is. And the $3 charge for dipping sauce, per person, is definitely not necessary, especially if the prices are already high.

Exceeded my expectation for Sichuan hotpot. Loved the richness of the spicy soup which was filled with Sichuan chilies, though it was a bit too hot for me.. The stock soup is also amazing - you won’t be bored as it has so many toppings, goji berries, spring onion, spam ham, mushroom, dates and many others. A great variety of hotpot sauce is also provided. Also ordered lamb, duck blood, tofu platter, vegetable, fried porktoo oily, plum drink. Lamb boiled in spicy soup and dipped in hotpot sauce is my All Time Favorite!!! Overall food is quite fresh; service is good.
