Ordering at Fu Lin is easy - it is all you can eat and you pick your menu (regular or deluxe, both under $20). We opted for the deluxe, as there was more variety, as well as a free dipping sauce for each of us.
We wound up ordering 2 satay sauces, 3 garlic soy sauces, and 2 sesame sauces - different sauces for different foods. That being said, I wished we had ordered another sesame sauce instead of the garlic soy.
There was a good selection of fresh meats, vegetables, seafoods and meat alternatives (bean products). The service was prompt and friendly, and I was surprised at the number of waitresses there were that night (four, for a small Chinese restaurant!). The only complaint (if any) would be that there seemed to be a small problem in the kitchen. As a result, we had to wait a little longer than expected for our food to arrive. I remember sitting there staring at Fmace and saying, "what gives, it's not like they have to cook it or anything!"
Overall, I would return to Fu Lin Hot Pot if I were in the area. The meat and seafood are fresh, and the variety trumps other hot pot restaurants. For under $20 you can enjoy yourself with some good times with friends and family.
Thank you to Fmace for organizing the last minute dinner and also being there on time (even when we weren't!).

ReplyDeleteIzzy!
I know! Are you happy I documented it here? ;p
ReplyDeleteThis is on my to eat list as well. Heard it's good value for the money esp in Coquitlam. In fact, most HP places charge over $20 in the GVRD anyways, so this is actually cheap.
ReplyDeleteSherman, well it has two things going for you and your family: 1) udon and 2) kids under 4 are free! :D sorry couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, good value for what you get. A lot of places do not have the variety they have - oyster (albeit 1/pp, but you'll get 3! ;p) mussel, zucchini, pumpkin, bean puffs, chicken wings, omasum, tripe etc. Don't usually have them *all* on a AYCE HP meal.
