"The service was excellent, the food option is variate, fresh and cook perfectly. My friend was so excited to bring me here, and it honestly exceeded both of our expectations. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The food came out quickly and everything tasted amazing. Satisfied to the woman who seemed to be the leader/supervisor, or maybe even the owner. She deserves genuine recognition for how well she runs the place, she look so tired but still manage my special order perfectly. I hope she genuine when giving me the compliments, so ur kindness will turn to you multiple times"

"Had their vegan soup base with veggie options and it was quite good. They don't have as many vegetarian items as other hotpot places but it's good enough. We quite enjoyed it."

"Went to Chao Chow TTP today and was served by Wilson. What fantastic service he gave us. Our order was a little complex but he sorted it all out perfectly and gave us a great discount. 10/10 for perfect customer service and 11/10 for the quality and flavour of the hot pots. I can very highly recommend them next time you want a hot pot at TTP. Thank you very much Wilson and co. See you next Time Cheers !"

"Wow. When we left the food court we were nothing short of impressed. We got 3 hotpot bowls, all choosing our own ingredients including seafood, meats, vegetables, mushrooms, rice cakes, etc. and paid by weight. We purchased 2 malatang bowls, 1 laksa bowl, and 3 bottles of water and in total the cost amounted to around $80. You can choose from a variety of broths to have the staff cook your ingredients in, such as Malatang, Tom Yum, Laksa, Miso, or Dry/Stir Fried. You can also choose spice levels of No Spice, Mild, Hot, Fire and Volcano. The serving sizes were huge, so if you have a smaller stomach then definitely don’t get too many ingredients. Overall, we were very impressed by the experience and price and will definitely return next time we’re in TTP."

"My partner and I ate here for the first time and we were hesitant because we have never eaten here before and the reviews were a bit negative. But the food was delicious, it was hot, the bowls were filled with amazing ingredients and it was worth the money and the range of different things you could add were insane. I would definitely come back."
