Shangshangqian Hot Pot (Xinmei Union Square Branch) - Merchant Reviews

Shangshangqian is a hot pot restaurant co-opened by singer Xue Zhiqian and his friends, and currently has a total of 5 branches in Shanghai. Because of the star effect brought by the boss himself, Kamijo Qian has always had a super high popularity, and there are check-in customers who come from all over the world every day, and the average waiting time for each store is basically more than two hours during peak periods.

In addition to the red pot, there are several kinds of white soup, tomato and mushroom soup, and you can give away the mandarin duck pot base by ordering 4 bullfrogs. The bottom of the red pot is not authentic enough, there is only a thin layer of butter on the bottom surface of the pot, although the spicy taste is acceptable, but the soup base is light, the oil fragrance is not mellow enough, the color, fragrance and taste are less charming, the bottom of the tomato pot is rich, but the sweetness is slightly too much, and many foreign customers are crying out that they can't accept it.

Shangshangqian has both skewer and signature dishes, as well as normal plate dishes. Secret chicken skewers and beef skewers are signature dishes, because they are all skewered on the skewers, they can be fully flavored without cooking for too long, and the meat is relatively delicate, and the mutton skewers are not stable enough, and occasionally there will be a bad smell. The chrysanthemum duck gizzard has a high order rate, and the single duck gizzard is cut into iron leaves, and almost every position is boiled at high temperature in the soup base after being put into the pot, and the taste is crisp and hard. The duck blood will basically not touch the thunder, the ingredients are fresh, and the taste is tender after boiling. Most of the meat dishes in the store can be ordered only half a portion, which is more humane. Many people have questioned that the portions are too small, but on the whole, the portions are actually mediocre. However, there is still a certain distance between the freshness and processing of the dishes and other hot pots at the same price.

The decoration of several branches is in a uniform nightclub style, with small blue lights under a black frame. The hot pot restaurant is dimly lit, the background music has been playing the boss's album on a loop, and Xue Zhiqian's personal portrait is printed on the wall, table, and tissue box, and even in the small private room, the four walls are full. During the peak period, the hygiene of the store is more worrying, the floor is slippery, the table is stained, and the level of service staff is relatively average. Overall, although Kamijo has a very good praise rate on many websites, it may be more suitable for fan groups and check-in customers.
