About this spot
Shu 9 Hotpot in Yulin does hotpot — a bubbling pot of broth at your table where you cook raw meats, vegetables, and noodles yourself. Chengdu-style is mouth-numbingly spicy and absolutely addictive.
💡 Tips before you go

- Mix your own dipping sauce at the sauce bar — sesame paste + garlic + cilantro is the classic
- Thin-sliced meat cooks in 10-15 seconds. Don't overcook it.
