So after years of being without, the Heights on Hastings has finally gained a Taiwanese restaurant! So of course we had to go give it a try.
Jo Ju hot pot menu
From what I could see, the menu was pretty much a replica of the one you would find at Han ju tofu hotpot at Crystal mall.
The interior or Jo Ju hot pot wasn’t anything special. Pretty basic with a good amount of seating.
Seafood hotpot
Not much flavor in the soup. It was really bland and just tasted like salted water. Although it looks like there was a lot of things in the pot, there was only 1 shrimp, 2 mussels, 2 tiny fish balls, a few sad pieces of napa and a few strands of mung bean thread on the inside. But I guess you get what you pay for.
BBQ pork rice
We thought that the preparation of the pork was a little odd because it was sauteed pork marinated in BBQ sauce instead of actual BBQ pork. The pork slices were disappointing as they were tough and dry.
Summary
Food: 3
Would I come back? No
