Miga Restaurant - Sydney

Di Wang has become my favourite hot pot place in Sydney. I really like that you get your own little hotpot each so you can opt for your own type of stock. I really like the Thai tom yum stock. The menu is huge you can choose from a huge range of items for the hot pot. You then go select what sauce you want from a sauce bar which has a huge range of sauces and you help yourself to rice. Service is very good the waiting staff keep an eye on your stock and are quick to top it up when needed. As I said earlier, I think this is the best hot pot place in Sydney city now.

We decided to try out this place after searching for a nice hot pot place on a rainy day. We werent disappointed with the many choices available. There was also a choice to have individual pot of soup which is great especially when some of us have food restrictions like no beef/no pork : There were many condiments/sauces to choose from. Rice was free of charge but they encouraged patrons to take the amount that they could finish and dont waste food. They will also top up your soup upon request or if u are running low of it. We definitely enjoyed our dinner. :

We were drawn in by the large number of young people eating here and weren't sorry. The idea is that you pick your soup base (I like the tom yum), then choose a selection of anything you'd like to cook in it, from a range of over 100 items. The waiter then brings your own bowl of soup, which you heat on a hotpot set into the table, thus cooking whatever meat, fish, tofu, noodles or veggies you've chosen. There is also a table where you can help yourself to whatever sauces you like. The soup gets topped up if you're running low, so there is never any danger of leaving hungry. I thought it was really good quality at a very good price and am surprised it's not more highly rated on TA. It's also great for me as a vegetarian, while offering a ton of choice for meat eaters. They have good fixed price evening and lunchtime deals but these aren't veggie friendly.

Honestly, the taste of the soup can't really be considered as amazing. However, I like their Di Wang based soup. It's a seafood/seaweed based soup, you can taste the seafood there, however some people might find it a bit bland. But if you want a bit of change from the normal very spicy hot pot, this would be a nice change for you. They have Di Wang soup, kimchi soup, ma la soup (spicy , and mushroom soup. I came here twice, first was for dinner, and the 2nd was for lunch. I actually think it's quite pricey for dinner, HOWEVER, the lunch is a very good value! At lunch time they have this $15 lunch set which includes 1 plate of a choice of meat (chicken, pork, beef or lamb , a plate of vegies, mushrooms and tofu, a can of soft drink, unlimited sauce and unlimited rice. The sauce and rice are always unlimited though, regardless you come for dinner. But in my opinion, their price for individual serving of items is quite expensive. Service is good. They do ask you if you've been here before and explain how we should order. Their English isn't perfect, but they understand you, you understand them, and they are nice to deal with, which I think is the most important thing. Will I come again? Yeah, as I said the Di Wang soup is a nice if change for hot pot. But, I'd prefer to come for lunch :

Had dinner at Di Wang Taiwanese Hot Pot Restaurant on a Friday night in mid-January. The restaurant is located in the Chinatown Darling Harbor precinct. Town Hall is the closest train station. If you take a bus, you will get off on George Street near the corner of Liverpool Street, and walk along Liverpool Street towards Darling Harbor for 2 3 minutes and you will find the restaurant in the Dixon Street promenade. Di Wang offers so-called hot pot style dishes. For those who are not familiar with hot pot , how it works is that you choose your choice of soup $5), which comes in a tin pot. You place that on a hot plate on the table, and you cook your own meal. You choose your ingredient from a large selection of food, from veggies, meat, seafood, etc. Most items are priced somewhere around $8 $20, so the more you order, the more you pay. The idea is to share amongst your group and to enjoy lots of different items. Just be mindful of the number of dishes you order at the start, as you can always order more later so it 's a good idea to start moderately. I made a mistake by ordering far too many dishes and it was a struggle to finish them off! Food was fresh, of good quality, and reasonably priced. Boiled rice medium grain) and water are free of charge, unlimited. Staff members are happy to replenish your soup or you can help yourself too) with no extra charge. You just need to ask for it. Staff members I came across spoke fairly good English. It is a licensed restaurant and there are some alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks. As mentioned earlier, we ordered too many dishes as well as 3 soft drinks, and our bill was $90. We could have easily done with $50. Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience and I will definitely return there for another hot pot experience.
