This beloved eatery expertly captures the essence of traditional flavors while inviting diners into an energetic, welcoming atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a festive gathering.

LaoJie’s signature offering, the Old Street DIY Spicy Hot Pot (老街自选DIY麻辣烫), is a captivating experience where you craft your own perfect bowl from a rich assortment of fresh ingredients—sliced beef, seafood boat assortments including surf clam, mussel, and shrimp paste, and a medley of mushrooms.

The added freedom to customize your dipping sauces—from the nutty warmth of sesame oil and peanut sauce to the tangy lift of hoisin and chili sauce—turns each meal into an interactive culinary adventure.

Beyond the main courses, the snacks such as crispy Seasons Fries, fluffy Pumpkin Bread, and the sweet comfort of Rice Cake with Brown Sugar round out the meal perfectly. And don’t miss the luscious Mango Pudding Dessert that provides a refreshing, silky-smooth finale to your feast.
