About Panda Hot Pot Carnegie

Panda Hot Pot delivers authentic Sichuan heat beneath dramatic palace architecture. Diners gather around split pots bubbling with rich bone broths and spicy málà, dropping in fresh meats, greens, and crispy duck intestines. Between dips, hits to the self-serve sauce counter allow for customized sesame and garlic blends, while occasional on-stage cultural performances light up the dining room. Tables regularly round out the feast with orders of warm, crispy brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

  • Split-Flavor Broths: Guests can divide their hotpot across multiple broths, from fiery Sichuan spice to soothing mushroom and rich bone soups.
  • DIY Sauce Counter: A dedicated self-serve condiment station lets diners mix custom dipping sauces with assorted herbs, aromatics, and fresh fruit.
  • Live Dinner Entertainment: Evenings regularly feature short live stage performances that complement the traditional palace-style architecture.
  • Brown Sugar Rice Cakes: Crispy on the outside and chewy inside, these fried glutinous rice cakes come finished with brown sugar syrup.
