Destination-worthy takeout chicken hot pot with rich goji-wine broth, generous sets, and meticulous packaging; a couple of service hiccups but overall excellent for at-home hot pot.
How Drunk earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality centered on its signature fragrant goji-wine broth and consistently tender drunken chicken, paired with reliable execution across repeat orders. Generous portions and meticulous packaging standards strengthen its standing as a neighborhood hot pot specialist, though occasional service delays and modest ambiance prevent advancement to grade A territory. Ideal for home gatherings seeking comforting, adjustable Chinese hot pot with strong quality control.
Set above the bustle of Lai Chi Kok, How Drunk turns home kitchens into hot pot havens. Packaging is meticulous, sauces come labeled, and a QR card walks you through the cook. One diner said the broth "smells like a hug" and the chicken stays silky. Expect generous takeout sets, fragrant goji-wine broth, and leak-proof packaging. The cooking leans traditional-with-a-twist: a deeply savory chicken stock amplified by goji berries, red dates, and a measured pour of Shaoxing. You choose how much wine to add, so flavors can run warming and floral rather than boozy. It suits those who enjoy comforting Chinese hot pot with a signature drunken profile over showy techniques, and works brilliantly for small gatherings at home. Families do well here. Many parents cook a non-alcoholic round first, then add wine for the adults. Kids can fill up on rice noodles and vegetables, with dumplings and sesame tangyuan for a friendly finish. Portions often feed two adults plus a child; spice and alcohol are adjustable, but picky eaters may prefer the milder base before wine.
