Qiwei Kitchen - Rowland Heights

I highly recommend coming here for dinner! They’re famous for their dry pot, which is served in a family style – everything is pre-cooked in a large pot. Depending on the size you choose, if you order the medium, you can select one type of meat; if you opt for the large, you can pick two meats. Since there were six of us, we decided to order both the large and the medium, which provided more than enough food for everyone. Rice is ordered by the bowl, which pairs perfectly with the dishes. We selected catfish and chicken cartilage, choosing both the hot sauce and the garlic sauce. The hot sauce has a wonderful Szechuan spice that was incredibly tasty, but I particularly enjoyed the garlic sauce, especially when we added noodles to it. The noodles were chewy and absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to return and try it again with different meats!

This is the best mala xiang guo I've ever had in California! I highly recommend it. I ordered the small pot along with several side dishes, and it turned out to be a generous amount—enough for two people!

I absolutely love this restaurant! It's truly a comfort for me. I discovered it years ago and told my friends, who quickly became just as obsessed with it, haha! Chinese dry pot is one of my guilty pleasures—I just can’t resist it! I've tried several dry pot places, and so far, Qiwei is the best and most authentic. I always order the beef dry pot with the original spicy sauce, and then I add my favorite toppings: lunch meat, wide vermicelli noodles, and mushrooms. Just a tip: adding too many extras doesn't actually give you more; you'll end up with less of everything! The pot itself already comes with a generous amount of potatoes, cauliflower, celery, and bean sprouts. I can't wait to go back!

We often came here and brought a lot of family and friends here to eat. My last review was posted 7 years ago with a 4 star review. However, quality has declined dramatically over the years. They began to stab meat and veggie. They don't put any more garlic, sometimes you will find 1 garlic. I asked her why no more garlic. The lady said because some people don't eat garlic. Have you seen a Chinese person who doesn't want garlic in the dish? I do not eat the garlic, but garlic improves the taste of food. If they don't do well, they should just be real and tell me that business isn't good and need to reduce costs. We apologize that some people don't eat garlic is ridiculous to me. Maybe they don't do well and try to reduce costs, but the stinging on the food will cause fewer people to go.

Just think of hot pot but with no soup. If you're a hot pot lover but sometimes you're not in the mood for soup. Dry pot is the way to go. The menu is very simple, you bscially can pick a single or combo which comes in 2 different meat. It comes with assorted veggies, such as bean sprouts , celery, cauliflower, ect. You can also add additional veggies from the menu for additional price. we ordered the combo large pot, with intestines and chicken wings with mild spicy. You can choose the spicier level if you can handle, but the server recommed mild to be on the safe side. The intestines and the chicken came out to be perfectly cooked. Spice level is good. Service was fast and great, we got our food no lalter than 10-15 minutes. We did come on a Wednesday, Weekends do get busy. I see that they offer on skewers on the skillets, I'd love to come back to try it.
