616十二味 is a hot pot place that focuses on beef. You can basically throw any part of the beef (you name it, they'll probably have it) into their boiling pot of hot soup. Their name is also a play on the Cantonese phrase that people use during hot pot. To give it a quick boil.But what does a hot pot place serve during lunch? Most do close and only open at night.

But what does a hot pot place serve during lunch? Most do close and only open at night. But with steep rent, most opt to stay open. Some offer hot pot and then some, like this place, offer lunch sets that are not related to hotpot at all.
Located on a street where there are already a number of other hot pot places is this 616十二味. It's designed in a retro style. There is even a drawing of a wet market. I guess to show they get fresh ingredients for you to boil away.
Boyfriend and I came here for lunch where we were presented with a lunch menu. Menu is in Chinese and partly English. Only the drinks has no English. But you can add $7 and get a drink (soft drink or soy milk). There is no 10% service charge and prices under $50. As their shop is all beef hotpot, their lunch menu consisted of all beef (except for one vegetarian option).
I ordered a soy milk and it was prepackaged in a plastic cup. It was ok. Not much soybean flavor.
They also gave us a bowl of daily Chinese soup. It was savory and it appeared to be beef with random vegetables. Not too bad.
Marinated Beef (Char Siu Style) Fried Rice ($48). I ordered this. Pretty decent. The rice wasn't oily at all. The little cubes of beef were made to resemble char siu and did have that same texture. They had marinated it in spices that included Szechuan peppercorns to give it a slight numbing effect but it wasn't too much. Just enough to let you know it was there.
Slow Cooked Beef Brisket /Short Ribs with Rice ($48). Boyfriend ordered this and it seemed majority of the peope who ate here also ordered this. It came in a pot with some rice on the side.
The pot included beef brisket.
A lot of short ribs. There seemed to be more short ribs to beef brisket.
And there were some vegetables such as daikon.
The broth was rich with the various spices used. The beef brisket and short ribs were soft and tender. No wonder this was the popular item. For $48, a pretty good deal.
Inexpensive lunch sets. The only downside is you must be a beef fan. If you don't eat beef, then this place is not for you. Bu if you love beef, some pretty good inexpensive options to choose from. May return and try the hot pot.
