This is the first time I've had non-all you can eat hot pot. I'm usually quite 'cheap' and don't think it's worth it, but with a little money to spare, we decided to try this place out.
Being a Chongqing numb and spicy hotpot joint, they have very different things on the menu - black beef tripe, giblets, duck blood jelly, beef aorta etc. However a lot of items were also crossed off, which is a little disappointing.
The mala pots are spicy and oily, very authentic. The sauce is no longer self-served, which is cleaner under COVID regulations.
We ordered way too much, but got to try different things on the menu. Each portion is much bigger than we’ve anticipated. The giblets and the black beef tripe is very delicious and tender. Beef and lamb slices were fresh and not overly greasy. The tofu combination was interesting. There are still so many things I'd like to try and I won't mind coming back. We were able to take away the leftovers.
We did end up with a big bill but we also ordered a equivalent of 4-5 peope's worth of food :p The place is nice and clean. It would be better if we came with more people.
Memory Tongue hotpot is located in Chatswood Interchange that serves Chongqing Hotpot. Chongqing cuisine is known for their spicy and numbing flavours (mala). We love going to hotpot during the winter as it warms up our body, improves circulation and sends us to a food coma afterwards :P. There are plenty of meats, seafood, cold dishes, fresh vegetables and various fungus to choose from. Rolled aprons can be found on each table to keep you clean and smell free throughout the whole experience.
Been here probably my 6th times and just loving their flavour and friendly service. The price is decent too compared to other places. Great Value for awesome meal.
Tried the half-half hotpot. Despite the other being too spicy for me, i still liked it. Loved the tomato tripe soup. Loved the giant glutinous ball.
If you love a good hotpot which offers a huge variety of seafood, meat and vegetables - this place is perfect for you. The menu is very extensive and you pay for what you order which is great. They make very yummy broths which cook the meat and vegetables perfectly.
The food was super delicious and perfect to have on a cold night. Can make your own sauces to however you like. And the meat barbie was definitely a highlight. Service was confusing at times but accommodating. Fave dishes would be definitely be the different meats and the dual spicy soup & tangy tomato soup - both flavorsome in their own way.
Great range of food. I do hope they wipe down the seats thought as it’s often oily from the previous customer. Descent customer service, food is quite fresh and sauce variety is good

Nothing is better than having hotpot in winter. You get to gather with your friends, order a whole bunch of meat and cook whatever you like in your pipping hot broth! This time we were at Memory Tongue for their famous Chongqing spicy hotpot.
I couldn’t decide which one I wanted the most so I got both fish & pickled vegetable and spicy butter soup base. The pickled veggie soup came with some raw fish pieces so they are cooked as you eat. Very thoughtful of the chef! Both soup bases were fragrant and flavourful without being too salty. And of course, I constantly had to go back to the pickled vegetable soup when I found the spicy one getting too strong.
Barbie wagyu beef was stunning and her beef outfit is definitely my favourite kind of dress (yes, cos it’s edible). The beef was tender and fatty. Having them thinly cut also ensured more soup clings.
As the photo suggests, the marbling in Australia M8 wagyu beef was simply amazing. Cut in thicker pieces, the texture and fattiness was even more enjoyable to meat lovers like me.
I always love beef tongue but this one could have been cut in thicker slices to maximise the chewiness and bounciness.
Spam slices were pretty standard but it’s the thought that counts. Spam in heart shape with garnish made it a whole lot fancier than usual.
Fried buns with condensed milk never goes wrong. Crunchy skin, soft and fluffy bun dipped in sweet and creamy condensed milk, what’s not to love?
Supersized fried glutinous rice ball is probably another must-order item. Crispy and slightly chewy bits of glutinous rice balls full of sesame seeds were just irresistible. Make sure you start eating when it’s fresh off the stove though.
Overall a very pleasant hotpot experience with incredibly fresh ingredients and mouthwatering broths.
Great ambiance here and it’s nice to have the choice to have individual hotpots or one big one to share. The meat and seafood was quite fresh plus the glutinous sesame ball was a highlight. They also do the meat barbie and rose soup base if you order the spicy ones!
It's that time of year where hot pot is easily the go-to option. Memory Tongue has an incredible selection of meat and seafood and enough broth choices to please anyone
