Coco Rooster has been on my list of places to try since it opened last year. We were intrigued by the coconut chicken hotpot, which turned out to be lighter and healthier than traditional hotpot broths. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were welcoming. We decided to go for the lunch special combo, which included coconut fresh chicken soup and fresh salted fish over rice for $13.99. Unfortunately, we found it somewhat disappointing. While the soup was flavorful, the chicken was tough and dry. Although the salted fish and meat were tasty, the portion sizes felt small compared to the amount of rice served. We may give it another shot for their signature hotpot, but based on our initial experience, we can't recommend it.
The beef chunks were also tender; just cook them until there’s no pink but don’t go too far beyond that. The Napa cabbage, assorted mushrooms, watercress, and wide rice noodles are absolutely worth trying, as they soak up the deliciously sweet coconut broth. The dipping sauce made of ginger and green onion paired perfectly with the chicken and added a burst of flavor. Overall, this is a hotpot that doesn't rely on a super salty soup base. As someone who prefers milder flavors and tends to steer clear of overly salty restaurant food, I found this place to be fantastic! I did add a couple of drops of soy sauce mixed with a spoonful of the soup base in my bowl for a little extra saltiness. After the hotpot, don’t forget to sip on some of the coconut chicken soup—it's really delicious!

My friend and I ordered the coconut hot pot. The coconut soup base is good sweet and light. I personally don't like thick and dense soup base. Their restaurant made chilly sauce is a delight. Sweet and a little spicy, good for dipping. The waiters arefriendly too. The only down size is the food is pricy and the amount is not for a big eater. If you like coconut and chicken,give it a try.
So I order what everybody was recommending. The basic a hotpot with chicken quite few pieces of chicken. Really expensive for some half chicken. Quite the same as you can get from a Cantonese scallion chicken in half but with a hint of coconut(maybe).With that only takes about less than 80% of the price from this place. We also order some pudding, not really recommending atall. Quite disappointed as my wife was being advised by little red book. But $130 on a dinner for two. Barely got me full.rip-off.
