Ashima Mushroom Hotpot

Decided that we needed to have a good dinner tonight and hopped over to the Ashima Mushroom Hotpot Restaurant at 11 Tu Xuong in Dist 3. This mushroom specialty restaurant serves everything mushroom. We ordered a mushroom hotpot soup (what else??) with beef, and 4 dishes of different mushrooms. Turned out to be more than sufficient for the both of us - even had to cancel the order of noodles. There are so many varieties of mushrooms - prices range from 65k to 190k per dish of mushroom. Total damage for the night was 410k (including soft drinks and service charge) - which was a reasonable price to pay in view of the quality of food. Ashima has 5 branches in HCMC which speaks well of its reputation, I guess. The downside was that it was rather noisy in the restaurant - looks like Vietnamese are very affluent nowadays - the restaurant was quite packed and it looked like most were Vietnamese diners.
