The restaurant offers a variety of casual dining during the day; In the evening, combined with the cold weather in winter, special hot pot is provided. "The Emperor's hot pot" was once very famous, but the high price has also triggered the controversy of excessive commercialization in the Forbidden City, leading to the suspension of hot pot supply in March 2019.
2019 Chinese New Year's eve dinner in the Forbidden City was also booked recently at a price of 6,688 yuan per table, which is standard for 10 people, with an additional charge of 680 yuan（about 100 dollar）for each additional person.
The restaurant staff responded that the New Year's eve dinner was indeed cancelled, but during the Spring Festival, fast food is normally served during the day.
