“Best hot pot in the city in my opinion, and FREE on your birthday!”
“Food was beyond amazing, service was great, this is now my favorite hotpot place.”
“Great spot for AYCE hotpot with fresh cuts of meat and veggies. There’s an enormous sauce bar for you to create. Appetizers including fried rice, noodles, egg rolls and etc. to try. The shrimp paste is one of my favorites. The broth is rich, aromatic, and really ties everything together. Service is attentive, welcoming and quick when ordering from tablet. This location is more spacious, modern and closer to me compared to the Chinatown one. Definitely a go to spot to hang out with friends, especially on cold days!”
“Food and service were great. Good quality food for family gatherings.”
“Great fresh food love the atmosphere taste food Great experience!😋”
“This place is awesome! We went for a girls night and enjoyed the whole hotpot experience! The lamb is halal here, so we were happy to have a meat option. However, the veggie broth itself is so flavorful—having just veggies would have been just fine! By the end of the night we were drinking cups of the broth, because of how flavorful it was!! If you like spicy, definitely get the spicy broth! You won’t regret it. Appreciated how clean the place was—the staff were great about checking in and refilling the broth regularly! Will definitely be going back for more!!”
“Visited with my brother in-law, sister and nephews for his birthday, wasn't sure what to expect when they were explaining it to me but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was great, the food, atmosphere and service, my favorite was the spicy broth. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in town.”
