“This is the best hot pot I’ve ever had! We had the Ultimate Package, and the meat and vegetables were incredibly fresh. The service was excellent, and everything was well organized. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!”
“1st time here my daughter has been begging to come to a Hot Pot restaurant, the food was good just not something I’m use to. The concept is awesome and the workers were amazing with helping us. Would come back for sure”
“This was honestly such an awesome experience you can grab whatever you want from the conveyor belt. I’ve never been to any place like it before they had so many different options and the experience was just a 1010 definitely recommend recommend.”
“Great food, great price. Amazing atmosphere. Really just a nice spot to visit in Chinatown.”
“Kind + hospitable staff make the experience worth everything + more! All of the food was fresh, with eating + common areas being CLEAN, including the bathrooms. Complimentary to go smoothies, but you’ll honestly be too full at the end to want to take them. So many food options, including a sauce bar with fruit and salad as well. The convenience of ordering through a tablet was relieving and the speed of service was prompt.”
“Experienced the ‘adventure’ menu! It’s fun getting food from the rotating conveyor belt—a lot of side dishes to choose from. You can also choose from the available broths. I chose Tonkatsu -so good. You can also try the Kimchi Jjigae. The crew assigned to us always makes sure we have all our orders right away. The desserts are a plus, too!!”
“The mochi ice cream was 🤌🤌 I could eat it all day. You get a free smoothie! The broths were phenomenal..my only problem was the small bowl and the spoon in the broth, I made an unbelievable mess trying to get food from the broth to my bowl”
“Is the best place to have a delicious Hotpot in Chicago! 100% recommended 👌🏽”
“The atmosphere and decoration are phenomenal. The food delivery system is technology driven. The menu offers a variety of drink, appetizers, and desserts. The foods are clean and delicious. Definitely worth paying a visit to.”
“I've been coming here for a few times already and have always loved coming here. I saw an IG reel that was posted on Dec 24th of 2025 claiming that we can receive a raffle coupon because of a birthday month between Dec 22nd to Jan 19th. When I went not specifically the date of my birthday but within the time frame specified and during my birthday month, I was disappointed to hear that they said the raffle is only for the day of your birthday, even though their official IG said differently. I showed them clip and they said that the policy has changed since December 24th, 2025. But the clip specified the dates of dec 22nd - Jan 19th, both the staff and manager denied me claiming it has changed since they posted 3 weeks ago... this reel is still posted on their official IG (not taken down) and did not make an announcement of the change on their social media.”
