Reviews
Outstanding service from Joseph! From the moment we sat down, Joseph was very attentive and friendly. Everything was fresh, and we would definitely return!
The service was very thorough! There is a lot to choose from on the menu so ask questions! There was lots of seating options as well. Bathrooms were very clean and there is an area if you just need to wash your hands! Amazing options to choose from. The meat and seafood tasted fresh and the option to have two types of broth was lovely! The cocktails looked good on Instagram too!
The unlimited hot pot provided great value for the money. We used a groupon deal. Note their dinner prices are all weekend. They offered high quality hot pot ingredients including thinly sliced prime ribeye beef, scallops, octopus, squid, king oyster mushrooms along with all the staples like puffed tofu, fish balls, and a variety of vegetables and noodles. They also had a self serve build your own sauce station. The scallops tasted slightly fishy and too blanch since they arrived in a frozen block but other than that all the ingredients were delicious. Much easier than shopping and prepping at home.
Initially a 5/5 for the price, consistent service, variety of food and taste but I had a pretty bad stomachache for a few hours after, so lowering it to a 4/5. I probably just ate something bad, rip. DINNER - 32.99 I got the SHABU SHABU BROTH soup base, which was lightly salted and flavorful. I definitely drank lots of the broth throughout because the veggies and meats only added more flavor to it. I would recommend giving all the meats, seafoods, starches and vegetables a try if possible. Our table of four tried more than half of the available items, but I'll list my recommendations: + PRIME RIBEYE BRISKET + FATTY BRISKET + LAMB + QUAIL EGGS + FISH TOFU + DUMPLINGS - super tiny, lol, like you can eat 4-5 in one bite + SQUID - great texture! + WIDE VERMECELLI - loved the chewy texture + WATERCRESS - we got lots of this + ENOKI MUSHROOM + NAPA + BOKCHOY + WOODEAR MUSHROOM + LOTUS ROOT We also enjoyed the sauce bar greatly! I mixed some savory sesame paste with heaps of minced garlic and chopped scallions. Definitely a mild combo that went well with everything. We had a Groupon (pay 18.00 to get 30.00 off) which saved a couple bucks per person, given that we had a party of 9. The AYCE experience is two hours long, which was more than enough for us. We all ate until we were very full and satisfied.
Great hot pot place with a variety of meats and veggie options. The service was pretty fast as they brought out our items soon after we ordered. Our server checkin on us frequently and made sure to refill our broths whenever it got low. Absolutely loved the drinks for the Halloween special. I was able to try the Jell-O shots and the blood bag. Both were fun drinks and made our time at hot spot more fun. Definitely a great place to hangout with friends or a date.
