We were a party of 4 celebrating my wife's birthday. We really had a great time. Place is somewhat kitchy, small family run restaurant. Service in an all you can eat place is a little different but when we had requests they were met with a smile. Food is not the greatest I've ever had but that's not what you go for. It was fun

I've never written a Google review, but this place was so awful that I had to write one to warn others. Do not come to this location!!!! The beef was old, pork slices had a weird texture, and meatballs were rubbery. They only have individual pots, so it took away from the whole hotpot experience where you share food with your family and loved ones. Even the boba drinks weren't up to par. The boba balls were jelly and had a weird crunch to them. Our waiter was rude and unhelpful. The bathroom sink was falling apart and I felt dirty just standing in the bathroom.

Save your money and go somewhere else.

I had the ox tail broth it was perfect. The choices of add-ons was a lot the veggies was fresh. If you like to kick up your broth stock and give it a zip. I recommend adding peanut butter sauce mixed in with a little spicy sauce and some fresh chopped chives. Stir it into the broth stock. Not only is it yummy it will clear your sinuses. Highly recommend this place.

We were invited by family friend so we didn’t have any idea what the experience is about. Not an “eat & run” place. Your goal when coming here is to spend time & bond with family & friends coz you need a lot of time here if you choose the hot pot: from ordering food, boiling your broth, adding your meats & veggies then eating. It’s an experience. But, personally I want my food brought to me ready to eat. It’s my goal when eating out. I cook enough at home🤣and I’d like to relax when eating out. We were confused initially as to the process and prices but the staff is very helpful and patient. I’d say one hotpot is good for 2 people but if you’re really hungry then have your own. $25.99 per person/hotpot and $12.99 per person as an additional charge just to share someone’s hotpot and you can’t order your own. $12.99 just to share, I think is too much money and for this I gave 4⭐️. So, this is a one time experience for me. The food is delicious but too pricey.

Food was great, menu was put together well and even has a little "hotpot for beginners" guide if you've never had hotpot before. Staff was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was pleasant without being overdone.

First time here and I love it! Did the combo and had the Szechuan hot and spicy stock was super good! Wasn’t too spicy was just perfect super flavorful with a kick. Nice portion of meat this is a personal size.

I absolutely love this place! My friend recommended it to me And while it's quite a drive from where I live, it was 100% worth it!
We went for the all you can eat hot pot for around $27 per person. You get 2 hours and your choice of whatever you want on the menu plus the broth of your choice.
The broths we chose were amazing (Szechuan hot & spicy/beef brisket radish) and the veggies and meats were all fresh. The service was great and the drinks were also amazing! I recommend the iced tea!
If your in the area it's 100% worth the try!

It seemed the owner took the pandemic measures seriously. There was a temperature checking at the entrance. Each of the tables were separated with curtain and partition. It’s an all you can eat with a fixed price per person. Each person got one hot pot with the desired soup, spicy or not. I got Sichuan spicy hot pot. My husband got tomato pickle hot pot. As much as I love spicy food, I found the Sichuan spicy hot pot was mediocre, not as flavorful as I expected. The tomato pickle soup was better. The ingredients were fresh. The service was good and attentive. We didn’t eat much. One dish of beef slices and one dish of lamb slices as well as some veggies already made us so full. So for the quantity we’ve got, I felt it’s a bit pricey. We may come back to try the dim sum.
