Our second visit on NYE, and it was just as amazing as our first. This time we came better prepared. We had a list for each of us on our meats and hot pot. Our 8yo loves the popcorn chicken, fries, ramen, and the chicken. My wife and I love everything they offer. It's so awesome they have options for kids so adults can also enjoy themselves. Be aware there is a 20% waste fee if you waste your food. We appreciate the consciousness of waste and understand that food is expensive. Half orders are an option, too. The wait staff were all wonderful and brilliant. We drive 2.5 hours one way just to visit here. Well worth the trip, the price, and the travels! Can't wait for the next visit!

This is the best hot pot in town! Service is great. Food is always fresh and comes out quick. The sauce bar is always clean and stocked. My go to is the tom yum broth. We usually order most veggies on the menu, along with prime brisket, lamb and rib eye. Tofu rolls and rice cake are also always on our order! If you’re going on a Friday or Saturday night you can probably walk in, but I would make a reservation just in case.

Had such a great time! Yuxuan was helpful in explaining how everything worked and checking in on us often! The food was so flavorful. My 10 year old son loved the hotpot. The bbq is amazing also. We will definitely be back!

First time and we will absolutely be back! Such a fun interactive experience…. Kind of like melting pot, except the food actually tastes great lol. Susan guided us through our experience perfectly because it’s a bit confusing at first, we appreciated and enjoyed her bubbly and kind presence. She was patient and sweet. Hot pot was so perfect for these bitter cold days. We left full and happy. Can’t wait to try the BBQ!

First time there. I was impressed. Food was outstanding, service was outstanding. I was a bit intimidated at first, at cooking my own meal , but this was really enjoyable. I never picked up my cell phone once. It was great to engage with my friends and we enjoyed a fantastic dinner! I would give the 10 Stars if I could for the value of our meal! You will not leave this restaurant hungry!
