Overall, it’s a fun, interactive dining experience with high-quality food and great service. Highly recommend for anyone who loves hot pot or wants to try it for the first time.

Wow!! Ok, I love a good hot pot. I am a broth-y boy, ok. This place absolutely slaps. The service was divine!! Huge shoutout to Lea & Donna who waited on us. Lovely ladies who actually explained each step, popular items, personal faves, & how we should enjoy. Makes it a much better experience. Thank you for the time!
We tried two soup bases. Strongly suggest trying lunch too. They give you 2 meats at a time per person. The side ingredients come around on a rotary & the entrees come around above it on train. You just grab what you want. All you can eat. Sauce buffet has cooked veggies & egg rolls too. Beer was a good price even. Love that. We had 4 beers, 2 lunches, & I took home a full set (which I love that you can do). Spent $100 plus tip. Not bad at all! I’ll definitely be back soon. Thanks

Such a fun meal! If you haven’t tried hot pot, you get a pot of broth, and then you add veggies, noodles, and meat/fish/sea food.
Our server Sherry did a great job guiding us on the broths and meats she thought we would enjoy. Everything was fresh and delicious! I will say when we arrived all of the dishes in the conveyer belt were covered, but towards the mid-point of the meal most dishes were not covered.
At the end of the meal we had the bubble waffle and ice cream, which I highly recommend!

Came here with a large party on a very busy Saturday night for AYCE hot pot. The servers were great, but maybe they’re still working out the kinks with the workflow. It took a long while for our soup base to come out, at least 20 mins. Then when we ordered the 2nd round of meats, it took another long while for the little train to deliver to our table, so long that we thought they maybe forgot our order. There was one dessert option that’s included with AYCE, which ran out and we also had to wait a long while for them to replenish it. Other dessert options are available on the menu for extra charge. The rotary itself had limited selections, with small quantities per bowl, such as 2-3 quail eggs/ bowl and 3 shrimps/ bowl. You’d have to grab a lot of bowls off the belt to get your cravings filled.
Took off 1 star for the slow service. You have 1.5hrs to eat (if I remember correctly), so waiting to get extra rounds of food took away from the allotted time. The staff didn’t rush us though, despite being fully packed for the night.
Took off 1 more star because when we received our bill, there were additional charges for specific soup bases (extra $5 each). Additionally, ordering 2 soup bases per pot was extra $5 each pot. We didn’t know they were going to charge extra for ordering 2 soup bases per pot either, I definitely didn’t see that mentioned on the menu or by our server.
Overall was too expensive and slow for me, with limited options (i.e. desserts, veggies) compared to other AYCE hot pot places I’ve been to.

So many great veg and non-veg options delivered straight to your table via a fun conveyor system. The broth options and make your own sauce bar are great! You have a 90 min timer with all you can eat and there are a ton of seating options along the conveyor for both small and large parties. Do not recommend wearing a white shirt in the event of accidental splatter. It’s important to note that they don’t take reservations for parties less than 8 people so get here early! Will be returning!

Been wanting to come here and now the weather is perfect… Such a wonderful beautiful place, and rotary hot pot is such a fun idea! Great variety of fresh delicious sides in small tasting portions to try everything. Quality meats cut in uniform thin easy to cook slices (we had pork belly, brisket, beef short plate, chicken). Delicious broths to choose from (we tried one mushroom, one kimchee). Fantastic courteous service from Niama who explained everything so well and took good care of us. And ideal place to book a party or celebration in their private rooms. The only thing I wished for more of was another stomach ! And the price was amazing for the great variety and quantity of food. They had lotus root, dumplings, taro, watercress among the many sides. They also had boba teas and smoothies but I had no room today. Come to indulge! Excellent *

This is a new and fun place to eat where you cook your selections at your table. You order your soup base and whatever meats you want and then you add to that by picking dishes off a continuously moving conveyor belt that passes right by your table. They have a wide selection of add-ons ranging from a variety of different vegetables to meatballs and shrimp. When your meat order is ready it arrives delivered by a train car on a different conveyor which is also at the side of your table. Very cute and fun.
There’s also a separate area near the front of the restaurant where you self-serve different appetizer dishes like mini egg rolls and other small bite items.
Surface is very fast and the staff were really nice. The only negative I have to report is that they didn’t forewarn us that once you choose your soup base you cannot change to a different one without an upcharge even though it is a buffet style restaurant.

This visit was my first coming here. The food was absolutely delicious. My kimchi soup base was unlike any other! Lea and Sherry were very attentive, always stopping by to make sure we didn’t need anything. It’s always nice to have your cup of water full instead of having to ask! They made our experience even better and we look forward to coming back (hopefully with them both as our servers).
