I had a great experience at JIYU.
The food quality is really good and there’s a lot of variety to choose from. The broth was flavourful, and I loved the sauce bar with so many options to mix and match. The dessert choices were unique too, which was a nice surprise.
I also really like that they offer individual mini hot pots so everyone can pick their own soup base. It’s perfect when you’re dining with a group and want different flavours.
The only small thing was that my soup (I chose a different base from the rest of my group) didn’t get refilled, while the others had theirs refilled twice. It probably just got overlooked.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back again!

Great hot pot place! Came here with my family and we loved it. Especially, the mango sticky rice! I would come here just for that. The other desserts aren’t as good but still very pleasant. Overall, a bit expensive but worth it. There’s lots of variety and the beef tastes delicious. The diy sauce bar is great. Love the premade Thai sauces as well.

One of the cleanest washrooms I’ve ever seen in a restaurant, which immediately stood out. The milky broths are rich, fragrant, and very comforting. I especially loved the coconut milk broth. The desserts were also great, and it was a nice surprise to see matcha ice cream on tap. They’ve now switched to an all-you-can-eat format instead of ordering items separately like before, which makes the experience even better. Overall, great food, great value, and a very enjoyable meal with lots of options

The food here is similar to other AYCE restaurant, but the protein and veggies a bit fresher than the other. Anyway, if there service a bit better it gonna be great. We order a bunch of things for first round and it did not come together in full. We have waited for 20 minutes but it’s still not bring out yet. So we have to oder again and again. So it good food, maybe a little bit consistency and take a look carefully at our order gonna be better.

Totally blew my expectations away! The decor is super sleek, classy, and clean. Even during the busy lunch hour, it’s not too noisy, and everything’s super organized. If you’re here for lunch, go for the solo hot pot set—tons of sauces, all-you-can-eat desserts, and great value for money. You’ll be stuffed! For dinner, the 3-4 person set is the way to go—curry crab is a must-try! Had a great dining experience here, definitely coming back!

The portions are small so make sure to order enough in the first round. You can do a second round but I think that’s it. Unlimited desserts and dipping sauce. What makes this a Thai hot pot place? I would say the soup bases and dipping sauces. Decent enough quality for AYCE.

Fantastic Thai hotpot experience! The ingredients were top-notch—especially the generous portions of thinly sliced, high-quality meats and fresh greens. The two-broth pot was a flavorful hit. The dining environment is beautiful, featuring calming green plants as decoration, which made for a relaxing and fun time with my friend. Great food, great ambiance. Highly recommend!

I’ve been here a few times now since I first heard about it a year or two ago. Pretty much a standard AYCE hotpot place with the added appeal of a dessert bar and the Thai soup bases.
My girlfriend and I got lunch sets, which includes a personal pot, 1 meat, 1 veggie platter, a choice of noodle or rice, and access to the dessert bar. This was 21.95 per person.
If you’re going to come here, I would definitely recommend the coconut soup broth (which is delicious to first drink a small spoonful of before even indulging in the normal hotpot experience). While you’re not going to find any super premium land meat cuts here, they have a compelling selection of seafood choices. Paired with the unlimited dessert bar (puddings, mini cakes, jellies, soft serve), I would say it’s definitely worth the value.

The lunch special is such a good deal! $22 for a soup base, a plate of meat of your choosing, a big bowl of veggies and a noodle or rice AND unlimited dessert.
Everything was so delicious and the sauces to choose from were great too.
Beautiful aesthetics as well! Highly recommend!
