Small dinner party of three. First time for me. It was an interesting and tasty experience. Staff is very pleasant. The service is quick You order all your ingredients on a tablet with a maximum of two servings of seafood per person. You have the option of a hot broth cooker or large grill plate or both. We did both. $44 per person and everything is included minus the tip. There is a buffet table of fried shrimp, fried vegetable rolls, french fries and some other Asian items. There are two large tables of spices, freshly chopped vegetables, sauces, etc to be used in your dishes mainly for the broths. There are a handful of broth choices that can be ordered. We each picked a different one. We ordered various cuts of pork, beef and six different seafood options.
Everything was fresh and you grill or cook it yourself in whatever broth you picked. I didn’t see any rice options. There are a few noodle options available. All other ingredients are unlimited. But there is a $14 per pound wastage fee if you over order and do not eat what you ordered. There are two refrigerator with drinks and two freezers with ice cream and fruit bar pops. Plenty of options. Will come back again. Come check them out.

Another Hot Pot & BBQ spot. This time with a robot as a food runner. It’s a mix of a Hot Pot place with Umi buffet with lots of the same trees and a fridge full of drinks. There is a small amount of hot food aside from what you cook. There is a better selection of seafood but with rules like you can only pick the lobster once and 2 orders of any of the “special” seafood items by each person, with an order of the “Big Headed Shirmp” that only comes with just ONE SHIRMP.
There is also a SPECIAL running where they’ll give you 2 Lobster cooked with ginger and scallon when you have 4 or more to your party, which should mean you can get 1 if you are a party of 2 but wasn’t the case. So unfortunately, we didn’t qualified for.
Also there weren’t any menus to see the prices for Hot Pot, Hot Pot + BBQ, weekday prices, or kid’s prices. We only notice the price when we were done eating and received the bill ($40 for the Hot Pot). We ordered everything from a tablet and there weren’t any tabs to click on to check anything other than the food items.
For dessert, my buddy had the cheese cake which he thought was good for an AYCE/BUFFET type place. There were some basic fake ice cream in a lil cup which is a bit so so (6-7). But then there is a fridge full of Häagen-Dazs Almond Ice Cream bars which was awesoooome!!
All and all, the food was decent. But I would love it if they had a bigger pot for sharing when both are having the same both/soup, bigger bowls for eating, more sauces to personalize the both/soup, 2 orders of any and every one of the special seafood per person instead of just 2 orders per person, and maybe a 1 Ginger Scallon Lobster per every 2 guess offer instead of 2 Lobsters but for a 4 guess minimum.

Came here with a friend and enjoyed my lunch. There is a nice variety of meats and veggies to choose from for the hot pot or BBQ. Sauce bar is ample but the dessert and side bar is a bit lacking. They give you nice portions of whatever you order to the table. The restaurant is large and nicely decorated and staff is attentive. Would definitely go back.

Worst experience! For $45 you can go to other places for better food
– Hotpot food options are very limited as most hot items are marked as sold out (abalone, lobster, razor clams,..) and they have only 1 type of beef, lamb and chicken.
– My party has 7 people but we didn’t get any free lobster as advertised, even though I saw other tables with less people and still got the lobster?
– The bbq meat and seafood are not fresh and are marinated very salty and strong flavor that you don’t even taste the meat or seafood.
– The picture here is how they give us veggie to eat with the bbq like how can you eat bbq with such bad veggie? The veggie that they use to decorate the meat dish is even more fresh than this one.
– Call staffs multiple times to change the grill but nobody come.

This place was great! I will definitely be back. Could have used a few more food selections but this still was a great experience. I’ll be back again for sure.

A bit on the pricier side for ayce in general but lots of options. It’s a really good deal if you are a seafood fan – you get a free lobster per every 2 guests.

This place opened end of 2024 I been wanting to go check it out. Finally made my way there tonight with couple friends to try out. We went on a Monday night there was no wait at all. We got seated right away. It’s $40 ayce either hot pot of bbq. If you want to do both it’s extra $4. Every 2 people gets a free lobster that comes with the hot pot option. Since we had 4 people we were getting 2 lobsters. Instead of getting it raw you have the option for the to cook it in the kitchen stir fried with ginger and scallion. In addition to the lobster they have some items that are consider as specialty items which everyone is allow to choose 2 which are not unlimited. All the ingredients were decent quality except for the shrimp paste we didn’t really care for. After we cook it it’s supposed to have this “bouncy” texture but instead it tasted kinda soft/mushy. Drinks are also included in the price. They have a good selection of drinks from Asian drinks to soda. In addition you can enjoy some hot rice dumpling dessert or ice cream. This review is only for hot pot as we did not opt for the bbq

Decided to try this place since I always see it around the plaza I go to. The experience was okay overall felt a little awkward with not much communication. There were only about 2-3 people in the restaurant, and the food took a bit to come out. But I’ll give credit where it’s due the food itself was well made and had great flavor

Ordering special seafood is limited to 2 kinds per adult for the entire meal. Which is crazy for what your paying for. There are plenty of hotspot places don’t do this. Limited seafood. Not everything is really too fresh. Discoloring on the livers. Shrimp paste is full of starch fillers. Worst taste from all the places I been to. Soup base is way too salty, a lot of food was not too fresh. Only thing that was good was the beef. Not worth the price. Don’t waste your money here.

Easily the best AYCE hot pot joint I’ve been to. Usually all you can eat equates to tiny portions of sub-quality meats (translation: having to order over and over wasting time), but not here. The portions are very generous and nicely presented! The sauce bar and beverage cooler are well stocked with a nice drink selection including jasmine tea in a bottle! They even have Haagen dazs ice cream! Easy to order on a tablet, excellent service. Waitress explained everything perfectly! It’s also a really pretty space, clean, with a dedicated kid’s play area. Highly recommended!
