My group and I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was amazing with a variety of options for you to choose for the hotpot. We also did the BBQ as well and we all love it. Staffs were also very nice and always check on us making sure we had our drinks and broth filled. Will definitely come back.

It was a great experience! I was there at grand opening, everything was phenomenal, everything tasted amazing with lots of varieties to choose from as well as having the ability to make your own sauce! I think the only small thing that was a con was sometimes when talking to the waiters/waitress it is a bit hard to understand as well as the bbq, I was expecting the bbq to get cooked in front of us on a grill, but the bbq is still really good! Loved the bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful, always checking up on you, asking if you need more or help with anything. Definitely try it out!

I have to say the food was excellent. It isn’t your usual type where the server brings everything to you by orders. I had the bone broth and my wife had the spicy marrow broth.
It is buffet style. Most of the items on the menu you have to go get yourself on an island in the middle. The only items you have to ask for the servers to get from the kitchen are the proteins (chicken, beef, pork, lamb), grilled BBQ, and snacks. They have a variety of sauces that you can mix to make your own sauce for dipping your cooked protein or veggies in.
For an additional $5 per person, you can opt in for the unlimited grilled BBQ (which me and my wife did) that comes right out of the kitchen fully cooked for you already, so NO GRILLING is needed to be done.
The staff was great for the 2nd day of opening. Even though most of them aren’t fluent in English, they were very attentive and willing to teach/show you how to eat hot pot if it’s your first time.
Overall, the experience was great. My wife and I had a great time there.

This is my second time in Manitowac, and I was pleasantly surprised to find an all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant here. It’s $25.99 per person, with an additional $5 for ayce BBQ. The food is very fresh, and there are plenty of options. I chose the tomato broth, and the tomato flavor was rich. It was delicious! Unfortunately, I’m only staying in this city for two days, but I will definitely come back next time!

Just ate here and wow, my family and I had a lovely time.
We had no idea what to do with hot pot but that was no impediment, the server was helpful with any questions we had, and just the right level of attentive.
The selection of foodstuffs available was good; plenty of different veggies, proteins, and starches, enough for my family with our three very different tastes to all find something worth having. We even had three different broths.
I will bring my mother in law back here when I need to impress her.

We brought my husband’s grandma here last night for her birthday (she’s originally from Japan and loves to find new places with authentic Asian style food) and we had a fantastic time. The food is incredibly fresh and there was no shortage of anything. Plenty of diverse ingredients from vegetables to meats and seafood. The appetizers were delectable as well, and make sure you try the crab Rangoon! They’re better than any restaurant in the area! The staff was also super accommodating as we also brought our 17-month old son, and he just loved interacting with them. This will definitely be a place in our rotating lineup of places to go to eat!!!
The only two reasons for 4 stars that I have is the headless shrimp is not deveined which is kind of unsightly, and there are no recommended cooking times for things. For example, the thin slices of meat should take only a few seconds but we had no idea how long to cook things like the fish balls or some of the vegetables like the lotus root.
Overall, I highly recommend this place. The staff & service is fantastic, and the food is absolutely delicious. I’m already excited for our next visit!!!

$35 per per person, regardless if you have 1 plate or 10. Buffet style cook your own food yourself at your table, hope you know how to cook this kind of food! You have a 2 hour time limit. If you leave more than 8oz on your plate, you can’t take it home with you and you are charged extra for that food you weren’t able to finish. Oh and the balls…. STAY AWAY FROM THE BALLS
