We got a variety of vegetables and noodles as well. We also got a few pork and shrimp options. Then you select a cooking liquid to use at your table that they bring out. We got the very basic seasoned “clear broth.” I recommend getting that broth, but put into two separate containers at your table (called “Double Flavor Hot Pot” on the menu) so that you can separate ingredients as you wish. For example, use one clear broth container for noodles and the other clear broth container for all your meat.
You dump these ingredients as you want to into the hot simmering broth in front of you so that they cook. Then you pull it out when it’s ready, much like you would at a Melting Pot restaurant. There is a condiment bar for a $1.50 up charge which I highly recommend. For 3 of us including drinks it was less than $50, a great value and we had fun! Will definitely go back.
We didn’t try any of the Bao.
For hotpot, this would be good if you wanted to give it a try or just wanted a bite or two without having to jump in to an AYCE.
To start off the experience, you are given a handheld shopping basket, show the fridges, given the cost per fridge and then you shop away for what you want to eat in your hotpot. You pick all the meats and veggies right there and everything is on plates or containers. Everything is wrapped or in containers that has lids, other than the veggies that are in cups. Once we added all of our items, I don’t feel that this is an overall better value than AYCE. We probably would have eaten another plate or 2 of meat but at that point, it was a pain to go back and pay for another few plates.
The sauce bar is an extra cost per person. It’s okay but not as good as some others in the area. The garlic is sitting in oil and they didn’t have some items. On the other hand, the spice peanut sauce was pretty tasty.
Water too is self service along with the cups. There was a nice waitress who cleaned up our dishes etc… as they piled up.
It’s an okay experience, the food was decent enough but given a choice, I would probably go to one of the AYCE’s that are better in the area.
A cool concept for hot pot, not AYCE, you get a basket and choose your items. Large selection of fresh veggies and meats then you go to counter to choose your soup base where you can also add on Bao’s , the spicy chicken is worth it! Then there’s the sauce bar, it is an extra 2$ but money well spent, as it has far more than just sauce making supplies.
