Reviews
We tried the Sichuan and tom yum soup bases.
The dipping sauce station was nice with good variety including mushroom sauce, satay sauce, chilli crisp, hoisin sauce, ponzu etc.
The fishballs with roe, cuttlefish and fish tofu were my the favorite sides.
Imo food quality was similar to hidilao.
Service was prompt and friendly.
Decor is modern and minimal. You get your own personal hotpot so everyone doesn’t have to have consensus on a single soup base. Imo this is a major selling point over having hotpot at home.
Will probably be back.
When we were seated, the waiter gave us a tablet to place our order. We went with The Classic Plate, which you can choose two broths, three types of meats, three sides, two rice or noodles, and one veggie platter for $75.
For the broths, we chose Buttery spicy and Tom Yum. Our meats were Wagyu Beef Toro, New Zealand Lamb, Prime Black Angus Beef Short Ribs for the meats. For sides, we had the Black Tiger Shrimp (Shell On), Beef Tripe and Shrimp Paste, along with the House Ramen and the Udon Noodle.
Both broths tasted amazing. The Buttery Spicy broth had great depth, it wasn’t just spicy, but also fragrant with a slight numbling sensation. The Tom Yum tasted really good as well that bringing out the flavor of the meat without being too greasy.
The meat quality was pretty good, sliced into a nice thickness and held together well while cooking. Highly recommended!
*Parking can be difficut, but there is a plaza across the restaurant with plenty of free parking if you don’t mind a 5 min walk.
I had tried the yuzu shio my second visit and I think it’s my favorite! The second visit we ordered the beef short rib, chuck and wagyu again. Out of those, I enjoyed the chuck the most.
We also always get a grape slushy with milk foam drink that is really refreshing and pairs pretty well with the meaty hot pot! Overall, we were stuffed by the end, and the value was pretty good for the amount of extra sides and drink we ordered in addition to the set. Would love to come back!
The interior surprised me on my first visit. It’s got this sleek, modern design that feels a few notches fancier than the price point suggests. The entire experience runs through QR codes, from adding yourself to the waitlist to ordering at your table. You can even join the waitlist before arriving, though frustratingly you can’t reserve ahead through Yelp. The minimal staff interaction does make me wonder about the tipping structure, but the system is undeniably efficient.
Now, the food. The meat quality here is exceptional across all tiers, but if you’re feeling indulgent, spring for the white snow wagyu A5. I’m a chef and I’ve tasted plenty of high-end beef, this stuff melts on your tongue with that buttery richness that makes you close your eyes. The vegetable selection is equally impressive, fresh and varied, which elevates the whole experience beyond just being about the proteins. The sauce station offers enough variety to keep things interesting across multiple visits.
My wife, family, and I have made this our regular spot. Fair warning though, wait times swing wildly. Sometimes it’s a 30-minute wait, other times you walk right in. Check peak hours before heading over.
The Bay Area needs more spots like this. Seriously, anyone want to open one with me in Alameda?
All the ingredients were super fresh: beautifully sliced meats, plenty of veggies, mushrooms, and a great selection of sauces and condiments. The broth was rich and flavorful, and everything cooked perfectly in just a few seconds. Portions are generous and the presentation is on point.
Overall, an excellent hot pot experience. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and very fair pricing. Definitely coming back!
The food came out quickly, and any requests were handled promptly with a great attitude. You can really tell the staff care about the dining experience, which makes the meal even more enjoyable.
Overall, excellent service combined with good food and a clean environment. Definitely a place I would come back to, mainly because of how great the service was.
The meat quality is excellent and I like that they offer different set options to choose from. The soup bases were the highlight. I had the sukiyaki and my friend tried the tomato, and we both loved our choices. My only wish is that they offered a half-and-half option so I could try more than one in my own pot. The shrimp wasn’t as fresh as I expected, but everything else was delicious.
Another thing I really enjoyed was the sauce bar, you can mix and match to create your perfect dipping sauce. Overall, a great modern hotpot experience and definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.
