This is our usual go to place for hot pot since its all you can eat. If you never had hot pot before, I suggest going with some friends and with at least one friend that has experienced hot pot before to show you this great experience, which is very simple, basically picking out the ingredients to put in your desired broth choice to cook yourself until it is ready. We had a a party of 5 for a birthday dinner the night we went. We opted for "B" Course, which includes "A" course for more options for us to choose from. We had 2 separate hot pots with 2 different both flavors, chinese herbal beef bone broth, which is like the regular basic broth, and tom yum broth which has a little spice to it but not too over powering. There were many options to choose from for you hot pot. Udon noodles, quail eggs, baby bok choy, watercress, lamb, enoki mushrooms, rib eye, bamboo shoots, pork belly were some of many varieties of food you can get for your hot pot. There are different drink choices as well, we order some bubble tea, I was surprised on how many choices and varieties of bubble tea they offered. Since the night we went had only one waiter taking care of all of the tables, I would say about 5 tables, including ours, we had to wait a little bit for the waiter to take care of us, which is understandable, but overall experience, it was ok, we left there full and happy.
Food was delicious and ranges from Americanized to authentic, and as most Chinese food there are great vegan options (I'd recommend eggplant in garlic sauce, general taos tofu, or mala dry pot)
Come here for the hot pot:
Pros:
Hot pot was very authentic taste wise, with all ingredients made right, a good pot base, and even a sauce bar to customize the hot pot dipping sauce. Beyond the usual meats and veggies, they nailed the 虾滑 (shrimp paste), Udon Noodles, and all Sesame Sauce to customize the dipping. Amazing place for taste.
Cons:
We came on a rainy Tuesday night, which meant we had 1 poor waiter (who was Chinese and very sweet) serving almost around 8 tables. So the restaurant is pretty understaffed, and they ran out of sesame sauce and scallions so we couldn't get more. The materials were also not always fresh, namely their Enoki Mushrooms. Enoki is usually my favorite in hotpot, but the ones we got were clearly not fresh and had a sour taste. Yet everything else we got was very fresh.
Overall, I would recommend to come on a non-crowded time, especially since the hot pot is quite authentic and filling.
