I've been wanting to try this place out for a while. I'm always on the hunt for a good hot pot place. After seeing a bunch of friends go here and also talk about this place, we decided to try it out on a Saturday afternoon.
We got there around 4:00 and luckily did not have to wait for a table. By the time we finished our meal, there was already a decent wait list.
It's all you can eat hot pot and you can either do an individual pot, individual pot with bbq, or you can do a group pot. I went with the individual pot and got the miso. Ordering is pretty straightforward, you just mark on the menu and they will bring out enough for the table. You can also apparently order half orders, which is nice because sometimes your entire table is not interested in eating the item that you want.
They have a really great variety of items as well as sides. Some highlights I would recommend are the biang biang noodles, fried bean curd, shaved noodles, pork and veggie dumplings, and really any of the meats! Definitely end your meal with the fried buns with condensed milk.
There is a large parking lot adjacent from the restaurant come up but there is also street parking. I can't get very busy so either try to make a reservation or show up a little bit early.
Although $35pp plus tips and taxes might seem a lot of money, you're paying to eat a wide variety of good quality food you couldn't make available yourself at home. The meats are all high quality as is the seafood and vegetables. My husband reported that the only item he wouldn't have again is the pig's blood as the texture is a bit rough. But all else was excellent. We didn't eat any appetizers because we were already more than satisfied with the selection for hot pot. The staff are friendly and helpful. And we got (matcha) ice cream for dessert. There's really nothing not to like about this restaurant and every reason for us to go again. Having said that, if you're looking for a place where you can sit down and catch up with old friends, this is not it. There is a 90 minute (or so) limit.
Very good food. Good service. Recommended.
Great convenient location, food selection, ample parking, and overall service.
There's a parking lot in the adjacent plaza (across the street) and ample street parking. It is also a block away from the ocean for a good wall after eating.
It is an a you can eat place that offers shared pot (traditional) and individual pot and grill option! They take reservations for parties of 6 or more. Reservation options for shared large pot (can split into two different soup bases) or individual pot/grill combo. Keep in mind that individual pot options are more difficult to come by as they go fast.
Don't miss the tasty appetizer options! Make sure to go for the ribs! Amazing amount of choices.
$35/person AYCE. You won't be disappointed.
Great spot for hot pot! The food was excellent and the staff was attentive and friendly. They don't keep you waiting on food, running out the clock like some places. Definitely coming back for more!
