One of the wife favorite eating spots especially for cold days. We frequent this location a couple times a month. Your best bet for no or short wait is weekday lunch. Followed by weekday dinner. Weekends are generally busy. As you can guess, winter time or cold days are more busy as well. Also, Lunch order comes with a free drink.

I brought my family to dinner at 13:47 on October 3, 2024. The service quality and attitude of the waiter Frank can be described as garbage. I am not sure whether the guests can just jump in the queue after signing in and going out for a walk when they come back. Is it reasonable? Rubbish

Really tasty and great value. Shout out to Victoria, she took care of our large table and made sure we were all happy. There was a very rude customer outside while we were waiting for our table and she was kind and nice the whole time.

The bowls were drenched in some sort of bleach? I think I almost puked inhaling this. When I asked if I can get some tissues to wipe it off, they ignored me. So I ended up having to clean it with water myself. I still smelled the bleach when I was eating lol. Waitress was rude, she kept giving us side eye when we asked whether we can change to instant noodles. So terrible I guess?

I recently visited this restaurant, and I have to say the experience was incredibly disappointing. The food was decent, but the attitude of the server, Sabrina, completely ruined the lunch. My friend arrived about 15 min earlier than me and told another server one more person would be a little late, and they seemed to be fine with that. When I arrived and was ready for order, she said I cannot order with my friends table, it was already closed and I needed to line up for the table again. It is hard to believe customer cannot order additional food after taking the first time order. And if they do have the rule, the staff should explain clearly when my friend was ordering food. After we checked again with another male server, she came again and asked what we would like to add to the order, so clearly, theres no such a rule of no additional food and I dont know why she came up with that. She gave off a clear vibe that she couldnt care less about providing good service. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but Sabrinas attitude was unacceptable. If this is the type of service they allow, I wont be returning. Its a shame because the food wasnt bad, but I cant justify going back when the staff treats customers like theyre a burden.

My go to comfort food! I always order the All Beef, non-spicy. I tried the spicy version once, and it was too hot for me. I also add fried tofu skin. I like the Soy Garlic sauce. The staff is friendly. They charge 45 cents if you ask for a small container to take some sauce home.

Taiwanese hotpot place . (Not all you can eat). Always seems to have a group waiting outside the store. Good flavor. Big portions. You may be able to share one pot between 2 persons if you both are not big eaters. Worth to try.

Fun place to eat with friends. I love the variety in a single pot and how big it is! If you are not super hungry, you can share a bowl with another. I ordered the Taiwanese Spicy and the flavor is bold enough, yet not too crazy (well I am Thai so I might have a high heat tolerance). What I appreciate the most though is the variety of ingredients, in my cases, the pork intestine and pork blood. It is quite fulfilling to eat those authentic and difficult-to-cook items like that. In any event, we enjoy this place and would love to come back. Oh if you come here early, you can avoid the crowd.

I love this all in one hot pot place. Their combinations are just right with the right flavors mixed in. Make your own dipping sauce for the contents, and it takes it to another level! My go-to hot pots are the lamb, beef, and milk curry. I also like the house special. Theres lots of stinky tofu and pig blood cubes in it! Yum! If you come to during lunch time, its cheaper and comes with tea, black or green. The prices have gone up a lot due to the crazy inflation, but its still one of the best deals around these days for a fulfilling, tasty hot pot combo! Come early and avoid the busy times, or youll wait a long time here!

I and my friend ordered to go, and I saw there s a hair in her bowl, which doesn t belong to any one of us. My friend has really long dark hair, mine is really short. The hair we found was shoulder length and somewhat brown. We called the store and they said they could only make us a new one. Who wants anything more from them after seeing something so disgusting, and they said we can only call customer service for the refund, which we have to wait till (we ordered ob Saturday) Monday when customer services is working. This is ridiculous that the store cannot make refund directly to the customer. they were making excuses that the front desk who worked in the earlier shift has logged out of the system, therefore the money has been put into the system and not able to refund . my first time hearing about it. Definitely not coming back.

Definitely never coming back to this restaurant or any other of their locations. First of all , the food is terrible . Second, I literally stood in front of the cash register to pick up an online order and the person operating the register didn t even look up at me and continued finicking with the computer. Didn t say ill be right with you , no hello, nothing. Furthermore, at least 6 other employees didn t acknowledge my existence whatsoever. I stood there for 5 minutes before saying hello? I m here to pick up an online order . Terrible customer service.

We made a reservation for 5 people and then we waited for 20 minutes outside. We couldn t take it anymore so we went to a local store. When we got back it was about 1:14 pm and we were just standing inside for about 15 more mins until my friend complained to a waiter we were here for the reservation. Then the waiter came to get us at 2:26. She said that we had to leave because we were 10 minutes late for our reservation. We then explained that we were here at 2:14 but she said we had no proof and we had to leave. I looked inside the restaurant and there were 2 tables of 6 vacant. But we were still kicked out because as the waiter said we were late. So in summary, the waiters needs to pay more attention to their customers and not just look outside the window to see if they are late or not. I hope this doesn t happen to anyone else.

Overall we had a great experience here and will definitely be returning. If you re in the neighborhood I would recommend you give them a try.

Had the beef soup, the meat were good, and while the soup was moderately hot, the heat added no actual flavor. The broth was not impressive. The beef soup certainly wasnt bad, but it wasnt amazing, and its not inexpensive.

I used to like this place, Ella is a great server and is always great at getting you right! Unfortunately I will no longer be returning here since not all the employees are as great. Deborah alone has no good work ethic and overall her customer service skills are lacking. Maybe it had more to do with my ethnic background because I was constantly getting overlooked even after asking multiple times for minimal requests.

The hotpot is some of the best casual hotpot, especially when youre in a mood for something simple and very decently priced. They serve the hotpot already made, so you cant really customized it but you can add more on top of it. While this is quite a downside, the price for each hotpot selection is more than fair enough to add whatever you desire to it after that.

Ordered beef hot pot and not spicy. Came out tasty! It was great for a cold night! Minor improvement on service as I requested to add more soup and fire for my hot pot. A waitress responded, but she walked towards another table to take ordered. I had to ask another waitress to help me. Not a deal breaker. Will come back again!
