This is one of my new favorite hotpot places! It's pretty affordable for AYCE lunch, and you can get drinks, ice cream, and customizable sauce! I love the selection for your hotpot, and I recommend the Spicy House broth. Service was great, even though a lot of it was self-service. The inside was clean, spacious, and busy when we went, with lots of families enjoying their food.

I'm not a fan of hotpot, but if I do it, this is my favorite spot. Good amount of food selections, standard sauces, and a few Chinese dishes like their green onion pancake and rice porridge. They also offer free drinks and ice cream, although really bare-bones. Their service is always attentive and love the location, about 5 minutes away. What puts it over the top is that they have karaoke. Not the widest library, but hey, food and karaoke? Sounds like a fun evening.

Plenty of parking in the lot on a weekday for lunch, were able to get seated right away. We came for a birthday lunch, if you come with a party of 4+ and show ID you get a free birthday meal! AYCE weekday lunch is $25, and that includes the soup base, meats, seafood, vegetables and sides, appetizers, soft drinks, desserts, and the sauce bar. A good deal, and the portions are all quite big. For a hot pot place, their appetizers (all Chinese restaurant-type dishes) are solid, especially the honey glazed prawns and the green onion pancakes! I like that you can choose two soup bases in a split pot, which was big enough for the 4 of us to use. Out of everything, I thought that the meat quality was alright but not great, and I thought it was interesting that they gave you portions based on your party size (we ended up with larger portions of some meats than we would've ordered ourselves). Overall, a good place to fill up on hotpot!

Dropped by on a whim with friends on a Wednesday night and it was still buzzing at 9pm! It's not super fancy, but it's huge. The drinks, ice cream, and variety of sauces are such a steal for the price. The unlimited drinks are a game-changer, especially with Hawaiian Sun flavors! Love how everyone gets creative with their own sauce combos. The pot is way bigger than most hot pot places, so you can load it up with tons of stuff. They even have half-and-half broth options! There are so many choices for meats, veggies, and other hot dishes, plus different kinds of noodles. Service is quick and efficient, though not the friendliest. They bring out your orders, but everything else is self-serve: rice, sauces, drinks, and ice cream. You can't beat the value for all you get. The variety is what wins me over! Can't wait to come back for my hot pot fix.

There was no line at 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday, so we were quickly seated. You can pick up 2 broths. They have a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. They also have some cooked items as well. We quickly marked our order on the paper menus and then visited the sauce bar. They offered lots of sauce options with add-ins. I liked that most of the sauces were still in bottles, not open and exposed. While waiting for our items, we visited the beverage fridge, which is included in all-you-can-drink options. When the order arrived, we noticed some mistakes. They gave us too much of some items and missed others. Recommend the honey shrimp! We wanted to try more, but the portions were so generous that we only ordered once more before having ice cream for dessert. Tip, order 1/2 portions to start. Pay in cash at the end for a slight discount.

They've expanded the all you can eat menu dishes to honey prawns, Szechuan beef slices, squid salad, dumplings, etc in addition to the AYCE hotpot! So good! Go to post workout place or fill up on veggies place. Came without eating anything much during the day because it was busy and had maybe 10 dishes more than the hotpot it self. The red bean ice cream and mango sorbet were pretty good too! Will come back for birthday eat free deal in the future!

Good bucks for bangs if you have a big appetite. Some of their staff are hard to communicate--I asked for a beer and it never got arrived until I asked the others two more times. Ambiance is quite crowded unless you get a table in VIP room. Their free cream and drinks are good for AYCE option.

We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and because we had such a large party, we got one of the VIP rooms that had a huge circular table with 4 pot stoves and karaoke! - PARKING - Large parking lot shared with other businesses, no problem finding a spot! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The regular dining room has several tables if you're not planning on booking a VIP room, but it seemed pretty busy so I would make a reservation if possible! You place your food orders by marking off a paper sheet, and the attendants come by to fulfill your orders. There's a sauce bar that isn't as nicely laid out as some of the other hot pot restaurants I've been to, but it does get the job done with a pretty big selection of choices. They also have a fridge stocked with a variety of drinks, all also included! I thought it was an interesting placement, but there is ice cream at the front if your stomach still has space at the end. - FOOD - Karaoke VIP Room AYCE ($42.99): Our room had 4 pot stoves, and we ended up getting 3 half and half broths and then a half tonkotsu/half spicy miso for the 4th stove. I liked all of the broths for different reasons - glad we had a large party to try them all! I really liked the Prime Beef Slices and the Fatty Beef (Toro). Their Honey Prawns were also good! I was also surprised at how good their raw scallops were - no wonder they were a limited item! We went pretty wild on ordering as we were all so hungry, but do keep in mind they don't ask for quantity - you simply mark off the item on the menu you want and they end up bringing a tray of a random amount! We definitely had leftovers but were not charged for it - not sure if this is standard or if it was due to us booking the VIP room. The only qualms I had were that due to the size of the table, it was pretty hard reaching towards the center or anywhere past an arms length to grab - we ended up having to ask one another to pass things around. I also felt like there were a few songs missing in the karaoke selection that usually are found at other spots! - OVERALL - For what you get included and the quality of the food, the price is pretty good! I would definitely think about coming back here if I'm ever in the area again!
