This is my go-to spot for hotpot. While it’s not the most ideal location, the restaurant makes up for it with excellent service, consistently delicious broth, and a cozy, relaxed interior. The portions are generous, and their all-day 5‑item special is a fantastic deal with reasonable pricing. I especially appreciate the wide selection of sauces, which makes customizing your meal fun and flavorful. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone who loves hotpot!

I absolutely love this place! It's my favorite hot pot place on the city! We go so often that the severs know us and we always feel welcomed. If I'm being honest it's not the best location as the shelters are right there, but its nice to see the community come and support the business as it can get busy some days, especially at dinner time.

The location is not the best, but if you can get past the crowd and the front door it's worth it.

We came late at night, right before the kitchen was about to close (which we didn't know about until we walked in). And we also came with a very large group. Honestly they had all the reason to kick us out, but the staff took care of us regardless. Since we were late we just picked the soup broth and 5 add-on's.

I got the Herb and Lamb broth. It was delicious, savory, and hearty. And for the add-on's, I picked the sliced Beef Sirloin, Enoki Mushroom, Napa Cabbage, Fried Tofu and Flat Rice Noodles. They didn't have Fried Tofu so I asked to substitute for Fried Bean Curd instead. Looking back at this now, I'm glad (and I'm sure the kitchen was too) that we only picked 5 things. AYCE would've been too much and too overwhelming with all the options there. And honestly, they gave us so much for the 5 things we ordered. It was a whole spread of meat and veggies. I was actually very impressed.

Portion size was huge. I was also impressed by the service we received. It was late, but they really took care of us as patrons. It's a 4.5/5 for me. Definitely one of the best service I've received at a sit-down restaurant/food business and I wish this place success.

Hands down, best hotpot in Edmonton.

Got it delivered so can't speak to atmosphere, but i gave 5 stars for service because they're packaging is so clever. It has the noodles separate from the broth so they don't get waterlogged!

And the food is SO good. the spicy IS spicy!

One of the best garlic cucumber salads I've had. They cucumbers weren't smashed, but it was still excellent and very flavorful.

I could feel the burn on my tongue from Sizchuan pepper, but it wasn't overpowering.

This is my go-to spot for hot pot. The variety of sauces is fantastic, and the soup bases are always delicious. Plus, the prices are very reasonable.

The best hot pot in town! Lovely staff, great food and value ⭐️

So many broth options!

Food was delicious with lots of variety and options!

They took us in really fast and the food was served fast
