Came here on Saturday for late lunch and there was no wait. The hot pot dishes were delicious and the owner was very friendly. AYCE is a plus, which is $36.99 for weekends and holidays, $32.99 for weekdays dinners and even cheaper for weekday lunches.

We liked the original spicy soup base and the skewers.

Great hidden gem. My husband and I came here for lunch. I would recommend this place to anyone. Although, everything is mostly self served I love how it was clean and the owner is still attentive to customer service.

The service was great (my wife does all the speaking but the waiter did speak some English). The ma (numbing) broth was very unique and was our favorite over the spicy that we usually trend towards. It has exceptional flavor, a nice floral taste, and that numbness that was advertised.

The meat selection is fun and has what you would expect from hot pot. The skewers were the highlight, I loved that the vegetables bring the stock along so that when you bite in, it tastes like the soup and keeps the meat moist!

The dessert options had a fried mochi with soy sauce glaze and fried mantou that I would've been happy just snacking on without any other food. The place feels like home and doesn't feel very rushed on a calm Sunday evening. It was a nice way to unwind after a busy Sunday.

I came from Asia and missed mala-skewers a lot. I found that amazing place and dinner was very delicious and people were so friendly. I will be back here next time.

Absolutely delicious hotpot with a perfect balance of spice and flavor! The ingredients are fresh, the restaurant is spotless, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommend for hotpot lovers!

Somebody needs to report to food safety…. Came right when they opened on a weekday and everything in the sauce bar is spoiled. Cold dishes were rotten and all the sauces had gone bad. Only 1 person was working in the entire restaurant (include kitchen) so you can imagine the service… all the meet skewers had turned into a dark brown color (instead of red)… I really like this concept of hot pot but they need better management

I dont know where to start.
1) Food - the beef was extremely fatty. We are talking 60% fat on the beef. Broth is extremely spicy to the point around entire group ended up spending a day in the bathroom.
2)Service - the worst service. Im convinced this is run by 2 people that do not know what they are doing. Everything is controlled via an app.

We should have read the previous reviews...never again.
