Pleasantly surprised by the dining experience at this new waterfront AYCE restaurant in Foster City. The large interior has been completely renovated, and the water views are very nice. You can choose between AYCE KBBQ grill, or hot pot. There’s also a decent al a carte sushi rolls and sashimi menu. Plenty of condiments to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable!! $25/person for lunch and $35/person for dinner…best deal in town. Efficient and friendly service. Large free parking lot.

I like the ambiance, and the decor. I’m not sure what I like more. The ambiance, or the decor.

Although the restaurant itself is very nice looking, they should take care of their Ladies restroom

Waited over 20 minutes just to get a hotpot soup, and no water was provided. We had to remind the staff multiple times, but the soup still took forever. Left hungry and frustrated. Tip: eat something at home first if you plan to come here.

5 stars for price combination, good menu selection, individual hot pots, spacious seating. Recently remodeled with new menu, fast service bring out your selection. Only $3 more for combo bbq/hot pot.
Bad food quality, served wrong dish, nice view - don’t feel worth it

Tastes ok, a tad too sweet. But the meat quality isn't the best, lots of tissue and fatty part.

This is a go to place when we are around the area the scenery is nice and the food is awesome. The servers come to check on us every so often which makes me feel good. The wait time is 0-10 minutes which is better than most places.

Had dinner with my family today—our first visit back in two years. I immediately noticed that the interior had been redesigned, which was a nice touch. However, the overall experience left much to be desired.
When we arrived, the person at the register wasn’t welcoming at all. He didn’t smile, didn’t acknowledge us promptly, and kept his eyes on his computer while my mother—who is in a wheelchair—and I waited for a response. It felt dismissive and unprofessional.
Being a Saturday, the restaurant was understandably busy, and there seemed to be enough staff on the floor. What stood out, though, was a clear divide in work ethic. The Mexican servers were hustling—cleaning, serving, checking on customers constantly. In contrast, the Chinese/Korean staff appeared disengaged, walking around aimlessly, avoiding eye contact, and not responding to customers who clearly needed help.
To top it off, the same person from the register—possibly the manager—was later seen sitting and chatting with a customer instead of overseeing operations. It was disappointing to witness such a lack of coordination and professionalism.
To whoever manages this establishment: please take a closer look at your team and how the floor is being run. There’s a lot of potential here, but it’s being overshadowed by inconsistency and poor service.
