I was really excited to come here since the Google photos look so good. I came in around 9 pm, there was about 5 tables eating. The host was pretty informative and nice. When going to the sauce bar, it was filthy (even if it's near closing hours it would be nice if they cleaned it up) the raw jalapenos looked not only old but putrid/slimy, green onions and cilantro looked days old. But I noticed this too late Our table was oily and dirty. The wall was splattered with grease and bits of food(staff was standing around while our dinning experience I feel like they could have cleaned up a bit)
Lastly because of this experience I been stomach sick since Saturday. Im sorry to say but I probably won't go back nor recommend. But I hope they take this into consideration.

This place was awesome!! We went in for our first time yesterday, and the food is exceptional with good service and prices. All you can eat and they have vegetarian/vegan options! 😌🙏🏽

Soup was super bland and not flavorful at all. Tastes mostly like water. Food was also not fresh, the only good thing was the vegetables, seafood was fishy

Came here for the AYCE all-you-can-eat hot pot ($30.99 per adult), and while the concept is good, the quality is not.
Pros: Ordering off the iPad was convenient and easy. Staff was friendly, attentive, and readily available. Decent variety: meats, seafood, tofu, veggies, noodles, and rice all covered.
Cons: Quality was underwhelming. Some items were canned goods or low-grade (meat, seafood, noodles). The meat wasn’t the best cut, and you can tell from both taste and texture.
I even started feeling a bit allergic by the end of the meal, possibly due to the quality or preservatives in some ingredients.
Tried 4 different soup bases, and unfortunately, none stood out, they were all pretty bland.
Overall, this place delivers on quantity but falls short on quality. You get what you pay for, and in this case, it's more about the AYCE novelty than a memorable hot pot experience.

My friend and I tried the lunch AYCE. We tried the seaweed, tomyum, tonkatsu and sechun. We don’t like the sechun which is so oily and not that much flavorful. The meat are so good, vegetables are fresh and service is fast. With the price, the AYCE is good option however they do not have that much food items to order. I like the way they offer that we can choose four soup.

Typically the service is a 10/10 the woman who attended us really just did the bare minimum and wasn’t really having us debate just leaving. She had like dirty blinde hair and just passive aggressive like she didn’t wanna be there. The other woman was nice and actually check up on us we tipped her but tbh she should have kept it all. 7/24/2025

I came here for lunch with some friends but we paid the dinner price at 30$ because the lunch price cut down on a lot of good stuff. The concept is fun to have 4 different broths and you could order as much as you want for your pots. I’m not sure why, but it was very salty that day and it just didn’t taste as good as OC Lau or Boiling Point. I will most likely not return.

As a buffet restaurant, the only pre-dinner snacks are oranges. The water in the pot is boiled very slowly, so you can only eat some oranges before the dishes are put into the pot. Because the meat slices are cut very thickly, the taste is much worse than the meat slices in normal hotpot restaurants. There are also very few types of dishes that can be ordered. I really like the self-pickup mode of regular hot pot restaurants, rather than the stingy ordering mode. What was even more unacceptable was that there were no labels on each condiment box. I thought my condiment was authentic salty sesame sauce, but what I ended up eating was disgustingly sweet. After eating a lot of food, I had to give up and leave. A bit disappointed.

I just called to see if they give gift cards/certificates because I needed to purchase four of them. The girl who answered the phone had no idea what I was talking about! The food is wonderful and the service is great, but I was a bit taken back when she had no idea what I was talking about. Almost all restaurants that I go to have gift cards or certificates to give as a gift to someone. Shocked! PS: I would have given a five star, except this, disappointed me.

Located in the heart of OC but in the city of Westminster, talking about one stomach filling experience! For the price of $35 for dinner service, probably the best in town. Why? Very simple, besides from serving great broths, seafood, tofus, vegetables and dipping sauce selections; they have Wagyu beef! Can't beat that with a baseball bat!! Go 2024 LA Dodgers BTW!! Definitely a recommendation with today's stiff economy but walking away feeling totally satisfied for them cold nights.
