I came here with some good friends for dinner on a Sunday night. The restaurant was lively but wasn't super crowded. They gave you a little platter of Chicago styled popcorn and green pea snack to munch on as you order and wait for food, which I thought was kind of nice. We got a bunch of food to try - lamb skewers: this was actually slightly disappointing. The skewers weren't very meaty, and there was quite a bit of fat on each skewer. The flavor was decently good though. - beef pancake: this was really good! The pancake was flaky and stuffed with beef - spicy & savory land & sea pot: This wasn't spicy at all, but super loaded with meat - chicken wing, chicken leg, broiled beef, shrimp, and the extra fish which we added. The menu said that it would feed 2-3 people, but we were 4 hungry people yet still couldn't get close to finishing the pot.

Love our meals at this restaurant, service was awesome and food was great. Dan Dan noodle is a must try noodle bowl. Will definitely come back and try other hot pot choices in the menu. Overall great experience.

After walking around the mall, I got hungry and decided to order lunch from here. I ordered the pickled cabbage & fish noodle soup. When I walked in, there were only 2 tables of customers. I was able to get my food in 10-15 minutes. In terms of flavor, I thought the soup was kind of bland and there were no sour flavor coming from the pickled cabbage. I might come back and order something else but it won't be in the near future.

Came for lunch and it was super quiet. Sat outside and enjoyed their Hot & Soup Beef Rice Noodle Soup. Probably the best in had in the area and the servings are LARGE! Staff is very attentive definitely recommend checking this place out.

I came here to for my dad's birthday because he wanted a healthier meal and some noodles. We ordered the Dan Dan noodles, spicy beef noodle soup, spring onion pancake, beef wrap, and the seafood steam pot. Everything was really good! My dad wanted to try the bull frog legs and I personally didn't like that. They gave us complimentary fried buns with condensed milk and a cold jelly dessert which were both delicious. The only annoying part were the small flies eeek! I think they leave the door open to air out the steam pot smell but it also lets flies come in and it kept going into my food. You can order online and the waiter came over often to check on us. I would come back to try the other stuff next time!

I ordered dan dan noodles to go, and it tasted good. The portion is huge. I am interested in eating here again and trying the hot pot. The location is good and next to a big parking lot.

Ingredients are fresh and taste is good, but it's too much portion for small parties. It would be great if they can have mini-pots for 1-2 people, or allow half-order add-ons for DIY pots. They also failed to mark on the menu that all of the BBQ skewers are spicy by default. I had to make a second order with special notes in order to get a non-spicy skewer.

One of the popular restaurant chains originated from China. Authentic Chinese food. We came for lunch with kids on Sunday and it was not crowded at all. Seated near the window with nice views. Excellent service and soothing music. Will come back!

We tried this place 3 times and enjoyed every single time. We love the cold appetizer with cold cut beef and cucumbers. We also love the fish noodle dish. On the second time we tried they Simmer dish. There are a lot of food and tasted very good. A bit too spicy for us, will have try again the next time with less spice

Great place if you’re craving a warm homey dry pot. Build your own pot comes with sweet potatoes, bell peppers, celery, onions, and your choice of other veggies, noodles, and meats. They also have noodle dishes (dry and soup), and appetizers. Highly recommend the beef roll pancake - thick slices of beef in a crispy onion pancake, I’d come back just for that!Ambiance is nice, clean, and service is quick and friendly.

We ordered the beef pot and taste was good but the amount not worth $66. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of what it looked before we ate but I tried showing the level of food with my chopsticks.. ours did not look like anything close to the other beef pot pic shown on the reviews.. when it had meat ...it was 25% filled even though it was a big pot....very decieving. Very small cubes of meat, 5 pieces of the galbi ribs (bones in pic), there were mushrooms wrapped in beef, mostly filled with sweet potatoes, celery, and onions. Does not come with rice. Would not recommend unless ur fine overpaying for your food.My husband's review: it's a good place to come if you have money buy if you have money, there are better places to go
