Went for CNY dinner with a party of 6, spent about $30 per person on AYCE, but it was worth it, wide variety of meats and vegetables to choose from on the AYCE menu, sauce bar wasn't necessarily lit up well, hard to see some of the options, but it didn't take away from the experience at all! Great place for hotpot in the East Bay!

Went for lunch time hot pot and it did not disappoint. A little on the quieter side, a better alternative to crowded weekends. Range of food is awesome. Loved the bbq and custard pork buns

Came here because of hotpot buffet almost one hour and the waiter said we cannot order it. Only a la carte was ok to order. We sat and the restaurant was a bit cold but that not the worse part. The worse part is the waiter just land the menu and force us to order immediately while it’s almost an hour before the restaurant will close. This is our first time and of course would be last time for the terrible service I ever have.

We eat for a while and he force us to pay it NOW. I don’t mind and understand that he has to settle the payment and clean everything. So we signed, tip and gave back to him and continue to eat the food BUT he told us right away the restaurant was close
Hello?? From what I saw from Google you close at 10:30 and at that time it’s just 10:05
Whoever wants to visit this place better to run away. Food is not good and the service is suck

The service was so chaotic lol they were messing everything up. The seafood was okay? Not the freshest but acceptable.

Came here since it was close to the hotel I was staying, and it was not good. We ordered ramen, udon and rice and the food is simply not tasty. Wouldn’t recommend

I pass by this place a lot during my lunch walks and finally decided to give it a try. They offer lunch special mini hotpots, and each pot comes with a free drink, a choice of green tea or black tea.

I was seated quickly, and the server took my order right away. The service was friendly and welcoming. Since I knew what I wanted and only had an hour for lunch, I placed my order immediately, knowing it might take some time to prepare.

I had the Szechuan Spicy Pot, which came with beef, fish filet, enoki, tofu, clam, shrimp, cabbage, glass noodles, fish ball, corn, pork blood, and squid balls, and a choice of rice or noodles. The portion-wise was good, and had lots of different ingredients. But the flavor was lacking; Szechuan flavor should have the bold, numbing, and tingling sensation, but I didn't find any from this pot.

My sister got the Satay Beef Pot; the flavor was spot on. So if you are craving spicy, I would not recommend getting their Szechuan Spicy Pot.

I've eaten here for years and usually don't have a problem with ordering until this year.
The first time, the waiter misheard what I said. I order grilled fish, and it ended up being grilled chicken for some odd reason. I didn't ask to fix it and just ate it.

The second time I had learned from the first mistake and MARKED my orders on the menu. So tell me why did the waiter NOT take the menu from my hands that was already MARKED with orders and decided to listen from word of mouth and mark it himself on a second menu? What is the point in giving us markers then? Needless to say, my order was wrong again! It became confusing because I had already marked both orders for my parents and myself. He says he confirmed it with my sibling. He didn't confirm it with me so of course he had my order wrong. I had specifically marked them down and for some reason this waiter thinks verbal ordering is better than checking the menu that was already marked?

I was very upset because I was ravenous by that point, I was craving something spicy and not seafood, and we had to wait a long time for the orders to come out.

Also, it was freezing, but at least the soup warmed us up.

This all you can eat hot pot spot is a hidden gem! The broths were out of this world, one of them was made by cracking open a real coconut and pouring it right into the pot. Portions are huge, the quality is amazing, and it’s all very pocket-friendly. I’m never going back to my old hot pot place after this!

Awesome and delicious.

Over the years, I enjoyed their lunch and dinner. The foods are wonderful, chicken Inagi being one of my favorites. The special spice carriage is fresh and well organized. The hot ports are unbelievably fresh with varieties. More importantly, cleanness and friendly customer service are my attractions. I highly recommend.

Food is over priced and didn’t give a half a pound of anything we ordered besides the shrimp. Most of the clams didn't have anything inside, the shrimp felt almost unwashed and overcooked, and the sauce was essentially just butter. I do not recommend coming here.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My aunt made reservations last Saturday to celebrate her 64th birthday. We arrived and were seated at the table. We waited for an hour and never received service. We stopped two workers to ask for assistance but received no help. We were the only African Americans in the establishment. The staff were helping the other customers in the restaurant but would not help us. We decided to take our business elsewhere. I am leaving this review so others who look like me will know that they do not serve people who look like us there. Take your business somewhere else!
