Fun for a birthday dinner with a large group! For dinner, it's AYCE hot pot with all you can drink included (beer, sake, wine options) for around $40 including tax and tip, so it's a pretty good deal. And if you go on the exact day of your birthday, you can eat for free! Would recommend making a reservation ahead of time since there isn't a whole lot of seating inside. Their hot pot offerings were pretty standard, not the largest variety I've seen and the quality was also pretty normal. They have a lot of small dishes and appetizers like honey walnut shrimp and scallion pancakes that can be ordered too. They had a lot of different kinds of hot pot broths though -- we just got 2 pots of the original broth, but would be interested in trying their spicy broths! They also have a small ice cream fridge with 4 flavors of ice cream gallons that are self serve, although the green tea and black sesame flavors I tried were kinda mediocre. But it's all included! Service was quick though, we got our hot pot ingredients and dishes promptly after giving the waiter our paper menu. There's a karaoke setup with mics and a TV at the back of the restaurant, and closer to closing time a group next to us turned it on and went really hard on the karaoke so that made the atmosphere fun and lively.

Reserved one of the big karaoke rooms for a birthday and we were seated in the upstairs room. Drinks and sauce bar were available downstairs. Decent hotpot with all of the staples, ayce menu also came with a selection of appetizers/hot food which were also good. Since we were a larger group I liked that they gave huge portions of meat and veggies whenever we placed an order. Since we were in one of the rooms upstairs we did feel a little disconnected from the rest of the restaurant, which is good when you want to sing out, but it was sometimes hard to get our orders in. I do wish they checked on a us a few more times or had one of the bells they have at kbbq so we could signal when we were ready to order.

As a Vancouver (best city for authentic Chinese food) native, you gotta trust me when I say this is what true hot pot is like. The king oyster mushrooms are sliced thinly to perfection, the bean curb roll offerings are generous, they give you lots of the leafy part of napa cabbages, and when you need more item you simply wave down the waiters instead of writing it down on paper with your other orders. The best part? The unlimited free drinks and chicken feet!

Perfect for a large group. We were a group of 10 and made a reservation for 5:45 on a Thursday night.We had three bowls of soup. One spicy, one mild, and one half and half. We had thought the half and half was a mid point in spiciness but it was actually a pot with half spicy and half mild broth. Next time we’d just order three of the half n half.It was easiest for one person to do all of the ordering and we got a spread of meats, noodles, and veggies. We were happy with how quickly everything came out and the broth was quickly hot enough to start cooking. Make sure you order the sesame balls!A member of our group was in white and the staff brought out an apron to help them from staining their shirt. We all laughed when he told us his children don’t spill on themselves!The self serve drink fridge, variety of sauces, and self serve ice cream were all great.All you can eat and all you can drink for $45 each. We all left super full. One thing to note is they have moved locations so the photos in the red room are of the old space. Make sure you navigate to the new location!

Giving 4stars only because I would go back for the Karaoke + AYCE/D hotpot deal and environment is great. Other than that, be prepared for extremely slow (sometimes ignored) service. As long as your expectations for service is nonexistent you'll have an amazing time. Karaoke songs are limited and food is okay.
Good food and service but my walnut shrimp dish came out cold this time! It was disappointing. We always enjoy coming here for a good time. They have a drink area where you can select your own canned beverages and a sauce station with fruits as well.

This place has a lot of appetizers on the menu. A karaoke vip place in the back. Overall, a good hot pot place in sf. Fav appetizers are the Szechuan chicken palms, crab rangoons, spicy beef dish and the spicy cold chicken. In addition to the variety of appetizer selection, the drinks are also unlimited! The waiters are a bit inattentive but maybe you'll have a different experience.

*FOOD POISONING* First of all I don’t really do reviews but I have to, I want to warn everybody about this place. Okay so it was our first time going, we walked in and they sat us down. The waiter already had an attitude with us for some reason… we asked questions they acted like they did not want to answer them. They forgot most of our food and once we asked them about it they acted like we was the problem. All imma say if you are BLACK do not go here before doing your research. My family and I got food poisoning 2/10 would not recommend.

So tragic they have downsized and no longer offer kareoke rooms:( when I booked via the phone they said they still had a room with kareoke so I was really confused! The waiter seemed impatient with me when I asked about the rooms. We ended up not eating there because when we sat down no one came to us for a while...
