“The presence of God is so strong here
Came here for an early dinner at around 4pm. Restaurant was empty got seated right away. First time trying this place out, waiter wasn’t the friendliest to explain menu. Food was pretty good. Solid selection of refrigerated stuff like salad, bean curd, eggs, veggies, meat balls, cucumber.. etc. Sauce bar was great selection as well. Only minor complaint was the service. Only 3 parties in the restaurant and they never came by to check on us or refill water.
The food was really good, we got the tomato base hot pot. I don’t know what people are saying about the quality of the meats and seafood, but I really liked the shrimp and Australian lamb. The only thing was that there was only one waiter. Other than that there was no wait time and overall HotPot Champ was really good.
