This restaurant only have one person for service. And owner never give receive to some customers, and he will charge 18% 24% tips before check out! I won't come back again!

It’s good but they have a really bad and slow service. The staff are not polite at all, they have no idea what’s happening and they don’t care about you. They made us wait over 30 minutes for another pot cause the previous one was burnt and they didn’t believed us. I would not recommend

Came with five people. Four were new to Hot Pot. Everybody loved it. We ate a ton of food for about $20 per person. Super fresh ingredients and tasty broth. The spicy broth was super hot. Tom Yum broth was popular with everyone. We will definitely be back!!

Went here for a birthday dinner and had a great experience. The service was good and staff was very friendly and willing to explain how hotpot works. The ordering process is efficient, and they are currently offering an All You Can Eat option for $30–it’s amazing, and you get so much. Sauces are delicious but $1 each, kinda wish it were included but the meal was memorable regardless. Would recommend!

First time for all seven of us that went. Thankfully the staff was patient as we really didn't understand what we were doing. The variety to choose from and sauce selection were fantastic. It was an amazing dining experience and I will definitely be returning!

This is a great spot for dates and with friends. Very interactive meal. Fresh ingredients and quite nice inside. I would recommend for them to add more fish options to there menu like salmon.

The menu a la carte is horribly overpriced (seriously, $15 alone for broth?! Other places don't even charge for that), but their 29.99 "holiday special" for all you can eat (nice meats included) is pretty worth it. Quick and courteous service, and nice atmosphere. Orders are done through a tablet at your table, which really takes a lot of time/embarrassment out of the hotpot experience. The quality of the food was excellent! I would come back, but only if the AYCE were still running.

Didn't expect to find such an authentic Chinese hotpot restaurant in Connecticut. Completely blown away by the quality of the meat, excellent soup base and sauces. No difference from what I would get in HK or China! Great stuff

All you can eat hot pot for $29.99 and the food is qualified, delicious, and worth it. I loved the presentation of the orders. The meat came out on a wooden board, on banana leaves, and straw baskets. You can choose from a full list of items they have on the menu without additional costs like the Colorado lamb, brisket, tripe, pork belly, seafood combo, etc. Other all you can eat hot pot places I've been to cost additional for premium meats. I recommend the herbal spicy and there are 3 different spicy levels so you can mild it down to spice it up to your liking.

This is the first time we tried out after they renovating the place. The food is nothing special. The soup base is so bland and expensive. The hotpot is cold, taking so much time to cook. For the buffet price, $30 for one person with all you can eat. We have to place an order by ourselves via iPad. If you eat or order too much, they will hide the ipad or take it back. The service they give is only to bring out the plates. They re not giving water unless we ask. I dont think the 18% is worth the service we got. The waitress there even gave us a hateful look when we ordered so much on the table. We paid so much but our food is not up to the standards. The seafood is not cleaned probably. We all end up using the bathroom afterwards. Will not come back!

Having hot pot in the winter is a huge part of our Chinese culture. So naturally I have to try when I found out there is a new hot pot restaurant in town. I just have to tell you the aroma was absolutely delicious when we first walk in. Lunch combo seems like a better deal, because all you can eat is $30 per person. However the crazy thing is to charge $1 for sauces. So my friend ordered a seafood combo $16 and mine is lamb combo. $15 plus $1 sauces each. When the food came, we both were very disappointed to see how little we get for the main dishes for the price we are paying. The veggies is just daikon cabbage and a little of white mushrooms, some tofu squares, an egg and a small bunch of Shanghai noodles. How much do those cost? (See photos attached) there could've been some greens in the veggies, fake crab meat should never made it on a seafood combo. But the soup broth were delicious, the service was good.
