We absolutely love this place, the food was delicious and they had a lot of selections. All you can eat dinner was about $40 per person. The sukiyaki broth in particular was delicious! Other people with us also like the hot and spicy mild. The restaurant was clean and we loved the sauce bar which posted recipes to make different combinations or you could just make your own. We will definitely eat here again and recommend it!

Never been to a place like this before and wasn't sure how it worked. Food is definitely on the healthy side.
Amazing ono Food and a lot fun cooking you own ...very good fresh meat and only $29.99 luch buffet ...I LOVE It.
Different. Healthy. Ask questions. Polite
All you can eat suggestions are pretty decent
I was really looking forward to trying the fried ice cream at this restaurant, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The first one I received was a complete mess—the outer shell was soggy and falling apart, and the ice cream inside was already melting.
To their credit, the staff offered a replacement, which I appreciated. However, even the second attempt wasn’t much better. It seemed rushed, and the crispiness I expect from fried ice cream just wasn’t there. For a dessert that’s supposed to be indulgent and satisfying, this was disappointing.
While the effort to fix the issue was nice, the execution of the dish left much to be desired. I’d hesitate to order it again or recommend it to others.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, I noticed a cockroach crawling on the wall near our table. It was absolutely disgusting and made me lose my appetite entirely. Cleanliness is a basic expectation, and seeing that really made me question the restaurant’s hygiene standards.
While the effort to replace the dessert was nice, the poor execution and the sight of a cockroach made this an experience I’d rather forget. I won’t be coming back.
Very good ?

I’ve been all over. Traveled the world pretty much. To me this tasted bland. The hot and spicy tasted like straight peppercorn. Vegetables were fresh but not a good variety. For an all you can eat place I was vastly underwhelmed with the experience and the food. Staff was nice and attentive. Place was clean and well maintained. Just not to my liking.

I really like the variety that this restaurant has. They have a great selection and you can definitely get your fill of food. It’s small and nice. Very good vibe and polite people. The waiter was constantly at our table checking on us. It’s pricey if you don’t eat a lot, but if you’re a big eater then you can definitely get your moneys worth.
Parking: They are places to park, but they fill up fast.

This place is the ultimate hidden gem. I have been looking for a good hot pot place on island since my favorite restaurant closed during covid. Don't be fooled by the location and the exterior. The inside is a lovely, clean, and nicely decorated little restaurant, with a super nice staff and great food. I highly recommend the spicy broth. Additionally they carry a good selection of add-ins, which is essential for any hot pot! 太好吃!

Go here and explore! Our group of 5 was two repeat customers and three newbies. The explanation and walkthrough was helpful. So the deal is pick your broth and then add as much of whatever you want. I added some spice concoction that I first taste tested before adding to the broth pot (pro tip) and then even added more. Bring your appetite and your wallet! It is pricey but you get all the bang for your buck that you want.
Vegetarian options: Healthy veggie broth and all the veggies you could want! Fun stuff too like pumpkin, zucchini, tons of different mushrooms, lotus root, corn, bamboo shoots, tofu, bok choy, spinach, imitation crab, fried tofu, rice, rice cakes, udon and lots of noodles including seaweed noodles

Food is excellent. This is not an authentic shabushabu in the traditional Japanese sense but it is a very good approximation of it for those who don’t want to go to a fancy restaurant for good food. The curb appeal is low so dont let it fool you. Walk in, get a hot pot, order a meat, grab some veggies sauces and other add-ins at the bar, and enjoy. very good soup for the soul
Vegetarian options: not vegetarian focused but certainly not anti vegetarian
Parking: Don’t bring your biggest vehicle
