The fresh grapefruit drink was sooo good. The cup it came in was huge and the under $6 price felt very fair. I recommend the fried sampler we ordered. It had calamari, chicken, and beef. We also ordered a dry pot with little spice. Be warned if you’re not used to spicy food. It is very spicy. That dish was tasty and shareable.

Should have listened to the reviews regarding their sanitation and people getting food poisoning. Thought I’d give them the benefit of the doubt, but that was a huge mistake! Ended up getting the worst food poisoning of my life! The health department needs to shut this place down asap!

You only get ONE rice PER dry pot order no matter the SIZE. Best to just order one dry pot MAX 6 item, so you can get more than one rice

I experienced severe food poisoning that lasted for 2.5 days. To make matters worse, the soap in the bathrooms was watered down. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re looking to spend days dealing with intense stomach issues and vomiting.

Food was really good: despite how insanely spicy it was (I literally started coughing), it was extremely savory, flavorful, and good for the price. The waitress was also really nice and I had a good time here: the robot deserves some praise too lol. 9/10

Very disappointing, the food was over priced and the chicken was raw. Nice restaurant but poor quality of food.

Please do not come here!!!! Family and I came here for dinner and found a dead roach in one of our dishes!!! Employees didn’t even know what to do or say. We refused to eat after that and walked out. Not worth the meal or the health scare!!

Recommend: make your own bowl (soup and stir fry)
Good: Peking duck wrap, fried fish fillet.

Be careful the spicy is pretty spicy. If you would normally order medium at other restaurants, I would suggest getting mild here.

The scallops were not worth it in the stir fry but we were impressed that some specialty ingredients like the pig's blood, pea sprouts, and chanterelle mushrooms were available.

They do cook everything together so some of the leafy greens might be a bit wilted.

The fried fish was nicely crispy but tasted more like breading than fish

Vegetarian options: Can select only vegetarian items in the make your own bowl.

Salty. Finally, I took a bowl of water and rinsed it before eating. Came here for the spicy hotpot. But it’s really too salty. The duck blood I ordered was not given, but I agreed to refund it after confirmation. Spicy hot pot really can't be that salty. I ordered a side dish of pig ears, which was delicious.

I like to switch between the spicy dry pot and the soup—they’re both amazing! The menu has tons of ingredients, so there’s a lot to choose from. Service can be a bit slow, even during empty lunch hours, but I’ve come to expect it here, so it doesn’t bother me too much.
