“We were looking for lunch after microcenter and this place is right next door. The concept is interesting and the food was plentiful. I thought I couldn't eat it all but I did. It was all so good. And the decor is beautiful, we got some great photos of our lunch. Great date spot. For a celebration. Or just to stop in. And I know it sounds weird but, try the water!“

“They seated two of us at 9:10pm on. Sunday evening when they close at 9:30pm. We were the only patronsat that time. They also told us to take our time and not rush. Service with a smile. We felt bad for imposing and ate quickly.
I docked a star because one of our beef cuts seemed to have freezer burn. Would give it 4.5 stars if I could. Everything else was great and the price for the buffet is comparable to most such places. We got the pork bone soup and the lady obliged us by packing the leftover soup. Like I said - great service!
This place used to be called 99° or 100° - I can't remember now. New management has updated the menu as now they serve more than just shabu shabu.oir second cost here. We used to really like the old place cos they actually had a big pork bone in each pork bone soup bowl. Sichuan Legend does not - but the soup is just as good!“

“Excellent and clean shabu shabu restaurant. The selection on their AYCE was generous for the price and everything was delicious! You can see them cutting meat to order in the back! However, service was honestly a miss — while our waiter was friendly, he was handling too many tables to be able to check in with us for additional orders, to take away empty plates, and to get us the check. Might have been a staffing issue just on the day we went though“

“You're probably used to the hot pot spiel by now. In case you're uninitiated, at hot pot places like Hot Spot here, you pick your soup base from a bunch of possible options - se chuan, tom yum, herbal, etc. Then you order a bunch of raw meat and veggies to cook in your soup. You have a personal cooker for your soup and you can adjust the heat. There's also a sauce bar in the back where you mix your own flavor of sauce. Look up the sauce bar for sauce recipes.
The place could get crowded on Friday and weekend nights. If the weather is cold like it's a hot pot kind of day, you can expect an hour's wait. The original Hot Spot (not this location) used to be one of the only ones in the area a few years back. Now, there are so many options. I cannot say anything stands out about this particular establishment. The food is alright. If you live nearby and don't want to drive far, it's a good hot spot option. For me, the soup bases are not as punchy here. That's only my preference. If you do prefer your soup on the lighter side, this could be a perfect "Hot Spot" for ya.“

“The crab rangoon is so upscale compared to most restaurants: sweet crab and crispy wanton. The tea makes them pop (flavor). \n\nI ordered sweet and sour chicken it was beautiful and the batter was light, crispy and delicious. It was not greasy at all. \n\nThis is a fine place to dine.“

“You have got to ask for Jay Kim, he is the best server in the house. He was patient and ever so helpful with us as first time hot potters. I had a vegetarian hot pot, well, except for the dumplings. Although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and provided me with an alternate option. It would be more awesome for them to add it to their menu tho for those of us who just love veggies. The broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to have a vegetarian option along with it. We had a party of 8 and Jay Kim made it so much fun!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. One other option that would have been great to have would be fresh ginger at the sauce bar and mushrooms on the vegetable plate. We were all pleasantly pleased with our food. The ambiance is very nice, low light but more than enough to cook and enjoy each other's company. Jay Kim made sure we always had what we needed. The sauce bar was amazing, so many choices. I recommend making a few bowls, some for the broth and and some for dipping your cooked food. If you get any type of meat, also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to but it made a good difference. Meats are thinly sliced for quick cooking and again,so fresh. The price was worth the amount of food and the experience. There is an all you can eat option or an a la carte option where you just get one meat selection and a vegetable plate which was more than enough for us as a party of young ladies. This was a great first hot pot experience and I definitely recommend it, just make sure to ask for Jay Kim. I know you will enjoy it!!!“
