First time doing the “hot pot” type of experience all and all pretty great. Went there with a big group of people the staff was great. And getting refills on the meat was lightning quick. If it’s your first time, a word of advice. Get all those really flavorful vegetables in your broth right away it’ll help punch up the flavors throughout!
***6/26/22: Well overdue update: This is one of my favorite places to eat. I have been here tons of time at this point and I have had bad service only twice. The managers always recognize us and ask how we're doing or ask about our family when my husband or I end up here without each other. It can be crazy busy on the weekend evenings but it is totally worth the wait. The spicy broth is my jam. Definitely come and eat here if you haven't tried it yet.Old review: I would have given this place 5 stars but our service kind of sucked. We waited a lot. In their defense though, my husband had come a few days ago with a coworker for lunch and said that the service he received the other day was Top Notch. So I guess it's probably hit or miss depending on which employees are on staff.The food though. 1000% recommend this place. We had Sukiyaki and the Traditional broth. The Sukiyaki is good. The traditional broth is bland but throw some spices and veggies in and it is amazing. Definitely a good starter broth. All of the veggies and ingredients looked fresh and tasted yummy.I like that they require masks and gloves when visiting the ingredients bar. They also provide hand sanitizer and signs ask you to use it before you get stuff from the ingredients bar. They have this really cool little body scanning machine at the front entrance that tells them if you have a normal or elevated body temp. We were appropriately distanced from other parties as well.We will definitely be back often.
If you love hot pot then this is the place for you. All you can eat dining. Friendly service and Korean music videos in the background. Great atmosphere and it feels inviting.I give them 4 stars because of their beverages. I cannot stand canned soda and they don't serve iced tea. They have barley tea but that's it for tea selection. It was either water or soda. So that was a let down for me.Other than that they offer a variety of vegetables, noodles, meat and you get to make your dipping sauce. Which is a benefit because I get to choose my toppings. I love the broths that they offer and I have two favorites ... miso based or sweet teriyaki. ?My once in a great while soul food. It was a great experience with my long time friend of 13 years. It was a joy to catch up and the food never tasted so good. Having the right company matters.
Newest obsession. We've tried other shabu shabu type restaurants around AZ, and this continues to be our favorite. We've been going every few weeks for the last few months and it's always amazing. Wish there were one in the west valley but maybe one day.
First shabu/hot pot place I’ve gone too. Food and options were super great, but service was non existent. Waitress was JANIE and despite telling her it was my birthday and our first time, she didn’t do anything different or even explain. She also never filled our water and we had to have the manager take our meat and soup order refills. Also disappointing that neither of them mentioned that the free box of steamed meat or the desert are only by request, since they snatch the menu quick and don’t bring it up again. Not sure if I’ll come here again, maybe for lunch since this meal service was not worth $30 per person
It’s nice and clean and the servers are very friendly and they have good quality meats
We went here on Valentine's Day to celebrate my Grandson's 15th birthday. Had a great time! He chose the place. The place was very busy, but they were able to get our party of 5 in.THANK-YOU STAFF!!!This is how it works:You choose 2-4 meats for the table to share. Then you load your own plate up "salad bar" style with all the side ingredients you'd like to add to your table's meat choices. Come back to the table. Put the meat in the pots that are in the center of the table. Then you add your side items to the pot. Let them all cook for several minutes & then spoon them out onto your plate. Great way to try alittle if everyone's choices! Supper fun!!FYI There's NO take home or doggie bag option. You can't take home what u didn't eat.
Delicious! Very friendly staff and also helpful. Their self-serve bar has plenty of options and you can serve yourself rice as well. They have curtains for privacy in the booths which i liked very much. Spicy and non spicy broth options! And if you go during lunch time, the pricing is VERY VERY FAIR!
Showed up for a table of 8 and we were able to be seated immediately. The broth was a tad bit bland but there was a vast amount of toppings with vegetables noodles and seafood to give it flavor. They even had minced raw garlic and pepper. Remember that hot pot and shabu shabu are different. Service was good the meats and quality were good as well. It's nice that they bring out a pitcher for your water so you don't have to consistently ask to get your cup full. All in all it was a good experience but nothing over the top.
one of the best hot pot in Chandler and Tempe area. Price is not expensive, the meat is fresh and sea food is unlimited service. You could pick up the veg, meat ball, side food, noodle, rice and egg in the mid food island table. They have different sauce choice for guest, you could mix them by yourself and have top for the rice if you want to have it. The staff is super nice and friendly. It's a good place for party, family and hungry night.
