My husband and I decided to try something new & attend this restaurant & let me tell you.. DO NOT GO HERE!! We told them it was our first time & if we could get some help on how this works us & to also please guide us & they literally did the OPPOSITE! The staff was very unhelpful & the food is VERY BLAND! Our waitress completely forgot about us, extremely disappointed will NEVER come here again!

Was worth driving the 50min here. The staff were friendly and the food was good.

My favorite hot pot place, whether you only eat the buffet veggie option, order seafood all you can eat or beef. I must say I really enjoyed the buffet option because there’s plenty to choose from & all of it it’s delicious.

I have been to many Shabu Shabu restaurants and this place is pretty good. They do have a very big assortment of veggies and whatever else you can add to the broth. I got the Mara broth which is kind of like a Chinese Sichuan style broth. The broth was okay, nothing special. The seafood and beef were both good. The Korean side dishes were pretty good too. Our customer service was excellent. She was very kind. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the soup lacked flavor and its $40 per person, which is pretty expensive. But I do understand because of Covid everything went up. Hopefully once things settle down, the prices will go back down. Still, overall a good experience. My 3 yr old loved the fish cakes ?

The unlimited buffet with as much vegetables as you can eat along with many of your vegetarian favorites. Fish balls, kimchi fried rice, and tofu to make a few.

I took my large family with us-7 total. It was our first time trying hot pot, but our server convinced us to try the buffet, which was quite a bit more money. What I didn't know is that they consider Valentine's day a holiday and they charged us additional holiday pricing, which is over $40 for adults. Because we had 7 people, she let us know at the end that it was going to be 18% mandatory gratuity. The food was decent. There was a good supply of hot pot items on the buffet. This place is more focused on the experience. It's a place you sit down for hours and talk and enjoy the ambiance. Was it worth $40 a person? No. Not by a long shot. We essentially spent over $250 for our family for 3 large bowls of soup each. We will not be returning. I'm giving 3 stars because they were friendly, the place seemed clean and there was a good selection. FYI: If you have small children, it might be a struggle, because you are having to help them put stuff in their hot pot and managing it for them, so they don't burn themselves.

Pretty solid hot pot buffet. I usually don't get the meat (which can be sold a la carte or unlimited), and opt only for the veggies, tofu, fish balls, and mushrooms that you pick up from the all-you-can-eat buffet stall. They recently raised the price for the weekend, but go there on the weekdays and its $19.99 for the non-meat option. What a deal!

So tasty! So many options! Great service! I’m so happy we stopped by. We charged our electric car nearby at the station and we walked over to enjoy hotpot while our car charged.

Pretty good hot pot. Selections were good from the standard. Includes everything, but protein, aside from imitation crab, is extra.

Fishcakes were very fishy and tasted old. Broth was also bland. Tasted like it was mixed with water. The veggies were fresh though. Waiter was friendly. Not worth it for the price of $25 per person. Gave feedback to the owner later but claimed he wasn't the owner so leaving feedback here.
