If you like real hot pot, just go for happy lamb, this place has nothing worth to try. Spicy grease broth and not fresh beef slices.
The same low quality skewers hot pot as the one in Chinatown, which made me and my husband threw up after diner there. No hygiene
Food made my kid’s stomachache. Soup is too thick and spicy. The beef on skewers not fresh.
Nice place. Great Service. Can be a bit pricey if you dont ask. But overall, the Regular Soup and The Half and Half Soup are very tasty. The Bamboo sticks and the self cooking is a nice touch
The meal was delicious, what a great addition to the Sichuan hot pot scene of Chicago! We got the half-half, with medium spicy broth and the tomato broth. The tomato broth seemed a bit flat compared to other hot pot places in the city (Haidilao or Qiao Ling), we liked the spicy broth—though will try to get the spiciest level next time! Thought it was mild but satisfied that the flavors were still delicious unlike other hot pot places where the broth could get super salty and spicy as the broth boils down.The spicy marinated beef on skewers was flavorful, and because most of the meat entrees are on skewers, sometimes there could be shortages of skewers in the fridges before the staff takes out more skewers (takes time to prep). So when it gets busy, I can imagine the popular ones going out pretty fast—especially since the model is you take from the fridge of what’s available.I feel the spicy broth and the marinated meats slightly lack the intense flavors as the ones I really loved back in Chengdu, especially by the same brand, and I will probably stick to my other go-to hot pot spots in the city, but if I do want some skewers in the hot pot in Chicago — this place is it!
Best food I have had for a week in Chicago. Came out to a bit under $50 pp.

Took the family out and we really like the atmosphere and food. To see the kids mix their own favors with the was fun.
The waiter patiently explained everything to us, very nice guy
Came here a few days ago with my wife. the staff are super friendly and made it so welcoming. The people running this place are awesome! So super friendly and I just love the whole concept of this place! Recommended
