Went for the hot pots on Wednesday night and had an awesome time. In our group of four I was the only vegetarian, but it worked nice because they can split the pot so you can cook different things/do different broth. I loved it because it’s more of a novel dining experience and very much family style/social. Happy to see Reno is finally getting some more experience based dining. The spicy broth had a pretty solid kick to it and was very tasty. Overall we all had an amazing time and would definitely be back, and super want to do their tea time on Sundays!

Definitely the best dimsum I’ve had in town! We used to have to go all the way to sacramento for dimsum so I’m so glad they start doing dimsum here. The set high tea menu is actually kinda fun and comes with a nice variety of dimsum items. My favorite is probably the Siumai and the porridge that come with Chinese fried dough. The first time I ever had mimosa with dimsum but surely won’t be the last. Totally would recommend, we actually are coming back for hotpot later next week.

Had the all you can eat split hot pot. It was a fun experience, different take on fondue. The staff are very kind and super helpful with any questions, great back story of the business too.Both the spicy and regular broth were okay, could use a little more flavor or salt? The veggies to cook in the broth were fresh but the choices were small in variety. The side dishes we ordered were very good, garlic fries and pot stickers. We ordered mochi at the end but it was like a mini cupcake infused with mochi? Wasn't impressed with it. Overall it was different and kind of neat but we probably won't go again.

Sad to say I was not happy with this place I wanted to give five stars but its definitely far from five.Broth was not spicy at all even though we asked for spicy.They offer hotpot all you can eat 90min which should be more then enough time to be satisfied.This is the problem we had, Only 4 families where eating but took 30min to even get our first drop off of food and the servings where small. Took me about 5minuts to finish.So we asked for more to put in the hotpot waited 15min and she realized she forgot about what we ordered. She apologized and asked what we wanted once more she goes to the back and after 15min she comes out with only part of what we ordered. She forgot the rest so after the 4th try and over an hour of just forgetting she decided to just bring back the check menu so she wouldn't forget.5th try and after we checked everything we wanted she comes back with only part of the order. At this point we just want to leave and just throw everything in the hot pot and rush to finish and leave.She was not rude and was very nice but between the back staff and the Waitress this has to be the worst service I've seen.$35 all you can eat but if you can only get 1 serving definitely not worth the time or money.If you like spending 90min waiting for food that will be wrong or forgotten then this is the place for you. First time and last time for me. Sorry to say I wanted this to be my go to place.

Such a fantastic dining experience! Owner was so phenomenal and friendly. Can't wait to go back and try something else!

Great food, great service. Note: There are only 5 real tables and weekends are by reservation only for shabu shabu (hot pot, where a boiling pot of broth is set at the table on a hot plate and you cook your own food to your liking). We had a party of 4. I emailed in for a reservation but didn't get a reply so we just showed up hoping for the best. Through miscommunication, our reservation didn't go through. But luckily, there was a reservation where the party didn't answer/show up, so we got the spot. They made sure to take care of us. Ian, our server, was very friendly, spunky, lively, and attentive. The food was delicious and he even managed to get me an extra piece of the complimentary blueberry matcha mochi cake bite that was initially all out. Outstanding service!

Was stopping thru town and saw the reviews here, decided to come for dinner - and glad we did! Awesome service, amazing food, reasonable price. Give hot pot a shot!

One of the best places in town to entertain with friends. Owner Perapol is one of the most incredible person we have ever met, and his hot pot is amazing! Truly recommend this place!

Super cute little restaurant with a big emphasis on Thai soul food. The Kao Man Gai is my fave and the sauce is super complex and bright with just enough spice. Love the owner and his fun personality and energy. Great casual spot for bomb Thai food!

The food here is always fantastic! Everything they make is homemade, natural and delicious!! Locally owned by an awesome person. The entire family is wonderful.
