| - WAIT TIME: Came here for dinner on a weekday night. There wasn't a wait but the place was full. The restaurant is fairly small.. I would say roughly the same or maybe a little bigger than the chatime beside the restaurant.
DISCOUNTS: right now they have a deal, if you check in via social media (FB or instagram) you get a discount depending on how many hot pots were at the table. I believe it is 3 hot pots at a table = 10% off, 4 hot pots at a table = 15% off. However they can only apply this discount on ONE bill, so if youre going I suggest to bring cash so you can split the bill easily
APPS: ordered the korean popcorn chicken and the japanese popcorn chicken. Both were really good, I asked for extra sauce on the side for the japanese popcorn chicken. I actually enjoyed the popcorn chicken more than the hot pot. I slightly preferred the japanese popcorn chicken more, but honestly get both!
HOT POTS: 4 hot pots for the table (spicy fermented tofu, malaysian laksa, 2 spicy beef)
- sucks that you can't change the stuff inside the hot pot to a different soup base
- usually each hot pot will come with a side of rice or noodle
- when i came here (rmb dinner on a weekday night roughly around 730-8pm) they ran out of rice !!!!! like what??? my friend was forced to get noodles rather than rice and it's not even like they said if you wait for a bit we'll cook a new batch of rice.. like THEY RAN OUT. like how???? AND btw we went to chatime after and we saw one of the workers from HOPO bring a chatime worker rice (like whats that about????)
- if you've never had smelly tofu before THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO TRY IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. this is an acquired taste!! my friend tried smelly tofu for the first time here and didn't end up eating any of the tofu and basically regretted his meal.
- my friend who had the malaysian laksa really enjoyed hers and said it was authentic. I tasted hers and if I didn't get the spicy beef I probably would've had that
- the pots boil in front of you and honestly it's pretty tight in there so the pots basically boiling in your face. While the pot was on I felt very uncomfortable and stressed.. I was scared of the hot water splashing onto me because it was SO close. Once I felt like everything was cooked in my spicy beef hot pot I called for the waiter to turn it off right away because I could not eat while that thing was on. soooo dangeroussss
- theres only 1 beef ball in each hot pot!!!!! and honestly its the best part, so kinda sucked how theres only 1.
- TOO MUCH CABBAGE. there was so much that I had to remove some from the hot pot and put it on the plate... I was able to fill the whole plate with cabbage
- overall the hot pot was ok. My spicy beef hot pot really didn't strike me in taste or its content. Most likely not coming back - and if I were to it'd be for the popcorn chicken.
MILD OR SPICY? - they ask you if you want mild spice or spicy, before going i read reviews on yelp and a couple ppl mentioned that spicy was actually really spicy (like in your face cant enjoy your food spicy) so i opted for mild and my friend got spicy. Mine wasn't spicy at all it actually lacked in spiciness .. my friend's was do-able, it wasn't in your face spicy at all he finished his entire pot. Spicy levels are subjective though so if you're scared you won't be able to finish your meal b/c of the spice level just get mild and ask for like chilli OTS.
PRICE: spicy beef hot pot plus 2 orders of popcorn chicken split 4 ways totalled $21 for me (includes tax, tip and discount), for this amount of money would rather just go to an AYCE hot pot to get $s worth. (also for this price I'm not sure if I was actually full tbh .. I didn't finish my hot pot but I think that was bc I just got tired of eating).
