I love hotpot! What can I say, I love trying out all the hotpot places around GTA. The other night we came here with friends to try out since the last time I was here about a year ago. This restaurant is located upstairs which has elevator access. You can watch the bowling alley next door while you are eating! We were quite surprised when they turned off the lights next door only to see them play bowling in the dark!
What makes this place different than the others is that your hotpot is just boiling water and you go and make your own soup base. Personally I prefer to have it ready made for me as I found the selection of soup base ingredients poor. I felt it was pretty much the same as the normal dipping sauce ingredients (add Knorr chicken stock and some thai/spicy soup bases and cooking oil).
It was very quiet for a Saturday evening. The price for all you can eat hotpot was $12.95 which is the best deal if you are looking for cheap hotpot on a weekend evening (most places cost more on weekends). There was also the seafood option for $17.95 which includes unlimited refills and pop. The $12.95 price includes only 1 cup of plum juice so we ended up paying an extra $3.99 for a jug of plum juice (they also had extra cups of plum juice for $1 each which we thought wasn't as good).
Overall a great place for cheap hotpot. But for more selection (quail eggs!) and ready made soup base look elsewhere.
