I'm a huge fan of this place! It's not your average restaurant where you sit and dine with friends. Instead, you're seated in a large rectangular bar where you sit close to other patrons who are enjoying their meal. If you're not in the mood for strangers near you, I don't think this is the place to be but the food really delivers.
We took advantage of the Groupon deal which was $30 for an al a carte for two. It was me and my friend who went which was a pretty good deal because we only paid $9 for the entire meal afterwards.
The service was okay, but it was memorable enough. We went on a Wednesday night thinking it wouldn't be busy, but boy was it packed. We waited for a good 30 minutes to get seated. The attendants were very helpful after they realized that it was our first time there. They taught us how to cook our food with the broth. First, was the vegetables because surprisingly, they cooked longer than the thinly sliced meat. Once, you're ready you "swish" the meat in the broth until it's cooked which is a duration of about 20 seconds. Depending on your broth, you eat it with or without a dipping sauce. Because my broth wasn't as rich as others, I was served with a peanut sauce and one which I believe was soy sauce. Delicious to say the least. The meat was tender and the rice to wait with that was perfect.
My friend also felt the same way as he devoured his three options of meat.
Overall, this was quite the experience with delicious flavors working together for an exquisite meal.
