| - Located just west of Times Square, across from Ten Ren's, with just enough parking space for visitors. The parking spaces are rather small which may be a tight fit for SUV drivers.
The restaurant is large and spacious, with around 20 tables. Ventilation seems to be quite sufficient but there were only about 6 or 7 tables eating when I visited on Tuesday night. Washroom facilities were clean and tidy. Tables were spacious.
Half a lobster per adult if you order the seafood hotpot package. The soup base is tasty - we tried the Satay, clear broth, and Mala soup bases. Meats were fresh and sliced thinly, the beef was worth noting (AAA Canadian beef). Good selection of vegetables and house-made pork/beef/squid balls, although they used to be even better back in the day. There was complementary plum juice but only one glass per person. The seafood package comes with shrimp, oyster, enoki mushrooms, salmon, fish paste noodles but you can't get seconds. For dessert, we had a choice of tortoise jelly, mango pudding, and egg pudding (choose the egg pudding!)
The price is steeper than other all you can eat places. The bill came to be around $170 for 5 people after tax and mandatory 10% tip. Good place to try if you're looking to have hotpot with family but I can't see myself coming here that often due to the price alone.
