| - This hidden gem hot pot restaurant is perfect for a cold winter day (or really any time you're craving hot pot). When you walk through the door, you'll be greeted by the warm, ever so slightly steamy air. The inside is very nicely decorated, with fancy furniture and artwork. The service unfortunately is pretty bad, which is one strike against the restaurant. The servers never stopped by our table once - we always had to flag them down. Perhaps that's just the expectation here.
But the food is delicious, which is why you're here in the first place. Ordering is simple: you pay a flat rate per person ($25 for an adult), plus a small fee for your broth (~$5), then all ingredients are free (excluding a few fancy ones which cost extra). They give you a sheet where you can check all of the different hot pot ingredients you want, including different types of from beef, seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles, and more. Some of our favorites were the sliced beef, the mushrooms, the radishes, and the quail eggs. Some to avoid include the shrimp (too much work) and the duck tongue (mostly bones). Your per-person fee even includes ice cream at the end of your meal! Though note that it doesn't include drinks - if you want soda or alcohol, that's extra.
Overall, we had a fun time. The food was tasty, and the interactive eating experience of cooking it all yourself made it a blast. Come here with a few friends or family members for a memorable meal.
