After seeing an Instagram post about the grand opening, I decided to try this place with my s/o as we both love hot pot and can no longer justify AYCE places. The place itself is situated at Times Square and is a fairly big location with ample seating. Decor wise it was nothing special and there isn't much to say about it.
Food (2/5)
Similar to all the other mini hot-pot restaurants, you order based on the soup base and it comes with a range of preset food items ranging from meat and veggies. We ordered the kimchi dumpling hot soup and Thai flavour hot soup. The soup flavours were lacking, bland, and wasn't spicy at all. There was A touch of spiciness but seemed to be added as an afterthought. My kimchi soup had so little kimchi that finding a piece was like striking gold in a mine. The ingredients inside were nothing special and was the same as every other mini hot pot place.
Service (2.5/5)
As per usual I never expect over the top service at Asian establishments... On that particular weeknight there were four servers but it seemed like each one was designated to one task and weren't allowed to do anything else. We would wave down a server to order, make eye contact with them, have them nod but then they would then walk away because they were busking a table. Even if the staff was designated to a task they should've notified their coworker.
Overall I don't force myself coming back as the soup bases weren't good at all. To be honest we came because we saw a promotional ad on Instagram but when it came to pay were told it had ended the day before. They advised us of their rewards program but the price and taste is just not worth going back.
