| - I love hot pot, and I love AYCE style.. I was bound to like this place at least a little bit. I came here for an early dinner with my family for one of our last meals in Toronto. The food was pretty good, and there was a pretty decent selection of food and sauces available. I enjoyed the thinly sliced beef and lamb, but I felt like the meat quality was very average. I enjoyed most of the fish balls and meat balls as well, but I did feel like the beef ball was a little unusual.. Some of the insides of the beef balls remained slightly red no matter how long I cooked it, and I couldn't figure out why that was happening. I ate it anyway and didn't die, so I guess that turned out okay. The dumplings were great, but they took a very long time to cook because they were given to us frozen. The oysters that were provided on the half shell were MASSIVE. They tasted alright, but I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of cooked oysters in general. I didn't like their fish paste at all because there was way too much cilantro in it. The cilantro in it was completely overpowering to me, but I know some people actually like cilantro in their fish paste.. matter of preference I suppose. The beef tripe was TERRIBLE and by far the worst item we received. I usually love the texture of beef tripe when it's soaked in soup (soft and slippery exterior with a slightly chewy interior), but the beef tripe here actually hardened a little bit in the soup. It was absurdly chewy and basically inedible.. Something was definitely wrong with that beef tripe. We were also given a mango tapioca dessert on the house at the end of the meal. It was delicious and refreshing, and I felt that it was an excellent way to end our dinner. All of the other items we received during our meal were essentially what I expected, so I don't have much to write about for those items.
The service here was straightforward and reasonably fast, but the waiter did miss a few of our items more than once. When we informed him of the mistakes, he was able to fix it rather quickly. I imagine the service wouldn't have been this fast if we arrived during the busier dinner hours. The price for the AYCE hot pot dinner was very worth it, and I'm jealous that there aren't AYCE hot pot restaurants in my area like this place. Unfortunately for me, most of the hot pot restaurants near me are a la carte style, so the prices add up really fast for someone with a large appetite. I would be willing to come here again, but I would probably research the other AYCE hot pot restaurants in the area before returning. 3.5/5
