| - I give this place a 3.5/5. I came here with a friend on a Saturday evening, at 5:30pm, as they do not take reservations for 2. The restaurant was already pretty full. The restaurant is spacious, modern and from what I can tell, clean. The service was average, and the reason I am docking a star. The waitress was incredibly unenthused when taking our orders. At the same time though, she checked in at regular intervals to see if we wanted to order more food, which is good for an AYCE. When our soup bases arrived, our hot plates were not turned on... Nor were we offered any assistance. There are different prices depending on the soup base, which I have not encountered before at other hot pot restaurants so -0.5 star for that. I opted for HK satay style, which was savoury and delicious. For a two person table, we were not allowed to order the split soup base... Sure, ok... They should list that in the menu then. The food we offered came out promptly, and was very fresh. There is also a large selection of food to choose from, mostly classic hot pot fare. The beef, shrimp and Japanese crab meat were my favourite. +1 for thinly sliced, easy to cook daikon and offering taro! There is a two hour limit that was strictly adhered to on a Sat night. We were promptly told there are others waiting for a table when we hit the 2 hour mark and paid our bill. I would come back here when I'm really hungry and not catching up with a friend, because we certainly did not get our money's worth ($27.99 plus tax on weekend)... Spent a lot of time chatting, and not enough eating!!
