| - Me and my friends were all excited about our hotpot night and had high hopes for this place as the line were pretty long. We figured if the line was that long, this place must be amazing.
Service:
After we got seated, my disappointment then started. Maybe because we didn't speak mandarin, most of the staff there didn't seem to want to take our order. We managed to flag down a guy after 15 mins to take our order, he was very courteous and told us how amazing the soup base was (which it turns out great), but have way through our order, he passed us on to another server to take he rest of our order. What ended up happening was, out of the 20 items we ordered, only 5 came. While the table beside us continue to have flow of food coming to them. At first, we thought they must be just busy, so we asked 3 waiters to check on our order for us. They either just brushed us off or told us they will check. And as we sit there for the next 40mins with just 5 items and with our soup base burning to the bottom. We flagged the 4th waiter, he was nice enough to retake our order, but again, only 3 items out of the 6 items we've ordered came. We got fed up and just want to order the dessert and leave. We were told all the putting was so out and they only had vanilla and chocolate ice cream left ( blah... who wants to eat that at a Chinese hotpot place). So we just proceed to paying our bill :( We figured their iPad ordering system must have had a flaw as the table beside us were getting more than what they could consume, and sometime double order of what they've order, our food must've been registered to their table instead and we were just sitting their starving, watching our soup burn to the bottom of the pot.
Food:
I'm not a meat eater, but my friends that went with me said the meat quality was really good. The soup base was pretty good too. From the very little food that we ate, the quality was pretty good. Selection was great. However, if you're allergic to MSG like me, stay away from the sauce, I woke up this morning and coughing and my throat was burning. The sauce have a lot of MSG.
Price:
We were told that for a hot pot place, all soup base cost extra. So basically it costed $27.99 for the food and $5 for our soup base. So after tax and our Watermelon juice, it costed $40 per person. In my opinion, if the service was good, it would've been worth it. But since we only each had a hand full of food, it was definitely not worth it.
