| - This is my third time visiting this place for hotpot and it doesn't disappoint. This place is good for casual dates and for group outings. It's not too loud, the lighting is bright, and there are large round tables for larger groups, where each person still gets their own little pot to boil things.
Since we were a group of 5, we sat in one of the booths in the back. The all you can eat is priced at $23.99/person on weekday night and you have to pay for the soup base separately which is another $2.5-3. This price is comparable with Morals Village, both on the pricier side but Morals Village is more nicely renovated. I picked the black chicken broth but honestly I couldn't really taste the difference other than the bits of black chicken skin at the bottom of the pot.
All the ordering is done on a sheet of paper, you write down the quantity of each item you want and they get delivered to your table. All the meats, shrimps and veggies are very fresh. The sweet potato noodles here are super thick, which is the best kind! Also, word of caution: cool the quail eggs completely before putting it in your mouth. I hardly ever wait long enough and suffered the consequences many times. Another thing that was different about this place was their fermented bean curd sauce for dipping. It actually contained squares of the bean curd, which I preferred over the blended version in other places.
The servers didn't speak perfect English but service is really quick and they are pretty attentive. They also didn't mind us sitting there talking till closing time, probably because the place was fairly empty on this Wednesday night. There is a slight cash discount which is always good.
Compared to Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot, they had better meat selections and some unique chef's recommendation items. But price wise, this place is a bit more expensive, so it really depends on your preference. Happy hot potting!
