| - With the cold weather, the boyfriend and I chose hot pot. Not knowing they were doing BOGO, that was extra nice. They have been opened for 2 months so they are still on their soft opening phase.
The waitress we had was super friendly and helpful. She went through the menu with us and let us know what was included and what was extra costs (I know it says on the menu but it was just nice!), she also had recommendations which we went with - Chicken something, came with a green paste - DELICIOUS! It felt homemade and we both enjoyed this dish, $5.99. Forgot the name, sorry. I took a picture of it though :)
We got the Tomato soup base and the Pork soup base. Both full of flavour, a little salty to drink, but great with the food. Sadly we didnt get to try their Beef as it was not prepared yet. We only had the choice of Lamb or Pork, we both went with Lamb. Everything was FRESH. We were pleasantly surprised. Don't get why Japanese udon was $1 more, but we got it anyway.
Each meat plate comes with only 4 slices - a lot less from the advertised photo on yelp. An additional mest plate also only comes with 4 slices and for $2.50 - pretty pricy, imo. But with the BOGO, we thought we'd just use the extra money and got two more plates.
We also got drinks: a wintermelon tea - a little too sweet, and a lemon black tea - recommended, so yummy! I think the bf said the drinks were like $5 which is almost half of the hot pot itself, pretty expensive if you compare it like that. But no compliants on my end cause they give you $5 worth. I had the drink from beginning to end, normally it would be gone half way through.
The bill ran us $40 in the end, not bad for a weekend. We enjoyed our meal, the company of each other, and we were full. NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN ALL YOU CAN EAT. I think the idea is pretty neat. The pots are quite small so you cant throw everything in like you, well, i, normally do. Soup runs out fast too, but they come by for soup refulls pretty often.
Overall I would say it is a solid 3 star. I gave an additional star because the waitress did an awesome job!
