| - Came here with my parents on a Monday evening around 7pm. The first thing that caught my attention was the huge teddy bear at the reception, looks cute and cuddly.
We were welcomed by a young guy and took us to a table. We were seated at the lower level of the restaurant, you can take a few steps of stairs and get more tables, but I didn't go there so I don't know how big the restaurant actually is. On the level that we were, there are about 5 or 6 tables of 4 people, and half of them were occupied.
I ordered the tomato ox-tail soup, my parents ordered the Miso soup and Fish soup and we all loved it. Mine had actual tomato pieces and 2 generous pieces of ox-tail. The soup was salty enough and I didn't need to dip in salty sauces (soy).
I like how we can easily change the temperature of the hot plates to our own liking and I love the table setting, it helps save space on the table. The waiters were patient with us as we were ordering while looking at the menu. They came twice to refill the soup, not with the soup that you actually ordered but with a plain broth. I don't know if soft drinks are free, but the young guy who greeted us came and gave us 3 cans of soft drinks for free. Most of the foods that we ordered came in a quite small portion except the beef and lamb slices came in a full plate each.
It was a really good experience for me and my parents. The only reason why I'm putting 4 stars instead of 5 is the price and their lack of desserts. They only have chocolate fondue, which they give 1 marshmallow, 1-2 grapes and 1 slice of banana per person (it's not AYCE). Weekdays adult prices are $24.99 (+$2 for weekends) + you have to add your soup base which ranges from $3-$9 I believe. Minimum $27.99 an adult for an AYCE hot pot, I'd rather go to an AYCE for same price which offers different cuisines altogether (chinese, japanese, thai).
