| - The go-to place that my friends and I go for hot pot. They stay open really late which is a huge bonus when you feel like stuffing your face on one of those cold Canadian winter nights. My friends and I have been going here for years (5+).
The service here is spectacular. Usually, at AYCE places, service can be a drag and places can be understaffed, but 100 degrees has always had spectacular service. Everything including servers coming around to refill your chrysanthemum tea to taking your 5th order - the servers are friendly, polite, and easy to understand (i.e. they speak English well).
The food here is solid. The quality is above average compared to most hot pot places. But let's be honest here, the goal when you go to AYCE is to stuff your face with decent quality food. If you want high quality sit-down stuff, go to North 44, Auberge, or something. Not sure what all the people on here complaining about quality are talking about (priorities for AYCE should be 1) location 2) quality of food compared to other AYCE 3) price). There is a good selection of choices for sauces from soya sauce and egg to satay to peanut sauce to hot sauce and chopped onions. The meats (slices and balls) are fresh. The veggies are good as well. The pork blood is alright and the pork liver is usually quite juicy (if you like that sort of thing). Of course, they also have the standard stuff that you would find at hot pot places such as udon, normal noodles, tong ho (a type of veggie), And to finish it all off, they have really good coconut ice cream for desert.
The late night price of $13.99 is simply ridiculous for AYCE. As I said before, the ones complaining about the quality of food (you're going to AYCE... what do you expect), wait times (that just means that they're busy and that other people like coming here... it's your fault for not reserving a table), not being anything special (well duh, it's AYCE) are nitpicking at minutia. For the price ($13.99!!!!), location (conveniently at Highway 7 and Woodbine, near World Bowl, many Asian houses (lol), and lots of BBT places), and quality of food, 100 Degrees is pretty much as good as it gets.
