| - First off - if you are looking for standard Chinese hot pot or AYCE-style hot pot, do NOT come here. This is a differently style of hot-pot cuisine.
That being said, the style of hot-pot here is a humongous stone pot with a choice of different types of fish. The menu choices were mainly Northern/Western Chinese dishes, with a few other regional dishes tossed in. We ended up getting the Szechuan broth with catfish - the fish they offer there is priced by the pound (the catfish is $10 per pound - they have other types). There's probably a reason why it isn't AYCE - the size of the bowl and what you get is humongous, it will fill you up no problem if you don't have a large group.
The quality of the food is excellent, considering the price that it can add up to - the total meal for 2 ended up being $63, but that was only because we had 7 side sides (each side dish is $1.99 extra, not included with the hotpot). Did have to wait a little bit for the food to come, but that was because they prepare it all fresh and not just frozen food on a plate.
Service was great and friendly, though they only speak Mandarin (I'm Cantonese). The restaurant was clean and occupancy was OK. Definitely a different style of hot pot, but not an unpleasant one.
Overall: Great place to bring the family in the winter, especially if you want the spicy broth to really keep you warm. Not a value-pick though - if you're looking for cheap standard hot pot, look elsewhere.
