  • somewhat schizophrenic... restaurant has 2 sides...one side appears to be a standard Chinese buffet but we didn't do that side. We went on the 'hot pot' side which apparently replicates a fairly common Chinese method of social eating...think fondue. You get gas fired cookers on your table, the number of cookers depends upon the number of diners and we had 2 cookers for 6 adults. One was half filled plain type of mixture, I'm not sure it was oil, it appeared to be more like a chicken broth. The other side was spiced with chilis. They provide wire scoops/utensils for putting items in or taking them out. The buffet had a variety of fish, meat, vegetables, tofu, crab etc. and you load a plate and put into the rapidly boiling mix and most stuff cooks rather rapidly. The quality of the items seemed to be quite good but the mixtures boil down and have to be replenished and the chili side seemed to get most of the play and somewhat gunked up after an hour or so. I found I could wrap some mushies and beef inside of some spinach and tofu skin, put it into the spicy side and 2 minutes later, get a really tasty lumpy concoction. Tried the dried blood...not for me. Crab was just too much trouble, shrimp was awesome. If you do this, make sure that you get at least a half regular and half spicy pot because I found I had little interest in the plain side. But it seems pretty clear that this isn't as much about the food but rather about sitting around and talking and getting to eat some things while you hang. It's less about eating and more about socializing...which I gather is somewhat common in many areas in China. Never bothered with the desserts but they seemed to be nothing special. I had to take some rice from the regular buffet side (it was really good). All in all, it was a fun evening and I think we spent about 2 1/2 hours there and I doubt I ate enough to hurt them for the cost. Seemed to me that the 'hot pot' side was mostly Chinese and that caucasians like me wouldn't normally know about this or what to do...but you do...think fondue
