I really wanted to like this place. It is in the centre of West Chinatown so it would be very convenient to stop by and keep warm on very cold days.
We stopped by here on a weekday night and the dinner all you can eat price was only $19.99. The price is worth it's not so great quality. The food was decent, and edible, nothing too exciting. There was also not many different types of broths to choose from, there were extra charges for some of them too. Some items like a variety of mushrooms and seafood were all also extra charges which didn't give much to choose from.
It was very uncomfortable eating there since the entire restaurant was very unsanitary. Many dead bugs near the table and window from the booth we were sitting at. And there were so many flies flying around the sauces self-serve table. Some flies were also in some of the sauces. As well flies were flying around during our entire meal. They are literally everywhere. The utensils provided were also not cleaned properly and were still dirty.
They were also understaffed. Only one worker serving all tables during the busiest dinner rush. However, one reason why I didn't give this place any lower was because of his service. Even though, it was busy and only him on the floor, he still was very friendly and assured all guests received all orders and enjoyed their meals. Here and there we had some small talks and laughs with him, which made our dinner a bit more enjoyable.
I guess I recommend this place if you're desperately wanting some Hot Pot, but until they fix their bug problems, it would be difficult for me to go back.
