When it's cold and raining outside, what do you crave? I often think of good bowl of pho or hot pot. Last time I had hotpot was back in Vancouver before I moved to Toronto and that is already 4 months ago! This is just unacceptable.
Thank goodness for my friend who drives and is kind enough to bring me to a AYCE hotpot place for lunch on a cold, freezing day. Most Hot Pot places don't open for lunch and it was difficult finding one that was open for business, but we did it! Mongolian Hot Pot (also known as Little Cattle) is one of few open for business at lunch time.
Inside of the restaurant is bright, spacious with lots of seating area.
It wasn't too busy when we dropped by since it was on a weekday and just around 12o'clock.
For lunch, you can get $10.99 for a individual pot where they give you one plate of lamb and beef as well as some vegetables on the side. Since my friend and I was starving, we decided to go for AYCE which was $13.99 (only $3 difference too, might as well go for AYCE!) You can pick the soup base depending on what you like. I wanted the regular soup and spicy so I went with the 'Little Sheep soup base for affectionate couples' which was $2.50 (LOL at asian menus)
Unlike some places, you get your own individual pot which was convenient.
The spicy soup looks really scary but trust me, it's not that spicy. Once the soup comes, you can order plates of beef or lamb and the pick up the rest of vegetables, noodles, sauces and drinks at the buffet station in the corner. There is pepsi, diet pepsi, 7up, Mountain Dew, Plum tea and more- so take your pick. You take the large plate that is provided for you on the table and walk over to the station to grab whatever you wish.
I added Sesame Oil, Chili paste, Raw egg and LOTS of cilantro to my sauce. You can mix and match whatever you like to suit your taste. I liked how you can pick how much of each item you want to try on the individual plate. Because when you order from menu (even if it's AYCE), sometimes you just want few pieces of vegetables instead of a whole plate.
I really enjoyed both of the soup base (regular and spicy) and appreciated how I could control the heat from my side. The servers constantly walk around refilling the soup base for you if you run out.
Keep in mind that your clothes will smell SO MUCH after this though, I would stay away from anything fancy (why would you when you go for hot pot anyways?) or dry clean.
Summary: It's hard to find a Hot Pot place that's open for lunch- for $13.99 per person, it's worth every penny and the quality of food is above average for a AYCE place. I've been back 3 more times since my first visit and it's become my go-to place for a Hot Pot!!
