Reservations:
- On weekends including Fridays, they don't take reservations
- We got there at 715pm on a chilly Friday night and waited approx. 35 minutes for 2 people - not too bad (since it's indoors, you aren't waiting outside)
Price:
- Cheaper than both Chine and Morals on a Friday
- For 2, it was $66 all in including tax and tip
Soup Bases:
- There is a normal soup base and a spicy soup base
- We opted for the half and half at $5
- Soup bases are an extra $2.50 to $5
- Less variety compared to other places but the simpler soup bases really brought out the flavour of the lamb
Food:
- Unlimited soy milk and plum juice which is nice
- A lot of things come in 3s (fish ball, tofu, mushroom) which means its more convenient with groups of 2 or 3
- Less variety than its competitors but more than enough to get your assortment in
- All the ordering is by paper (3 rounds) with the exception of the lamb and beef slices
- You have to request the meat from waiters directly so it's technically unlimited (during our visit, we found the waiters to be quite responsive to our requests for more meat which was a big plus) but I can imagine this getting annoying when it's extra busy
Seating:
- For groups of 5, the 5th person in the boothstyle seats sits on the end which is a little awkward; better to sit at regular tables if you're a bigger group
- Quite spacious inside and not too crowded
Service:
- Pretty decent overall, they had enough staff to service the restaurant enough
Overall, if you're not picky on soup base and want a decent hotpot place, this is a good option.
