I love hot pot! I think I've been to almost every hot pot place in GTA except for this one. My first time here was a pretty good experience.
First thing I noticed when I walked in was the male waiter on duty was friendly and asked if I had hot pot before, and whether I would like a small (for 1 person) or larger hot pot (usually for 2 people).
The standard soup was a chinese herbal soup base, I think even this basic soup was an extra $1 charge. There were other soup options for a bit extra. The ingredients you pick yourself at the buffet like area. There were side dishes (seaweed, spicy bamboo shoots) and dessert in plastic containers and trays (coconut biscuits, prawn crackers, fungus dates cold sweet dessert).
For the drink fountain, they only had pop and plum juice when I went. No chrysanthemum tea or others. Not a big deal of course, better to have unlimited plum juice compared to other places where you need to pay extra.
Service was alright. Would have liked 2 sets of chopsticks though ... one for raw food, one for cooked food. Also I should have went for a larger pot since the soup got really thick from the ingredients near the end of my meal (they refilled it but I should have asked for them to completely change out the soup).
A wonderful place for hot pot, would recommend! Looks modern and my clothes did not smell bad or anything afterwards.
