  • This was my first hot pot experience since living in Toronto (been living in downtown for the past 21 years). There aren't a lot of hot pot options in downtown (since most of them are in uptown) so I finally grew a pair and tried this place out. I was famished and in need of something hardy. We arrive on a Sunday at 4:40PM. It was surprisingly a little busy. We sat by the door (BAD CHOICE...door kept opening and bursts of cold air gave me and my boyfriend shivers). Recommendation: ask to sit close to the back. We got seated and ended up waiting 5 minutes before the wait staff noticed we needed help. I had to flag them down to get a menu. C'mon...this shouldn't have happened (hence the 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5). The waiter explained the menu to us very fast (couldn't catch everything). He mentioned that some broths and menu items cost extra (such as the seafood - salmon, lobster tail, mussels, etc). We were given the seafood mix (1 plate each) for free...very nice compliment to our meal for sure. Loved it. This made up for the 5 minute wait. In terms of drinks and sauces for your hotpot, the station is located beside the cash desk. Drinks (plum juice, soy milk and honey tea) were available. I'm pretty sure the soy milk was bought in bulk or across the street since the remaining bit of my soy milk had the powder taste during my last sip. Sauces (the usual: hoisin, peanut, soy, spicy, etc) were there...you can mix as much as you can. I like the sauces variety a lot. Our food came all at once to cook. It was overwhelming since we literally ordered 1 of everything (and doubles of some). We were able to finish 95% of our order because we were STARVING. Recommendation: do not leave the noodles cooking for too long with the seaweed. The burning smell is very similar to the cigarette smell. I thought someone was smoking outside and the wind blew in..but he waiter said to take the stuff out of one of our pots because of that smell. He was right.... At around 6PM, it got really busy. Packs of 20 somethings and families came in. This is definitely a good sign. OVERALL, I would say I enjoyed my experience a lot. Both me and my boyfriend needed a 2 hour nap when we got home because we ate to the max. It cost us $21-23 each person. Not bad considering we ate until we passed out. I would go back for sure.
