| - This restaurant is one reason why the hot pot restaurants in the Toronto area are so much better than the hot pot restaurants in Boston. This restaurant was suggested to my family by my uncle who lives in Markham, and my cousins like to go here. The last time I went, I left the restaurant extremely happy because I was so full and I found the food to be tasty. What I also really loved about this place was the huge variety they had to offer, giving me a lot of flexibility to create my own tasty hot pot soup compared to some of the other hot pot places I have been to. Ever since I went to this hot pot restaurant, my standards for hot pot have gotten higher, and after going to many hot pot restaurants in Boston, I left usually disappointed.
From what can recall, I went for an all you can eat buffet special that they were offering one night. I had so much beef and lamb, and overall, I found every beef and lamb meat to be deliciously tasty and flavourful. I also had a lot of beef and fish balls, and I also thought they were some of the tastiest I had in Toronto so far.
I recall that they have a huge variety of noodles, ranging from thin Vermicelli noodles to thick Udon noodles. I liked the Shanghai style noodles the most. I remember having at least three different noodles in my broth, and they were all tasty. The vegetables, such as the tofu and cabbage were fresh, and were also tasty with the nice and hot broth.
As for the interior, when you sit down, you actually get your own electronic flat top stove that cooks the broth for you, and I liked the fact that it was actually the table surface. I thought the place was spacious and comfortable and the restaurant staff was pretty friendly.
I heard that this place has a few locations in California, so the next time I go to Northern California, I'll keep this place in mind. Overall, I thought I had the best hot pot dinner in the Toronto area so far and ever since I ate dinner at that place, I now have really high expectations for hot pot restaurants. This is not a bad choice if you want something really tasty to eat and to escape from the somewhat terrible Toronto winters at the same time.
