| - I have been itching to try this place since it opened. The concept seemed so attractive.
I went with my family on a Saturday night. So the basic premises of the hot pot is that there are individual pots, and a set menu of food for the price of $12.99. You pick the soup base, the kind of meat, the type of carbs, and there is a set for everything else you would get.
I ordered the Housemade Pork Bone Soup, side order of lamb, and vermicelli, the thicker kind.
When the food arrived, everything was set up nicely. Each person had about 8 pieces of meat, and smaller quantity of everything else. The table next to us had a table full of food, they probably had to order a lot of extra food.
I started cooking my food, and I noticed the broth was very flavourful. To me the broths were on the saltier side (and my mom would not stop commenting on it). At normal hot pot places, when they need to add to your soup, they normally add boiling water. But here, they give you more broth. Which would have been good if the original brother wasn't so salty. My mom ended up asking them for water to dilute the broth. I didn't dilute the broth, but I did drink a lot of water because of the broth.
In my opinion, it's really nothing special. I don't eat a lot/big appetite (in terms of quantity) but this set left me in limbo, I wasn't full, but I wasn't hungry either. I am not sure whether the sets would be satisfying for others whom eat a little more.
I don't think I would be returning here any time soon.
