Never tried hot pot before and all the places I wanted to try were closed so I opted for this location. As previously mentioned, they are a la carte so the bill was cheaper than I had expected, as opposed to ayce. We got 2 beef platters, mushrooms, noodles and the soup base was mix (spicy & reg) for $40+. We ordered a lot more meat but the lovely lady strongly suggested that two dishes were enough for two people (she was definitely right). We told her it was our first time and she was more than welcome to help us with our orders and what to do. She regularly checked up on us and made sure everything was good. I don't know if they always do this but she was nice enough to give us a plate of some kind of sesame/red bean snack for free! The broth was really good and I loved the homemade noodles. The space is also very clean and they cater to large groups!
