This place is GIGANTIC. you can also make reservations ahead of time! \n\nSadly, the service is rather lacking and the quality of hotpot is only so-so. If you speak mandarin, they tend to be more responsive. Still, for hotpot where the customers cook their own food, the service is UNBELIEVABLY slow. had to wait maybe 20 minutes for anyone to come, had to grab my own menus, and then another 30 mins for uncooked ingredients.. The servers look like young Asian undergraduates who are not very experienced, so they don't really know who is serving which table, forget your order, combine your meat orders so you can't tell how many portions there are... yah, I'm obviously not a very happy camper. Also, usually it should be about $12 per person but somehow my bill went up to $21... and I don't even know if I got all my orders.. But since it was Chinese New Year, I didn't make a fuss.\n\nOverall, the ingredients were so-so, but at least you don't get tummy aches after. And you get a variety of spicy chilli and peanut sauce to dip your hotpot cooked food in. Also, I like the udon noodles better than glass noodles, much more substantial meal. And, one of the HUGE fishballs are teochew fishballs, which come stuffed with minced meat (my favorite!!). Oh, before I forget, they actually had hand made steamed pork dumplings, VERY GOOD. although they look like plain soggy things, they were very well marinated and didn't even need vinegar or soy sauce to pair with!\n\nThey also have stir fry, which looked pretty good cos you can constantly see real fire in the kitchen POOFING away. so I might give that a try, sometime, maybe.\n\nIf you wanna visit, don't come hungry, and be patient!"^^ . .
