    Awesome Hotpot and BBQ has some pretty great lunch specials. It's $19.99 for unlimited servings of one protein (pork, beef, or chicken), and you can pay a bit extra for the premium cuts. They also have a self‑serve section with cold appetizers and desserts, and there was a decent amount to pick from. The beef and pork were on the fattier side, and I do wish the veggie platter was bigger. I like that the individual hot pot is included and you can choose your soup base. I got the Herbal Mushroom and my friend went with the Tom Yum Tomato. Both we're tasty with great depth. Service was friendly and attentive. Staff was checking on us constantly offering to bring us more meat! There's a time limit, but we didn't feel rushed. Overall, it's a solid lunch spot if you're craving hotpot and want something warm and filling without spending too much. I'd go back when I'm in the area.

    Awesome Hotpot & BBQ is a relatively new restaurant that took over another hotpot brand (Dahu). I haven't tried the old spot, but this new one is okay! We went during opening on a Saturday, and we were literally the only table there for lunch. They weren't fully ready for us, as they were still getting the apps and desserts ready in the help-yourself area. By the time we left, they added another side, which wasn't available when we were dining. Even though we had to wait a bit for them to set up all the apps and such, they didn't enforce their 2hr dining cap. Thus, we could take our time and enjoy, unlike some popular spots that would politely nudge you out once your time is up. We all had our individual hot pots. I chose mine with the classic soup option, like tomato, but they also have mushroom, tom yum, pork broth, and I think a spicy one. Limited options are available from their basic hot pot option. They have the standard like thinly sliced beef, chicken, lamb, shrimp paste, quail eggs, veggies like (watercress, spinach and cabbage), noodles like (vermicelli and instant noodles) and watermelon and fruit on the side. They also have frozen dumplings and some meatballs. Though don't expect a tremendous variety, perhaps unless you upgrade to their premium hotpot, because we only ordered the basic set, which honestly does the job, but perhaps not super exciting. The sauce station is good as other hot pots I've been to, and they have some dessert jellies and ice cream to finish off the meal. The matcha ice cream was actually good. I enjoyed it with their grass jelly on top.

    Came here twice ever since they rebranded themselves to Awesome Hotpot and BBQ. First time was a few weeks back when they had their late night promo for $19.99 after 9pm. Each person got to choose their own soup, drink, choice of carbs, choice of meat, and ice cream. Also got a selection of veggie. The sauces, appetizers, and other desserts were self serve. For the price, it was okay but certain cuts of meat, carbs, and soup cost extra and at that point I feel like I should just gone with the value AYCE menu because with the promo, only the meat you select is the only meat you can keep ordering. On my second visit, I got the value menu. Ordered everything on my phone through the QR code except the appetizers, desserts, and sauce. 5 stars for the appetizers alone, they had a great selection of choices with the favorite being the boneless chicken feet and potato salad. Service was friendly and prompt. Got everything I ordered. I'm so glad soup is included in their price now and also included drinks (jasmine tea, plum juice). Place is spacious and great for family gatherings. Chill environment.

    Good for large groups and individual hot pots. Located on the second floor of times square plaza, you can find this all you can eat hot pot spot that offers individual pots so ensure no sharing! They have private rooms that you can book with you and your friends to have a more intimate dinner setting. Each person gets their own individual hot pot soup base, but have the communal lazy susan turntable to get your food. Sauce bar is self serve with lots of options to choose from along with some snacks/ appetizers. Food quality here is not the best, definitely have had better cuts of meat at other hot pot spots. But this is good for groups and larger parties compared to other hot pot restaurants. They have a large menu of items to choose from like: lamb, beef, shrimp, dumplings, ham, sausage, shrimp paste, mussels, etc. Whatever you can think about for hot pot they probably have. Overall, I would come back here just for larger party dining. Not necessarily my go to spot for hot pot though.

    Dim sum
    Imelda M.

    Da Hu Hotpot is famous for their unlimited Hot Pot. Did you know they also offer all-you-can-eat dim sum? In search of a family friendly restaurant that pleases a variety of tastes, we took our family here. Due to differing tastes we opted not to share bowls of Chongqing-style hotpot. Instead we decided to try their AYCE dim sum. The verdict was that everyone liked it and we were all happy they had a good time.

    This place kept popping up on my Instagram feed so I decided to give it a try. If you're looking for an all-you-can-eat (AYCE) hotpot and dim sum experience, Daihu might seem like a solid option at first glance. However, after dining here on a Saturday night with a party of 5 , I can say that the experience left much to be desired. Seating & Atmosphere We were seated promptly upon arrival at 6:30pm, which is a plus. The restaurant itself is spacious, bright, and relatively clean, creating a comfortable dining environment. It's located on the second floor of Times Square with elevator and escalator access. Pricing & Hidden Costs The first red flag is the pricing. At over $50 per adult after tax on weekends, this place is already on the higher end for AYCE hotpot. But what's frustrating is the number of hidden costs: * Premium items cost extra despite being shown in the same menu * Drinks are not included, so even basic beverages come at an additional charge. * Soft serve ice cream isn't included either as advertised which is a letdown when most AYCE places at this price point offer desserts as part of the deal. There's also a limit to 1 per person for the mango pudding order. Portion sizes are tiny. * Dim sum is à la carte, meaning it's not part of the AYCE hotpot price, which can be misleading if you expected both to be included. Service & Food Delivery Issues One of the biggest issues is the service. Once seated, the first round of food takes an unusually long time to arrive. Then, as you move into subsequent rounds, items start going missing. You'll often need to chase down the staff just to get the food you ordered, which kills the AYCE experience. They only allow ordering from one device so one person of the group would have to do all the ordering and items are ordered by individual pieces - 3 fish balls, 4 pieces of lettuce etc which gets tedious. * Appetizers are not refilled, which is disappointing * Soup refills are not proactively offered, so you'll need to keep asking for it. * The misleading pictures and lack of clear explanations on the advertisements create confusion about what's actually included in the base price. Final Verdict For over $50 per person, Daihu falls short in both value and service. The long wait times, missing items, hidden charges, and lack of included essentials make it feel like you're being nickel-and-dimed rather than enjoying a seamless dining experience. You could easily find a better AYCE hotpot spot for the same price--or even less--without the hassle. Would I return? Not likely.

    Children's play area

    Located on the second floor of Times Square plaza in Richmond hill at the corner of Leslie and Hwy 7. This AYCE hot pot restaurant has a large footprint and has many seating options with booths, tables and private rooms. There is even a dedicated children's play area on premise. The food... the ordering menu looks extensive but many are for extra charge. With the competitive nature of the hot pot scene, the quality was lacking when compared to comparable shops. The soup lacked flavour and depth. And the meats are fresh but the grade maybe a little lower to compensate for costs. The self serve dipping sauce area was a little sparse and the snacks were a little past the warm state. The service... there were only 2 servers for the entire restaurant and they are scrambling around to satisfy everyone's needs.... When you order the food, they bring it out lickity split but for anything else, be prepared to play where are they busy with...

    Not so awesome when you find this in the appetizer.  " We wear gloves " they say.

    This definitely looks like someone was not wearing the supposed gloves. We lost our appetite. They gave us $5 coupons for the next visit. No thanks. Not going again.

    Came here for some dinnertime hotpot, and my experience overall was just ok. In terms of the good stuff, the menu items were extensive and had a good variety of meats. There were a good range of soup bases to choose from, I got the spicy schezuan one which definitely delivered on the spice. Now for the not so good stuff, my main complaint was for the speed of the service. The first order put in by our table took around 30 minutes to arrive. Also, the dessert items were not the greatest, the little puddings they have very little taste. Another thing to note is quality of the meat was okay, not particularly fresh.

    Pork bone broth

    Came here with friends on a busy Friday, but we were able to get a table with our own pots! The food came all at once, so we were able to see how much we ordered for the AYCE and could mix it in ourselves. It was fairly quiet aside from chatter like our table and the service was nice and quick. Make sure to ask them about the "all you can drink" menu for pop and juice!! It's only $1 per person.

    Nice facilities

    Came here for all you can eat dim sum on Saturday at about 11:30 am. This place is sparkling clean and the atmosphere is nice. The appetizer bar was a huge disappointment because at least 70% of the appetizers were completely gone. They were restocked at an extremely slow rate. Order your dim sum in large quantities at the beginning because the rate at which the food comes out is extremely slow. The staff are all quick and friendly so I'm sure it's a kitchen issue. We didn't get our ordered dim sum at least 40 min to an hour in. And they don't all come out at once. We got our initial order of dim sum in three waves. Shockingly to both my husband and I, the Lava Bun was REALLY good. I tried it just to try it and it ended up being my favorite dish. The shu Mai were a second favorite.

The steamed fish was also delicious. I enjoyed the complementary dessert which included sweet red bean porridge, cookies, and jelly. For dim sum, definitely DO NOT purchase the rice noodle in supreme fish soup and mushroom. It tasted like water cooked with mushroom and had no taste or fish flavor and a waste of money. The mango sago wasn't that good either and only came with a tiny bit of ice cream. Dim sum was pretty crowded, so would recommend booking a table for large groups. I enjoyed the abalone and chicken congee as well as the mustard green, clam, and preserved egg congee. The abalone on the abalone su mai was a bit overcooked and chewy since it's been heated too long. I liked the chicken feet, beef tendons, and ribs. The egg tart was delicious when warm and super soft on the inside.

The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

Most of the items were very well made. Not too salty and quite flavourful. You can taste MSG but it wouldn't be dim sum if you didn't taste it. Special mentions go to the Deep Fried Shrimp Ball with Almond because I love how it is coated with Almond Slices and it was not too oily. I also really liked the Deep Fried Octopus Tentacles since it was not battered like crazy and I loved the Salt and Pepper Fish. The E-Fu Noodles were a bit bland, but it might have been because everything else had more flavour to it. We originally ordered their duck, but since we came later in the day, it was sold out. I would recommend getting it when you visit. The customer service was not too bad. They had multiple servers walking around but you have to ask specific ones if you wanted to have more hot water for your tea or wanted to add an order. Standard customer service in a Chinese restaurant. I like the look of the restaurant since it is more of a banquet hall type with a bunch of tanks with fresh fish and assorted seafood.

    Asian queen is located on the west side of Bayview right around Loblaws…read more Its marketed as a "self serve" dim sum place, but really the only self serve is the tea and soy milk (more on this later). The pricing is quite similar if not the same as any other dim sum places in the area, but you do save on the infamous per person tea fee. Most if not all dim sum places will charge a "tea fee" for each adult in your party. So when you walk into dim sum you ask for a certain type of tea and you get charged $2.50 per head. At Asian queen they still have an upsell on the tea if you want but if you dont opt for anything you can get basic tea for free and save that fee. Also they have hot soy milk available for self serve too. In addition condiments (hot sauce, soy sauce etc) is also self serve. The dim sum is quite decent taste wise and they also have all your usual dim sum fare as well. This place is a bit more no frills then other fancy dim sum places. Most dim sum places also double as a banquet hall, while at Asian queen its purely for dim sum. Overall I have become a regular when its just a small quicker group gathering for dim sum I come here.

We ordered: - egg tarts: flaky pastry, sweet inside, typical egg tart but still good - siu mai - classic, juicy - chicken siu mai (new item menu, comes with 5 but smaller in size) - much more succulent in my opinion - steamed chicken feet - standard, a little spicy for me - sticky rice with chicken in lotus leaf - not great rewarmed - vegetarian bean curd sheet - not what I was expecting but still decent. Lots of vegetables wrapped within the sheets - chinese style pork sauage turnip cake - not bad, standard - deep fried glutinous chicken dumplings - interesting, usually with pork at other restaurants. Does not impact the taste. Crispy exterior, gooey interior before getting to the savoury center - steamed rice roll with deep fried fish - it is actually pretty good. The fish was very crunchy. Overall: 4/5 - I do not mind coming back at all.

    I came here for dinner on a weekday and it was not very busy. There were a lot of empty tables. I…read morecame here for dim sum months ago and it looks like they newly renovated. The food was good, as expected like a typical Chinese dinner. The portions were decent and the food had good flavour. It didn't wow but hit the spot. They don't have complimentary soup but we ordered their daily soup and it was reasonable priced. The highlight was the complimentary dessert which included a sweet potato sago, mango jello and almond cookies. The service was very good though. They were so attentive and quick to action. I believe this is the same owner as Yumi Legend.

    Tried 紫蘭軒 Purple Orchid for the first time and unfortunately it wasn't really my forte…read more Considering it's a relatively new restaurant, I was a little surprised by how basic and older everything inside felt. It's definitely a very casual dining environment. The tables are actually chunky mahjong tables covered with disposable tablecloths, so don't come expecting much in terms of atmosphere. Service was pretty average as well. Some of our dishes took quite a while to come out, and after waiting for so long, we eventually ended up cancelling a few of the remaining dishes. The food itself was a bit of a mixed bag. Some dishes were alright, but overall there wasn't anything that really stood out or made us want to come back. One thing to be aware of is that they automatically add a 12% service charge to the bill before tax, on top of the tea charge that you already typically pay at dim sum restaurants. Personally, I'm not a fan of automatic service charges, especially when the service itself was just average. Not every restaurant is going to be everyone's cup of tea, but unfortunately this one just wasn't for us and I don't think we'd come back.
