The interior leans heavily into traditional Chinese decor, giving it a more immersive, themed feel than your typical hotpot place. They even have gowns you can choose from if you want to dress up a bit and lean into the experience, which adds a fun touch. Not something you see everywhere. Service 4/5 Service was smooth overall. Staff were attentive and things came out at a good pace. It hasn't been overly busy the times I've gone, so hard to say how it holds up during peak hours, but no issues from my visits so far. Food 3.5/5 Solid selection of hotpot ingredients, with enough variety to keep things interesting. Quality was consistent across the board. They also have a bamboo-style drink that stands out visually and fits the whole theme well. Nothing felt lacking, but also nothing that completely blew past expectations. One thing I did notice is it hasn't been packed during my visits, which either means I've been going at quieter times or there are aspects I haven't fully experienced yet during peak hours. Still, for the atmosphere, parking convenience, and overall quality, it's an easy spot to come back to.

Awesome Hotpot and BBQ has some pretty great lunch specials…read more 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.

Finally lively AYCE hotpot with wagyu…read more Liuyishou is a popular outfit for traditional hotpot, and here in the GTA they have long moved to AYCE format. This Scarborough location has been around for a long time as seen by the dated interior. Nonetheless it's still popular with some good promos to compete among the huge swath of Asian restaurants in this plaza. We chose an array of hotpot broths including the house special spicy, sukiyaki, pork bone broth & tomato soup. We came here to celebrate a family occasion, and Liuyishou delivered with its good selection of broths, meats, seafood, and veggies. The $8 Wagyu add-on on weekend was a nice upgrade--thinly sliced, tender, and worth trying if you want something a bit more indulgent. The $3.99 all-you-can-drink station was a pleasant surprise too, making it easy to keep refilling without thinking twice. Service was quick even despite it being relatively busy and a bit loud during dinner peak. Note the pricing per adult ($34.99 weekend dinner) excludes the soup base which is about $17 for a large shareable pot or $9 for an individual sized pot per guest so the bill can rack up. The wagyu and drinks are add-ons too. They do have a 2 adult + 1 kid family combo for $73.99 on weekends with one drink pitcher excluding soup base. Dessert is included such as taro soft serve, rice ball soup & cold jelly. Skip it or hit it? Hit it for a casual, authentic hotpot experience. Wish they replaced the worn seats.

They have a sauce bar and the washroom is very clean and has mouthwash and floss. They even have feminine hygiene products which is quite thoughtful. Service was pretty good. They came to refill our soup every now and then and food came quite quick. I liked how they offer a big pot or separate individual pots per person. Now on to the actual food, I thought the food was just sooo average. Nothing was bad but at the same time nothing stood out to me... I vastly prefer Daimaru and Haidilao over this place. The soup base here was more bland with less ingredients. The meat was not as tender and fatty. The veggies were fine but the lettuce was a bit bitter. I did like how they have a sauce bar but their soy sauce is VERY salty so be careful. I also wish they had more dessert options. I'm glad I tried it but I don't think I would return considering Daimaru offers the same lunch AYCE at the same price with better food overall and more selections. There are some good things about this place but it's just not enough for me to come back. They also accept credit card which is nice.

The price was really attractive from some friends posted to my group. So we decided to take a look…read moreand try. The dining room has different parts. There was a big triangle table that people sit side by side. And also table of 4 or table of 8. We have 3 people that be reserved a table of 4. They have lunch menu that we could have customized noodle soup or the personal Shabu Shabu. I had a coconut TomYum noodle soup with beef and shrimp. And my husband had a 2 meat shabu shabu with teriyaki base. The meat we chose beef and lamb. The teriyaki base came pretty quick. We started boiling the base and then we got the 2 bowls of meat, 1 bowl of vegetables, and a bowl of the noodles. The base was pretty sweet, but still good with all the ingredients. The dipping sauces were set on a central table that we made our own. I like sesame oil, sesame sauce, Shacha sauce with green onion and cilantro to mix them up. My coconut Tom Yum soup came a bit late. The meat was a good portion, the shrimp was 3 big pieces of tiger shrimp. And there was some veggies at the bottom with noodles. They were all in good portion, the only problem was the soup, it didn't seem to have coconut in it, the taste and the color looked like Tom Yum soup only. For lunch time, my Shabu Shabu was $16.xx+tax and my noodles soup was $9.80+tax. The price was pretty decent. I would like to come back and try other combinations.

We told ourselves that we would monitor the waitlist on the drive. Started to drive/chat and randomly checked the waitlist to see 38 parties already joined. I swear it didn't feel like 10 minutes had even pass. We joined at 5:56pm and got seated just after 8pm. My friend and I did a lot during the two hours so I would recommend doing something in the meantime to dine here. Dinner was great here. Ordered the shaoxing wine drunken chicken pot and added additional veggies, wonton and mushroom. Salt and pepper corn is a must try. Lemon tea was so refreshing here. Servers come by for soup refills and they help clear the impurities of the soup. Great service overall. Although on the pricier side, this was still 5 stars overall.
