    Finally got to try this hotpot place out. We ordered the big seafood platter and the fried rice. You could add unlimited meat as well but it was so much food, we actually didn't really order a ton extra. The seafood was decently fresh. Our shrimp was not though. No matter how we cooked it, it had a really weird, break apart texture, like it has been frozen for too long. I didn't enjoy the flavor of it and I felt the same about the scallops. Really the meat was the best for me and the fish slices and fresh fish balls. We ordered the tomato soup base and the coconut. The coconut was nice but not as creamy as I would have liked. I make my own for hot pot at home so I maybe just being a bit picky. They do refill your soup with the exact soup you ordered, which I am a huge fan of. Nothing worse than having your soup watered down. The tomato base was nice and tangy. I think I preferred the coconut and wish we could have ordered potato noodles to soak it up. The sauce bar was great. I quite liked the spicy Thai sauces which had a funky flavor. Definitely not the same sauce experience as you would normally have in Chinese hot pot. They also refill and kept it very very clean, which I appreciated given it's a shared space. The dessert section is huge. But I will say, it was not good. Very watered down or super sugary desserts that we just didn't love. I did enjoy the fresh slice of pineapple though and mixed it with the jelly to make my own little combo dessert. They had a soft serve machine but it was really water and not good ice cream. Bit of a disappointing end. Given the ton of other hot pot options in Markham/Richmond Hill, I think this would not be my top choice. It's a gorgeous restaurant and very clean, presentation is great and the staff are so friendly, but the food wasn't to my taste. As always, I think you should give it a try and it maybe fit your flavor preferences. Given how nice the staff are, I was still very happy we came to give it a try. If my friends were to vote to come here again, I would not object. I maybe just stick with meat and veggies.

    Seafood platter for two

    One of my friend recommended this place and I was highly impressed! The decor and seating is very cute and bright. The seats were comfortable and spacious. The staff were generally pretty attentive as well. We got their new seafood combo for two which was $80. It came with unlimited beef and lamb, along with a small fried rice, fries/popcorn chicken/onion rings platter. Their signature tom yum soup base was so flavourful. There is an extensive sauce bar with some unique Thai sauces. There is also AYCE shrimp crackers, and some other appetizers. Their AYCE dessert bar had 10+ dessert options to pick from. Overall, although not fully AYCE, we were stuffed at the end of the night. We had some leftovers which they allowed us to bring home. It came to around ~$100 for two people which was fair and in par with some AYCE places. The soup base is $15 for one flavour and $17 for two flavours. No additional cost for the sauce bar. If you pay cash, it's 5% off.

    A friend recommended a Thai hotpot restaurant in Markham called Jiyu Thai Hotpot 集漁泰式海鮮火鍋. The place is clean and comfortable, the ingredients are fresh, and the beef in the set menu is all-you-can-eat! There's also a great variety of desserts, including soft-serve ice cream . What impressed me the most was their Thai-style dipping sauce--so flavorful and authentic! Combined with their warm and attentive service, it's truly a hotpot spot worth recommending!

    Location/Service This place is located by Gibson Dr (north of Warden/Steeles), in the same plaza as Chatime and Alley. There is underground parking available that's free, so take advantage when you think there's no parking available. Interior is very modern with very good lightning. I like how spacious it is and you don't feel crammed in between the tables. Everything's all modern with high quality. Service is top-notch! Staff were so nice, explained the menu well and was attentive to each table. And offered takeout boxes without asking. Food This place isn't AYCE, but sort of also AYCE. You choose a set menu of either a meat or a seafood option. I was with my family so we didn't getting a seafood choice for 3 people. The seafood comes once - with abalone, crab legs, fish and shrimps. But the meat is actually AYCE - so you can order multiples of beef slices and such. This is why service was top-notch cause it was a little confusing to order. Appetizers and desserts are also AYCE. Food general was very good - I love the Thai style of soup bases you can choose from. Food quality (both meat and seafood) was good as well. I love how they pre-cut everything and prepped a lot of it for you, so you really just boil, let it cook and enjoy eating. Staff also come to help you if required. Appetizers and desserts were great as well - I like the variety they offer. Overall, I really like this place - it is a little bit on the pricy end - but justifiable with the service and quality.

    Came here on a Friday evening around 630pm with two friends that were visiting town and were stuffed and happy when we left! We were very pleased with the ambiance of the place, the quality of the food, and quantity of food. The above ground parking was quite full, but there was plenty of underground parking at this time. We ordered the coconut soup base, and a la carte with a couple extra items -- our bill came to about 60/person, but we definitely could have cut a couple items and still be quite full. Our meal came with some complimentary dishes like rice that we were not expecting so that was a bonus. Additionally the place has a complimentary dessert bar with fresh fruit and desserts that's AYCE. Keeping that in mind, the pricing is quite comparable to other hot pot places. We can definitely see ourselves coming back!

    We been here Several times Food was delicious and fresh Clean place with nice decor Very good service All you can eat dessert

    We ordered this set, but the menu doesn't mention that you need to pay an extra $15-$18 for the soup base.

    We ordered the $78.98 hotpot set, but the menu doesn't mention that you need to pay an extra $15-$18 for the soup base. You cannot find anywhere in the menu mentioning that you need to pay extra for the soup base. I asked the waiter if I could use hot water as the base, and he said no. Also, we were there during the week of Christmas, and they canceled all the other hot pot lunch combos and the canceled unlimited beef and lamb slices. The restaurant only gave us one plate of meat in the $78.99 combo. I think that's deceptive! They can change the menu after we sit down. This restaurant is not honest.

    Found this via social media and decided to give it a try. We came on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. Upon our arrival, we were awed by the interior decor - a very upscale vibe with great lighting. Restaurant was also very clean - including their restroom. We ordered the special menu for 2 people that included Ayce beef and lamb slices. Soup bases are not included in the price - we ordered tomato and coconut soup bases. They have an open dessert table as well as a soft serve ice cream machine that's all you can eat. We paid $114 in total for two people, tips included. I feel that it's a good value for the amount of food we got and the quality. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    4.5/5 (Dec 7, 2025) This time I came with my family to celebrate my belated birthday. AYCE dinner on the weekend needs to add $2, so $37.99 + $2 per guest, we ordered 2 soup bases which cost $13.99 extra. There is 5% discount if pay by cash. We have 1 hour 45 mins to order foods and 2 hours for dinner which was enough for us. The fish maw and chicken soup base has become my favourite and the tomato soup base was also good. The dining hall was full and there was a small waiting queue. Service was great as there were many servers who were friendly, efficient and polite & they came to us from time to time to refill soup bases & checked if everything was alright. There was a big list of food to choose from, all ingredients were fresh & presentations were nice. We really enjoyed the ambiance! I personally found Jiyu outperforms many other AYCE hotpot places as it is value for money. We'll definitely come back.

    Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

    The service at this restaurant really stood out as being excellent. From the time of making reservation through the phone, to the entire duration of the meal and afterward, we felt that the service was very attentive, helpful, professional, and friendly. When making the reservation, the person on the phone was very informative and told us that if we come before 4 pm on the weekend, there was a special promotion of a free plate of choice of meat for the hot pot. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful - bright, modern, and airy with lots of greens. Food came out relatively quickly and they set up the hot pot for us. You can get 2 different types of soup base in a single pot (with a partition in the middle), so we ordered the tomato and coconut soup bases. Both soup bases were pretty mild and didn't have too strong of a flavour, which was perfect as you could add / mix in your own sauces, seasonings, and garnishes. There were a lot of staff around, and multiple ones came by our table to check if everything was ok and if we needed anything extra a couple of times throughout the meal. They even peeled the shrimps for us - what a VIP service not offered at any other hot pot restaurant I had been to. First they asked if we wanted the shrimps peeled. We said yes, so they blanched the raw shrimps on sticks quickly in the boiling hot pot, then went to the back to peel them (presumably manually by hand). Shortly after, they came back out with the peeled shrimps - ready for us to cook in the hot pot. The Seafood Hot Pot Meal Combo contained a lot of 'signature' items such as big pieces of abalone, jumbo scallops (the whole thing - not just the 'body' of the scallop), surf clams, mussels, shrimps on sticks, white fish, fish & shrimp paste, and more. In a lot of other hot pot places, you might not find abalone on the menu, or it would be offered for extra charge. The combo also came with a basket of vegetables (bok choy, lettuce, mushrooms, cut up corn on the cob, sweet potato / yam, and tofu). We asked for extra leafy green vegetables, and they came out with a giant basket of the extra vegetables. Each hot pot meal combo also came with Seafood Fried Rice and a small appetizer / side of French fries and onion rings. You can substitute the fried rice with noodles if you'd like. I liked the Thai elements in this restaurant (different from Chinese hot pot places), such as the coconut soup base, variety of Thai sauces available, shrimp crackers, and Thai desserts. In addition to the hot pot combo, we ordered extra items on the menu such as the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice. This came out in a big portion - great for sharing. I liked the big chunks of real fresh pineapple, in addition to the smaller pieces of pineapple mixed in with the rice (the canned version of pineapple). It also contained shrimps, golden raisin, lap cheong (Chinese sausage), and pork floss. So if you're vegetarian or pescatarian, you can ask for some of these ingredients to be ommitted or put on the side. The AYCE dessert section includes small portions of fresh fruits (e.g. watermelon), Thai puddings, and jellies - a lot of them contained coconut (my favourite!). There was also a self-serve ice cream machine that had soft-serve ice cream with cones.

    Beautiful green interior, impeccable service and delicious food! After all the hype on social media about this place recently, decided to go check them out! It's a Thai hot pot chain from Asia, and it did not disappoint. It's mainly seafood combos that you'd order from and it's not cheap, but the quality is definitely premium compared to your other regular Chinese hot pot places. The table top had a wireless charging function which was super cool! They had a sauce bar with shrimp chips, crackers and different Thai sauces. Desserts are located right beside the sauce bar and is all you can eat dessert, ranging from puddings, dessert soups and an ice cream machine. They only have three soup options so we tried all three. The tomato and tom yum soup base is so good, I was drinking the soup by the bowl! They started off our meal with a sampler plate of fries, onion rings and chicken cutlet. The food options we got were: Curry crab 4/5 - This was $30, which was a steal. Not sure if it was fresh crab though, but the curry taste was great. Use the free shrimp chips you get by the sauce bar and dip it into the curry - it was amazing! Meal for 3 combo 5/5 - Came with 6 people, so we got 2 of the meal for 3 combo as per our waiter. It was a good amount of food with beautiful presentation. The combo came with a variety of seafood and vegetables that were great quality. You get things such as abalone, scallops, shrimp and more! Bonus* They have a designated person who peels shrimp all night for you. So you don't even have to lift a finger! What amazing service! Thai ice tea 3/5 - A little bland and tasteless. But refreshing with the Thai hot pot. Mango sticky rice 5/5 - Not part of the AYCE desserts but a must get for the table. Warm sticky rice with mango and a sweet sauce on top. The perfect combo! Our server, Kevin was super attentive and helpful with our ordering and his service was soooo good! He was always around and knew exactly what we wanted at all times. Saw me drinking the tomato soup by the bowl and would bring extra soup and extra tomatoes for me to put into my soup - how caring! Overall, the experience was amazing! The interior was so beautiful and modern and food was such great quality. Definitely a must try!

    Came here for a bday dinner with a friend. The place is super clean and the decor is beautiful. We ordered the seafood platter for two that could easily feed 3 people. They deshell the shrimp for you on the spot which is a nice touch. Loved their sauce and dessert station which is included in the price. If we had more people, we could've added the curry crab to try. Will come back for sure.

    A cool new place! I had never tried Thai Hot pot before and this is the most flavorful meal ever! I could just drink the soup and be happy For a party of three women, we ordered the meal for two people and then added on a curried crab as well as some marinated clams and ramen. It was a perfect amount of food. My favorite part was the large buffet of condiments for each person to customize their own dipping sauce! Desserts were pretty good too. We did give the ultimate Chinese compliment of 'its not too sweet '! The restaurant itself is spacious and clean. Very well lit! The server was pretty attentive. We were pleasantly surprised when he came and offered to peel our shrimp for us! Pretty reasonably priced, we paid about $65 each. I am excited to bring other friends here to try!

Both the coconut curry and tamarind coconut red curry have very rich, creamy, and flavourful sauces. We had the spice level mild for both dishes, but that was still too hot for me, personally. That has nothing wrong to do with the dishes, but just my personal tolerance level. The coconut curry was a treat to eat. The pork jowl was very gummy and chewy. There was also a fried, battered leaf in the dish to provide a crunchy texture to the dish. The tamarind curry was equally as good. The braised beef was a little sweet and tender. There are also nuts in the dish to provide that crunchy texture. The tofu spring rolls we ordered provided much needed relief from the spiciness of the curry dishes. I would have some spring rolls in between to help subside the spicy sensation of the chilis. The spring rolls was surprisingly filling. Our group of 2 was not able to finish all of the tofu rolls and had to take some home. We ended the dish with a delightful order of mango sticky rice. It was another order that helped counteract the the spicy, burning sensation my tongue was having. We appriciated the vibe and look of the place. There were properly thought out furnishings around the space and the walls. Service was also top tier. Our waiter was very patient explaning the dish description, the spice levels, and also saying how the dish is pronounced.

When we called in around 2pm to reserve 6pm table, they were full, only have a spot at 5:30pm and dining time for 1.5 hours. They were pretty busy when we arrived around 5:45pm. And so many people waited outside for tables. We were lucky to book it in advanced. The server was so nice and patient to introduce the popular dishes to us. I couldn't tell by the name of the dish, but I remember what she told me the good ones. The App we ordered the shrimp rolls (Goong Moun $15.95). There were 4 big rolls. The meat was shrimp and port mixed, a little bit spicy and salty. You must dip the fish sweet sauce together, that would make it tasty and not that salty. The main we got a pork curry dish and Tom Yum beef mild (Leng Tom Yum $35.95). My little girl loved the beef without the Tom Yum sauce so much. But I liked the curry sauce more, however, there was no veggies in it. This one was a bit expensive (Kor Moo Gaeng Kua $25.95) with a few pieces of pork only. The 2 main dishes were both come with rice. We ended up with packing up the rice and the sauce home for another meal. It's really tasty meal, and we would definitely come back again for other dishes.

I was dining solo today, so I only ordered one dish: the Khao Soi Soft‑Shell Crab, which was marked as a recommended item on the menu. The curry noodle soup itself was delicious, with that classic Thai‑style sweet curry flavour. But the protein‑to‑noodle ratio was disappointing. It was a serious noodle overload, noodles in the soup plus a pile of crispy fried egg noodles on top. Carb coma incoming. The toppings were minimal: a few bean sprouts and a small fried soft‑shell crab. The crab was tasty, but overall the dish didn't feel like good value for the price. It's something I'm glad I tried once, but I'd move on to another dish next time.

He had the fried chicken wings & said they were delicious. When I arrived I ordered the beef pad thai. It came relatively quickly & was really delicious. I would definitely come back & try some other dishes. Service I was surprised that my husband & I were the only people in the restaurant. Hubby said that they had been doing mostly take out orders. In any case, service was attentive & polite. There was a young man who took my order and another lady who was preparing things around the restaurant. It was relaxed and a nice atmosphere. Ambiance It's very colourful inside the restaurant. The walls are painted with cute designs. I liked it. The washrooms are down the hall on the main level. I didn't like how cluttered that hallway is though. I hope they clear away some of the restaurant supplies from that hallway to the bathroom. The women's washroom was clean. However one of the cabinets in the washroom was full of dust on the top. It's kind of strange because the toilet & sink itself were very clean. Overall I think if they did a few improvements I would rate the ambiance of the restaurant better than 3.5. The food & service were otherwise really good here. Next time I'm in the area I will come back & try a different dish.
