    Beef and lamb
    Godwin T.

    Venue 4/5 Busy spot with a lively atmosphere. It gets a bit noisy inside, but still manageable to have a conversation with your table. Seating is fairly comfortable and the layout works well for groups. Overall, a solid place if you're going in with friends. They have the tables where everyone has their own grill for their own broth or the classic sharing broth setup. Service 4/5 Service was smooth this time around and we didn't feel rushed (there's 2h dining limit), which made the experience much better. Staff were attentive when needed and quick to clear plates. Wasn't too busy on a Wednesday night. Staff can speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin. Not the absolute best hotpot you'll ever have, but definitely a reliable and enjoyable spot that's also open late Food 4/5 Went with the triple broth, which is always a good move if you want variety. The all-you-can-eat setup is solid with a self-serve station that has the appetizers, sauces, and dessert bar. Lots of options to mix and match, and everything comes out quickly.

    Lunch menu

    Came for lunch mon-fri before 4pm special menu for $26.99 including broth. Comes with ayce meat that they slice in the back. The bar comes with sauce, snacks and fruits. It was very quiet when I went on Wednesday afternoon. I think this place is good, but I feel it needs a bit updating and cleaning. The sauce bar area had tongs but I did not know if they were clean or not since it is in a big bucket with water. The seaweed salad had a weird taste to it, their soy sauce is extremely salty, so don't get too much of it. The broth was good, I liked the pork bone more than mushroom broth. They had quite a bit of options and they will serve you the ice cream which was mix of strawberry and taro. It was more icy than creamy. Overall, it was good.

    August 10, 2025 - I tried this wonderful hot pot place with a group of friends and you can never go wrong with hot pot. We went with the Tom yum soup base, which was a little spicy. There were definitely a lot of classic hot pot items such as the lamb and pork platter, but there were some interesting items I've never tried before. The beef tongue had an interesting texture - It's definitely a bit rough. I've never had frog legs before either. It tasted a bit like chicken with a fish like texture. There was also pork blood tofu. Definitely an interesting one as it had a jelly like texture with a slight taste. Not much taste though. All the classic dishes were great as per usual. The pork and lamb cuts, tripe, bamboo, cuttlefish, mushrooms and lettuce, etc. Would definitely come back.

    An all you can Chinese hot pot spot that is super hot in the Markham area! Make sure to come here with reservations or early in the day to put yourself on the waitlist. The wait times here are long if you're just doing a walk in during their prime dinner times. I love this place mainly for their delicious sliced meats, comes with the perfectly amount of marbling and the quality is great. Soup base is always good as well, I get the tomato all the time and ask for extra tomato sauce/ soup base on the side to make it more potent. The have a wide variety of food here to choose form with additional more expensive items available for an additional cost. They have a side sauce bar that you get yourself along with some cooked foods/ appies and fruit that is also self serve. Some of my go to items for hot pot which they serve here are: - marbled beef - lamb - crab meat - red sausage - tripe - raddish - assorted meat balls - cheese balls Check out their all you can drink add on menu as well if you're huge on sweet beverages. Overall, a great spot to check out with friends if you're in for a lot of food!

    Debit and cash only Amazing hotpot AYCE place with multiple locations. Put yourself on waitlist ahead of time it could be hours long. If you waitlist in person they have offerings depending on how long you've waited. Great service, lovely soup bases. On top of regular AYCE you can order premium items on the side. But even the basic menu is great with variety. The meat quality wee great. Lots of sauces to choose from. Appetizer self serve. Sofr serve ice cream for dessert, or melona or vanilla ice cream bar.

    We came here with a group of friends. Parking is a little challenging as some of the spots are designated for Sheraton Hotel. Ambiance - 4/5: it's a pretty big place with lots of tables and seats. The washrooms were clean (when I first got there) with 3 stalls, 1 is a disability washroom. The entrance to the washroom door is blended into to wall decor so look for a small sign on the door that says, "pull". Service - 4/5: we made a reservation so we were seated quickly. Some servers had stronger English skills so we got good service from those. Otherwise, they mainly speak Mandarin there. They would probably benefit from an ordering app. We would have to order through the server. Food - 3.75/5: the hotpot food itself was good. We got a lot of beef items including marbled beef, beef tongue, beef tripe. We also tried lamb (doesn't have a strong lamb flavour but personal preference), pork belly, pork neck (this one was quite fatty). We got different vegetable items as well. We quite enjoyed the shrimp balls. They actually give a big portion compared to other places. However, I found both the broth and soy sauce to be quite salty. We got a japanese sukiyaki soup base and a tomato soup base. The tomato soup base was definitely tomato forward. We tried icecream twist and mango sago. Not impressed with either of them. I find them mediocre at best. Overall - 3.85/5: I would come back with a group of friends. For dessert - either get pure vanilla icecream or vanilla melona bar.

    AYCE hot pot Alway packed during 1:30pm waited for 20 min for seatings. Lucky they have a heater by the door for us to seat and wait, lots of parking at plaza Food service is fast, self serve sauce counter with some Chinese cold dishes which is good to open our appetite Seafood and meat and veggie is fresh Washroom clean and they offer mouth rinse and plastic cup as well for after dinner

    Tom Yum and Mild House Special Broth
    Rachel N.

    First off, the place is clean. Even has pillows in the booths which I found to be different! The service was okay. No one was there to sit us down so I had to flag down a server. They didn't look too busy either. Most tables were empty. Throughout the night, the server didn't really check on us. Occasionally they would come by to clean up or refill the soup but we again, had to flag someone down to do that at times. Lastly, the food. The tom yum was doable but not the best I've had. Tasted a bit too salty. The mild house special was so spicy that I feel like I didn't taste much flavor. The meats weren't special. I couldn't taste the difference between any of the meats. The whole experience felt impersonal.

    This is a very popular spot for AYCE hot pot, so be prepared to wait at least 1-1.5 hr on the weekend/1 hr on weekdays. You can't call in to place a spot as you have to come in person to place your spot in the tablet. Reservations are only allowed to be made ahead of time for larger groups, and I would suggest to double check you have the right location as they have locations in Richmond BC as well. Although the wait times are generally long, this Liuyishou offers a few deals for waiting a certain amount of time. Their menu offers a good selection of meat, seafood, vegetables, snacks and much more. The only thing they don't have much of are desserts unless you pay for the premium options. I got the White Pepper Chicken broth which was quite tasty, and I honestly couldn't help but drink bowls of it For sauces, there is a table in the middle of the restaurant, and as well as fruits and the fried buns/seasame balls too. To order, you'd have to get a server, but it's usually not an issue as they're constantly coming around. Seating is 2 hrs, but you only have 1.5 hrs to order. Food generally came quite quickly, and staff are always around to clean your table. My only complaint would be that we waited over 15 mins for our popsicles, and when we finally got it, we had to pack up and leave as our seating time was over. I didn't like how they kicked us out when we waited so long for them, and we had to take our popsicles with us to eat. IG: Ayeween

    Friendly, helpful, attentive service. Our server, Clark, was very nice. This hot pot restaurant had all of the typical meat options and soup bases. They also have a station to make your own sauce, it also had some spring rolls, buns, and fruit. I liked the ambiance here, the music was great, top 40s songs playing, and nice tables and lighting as well! I'm from NYC and a lot of hot pot places have you order on a tablet, but here you ordered with your server. Everything came out quickly and accurately, we were never missing any of our order which happens often when ordering on a tablet. Only downside is they don't accept American Express cards or Discover, so come with other cards or Canadian cash if you're from the US like me!

    This hot pot restaurant's all-you-can-eat option has quite good quality. The meat they serve is of very high quality, and they've even put in the effort to make a beef birthday cake, so if you want to celebrate a birthday, it's a pretty good choice. 呢間火鍋店all you can eat質素相當唔錯。佢啲肉嘅quality非常好,仲要好有心思整埋個牛肉生日蛋糕,如果想慶祝生日,都係一個唔錯嘅選擇。

    3.75 STARS My friend, toddler and I came here for hotpot as she has told me good things about it at the Scarborough location. Since I live in Markham, we decided to go to the one in Richmondhill, where 100 degrees used to be. We arrived at 7pm, and I left my number and name on their waiting list. There was already a long line of people waiting to be seated, but we thought maybe 1 hr of waiting time should be enough before they called us in. We waited 3 hours. We ate at 10pm. Thank goodness I had food/snacks for my toddler. Service was fast and food was fresh. They do have a sauce station where you can make your own sauce, and they have cold appetizers, fruits and fried foods for you to grab yourself, but the fried foods at the station was lacking and not fresh. The crispy fried pork that you order from the server is a must get. The restaurant itself is a bit small, and they have promotions for how long you wait, you get compensated. Since we waited for 3hrs, we got 12% off our bill. Definitely come early, or be prepared to wait.

    Maybe I'm just not a Chinese hot pot type of gal (despite being a a Japanese/Korean shabu lover), because I didn't enjoy the food as much as I had hoped. I ordered the duck soup base and also got to try the house special soup base (medium spice). They were both overly fragrant and oily for my liking. And the house special soup base had an uncomfortable numbing type of spice (even though I'm a Korean, spice lover). Otherwise, the selection of hot pot fillers were plentiful. Veggies were fresh. I loved the mushrooms and tofu. Homemade noodles were also good. Though I wish there were more varied cuts of beef and pork (there was only 1) over the obscure meat offerings like lamb and frog legs. I wouldn't recommend the frog legs because the seasoning on them changes the taste of the broth. The sauce station was a fun concept, though I would've liked there to be instructions or combination recommendations for creating a tasty sauce (for non-Chinese folks). A lot of the Chinese ingredients/pastes were unfamiliar to me so I had a hard time gauging which ingredients combined would create a tasty dipping sauce. I experimented with 5 different sauce "recipes" before I landed on something that I actually liked lol. Food aside, the wait was long (45min even though we got there at 6pm on a Thursday), but once seated, the service was really quick and efficient. The servers constantly topped up our soups and waters, and brought us the items we ordered. Overall, at $40+ pp for AYCE + the soup bases (before taxes and tip), I found the price to be steep for the food that was offered and my enjoyment of the experience. My husband and cousin seemed to agree with this sentiment.

The interior leans heavily into traditional Chinese decor, giving it a more immersive, themed feel than your typical hotpot place.

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.

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.

    I found this place on Reddit after searching for over an hour for a reasonably priced, all you can…read moreeat hotpot place with a large selection. I've had my fair share of hotpot across North America- mainly shabu (Japanese hotpot), with Kim Tao being my first Chinese hotpot experience- and it did NOT disappoint. For starters, this place is HUGE. They have enough space for small parties, larger parties, and even banquets. Surprisingly no wait despite some surrounding hotpot places having over a 3 hour wait. If you really wanted to be secure and reserve a table, you can do it via Google reservations or call them. The menu was surprisingly extensive- there are so many options to choose from and were appropriately portioned so that way you don't over order. Two meats I would personally avoid would be the ox tongue and beef shank as they were pretty tough and didn't taste the best but everything else was really good. My brother and I tried most items on the menu and our favorite proteins were salmon, shrimp balls, tripe, sliced chicken, and marinated beef. Get the mango sago!! It's the perfect palate cleanser and tastes like fresh mangoes. Phillip, our main server, did an awesome job. He was friendly, super helpful, and quick to turn around my brother and I's back to back orders (lol). All of the other staff who occasionally took care of our table also did a great job keeping us clean and well stocked. Despite being relatively busy, service was lightning fast. I will note though, that if you're the type of person who prefers to be sweet talked or indulge in conversation with your server from time to time, this is not the kind of place for that, lol. Nothing wrong with this at all but I'd describe their hospitality as "Hong Kong style" where it's rather sharp and direct which I actually really like. This place implements auto gratuity of 15% which is totally okay with us.

Each pot was for 3 people and each pot holds two soups. Service 4/5 Food 4/5 (I don't have a lot of experience with hotpot) Ambience 3.75/5 We had a great time eating and catching up. The pros are: AYCE The condiments were delivered to the room and set up on a separate table in our room The appetizers were also delivered and set up on a second separate table in our room Service was efficient and the servers often came around to top up the broths. Cons: The restaurant allows only one person to place all the food orders and refills. Our group problem solved this requirement but it made it a lot of work for one guest. Favourites: Fried sticky rice Fresh made fishballs Steamed stuffed egg plant Tons of veggie options Desserts Karaoke is available in the VIP room. The songs selection in English was limited with fewer new songs. Parking is available right outside restaurant in the plaza. The restaurant is open to 1:00am.

The menu items are "high end" but for the price you don't actually get premium quality. If you like to brag about eating wagyu then yeah sure this might be the place for you but if you want good food, this place isn't it. The novelty wears off quickly and you'll find out it's really low quality wagyu (lots of gristle got stuck in my teeth) and nothing was done to really elevate the ingredients. Variety is not great esp with few appetizers to cleanse the palate or any veggies outside of edamame. Maybe for sukiyaki it would have been better but for $130, that's pretty insane for something so mediocre. Service was attentive but nothing special. Pricing is also insane for kids. Oh the smoked duck was a highlight though. Well seasoned and tender. But everything else felt unseasoned and bland. TDLR: go to daimaru for sukiyaki instead.

You can also add on a few more things to either get the wagyu or more sashimi pieces - that's even better to share and have a taste of everything. The meat and fish quality was great and the sukiyaki broth of course was comforting and tasty. Even with the upgrade add-ons, it could net out to be at $20-30 lunch if you're feeling a little fancy today - even cheaper than dinner for the experience. Overall this place is great and I'm happy I got to try this spot!
