This AYCE hotpot and BBQ spot in Midtown is a great casual spot for dinner with friends. For their…read moredinner menu, you can do AYCE hotpot and bbq for ~$43pp, which also includes appetizers and some drinks. For alcoholic drinks, such as soju and beer, you can add ~$7pp for AYCD. The tables are spacious and the place is bright. We ordered a variety of meats and veggies for hotpot and bbq and it was alright. The hot pot is definitely better than the bbq as the meat quality was too fatty for bbq. Moreover, because they don't change the grills, the oils from the meat just pool onto the grill and the meats get really oily to eat after a while. We also got the fried chicken, spring rolls, and fried buns apps and I thought that the chicken and buns were good but the spring rolls were okay. The only thing I would have to say is that the service isn't the best. Although they are kind, half of the things we ordered never arrived or we had to constantly ask them to bring it out/check on our order.

I loved this place!…read more I came here on a late Friday night, probably around 8pm and was glad that they were still opened. We were greeted very welcomely and was seated right away. It was unusually cold in NY during this time (5/23/25) and initially we were seated by the door where we would catch the cold draft every time the door opened. We asked if we can switch seats and the waiter was more than helpful. I feel bad for not getting his name, because he was very helpful throughout the entire dinner service, but, I've been walking around in the cold all day and the only thing that was on my mind at that time, was a nice warm meal. I've done a lot of Chinese hotpots and this was the first that we get the soup and grill without a price difference. The selections were typical, some may say less than other places, but, I felt that less was better. When there is too much to chose from, you don't know what to pick or pick too much. The one thing that I did missed was fresh tofu. They had a variety of tofu but not fresh tofu. But, I probably shouldn't waste my stomach space on tofu for and AYCE, anyway, lol! We opt for an non-spicy and a spicy soup base. If you are like me and do not like mala (numbing spice), I would not recommend getting a spicy soup base. Even my cousin, that does like mala, said it was a little overbearing after a while. If you do love spicy, like me, they have a condiment station to make your own sauce and have several chili options to chose from that is not numbing spice. For the price and selections, I feel that it was very satisfying. I really enjoyed their homemade peach and kumquat lemon tea; but, order fast because once it's gone, you are out of luck! The place was clean and the noise level was average. I think this is the best Chinese hotpot place that I have experienced in USA and would definitely go back!

I decided to give the LIC location a try while I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised to see the menu was AYCE. Currently, their menu is AYCE for $36.99 (Monday through Thursday from 4:30pm - 10:30pm) which includes the broth, many hot pot items, and soft drinks. The broth here is excellent and one of my favorite broths out of all hot pot restaurants; I had the spicy beef tallow and tomato. I would also recommend getting their handmade shrimp paste. Food items were generally good, but some items weren't the freshest such as the scallops (very fishy and not edible). Service: Service was phenomenal. Staff members were very attentive and friendly. My empty dishes were constantly being cleared, and they came to refill my broth many times throughout the meal. They are also always circling to see if you need anything. Ambiance: There wasn't anything special about the ambiance. Seating was comfortable and spacious. Cushions on the seats were very worn out and peeling. Overall, I would recommend this hot pot restaurant!

I tried the noodles and the dumplings and honestly both were very doughy for my taste. The dumpling wrappers were thick and so chewy - not in a good way. Service is really good and friendly.
