This is the place I have been most excited about coming to my area in recent years. I'd been…read morecurious about its other locations for a long time, but never actually made it in to check it out. Definitely a great thing to come out of the fire that destroyed the previous buildings at this location. The strip mall is still adding businesses, but usually parking is fairly easy, turning in and out of it from Hwy 99 may have its challenges. I will warn you that although this food is delicious, it is pay by weight so do be aware of this when you go in. You get your own bowl and tongs to go thru the line and choice exactly what you want in your meal. So many noodle, veggie and tofu options, but also a huge area devoted to meat. I will also say to skip the cilantro as that can be added after in the free sauce area (this is such a great bonus on it's own). There any many meal options to choose from. My fav is the Tom Yum, but I have also had the Tomato and keep meaning to try the dry noodles. My partner often thinks he wants the spicy, but this is extra spicy so do order that cautiously. After filling your bowl you go to the counter where they weigh your food and enter in what style you want. Unlike other hot pot places, you do not cook this yourself, they cook it in the back and then call your number when it is ready to be grabbed and brought to your table. This can be a tremendous amount of food and it's messy, so don't wear your best clothes if you are a messy eater like me. They are happy to let you pack up your leftovers, which are delicious later and make me feel better about how much I am spending. We do sometimes worry that we will not be able to get a seat, but so far we have not had to wait to sit down. They do bring you orange slices and you can get soft serve for after your meal. The employees are always friendly.

Got a space easily in their small parking lot. Something about the vibe felt off as soon as walked in. It was very quiet and a couple were eating in but that was all. I don't know how to explain it but it's something I have felt before in other places, just not here. We ordered two grilled pork banh mi (they were out of grilled chicken) to go. The person that took our order was nice and the order didn't take long to get. We took the sandwiches home and ate them and they were okay, not as good as I remember them from before. Sorry, no pics this time. Still a decent buy at $10 each.

I love that the sauce had the right amount of salt and sugar and not overly sweet. My experience with Korean food had always been on the sweeter side so this dish was perfect for someone who doesn't prefer overly sweet food. The amount of meat and octopus were also super generous. We came on a Friday evening around 6:30 and the wait was quick. I saw that most tables had more than 4 people and it makes sense as the sharing portion was huge. Service was also really good.

If you want to eat with dim sum carts, this might be for you. However, this restaurant offers…read moreaverage food with unclear pricing. Service is ok, typical of many dim sum restaurants I've frequented. My friend and I shared har gow, siu mai, shrimp cheung fun, chicken feet, and steamed taro dumplings, all of which are pretty basic and popular. The crystal wrapper-for the har gow, cheung fun, and taro dumpling-was very thick but also flimsy when holding onto the filling. The chicken feet were average, mainly lacking flavor. The taro dumplings were also extremely dense and chalky. The siu mai, on the other hand, was generously packed with succulent pork and shrimp, giving it a nice bounce along with firmness. I would have to say each dish/steamer is quite large, so we were very full. Our meal was ~$43 (including tax). The price is pretty standard for really good dim sum these days. But I was not impressed by the quality of the food.

We had to ask for water three separate times, including going up to the host stand because nobody checked on our table. When the water finally arrived, it had a strong musty taste that was unpleasant enough that none of us wanted to drink it. The service was equally disappointing. The staff seemed annoyed whenever my mother or aunt asked questions, and there were several instances where responses felt abrupt or dismissive. What made it more frustrating was seeing much friendlier interactions with surrounding tables. We never felt welcomed as guests. I understand automatic gratuity for larger parties, but the mandatory 20% gratuity felt difficult to justify given the level of service we received. Had tipping been left to our discretion, I would have left considerably less. The food also fell far below expectations, especially for the price point: * The walnut shrimp still had waste material visible in the tail. * The salt and pepper calamari was overwhelmingly salty, lacked pepper flavor, and came with burnt shallots. * The beef and broccoli was covered in a thick, gelatinous sauce with noticeable clumps of cornstarch. * Our party of six was given only two small bowls of rice to share. To make matters worse, I felt nauseous after the meal despite generally having a strong stomach. Overall, the combination of poor service, underwhelming food quality, and high prices made this a disappointing choice for what should have been a celebratory family meal.

There were only one other group when we came in around lunch time on a Sunday. It looks like it gets crowded in the evening so it was a surprise to find the place so empty, but we didn't mind. The lady who was serving us was very friendly and came back a bunch of times to ask if we need more tea. We were there way longer than how much we spend time at typical BBQ place, but she didn't seem to mind, which was nice. We had the beef combo, cold noodles, and squid and veggie stir fry, and that was way more than we needed. We thought the combo comes with only two bowls of rice but they added another one, seeing that we are party of three. That was nice. Banchan was pretty good and I kind of wish I ate more of it before the meat arrived because I got full from other items quickly. Cold noodles were average. Of the four kinds of beef in the combo, I liked three of them except for one (I believe it was the NY steak) - one item was leaner/dryer than other NY steak I had elsewhere. The combo also came with individual sauces (two types - salt in oil and sweet-ish sauce). The sweet sauce was quite forgettable and so I kept dipping the meat in the salt in oil sauce, but I wish they offered other sauce...maybe like soy sauce based ones or just plain salt. The squid stir fry was spicy and I enjoyed it. The combo also came with tofu soup, which was also pretty good. Overall, there were minor stuff that didn't go with my preference, but I had a nice time at WuJu!

The restaurant was clean and spacious. We packed the remaining soup and some vegetables from the Luan Dun Pork Belly to take home, as it would be perfect with some homemade noodles.
