    Table setting

    There are plenty of parking spots in the plaza if the spaces directly in front of the restaurant are full. My family went for an early dinner around 5 PM, so the restaurant was mostly empty, with only two other occupied tables. However, while we were dining, the place filled up quickly. The restaurant is clean, bright, and well decorated, with plenty of seating options, including private dining rooms and open seating areas. There is a sauce bar and a dessert bar featuring fruit, candies, sweet soups, and more. The sauce bar costs $4 per person, which also includes access to the dessert bar. I'm still not sure how they keep track of who uses the sauce bar and how many people in a group choose to use it, or if they simply charge based on the number of people at the table. The service was very friendly and attentive. It also helped that we arrived before the dinner rush, so the menu was explained thoroughly and the server answered all of our questions. They also give you disposable hot pot bib and gloves. In addition to hot pot, they offer a variety of other dishes, as well as separate drink and dessert menus. At the end of the meal, they give you a complimentary ice cream bar. The flavors available during our visit were ube, mango, and melon. These are packaged ice cream bars rather than scooped ice cream served in a cup. They tasted good, although I wish they offered a chocolate flavor as well. You can choose a single pot, a half-and-half pot, or a triple pot, all for the same price. We chose the half-and-half option with the herbal broth and golden chicken broth. Both were flavorful and delicious. Since it was our first visit, we ordered the seafood combo, mushroom combo, freshly cut short rib, instant noodles, and the Lady M matcha cake for dessert. The broths were excellent, and the ingredients were very fresh, which is one of the most important factors in a good hot pot experience. My family was completely full by the end of the meal, and we all had a great experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back whenever we're in the mood for hot pot!

    First time here and overall a solid hotpot place! You pay one flat amount for the hotpot soup bases (can choose multiple) and then pay per plate for meats, veggies, etc. There is also a small fee for the sauce bar. I ordered the 1 meter beef (which is the beef belly cut), Australian Kobe beef, and avocado mango smoothie with the spicy and mushroom soup bases. The food came out relatively fast and the Australian Kobe beef was quite good, super tender after cooking! But at that price, I felt the portion was a little small. The beef belly was also good, especially for the price, but wasn't really high quality which is what I would expect for a pay per plate hotpot style. Solid but not special. The drink menu is quite extensive and was pretty good, really liked the avocado mango smoothie as it had a slightly yogurt taste but had flavors that really complemented each other! Broth flavors were also solid, but towards the end the spicy broth became very oily and it was hard to sift through all the small chopped peppers and peppercorns that were mixing with the meat. Overall a solid hotpot place in terms of food! The waiters would visit and check in a good amount and were really friendly. They also refilled the hotpot bases with the correct specific soup instead of a generic one, which a lot of other places do not do. Newly opened, the area is really spacious and also up to date! Again a solid hotpot place with quite a large range of options for meat, drinks, etc

    The service is fast and there's a good amount of seating, so it's ok for larger groups. They have an extensive sauce bar that also has desserts and sides (there are two areas and they're different)! For the actual food, nothing was standout and if anything, the tripe didn't feel all that fresh. The cut of beef was too thick so it became tough to eat.

    Very similar to haidilao: there were side dishes along with fruits and desserts and candies for grabs. $4/pp The spicy broth was good and used legit beef tallow 牛油 It took forever to get our meat. But our server was super nice

    Came for dinner and we got three soups to try! It was $13! We got chicken, tomato and the spicy beef tallow. The spicy broth was sooo oily! Even from the picture you could just see the oils. And the chicken one was not very flavorful. The tomato was probably the best one. The food took over an hour to arrive! And by the time it had arrived half the soup was already boiled away. And my drink never arrived at all. The meat was pretty fresh I would say. I wish for the price you get more vegetables though. A small vege platter was $10. My favorite items were the fish and the shrimp paste. The sauce bar is also $4 per person. Not really worth it in my opinion as th appetizer bar was slim. Overalll, the service was friendly though he was very busy and never stopped by till we asked. They definitely need either more servers or people in the back. Because we spent a total of 3.5 hours there and most of it was just waiting for the food.

    (4.5) meat quality and food quality in general is insane.. so GOOD! Since it's not an all you can eat, I wish they had more vegetable platters because with 2 people it's kinda hard to get all the vegetables you want especially when it's by order... but if a large group is there you will have an easier time ordering. Portions here are HUGE! Service is great as well. Def would come back

    Great hot pot spot with big portions so bring family and friends! I got the passion fruit fizz and it was delicious!

    Giant portions so bring family and friends! Ordered the three broth option (tum yum, spicy, chicken collagen)

    Is this new famous hotpot restaurant worth the hype? Yes, I have been to one of their Chicago locations with associates visiting from China before, so I was interested in how the Duluth location compared. Everyone knows that Duluth is where you visit for an authentic and delicious meal. So, there is definitely competition in the area for hot pot. What makes this business special? Elevated broth quality, sweet soups on sauce bar, modern atmosphere, tea menu, and meats sliced fresh to order. Should I visit here? Yes, definitely visit if you are a hotpot conissour, have a party of 4-6 people, don't mind making reservations, and have at least $50+ per person to spend. What I tried: Sauce Bar - Not used to a "sauce bar" costing money, but this one was $3.99/person to make your own sauce. It was missing peppercorn oil, and black vinegar, but the other ingredients were acceptable. Also, the bar includes fruit, and tongsui 糖水, as well as some cold dishes. Broth - My favorite foodie @nails_summeryang recommended their 花胶鸡 = Huā jiāo jī (fish maw chicken soup) broth base to me, so I had to try it. it was rich, like a salted egg yolk flavor. Other broths are Chongqing Spicy Broth, Tomato, Mushroom, Herbal Chicken, Pepper Pork Tripe, Thai Tom Yum, and Hot Sour Golden. My favorite, as always expected, was the Hot Sour Golden. Meat - I had the One Meter Sliced Beef for $12.95. Note that most meats are sliced to order, which you can watch live at the counter. The meats here vary in price, starting with lowest being around $12. The meat serving is much larger than expected, and was very filling. Meatball - For hotpot, my favare always fresh meatballs, not frozen. Which I prefer over dumplings because the filling is what is important, right? So, I tried the Beef & Cilantro, as well as my favorite shrimp paste. Bubble Tofu - This is their special tofu skin wide shape, like a noodle. The tofu skin has bubbles that form on the surface when cooked, hence the name. Vegetables - Standarsld fare of veg to choose from, overpriced so you will see customers ordering more meat than veg. Desserts - The dessert menu is not necessary, as there are so many desserts on the sauce bar, but I couldn't keep myself from ordering the fried sweet rice cakes. Drinks - Large tea and drink menu, but I was already over budget, so just sipped provided water and broth instead. Special Dishes - This section of the menu is honestly where you should order from.

    Food is fantastic! Service is excellent! American Kobe beef is my favorite one, also the seafood, Definitely will come back again next time!

    First time here, and I will definitely be back!! Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance is clean and open. We had the pleasure to be served by Ricky, who explained the meat and veggie options. So we had to order a little bit of everything. Our birthday boy was pleased and is going happy and full!

    ssssoooooo good hot pot! The same as my hometown in China! Everyone should try it' and join the membership, very worthy!

    Great Place for Hotpot with family and friends Delicious food, nice service! Will come back

    cheap for big group because this is not buffet, fast services area was big and modern tried multiple broth, recommended collagen!;)) got free kobe beef;)))

    Best Chinese hot pot in Duluth! I cannot express how much I recommend this place. Especially if you…read morecan catch the lunch deal which is AYCE $24.99. What a steal for all of the food options! They have an amazing sauce bar, fridged items, skewers and sides. I personally liked the skewered meats better than the thinly sliced meats. Everything was clean, fresh and restocked well. Both of the broths we got were flavorful; spicy broth (less spicy) and pork bone broth. The customer service was also amazing. The guy kept checking in on us and keep wanting to ensure we try all the right things and had enough food. I will be back and will be bringing all of my friends and family!

    3.5 Stars (I wish Yelp allowed half stars!)…read more Overall, this place was good. It offers a fun and different dining experience since everything is centered around hot pot and skewers. The biggest pro is the value. Dinner is $34.99 AYCE and lunch is $24.99 AYCE, which I think is very reasonable. Another huge plus is that there is no time limit. We ended up staying for over 4 hours just eating, chatting, and catching up. Not once did the staff try to rush us. They were actually only about 30 minutes from closing, and they still let us relax without making us feel uncomfortable. That level of hospitality was definitely appreciated. For the hot pot, you can choose multiple soup bases. Some premium broths cost extra, and if you want four different broths, there's an additional $12.99 charge. Personally, I think two broths are more than enough. With four sections, there's barely any room left to cook your meats, vegetables, and noodles. We tried the Tom Yum and Tomato broths. They tasted surprisingly similar since they're both tomato-based, but in my opinion, the Tom Yum had more flavor. Their tomatoes tasted like straight up tomato sauce. We also sampled the mushroom broth, which was pretty good, although it does have a noticeable herbal flavor from the Chinese herbs they add. One thing I really liked was the self-serve setup. There's a large sauce bar where you can customize your dipping sauce, along with a cold bar offering appetizers, fruit, and desserts. They also have a freezer stocked with several ice cream flavors and a refrigerator full of complimentary drinks like honey pomelo tea, citrus tea, sweet tea, honey green tea, and pear juice; all included with the AYCE price. The refrigerated food section is well stocked with vegetables, noodles, meats, seafood, dumplings, fish paste, pork paste, shrimp paste, and plenty of skewers. The skewers were tiny because each one usually only had a single small piece of food on it. I guess that's the point....it keeps everything from getting lost in the hot pot! They also provide a rolling cart beside your table for extra space, which is actually really useful because your table fills up quickly. Overall, while nothing completely wowed me, the price, variety, and relaxed atmosphere make it worth visiting. I'd definitely come back when I'm really hungry and just want to chow down with friends for a few hours.

Each experience is just as enjoyable as the first, and the quality remains consistently impressive. The customer service is excellent, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. There is also a wide variety of ingredients available to customize your bowl. Since everything is priced by weight, I recommend selecting only as much as you are prepared to eat. Having tried every option on the menu, my top recommendation is the spicy hot pot beef broth. It is extremely flavorful, though customers should be mindful when choosing their spice level, as even the medium option can be quite spicy. My second favorite is the dry spicy mix, shown in my photo. After experimenting with the different broths, this became my preferred choice. However, it is best suited for those who enjoy a drier style, and the spice level tends to feel more intense compared to the soup-based options. My third choice is the tomato beef broth, which was my least favorite personally. Lastly, the spicy and sour beef broth was acceptable, though it did not particularly appeal to my taste.
