Soup base and fresh ingredients always made our visits pleasant. We came back for their 20th anniversary deal. The line was super long but that's not surprising since many others probably came for the deal too. We wish the waiting line queue was a bit more accurate though, as we kept getting updates for longer waiting times. But after four recalculations, we finally made it in. Food quality overall was decent. There was a bar to grab as many veggies, noodles, and a few choices of seafood and fishball items and you can grab as much as you want. Meats and fish roe fishballs were requested with the waiter. There is also a hot foods and with chicken wings, fries, chow-mein, and sesame balls. There is a sauce bar, but the broth was so well flavored that we didn't really need the sauces. Drinks can be added for $1.00 more for each person. Seating was spacious and waiters were friendly and efficient. Would we come by very often? Probably not since it can be pricey. But would we come by once in a while, or for special occasions? Yes! Great place with fresh ingredients and choices, and a fun place to hangout with others!

We absolutely loved the beautiful painting on the wall, and everything was so clean and neat. The food was fresh and delicious! We especially loved all the side options. We ordered the shrimp and Korean fried chicken, and both were so good. I highly recommend this hot pot spot! We had such a wonderful experience and can't wait to come back!

Second visit, came on a Friday at 3 pm. Missed the lunch crowd and before the dinner crowd…read more This time I went with a non spicy Sukiyaki soup based. This was on a sweet side which I've never had in the past. To be honest, it was good but had to use the condiments to spice it up. Can't recall the meats I ordered but did it all on my phone. Definitely there was more than enough meats and sides that we couldn't finish. Overall, good place to have a healthy soup based meal with lots of vegetables to choose from.

It was the worst experience I've had at this restaurant. Don't go unless you have at least 1.5 hours before their closing time. They make a lot of noise and start cleaning in ways that make you feel like they're trying to get you to leave.

Hearsay dry mala pot not spicy. Got medium spicy classic herbal beef bone broth @15.99/lb. Just a bit of Szechwan spiciness, not too hot. Weight: 1.09 lb. At register. Broth et al ready in 10 minutes. Always had constant refills of water. The spiciness may have disappointing but not the broth. 8 hours of boiling bones had an impact on the soup.

The inside is packed with tables but more geared towards smaller parties. For bigger parties they may need to move the tables together. The inside is very cutely decorated, and you get a large assortment of ingredients for your soup. Pricing is pretty standard its about $15.99/lb. I enjoyed the hotpot, came out super fast (~10 minutes) and they gave large bowls for sharing between my partner and I. I think the soup broth flavor was not as savory as I had hoped but still sweet and good. While everything was very good, this place is in a very competitive area of food spots. I did enjoy the food but I wouldn't say it's the best of the best soup broth. They have about 5-6 different flavorings/cooking styles but i think some places tend to have more. I enjoyed the food and I think I would come back to try other things. I think they do have a large ingredient selection making for a unique hotpot experience.

My wife and I went on a Wednesday night a little before 6pm because we were in the area and craving hot pot. There are various AYCE packages with premium meats, we ordered the basic because we felt that would meet our needs. The meat seemed fresh, and the service friendly and responsive. They also had an area to get sauces and various cooked food (fried rice, honey walnut prawns, chow mein, Sichuan cold noodles) and other items. One thing they made this place unique is you could order Peking duck wraps, which they would cut and wrap to order. They gave us two each time and we ordered it 3 times along with other hot pot items. While not pushing ourselves to overeat too much, we felt satisfied and that we ate our moneys' worth. We'd go again.

The ayce here is super worth it they give you so much food and I definitely recommend getting the unlimited duck wraps with the sauce on the side! The angus beef marbling was actually a lot better than I was expecting for a an ayce place. The beef tendon and tripe was super soft and yummy. The beef and lamb skewers are also really tender and not dry at all. The side bar was also pretty good. Overall a great experience 11/10, would definitely come back multiple times if it wasn't so far from me.

It was early dinner time on a Friday evening and it wasn't overly crowded. All 6 of us got different items and overall it's a matter of preference for what kind of broth and protein you'd like that depicts the meal, the toppings are generally all the same. Consider this place to almost be a "make your own ramen" type of thing, in that you're given a platter of toppings to add to your bowl of steaming hot broth, mix it and let it sit, then voila! It's ready to eat. For a rainy winter evening, it was perfect to have some tasty noodle soup!

Loved this place and was so excited to try it out! I really love the environment inside as well…read moreit's super laid back but also looks pretty well kept for a nice outing with loved ones. The service was really good, they are super on top of cleaning and serving so my food came out in about 15-20 minutes. I got the combo with an appetizer, drink, and noodle soup. The portions were pretty generous. -grapefruit tea: thought it was pretty yummy! I also tried out the super fruit tea and i really liked it but personally found it to be a little too sweet. Not too much to displease though! I mixed some water and it was perfect for me. -tomato beef brisket noodle soup: i was surprised by how tender the meat was and how much they actually give you. If you love tomato soups as much as i do then it's definitely a great option! -takoyaki & lamb skewers: my sister had one dish from her combo order and i has my own but was able to try both! The lamb skewers were a bit smaller than expected but were flavorful with a fragrant aroma. The takoyaki came in about 5 balls and while they didn't include all typical takoyaki toppings it was still pretty good considering it came as a combo! Overall, i really loved coming by this place, my main concern is that it's actually in a pretty busy plaza so parking can be a little difficult during peak business hours. Otherwise it's located in a really great area relatively close to some shopping areas such as the Livermore outlets or even other smaller shopping plazas. Give this place a try if you're in the area and looking for a good eat without breaking the wallet!

Very authentic 很好吃 装修很复古很有正宗火锅的vibe下次还会来 推荐给朋友了…read more Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, and everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The restaurant has a beautiful vintage-style interior that really gives you the feeling of eating at an authentic traditional hot pot restaurant instead of a modern chain. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and full of character, which made the whole experience even better. The service was friendly, and the overall dining experience exceeded my expectations. I can definitely see myself coming back the next time I'm craving hot pot. I've already recommended this place to my friends, and I'll continue recommending it to anyone looking for authentic hot pot. Highly recommend!
