Small and cozy restaurant, with good vibes for a date night out! Shoutout to our amazing waitress. She was so sweet and welcoming. I wish we got her name!! I had no expectations walking in and didn't have any expectations. I was surprised that the portions were actually decent. My boyfriend's favourite was the jumbo prawns-- he liked the texture and flavour! It was the opposite for me.. I thought the outside made it hard to eat and it was a little too salty for me. Their salmon don and chicken karaage was superb though. Flavours were on point for both and I just really enjoyed them overall. We both agreed that the beef tartare was nothing special. Didn't really taste the freshness of the beef. This was a pleasant experience overall!

If…read moreyou go to pickup, their phone number is in the commissionary kitchen's door and when you call up, they will give you the code to get in and pickup your food from the table just inside. You literally see no one. So far, my favorite is their Chirashi Bowl ($23.98) with their fresh sashimi and decent size portions. You can also Choose-Your-Favorite Combo ($19.99) that gives you a choice of Bowl (not the Chirashi though) and choice of 8pc Roll. I like their Unagi Crab Roll, its like a California Roll with Unagi on top. Their entrees that comes with the combos have tasted very bland to me though. I've tried the Scallop Risotto which did not have a rich/fragrant flavor I like in my risottos so I found this super bland. And recently I tried their Beef Rib Bowl which looked more like a Beef Tongue Bowl (there was no bone and it was super tender) and again, was on the underseasoned side. But it WAS super filling so their portion sizes again are good.

The service was exceptional, and every bite and sip felt like a little piece of heaven. After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

Walked in and was greeted by a nice hostess who helped get my family seated. She then asked if it was our first time which we said yes. She proceeded to explain the different soups and foods along with the ordering process which she did an amazing job. There were many soup base to choose from along with your choice of unlimited protein. You could order as many as you want if you can finish it other wise there would be a fine for wasting food. We ordered just enough as we ate since we weren't trying to stuff ourself but eating a super late dinner. They had a good variety of food that all looked fresh and in an appealing layout. Meat came soon after every reorder and they topped off our soup often. Only thing I would improve is the fruit and dessert bar. Real estate is smaller so not much room for a bigger selection than the other AYCE hot place I've been too. Overall I would come back next time and definitely worth a visit for hot pot lovers.

We paid our bills and was finishing up our ice cream when the server came up and asked multiple times if we have paid. We informed him that we did and he hovered over our table insinuating that we were trying to skip our on our bills. It was very bizarre as he was the one who took our payment and we assumed he can see that the meals have been paid on his tablet. It was a very unconfortable experience and ruined our evening.
