Be aware of this hot pot place, especially if you're a traveler or local New Yorker…read more They attempted to charge customers a "convenience fee," which should be a business expense -- not passed onto customers. They also forced a seasoning/sauce fee per person. I've tried many hot pot restaurants across NYC, and this is the only place that charged separately for sauce. Ridiculous experience. Definitely will not be going back again. I really don't like when businesses or restaurants add indirect charges onto customers without being transparent about it. If there's a fee, it should be clearly included upfront -- not added later as a "convenience fee" or forced extra charge per person. It leaves a bad impression and honestly takes away from the entire dining experience.

The make a house sauce at the table, but the self-serve sauce bar has a bunch of the classic sauces, along with some fun snacks (kimchi, seaweed, prawn chips, taro balls, etc.) I really liked the chewy mochi texture of the taro balls. They all serve some complimentary chicken portions. The fish tofu, Napa cabbage, udon noodles, and Wagyu scallion pancake were all great as well. I'm also obsessed with the complimentary soft serve at the end--I don't normally like soft serve, but the milkiness of this one and the cone really hits the spot! I like how everyone gets their own small pot and can choose their individual broth. We walked in for three people at 6:15 on a Saturday (after calling ahead), but it was pretty busy by the time we left.

When we got there, there were only a few other tables seated so it was pretty empty. We got à la carte style, they only have AYCE options after a certain time at night.

However, this means if you don't finish any of the ingredients they pack it up for you. There were certain misses such as the staff not providing any serving utensils (tongs, ladles, etc.), but there is a call button on the iPad, to which they respond quickly. The volume is medium in the space, and their hot pot tables are quite large that we felt really far away from our friends on the opposite side lol. While this meant that we had ample room for the food we ordered, it wasn't the easiest to have a conversation, so keep that in mind. They offer an AYCE option but only after 9pm, from what I understand.
