Really really good quality ingredients. The shrimp and fish paste seemed made in house. Fish balls were with the good filling. Shrimp was fresh. Lamb and beef were tender. Probably one of my favorite hotpot places (better than Hot Pot Garden in my opinion; about equal or better than xiaofeiyang). Lots of veggies provided each serving. My only criticism would be they play really loud dubstep. Haha.

Open late. Great service. Unfortunately you pay for sauce, broth, veggies and everything a la Carte. Which is quite unlike most hot pot joints. This translates to a very expensive hot pot meal in comparison. I love spice/heat, luckily I read a review before I arrived about “putting your pride aside and ordering the mild”. Thank God! Because the mild was hot enough and for most people I would say it’s probably too hot. “Mild” broth pictured.

The meat is really great and the service is excellent, come in at 5:30 to avoid a wait. Expect a meal to last an average of 2 hours. It’s a great place to bring a group. Order, cook, Eat, chat repeat. Great place to socialize with friends. Been here a couple times and really think it is one of the best hot pot places in the area.

Very good quality broth, meat, and veggies. Only thing is you pay for everything; broth and dipping sauce. Also spice beef very very spicy.

The worst hot pot I ever ate my life. First, costed $60 per person. Second meat tastes like a rubber band. Seriously, the lamb!

Great place for hotpot. Lots of variety to try. The special spicy soup base is great, just don’t be cocky about your heat tolerance if you haven’t tried. Swallow your pride and order the mild. It will still build up over the meal. Also, the mushroom non-spicy base is great to cleanse the palate at the end. I normally am not a fan of the non-spicy base as I do not find them very flavorful, but the mushroom base is amazing at the end (even to treat it as soup). The house special fatty beef is great, but don’t miss out on their signature spicy beef. Just save it for the end as the spice will definitely kick things up a notch for the broth. The really only down side I have with the place is the parking–it can be a huge PITA. So get there before rush hour mid week if possible to save yourself headaches.

Decent hotpot location for spicy soup base. Sauce bar could use more variety.

Very spicy hot pot! Fresh quality meat and veggies. Not AYCE but definitely worth the extra price. Good customer service and clean space. Pay in cash get 10% off. Order more than $50 get a free plate of beef.

Overall good experience. We got the house special mild and pork bone broth. The house special mild, in the beginning wasn’t too spicy but after a while it definitely hit. Veggies and meat were all great quality. My favorite was the housemade fish balls. Definitely will come back for more!

Very spicy northern Chinese hotpot. You can choose between four different soup stocks, from non spicy to very spicy. Good flavors overall but the menu choices are a little limited. Still good. The service is very quick and friendly.
