The first time I went to this place, it was okay. They kinda just thought we’d already know how. Everything works, no explanation nothing. But our server was the best and she explained everything after. I do recommend this place, but I went again today with my little cousins and they were 12 year olds on the menu it clearly says kids that are age of 9-12 are for $15.95. When we were done I asked for the check and she was very quick to go get it so I couldn’t stop her to say that they fit in the kids range. So she comes back with the check and it charged them as adults they do look older so I don’t blame her for assuming that but I then go on to tell her that they are kids and I thought it was $15.95. The server looks at me with the dirtiest look ever and she says “well you should’ve told me earlier, why didn’t you tell me earlier” I get it I am making her do the extra work and I even apologized for that mistake but the fact that there were so many people around us that made me very uncomfortable. The situation could’ve been handled better in my opinion. I love this place and the pricing! But I’d appreciate a better tone that makes me comfortable and safe.

It's an interesting concept. Our waiter was very helpful in explaining how/what to order and how long to cook things. Instead of cooking in oil, you choose your broth (i.e. chicken or pork based). You order protein and some veggies off the menu, and others veggies are available at the self-serve food bar. Also available are lots of spices and sauces to flavor your food. A fun robot delivers your raw food. You place your food in the hot broth and it cooks up fairly quickly. The shrimp and imitation crab were excellent. Pot stickers were very large and tasty. Our friends liked the tofu and chicken. The paper-thin beef and pork were very fatty and, after cooking, there was very little meat to eat. A few starch options are available (i.e. Udon noodles). We thought it was a bit pricey, but it was all-you-can-eat. Afterward, it's fun shopping in the Asian mall, and especially the main level Asian grocery store.
