We ordered the Chongqing Spicy Chicken, boiled Fish In Hot Chili Oil, and hot and sour shredded potato and it was rly good. The fish was plentiful w/ cilantro and the l seasoning was excellent as well. The chicken was crispy and oily without too much of the breading and spicy. The shredded potato dish is how it is like made in China, very crisp and the seasoning could've been more spicy/sour but it was very good! The menu items are pretty cheap as well which is always a bonus. the environment is rly pretty as well.

A favorite place to splurge on and experiment with the sauces! We pick out date nights and this place so that we can enjoy the food and have a warm conversation. Usually we don't order a lot of vegetables and go straight to the lamb and crab sticks! Their spicy Mala broth is a favorite. The assortment of sauces are great provided we mix them with scallions and peanut and chilli oil. The experimentation with the sauces make this place a hit with me. The potstickers were okay, but the rest of the food, their freshness, their constant attention to their customers are what keeps us coming each time.

Not full five stars ordered 3 things on menu and do not have. Closest one to me with out going over the border. Food is good, but one other weaker selections for hot pot restaurant . NJ and nyc and Florida has better hot pot restaurants. Multiple times it has happened at this place. Maybe because I like the exotic items and they are tougher to get. Food and staff is nice that is why it got 4 stars, trying the hot pot across the border next time.

My husband and I have been traveling to Buffalo, NY for medical treatment and in our down time we tried out a bunch of local restaurants. This has been by far one of my absolute favorite restaurants I've ever been to. Their hotpot broths are so unbelievably delicious. I love the stylish seating and the big screen TV with music playing while guests eat. The staff are pretty friendly as well. I've been to a few other hot pot restaurants, but none of them do I love as much as this place. Now every time I visit Buffalo I HAVE to stop here! 10/10

Soooooooo disappointed I had seen the photos which I thought were cool and wanted to try it out. The menu was a little confusing and I explained that to the server and that it was my first time there. She did explain the menu a little better so I understood what I was getting. She failed to tell me that I controlled the pot and needed to turn it on. Once receiving my food, luckily another server walking by realized my pot wasn't actually on. The other server also explained the station of sauces they had as I was definitely wondering how this raw food was going to be seasoned. While choosing your food options, you pick a broth for your flavor. I chose seafood which unfortunately seemed like water and imitation crab meat. The food ended up bland. Several of the sauces at the station were empty. The ones I did try I was not a fan of so stuck with soy sauce. This place could be a gem with better communication and some instruction. Nice portion of food with beverage, appetizer and tip only ran me $39. I'd only go back if I had someone with me with some experience.

Very good food. Very nice people. A bit pricey so definitely go during the all you can eat for one price day. A Satisfying meal & really fun to go with with family or friends, probably not with small children.

It's been a while since I last ate here. First time I came here was for hotpot and this time is also for hotpot. We went on a Thursday night around 6:30p and we got seated right away. It was starting to get busy as we got there. They have the option of individual pots or one big one with a split middle for different broths. It is all you can eat! They have a couple of broth options. A good selections of meat, fishball, veggies, noodles, seafood, and some pancakes as a side dish. We tried the scallion pancakes and we thought it wasn't crispy enough. Also ordered the sweet potatoes pancake and it was good. Always a good choice to get the individual pots but you don't have to worry about what others can and cannot eat. Oh, they also have a sauce station for you to make your own dipping sauce! Always a plus :)

Visited a few times. Each time a great meal. Hot pot is fantastic, with hot and mild dipping broth in a divided pot along with a dizzying number of meats, vegetables, and tofu. Regular meals are great too. We've gone recently and had just amazing beef noodles. Service is good and friendly, and prices are reasonable.

I went to this place four times and each and every time we have had the hotpot. I went on a Groupon for the first time and paid $10 for the buffet. Hence my experience was really above expectations. It really hits you if you are paying $25+tax per person which is the actual rate on regular days. However they have a wide range of choices that ranges from sliced lamb, chicken, beef, fish, imitation crabs to vegetables such as bok choy, spinach, different mushrooms. Every time we take the mala spicy broth as our soup base. The trick is to find the right combination of sauces from the sauce counter that you would want to mix with the boiled items. We had peanut sauce with crushed peanuts and sesame on top, chicken satay sauce with sesame oil and crushed peanuts, chive sauce with sesame oil and spring onions, chili sauce with little soy, and hoisin sauce. However this combination is suited to our taste palette and might not be recommended for everyone. For any meat eater, I would recommend going for the buffet. The vegetarian options are comparatively inexpensive.

Omg I can't speak highly enough about this place. Don't waste your money or time getting individual orders. Come hungry and come ready for the buffet because it is an absolute pleasure. Basically unlimited food from 85% of their enormous menu and everything is so delicious. This is a fun thing to do with a S/O or as a double date! I love this place and I look forward to a time where I can go and sit down with my wife here and have a wonderful time again.
I haven't given this place a chance since my initial visit their first month open (when I came because of a Groupon Deal). Boy, am I upset I haven't returned. They have a hush-hush, All You Can Eat Hot Pot, on Tuesdays. We came and got a nice big space in a lively restaurant. The energy was amazing and everything looked delicious on neighboring tables. I was genuinely excited, as my hunger built for both the experience and taste. I usually do hot pot in the Boston Chinatown when I visit my sister, but I liked how up to date, chic and modern this restaurant was- in comparison to the traditional ones I've been too. A lot different than the cold and quiet experience I had initially. Everything was fresh, clean and the staff were fast and friendly. They didn't have some of the drink options listed and the wine came out warm, but those little details did nothing to deter our experience. Can't wait to return with more friends.

I've been wanted to try this place for a long time, and it didn't disappoint. Went on a Saturday and couldn't get AYCE, and the hotpot portion came to about $34, which I shared with my toddler. Had a hotpot combo, an additional broth as well as a vegetable combo. I wasn't sure what to expect from the vegetable combo, and it was mostly greens (bokchoy, watercress, broccoli, Napa cabbage, lettuce, and a few slices of sweet potato). Partner had a stir fry and we shared a few appetizers while our pots boiled. Service was completely fine and what I expect from an Asian restaurant. I really appreciated the buttons behind the table to ask for service. I prefer this dining style because no one is interrupting you while you eat, and they come so quickly with a press of the button. Tea was great, can't wait to return.

The broth was so delicious! I got the split pot with half mushrooms base broth and half "mala" spicy broth. The veggie platter is a good choice to go with if you don't know what veggies to get. The pork belly and beef was delicious and took no time at all to cook, the enoki mushrooms were delicious and so were the rice cakes. Left with very full very happy bellies. Definitely coming back in the winter for a warm pot of soup lol

We ordered a spicy and a tomato broth, and they both were super watery and no flavor but MSG, the service was even worse...We were told by an older lady server to leave the restaurant by 9:20pm. And that was the only time she came to our table: we had to ask for more water, napkins, even asked for more broth( we literally can see the bottom of the pots smh).. the fact that we asked for everything bc she or other servers NEVER came to our table besides telling us the last order was the only order we can put down and have to leave by 9:20... just smh Won't come again for sure.
