Pros: * The quality of the meats (2 cuts of beef, think sliced pork belly, and lamb) are really good. * They have a decent selection of misc proteins like tripe, duck feet, along with carb selection including instant noodle, mung bean noodle, rice cake, and etc. Staples like small variety of fish balls, corn, cruciferous veggies, and tofu/bean curd variations were also available. * Sauce options were * The soup options were great and super tasty. * The place is clean and the decor is cute. * Soda (canned) are free and speciality drinks are reasonably priced. * There's a few ready to eat apps. These were all very tasty! Cons: * The sauce bar is in a very awkward spot. There's a piece of ceiling that jets out at the end of the sauce bar where you can easily hit your head. * When it's busy, the area to grab food can get super crowded. There no great flow to the buffet area. * Lacking green leaf veggie options. Unlike places like Spring Shabu Shabu where veggies dominate, here you get about 3 - 4 types of veggies (spinach, dandelion greens, Napa cabbage). All in all, for $35.88 pp, it's totally worth it! I'd just recommend going early for dinner when it's less busy.

They put the food in uniform portions in small plates. If I were only two or three people, I wouldn't be able to finish the entire plate, or half of the food on each plate would be wasted. In addition, there are relatively few choices of leafy vegetables.

I looovvveee this place! Amazing AYCE hot pot deal in Flushing/Murray Hill area. The toppings are endless, and they aren't stingy with them! Sauce bar has tons of choices, and broths are spicy and flavorful. Service is super quick. I've never seen it super crowded, but it has tons of space. I love that I'm the only non local there!

AYCE hotpot with multilevel dining. There are 2 large tables on the 2nd floor that can fit a party of about 20. Most items are self served on the first floor and everything is portioned out in separate plates which i prefer so you don't have people touching the food much. You order the meat through their app and portions are large. The only issue i have is they don't serve much vegetables. Leafy veggie options are limited to about 3 options. Everyone gets their own pot. Most people in our party ordered the tomato or mushroom base soups. They also have ice cream at the end of the meal. I'm not a fan of the interior but the food itself is decent and service was good!

Good food in reasonable servings for AYCE. I found the sauce bar nicely anointed with the proper confinements and also had some mini appetizers and desert options. Good work. Also the sauce bar has lids that can keep things covered which was a nice touch. Service team is attentive but not overbearing. Pricing was a little high but then it's AYCE and everything has gone up in price. $1.00 Budweisers is a win!!!

As a VIP guest of Liu Yishou Hot Pot. It’s my first time to bother myself. Everything is fine. acceptable. It's just food and trash plates and no one comes to change them. The waiters stood chatting and playing with their mobile phones.

We like the new set up of this all you can eat buffet. It costs $36/person, which includes soft drinks and choice of ice cream. They now also offer beer, wine and sake. In the past you ordered all your items on a "fill-in" paper menu. Now you scan a QR code and order your choice of broth, the meats and drinks online. The other items are selected at the cafeteria style refrigerated service area -you get a tray and pick as many of the items you want. It was already prepped into individual portions and was well organized, fresh and clean. The restaurant is designed to look like an old Chinese village, although the huge modern light fixture seemed a bit out of place. The food was good and the staff were very attentive and friendly.

I don’t recommend going to this place at all. The tip must be 15% up. It’s compulsory. I asked them to refill my water but they didn’t do it at all. They were quick at receiving tip and calculating your money rather then serving you. Don’t come here. 99 flavors taste is a better place.

Absolutely love the Chinese-style hotpot buffet here! The flavors are incredibly authentic and each bite feels like a journey to the heart of China. Not to mention, the prices are so reasonable for the amazing quality and variety of food offered. As a loyal customer, I can't get enough of the scrumptious options available. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that combines fantastic taste with great value, this is the place to be!"

Fantastic hot pot! It was our kids' first hot pot experience and they really enjoyed it. I recommend the fried tofu, beef tripe, loa shen. Ice cream is included with the meal. Be prepared to spend at least $30 per person.
