i love hot pot and i really enjoys everything I had. My table got individual pots and shared the veggies and meat. The staff was patient with our questions. We all got the traditional mala broth and fatty brisket, broccoli, bokchoy, mushrooms, fried tofu, chicken, mala beef, veggie dumplings, potato, and it was all great.
