My partner and I visited for the first time this weekend and were blown away by the amazing staff and delicious food. The waitress asked if it was our first time and when we told her it was, she walked us through the whole process which was much appreciated. She was so lovely, kind and attentive. We had a blast cooking the meats and veggies on the table. It was a really fun date experience. The soup was INCREDIBLE, it’s honestly all I can think of and I can’t wait to go back. The sauce bar was amazing and the free ice cream was a delightful treat. We will be back! And seriously, thank you to the young waitress who helped us. I wish I remembered her name, she mentioned liking video games.. please give her kudos from us! We had the best time and she really helped with that. :) We ordered: chicken, beef, corn on the cob, udon noodles and the Chinese herb soup. Gosh, the smell of the soup was heavenly. :)

Genuinely amazing place with amazing people, food, and it’s quiet enough to have good conversations. Every good review about this place is absolutely correct. 10/10 would recommend for a good hot pot place.

Was in town on business and wanted to go to a hot pot restaurant. This place was hands down the best! The staff was a huge help to folks that haven't experienced hot pot before and were more than happy to explain things like the sauce bar and how the dining experience worked. The food was very very fresh and came out quick! The flavors were amazing as well. Please give them a go, you won't be disappointed!!!

What a great place. The waitress, Sara, was very helpful. We did two broths and it was plenty for 4 of us. You pick what you want for your broth and do it at the table and it was fun and delicious. The chicken and beef were cut nice and thin, so cooked quickly. All the veggies and tofu tasted very fresh and looked fresh. It's about 20 per person. I will go back.

We got a Yin Yang pot with herb soup on one side and hot and spicy kimchi soup on the other. I ordered Angus beef, black rice cake, vegetable mix, tofu skin, and popcorn chicken. We loved everything about our experience here, and I highly recommend the kimchi soup, especially with the tofu skin.

We enjoyed two broth types and a variety of meats and vegetables. The service was excellent and friendly, and the sauce bar was great to make your own blend. We finished the meal with ice cream. Wonderful!
