This is where me and my friend Cece go when we are high as HELL. Affordable hot pot! And lots of laughing ;)
App ordering is not very intuitive at first but works well once you figure it out - consolidating table phone orders into a single bill. Wait staff is great & works hard to keep you happy. Atmosphere is loud & fun and we could still talk to one another with ease. Vegetarian options: There are many greens, mushroom, noodle, root vegetable, squash, tofu & other options good for adding vegan options to their vegan hotpot broth.
This was the location in china town. I have been to the location in brooklyn, and they have more options. The location in china Town was out of certain vegetables. They did not have plastic utensils for my 2 year old and seamed more of a trendy place for the young crowd to attend. Im more used to the family setting and vibe that the brooklyn location offers. Brooklyn location has more options for food anyway. I will attend, but just not the chinatown location. Parking: Its Manhattan so tougher to find parking than other boroughs.
SCAMMMERS - really shady business practice be careful with the tip everyone. looked on MY receipt and tipped 18 percent on my 32 dollar bill which was 11 dollars. really? thats 30 percent.
For reasonably priced hotpot, this is the spot. Coming on your birthday (3 days before or 3 days after) you eat for free. Make sure you bring a valid ID. Bbq not as worth it, might as well go to an all you can eat bbq for more value. Staff is friendly and bathrooms are clean. Reservation is recommended to ensure you get seated timely. Individual hot pots are available at some tables which is also nice so no need to share.
We always go to 99 Favor Taste for birthdays and almost always when craving hotpot. Always great, never regret it. Just hope they can clean the toilet more often!
