A Tasty Hot Pot

这家火锅没以前好吃了 锅底辣度够但是味道一般 油没有很多汤底呈褐色 跟在家自己吃火锅没啥区别 菜品也是及格线 猪脑是冷冻的带血丝的但是没有怪味道 猪腰没去腰骚吃不了 至少以前这家店是不会带腰骚的 小料台一般 香油不够 麻酱没太搅匀 Based on my experience and for your information only. This place is not that good as it was before. Went here last Sunday night and it was a slow day where most of the table are not seated. Sauce bar was not full but I could get along with it. We ordered mid spicy pot, the spicy level was ok but somehow missing some flavors, it was just brown soup base with a floating layer of red oil on the top which kinda disappointed me. Pig brian was not in shape, more of like shredded frozen large chunks out of the box. The most unacceptable thing is the pork kidney, the smelly white part was not removed, it was uneatable. Asked and they said this is how it is in there restaurant. I don't wanna compare it to other hotpot places, but it wasn't like this here before. I have been here multiple times before, loved it and was genuinely happy that I don't have to drive to Chinatown for hotpot. However, It's not as good as it was.

Maybe I’m just unlucky? The radish was literally the worst I’ve ever had (pure vinegar) not yet fermented at all, and there was an unpleasant taste to the cucumbers as well. The hot pot, the mushroom base was way too salty, the tomato base was way too sweet. Vegetables were not washed and the radish for the hot pot was awful almost rotten tasting. Beef was fine, usually I’m fine with all meats but the pork tasted a little off as well I think the cut was too close to the pork skin so there was some of that flavor if you know what I’m talking about (it’s not pleasant) Solid place for a business, great environment (very nice staff), but they need to taste their bases and sides to keep quality in check or it’s going to continue an experience inconsistent with their goals. Someone let me know if the SOP gets better. wish you the best a tasty hot pot. Edit: I read a few reviews and want to make sure I distill some feedback so as to make life better for the owner. People are complaining. About waste and “not English food” (we did not have this problem) however something I have seen at other places that might work for you is putting the amount of meat (in ounces or grams) so people understand how much they’re getting, should cut down on waste and increase satisfaction. (This is something you’ll see in haidilao or other hotpot restraints including in Asia and it seems to work well, I imagine this is exactly the reason they do that)

Service really slow and disorganized. Either extreme hotness or 0 flavor at all. Would never go back here. I dont know what they consider a portion of veggies to go with this but 1 bite dint count. GROSS.. SORRY!

Great place and nice food. place can feel a bit compact and crowded but is an overall good experience.

My daughter saw this experience and wanted to try it. So we took an hour drive. When we arrived the host did ask us if we wanted al la Carte or all you can eat. I let him know we had never been to a place like this before. So he quickly gave us a ton of information. He was pleasant and kind at that time, I will say that. We got sat and looked over both menus. And decided to do the AYCE. We were not aware though that you get portions for each member of your party (which doesnt seem like a bad thing, that will come into play later), or that you could order again. So my party of 4 ordered the proteins we each liked, and veggies we each individually liked. Thinking you just make your own little meal. For instance, a member of my party only likes chicken, another only likes beef. Neither are going to eat one or the other of the choices picked by the other person. We didn't fully understand you get those servings for each person on your party. We did understand if one person wants to do AYCE then that's what you get. So we picked things we would like to try, by our own taste. Here is where my MAJOR issue was. We were a bit rushing because of tornado sirens sounding for 20 minutes and bad weather this evening. We would be driving into to it get back home. I asked for the bill and got attitude. I was scolded like a child for wasting cabbage and Bok Choy, loudly with other customers around, and the plate put up in front of my face, saying how now it would be thrown in the trash. I was told the establishment usually charges for that. At that point it made me feel humliated and upset, I told the host to go ahead and charge me for our waste. I was fine with it. He said no, it's our first time but next time he will. I told him again, charge me for the waste. He said he wouldn't because we obviously didn't understand the portion sizes and it wouldn't be fair. My bill was dang near $150 and still I'm ok with paying for our waste. We didn't order out of being wasteful or greedy. Just out of a new experience, out of our own individual tastes and I guess not fully understanding how it worked. We did have a great time trying something new, but that part.....really turned me off amd ruinedthe experience. My daughters friend who came with us looked at me after the host did that and asked I'll ever go back, I promptly told her no. I do know now though, should we ever try an establishment like this again, I will ask many more questions. Looking at the reviews, I noticed another restaurant in the area that seems to let you choose how many servings you get for items.

For the same price as its competitors in the area you get a better menu, better utensils, and a rolling cart to store meat and used plates. Great service great food, shoutouts to Quinton the GOAT he said my hair was nice and offered amazing service across the board
