Friends Station

I came here on 2/19 for a friend's birthday and the service was horrible!!! There were only two people working and I kinda felt bad but a lot of the issues just came down to time management.People were served before me,even though I ordered and arrived them.I ordered a drink and waited over an hour and never received it.After a hour and 30 minutes later she told me that she can not make drinks because they are short staffed.Which would have been ok if the would have told me that a hour and 30 minutes ago.I had to ask more than once for food and water.It also took her more than 45 minutes to bring hot tea.At 9:22pm I saw them bring another table drinks,the same drinks that she told me that they were not able to make.They also had a lot of posters that showed passed promotions.I asked for the xox daiquiri and she told me that they don't have it any more but you have it posted and displayed every where.I will not be back.

I chose this for my solo Valentine's Day spot that would prevent me from being surrounded by lovey dovey couples. It was the perfect choice. All of the staff were super friendly, attentive, and helpful. The concept of a hot pot place where the add-ins like veggies and noodles are on a rotary was so smart. I truly dislike being forced to eat things I don't want just because it comes on a big platter with what I do want. Also, the convenience of getting it yourself when you're ready for it makes the experience even better. I loved that they had an area where I could get toppings like kimchi and garlic, along with my choosing of sauces, myself. Just delightful. There's just a few things that could be different. One, when cooking beef, the broth can get scummy on top. Adding more broth doesn't help. I haven't experienced this at any other hot pot place or even when my friend does hot pot. Another would be how close the high top cooking stations are to one another. With everything I had, I was taking up the spots on either side of me as well. I don't know how that would work if it were busy. A guy sat two stations away from me and felt uncomfortably close. Lastly, my 2nd round of Wagyu beef had so much grizzle on it that most of it was inedible. I've NEVER experienced this with what is being claimed to be Wagyu beef at any type of restaurant before. It's a bit suspicious. Overall, though, I had a fun time on my solo Vday dinner. I've already told a few people I want to go back there with them. I'm looking forward to returning often.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly

This place is so much fun and so delicious. I’ve been here 3 separate times and every time everyone I’ve been with also had a really great time.

Awesome space!

Rude restaurant, forced to include 18% tips into receipt. When bank statement comes out, other than the 18% tips, they even charge more( duplicate tip!). Never come here!

Tasty. Boiling. Fun. Best and first hot spot experience.
