    Best hot pot around! High quality and reasonably priced! Portions are really big so great for sharing. 100 times better than the rotary hot pot places. Beautiful space. Awesome also for vegan and vegetarians. .

    Service has improved a lot since my first visit. We had a reservation, but we still have to wait a couple of minutes to get seated.

    There should NEVER be an instance where you have a reservation and aren’t seated for an hour after you’ve checked in. Atrocious
