We went on a Tuesday night & unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing.
The meat was very poor quality, & some of the cuts were simply inedible. The restaurant advertises an'all-you-can-eat' formula, but only 3-4 choices of meat seem to be included, while the other options come at an additional cost. To me, this is not really what you expect when you see'all-you-can-eat.'

The vegetable bar was also very limited, with only a few choices available. As for the ramen, we had to ask three times before getting some, & we waited approximately 30 minutes before it was finally refilled.

The most disappointing part is that we paid $211 for our meal (2 adults & 2 children), including the tip, & despite spending that much, we didn't even leave feeling full. For a restaurant advertising an'all-you-can-eat' experience, we found this extremely disappointing. The value for the price is simply not there.

If you want to have a real hot pot experience, go to Fondue Pékin on the South Shore. 🍲

The only major positive point of our evening was our server. She was very kind, attentive, & always available to help us. She really did her best despite the issues we encountered.

I honestly have to wonder whether some of the positive Google reviews were paid for, because our experience was completely different from what those reviews describe

Unfortunately, this was our first time there & definitely our last.

We are very disappointed with our experience.
