2 word review- Boiled beef. Admittedly Interesting first hot pot experience as a birthday event, food merely ok in general. crazy busy for 3:30pm in the afternoon - cramped seating & difficult getting access to condiment'buffet' area. we ended up not receiving the noodles/demo ordered, the shrimp we thought we ordered via the tablet evidently didnt go though, & when checking with the waiter he didn't see it was missing from the table order & so we ended up waiting a long period pointlessly due to the unresolved oversight. Also never got the' happy birthday' presentation they offered, so more pointless waiting. In the end not impressed overall with what it essentially is: boiled food. The broths were merely acceptable/functional apart from decently tasty Tom Yum. This resto format seems to be designed to maximize cost per person while minimizing ingredients. I'd rather have a good Pho Bo if I wanted blanched beef, & if we'd spent the same amount on standard Chinese food we could have got 5-7 gourmet dishes & had leftovers for a few subsequent meals.

Exceptional service, great late night option.

We love the Tom yum (please don't take it off the menu!)& oat milk broths, & they often have lunch & late night specials like the all you can eat. The all you can eat options change every so often, allowing you to try different options, & they often have special promos & festivities for different holidays so it's worth going back.

You start to know which waiters you like more across your visits, although all of them are more attentive than most restaurants. Oliver is always warm & friendly; if the order isn't right, he'll make sure to make it right even if it means calling the kitchen & going there himself to get your drink.

Learn their secret codes, it's always fun.

Super clean, great amenities they really set a new standard for restaurant service in Montreal.
