Had a good experience here several times w family. We loved the lamb!
I grew up eating spicey food, I am not as hardcore as a Thai person, I found the spicey hotpot a bit spicier than I would've liked but still ok. But if you are unsure it's better to order the ting yang pot or another non-spicy one.
Update:
Still going there every few months, still flapping & still a happy little duck! 😍
Last time I went w my mom & the total was ~$50 for two people. (We went at lunch time n a weekday = special price). This was two months ago in Nov 2025 so, happy to see it's still quite affordable. We don't stuff ourselves (& we're pretty good about it) as we believe that is the best enjoyment… no sense trying to wreck the business's bottom line & our stomach, when $25 per person is REAAALLLY reasonable.
& yes we both love the lamb here. 😍😍😍😍

Considering the high cost of everything for restaurants these days I am glad they can keep a reasonable price. I try not to over order because food waste is awful, & it's hard enough for restaurants these days w the high cost of everything.
A five stars all across from me. First time having hot pot, & it won't be the last! What a fun experience! Food was simply amazing, lots of variety, great loud ambiance!
After two years, I had a great experience at this hot pot restaurant again. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, with lots of vegetables, meats, & side items beautifully organized & kept clean. Everything tasted delicious, & you can really tell they care about quality. The staff were friendly & the overall atmosphere was comfortable. Highly recommended if you love hot pot!
I can tell this one deserves the best hotpot in Montreal! Guys you have to go there & have a try, bet me you would not be disappointed. So many kinds of foods you can eat. & try the newest upgraded meat with only more $5 needed, including better beef & lamb. Last but not least, their dumpling & wonton are really hand made, amazing!
The guy who wearing glass working the morning shift on January 2nd, 2026 displayed an extremely hostile, arrogant, & disrespectful attitude toward customers. The way customers were treated was humiliating & degrading, completely lacking even the most basic level of professionalism or courtesy expected in any restaurant.
What is even more alarming is not just the employee's behavior, but the apparent failure of management to enforce any standard of customer service. Allowing such conduct reflects a serious breakdown in training, supervision, & accountability. This is not a minor issue - it is a fundamental service failure.
I have never experienced such blatant disrespect in a dining establishment. This type of behavior does not merely inconvenience customers; it destroys trust & severely damages the restaurant's reputation. If this is the level of service being tolerated, then customers should seriously question the values & competence of the management team.
Immediate & decisive action is required. At minimum, this employee should be removed from any customer-facing role, & management must be held accountable for allowing this situation to occur. Anything less would demonstrate a complete disregard for customers.
This incident has ensured that I will not return, & I will strongly discourage others from doing so unless meaningful corrective action is taken.
C'est une première expérience dans ce type de restaurant. J'ai bien aimé les bouillons & c'était très spécial d'aller choisir nos aliments dans les frigos à cet effet! Les tables sont très collées par contre & le serveur peu présent pour nos demandes. L'ambiance fait un peu cafétéria mais c'est à essayer au moins une fois!
If you wanna bring someone or a group out for a nice meal you actually have to sit & prepare yourself in a authentic Chinese fondue, here's the place. I recommend to go hungry. You'll be glad you did. That broth..... The one guy that got the hot & spicy got what he asked for.
Nous sommes venu un Samedi soir à 4 & on s'est régalé!
Les bouillons sont excellents & la formule à volonté ainsi que le buffet permettent une grande variété de choix.
Service impeccable & prix agréablement raisonnable pour la quantité & qualité de nourriture.
Je recommande!
