This is a must-visit spot. It's so unique. Everything except 2 ingredients is halal. You can customize your own bowl, lots of ingredients to choose from. You get free ice cream for dessert. Service is amazing. The aesthetic of the restaurant is very cutesy as well.
Nothing bad but nothing great… they had some time to find their legs. Price is a little high for what you get… $40 for two « light » bowls. Staff is very kind & friendly. Wasn't busy on a Monday afternoon maybe 10 clients & even more staff but they were not able to serve us at the same time. Im not exaggerating when I say 7 mins apart « free ».ice cream isn't real ice cream… I'm in the service industry, if you are going to do something like that do it properly & I'd rather the price just reflect that.
Une expérience à faire! J'ai été agréablement surprise. Les ingrédients sont frais & variés. J'ai choisi le bouillon signature medium épicé & ajouté les sauces de mom choix (ils ont un bar à sauce!) & tout. était très bon. On a même le choix d'emporter le reste de notre soupe & laissez moi vous dire que vous aurez un autre repas complet! Je recommande fortement!

Le concept est sympa, bonne ambiance mais personnellement j'ai trouvé qu'il y'a pas vraiment de goût ! J'ai mangé des meilleures soupes autres part. 5/10
The reservation/waitlist button on the website did not work, so we decided to stop by for a weekday lunch. Thankfully, it was not crowded, & we had a great overall experience. Service was attentive, & the food was fresh & flavourful.
There was a wide variety of vegetables, meats, tofu, & noodles to choose from. We tried the signature broth & sukiyaki broth-both were rich in flavour, though the sukiyaki was a bit too sweet for our taste.
The DIY sauce station was a nice touch, & free ice cream at the end was a pleasant surprise. We also appreciated the complimentary lemon-infused water, which meant we did not need to order drinks.
Since pricing is based on weight, a tip would be to select wisely-lighter items like veggies & meat strips helped us keep the total cost lower than expected, even with a generous portion of meat.
L'endroit est super beau & le staff super gentil! J'adore ce genre d'endroit où tu peux personnaliser ton bols toi même. Il y a beaucoup de choix aussi!

I like their simple concept of picking your ingredients then pick a soup base. The ingredients offered are pretty basic, they are stuffs that you'll usually find in a hotpot. Their signature broth is pretty good too. The most Zen spicy option is delicious! Weirdly I loved the lively color of the place but somehow it also felt mismatched against the type of food served. The colorfulness felt more suiting for a fancy dessert place.
I love that you get to fill your bowl with the ingredients you want. There is so much variety in what you can choose. Meats, fish, tofu, noodles, vegetables & so many other things. I had a decent sized bowl & it came to $30. I would say it is on the more expensive side. The place is cute but definitely chaotic. We went right before 6pm on a Tuesday, no wait but by 6:30 there was a lineup. The service was very good.

Fine restaurant, nothing special besides halal meats I guess? There's a couple other restaurants with this style of hotpot (more so malatang apparently) so don't come here thinking it's the style with a huge bowl that you put your ingredients into lol. Went with a large group & were seated fairly quickly on a Friday evening. Hosting staff at the front were nice & helped to explain how the system works but once seated everything was slowed & we all felt our table was ignored (no water refills were offered & staff turned an eye to our table) wouldn't come here again just because there's other spots I prefer for this style of hotpot but the food itself is solid (please PLEASE skip the cheese fish cakes..) & lots of add ins to choose from which is nice :)
My bowl was 23$ but our group ranged from 15-27$ so it's really dependant on what you chose! Would recommend stocking up on the meat cuts (lamb & beef) & mushrooms ^^
Absolutely delicious! You chose your own ingredients & broth, & then make your little sauce on the side. They weigh your ingredients alone first & you pay according to that. Mine was pretty full with 2 types of noodles (the plate in the front) & it came to around 20$ after tax. The staff is also very friendly & welcoming. We went there on a Tuesday evening for a table of 4 & we didn't have to wait, so I recommend going during the weekdays. (You also get a free little ice cream at the end!!) Definitely going back again to try the different broths.
