Came for their AYCE! There is a decent amount of seating in the back…read more There is a good variety of sauce ingredients, though some needed to be refilled. They also had some peanut, and pickled cabbage snacks, and oranges. We opted for the Mushroom and Beef Tallow Spicy Broths. The Mushroom was herbal-y. The Beef Tallow Spicy had a pretty good kick, so we didn't feel like we needed to go spicier. You can also skim off some of the spicy oil if need be. You do get hit in the face with the spice broth steam, so don't get too close to the broth. It's a good thing the chopsticks are long! They do come by to fill the broths. We ordered off the tablet and most dishes came out pretty quick. The portions are on the smaller, which is good for AYCE. Everything cooks pretty quick too! Everything tasted fresh and of good quality. They have a large variety of meats, seafood, mushrooms, vegetables and everything in between! The Dan Dan Noodles were a big portion and on the blander side. I would skip this. The Herbal Jelly was refreshing, though we had to ask for them to bring it out. Overall, a good spot for a small group for AYCE.

Finally came to Mikiya for my birthday dinner. I love shabu, but this is an elevated shabu spot…read morewith wagyu meats. Although we made reservations for a Sunday evening, it wasn't too busy. We were seated upstairs, which felt more private. Since the husband doesn't eat seafood, we opted for the Silver Wagyu Set ($68) to just focus on the wagyu. For the specialty item, we got the Wagyu Bone Marrow and Sweet Shrimp Sashimi. Wow, both of these were delicious although the bone marrow was a bit fatty and more of a show. Nonetheless, it's expensive stuff and I've definitely reorder multiples of this if I got the Diamond Set. The waitress recommended 2 orders of each meat to start, which was perfect. Everything came out so quickly too. I really enjoyed the scallops, shrimp, and abalone in the seafood platter. I found the king crab too difficult to crack and eat though. We also really enjoyed the sides from the minced wagyu rice to takowasa. We ended up ordering another 3 sets of meat before we were too stuffed. I liked the ribeye and brisket most. The meat quality is great and cooked so quickly. I really enjoyed all the variety of dishes we got with this and service was so quick. For the broth, we get to pick two: sukiyaki and golden milk. My favorite is enjoying the soup afterwards to end the meal. Finally, we ended with some ice cream too. Mikiya is definitely a splurge, but their quality and service really does make it worthwhile. I'd be back on special occasions though, which will be a treat.

We were so excited to eat here, none of us really remembered to take pics of the food!!!!…read more Service and food was outstanding! We went for the gold x4. Wagyu literally melt in your mouth. Don't overcook it! From wagyu to sweet shrimp to abalone to bone marrow. Everything was perfect! Our server was super nice in explaining everything to us. Scan the QR code at your table and just order away! Would definitely come back again.

Came here after karaoke next door, and was surprised to find that this place closes at 4am!…read more We had a party of 7 and ordered the coconut chicken. It was hands down one of the best hot pot soup bases ive ever had! There's a huge plate of chicken pieces that they throw into the pot as well as other ingredients to elevate the soup base. It was so flavorful and hearty it was my favorite part of the meal! My friends ordered the other stuff, so idk what we got, but quality tasted good. I liked that they had a sauce bar with a pretty decent variety and also a mini app section to get woodears and chips to snack on while waiting for the food. There's also grapes and oranges available to grab after finishing your meal. Staff were so attentive and friendly. They made sure to fill our broth when it started getting low!

Server recommended either the fish maw or coconut chicken broths. We opted for the coconut chicken broth. They literally just pour bottles of coconut water and then let the chicken cook in it. Makes for a sweeter meal with the coconut. Pretty solid amount of chicken for two. Veges are okay. We also ordered some bean curd and beef to top off. I felt like quantity was generally on the smaller side for what you get. Servers were nice though and always checking-in, replace plates etc. The space is big, but fills up quick. We got seated immediately a little before 6pm on a Saturday, but tons of people waiting by the time we left. I'm not totally sure I get the hype. The chicken with coconut was fine, but nothing remarkable. It was quality though and the sauce they recommend you create at the top of the sauce bar def worked well with the chicken. But I'd still probably opt for more traditional hot pot option if split broths and more red meats.

Be warned - it is very spicy so I recommend ordering a different broth with it. My boyfriend and I also surprisingly loved the tilapia here! The texture was perfect after being cooked in the broth.

We ordered the tomato broth, and while I generally like how the flavor from tomato broth infuses all the ingredients, here it was too strong and left an unpleasant aroma. The frozen tofu ("dong tofu") was a weird variety with tiny pieces that I didn't love, and the broccoli didn't taste fresh at all. The udon noodles were fine. Everything felt a bit cheap, like the plastic cups they use for water. We had to make quite an effort to flag any of the servers down.

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides excellent customer service. They always make you feel appreciated, whether you're dining in or picking up an order. If you're looking for great-tasting Chinese food at a reasonable price with generous portions, I highly recommend Wa Jeal Chinese Food. I'll definitely be coming back!

With high hopes, my friend and I gave Wa Jeal a try. Reviews are good. Prices are a little high (which I guess is no indication of anything other than overhead.) Am I missing something?! G and I were both underwhelmed. Hot and sour soup is average. Actually, not as good as the takeout place across the street. Shrimp fried rice is nothing to write home about. And tofu with chili-sliced pork -- so disappointing. The pork was unsalvageable pieces with gristle and fat which I picked out and discarded. If ambience is important, Wa Jeal fits the bill. It's sort of fancy. But as I see it, you can't eat ambience, and I won't be back.

There's a buffet of fried foods, fruits, side dishes like kimchi, make your own sauce area, and ice cream.

I was def come back again, the place is very big and spacious. I think there's a two hour time limit but we finished within an hour (there was 2 of us) - may take longer if you got a larger group.

Warning, they charge for you to use the sauce/fruit station, so ask about that. They won't tell you until you see the extra charge on your reciept. Spicy can be quite spicy for people who aren't used to spice. I saw some people tell the waiter they ordered little spice and that the broth was too spicy. Best practice then is to order the DUAL broth with atleast one spicy broth just in case.

However, I have to deduct a star as the location is really small and the seating is very cramped. Might be a better place to takeaway from. The dry mix seasoning was pretty solid, although note that it by default doesn't have the mouth numbing mala flavor. If you want that, you have to add sichaun peppercorn oil to your bowl. While I really loved that you could control the numbing level (I like extra mala), I didn't love that meant pouring in a ton more oil. Unlike some other places, rice does cost extra. It also seems like there's no option for beer here although I might have missed it. tldr; solid spot to takeaway from, but I don't think I'd dine in here again. Ask them to go light on the oil so that you can add lots of sichuan peppercorn oil without it getting too greasy.

The atmosphere was casual with soft piano music in the background. The outstanding 5 star staff was super friendly and attentive. My wife felt the prices were a little above average, and no complimentary hot tea. She ordered fried calamari for an appetizer which was very good. She also ordered beef chow fun which she felt tasted better than the fast food variety. My daughter ordered shredded beef and broccoli which she enjoyed. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, cantonese roast duck. It was a bit oily but I still enjoyed it for the most part. Overall, I encourage you to go and enjoy this 4 star restaurant.
