    Tasty hot pot! Love the spicy mala tang. Affordable meal with ice cream afterwards. Beef and pork were fresh and so were the veggies. I love the mochi as well.

    First time at this popular hot pot place and our experienced was very good. Our waiting time is reasonable since we booked at their online waiting list feature. I loved their concept where you pay what you pick and eat from many selections of meat, seafoods and veggies. I chose the Collagen broth and was very happy with it. The soup gets cold faster so you better eating it fast while you can. I wish they served it with a hotplate to prolong the hotness of the soup. They also give you a free ice cream in cone wafer for dessert. I will definitely go back here and this place is highly recommended for people craving hot soup on cold months.

    Never get the dry szechuan, overly salty and overcooked

    Only good thing abt this location is late night eats since there's not much open passed 9pm in Coquitlam. However, not a fan of the male server with the long hair. When I wanted to move to a booth he told me I couldn't and had to sit in the table which I didn't appreciate since the booth was enough for two people and our food hasn't arrived yet. There were two booths and some tables already available. The other male servers were much kinder providing a new water pitcher each time ours went low and was much friendlier. The dry szechuan was gross. Overly salty and everything was overcooked, making the instant noodles inedible.

I usually go to the Burnaby Happy Lamb location for the dinner buffet at double the price, but honestly this one might have converted me to do lunches instead. The food selection is very good and you can get your own selection of veggies off of the trays on the side. The pork, chicken, and garlic beef are also available on the side. You have to order the beef and lamb separately with the wait staff. This is much better than trying to have the kitchen staff guess how much of each item you want and getting it wrong. The sauces are also available. There are alot of choices, including sesame paste, fermented tofu, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, salt, sugar, green onions, and coriander. The interior of the restaurant is not as nice as the Burnaby location and overall feels less luxurious. The bathrooms were kind of sketchy. The female one had three stalls, one with a broken lock, one that was totally out of order, and a third one that was somewhat functional but had no handle to open the door from the outside. There was also no paper towels.

I was recently at the Burnaby location and what I liked about this location, was the self service vegetable station, which also included garlic beef, pork and chicken. We ordered the lunch special (with unlimited beef and lamb slices) for $21.99 plus the price for the mushroom broth. It also included free self serve soft drinks and a popsicle for dessert. Great to have a self service snack area with chicken wings...they were so good and of course one can not get by without the sauce making station. Much of the restaurant is self service so the serving staff just have to take the order, bring out the lamb and beef slices and refill the broth as requested. There was no issue with the service. It was a positive food experience and we both came away very full and satisfied.

    Solid seafood place near Coquitlam Centre…read more Parking is available in the lot in front of the building. The place looks nice and modern. Comfortable cushy chairs, and wooden trim. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Once the place filled up they were swamped. Signature steamed seafood pot - definitely on the pricey side, but they don't skimp out. Special mention for the presentation. Plenty of goodies including an entire lobster, half a large octopus (tenticle/arm half), snails, oysters, scallops, prawns, and fish balls among others. Basically everything without fish. Served in a large tray (the ones seen at banquet buffets), and everything cooked in broth. This was enough to probably feed 4-5 adults (assuming average appetites). So pretty. Deep fried squid with fries - honestly this dish was meh. Basically exactly what it sounds like. Squid is tempura style. Nothing special. I'd skip this one. Bossam (pork belly wraps) - served with tofu and spicy kimchi and some vegetable (kelp?) as well. They don't really give enough wraps compared to the pork slices. Decent portion size. My friends and I gobbled this up. This place also serves makgeolli (Korean rice wine) for a very reasonable price. Goes well with the food. Overall my friends and I left happy. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try some other dishes. Recommended.

    Chinese DIY Hot pot battling it out in an area dominated by Korean restaurants…read more Small plaza parking available - watch out though as some of the spots are limited to 30 minutes / pretty transit friendly as location is a short walk from Lougheed. Place was very clean and color scheme was a lot like "Fish with You" (fish pot restaurant at crystal mall ). Service was very quick - got a table on a weekend afternoon instantly. They do have a minimal order weight of 1LB/19.99 / so this might be the reason why some stated this place is expensive, and it could be if you're a small eater seeking the $10-15 pots. In terms of selection - I don't think they have that large of a selection compared to say Big Way - I felt like there was less of everything. The Fried Egg here was a disaster and don't recommend / it was very dry. Broth selection was mid , tried the #1 spicy broth , apparently most popular among customers - the medium level spicy was alright - you can taste the gentle numbing of the peppercorns, however it still lacked intensity , maybe I should got max heat. They were having a happy hour - so the drink was on the house, no option of type of drink. It tasted pretty good. Did not get the ice cream at the end, believe they had basic Vanilla.

Several people who walked in had to wait at least 30 minutes. The service is quick and efficient, and they are fast and attentive with our requests or clearing our plates. The interior is a bit on the older side and outdated looking, and it can definitely feel muggy inside with all the continuously bubbling hot pots. I ordered the Beef Blade Eye Hot Pot Combo ($19.95) and I think it's a great deal. It comes with a plate of meat, a bunch of vegetables and side items like fish balls, tofu, shrimp, etc., choice of rice, udon or vermicelli, a drink, and a soft serve! I chose to get the udon, a yakult green tea, and the taro soft serve. The ingredients are decently fresh and everything is so efficient. I feel like you can't go wrong for all these things and at this price!

The servers explain how the combos work and they're constantly topping off our broths. Their combos include a soup base, main course, side, assorted veggies, Gokudo sauce, beverage and dessert.

We monitored the waitlist and joined it so that we would be seated around 9PM (that's when HH started). The service was good and our server was very attentive. The taste is really just the broth (I always get the Chinese herbal soup) and it was good and flavourful in the beginning, but of course after cooking some proteins and veggies in it, it does change the flavour. The quality of the meat and veggies were good, and the pricing is definitely worth it during HH because it was 25% off the bill!

The self service sauce and dessert bar adds to the premium experience as well. I wanted to try their advertised Wagyu beef and man was it fantastic! The meat melted in your mouth and wasn't overwhelming which extremely fatty cuts of Wagyu can be. By far the best AYCE hot pot meat item i've ever had, and I've been to many AYCE hot pot restaurants before. Shoutout to the shrimp paste and salmon sashimi as they also tasted fantastic. Ordering food was very simple; you order via a sheet on the paper to start but as the night went on, voicing the order to the very attentive waiter was all that was needed. Service at Dolar shop is always 10/10 and there was no exception during the AYCE service. Would 100% return for this late night AYCE deal as this was the best overall AYCE hot pot meal I've had.

I really enjoyed their sauce bar as they had a variety of different sauces to mix together to make your own custom. They also have servers there that can help you make their signature sauce. I think there was a little confusion with the order, and when we went at their non peak hour, it was a little inattentive, but not terrible. Worth going if you're in the Metrotown area and you want hot pot!
