Spicy Dry Pot
Jenny W.

It was a busy Friday night for my most recent visit. Not sure if it's normal but I've been during the weekday and it was pretty dead there. The service was fast and they refilled our water even when the bottle wasn't empty. I was disappointed that they didn't have of a few of my go to items but other than that, it's pretty much the same as the other Big Ways that I've been to. They currently have the Thai soft serve now. It was ok but tasted watered down.

Spicy tomato dry mix with excellent

I've been to this west end location many times. It feels more relaxing and peaceful compared to some of the other locations. Food comes out fast, and it's always fresh and tasty. Staff is so friendly, too. I order on uber sometimes and I love the spicy tomato dry mix! Perfect balance of heat and spice.

After weighing the ingredients my total came to $15.67 !

I heard about the Big Way hype and checked it out with 2 friends! After weighing out the ingredients the cost was $15.67. not bad! Some of the stuff I chose included Bok Choy, napa cabbage, mushrooms, thinly sliced beef, and vermicelli noodles. The miso broth was delicious but just a little bit on the salty side. If I come back next time I would like to add a bit of hot water to the pot to adjust it. Overall, not bad! It was nice how they give you a free matcha ice cream cone at the end, which was a nice surprise.

Really fun to do DIY hotpot. I love that there are so many variety of vegetables, mushrooms and seafood to choose from. The Ma La soup base is great! Their sauce bar is help yourself. I love mixing vinegar, oyster sauce, chilli oil, sesame, oil, Cilantros together. Perfect for Ma La pot.

Wow.... Never have known of a hot pot place like this besides in Taipei. Remember when those…read morefill-your-own-bowl-pay-by-weight yogurt places popped up? This is basically the hot pot version of that. Its VERY EASY to grab too many fixings and end up paying for it! It's not a bad thing, just be careful! The walls are stocked with gorgeous, fresh soup ingredients from wall to wall. The restaurant is brightly lit and really invites you to stuff your bowl with all these fresh ingredients. This was the perfect place post-Ironman triathlon for my bf to really fill up! He ended up grabbing so many ingredients that the server had to bring his soup to him in TWO BOWLS. I too was overzealous and was only able to finish half of my hot pot. The endless amount of veggies, mushrooms and plant-forward protiens available made it all too easy to pick too many ingredients. Everything cooked up fresh and delicious and the soup was savory and comforting. We absolutely enjoyed our visit and hope to come back again in the future!

I am a big fan of Big Way (pardon the pun!) as they have a wide range of ingredients but I find it…read moreto be inconsistent at times. I always opt for the tomato broth but found it can be very salty one visit and very bland the next. Service is decent, but I do feel rushed sometimes when servers ask if they can take my bowl when I'm still eating. I do love the free tea during happy hour and ice cream at the end.

The restaurant is pretty big and they have some big tables but all the tables had only one pot hot pot which makes it hard for people to eat. I wish they had multiple pots for bigger tables so that it was inconvenient. Other than that, their service was pretty good and they also had a really good AYCE deal for $39/pp! We got their two flavour soup base - spicy beef and tomato soup base. Their meats and veggies were all fresh! They had a massive self-serve bar with sauces, tofu, fried chicken (which was delicious), noodles, bean curd, and other items. It was a good selection! You also get dessert in the AYCE menu with two options - vanilla ice cream and coffee pudding. I got their coffee pudding which was not bad, but it tasted AMAZING when mixed with the vanilla ice cream so I would definitely recommend that.

This was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever had. Not only is the food overpriced, but…read morethe service is aggressively hostile. ​The highlight of the night was a staff member slamming meat onto our table and condescendingly saying, "Wanna bet you ordered this?" I calmly told her with a smile that we didn't, as we are all allergic to chicken. Instead of an apology, she stomped away and slammed the receipt in my face. After reviewing it and realizing she was wrong, she simply blamed her coworker and didn't offer a single word of apology for her behavior. ​Beyond the attitude, the food quality is a bait-and-switch. The first batch of meat was okay, but every round after that was inedible, greasy fat. They take forever to serve you because they are too busy fighting with customers. Save your money and your sanity--stay away from this place.

But in other parts of the world the meal is what's important and so is a quick turn around. Guu with Garlic reminded me a lot of the Izakaya restaurants I found under the train lines of Tokyo in many ways, including the amount of time it felt right to stay. The food came out quick, the servers took orders quicker, and the alcohol came out chilled and as nice contrast to the hot food. Looking around and you see the hand written menu on blackboard surfaces on the walls and this feeling of authenticity. The heat of the flames from the kitchen can be felt and seen if you sit at the bar. And the flavors just hit all the right notes. Starting with appetizers, a section izakayas shine at, the first dish we got was their scallop and mayo pizza. With a crispy crunch on the bottom and crust, this reminds you of the flavors of a baked volcano roll or scallop roll you can find in almost any North American sushi restaurant. Just like that dish, it's important to eat it while it's still hot so it doesn't get gross and 느끼 에. Then came the yellowtail tuna "tempura" pieces. Thick pieces of yellowtail tuna flash fried for just the right crisp on the outside with slight pink of the fish inside. It is meaty without being oily or fatty. Great bite. The beef tongue after was interesting. From the color of the sauce it accompanies it you would think it would be heavy in flavor but it is actually light and citrusy. A good cut into the richer tones of the beef tongue. The yaki udon was one of the best I ever had. It was smokey without being overpowering. The beef was thin and tender and balanced well with the mushrooms it also came with. The udon noodles stayed bouncy and chewy which I didn't expect from being grilled. Very tasty and highly recommend this dish. For our final bite we shared a hot stone bowl of their pork and cabbage rice. With the hot stone bowl constantly cooking even after this dish arrived it was imperative to stir the ingredients together constantly for the first two minutes. It allowed for the runny egg to meld with the rice and the crispy texture of some ingredients was a nice bonus. All in all, I loved eating here and if my appetite was bigger I would've tried more on their menu. A solid place to eat with a great atmosphere, if you're looking for delicious food that won't take too much of your time but still lingers in your memories you have to check out Guu with Garlic.

A most stunning tasting experience, I had here at Phnom Penh in Chinatown…read more PP has been on my radar for some time & I finally made it here. PP has been going strong since 1985 - not an easy achievement in the restaurant industry. PP has that older type restaurant feel inside, but it is very lively as waiters fly by with orders to deliver to tables. Yelpies, order these three items & the say less while you wait for them. Butter Beef (Thinly sliced rare beef) Garlic Wings (heavy on the garlic - FYI) Filet Beef Luc Lac (Tender stir-fried beef) I had a Vietnamese coffee, but it was lame. I've had better elsewhere. The taste of these dishes is orgasmic. I didn't notice nor feel a high sodium content but perhaps maybe a hint of MSG. Regardless, there's a reason why PP has won several awards year after year, including the prestigious - Michelin. Get here ASAP & find out why PP continues to impress foody lovers from everywhere. Warning, this whole area is certified - pure ghetto. Bring your car down here at your own inconvenience. Take transit or uber to get here. Zombies are everywhere. A weird side note - it appears GoDaddy hijacked PPs website. Use IG or Open Table reservations for reference & menu options.

Always seeing people line up at the door shows that this restaurant truly has something special …read more When we finally got our table, the food exceeded our expectations. The chicken wings should be called crack wings HIGHLY addictive. The deep-fried squid is prepared the same way as the chicken wings, and the calamari was amazingly tender. The Butter beef was simply fantastic, with flavors that balanced sweetness and saltiness perfectly, topped with delicious accompaniments. I wish the pea shoots had a bit more flavor, but they were cooked just right tender with a satisfying crunch, not overdone. Overall I give this experience 5/5!!
