The decorations in there are super cute - underwater / boats / sea life themed. They even had cool doors that looked like that of a ship. The place was very clean and well organized. Every table had a roll of paper towels which was much needed after handling the delicious seafood. We split the Luscious Special Boil (I believe) and it was the perfect amount for the 8 of us! They split it into 2 plates to split more easily and it was perfect! Everything had amazing flavor and we left satisfied. We will definitely be back! One note - if you have a larger group, make sure to call in for a reservation to ensure they can accommodate you.

The space was clean and I appreciated the bibs, gloves, bucket and tools they provided customers. The staff was kind and attentive.

Love…read morethat everyone gets their own hot pot so they can choose their broth flavor and manage their own pot. I still lost things in my pot but they still tasted good even after cooking for 30 minutes! There are an impressive number meat, vegetable, seafood, tofu and other items that can be cooked in the hot pot or on the grill. And they are delivered by robot! The marinated meats are great. I also got a lot of vegetables from the salad bar to cook in the hot pot, which are a great complement to the grilled meats. The fruit on the salad bar was surprisingly ripe, even out of season. Creating your own sauce is also fun. I happened to go within 3 days of my birthday, so my meal was free. Amazing birthday deal!

Fun and festive! Plus tasty…read more The concept is simple- you can choose to cook your food in a broth, on a table top grill or both. As a vegan-leaning pescatarian, there were plenty of options- including several tofu styles. It's all you can eat, with a plot twist- if you take food you don't ear you may end up paying extra, which makes sense. There are plenty of sauces, sides and a few desserts all included. so much to eat- bring your appetite. It's a great place for a group -and at least when we were there the birthday girl or boy gets to eat free if there are two other adults with you. Enjoyable and tasty spot for a big meal.

Same with the egg rolls, lots of meat and veggies! Kapoon is for those who like it creamier w/ coconut and it is delicious. My grandmother was surprised how much meat they added. Could use more veggies though, but this is based on personal preference Space is small but fits a big family if you're planning to visit! Service was quick and will be back again

The steam roll peanut sauce was not good, the one from golden harvest is 10/10!! The kra pao was very delicious, got a 3/5 spicy and it wasn't spicy, but it was still very good. S/o ordered pho and it was neutral like any other pho, egg rolls weren't the best, very bland.

Even though I came early in the afternoon and the place wasn't packed yet, the atmosphere was still welcoming, with a "come as you are" kinda feel. The staff? Super friendly and laid-back. You could tell they love what they do, and it makes all the difference. I ordered a large margarita and listen, it was hitting! Strong, fresh, flavorful.. one large is truly all you need. For food, I went with the chimichangas, and they were everything. Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside 10/10, no notes. Definitely planning to come back, maybe during a livelier hour to see it in full swing. But even on a quiet afternoon, this place left a solid impression. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

The service was so quick even though they were busy. The restaurant is so cute and colorful and it's very clean and there's easy parking outside . I had also ordered a beef tip , chimichanga meal, and shrimp quesadilla to go and that was also really good . Additionally, the amount of food that you get is a lot and their prices are very decent. If you're wanting Mexican food and want a local spot that is worth your time and money. This is definitely a place you should check out.

I'm not a huge brunch person, so I liked how there were some Asian fusion flavors and dishes.

The service was very friendly, albeit a bit slow. The pace was easily forgiven because our server definitely played along and had a lovely personality. The drinks were nice, but the food was even better. We enjoyed the brussels sprouts, baguette with honey butter and pesto butter, apple salad, the walleye, the Wagyu steak, the bison pot roast, and the New York strip. In particular, the walleye was delicious, the Budino was decadent, and the Wagyu steak was prepared perfectly.

The olive oil cake for $14 is nothing special. I've had better box cakes. They make their old fashioned with small ice cubes unless YOU REQUEST a large one. Large ice cube should be the go to as that is what makes the drink good. Way overpriced for what you get. Go to Ingredients restaurant in town. Much better food and experience.

Appetizer: - Breaded Mushrooms w/ Wasabi Mayo dipping sauce…read more($8). The Breaded Mushrooms are very large, beer battered that creates a thin crunchy shell. Yet, the Wasabi Mayo sauce doesn't complement very well--and if you leave the mushrooms for more than 15 minutes or so, they become soft as the frying oil settles. They're good. Entree: - Steak Dinner w/ Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Garlic Bread, and choice of a side (I chose Asparagus) for $22. First, the Asparagus was thick, seasoned well, crunchy, and perfect. I could eat a plate of them! They proudly proclaim all steaks are from Creekstone Steaks Black Angus. I've never heard of them, but my medium rare 8 oz. NY Strip was chewy and a lacked some marbling which made it dry. The steak should really use a good salting and coarse ground pepper coat before cooking. The steak was cooked a minute past perfect medium rare, but close enough. Still, I NEVER use Steak Sauce, but I did add some Bulliard's Steak Sauce that was on the table. Not really impressed with the steak's pre-cook seasoning. Steak Sauce: Bulliard's Steak Sauce is similar to A1 Steak Sauce, but more Smokey and less acidic. Service: Prompt, friendly, efficient, and attentive. Great! Ambiance: It's a HUGE place with many booths, tables, and seats at the bar. The Bad: their signage outside on the building is not lit, so at night, you may miss it (it's next door to a Sushi place that does have outdoor signage that is lit. Overall: I would say the experience was middle of the road. Affordable prices, plenty of food, but nothing stellar. I may visit again and try something else--and will ABSOLUTELY order the Asparagus!

We had the pleasure of meeting the 2 brothers that owned the restaurant, Teng Ly who is the chef & Futchy Ly who is the sushi chef. They are really great, hard working & wonderful people! The portions are pretty big so pricing is fair. The entree's are served family style. The flavors of the food were big and on point and you will go home stuffed.

We will definitely be stopping in every time we can, when we are in town.
