This was a great place. Busy on a Friday night, but to be expected.

Our waitress was very attentive from the beginning and offered enthusiastic recommendations. Our pork bone broth was delicious and we tried many kinds of meat and add ins, and they were great with sane portions. Didn't really feel like we missed out on anything by not buying the extra charge items and we both filled up quickly. There's little desserts at the sauce bar, and also a few things off the menu. We tried them all and found them neutral overall in flavor; nothing impressive, but still pleasant. The difficult thing about this place is the price. A few $ more than Seapot, but you also have to pay for broth, which can add up to $14 more PER broth, which is why bf and I only got one. So while I'd say this place was very good, Seapot is better value and would be my choice over this place. However, bf and I agreed that this place is definitely a better choice over Hai Di Lao.

They were extremely unorganized and understaffed on a busy day. We asked for rice at the beginning of our meal and it came right when we asked for the check.

Squares Hot Pot was very tasty, and the service made the experience even better! Our server was…read morewonderful--he was incredibly attentive and constantly made sure everything was to our liking. They are serious about the spiciness here! If you love heat, this is your place, though I'll probably stick to the milder broths next time. The broth was well-flavored and the meats were excellent quality. Compared to other hot pots, the vegetable selection is a bit more limited, and they offer a variety of paid drinks like milk tea and canned sodas. Pro Tip: Definitely save room for the Korean Shaved Ice. It's light, delicious, and way bigger than it looks in the photos--one was more than enough for me! We will definitely be back soon.

Including drinks and changing the seafood / freezer items was probably one of their best decision ever. While the interior layout remains mostly unchanged, prior to the change I was a little worried about their business because it seemed kind of slow after other new competition opened in the area but I'm happy to see them make changes for the better and thriving. Meat quality is excellent, service is friendly and now they include a homemade shaved ice dessert which is cool. The only unfortunate thing is that they've bumped up their "basic" menu quite a bit and kinda priced me out of what I would call a quick casual go-to meal. While I am happy they are doing well, it's just not a place that I can frequent anymore especially being that my wife doesn't eat that much anyway. Would have been nice to have a slightly lower tier option available as not everyone cares for Wagyu. Definitely still an authentic hot pot experience though!

The broth for the hot pot had no special flavor to it and was bland. The frozen meat that went into the hot pot was fine. I liked how the veggies went around on a conveyor belt. It was a nice added touch. The meat for the kbbq was so thin and fell apart and crumbled when picked up. The taste and quality of the meat wasn't right and we didn't end up eating more of the meat because it wasn't fresh and seemed questionable. Great ambiance and service.

We ordered the grill and hot pot all you can eat combination. This is my recommendation, especially if you're new to this kind of restaurant. I had the spicy hot pot liquid. I was a little worried about the spice level but Ray assured me that he would tone it down for a less spicy level. I'm thankful for his advice and offer to help me have a great experience. I think my favorite food was chicken dumplings but there are so many different choices. Don't be shy about asking for help to create a dipping sauce. One of mine had a peanut butter base which was delicious. It's an energetic restaurant but you can still hear well enough for conversations. It's really cool to look around the room and watching families interact with each other instead of being buried in our phones.

Bf and I are regulars of the Plano location (edit: Now renamed Hotpot Fairy, not an official…read morelocation??) and happened to be in the area to try this one tonight. While there were some minor differences, overall the quality here was the same and you really can't go wrong with it. $15/lb and I NEVER need more than .75 lb to fill me. You choose absolutely everything that goes in it so everything down to the taste and amount is specific to you (you fill a bowl with raw ingredients and it gets boiled into a broth of your choice for you). All of it is fresh and healthy. The Plano location does have way more soup options (I love the mushroom, but this one only had tomato!) but I'd say this location has more topping options. I'm a spice baby, so get the tomato soup here if you're weak to spice like me. A great concept as always!

Thank you so much you guys for the incredible service. I am a customer for life! Remember, there's a lot of other soup places around here that are decent, one of them is not good.
