    Really want this place to succeed! Flavor was amazing. Great spot to chill and eat skewers. Loved it here! Great service too

    First reviewer here! Let's get this place cracking! Staff is super friendly and helpful! Staff was super awesome and always asked us if we needed anything. Tom n Jerry was on so that's a plus for me and she even asked if I wanted a different channel but I love the nostalgia so I was cool with it. Very awesome place to come with a group of friends for some drinks and beer food. Came here after I went bowling with a friend and it was in the same plaza. They just opened so wanted to give them a try. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is cooked to order so you know it's guaranteed fresh. Also, I love the seasoning on everything but a warning, if you can't eat spicy, medium still has a pretty crazy kick to it

    I recently tried this newly established restaurant and was really impressed. They specialize in fusion skewers cooked over charcoal, and the flavors are amazing. This isn't your typical instant fast-cooked food. Yes, it takes a little time, but the cooking style, temperature, and charcoal preparation allow rich, unique flavors to truly come through in every bite. They're currently in a soft-opening phase, so menu items are prepared based on what's being ordered and may sell out, which actually adds to the authenticity and freshness of the experience. Everything tasted delicious

    The food is tasty.  I like the favor not so heavy.  I will definitely come again.

    The food is tasty. I like the favor not so heavy. Although not much choice of skewers, the intestine and the chicken skin are my best choice. I definitely will come again.

    Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, you could feel the heart behind this family-owned restaurant. The hospitality is genuinely warm and welcoming you're treated like a regular even on your first visit. This was actually my first time ever trying Chinese skewers, and wow what an introduction. The skewers are made to order, incredibly fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Every skewer comes out sizzling, packed with bold, smoky, savory flavors that are completely addictive. The food was so good that I almost forgot to take a picture, which says everything. It's the kind of place where passion for food and community truly shines through. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend we will definitely be back again!

    Everything was so good!!!! New place, nice experience, food and service all good. I will go back ASAP

    The service was really good and friendly (nice cat too), and the skewers were pretty fire. Price is not bad either. Definitely coming again.

    They recently opened, and this was our first time visiting. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. The beef skewers were cooked to perfection and literally melted in our mouths. It's easily one of my favorite Chinese BBQ spots so far. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't too packed, but I'd definitely recommend visiting asap before the lines start getting long!

I would rather pay the extra $5 to get dim sum, which was also not bad! I liked the siu mai, shrimp har gow (fave), and steam juicy dumplings. My bf liked the steamed chicken feet and garlic tripe as well (the tripe was p spicy). You order the dim sum with your server as the dim sum is made to order, which I preferred bc it comes out steaming hot. The buffet bar also has a variety of items from fried appetizers to veggie side dishes, fried rice, noodles and more!

    Stopped by Arcadia to try 101 Pot All You Can Eat. They have been opened for a while and I believe…read morethere has been a change in ownership. They offer premium and prime options for their AYCE hot pot. Their prime menu was $52.95 and offered 9 different soup bases, 17 meat options, self serve bar filled with veggies, noodles and meat balls, drink stations and ice cream. I got the split pot with sukiyaki and jelly golden chicken broth. The sukiyaki was slightly sweet and full of umami flavor. The jelly golden chicken was flavorful and comforting. You can tell they boil down chicken bones from the chicken fat in the soup. They have 3 meats on the prime menu that were wagyu. All 3 were super tender and required little to no chewing. The abalone were massive and firm yet tender. We got the shrimp paste as well which was flavorful and filled with chunks of shrimp. The veggies were fresh and I enjoyed the variety. My favorites were the crown daisy, spinach, enoki mushrooms and Napa. They even have the sweet potato wide rice noodles that are slimy and chewy. Not a lot of AYCE places have it so it's a rare find. The staff here speaks Mandarin, Cantonese and English so ordering was not an issue. They have a small lot in the back with about a dozen spots which wasn't an issue on the week day.

    I'm honestly not sure how this restaurant has 4 stars on Yelp. My experience was very unpleasant…read more The service here is awful. Our waitress had a weird attitude and was overall rude. There was a leak in the ceiling that kept dripping on me and the table behind me and when I mentioned it to the waitress, she ignored me and didn't even offer to move us to another table even though there were plenty of open tables. After getting dripped on for a while and trying to ignore it, I couldn't do it anymore and we asked for the bill to leave. Only then did the waitress offer for us to move tables but we were over it and just wanted to leave. If things had just been righted from the get go, I would have appreciated it a lot more. The food itself was okay. The meat was good but the self serve veggie bar was out of most things. The restaurant itself is pretty small with a weird layout. The veggie bar is right by the entrance so it's chaotic with people trying to grab their food while groups of people are waiting to be seated.

There's a decent amount of veggie and meat options. I'm very conscientious of getting more bang for your buck so I look for the lightest weighed items. Skipping most of the noodles since those are mostly fillers. Once you've built your bowl you go up to the front to get weighed. They give you a receipt and a keychain for your hotpot. I'm assuming it's like an assembly line of bowls being cooked in the kitchen in the back. They bring you your cooked hot pot bowl. While you wait, you can make your sauces. They have your basic chopped garlic, cilantro, satay and other sauces. I'm okay with a spicy hot pot but I still want to enjoy my food so I keep it on the mild end. Overall it was a nice experience and a decent spot for a random night of hot pot.

I've been here many times before and was a returning customer. I've also brought quite a few friends here in the past, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. They recently changed the menu, but none of the staff explained what was new or different. When we arrived, no one came to greet or seat us, so we were simply left standing there and had to figure things out ourselves. I understand that this is a self-service hot pot restaurant, so we don't expect a lot of service. However, even with minimal service required, the overall experience and attitude from the staff felt very poor this time. What makes this even more disappointing is that I used to enjoy coming to have hotpot here, returned many times, and even brought friends with me. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be coming back again.
