    Came here for dinner and definitely enjoyed the hotpot especially the all you can eat lobster and crab. Like omg!!!! They also have other seafood that's great like the fish fall with cheese inside. Definitely coming back

    Good variety of the food. Clean environment. Good service. All you can eat hot pot. Worth the money spent.

    Service is good. Rating is 3,9 You have a choice of the soup and the variety of food.

    Came here for late night hotpot. Got in a bit before 11, left at 2. We were hoping to find some night owl deals, but that didn't happen. This place was charging 30 per person plus $20 for shared soup. Paid about $45 after tax and 10% tip. This place does a lot of skewers. One ingredient per skewer, so one mushroom, one shrimp, one dumpling, etc. There was also crab legs and lobsters available, which means ayce crab and lobster. Surprising, but probably low quality as the meat was quite rubbery. Either that or I don't know how long to cook them. There's only one platter of fresh beef sllces, but an entire section of seasoned meat. Personally I prefer plain old meat, as it tastes a lot better and I can somewhat tell that it isn't days old meat with its colour glossed over with marinade, so this was a bit unfortunate. For prepared food, they had a box of takoyaki. Pretty nice. They also had unlimited cherries and watermelon. Given the price of cherries, I think it's pretty good value. One thing that was pretty annoying was the water dripping from the pipes overhead. Every minute or so, there's water drops hitting the seats or table. The staff said it was just condensation and all the tables along the pipes were the same. The cleanliness of the pipes is questionable. Liu Yi Shou in the other plaza offered $40 late night ayce including soup and all you can drink from 11 to 2. Would've paid more but might have been better.

    First time trying some spicy Hot pot and boy was it delicious! So much to choose from and so many skewers of all you can eat goodness. If you pay cash, you can get a can of soda and a small appetizer which we picked this chewy doughy cake like dessert which was surprisingly good! Price was decent but the soup base is extra which is fine because we expected it when we went online to look at the menu. I don't want to gross you guys out but there are so many different kinds of skewer for the hot pot you can think of from duck tongue to intestines. I do recommend at the very end, when you are almost done, get some noodles and soak up the flavorful soup that you have been cooking in for the last 2 hours and that noodle was out of this world! Don't forget to get your ice cream on the way out! The only reason why I didn't give them 5 star was that they didn't bring any lobster out until someone else mentioned it and we were almost already full. But delicious and definitely worth a try if you love hot pot!!! Until next time Canada, we'll be back!

    Hot pot with pork bone broth and medium spicy

    We came due to the recent hype from social media. Most people raved about the endless seafood (especially the lobster and crab and shrimp). If you're a seafood fan, this place is not a bad choice. It's in the super busy midland plaza near finch with what feels like hundreds of restaurants piled into a strip mall. Parking was ample but that was because we went at 5pm. There was also lots of seating choices in the restaurant despite it being a small joint. The service at the beginning was amazing. They were accommodating as we had a child with us. We picked the AYCE hot pot with the 2 bases (pork bone and medium spicy). $19.99 Per person it was $28.99 for weekday and $4.99 for kids under 4. I actually thought it was a bit crazy considering we had a 9 month old who just started solids with us and we had to pay $5 for him. There is quite a wide variety of foods including chicken heart and all kinds of organs, frog legs etc. quality of the meat slices and veggies was mainly mediocre. The rest were average. The only call out was the unlimited lobster. There was also rice and unlimited melona ice cream. The restaurant was comfortable when we got in coz we were early. It is a relatively smaller space so I would imagine it would be quite packed! Overall not really our cup of tea but a good value if you like lobster! A plus is that they take all types of credit card!

    I visited on Wednesday but was charged the holiday price. There was no service, yet they still required a 15% tip and insisted on cash payment. No one came to refill the soup or clear the plates. This seems like a blatant attempt to evade taxes by forcing customers to pay in cash. I'm going to report them to the CRA for an audit. What a dishonest restaurant--I hope it shuts down soon.

    Great place for skewer style hot pot. Almost everything is self serve so you get up and pick your skewers and other hot pot ingredients! The highlight here is they have crab, lobster and clams! We loved the crab tasted very fresh. They also got selection of meats like beef, lamb, chicken and lots of veggies and noodles options. Price was $30 for AYCE plus the soup which is about 15-20 for the table. Fair priced and tasted good. Would recommend and come back

    Variety is seafood, meats, vegetables, and noodles

    Stopped in for hot pot during the lunch time and was sparsely seated at the time. Had the double flavor soup base, spicy beef and pork bone and enjoyed a wide variety of seafood, beef, lamb, pork, and other skewers too many to describe. Assorted skewers were well stocked and of high grade. Soup bases were flavorful and there was a good variety of sauce to mix. Not a cheap meal but a niche treat now and then.

    I went during one of their promotions where if 3 people eat, the 4th one is free! On top of that, they had all you can eat crab and lobster included too which is an amazing deal! We got a double broth pot, with one being no spice and one being mild. The midl was still spicy though, so if it' your first time definitely err on the lower end. Only increase your spice levels on later visits when you are sure you can handle it! Getting food is quite easy as everything is neatly organized and labeled on shelves. It does get a bit crowded when it is busy though as everyone is trying to get food at the same time. The seafood goes fast so grab it when you get a chance. We really liked the duck tongue and beef as well. It's restocked pretty regularly which was great. What's great is dessert is included - they had fruit, buns with condensed milk, snow fungus dessert soup, and melona in the fridge by the door. Make sure you check out the fridge, no one really tells you that it's included or there so it's easy to miss out! Tables are quite small so I'd advise you not to bring more than 4ish people or it'll be hard to talk to each other and too crowded. Expect a line up when you get there and be prepared to wait a bit!

    Buffet with lobsters hahahah who can say no?!!! The price is fair and per person is around 50( includes tax +tip) I have to say this place may not be very friendly to the ppl who don't understand mandarin...there is proper English menu/service etc. Please bring someone who understands Chinese if you want to have a try! My favorite dish: Beef with pineapple Lobster Bean curd ...

    Unlimited lobster and crab and clam.!! Seafood bonanza
    Titus T.

    This place is a great deal for hot pot in an area flooded with hot pot. And the reason is entirely because of the seafood it offers. It is ayce crab and lobsters plus other seafood. The seafood is actually really fresh the selection choices are plenty. So you can easily eat your money's worth. The service is decent and there is decent quality when it comes to meat and vegetables so. Overall I would highly recommend if you are a seafood lover and hot pot lover. The place is decent looking but definitely going to be loud an delivery since it's a hot pot place

    Angela Y.

    I first saw this on BlogTo (I think) and was bracing myself to be catfished. I had heard the food wasn't that fresh but also saw that crab and lobster and wanted to see for myself. Honestly the meat selection was really weak. They only had 2 types of sliced meats and a few other non-sliced meats and veggies. The variety wasn't great but they had all the necessities. The highlight was definitely the endless lobster and crab. The shellfish seemed to be killed then frozen during peak season meaning they were FULL of roe. The only thing is that some leg pieces of the crab weren't cracked and they didn't have any crackers available so people were just using their teeth (which is a big nono). Regardless of all this, if you're a seafood lover I'd definitely recommend giving it a try (but bring your own cracker)

The broth was sweet, savoury, and not overly tangy. We got it with sweet potato noodles, which had the most satisfying and addictive chew. There was already so much meat and veg in there that you really don't need to add much else. My only thing is I wish there were more sweet potato noodles to go with everything in the bowl. We added the pig trotter (because duh!), which was perfectly seasoned, tender, and had that nice gelatinous texture. Because of how big the portion was, we took the leftovers home, added more glass noodles, and was still able to get two full meals out of it the next day! The MaoCai broth was pretty spicy. We went with medium, and were breaking a sweat. The numbing heat hits fast and makes it hard to sip on the broth while eating (definitely not for the weak). Still, it had a solid ratio of meat to veg to noodles, and everything held up well with the broth. The parfaits were exactly what we needed after all that hotpot. The Citrus Garden Green Tea had a nice blend of green tea, citrus, and coconut that worked surprisingly well together. But the Brown Sugar Black Tea Parfait was our favourite. The tapioca balls were perfectly chewy and not too sweet, and the mix of black tea and grass jelly gave it such a good combo of textures. It was rhe perfect cool down. From what I hear, if you can say their tongue twister 3x in 30s you can get 50% off their new ice cream parfaits!

So, how this works is you get your pot/bowl, get the ingredients you want first, they scale your bowl on how much to charge you, then you select your broth. I didn't want to die that night, so I got the Collagen Bone Broth. Very simple! You can also make your own dipping sauce on the side which made it very convenient if you got a simple broth like me. Restaurant is very modern and hip. I love how things were kept clean, such as the table, floor, stations to get your sauce. We ended with getting the matcha ice cream which was really good! Highly recommend this spot, for sureeee!

    I have been to a few malatang and I had high hopes for this one... it did not meet my expectations…read more I joined the waitlist and got called when my table was ready. The area to pick up a bowl was hectic. Very crowded space between picking ingredients and paying. You don't get a table until you pick up your bowl + paid. Everything was just stressful - lots of people, I am in my bulky jacket, holding my purse, etc. The food took some time to come out. Probably around 30 minutes... Ingredients were missing from some of our bowls. And some of the stuff was overcooked. The kimchi soup also had little soup and was very thick??? All the soups were salty but not particularly fragrant or super flavourful. As someone who loves soup noodles, I was not impressed. The best part of the meal was the ice cream. They had a seasonal flavour, ube, which was good but on the sweeter side. The matcha ice cream was great - and my favourite part of my meal. Our bowls ranged from $18 to $30 per a bowl. It's an additional $2 to add cheese and $3 do a bowl of rice. The restaurant can get very busy on a weekend evening, and noisy!
