Pineapple fried rice, served in a real pineapple!!
Kristin A.

This restaurant serves the best Thai food in northeastern Connecticut! Everything I have eaten here has been so delicious and fresh. It's also the only Thai restaurant in the area that does Thai hot pot. They have a selection of traditional African dishes too. I may try those next time. Currently they do not serve alcohol but it's on the menu, so at some point I think they will get a liquor license. They haven't been open that long and I think they're still trying to figure out the service aspect of things but I am willing to overlook that because everyone who works here is very nice and the food is so good!

Great food, service is great, I have't had anything there yet I didn't like. Fancy presentation of food. Wish it was a little more cozy inside. Slightly pricey but worth it.

Great Crab Rangoon! Best I've ever had! Cute and homey space, along with a great server! Thank you.

The food was well flavored and cooked correctly. Fun menu to try some things that are not common in the quiet corner.

We celebrated our 31st anniversary here and had such a great experience! The ambiance was just…read moreright. We went outside of peak hours so it was quiet. The service here is quick and the staff is attentive. The food is fresh and plentiful. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault because this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Ordering is easy. The waiter gave us an iPad and walked us through the menu and ordering process since it was our first time dining here. Once we placed our order, the meats were brought to the table within minutes! We ordered beef & chicken bulgogi, pork belly, and shrimp throughout our time there. It's fun to cook it over the tabletop grill. We did not opt for the hotpot. There is a buffet-style area with salad, sauces and lots of bonchon. Hubby spent a year in Korea and said the kimchi here tastes like he remembered it tasting in Korea. They serve mild kimchi so don't be afraid to try it. I love their daikon radish and spicy cucumbers, especially when eating with beef bulgogi. The kimchi hits right with bulgogi as well. We had so much fun here! Highly recommend!

It's all you can eat so don't expect 5 star service all the time. If you don't know the workers, they don't care about you. I notice that. Crab legs you have to order with the iPad now and crawfish is still unlimited and good. However I never know which beef slice I'm getting. Even if I order ribeye the second order doesn't look the same or taste the same. They mix ribeye and brisket all the time and I hate that. I use to rave about this place but only come when you crave it. Service has gone downhill

I love that everyone gets their individual pot and within the individual pot, you can have two broths! That's the first time I've seen this at an ayce hotpot. Their original broth was so good, flavorful and deep bone flavor. I wanted the szechuan peppercorn, but our waiter told me it might be too spicy. I ended up with szechuan spice instead, medium, and it really wasn't that spicy. I will try the peppercorn next time. The menu of things for hot pot were pretty standard and all good quality. Drinks were also included and it's great that they include specialties like thai tea, milk tea, etc. The sauce bar was also extensive and I really liked the stewed spare ribs next to the rice. I would pay for that as an entree. Overall, my group and I had a great experience here. Our waiter was fantastic! He checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. He was the only one there too. I will definitely come back :)

I saw "Soukie's Secret Sauce" in another Yelp review and made my own version without the bean curd or sugar. It was a great starting point, and mixing a sauce is part of the fun. I've eaten hot pot in several countries, and each place does things a little differently. If this is your first visit, ask plenty of questions so you can settle in and enjoy the experience. The gender neutral restrooms have always been immaculate when I've visited. On this particular night, the restroom on the right was out of paper towels. I let the staff know, and they took care of it. That kind of attention adds to an already enjoyable meal. I'd gladly come back.

Hubby responsibly orders a delicious lunch menu item & I order enough food for THREE people!!! - Steamed roast pork rice rolls - Steamed Golden Palace shrimp dumplings - Steamed pork & shrimp shumai - Deep-fried taro dumpling with pork & dried shrimp - Baked roast pork buns - Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fresh garlic Hubby loves the #14 combo: shrimp with vegetables, fried rice, golden fingers (chicken tenders) & egg roll. Even for him, it is enough for 2 meals! His favorite item from the dim sum menu is the stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fresh garlic. Everything was outstanding & I would do it again tomorrow. If you are ever in the vicinity of Mohegan Sun, take a 5 minute drive & check out this amazing Chinese restaurant! Dim sum is available daily so give it try. Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 6 Overall: 7 I have been coming here for the last 20 years. It has been one of my favorite dim sum restaurants in all of the US. Obviously things change over time, but my recent visit still tells me that most of the food is still very solid, though not quite as great as it once was. What I love about this place is that all the food comes out fresh and hot. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite items have taken a step back. For example, the Sticky Rice Flour Dumpling w/ Pork & Dried Shrimp had way less filling than a few years ago. Still good flavor, but not great any more. Also, what happened to the Pork & Shrimp Stuffed Peppers? All I tasted was soy based ground pork and no shrimp whatsoever. Lastly, the Duck Egg Yolk Custard Bun has gone really downhill. Skip! With that said, I still absolutely love their Pork & Shrimp in Dried Bean Sheet Roll. One of the best I've had anywhere. Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce and Fatty Pork Ribs, and Sole Filet in a Fried Thin Rice Wrap are still excellent. There are many other standard items that are done well, but not necessarily better than most places. Every time I come to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Casino, this has been a must stop. Though I feel the quality has downgraded a bit, I would still consider this restaurant one of the best places to eat in the area. However, I do hope that they find their old magic touch with some of my favorite dishes.

My only negative comment, the appetizer/ sauce bar that I was critical of in September hasn't changed . Management really needs to change that set up. It's just not hygienic, when you lean over the get a plate or bowl stored under that bar, your face is inches away from the unprotected buckets of sauce, it's not a good set up and needs to be changed. It's not like fixing this set up would cost a lot of money to fix and it really should be changed immediately.

As you walk in, the place was already buzzing at 5 pm on Sunday. The place has a sort of gaming arcade feel to it. Very bright with lots of LED lights and tacky signs. Not a fan, but can appeal to a family with kids. I have had hot pot and Korean and Japanese BBQ before. This place, I thought, was OK, not amazing in terms of food quality. If you have hungry teenage boys, this place is awesome. We opted to have both BBQ and hotpot, it was additional $5 per person. Because this place has two hour dining time limit, but you can ear all you want, they serve a lot of frozen and prepared meats and veggies for the grille or the hot pot. Similar formula for a volume restaurant, but I have had better quality elsewhere. The service was efficient and speedy. You order your food via touch pad tablet. The raw food comes out within minutes for you to cook. At $38 per person, plus your drinks, it can get pricy but everyone goes home stuffed. In the end, it is about $55 to $60 per person with tips.

Over the years, I came here many times, often with a group & I have introduced Hot pot to many of my American colleagues. The boss was here most of time & the hot pot was consistently amazing, never a miss. Unfortunately, all good things eventually come to an end. My recent visit made me realize that Han hot pot was not what it used to be. There were three strikes in my last visit. When I went in, I realized that the boss was no longer around, replaced by a "manager". It wasn't a good sign as this is the same boss of the restaurant "Song", when he stopped managing Song directly, the food good quality went down hill fast. The first strike was the order. I ordered several mushrooms for my hotpot, the waiter suggested just go with "mushrooms platter", so I said ok. It turns out, none of the mushrooms showed up, he forgot the mushroom platter that he himself suggested. Ok mistakes happen, let's just focus on the food. The second strike was that the lamb slices were nowhere as good as before. They were cut way too thick. This completely changed hot pot cook timing, texture & flavor. This is a big fail at foundational level for Chinese hotpot. I am from Beijing, the capital of hotpot, serving thick slices for hotpot is just unthinkable. The third strike, something was a miss in the sauce department. I always mix my own Beijing hotpot sauce mix, which is based on Sesame paste, leek flower, fermented tofu & a few other things, it had never tasted sweet until now. This is no good, did somebody add sugar to sesame paste? Or one of the other ingredients? Regardless, the mix tasted off & it ruins the experience. I mixed another dish & the same, tasted too sweet, someone is adding sugar where it doesn't belong. All of the fail compounded by raising the price to $33, it'd be hard to justify coming back here for lunch going forward. Fair well my Han hot pot. Note: Yelp is messed up. I did an update & Yelp failed to keep my original review which I gave 5 stars & won Yelp of the day (YOTD). So the entire 2017 review & YOTD record is now gone. However, strangely, Yelp kept my old photos. These photos are from 9 years ago, they do look better than the food being served today!
