The decor is welcoming and stylish with comfortable seating. Our waitress was kind and patient in guiding us in our entree selections. She was knowledgeable of the menu and the bar. The bartender won our respect by properly preparing a vesper martini. All of our food options were beautifully plated, offering enough to share with our appetizers and leftovers of our main entrees. Delicious. Every single item was cooked to perfection and rounded out by their potatoes and seasonal vegetables which were also flavorful and cooked to perfection. Can't wait to return to try more menu options!

We happened to come during happy hour which looks to be Tuesday-Thursday 4:30-6p. We ordered the potato croquettes and tempura portabella mushrooms for appetizers. The croquettes are part of the happy hour menu so it was a good price. I didn't realize there were only going to be 2 of them but they were a large size! The portabella mushrooms were so good! We were surprised by the amount that we got. I didn't really like the sauce that came with the croquettes so I used the sauce that came with the mushrooms. For our dinner, I got the devil roll (forgot to take a pic - sorry!) and my friend got the teriyaki tofu bento box. My devil roll was pretty good, nothing too special about it. My friend loved her bento and said the agedashi tofu and the inari were her fav. Our server was really attentive and always came to check on us! I also loved that he stopped by to ask if the peanut dressing for our salads was ok. It wasn't too loud in there since there were still empty tables so it was easy to talk and hear each other.

Highlights: * The pork bone soup was rich and comforting, perfect for sharing. * The pickled mustard fish soup had just the right kick of spice and tang, with tender fish and mushrooms--definitely a must-try. * The small plates were excellent too: the cold beef with chili oil was super flavorful, the cauliflower stir-fry had a nice crunch, and the blood tofu dish was surprisingly tasty. The portions are generous, and everything comes out fresh and hot. It's the kind of place where you can linger, share a variety of dishes, and enjoy a long meal with friends or family. The vibe is casual but warm, with beautiful Chinese-style decor on the walls. Service was friendly and quick, even though we ordered a lot of dishes at once. If you're craving homestyle Chinese food in Michigan, this is definitely worth the visit. We'll be back to try the hotpot next time!

The quality of the food and veggies was great, and we got a lot for the price compared to hot pot restaurants I've visited in other major cities. Can't see the menu when the restaurant is closed. The website has a poor user experience - We should be able to see the dine-in menu from the website before we visit the restaurant - not just a crappy "order online" menu that is not visible when the restaurant is closed.

It came out and there was enough meat to feed maybe a toddler. For 150 bucks you'd think there would be more meat especially for the chicken. 25-30 dollars for a couple ounces of chicken is insane. Overall the service and quality of the food isn't horrendous. But the skimping on the meat is absolutely outrageous. Ambience is cool I guess. Lower the prices if your gonna charge upwards of $40 for a couple ounces of beef

My nephew…read moretold me about this place and told me to get the dry pot, so checked the place out while visiting EL. I looked at the menu and for the dry pot, you need to select a min. of seven items from the menu. If doing dry pot, let the staff know, as there's a separate menu for it. I went with med. spice, added: squid x 2, rice noodles x 2, shrimp x 2, beef brisket x 2, pork belly x 2, baby bokchoy x 1, chinese cabbage x 1, egg plant x 1, dry tofu x 2, & enoki mushroom x 1 Yes, added a lot and it's because the menu was not helpful. Lot of the items are singular, couldn't tell if "Squid" meant 1 or 1 serving. If it was 1 serving, how many squids came in a serving? As I wasn't sure, some of them I ended up ordering two. IE: Shrimp, I got 2 orders, there were 9 or 10 shrimps... had I know 1 order was equal to 5 shrimps, I would have ordered just 1. I wish they would update their menu to reflect the topping items so the customers know how many comes in a order. My bill came out to $70, yeah, it can get expensive! It took some time to get the food... but because I ordered lot of items, the food that came out was good for 5 people :) It was good, loved the medium spice and definitely hit the spot. Oh and yes, had leftover and took it home. I thought I was going a good job of eating, but barely made dent in the plate. I brought the leftovers home and had two more meals out of it. If you are in EL area, definitely visit the place and if you go, go with friends to try other offerings. If you are solo diner and ordering dry pot, only order one item of each from the list and 7 items from the list will be plenty for one person. Three stars for now.

A big group needs space and a huge menu so everyone can actually find something they want to eat. The college aged kids working the tables were running around trying their absolute best to keep up with the drink orders and the food. It took forever for anything to arrive, but honestly that part is understandable with a crowd our size. Things started getting weird when the entrees showed up before the appetizers and salads. I dug into my stuffed Chicago style pizza and noticed it was barely warm. Even stranger, it was sitting in this unbaked pan on top of some weird tray keeping it off the bottom. There was zero crusting on the pan at all, which makes no sense for a pizza that is supposed to bake for thirty minutes. It was just a lukewarm disappointment. Then the night took a massive turn for the worse. Halfway through the meal, the guy sitting right next to me jumped up because he saw a bug. He lifted his pizza up, and a live cockroach came running out across the table. One of our friends had to trap the thing under a glass. The whole table went into a frenzy, so we called for the manager. When he finally showed up, he was completely nonchalant about the fact that a live roach just crawled out of our dinner. He gave us a casual apology and walked away. After waiting around for another half hour, we spotted him just casually wiping down other tables. We had to confront him again to see what was being done, and he just brushed us off by saying the waitress would handle it. He comped a few minor things, but left almost the entire bill full. We had to push him a third time because half the table lost their appetite and refused to pay for food that came out of a roach infested kitchen. He threw a small discount at us, but still forced everyone to pay for their tabs. While we were trying to settle up and just get out of there, the staff started opening up to us. Our waitress told us she was quitting in a week because this kind of stuff happens constantly, and she was tired of dealing with the fallout. Another waiter mentioned it was only his third day on the job and he was already planning to jump ship. To top it all off, we walked past the kitchen and office area on our way out and the sheer lack of cleanliness explained everything. Unless you want a side of live pests with your lukewarm pizza, absolutely skip this place.
