They have a hot pot side and a barbecue side and we chose all you can eat hot pot. They have lots of cuts of meat to choose from, plus fresh vegetable and noodle stations that are self-serve. We went with a dual pot of beef broth with spicy Mongolian seasoning and veg broth with Spicy Tom Yum. Both were great, but I especially liked the spicy Mongolian. We ordered quite a bit of meat (some beef tendon, sliced beef, sliced pork, salmon, and pork and shrimp dumplings) and it was all fresh and delicious. Veg included bok choy, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, and lots more, plus plenty of noodle varieties. They have a great selection here and there's surely something for everyone. We had a great dinner here. Everything was tasty and the service was friendly. We'd definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!

The concept is unique, fun and creative. I love their message that Asian food isn't one thing and shouldn't be considered cheap. It isn't pretentious and the food was to die for. I think it's impossible to not have a good meal here. Our kind server helped us narrow down our choices and we loved every dish. We had clarified viet coffee and zing-get cocktails, both strong and delicious. For food we had charred bok choy, Tsukune bao slider, kan-poong, and the pork belly. The flavors were perfect, everything was well portioned and we left full. We can't wait to come back and try more next time. The chef here is very talented and has a unique culinary point of view.

We also shared an order of garlic cheese bread. Overall very satisfying meal at a reasonable price point. The cheese bread was cooked well, crispy and had a fair amount of cheese. The steak in my wife's salad was cooked to her liking, and the portion and freshness of the ingredients was good. The Reuben was good overall and the side salad was made with a spring mix, tomatoes and cucumbers. I would have liked to see a little more smoked meat in the Reuben since I felt it was a little bread heavy, but again overall very tasty.

My girlfriend and I went here for some bowling and ended up going to the restaurant for something to eat and what I thought was a simple idea turned out to be a massive mistake. We ordered a pitcher of beer and the server went away returned 3 times to tell us the beer we kept ordering was "out" and that "the keg needs to be changed" finally we got a pitcher of FLAT Alexander Keiths beer that cost us $18!!! I would have been better off flying to Halifax, going into the brewery and brewing my own beer. We should have just left after that and cut our losses but we just wanted pizza and thought "you can't screw up pizza, can you?" Turns out, Yes you can screw up making pizza. It took 50 minutes to cook a pepperoni and cheese, it was beyond cold and hard as a rock oh and ya know..BURNED and black on the bottom. So it was hot at some point... It was such a simple order of Pizza.... and Beer..... I'm a working student and I work many hours a week on school and my job, I interact with lots of people on a day to day basis. I will tell everyone I know from this day on to never and I mean NEVER visit the JJ Kapps Backyard BBQ Steak and Gill, the only thing that can save this place is a grease fire. I recommend this place gets shut down and a revamped menu. The chef and company involved should feel embarrassed about the bad product, the quality of the product, the service and the wallet burning prices. You can do so much better then this, work smarter not harder.

One of my cousins has a bit of an obsession with natural sweeteners and scheduled a trip to White Meadows for us last weekend. It was a bit of a drive from our Finger Lakes Airbnb that involved a literal border crossing, but honestly was worth the trek. I wasn't sure what to expect beyond a deluge of maple leaf signs/flags, but I definitely left with an appreciation of the insane amount of work required to make this without using mass-produced corn syrup. We'd scheduled a tour, subsequent syrup tasting and charcuterie board for a 1:30pm start time. Not knowing what drama we might encounter at the border (there was absolutely none - deliciously uneventful; this isn't the border anyone gets particularly riled up about), we got here super early and had ample time to look around the gift shop. I barely considered the implications of the tariffs and didn't bother buying any maple syrup - understandably when I went to the farm's website later, it indicated they're not shipping to the US right now. That decision will haunt me for weeks and maybe months to come. Our guide was Nathan, who was an absolute superstar. I can't recommend this guy highly enough. He was engaging and knew how to talk about the science and concepts behind maple syrup and its cultivation on the farm in a way that was easily digestible but also very in-depth and informative. We were in a pretty inquisitive group, and he fielded a myriad of questions ably; I also liked that once or twice, he didn't know the answer and just said that - sadly a rarity in this day and age. But that didn't happen very often; Nathan knows maple syrup. The tour consists of a 10 to 15-minute discussion in one of the prep rooms near the gift shop (where most of the equipment and technical terminology is broken down), followed by a 10-minute tractor ride to the woods on the other side of the property to the tree-tapping area where the majority of the tour takes place, followed by a ride back to the starting point and a five-minute tasting of the four syrups made on the farm. One piece of constructive feedback - there were several young children there who were honestly a bit of a distraction. This is probably school age kid friendly but there were some very antsy toddlers (and even an infant) who just weren't old enough for this. I'd put a disclaimer up on the website that this isn't really appropriate for pups that young so the parents know ahead of time not to bother booking it. It is really wild seeing how much goes into creating maple syrup on a mom-and-pop farm like this. The intricate weaving of the taps/tubes throughout the forest leading to a storage tank out of site, and seeing how aggressive you have to be to take advantage of the very narrow window that sap can be harvested? Had no idea. If nothing else, you'll definitely come away from this being blown away by the syrup trade and the immense work required. You just never think about this stuff when you're at the diner pouring (not real) syrup onto your pancakes. The tasting and charcuterie were really good too - if you're already here, I'd spring for the charcuterie so you can sample the syrups and assorted meats/cheeses on a grander scale than just the tasting. The only annoying part were the yellowjackets constantly trying to get in on the fun (which I found out in Canada are more commonly referred to as wasps). I honestly have no idea how they can fix or alleviate that issue since by definition you're putting sweet/sugary stuff out on picnic tables, but might be worth troubleshooting down the line. Absolutely would recommend if you happen to be in the general Upstate NY area and have your passport handy. But make sure you actually buy the syrup there - I have no idea when I'm going to get a chance to sup on the Golden grade of syrup again.
