    This is an AYCE Vietnamese style hot pot restaurant located next to a grocery store. Dinner is $30/person. It was fun picking the type of broth you wanted but it was hard to share with others and more like shabu shabu style. I was disappointed they didn't have many Chinese hot pot broth flavors and no sauces that were reminiscent of Chinese style hot pot, so that was probably the one negative part of the experience. The ingredients seemed pretty fresh, though meat portions were very small. Also they were quite stingy with the broth refills, and it seemed like you only get one broth refill, so technically that was not AYCE. For the price, I would probably not come back but if I had friends who wanted to try another style of hot pot cuisine, I would come back to show them this place.

    Food is okay, lack of sauce, service is the opposite. They never checked on us, no refills, and we have to ask for an iPad to order more. Our server disappeared every time, and we have to wave them over, feel like we're pestering them. I've been here over 3 times, and the service stays the same, no improvement. You can get your money's worth somewhere else, where they actually care about their customers.

It has a specialty coffee, Boba place, it has a Tokyo restaurant with sushi and other specialties, it has dim sum restaurant, and then in the back it has the most amazing hot pot I've had in recent years. My favorite thing about the hot pot is that everybody gets their own individual pot, and there are many different kinds of broth to choose from everything from a miso base, to a Tom ka base, to a laska base. They even have one that is super spicy. It's basically one price for hot, and you can choose as much meat, pork beef. What have you or you can go back and get a lot of the vegetables, they have noodles they have so many different traditional hot pot additives they even have spices so you can change the broth the way you want it and they have sauces that you can dip your meat in after you've cooked them in the pot, and many different varieties of those. They even have traditional desserts that are part of the menu. I am definitely going back. Such a cute space. Also by the way, let me mention how nice the service people were there, they were so helpful,instructive, really made the experience awesome. You must come and experience it yourself.

    Highly disappointed in this place.

For those that have a strong smoke aversion like I do within a restaurant, this is a huge red flag. I took a couple of steps in and had the entire cafe of forty to fifty people staring at me, as well as the hostess/waitress that looked at me with a 'WTF do you want' look. Aside from the chilly reception at the door and cigarette stench that tinged the nostrils, the venue was not lit very well. In fact, it could be mistaken for a nightclub that had just dimmed the lights really low, yet why in the middle of the day? And seriously, why do you have a sign up that says "no smoking" when half of your patrons are doing exactly that? Although this is advertised as a cafe, I really felt that I walked into a dirty, stinky bar venue. Given the previous reviews that I had read about Cafe Boulevard prior to venturing out and trying it, I honestly thought that I had the wrong place. I wound up walking out (the only DFW establishment that I've ever walked out of), particularly when I realized that I more than likely wouldn't be welcomed here if I chose a table to sit at. I'm quite sure that this venue is a pretty good place for those that could mind a heavy cigarette stench (not exaggerating) or rude/condescending service. Yet if I have a beignet & coffee craving next time, I'll just save that for a New Orleans-based venue that has far better customer service + cleaner restaurant environment.

    I always enjoy all the great food they have especially when I'm with a group of friends. Never a…read moredull day/night when I go to cafe Blvd. I always feel welcomed and I'm treated well at this place.
