I've been here twice so far. I've always had a good experience. This hot pot isn't all you can eat. You need to order each dish separately plus pay for access to the sauce station. The broth is flavorful, the meat is high quality and with large portions. I don't like having to pay for the sauce station but overall this is my favorite hot pot in Ottawa presently. We got a two sided soup, 2 plates of meat, bamboo, tofu, lotus root, cabbage, mushrooms and access to the sauce and the price came to about $100 before tax and tip. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable seating, the restaurant is on the smaller end but it's kept clean & tidy. Food quality overall is good. It ends up being more expensive than other AYCE locations when you tally up the dishes, but you do have the option to choose "half portions" (menu pricing is for full portion). Eating what we normally would at Happy Lamb, our bill came to about $187 with tip for 2 people. Note: $20 VIP card for VIP pricing does not apply to half portions, only full. read more

Friendly service by the server Jannnis and the team. The broth was high quality. The meat has a nice color and was tasty. Lots of fun making your own sauces to dip food into The wait time is pretty long on the weekend, expect to wait 45-60 mins, so go nearby and do some errands. The food came quickly once you ordered Expect to spend $45-$60 each cause everything costs money including the broth, and even use of sauces. The amount of meat is generous though for the price read more

An update from my last review. I don't know what's changed Management wise, but the menu has expanded, they now serve a great Fried Pork dish for those that don't want to have to cook all of their food and the Service is improved dramatically. Best Hot Pot in town. read more

It's great delicious and the service is wonderful I highly recommend it for all the lovers of hot pot

Server helpful in explaining the menu even though there was a little bit of a language barrier. Both Spicy house and duck's broth were flavorful but not over whelming. The meats and vegetables were fresh and brought promptly. Servers came by serval times to check on us and refill our broths and waters. Establishment very clean. Sauce bar fully stocked and clean. I would bring family and friends to this place again. read more

This was my first time eating hotpot ever! I always saw it on Merivale but never tried it until now. I'm so glad I went. The place is organized well with tables and booths for separate pots and group pots. It was quite empty due to the current situation going on in the world. Luckily our service was very quick and the waitress answered all our questions. I went with my siblings and we all got one large pot with 3 soup bases (see pictures). We ordered all the meat we could and some veggies. There's a sauce station where you can make your own concoctions or follow Liuyishou's recommendations (ingredients given on paper). The food came quite quickly and we were given a boiling time sheet (so you know how long to the food). Everything tasted absolutely amazing and I'm definitely going back!! I recommend going in a group because it can get pricey however you get what you pay for. Great quality! Our total came to around $128. Not bad for 4 adults. It's not AYCE by the way! Just go there and try anything that interests you. See my pictures for what I ordered. Try the Chinese doughnuts (bread) too (forgot to take a picture). Overall fantastic experience :) read more

Pretty good hot pot restaurant, but pricey. The spicy broth is very spicy, even on the lightest spice level. If you don't like spicy, I'd recommend the pork broth. All of the meats and ingredients were fresh and high quality. The sauce bar has everything you need to make a delicious sauce for your hot pot and the restaurant is clean. read more

Food is good. Meat is fresh, the spicy soup is the best in the area. Service is above average, some waiters look cool and didn't feel that welcomed. And ambiance is great! Highly recommend. read more

Good service and food was so so so good! I loved the sauce bar and the menu was easy to use. It was my first time having Chinese hot pot and it was really good! read more

One word: expensive! The bill for 3 people was almost $70, so it would be better to come here with more friends so you can get more variety! Everything is definitely very fresh however. First off, you can choose your size of pot, as well as if you want spicy/non-spicy (you can have both)! Tip: the non-spicy broth is delicious to drink after you are done as a soup...all the flavours of the veggies and meat really complement the broth! Then you pay $2.50 per person to have access to the sauce station, as well as unlimited appetizers near the sauce station (wood fungus, cabbage...and fruits)! Then on your sheet you can pick the meats/veggies you want. I would recommend half sizes (which you can get with almost everything except the platters) for more variety! The place was very modern and comfortable. It was packed, so service can be slow. I had to ask for iced water twice (for the spicy broth)! They give you tea, and you can ask for them to bring the tea pot for your table's use. I only tried the lamb, which was tender and fresh, as well as a few veggies. When you leave, you don't stink like hotpot unlike Mongolian hot pot! I imagine it would be lovely in winter when it's freezing, but they had ample A/C on in the hot weather. read more

It's a great cozy place, for a chinese fondu (Hot pot), they offer real fresh meat and veggies. You can choose single or split soup base, perfect for a group of friends where some like spicy and some prefer simple flavour. The service is okay, I'd expect a little more from a large franchise restaurant. Be sure to try their hand battered shrimp patty, boil it to make shrimp ball. Super tasty and super fresh! read more

Protip = Not AYCE. Better value if you come with more people! Now onto the actual review... AMBIANCE = The interior is much nicer than what you'd typically expect in a restaurant in these strip malls. I think all tables have comfy benches - half the store is big hot pot (everyone share one pot) and the other half is for individual pots. Nice lighting, good ventilation considering it's a hotpot place. FOOD = SO MANY CHOICES. Broths were great. I liked the mushroom one. If you can't do spicy, the spicy broths may kill you lol. I can generally handle spicy and I almost died...but then maybe that's because I tried to eat the vermicelli that disintegrated at the bottom and ended up chewing on the deathly spicy herbs/pepper bits...so....don't do that. Note for the future: their vermicelli cooks really fast so don't let go of it from your chopsticks, just dip! (Some other kinds take forever to cook but this is not the case here.) All the items we ordered were fresh and clean. I recommend the wintermelons! SERVICE = Generally great. They spend time with you explaining how to order, answer all your questions, and are pretty prompt when you flag them down when you need stuff. (This is a Chinese style restaurant so if you need something you have to call them, otherwise they won't come check on you.) When they get busy it's hard to get their attention though. PRICE = It adds up pretty quickly if you're just 2-3 people. For the 2 of us it came to like...$45-50 after taxes and tip. If I go next time, I'll be sure to bring more people. read more

Food is great and quick. Menu is fairly easy to use and staff are often offering explanation or help if needed. They always ask if it's our first time visiting, which is a good practice because it's not obvious if you've never been. The space is casual, clean, and quite lively because (1) people get up often to get sauces from the "sauce buffet" and (2) it's hotpot so it's communal by nature. read more

Great Hot Pot. It's a little more expensive than the Little Sheep down the road but it's worth the cost. The broth flavor is excellent. read more

very nice customer service. Music can be a bit loud sometimes. Big portions of side foods. Really nice spice area where people can get their own spices. Free wifi read more

First time ever having hot pot and tried it here. The staff were great and super helpful in their explanation of how to order and how everything works. Went pretty simple with a spicy broth and the pork bone broth and it was great with the veggies and meat we also got. Highly recommend this place. read more

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! I've never had hot pot before but let me tell you... no regret's at all! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing servers, amazing lightning... did i mention amazing food? If you're like me and have never had hot pot before certainly go and give it a try you will not be disappointed. How it works: Essentially you pick a size (large or small) for the hotpot. There are many flavours that breaks down to spicy section and none spicy section. Once you decide the size you can chose a max of 2 flavours that will have the pot split in half. The pot will be put on your mini stove on your table. Then you order vegetables/meat/etc from the menu. The portions are VERY generous,the quality is top notch and they are as fresh as you can possibly imagine. I was very impressed and i am not one to be easily impressed because i am very picky. I suggest going with a group as it is significantly more enjoyable to order separate dishes and share. I highly suggest the hand made noodles, the beef, and the mushroom platter. 10/10 definitely going back and bringing friends and family with me. read more

Really authentic Sichuan hot pot. Great service and great food. Highly recommend! The cold jelly dessert is a must try. read more

Great service and exceptional quality. This a A la carte hot pot franchise from China. You definitely get what you pay for. The meat and vegetables are fresh. The service is top notch. The employees look after you making sure your table is cleared and not overcrowded. The traditional spicy secret soup base is a definite must have as is their special pork rib soup base. Their sauce bar is diverse. I would recommend a reservation as the restaurant has only about 20 tables and seats about 80-100. read more

This location has just opened, and had the chance to try it. They offer the tomato soup broth which was delicious and provides nice break from the spicy broth when needed. This hot pot is NOT all you can eat. All items are paid individually including your dipping sauce/sides, the broth (which is pretty standard for hot pot), and all items individually. Their meat is priced out by quality, portions provided are generous for the meat and the veggies. Also tried their hand pulled noodles they were good but not to die for. The quality of the food and the soup bases at this restaurant are a welcomed improvement in comparison to the only other hot pot chain in Ottawa. Very excited to see some competition entering the market! read more

Really good Chinese hot pot, bit on the pricier side, we spend $200 ish for 2 adult and 2 toddlers, but totally worth it, the restaurant is nice and clean. Most customers are Chinese, that's how you know the restaurant is authentic. Definitely recommend read more

Went there last year. Good service and excellent choices and quality, but it is quite expensive as it is not all u can eat.

Good environment, lots of selections, taste is kept the same as that in Mainland China. But it's kinda pricy compared to other hotpot restaurants in Canada. read more
