Service was nice as they will help you with the ordering. Some of the staff could speak cantonese there which was nice rather than just Mandarin and English. Although it is expensive for hotpot, you get your money's worth with the variety of seafood you can select. You get 2 soup flavors. There were seafood options you don't normally find like mantis shrimp, conch, abalone, small sweet shrimp, razor clams, crab, etc. They also had sashimi, bbq skewers and other hot foods in addition to the hotpot. They also give you a complementary lobster or sea cucumber per table. They had a good variety of drinks to choose from. Another unique offering is they provide durian for dessert. If you pay in cash at the end, they give you free milk and fruit tea drinks per person to go. The drinks are from LaanKee. They don't have any discounts like birthday or senior. A nice feature here when ordering is that they let you choose between 2 portions: more or less. The best strategy is to get everything in the first round with a 'less' portion so you can try out all the different foods available and then order more of what you want later on. This also helps prevent wasting food which they charge by pound if there is alot. Definitely recommend checking out this place at least once to experience it. This place is perfect for all the seafood and durian lovers out there.

Usually, she initially orders you large portions of meat, but then they become smaller, and they often delay asking if you want more or simply ignore you.

They offered us aprons and hair ties, similar to Haidilao, which I really appreciated. We chose the regular AYCE that included the regular meats. The lamb was really delicious and super soft! They did not come out frozen like other places. I'd say start with 2 orders of meat per person. So we ordered 4 plates to start. You can choose any two soup flavors if you choose the dual pot option. I also asked for gloves to eat the crawfish and they gave us some! The stations looked to be mostly kept organized and clean. I did not like the plastic tongs. They were difficult to use imo. Food was pretty standard overall. You're definitely paying for the variety. Service was attentive and great. They even have a soft drink station if you like sodas. I got the plum juice. The meats were definitely the star. We only eat beef and lamb at hot pot and they were both so tender, soft, and seemed fresh!

Chicken collagen with fish maw golden broth hot pot. Took me several times to get the description…read moreright. Because it was so uniquely good and I made it a mission to bookmark this in my mental food archives. For anyone who has eaten hot pot many times from all restaurants available throughout NYC, you typically dip and cook your foods in a broth and focus on eating just the cooked foods. Here is a different story, you enjoy drinking the broth altogether with your food. Lots of things I found fascinating was each table had a chicken timer on top for the staff to see when the golden broth was at each table, to ensure it sustained well and not foamed up and wasted. This broth was so mindblowingly good that I did not even needed to go to the dipping sauces station for my meal. If I had to describe the taste without degrading the broth, think of it as an elevated chicken egg soup but 10x's better. As the flavor does justice because it's brewed for 10 hours with care and pride. The staff did a good job and our server made sure when we added the food for cooking, they instructed how long to cook each item: Wagyu beef, abalone, greens and noodles to not soil the broth's flavor. This place was easy to get a table for 2 on a Saturday night, maybe because on a flood watch day. Very comfortable seating and even the drinkware and dish equipment were top notch to enhance our experience. Important factor too with hot pot dining, there's no aftermath hot pot odors stuck on your clothes as this broth did none of the sort. I've never had this type of hotpot before and anything new that leaves a memorable experience for me, makes me want to food research further, like how this type of broth idea started. A good option for those not wanting to do AYCE for hot pot and pay a reasonable cost. One of the meals I will have dreams of and remember for a long time.

Don't skip on this gem of a place. The broth alone is the reason to dine here. This hot pot place…read morehas one of the best broths I've had for hot pot. Their signature B4. Chicken and fish maw broth is packed with flavor. It's also their most popular and highly recommended broth. It has the diced chicken, fish maw, jujubes and lily flower buds. The broth is rich in flavor yet great in simplicity. You can tell that they put a lot of love into making it. The set comes with Chinese yam, squash, white fungus and noodles. You can order additional items à la carte to add to your broth. We ordered king oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and the shiitake mushrooms pulled with shrimp paste. They also have a sauce bar for any of the food you cook in the broth, but the broth was so amazing and delicious we didn't even visit the sauce bar during our dinner. The place is a decent size. Lots of tables of various sizes. There are tables various sizes around. This hot pot place the tables have only one burner, so if you have multiple people, you will need to agree on the broth that works for all. In addition to the hot pot broths and à la carte ingredients you can add to the broth, they also have appetizers, rice and noodles. Our server was so sweet. She walked us through the menu and made sure to grab a kids tray for my daughter to use to eat her food. She came by often to check if we needed anything extra. She also gave us a container to pack our leftovers and broth to take home. We all were super happy with our meal and service. Wish we lived more locally to visit more often, but it will be on our list to revisit more.

The waitress told us there would be bones in it, but there was practically no meat... It definitely was good to pair with rice tho Not sure if we ordered the right things at this visit, as I saw a couple of locals dining here with different dishes. Will have to give this store another try.

For korean bbq, I will never say no to a round of brisket and pork belly. The vibe and service here has been consistent. I normally order hotpot and the portions per rounds is decent. I love lamb, pork belly, and any marbled beef option they have. I love the various thinly sliced meat portions for the hotpot and various toppings and additions such as vegetables and fish balls. I go with the tomato soup based as I like the savory, tangy flavor. There is also a mini buffet for sides and an array of sauces to choose from. I like that they guide you in their sauce buffet by the use of photos for the best way to combine all the flavors. I hope to come back!

Ambiance felt modern and more futuristic - black, sleek counters and tables with K-Pop playing on all the TVs. Food was easy to order with the iPad and came out within a reasonable amount of time post ordering. Food selection was solid - we ended up just getting the hotpot option so we shared all the dishes that came out and put them in our individual pots. Flavors were solid and quality was fine. It was a typical AYCE experience so we left full, but we had a good time. Thanks, KPOT!

Depending on how big your party is, you can order a combo for 2,3,4+ people, and the portion is generous! You can then pick how many toppings you want in your broth, and what sides you want. There are 3 broths to choose from, with 2 spicy, and 1 tomato (non spicy). The toppings can include vegetables like bok choy or enoki, all the way to glass noodles and spam. My favorite sides are the fried pork belly, and fried chicken wings. They do their fried foods well, and the 5 spice dipping powder is sooo good with it. Their cucumber salad, and the black noodles are cold dishes that are light and refreshing. The noodles are a bit on the sour side, so it's great to pair if you get a spicier or oilier soup. You can also pick from fish, beef or a combo. I'm from a seafood family, but surprisingly we pick beef most times. It's soo tender and it soaks up the flavors very well. It's worth a visit! You should definitely come try :)

We decided on the small pot with beef and 2 sides special. For a combo that fed 2 people with leftovers to spare it was a good deal. The small pot is quite large. We got to choose some premium ingredients such as king oyster mushrooms and wide starch noodles. The deal came with a choice of 2 sides so we got fried pork belly and takoyaki. Both arrived pretty fresh and piping hot, not stale. The main course of the small pot we chose with mild spicy flavor. It had a good numbing spicy kick though it a hint of the greasy taste that turns me off a little bit with these types of dishes. It wasn't overwhelmingly greasy, thankfully. There was a generous amount of beef and mushrooms as well as noodles. Overall a great meal at a good price.

The restaurant is very spacious and perfect for large groups and families. There's peanuts, fried broad beans, and sunflower seeds at the table for you to eat while waiting for the food. The Artic clams have a pepper sauce that is super addicting and comes with cucumbers underneath that add a refreshing crunch. We tried the buffalo fish in a spicy garlic base. The buffalo fish does have many small bones which they warn about, but the flesh is very more meaty than most fishes and I don't mind the bones. The spicy garlic base comes with tons of garlic and is the perfect amount of spice. We added the mung bean noodles, lotus root and enoki mushrooms. The portion for the add-ons are very generous!

The short ribs were the highlight of the meal - tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also appreciated that the staff cooked the meat for us. The ribeye, however, was a bit disappointing. It came out dry, slightly tough, and lacked the flavor we were expecting. The pork jowl came out cooked and tasted a little overcooked. I also thought it was interesting that they served raw napa cabbage instead of the usual lettuce wraps for the grilled meats. The mul naengmyeon was decent but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the meal was enjoyable thanks to the short ribs, but the other dishes didn't quite live up to the rest.
