It is a bit baffling to me how they charge $38 for hotpot! You can literally go to KPOT for both…read morehotpot AND KBBQ for that same price. They also charge an extra $4 if you want to change out your broth. I got the tonkatsu broth, which was fine... Not super flavorful but I also didn't finish the broth. The items to put into the hotpot were fine, though we couldn't tell some of the meats apart. The spicy sauces they had at their sauce bar was not spicy at all. They also didn't have sesame oil, which was a bit surprising. The most annoying part was that their credit card machine wasn't working that day, which they never said up front before we started ordering. Overall, it was a fine, middle-of-the-road experience.

I used to love this place but the past few visits are huge disappointments…read more First and foremost, the condiment bar is dirty. There are multiple gnats hovering above the uncovered sauces. I notified our server and he just shrugged "it's been like that". We were the only customers in the restaurant. He was mostly just hanging out by the cashier, he could have cleaned the condiment bar easily. I lost my appetite after seeing the bugs flying around the condiment bar. Even though we were the only people in the restaurant, they did not check on us at all. The table next to us was not cleaned up until an hour after they left. Meat quality is subpar at best. Beef slices are either super fatty or not marbled at all. Each plate of beef tongue looks different, their quality is not very consistent. They used to bring out ice cream with the check, now you have to ask for it. I think the fact that it's not very sanitary sealed the deal for me, there are plenty of places in the area that are much cleaner. It's a bummer because this place used to be so popular (a few years ago, you have to wait 1.5-2 hours to be seated on the weekends), it's so sad that it has fallen off and I truly hope that they can bounce back.

Also love it when they have the revolving belt on and you can just grab items to try from there. I will always recommend this hot pot to anyone that asks, their food is fresh, there is something for everyone and they have a great sauce bar where you can mix and match and get creative with the blend. I will never stop raving about this place!

I went here with a large party of 10 and has us promptly seated close to each other (the booths aren't large enough for more than six people). I like that the food came quickly. We ordered from an iPad, which was simple to navigate. Some items come via a robot! Note that the cost is on the pricey side, which I attribute to its location in Mosaic and its premium decor. If you're looking for hotpot and are nearby, then this is a good spot.

The happy hour deals are fantastic and offer great value for the quality of the food. The service was exceptional as well. Every time we finished a plate of meat, a staff member was already there asking what we'd like to order next, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The quality of the meat and broths was excellent, and everything else, from the tofu and fresh vegetables to the sauce bar, was well-stocked and tasted fresh. You can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for delicious hot pot, outstanding service, and great value. I'll definitely be coming back much sooner next time!

Best broth in the game. A true standout - so complex and savory, yet not stupidly salty like most…read morehot pot broths. As the name of this restaurant implies - the meats are the star of the show here. The self-serve veggie and noodle station leaves a bit to be desired - not the greatest selection - but sufficient for a hit of spinach or broccoli. I never see enoki mushrooms or crown daisy (Tong Ho) here - disappointing. Also, the floor gets unreasonably greasy to walk on about halfway through the day and stays that way for the rest of the night, so tread carefully! All of the meats on the standard AYCE menu are good/great quality. This is one of the only hot pots that does not require dipping sauce (even though I always concoct one anyways) because the broth is so permeating and flavorful. Best standard lamb I've ever had. Looking forward to trying the specialty lamb menu someday. So far it has been hard to resist the $21 midday weekday AYCE special, and the even better $17 "late night" AYCE special. This'll keep you coming back!

After many years of coming here, I still think this is the best hot pot spot around…read more The service is always incredibly kind and attentive, and the food comes out impressively fast. The meat quality is excellent, especially for all-you-can-eat. Just look at the marbling on the Kurobuta pork. Everything is sliced very thin, so it cooks almost instantly and reaches the perfect texture without becoming tough. I usually get the half original and half spicy broth. The original side is rich, savory, and comforting, while the spicy side has a deep, fragrant heat that builds without overpowering the flavor of the meat. The lamb skewers are also a must. They are fatty, spicy, tender, and almost melt in your mouth. They remind me of the lamb skewers from the street carts in New York. What impresses me most is how this place keeps improving. Years ago, they did not even offer all-you-can-eat. Now they have added AYCE hot pot, a self-service vegetable bar, and an AYCE skewer option, while somehow maintaining the same high quality of the meats and broth. Still my favorite hot pot restaurant after all these years.
