Their BBQ fish is much better and cheaper than any other BBQ fish places that I have been to in Toronto. If we visit London again, we will definitely give it a try their all-you-can-eat hot pot.

*4.5* stars This…read morerestaurant has a very unique taste and dishes that aren't really seen anywhere else in the KW region (not that I'm aware of at least!) I saw it on Ubereats and saw there was a BOGO going on so I ordered it. I was pleasantly surprised at the complexity and variety of dishes they had! If you crave Asian food, I definitely recommend this place. This place seems to primarily be for hotpot, but I can understand with covid it's harder to see that side right now. Nonetheless, they have many options outside their hotpot as well. I got the seafood with vermecilli noodles for my partner and a Mala spice with fish noodles for myself. The beef pho was a BOGO option so I got them for tomorrow's meal. (the BOGO list was quite limited). They were delicious and I found the portion sizing to be quite nice! The soup was very very flavorful and hits the spot. Again something that I haven't found in the KW area at all until now and would crave (since it can be found commonly back home in Toronto) Packaging, wait time and everything was fine. Why it's not a perfect score is because of its price point. It's a lot pricier than some other places. Their primary feature is hotpot and noodles. The hotpot options seemed fairly nice but there's also a few other hotpot places just around the corner too. With the noodles, you can get the same large portion (but different noodle type, same richness in broth though) for half the price that they set it at here. I personally see this place as somewhere I'd get ever so often, or special occasions only. For student prices, I'd probably look to go elsewhere. However, you can't deny how good their broth is, so it's not a big enough deal to knock off a star completely.

This is the best AYCE hot pot place in KW in my opinion. Even though the restaurant is slightly…read moreinconvenient, I always look forward to visiting. This is one of the rare late night grabs that is not fast food. Environment: Like I said, it is not the most convenient restaurant for students, but trust me, it is worth taking the trip. The restaurant does offer free parkings for those who drive. On the inside, the place looks like those traditionally looking Chinese restaurants. The ventilation is not the best, so wear something you don't mind getting dirty and getting smelly in. Food: AYCE hot pot. The price doesn't include lamb however, it costs extra. The beef, chicken, fried pastry 面筋 are my favorites. They make a lot of the ingredients themselves, so it's always fresh and they are super tasty. Their slushies are really good too and the portion is quite big. The price for hot pot includes tips and tax as long as you pay cash. Service: Yeah...this place is notorious for the bad attitude of the owner. He's manageable as long as you don't piss him offer. Don't mess with the heat setting and find someone who can speak Cantonese and you're good to go :P

Since I've been hearing about the hype for this place, I decided to try it on a Friday night with 3…read moreother friends. I would recommend coming here if you have 4+ people since the table does fit large groups. First, make sure you make reservations at 5 PM when the restaurant opens - they only allow reservations if it's 4+ people. When we arrived at the restaurant it is very busy and not a lot of parking spots so you'll most likely have to park on the street adjacent to the restaurant. Pros: This hot pot is Hong Kong style which just means it's mainly chicken broth and the ingredients are catered to Hong Kong taste but there are still the essential ingredients to a traditional hot pot. The price is amazing you really can't beat $26.50/person + taxes for anywhere within the GTA for AYCE. Cons: Unfortunately service is terrible. Since it's very busy in the restaurant the owner will give you a time limit which is about 1 hour and 15 minutes which I thought is sufficient time to eat but would differ for others. He literally was watching us to the second and the environment felt very rushed. I don't mean to question management, but there are limited tables at the back room and the front area (waiting area) has so much space where you could literally set up more tables.

Ordered chicken spring rolls and pork rice wraps, both delicious and the accompanying sauces were tasty. For dinner, a vermicelli bowl with BBQ pork, chicken Pad Thai and a traditional Pho with rare beef. The Pho broth was light but flavorful, the perfect serving size. Pad Thai was also very tasty. Vermicelli was decent, although the BBQ pork was not the favorite of our younger diners. Still a very good meal. Would certainly visit again!

Because it was lunch we were seated right away. You order via a tablet on the table and menu consists of all the expected ie. GamJaTang, bibimbaps, stews and rice dishes. Portions were generous and flavours were okay. The GamJaTang was not spicy at all despite being rated 2.5 chilis on the menu. We got 4 side dishes and were asked if we wanted a refill which was nice. Interior is nice. Lots of booths on one side and long family style wooden tables at the back. Good for large groups for drinking. 2 TV's were playing K-Pop on the wall.
