    I wrote the initial yelp review on this place back in September and I had a lot of complaints. Went back today and I was pleased to see that the growing pains demonstrated back in September have worked out for the positive. My Son and I were there Sunday early afternoon to celebrate the US Men winning olympic gold in hockey earlier that morning and had an excellent experience. The food and service was EXCELLENT. We throughly enjoyed the experience. It's been 6 months since our last visit, it won't be nearly that long before we return. We had a great time. My only negative comment, the appetizer/ sauce bar that I was critical of in September hasn't changed . Management really needs to change that set up. It's just not hygienic, when you lean over the get a plate or bowl stored under that bar, your face is inches away from the unprotected buckets of sauce, it's not a good set up and needs to be changed. It's not like fixing this set up would cost a lot of money to fix and it really should be changed immediately.

    I visited this establishment last night to give it a try. At first impression, the interior looked inviting with the recent renovations creating a nice atmosphere. However, it did take some time before our waitress came over to take our drink order. I think they are a bit understaffed since they opened and it does look like they still may be hiring. The menu is divided into two options: Korean BBQ or Hot Pot. I think it would be helpful if the menu included clearer instructions on how the ordering system works, as it wasn't explained until I asked. We chose the Hot Pot, but unfortunately, the experience was a bit underwhelming. Although I did like the meat options and how well the hot pot cooked, the broth I ordered lacked flavor. I would rate the food about a 5/10.

    My son and I had lunch there today and our server was Srey. It was honestly some of the best Asian food I have ever had and the experience of making it ourselves was so cool. This is the type of restaurant that should be showcased by " Buns and Bites" or similar local influencers. The food was fresh and delicious, Srey had such a great energy with all of the customers, and I will honestly o again. I wish there was a location in Wakefield or South County Commons I feel it would be a hit.

    Table booths with built-in heaters for individual hot pots and a central grill for Korean barbecue

    Not bad hot pot place. The booths are set up for four with built-in individual heaters for hot pots and a central grill for Korean barbecue; you can do one or the other or even both! (Though what do you do if you're a party of 5, I don't know ... guess someone eats by himself!). The broth choices are pretty good and if you're vegetarian, they'll make one up for you that's also quite tasty. You select items from an à la carte menu - 2 meats, 2 sides, 2 seafoods, 2 soy/tofu, 2 starches, and 3 veggies - and then can reorder as many more items as you wish (but there's a 2-hour limit) for your table. The hot pot items are okay; we found some of the vegetables a little less than fresh (e.g. limp Napa cabbage) and some of the meats a little tough (beef tongue was sliced too thick), but there were some tasty items like the lobster balls. The condiment table was a bit limited in sauce types - definitely missed the goma dare sesame sauce - and the soy sauce had a strange sweetness to it. Appetizers were fried egg rolls, chicken wings, fried wontons, French fries (kinda strange option to me) - and steamed blue crabs! Again, not a bad hot pot place but there are better ones out there for the money.

I saw "Soukie's Secret Sauce" in another Yelp review and made my own version without the bean curd or sugar. It was a great starting point, and mixing a sauce is part of the fun. I've eaten hot pot in several countries, and each place does things a little differently. If this is your first visit, ask plenty of questions so you can settle in and enjoy the experience. The gender neutral restrooms have always been immaculate when I've visited. On this particular night, the restroom on the right was out of paper towels. I let the staff know, and they took care of it. That kind of attention adds to an already enjoyable meal. I'd gladly come back.

When it comes to the food, it's hard to fully judge because of our experience with the service. The food I did try was pretty good, the meats were fresh, and some of the sides that came with them were really tasty. I mainly got full on the unlimited appetizers, which I really liked. Due to our service we didn't get a lot of items we truly wanted. Location: This location has a modern look with some nice traditional touches. It felt spacious, and we were seated in an area for larger groups. It's definitely a casual place that's good for families and get togethers. They do have private free parking. Service: The service is the reason I'm giving this place three stars. We were a party of 12 and divided by two tables of 6. We had two servers assigned to us. The women waitress was very friendly, but the older male waiter made the experience unpleasant. The process wasn't explained when we arrived, and we were supposed to circle the meats we wanted on a paper. However, he only asked one person at our table of 6 what they wanted, took the paper away before the rest of us could order, and told him he would bring the food which btw my friend only circled two items the guy rushed him and said "is ok I bring". About 10 minutes later, a cart full of meats that none of us ordered was brought to our table. When we asked for the items we actually wanted, he told us we had to eat what was already had the cart before he would bring anything else. I explained that nobody at our table had ordered those meats, but instead of acknowledging the mistake, he blamed the girl waitress, I don't think he realized I was watching him the whole time. I told the girl Waitress idk why he's trying to find who to blame when it was him. Thankfully, she was very accommodating and made sure we received the items we had originally wanted. 20% automatic charge due to the size of the group which I do feel like it's fair if the service was to par, but unfortunately it wasn't and we still paid that. Truthfully, I wouldn't come back. There are so many new hot pot restaurants in the area that I'd rather try. After reading other reviews, I noticed this seems to be a common experience.

The place was surprisingly not busy so we were seated right away. The waitress was super attentive and patient with us. Many of their beverages are served with and without liquor so ensure when ordering you specify which is your preference. The place can hold a decent amount of people but for a Saturday night, other than our party, there was 2 other couples and a family there. The menu can definitely be overwhelming with all the various options. We ordered the crispy pork pik pow and crispy pad thai with crispy chicken for our food. We also had the spicy pineapple margarita and lychee mojito with liquor. Over all the lychee mojito was our favorite. Both entrees were delicious, crunchy, and hot upon arrival. If ordering the crispy pad thai, I'd recommend to not get it with the crispy chicken. It felt like I was eating potato chips and I had wayyyy too much crunch. The taste of all the dishes though were delicious and I would definitely recommend stopping by this spot. We will be back to try the other dishes available!

The side items, which are a la carte, that we decided to order were the bok choy, watercress, oyster mushroom, mushroom fish ball, pork belly. There are a good selection of a la carte items, and everything came fresh and prepared beautifully. The service was fast and friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I am looking forward to coming back and trying their other options!

We ordered beef & chicken bulgogi, pork belly, and shrimp throughout our time there. It's fun to cook it over the tabletop grill. We did not opt for the hotpot. There is a buffet-style area with salad, sauces and lots of bonchon. Hubby spent a year in Korea and said the kimchi here tastes like he remembered it tasting in Korea. They serve mild kimchi so don't be afraid to try it. I love their daikon radish and spicy cucumbers, especially when eating with beef bulgogi. The kimchi hits right with bulgogi as well.
