The wait for the food and to order was long, over three hours for a large table. No reservations though. Drinks came quickly. Then ordered the apps. Apps showed up but still didn't take our main order. The grilled edamame was amazing. Well cooked and the flavor was amazing. It's the best edamame I've had. I didn't try the fried spinach but the reviews on that was also very positive. The egg drop soup was great. Lots of egg and spinach. And some black pepper to add some flavor. So tasty. The pad Thai was good. Solid dish. Tasty. I would return for the amazing food. Just plan for a wait or order quickly.

TLDR: Horrible experience. Do NOT go here unless you want to be treated extremely rudely, spoken to…read morelike you are dumb, be charged for to go boxes, and be forced a 15% tip that is NOT disclosed anywhere on the receipt, menu, or inside the restaurant. Hotpot was the most expensive thing on the menu being $60 which is already a very high price as is. The menu was confusing because it said you got 4 meats and 4 other toppings and then the section under had two types of soups for $6 extra. My friend and I were confused because we figured the steep $60 cost would include a soup and the two soups that were an upcharge were special. The server came to take our order we think is also the owner or the manager because she was giving instructions to the other workers. When the server came to take our order we asked the server about what the broth would be if we didn't want the upcharge broths and she immediately already had an attitude and talked to us like we were dumb. She said that we HAD to pick from the upcharge broths and basically insinuated that if we just paid $60 we'd be getting raw meat and no broth which doesn't make sense to me because why not just include the cost in the price ?? Before we could even place our order she just huffed and stormed away and left us confused. We tried waving her over several times and she'd just make eye contact and walk the other direction. Eventually she came back and we just sucked it up and ordered w the upcharge broths. When she took the menus from us she slammed them down on the pile of menus in the front which was off putting. She brought us our food but gave us a plate and chopsticks. We had to attempt to wave her over several times before she finally came over so we can ask for bowls and spoons. She brought over bowls and no spoons. And we had to attempt several more times before we could get spoons. Every time we called her over she had an attitude like we were bothering her and she borderline rolled her eyes at us every time we asked for something. She also never brought a ladle for the soup either but we didn't wanna deal with her attitude again so we sucked it up and used our small soup spoons to grab soup into our bowls. Our server never checked on us while we were eating and eventually dropped off the check. We asked for to go boxes and she again seemed annoyed. She originally brought one large soup cup and one box for the meats and toppings when did NOT fit at all. We asked for a second soup cup so we can separate the broths and a second box so we can separate the meat and veggies. she again had an attitude and sighed. Then grabbed our original large soup cup and brought back two tiny ones that barely held half the soup on either side of the hotpot. We had to call her over again to ask for a bigger soup cup or a larger one and she brought over another tiny one. When we asked for a bigger one she said "if you want more boxes it's an upcharge" which is crazy to me bc we already paid a steep price for the food and now you wanna charge us for to go when you purposefully gave us smaller boxes so our food won't fit?? My friend went up to the counter to pay and the lady auto charged him a $10 tip. He was confused because no where on the receipt, menu, or in the store did it say tip was auto gratuity. On the reciept it self it also only said "suggest tips" with the price of 15%, 20%, and 25% tips. He tried to ask her why there was an auto tip and she completely ignored him and started talking to another customer. When she was done with that customer he asked her about it and she was SUPER rude and said "if you wanna eat here you have to tip." He was not planning on not tipping he wanted to change the tip lower due to the horrible service and get clarification on where the tip was an auto tip. We would've been fine paying the tip if it was disclosed beforehand but nowhere did it say that. He again asked if he can change it and she had a major attitude so we decided to just leave. In terms of the food itself. It was not worth the $66 price. The meat was not even the right type of meat for hotpot. It was thick slices like you would use for chow fun which does not go well with hotpot at all. The broth itself was fine and standard hotpot broth. The food was not worth the price and you can make it much cheaper at home with bigger portions. Overall, horrible experience and I would never go back here and never recommend anyone to eat there due to the extremely rude service and condescending tone of the server/owner.

I'll be honest the service can be abrupt but moving here from NYC I'm used to restaurants where the…read morefood is fantastic and service is not. BUT the FOOD!! The food is so incredible! Everything I've had has always been perfectly seasoned. I don't really mind the service and I just hope they never move away. This is not a fancy restaurant but the location is convenient and the food is phenomenal. I've personally been to this restaurant over 10 times and I try to order 1-2 new dishes I haven't tried each visit. I haven't tried the more Chinese American style dishes. I don't read Chinese and just try the authentic dishes with sometimes confusing English names. So hopefully these recommendations can help someone who wants to try really high quality, authentic Chinese food. Top two dishes for me: The spicy and crispy chicken are bits of golden crisp fried goodness sautéed with fermented black beans (dou si), chili peppers and Szechuan peppercorns. Tongue numbing and very pleasant spice level (I don't eat super spicy foods). Umami is through the roof. Sliced fish with salted mustard cabbage (generous chunks of boneless fish in a savory and tangy broth with pickled mustard greens, pickled garlic and pickled peppers -perfect for cold day but I can eat this all year round). Additional favorites: Fish slices and tofu in spicy sauce (deep fried fish chunks and silken tofu in mildly spicy Szechuan peppercorn 'mala' -numbing spicy sauce). Fatty beef in pickled sauce (it's actually a soup with thinly sliced tender beef, pickled mustard greens lightly tomato flavored broth) Cumin lamb/beef -both are super tender and flavorful Sliced Pork in garlic sauce (thin strips of stir fried pork w wood ear mushrooms in a very tasty and fragrant sauce) Sichuan style cucumbers (refreshing pickled cucumbers) Spicy green beans -perfectly cooked

A Mixed Bag at Mochi Mochi in Columbia…read more My recent visit to Mochi Mochi in Columbia, Missouri, offered a blend of experiences. The vibes were okay, complemented by some decent art inside the establishment. Ordering options were convenient, allowing customers to choose between using a kiosk or interacting with the cashier. Navigating the menu, which includes teas, smoothies, and customizable sugar levels, presented a unique challenge. Determining the ideal sugar amount can be tricky, adding a layer of complexity to the ordering process. The chicken wings, while well-cooked, fell short of expectations. Despite ordering a specific style, they arrived fried with the sauce on the side. Tossing them myself was not the anticipated experience, and the sauce struggled to adhere to the wings. On a brighter note, the Mochi Mochi donuts stood out, offering a delightful variety of flavors. The different types of donuts were a highlight of the visit. Parking, fortunately, was hassle-free with a accessible parking lot available to everyone. While the experience had its ups and downs, Mochi Mochi provides an intriguing spot for those seeking a diverse range of treats and beverages. All in all, I'd maybe go back but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

I paid $43, after tip. Got a receipt. 10 mins later, the same girl is coming up to me, asking me to pay. I told her that I already paid and she tries to argue with me that I need to pay again. Why argue? I have a receipt. She said it would be about 15-20 mins, at 45 mins, I asked again how long it would be. She said it would be an additional 15 mins. So an hour total I am waiting. The restaurant is not busy, So unacceptable. Do not go here unless you want to be told to pay twice. Food was mid.

The interior is spacious with plenty of seating, and the two staff members on duty were friendly and quick with service. I ordered the 12-piece bone-in wing combo--half Nashville Hot dry rub, half Honey Hot--paired with Cajun fries and a drink. Since I don't drink soda, I opted for pineapple juice. As the only customer in the restaurant at the time, my order was ready in just 5-6 minutes, which was impressively fast. The food came out piping hot and freshly made. The Cajun fries were well-seasoned and delicious, and the wings were extra crispy with great flavor. While I would've preferred a bit more sauce or seasoning on the wings, the overall quality still stood out. This spot is definitely one I'll be returning to, and next time, I'll be sure to request extra sauce. A solid experience worth revisiting.

You get 1 large serving tray of each of the ethnic categories they offer (3 Asian, 3 American, 3 Mediterranean). We got the following dishes with my personal reviews of each I tried ranked 1-5. 1 being acceptable and 5 being knock your socks off good. Pad Thai: (5) Amazing, add hot sauce to really get the full effects! Do not skip this one if you like authentic Thai dishes! Penne Rosa: (3) The meatballs are way above average. The rest OK. Pesto Cavatappi: (4) Rotini noodles with a strong and tastey pesto sauce, sprinkled with parma cheese and parsley for bonus points! Delish! Bangkok Curry: (3) Very good period! Punch in the mouth taste unlike most other dishes you get elsewhere. Wisconsin Mac & Cheese: (3) Mac & Cheese on steroids. Bacon and veggie topping kicks it up a notch besides the 3 cheese blend they already use to make it great! Mushroom Stroganoff: (3) This one will take the dish you dispised in middle school at the cafeteria and blast it up to your top 10 fav list within a few bites. Whole Grain Tuscan Linguini: (2) By itself its fairly bland and flavorless. The chicken they serve it with makes up for lost taste. Adding salt and pepper alone helped big time. Japanese Pan Noodles: (4) A truly Asian dish with all the right balance, flavor, kick and synergy of ingredients you would expect in a genuine Asian style dish. Caramalized udon noodles rock! Did not get to try these....too full! My loss! Buttered Noodles Pasta Fresca Indonesian Peanut Saute Staff waitress we had was very helpful with everything we needed.
