Have it another try and had a much better experience. The food was quick when you order from the tablet. There are a range of choices for $36pp on dinner/weekend menu. The place was clean and attracted many young people but also families for the shabu shabu experience. Food was fresh. If you don't want to order off the tablet they also during busy times have a conveyor belt of dishes. You can pull off and cook if you see something that you like most of the items on the conveyor about were vegetables or noodle items instead of meats and seafood.

Hot pot is always super fun for group dinners :) I had the split pot with the original and tom yum soups, both were delicious and gave all the toppings so much flavor. The staff were very attentive and quick to answer our questions. I also appreciated the sauce recipes at the sauce station, since a lot of times I don't know what I'm doing when I make my sauce lol. For dessert I had the cake, and it came with coconut frosting. It was surprisingly decent, considering I would never consider a hot pot place having cake for dessert. I'd definitely recommend Urban if you're looking for a fun group dinner experience and going for a walk afterwards in the Mosaic area.

Stopped here for lunch on the weekend. The amount of food you can order and eat in 90 mins makes this place worth the $35 cost for ACYE (all you can eat). We also came on the weekend so the premium option was included, but i believe you have to pay extra for that option on the week day. We just got a bunch of meat, veggies, meat, shrooms, meat, fish balls, and dare i say... more meat. There is a variety of soup base you can pick and a sauce bar where you can make your own dipping sauce. Service was quick and fast. We sat near the conveyer belt, which rotates a variety of items. But typically, you order what you want through the iPad and they bring it out to you super quickly. Sometimes they will use the robot as well to deliver some items. Definitely ate our fill. Place had plenty do tables and everyone gets their own mini hot pot so that was cute. This location was at the Mosaic so you can park along the street if you are lucky or find a spot in the garage. Place is worth checking out

So many dips and things to choose from! I go for lunch so it's a bit cheaper. They have lots of desserts, side dishes, meats, seafood, and carb to choose from. Perfect for a meal with friends or family. They also have really good crawfish!!! Service was quick especially when they used the cute robot to deliver some items !

This all you can eat hot pot is definitely a top favorite of mine in the area. The various broths are flavorful and they have a great sauce bar. The meat and veggie options are great and you order through an iPad which makes it very convenient. Staff and restaurant are also delightful, making it an enjoyable experience.

I've been here many times and it's a solid location. I wish they made use of the old conveyer belt more but I like their speed and iPad ordering system. The staff are always pleasant. I would like more fatty beef cuts. However, they have a great beef tongue, larger dumplings. A great sauce bar and fantastic sage desserts.

Oh my gosh I love this place. The food is all amazing and I love that it's all you can eat (well in 90 min) and is a good price. I don't think I've had anything bad there the few times I've gone with friends. I love that you can order from the tablet at the table when you want and that you can create your own sauces at their sauce bar. The staff is always really nice and the restaurant itself is cozy. Highly recommend.

Great food, quick service, nothing really to complain about. Everything was great. Meat was amazing. Did not feel rushed even going slightly over time.

I love eating hotpot and this spot is in my top 3. They are a more modernized take on hotpot with an all-you-can-eat personal hotpot rather than one big family style. Great sauce bar with a good amount of different options to make your own custom dipping sauce. Ordering is done on an iPad/tablet which makes it very convenient to order more items or call for service while you eat. If you are coming here really hungry during dinner time, make sure to put in a reservation. Even on weekdays they seem to be a bit busy. My only complaint would probably be on seating areas. Especially with larger parties the booth-like seatings are hard to get in and out of especially if you're seated against the wall. The two people seating is much more comfortable and there is a conveyor belt in the middle of the store circling out different menu items while you eat so you can just grab from your seat.

My favorite spot in NOVA for hot pot hands down. I always leave here satisfied by the food. It does get very busy during weekends/evenings and this place doesn't take reservations. So be prepared to wait. It's AYCE for $35/person for dinner. You order on the ipad and the food comes out quick! There's also a conveyor belt that has food items to grab. I love their sauce bar with lots of homemade or build your own concoctions. I also ALWAYS get the tom yum broth every time and it always hits. Service is hit or miss. You would most likely not have much interaction with staff bc everything is done through the ipad. They do come by often to clear plates though. I have noticed that portions are a lot less this last time i have visited. For example; i placed 2 orders of head on shrimps and a total of 3 shrimps came out... I understand the need to stop food waste but FYI.

We ordered their popular spicy noodles with ground pork, pork and chive dumplings, chicken soup dumplings, and cucumber salad. Everything was a solid 10/10! The flavors were fantastic, the food came out quickly, and the service was great throughout most of our visit. My only disappointment came toward the end of the evening. About 20 minutes before closing, our waiter approached us and told us they were closed. While I completely understand wanting to wrap things up at the end of a shift, the restaurant wasn't officially closed yet, and there were other tables still dining that didn't appear to receive the same message. It felt a little abrupt, and I think the situation could have been handled more tactfully. That said, the food was excellent, and I would absolutely return. Just a small service detail that took away from an otherwise wonderful dining experience!

Sadly, I found out even before ordering that its original owner Louis Cheng recently retired and sold the restaurant to new ownership. The food was so-so but it was definitely not as good as I remember - the boiled fish in was definitely different versus what it was previously. Instead of spicy and fragrant peppercorns in oil, it was a simple sauce and cornstarch, very little heat and pretty generic. The other dishes didn't have the fiery wok taste that they used to and it felt more like an average Chinese food restaurant versus one that's more authentically Szechuan. Not bad food by any means, but less spice and more generic. Maybe it's a decision by new management to make it more mass appealing, but I was sad that it was sold and doesn't feel like the same place.

The portions are incredibly generous, and every dish we tried was delicious. The drunken noodles were packed with flavor, the fried rice was perfectly cooked, the Tso's chicken was excellent, and the steamed fish was fresh and beautifully prepared. The highlight of the meal was the spectacular tableside Flambé dessert--it was both delicious and a fun experience. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The owners were also warm and welcoming, adding to the wonderful dining experience. And don't skip the beer--it was fantastic! Great food, generous portions, outstanding hospitality, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back.
