Interior decor is nice and unique. Restaurant is clean and quiet. Dine in menu is different from the ones shown on line. Was told that menu as shown on line for on line orders are no longer available!? Menu quality is poor and cheap looking! It is just a piece of paper and it is duplicated by copy machines! Prints are somewhat smeared and difficult to read! It does not match to its interior's expensive and fine decor! However, waiters are tentative. We were seated promptly as we arrival. Foods are tasty. Overall is good.

It's a big place. Not a lot of people even on a Friday night which could be good or bad depending on the reason. Cuisine seems authentic, individual per-person hot pot. You order individual raw ingredients for dipping into the boiling soup to cook them. A bit pricey since the soup base is $5-6, dipping sauce is $2-3, veggie is $5-6, meat seafood at $12-18. We spent $135 for 4 people including tax and tips but no drinks. Service seems slow considering it was a slow night. The wait staff seem eager but inexperienced which may be the reason for slowness.

The cost is unbelievably high: they charge tea and hot pot dipping sauce separately which is not common in most hotpot restaurant. The service is slow and inexperienced, but they charge us 18% service charge.

Food was OK, but service was terrible. It took forever to find a waiter/waitress. Our rice was not served until we asked when half finished. They didn't tell that the desert we ordered at the beginning was sold out until we asked after finishing everything else. Our hot pots would have been empty had we not actively sought to catch a waiter to add more soup. Can't really imagine how such a restaurant could survive.

Understaffed. Table for large group was uneven so dangerous when you are putting down hot pot
