    All you can eat Hot pot, unlimited box drinks. Be careful of the seafood/shellfish options. Friends and I had stomach problems the whole next day.

    Quicker service and better quality than other unlimited hot pot spots in Chinatown. Medium spicy beef broth is the perfect amount of spiciness. Get multiple orders of fish fillet and enoki mushroom.

    Spicy broth too spicy. Get the beef broth & the herb broth (ginseng/dates/cabbage). Toppings: beef, spinach, bokchoy, fried & fried tofu, Hk fishball & shrimp balls. Sauces: sesame, hot oil w/ garlic.

    My first time experiencing hot pot, and I'm so glad it was here. Absolutely delicious. I can't stop raving about it!

    More $$ than other hotpot places but includes free ice cream and asian soda/juices. Spicy broth is super spicy, even on medium. Suggest mild unless you want to burn ur taste buds off

    The beef broth were bland, but the spicy beef was seriously spicy! Even when you ordered mild. But the ingredients were fresh and delicious! Plus you get to make your own sauce.

    This place is amazing, especially after they moved. Definitely come here if you at all like hot pot. Try coming at or slightly before 6 to avoid the rush.

    $30 all you can eat, self serve sides and ice cream for dessert. Pretty amazing, get the kimchi broth if you're up for spicy!

    $31 AYCE hotpot (compared to $22 at 99 Favor Taste) but you get unlimited non alcoholic drinks and ice cream. Soup base: spicy butter beef is good but VERY spicy, herb with pork was not for me

    Beef is usually satisfyingly fatty. Lamb is sometimes too lean. Fatty pork is a good indulgence. Mushroom is shiitake while Fresh Mushroom is Cremini. Avoid seaweed knots, as they're fishy.

    Overpriced unless you’re overeating. And it’s the only place I’ve been where the server tells you that other guests are waiting for your table before you’ve even finished eating. Won’t be coming back.

    For a fixed price you get over an hour of all you can eat hot pot with strong broths and plenty of dipping options. Be careful: the spicy broth isn't joking.

    All you can eat hot pot (includes ice cream, too!). Tons of tasty options- but beware extremely spicy broth!

    Free drinks from the mini fridge! This is something you won't find at any other hot pot spot.

    All you can eat for 2 hours! Lamb and the white fish balls is s must. Careful, their spice level starts off pretty high.

    Even if you're used to eating spicy food, the "medium" spicy hot pot is very, very spicy. Pick out some of the red peppers.

    Fixed price hot pot, good for Manhattan. The spicy broth is hellishly hot.

    Not good for large parties. It was a tight squeeze for 5 of us. The waitress is so sweet. She helped my kid choose his dessert from the fridge and brought him a spoon when he forgot to take one.

    All you can eat for $29, you can't beat it. The wait can be long though.

    Waits here for Saturday nights can take up to 2 hours. But the food is worth it.

    Taiwanese food. Appetizer + rice makes a nice lunch. Dried bean curd is similar to beef stomach, don't order both; but either goes well with the spicy intestines.

    Wouldn’t order spicy broths beyond mild and even that level isn’t for the faint of heart. Better off with non spicy broth and making a spicy dipping sauce.
