a newly discovered gem. all you can eat hot pot includes the fixings, ice cream , and beverages. come hungry... its so filling!

Julie Chau

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.

Joan Park

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 .

Grace S.

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 .

Skye Mitchell

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

Angeline Bryant

The best hot pot place in my opinion....and I eat too much hot pot . Such a fun place for groups. Honey lemonade is delist!

Mai Ta

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.

Christina Chin

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

Han Yu

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.

Caroline

$29 all-you-can-eat hot pot with unlimited different flavored ice cream and various drinks for 2 hours

Mo Goodman

You will leave smelling like hot pot , and it will linger for hours. Hot pot was great, get spicy !

Valerie S

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

Serious Eats

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.

Allen Yang

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.

Lauren Mac

$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 !

Brian S

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.

Eileen

$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

Jessica Lee

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

Jean Tran

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

Kathryn Yu

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 .

Alissen Williams

Prices have gone up....it's $29.99 for all you can eat and they now have a liquor license...so no more byob !

Eric Wagner

The Fujianese style fish balls have meat in them and are delicious.

Alexa Scordato

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 .

Serious Eats

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

Andrew Furman

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

Mabel Chung

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.

Kate Furman

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

Ashley Chen

Make sure you wear clothes you aren't afraid of stinking like hotpot

Vicky Chou

Get the tea jelly drink!!!

Dr Gecko

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.

Shang Xiang

Best for groups under 6

Jenny Cui

This place is my go to if I can't get into 99 favor tastes . Smaller selection, but better quality.

Angela Isabel

Come early if you don't have a reservation !

Sean Li

Unlimited drinks ftw, grab a diet soda for pregame when you leave

Tasty, delicious 'n quick Taiwanese style bubble tea. Things tend to sell out by the end of the night. During summer I like the unsweetened green tea (iced) with tapioca - subtly sweet and refreshing. - Amy Graff
