Not in the greatest of neighborhoods or streets, but, wow, the food was surprisingly solid here. My friends usually just ordered the hotpot for takeout, but today, it was my family who decided to come out and eat for once. Service was okay to subpar. The staff was attentive to come back k and check up on us frequently enough, but with a notice to sell more dishes. We were asked to try all sorts of dishes that other tables were ordering. I succumbed to getting a plate of fried pork cheek. It was good, but it left us too full to finish the rest of the items we did order ourselves. The store seemed small and outdated. We were surprised they have bidets in both the men and women's bathroom. Different in both rooms, but no the less, not your typical toilet.

Service was great, very attentive and quick. The people were very nice. It was very causal and felt very family oriented. The food was good, but not quite my cup of tea. The hot pot we ate had great selection and variety , seafood was good. However I prefer my soup to be more salty and sour, not as sweet . My friends all loved it, just not my preference

Hot pot is perfect for rainy days! We got the Thai spicy hot pot (m) for two people. There were plenty of food to shade! The soup is extremely flavorful and bold. The pricing is amazon for the amount of food you get. We also go the sugarcane juice, it was really refreshing. The service was great, they were attentive and helpful. Their menu is extensive! I was getting indecisive looking at all the options. This is a hole in the wall type or restaurant located in this small plaza, the food is amazing.

Came by on a Saturday dinner around 7pm. The parking lot is pretty small. The GPS is confusing and will take you to the street right by the restaurant. The restaurants itself is homey. We were seated immediately. We ordered the shrimp cupcakes, tamarind beef, and the sweet and sour Chilean sea bass hot pot (medium for 3-4 people). They are very efficient. The beef came out first. It cooks quick on a burner at the table. The beef comes with crackers and watercress. The booth was a little small so the server was quick to clear the tamarind beef set up as soon as we were done. Shrimp cupcakes (not pictured) were my favorite dish of the night. It seems to be very popular because every other table around us also ordered that. The shrimp cupcakes can be eaten with lettuce as a wrap. I felt very healthy eating the hot pot. There's a lot of vegetables. Elephant tarp, celery and celery tops, and bean sprouts. The taste was very good too! The sweet and sourness came from the pineapples and tomatoes in the broth. We got a side of yellow noodles with the hot pot. The broth adds a lot of flavor to the noodles and some warmth. Yum! We were tempted to order another hot pot but all of this food left three people very full. The total came out to around $90. I see why this place is so popular. Glad we went.

Always one of my favorite spots to go for Vietnamese style hot pot! Very comforting for a cold day and their spicy thai seafood pot comes with a delicious soup base!!! 38. Spicy Thai Seafood Hot Pot: 5/5 Got a medium size that usually serves 3-4 but it was perfect size for our table of 2 since their portions are a bit small. Soup was so delicious, but sweet and hint of spicy, perfect for me since I can't eat spicy like that. It came with a mix of seafood: clam, mussels, scallop, shrimp, fish balls, tofu, mushrooms, and a side of greens and noodle! This place has tasty food, affordable pricing, and friendly service, can't really ask for anything more. Come check this place out, I definitely recommend!
