Woo, no more drive to San Mateo! Don't let the look fool you. The inside is nice and clean. Portions are huge so make sure to start off with a few items. And get the half and half soup!
2 bowls, 4 people/2 bowls, 6 people. Anything more or less isn't ideal. You can call to make a reservation for parties of 6 or more.
_May 17, 2015Asian people everywhere - all the way downstairs to the entrance because it's that busy. Friendly service and meat is not bad. Just needed a place to watch the game.
- Best place for hotpot in the greater downtown area by far. Nothing is quite like the spicy broth. Bring spicy loving friends and get only the spicy broth!
Annie 🌺 JalotaAugust 4, 2018They even have vegetarian option! Let it boil for a bit, the flavor deepens. Good for the price!
Stefan GlueckJanuary 9, 2019Definitely go for the hot pot. And avoid to eat those spicy ingredients. There are there for the flavor. Its just great
Sofia FigueroaJanuary 14, 2016Get the spicy broth and make sure you order a side of sauces (garlic, sesame paste, chili oil, special sauce)
RachelDecember 21, 2019Solid and reliable hot pot but the lines to get in are out of control. Joining the waitlist on Yelp doesn’t help much - you can still expect to spend 2 hours or more hanging out in the stairwell.
Huyen TranDecember 10, 2014The meat portions are on the small side but great place for a sit down lunch. Also, not crowded.
Michelle GoebelSeptember 14, 2023The broth and the lamb are the very best! The portion is very generous!
Megan MastersDecember 12, 2017As a spice fan, my spicy broth was impossible to eat. The server questioned my strength when telling me to remove (5 small bowls of!!) the red peppers from the soup. Terrible hot pot experience.
The quail eggs are canned quail eggs. Not that bad but not as good as dropping a raw one in and getting a poached egg.
Always a line here. If you like spicy food, this is a good place.
- Lynne 🐰 QuAugust 2, 2018Not recommended. Plain soup base cost you 4.25 per person. Very sneaky. Most of the items are 4, 5 bucks for small quantities. More expensive than others.
Rob AffleckSeptember 20, 2014Waiters rude and orders do not come after 1hr of repeated reminders! Hot soup fail!
