Food: Over the past few years, I believe the quality has decreased and unfortuntely it's not as good as it was before.
The crab rangoons were rather stale with a hint of crunch but it felt like it was re-fried.
The lo-mein is rather simple, but it was okay, just a bit dry, maybe even flavorless.
I did ask for sauce on the side and none was left in my bag.
The hot pot is their main catch which again, I feel that thier broth has either loss the quality due to vendor or management change.
There are plenty of topping to choose from but again even this tends to be incosistent with quality as some veggies are wilterd or smaller.
The meats have premium options and extra charge which can drive away others from trying more. Service: The staff is overall nice, I never had an issue with them.
They just mind thier business if anything. Ambiance: It's rather spacious with plenty of seating for hot pot, with a small bar attached, Location accommodation: They have a shared small lot to the right of the resturant that can fit up to 5 cars but you can park in the TD bank lot and walk towards the resturant.

Owner response

I’ve been in this place in 2017.
It was good but not anymore.
There’s not a lot of beef options and once you want to get good ones you need to pay extra.
The service was not great either.
you have to wait for the servers to show up and take your order which will take time. I do not recommend this place!

AYCE hotpot dinner offers snow crab legs AND salmon as part of the menu.
Great sauce station and lots of variety of hotpot items from beef tongue to iced tofu to watercress. I was very impressed with the seafood selection (flounder filet, frozen scallops, clams, PEELED SHRIMP, etc.) since most AYCE hot pots that I’m used to only offer the “basics” such as shrimp, frozen mussels, fish balls, and imitation crab. If you like spice, go for the extra spicy mala broth.
Start with one fewer serving than you think you will eat since the portion sizes are slightly arbitrary, but that’s not a big issue at all - being mindful to not waste food never hurts! Service and attention to their patrons was unmatched.
Water was always refilled, napkins freely given in stacks without being asked.
A huge thank you to our server Andy for a fantastic experience! Can’t wait to come back.
