Nice place and good service. The soup base was salty and with MSG that’s why it taste good. Other ingredients are all frozen food. I like fresh ingredients.

Like the idea of personal hot pot with the flame keeping my food hot. Their portions and selections are good. Lunch deal is great!

Two star location. The lack of business should of been a sign. The corner cutting tables should of been a sign. The poor seat quality should of been a sign. Let this be your sign not to ever step foot into this place for hotpot ever. The soup base is bland, the vegetables are pre-cooked, the cuttlefish is foul tasting and smelly. The lack of business in a great location downtown is the only sign I'll never miss again. Yelp told me this location was a "Hot New Spot" in their push notifications. What a let down. The 2 stars comes from the fact that the lunch special was a good value and the build the hop pot feature. Would of been a real killer idea. Just failed to execute on taste/ambiance/flavor.

Mediocre soups but they're good enough for a quick weeknight dinner. The portions are also large and stuffed with toppings. Meager meat portions though. Try the Taiwanese or Laksa and avoid the Korean and Seafood soups. I've only arrived later in the night and their service is good and fast during these times. No waiting for tables either. Don't bother with the milk teas but they sometime have promotions where you can get one for free.

Best kept secret in Alameda. For $11.95 you get hotpot with rice and ice cold sweet Jasmin tea for lunch. The post comes out already cooked with a small platform and fire to keep it warm. Flavors were good and the portion was very generous. I got 2 meals out of it.
