Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the service can be a bit slow during peak times, especially on busy weekends, and one needs to be proactive in alerting staff. While the cleanliness of the space is generally praised, a few feedback notes suggest improvements in wait times at busier hours. Certain guests have also expressed the desire for more vegetarian options in the hot pot offerings, specifically in the broth variety. Additionally, on busier nights, securing a table without reservations can be a challenge, leading to longer wait times. Overall, while experiences vary, the qualities of the food and atmosphere keep most patrons coming back.

First time having korean BBQ and the waitress was so lovely, welcoming and helpful showing me everything. I ate like a king with the all-you-can-out and was discovering new flavors every serve. Had to tap out after 6 services. 🥵

Delicious all you can eat hotpot. Had really good soup base options, would reccomend tom yum in particular. If you needed anything you will have to be proactive and call servers but when you do, they are very quick. Lots of good options from the all you can eat buffet as well!

Great food, was really fresh and yummy. I tried the tomato broth and the mushroom broth, both were great, next time I will try some of the spicy ones. The food selection is great and I tried most things, there was also a few fruits available for when you were done, really delicious. The place was clean as well as the bathrooms. I went when there was a discount, but even full price, it's really good value for money, so I'd definitely recommend going. We didn't book ahead and it was a friday evening, and got a place straight away, but as it is a smaller place, might be a good idea to book

All you can eat for only £23! 🍜 First time trying hotpot, the staff were very helpful in setting up. Proper authentic food with a range of choices of seafood, meats & veg. Loved the experience! 🙏

This restaurant is my favourite hotpot in the UK. The hotpot is only £23 per person with 2 hours to dine in. I consider that is a relatively cheap price and you get a variety of broths and food to select. Most ingredients are good but some seafood like crab and prawn are not that fresh but it is acceptable. They do not charge the service charge as it is a self service system that you bring cutlery/bowls to your table.

Had a delicious meal here by chance. Good was excellent - the cilantro beef was incredible. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Will definitively be back.
