Visited for a meal last night and received great service from Neila. She was really sweet and funny. She took great care of us and gave us great recommendations. The food was nice, and the portions were filling. The vibe was perfect with the live music. Will definitely be back again.

A popular restaurant, our 1st time as a family trying hotpot, where you have a hot broth in the middle of the table and order platters of meat & veg to cook in it. Very fun as a family activity and great place to bring picky teenagers. Staff checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed or if we wanted to order more. There is a strong smell of lamb throughout the restaurant that took 2 days to air out of my jacket, also the floor was wet by the end of the evening from the steam from all the hotpots, even though the staff was doing its best to mitigate, so take care when walking.
