So thankful we have an authentic Chinese hot pot restaurant here in Michigan! My favorite hot pot broths are the house special spicy, house special (the white broth), mushroom, and seafood broth (sooo basically all of them lol), but definitely start with the house special spicy & white broth if you are new! Those are def my top two broths. All of their meat, seafood, and veg are really fresh. The wagyu beef is surprisingly good quality as well. I also like the self-serve sauce bar. It's nice that you can either do AYCE or pay per plate. Our server, Yan, is also so nice and sweet!! She works really hard and I love that she remembers us whenever we come (often lol). The restaurant itself is also super clean and I love the decorations in the front.

My family and I come here at least once a month for their hot pot. I'm obsessed with the enoki mushroom skewers. The service is quick and the food is always so delicious. I usually get the mild spice and two flavors for my pot. It's always busy with so many get togethers which is very cute to see. Highly recommend coming here for a hot pot experience!

Took a few friends for dinner the seating is plentiful and the set up to cook at your table is spot on. They offer all you can eat. We opted to share a few pots as we had first timers and did not need a large meal. The waitress went over the process to order and offered recommendations. The veggies were fresh the steak skewers were tasty the beef for the hot pot was a nice cut.

I came here with a group of 4 - this was a pretty big space that fits a lot of people inside. They've got a ton of variety here with the various meats and organs. The sauce bar was good - I was able to make a tasty peanut sauce. There was also a good variety of broths, but the Lao soup I got was kind of bland. Pricing is reasonable considering the amount of food you get (the meat came in big platters) The sesame balls we got for dessert were good: fresh out of the fryer, crunchy on the outside, with smooth red bean paste on the inside. Service was good, as our waitress came by several times and asked if we needed anything. I think this is a solid place for hotpot and I would definitely be open to coming back in the future!

I came here as part of a large group for dinner. One thing I enjoy about this restaurant is that they give you individual pots so if someone in your group doesn't like an ingredient or has a food restriction, it's a-ok. We got the all-you-can-eat dinner ($31.99). Do note that everyone in your table has to commit to this (to avoid food sharing as there's an a la carte menu). The food we ordered arrived quickly. The quality of the food was average. A lot of the ingredients came from the 168 supermarket nearby (the fish balls looked extremely familiar). It was easy to flag down the server to get more refills. I got the Lao Pot Special Soup base, which has opaque white broth with Chinese dates, goij berry, and green onion. It's pretty mild tasting, which is why I always doctor it up with the minced garlic and green onion from the sauce bar. The sauce bar was full of various condiments and had some recipes of their recommended sauce mixtures. I saw that they're going to have Korean BBQ soon. I would come back to try it!

Been here quite a few times since, consistent service and food quality. Spicy tallow is the way to go, my favorite out of all them now. Dining room is always clean, and I appreciate them constantly prebusing the table.

Fun place to sit with a small group and have a nice long chat over tasty hot pot cooked noms. Choose your broth and the add-ins you'll cook in your hot pot. All manner of meats, seafoods, and veggies await your selection. Can't choose just a few?--feeling extra hungry?--then opt for the AYCE "buffet." Staff will keep reloading your add-ins and broth until you're full. I love the little personal induction cookers, too--your pot gets hot, but you don't burn yourself on a hot stove. Full bar available with some fun drink specials. Staff were friendly.
