Thank you so much for persisting in reopening after the lock down.
Long time customer, will continue to come until I can't no more.
I had a great time at their dinner hotpot buffet. I love how you get individual hotpots with a choice of two different soups. I was pleasantly surprised by the 2 bonus abalone each person could get. The range of items available for the hotpot is huge. You’ll find all the usual suspects plus more. Some of the items aren’t of the best quality, eg seafood, but I’m happy to sacrifice quality for variety in this case. There’s a whole table dedicated to sauces - I couldn’t have asked for more flavour combinations.
The hot food buffet is however very uninteresting and the food is bland and over-cooked. But that’s okay when you’re not really here for that anyway. There’s “all-you-can-eat crayfish” but it tasted so unappetizing I didn’t bother eating more than one. Desserts are insipid, all except for a durian mousse cake which was surprisingly delicious. Thankfully there was also some good fresh fruit.
This is a good place to enjoy a Sichuan/Cantonese style dishes. Although compared to other Chinese restaurant it is a bit pricy, Its luxury decoration and delicious food will definitely make you a different night. I have been to this restaurant couple times and I would say this is one of my recommend Chinese restaurant.
Recommended dish: Shredded Pork with Garlic Source, Fish Fillets in Hot Chilli Oil, Sea Food and Buffet Hot Pot (This is seperate with ordinary dish ordering)
It needs to be mentioned that the Buffet Hot Pot has wide range of food chooses including entree, fried rice, sea food, meat, veggies and deserts.
Came here for the hot pot buffet.
Thought it was okay. There is a selection of hot pre-cooked foods as well as your usual uncooked fare. This was probably the difference between other hot pot buffets that don't typically include hot foods.
The hot pot options was decent, however.. nothing special.
The dessert bar was impressive though and we enjoyed the selection that was offered. (Most of them was yum!)
Would revisit this place if we were in the area but wouldn't make an effort to come here.
Hotpot buffet ($26.80)
⭐️ 3.5/5 ⭐️
🍴Hotpot buffet at a reasonable price of $26.80 for weekday lunch/ $29.80 for weekend lunch. It comes with individual choice of up to 2 soup bases, plus 2 pieces of abalone/ beer/ plum juice. The #abalone was a bit tough & flavorless so maybe getting a drink would be a better option. We liked that there was a good variety of items, both cooked and for the hotpot, along with a sauce station, desserts & fruits. The spread also included various dim sum and dumplings and we all liked the #xiaolongbao. There are spicy and non spicy soup options and while they weren’t the most flavorful, it was still enjoyable. The quality of meat was also not the best but decent for the price of this buffet. Overall, would say it’s a good place to go if you’re missing hotpot/ Chinese food without having to make a hole in your wallet!

Great food. Great atmosphere, was truly a delight. Hotpot was fantastic. A selection of one or two broths for each person. Variety was exceptional. Food was replenished with great speed. Responsive and attentive waitresses. Customer service top notch.

Very impressed of the selection for buffet AYCE hot pot. I had half Mushroom Soup and half Tasty Soup (which is just a vegetable soup) and added XO paste for extra flavour.
Pricing is a bit steep but service was pretty good.
Good environment, friendly staff and plenty of choices. I had a combination of the main menu and yum cha and enjoyed them both. The location is awesome also. Well, must say that everything I had here was so good from the food down to the service it was so lit! Definitely, recommend this spot to anyone who loves to try amazing food and exceptional service.
Good environment, friendly staff, plenty of choices, hotpot is okay, priced for roughly $45 per person, children under 3 are free, drinks are extra
