Affordable All-You-Can-Eat Hot Pot
My experience at this restaurant was pretty good. It's an all-you-can-eat hot pot place in SF where the food is decent and the lunch price is $25. 99.
I always go here for hot pot because it is pretty affordable.

Delicious Food, Service Needs Improvement
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was incredibly good; I tried almost every type of beef, and all were delicious. The chicken also tasted great.
My favorite was the fatty beef, which was tender, fresh, and soft. For AYCE (All You Can Eat), the price of $26 per person felt worth it, though be aware of the additional 8. 63% tax and a 15% service charge fee.
They also offer fresh foods and good ice cream, with vanilla and matcha being my favorites. While I was satisfied with the food, I was not satisfied with the service. The Chinese boy who served me seemed very impatient and difficult to communicate with.
When I asked questions, he seemed to want me to rush my order. We didn't communicate well or frequently, and the 15% unavoidable service fee felt quite a lot for the provided service.

Great Value Hotpot, Spartan Setting
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially considering the incredible value. It's an SF gem and the last remaining all-you-can-drink AND all-you-can-eat hotpot place for just $35/person. The portions were generous and the service was great.
Unfortunately, they don't do karaoke anymore. The only downside is the relatively spartan interior; it can get a little cold inside and the seating could be more comfortable.

Amazing Halloween Dinner Experience!
We came here for a late dinner after trick-or-treating on Halloween night with 5 kids. We all had an amazing experience! We will definitely come back again.

Best Hotpot in Town!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the city for hotpot; this place is simply the best! The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was perfect, both rated a 5 out of 5.
The service also received a perfect score of 5. It's a great spot for lunch, with a price range of $20–30 per person.

Authentic Hot Pot Experience
As a Vancouver native, I can confidently say this is what true hot pot is like. The king oyster mushrooms were sliced thinly to perfection, and the bean curd roll offerings were generous. We appreciated the abundance of the leafy part of napa cabbages.
When we needed more items, we simply waved down the waiters instead of writing them down. The best part? The unlimited free drinks and chicken feet!

Great Hot Pot Experience for Groups!
This restaurant is perfect for a large group. We were a party of 10 and made a reservation for 5: 45 on a Thursday night. We enjoyed three bowls of soup: one spicy, one mild, and one half and half.
We initially thought the half and half was a midpoint in spiciness, but it turned out to be a pot with both spicy and mild broth, which was a pleasant surprise. Next time, we'd opt for three of the half and half. It was easiest for one person to handle all the ordering, and we received a generous spread of meats, noodles, and veggies.
We were pleased with how quickly everything came out and the broth was hot enough to start cooking in no time. Definitely make sure you order the sesame balls! A thoughtful touch from the staff was providing an apron to a member of our group who was wearing white, preventing any stains on their shirt.
The self-serve drink fridge, variety of sauces, and self-serve ice cream were all great additions. The all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink for $45 each ensured we all left super full. One important note is that they have moved locations, so photos of the old red room space are outdated.
Ensure you navigate to the new location!

Best Hotpot Value in Town!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's hands down the best hotpot in town, offering excellent value for money. The appetizers were good, and the broths were fire.
Everything tasted incredibly fresh. They have two locations, and this one offers a more laid-back atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the walnut shrimp and the green onion pancakes.
