- foodAs visitors to the city, my friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant and had a satisfactory overall experience. The service was prompt, and the food was good, although some pieces of meat were discolored. We enjoyed the miso and beef broths, and the overall taste was good.
- hot potAbsolutely do not skip the cocktails created by the owner, he clearly loves what he does and everything is delicious and unique! We always get the hot pot, and always end up scraping the bottom of the pot with our spoons to get the last drop of the broth. The a la carte items you can order to cook in the broth have always been fresh, I've never had wilted bok choy or funky meats.
- cocktailsMy partner and I's favorite spot for date night! Absolutely do not skip the cocktails created by the owner, he clearly loves what he does and everything is delicious and unique! We always get the hot pot, and always end up scraping the bottom of the pot with our spoons to get the last drop of the broth.
- drinksThe sesame pork and enoki belly rolls were particularly tender and flavorful. The drinks were also well made! The atmosphere was rated a 4, suggesting it was generally pleasant despite the space constraints.
- menupleasantly surprised at the menu here. All stuff I'd never tried before, and all great!
- ingredientsWe absolutely love it! It's one of the few places that consistently offers high quality fresh, healthy ingredients, delicious interesting food, and a great atmosphere with excellent cocktails. We even bring our child, and she loves it as well.
- brothsThe indoor seating featured dividers between tables, creating a very private and cozy atmosphere due to COVID precautions. I particularly enjoyed the monfire sauce, which had the perfect level of spice to complement the broths.
- appetizersAuthentic Thai hot-pot and appetizers
- brothThe broth is spot on at this place.
- everythingeverything here is really good!
Frequently criticized
- foodMy birthday experience at this restaurant was the worst ever. I had reserved it for a birthday party, and despite spending up to $55 per person, we were still hungry. During our meal, we had to wait 20 minutes for a waiter to even approach our table.
- meatsdisappointed in the meats. The cut of meats are way too thick
- Chinese Hot Potit's clearly Chinese Hot Pot with an identity crisis
- beef brothI liked the herbal broth the most; it starts off with a lighter flavor that deepens the more ingredients you add. The beef broth was very sweet and not my favorite, but was a good change from the herbal broth every now and then. The Tom yum was tasty, spiced, and sour, but I quickly got tired of the flavor after just a spoonful.
- flavor of the broththe flavor of the broth is just bad… bland and weird
- food portionportion of the food is so tiny
- meatAs visitors to the city, my friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant and had a satisfactory overall experience. The service was prompt, and the food was good, although some pieces of meat were discolored. We enjoyed the miso and beef broths, and the overall taste was good.
- portion sizeThe portion is extremely small
- portion sizesthe amount of food you get is pitiful
- soy saucethere was no soy sauce(?)
If you're looking for a delicious and fresh hot pot experience with plenty of broth options, this spot is definitely worth trying. Just be mindful that a few diners have mentioned portion sizes can be on the smaller side and meat quality can vary.

Amazing Stop in Seattle!
My experience at this restaurant was an amazing stop during my visit to Seattle. The atmosphere was great, with low volume music that allowed us to actually talk to each other. The split pot broth option was awesome, catering to both a vegan and non-vegan dining experience.
The veggies, meats, and tofu were fresh, and the drinks were good. The service was also awesome. I would absolutely make a stop here again in the future!

Perfect Last Stop Before Flying!
Our last stop before flying back after our vacation was a hit! It was perfectly accommodating for my vegan wife, who was able to enjoy a split pot with her own broth. We truly wish we lived closer, as we'd be here all the time!

Excellent Takeout, Friendly Service
My experience has been solely with takeout from this restaurant, and I've consistently found the food to be really well seasoned. The basil fried rice is particularly excellent. The person working the counter is also super friendly, making it a convenient and reliable spot for a quick weeknight dinner pickup.
I highly recommend it.
