Great All-You-Can-Eat Hot Pot!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed an all-you-can-eat hot pot for under $100, which is an incredible deal. The food was truly amazing. The only minor issue was that the ordering system was a bit wonky, but it didn't detract from the overall positive experience.

Great Food, Overwhelmed Staff
I really like this place, but the experience was tainted by overwhelmed staff and carts of dirty dishes in the aisle. The kitchen staff was excellent, and there's a great variety of vegetarian options. It's a great family restaurant with a quiet atmosphere, making it easy to talk. The food received a score of 4, and the atmosphere also received a 4.

Disgusting Roach Infestation - Avoid!
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly unpleasant due to a severe roach infestation. A few days ago, my brother and I witnessed roaches crawling on the wall and floor before we could even sit down. This immediately made my stomach churn, and we left the restaurant as quickly as possible. It's clear there's a significant roach problem, and I wouldn't risk my health eating here. I believe the food safety department needs to be alerted.

Unpleasant discovery in sauce bar
My experience at the restaurant was marred by a significant issue with the food. I found a dead fly inside one of the sauces at the sauce bar. While some might joke about it being 'extra protein, ' it was a deeply unpleasant discovery. The food quality, service, and atmosphere were rated a 1 by the reviewer, indicating a very poor overall experience.

Great Pot and Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant was really good. The pot was excellent, and the tom yum soup was a highlight. Everyone was really nice, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. I also appreciated how clean the sauce bar was. Additionally, they have a really good parking lot, which is a definite plus.

Excellent Szechuan Broth Found!
I used to frequent Huo Yan Hot Pot, but it unfortunately closed down. I struggled to find a place with broth that matched its quality until I discovered this restaurant. They offer AYCE (All You Can Eat), and ordering is conveniently done through a QR app. I highly recommend the Szechuan Pepper Broth!
