Definitely show up early! For two, the wait definitely hits 1+ hour on the weekends. Delicious broths, quality meat selection, and tasty fresh vegetables. Good selection of noodles and sauces as well. Excellent value for the price. To get maximum value, focus on meats and sauces and don't fill up on noodles. Rice cakes, tofu, and large veggies will fill you up fast. In either case, it'll still be delicious!

This place has always had a line to get in and finally we made it. On the entrance there were three hosts, and no one could make up their mind were too sit us, stating that outside area is closed for one night. Ricardo R.was the only guy who rescued the service. His pleasant smile saved the day. From the variety of hotpot ingredients, and it's freshness this place barely made it to two stars. Out of lamb and served beef was dried-stuck to the served plate. Salad bar was messy and had a very poor selection. The bar is wide and uncomfortable to reach the food. Low sauce selection with no sesame sauce available. Had only five types of deep-fried appetizers (one dumpling and 4 types of chicken). No deserts on the bar. This was the first and last visit to this place.

My first time having Japanese Hot Pot. It was a great experience. Food and service was good. They explained the ordering process and the use of the side items in the center of restaurant. When we sat they explained that we have an hour and a half to eat which is enough time. Per order you can ask for up to four meat and two appetizers. It was easy reordering and you get the items fairly quickly. In the center island, you can get side items to add into your hot pot. They have different vegetables, noodles and seafood. The Tonkatsu Broth was good. My wife had the Spicy Miso Broth. While she said it was good, it was a little too spicy. For the appetizers, the Soy Glazed Chicken Karaage and Gyoza was really good. The restaurant was not loud and they play a variety of different music genres. For $28.99 (Sunday 1pm lunch), it was a nice experience. They do have weekly lunch price at $19.99 Monday through Friday till 3pm. This restaurant is in the Veranda so bring your patience when looking for parking on weekends.

The quality of the food was not the same as before the pandemic. Music was crazy loud in there. Feel like you went to a bar, not a restaurant. Need to train the waiters more, the waiter at our table did not know what he was doing, we ordered drinks , he forgot. We asked for stuffs, he forgot.

The food is great but the service could be better. My friends and I ordered appetizers and didn’t receive them until we had to ask about it halfway through our meal and they didn’t come back at all to check on us if we needed more drinks, meats, etc. staff are super friendly though

Great food. Buffet style for your veggies, noodles and seafood, all you can eat meat, great selection of broths, fried dumpling appetizers is yum. I really enjoyed my lunch. Basically you get to make your own soup at your table. Perfect if you have picky eaters. Ramen is always loved by the kids. There is normally quite a wait but we got lucky and seated pretty quickly. Busy and noisy. Wait staff is awesome and I can't believe with all those diners how attentive they are.

Lunch was reasonably priced at twenty with unlimited veggies/noodles/seafood plus two choices of sliced meat and an appetizer. Four choices of shabu broth. We visited on a Monday and there were watercress, spinach, cabbage, tofu and napa cabbage in veggies section, There were Fresh shrimps and tiny clams. Taste was pretty good for the price. I had the tonkatsu broth with pork belly, pork, and chuckeye beef, all thinly sliced and tasted yummy after cooking in broth. Will definitely return and try every other broth and appetizer.

Wife and I tried a new place for us. Cute atmosphere, great staff, fun experience overall. Probably won't do it again. The food was okay at best, mostly bland and frozen. Seems like a great place try try once to say you did it, but not an amazing place I'd do repeatedly.
