My sister had been raving about this place forever, so we finally decided to go there tonight for dinner. It's quite a trek for dinner from North Burnaby to this place, but it was quite worth it.

We both ordered the Prime Rib hot pot with the Thai Style soup. I'll remember next time to order the regular soup - the Thai style was a bit too spicy for me. My nose was running the whole time I was eating. The prime rib was shaved thin, so all you had to do was dunk it into your boiling broth three times and it was good to go. They also give you this awesome concoction to dip your meat and veggies into. I just had one dip, but my sister soaked all her meat and veggies in it, so she had to get a second one. (She usually gets 3!).

Anyway, for $22.75 each we walked out stuffed and quite satisfied. I'll be sure to return again and try another dish. Maybe the Rib Eye hot pot next time.

Fall is here - time for hot pot!!

This is the only place I can always count on to have a good hot pot experience with its good food and quick and friendly service. Its Shabu Shabu, so everyone has their own little pot so no need to pass this and that plate of whatever around with communal chopsticks.

You order your meat of choice and it comes with a plate of veggies with prawn in it, and then you choose between udon, rice, or vermicelli, a drink (plum juice or fruit punch), and a choice of chocolate or vanilla ice-cream at the end. (They used to have slush for drink and also strawberry frozen yogurt but I haven't found out what happened to those).

You can also add sides to it, like shrimp balls, pork blood, more taro, etc for $2 or $3/each.

Even though I'm the type that can pig out at an all-you-can-eat and out eat my friends, this is way more satisfying. Lamb Pot is what I normally order and at $13.95 its very good value and quite filling with the vegetables they give, but I usually add a couple of sides to it like meat and pork blood.

The inside is like a typical taiwanese restaurant. There are 6 or so tables good for parties of 4 and then the bar that's good for about 30 people that wraps around the aisle where the waitresses walks to serve everyone.

Now that winter is here, be sure to make reservations or you'll be watching people eating for an hour before they can seat you!! If you see the windows steamed up then that means you got there too late!!

PS - You can tell a lot about someone across the room by the way they eat their ice-cream.

After reading these reviews, my fiancee and I decided to try this place out. You sit at an oval bar where each person has their own small hot pot bowl (shabu shabu). Hopefully the person across from you isn't always looking at you.

The dipping sauce is almost the most tastiest (I'm a sause fan so I get 3-4), and the set meals are quite filling. Each meal comes with lthe main order plus lots of veggies and a small variety of other things, which is not as much as you'd get for paying the same price for all you can eat hot pot, but is still good value. Meals are $15-20 on average. My fiancee loves the sliced fish meal, and I get the short rib meal.

Don't get spicy soup (too spicy and no flavour), get plain. Most side dishes expensive - 4 balls/$3.50. Slushies come with the meal, we love their slushies! Staff is friendly. All in all, a great place to eat!

I am a banana. I do know hotpots.

This is a Taiwan restaurant. We went on a Sunday evening. Ate from 7:30 to 10:30pm.

We were greeted promptly and asked to sit at the bar. The bar takes up about 1/3 of the seating area and seats about 25. The rest of the seating consists of 6-7 tables that only seat 4 people per table. North American pop music was playing softly. About 6 seats at the bar were being used.
Looking around I noticed framed photos of european countries on all the walls which did not make sense.
When seated we were served tea and asked to look over the menu which were our placemats. The waitresses were very helpful in answering our questions in english, mandarin, cantonese, and taiwanese.

Basically the choices are simple. Choose your soup base. Choose your main pot combo. The following things are included in your meal. You will be asked whether you want rice, udon, or rice vermicelli. You will also be asked what drink you would like with your meal. Vegetables and various fish cakes also come with the meal.
Choose any additional side orders you would like if you think there is not enough food. I am 240 pounds and I was full with just the seafood and meat (your choice of meat) main pot combo. My date had the fresh fish and meat.
The food was well cut and well presented which was 45% of the meal to me.
Overall a pretty good meal and time.
Yes I would recommend and go again.
