For those that don't know what Posh is, it's basically a spin on Japanese sukiyaki that turns out more like a regular hot pot with a soy sauce based soup. For $20~$30, you get to choose between a variety of vegetables, carbs, and pork/beef(AAA Alberta beef if you pay extra).

My girlfriend and I came to the Burnaby location the other day with a redpocket groupon in hand which is $25 for AAA Alberta beef AYCE + bottomless drinks. When we came into the restaurant, we were promptly seated. Half of the restaurant was very packed and lit up. The other half of the restaurant however, was dark, empty, and sort of haunted looking. The side of the restaurant that was packed was run by two servers for 10~12 tables and sadly, they still did a much better job than the Vancouver or Richmond locations ever did in terms of service. Our food and drinks came quickly whenever we asked for something. The one thing that bothered me a lot though, was that the dish-washer and whatever they use to wash the dining cloths seriously needs fixing. I had to change my bowl in the beginning because there were specs of black...stuff inside. The cloth had lip-stick marks on it.

The food. Vegetables are vegetables. Their variety isn't nearly as big as it was a year ago. The black fungus stuff isn't being served anymore but the selection is still solid I guess. The AAA Alberta beef is GREAT. The cuts of the beef are slightly thicker and much more lean, allowing you to really taste the beef flavor. I don't know if it's worth however much extra they charge on the regular price menu though. In fact, I don't even know if anything on their regular menu is worth it at all, which is why I stopped coming to Posh years ago (before the groupons came out). The drinks we got were the 'Strawberry Twist' and 'Lychee Galore.' Both were good; nothing super outstanding but they were good.

All in all, if you like Posh and are having a craving, come to the Burnaby location. I've had far too many bad service experiences in Richmond to ever go back there. In my opinion, the food is good but the value is horrible and that's why I won't be coming back (without groupons =D). It's just too expensive for what they serve. Unless they drop the price back down by a bit, I expect the second half of the restaurant to remain a ghost town. Alternatively, they could throw some more groupons out there. That'll make me come back =)

When you begin to eat your food, it tastes good. However, when you are on your 30th plate of beef or pork, it starts to taste pretty nasty. Lesson learned: not to order massive amounts of beef / pork. The vegetables were pretty good though. Good selection of food for price.

Ate at posh a few times for lunch. Great value I think for under $10. As a previous reviewer has stated, the base cost doesn't include extras such as sauces or different soup bases. I haven't been to a hotpot location that doesn't charge extra for soup bases, but usually most sauces are free at other hotpot places. At the same time, $10 is a great value regardless in my opinion.

The restaurant is nice and comfortable. Good amount of space between diners. Food is pretty solid, has beef and pork slices, with a variety of noodles and veggies.

The main problem is the poor service. For the whole restaurant most of the time I have seen only 2 waiters, maybe 3 at most, usually one standing at the bar preparing drinks. This is simply not enough to service the entire restaurant. I wait a long time for my order to arrive, and did not get asked if i wanted any drinks. When i asked for tea i waited over 15 minutes to get any. I actually received my food before i got my pot or my tea which was about 20 minutes after I got seated and ordered. I saw the people sitting in the table across from me get up and get their own cups and pour their own tea and water.

Would go back if I'm not in a rush for its good value.

I know this is an all you can eat, but the selection of meat is pathetic. Pork, beef and fish paste? what the heck? Wheres the other cuts of meat? and what with the dinky cuts? These things are like frozen, and when you try to put it into the pot, it scrapes, and the meat fibers are ruined.

Also, thanks to the guy below. After eating like 30 boxes, this pot taste like shit. Honestly i would've figured that they would change your pot and replace it with a new one, instead you get the same one you burned the shit out of the leftovers you didn't want to eat. Gross. I rather spend my money elsewhere.

I come here with a friend fairly often for lunch and we always have a good meal. The selection of food choices has gone down, but you know, we always leave with a full tummy. Greeted quickly at the door, we get seated and they start the hot pot up for us. A selection of tofu, assorted veggies and a few trays of beef and pork and we're off. It's comforting food and it's good food. Not too heavy, unless you're eating only meat of course, and for a diabetic, pretty easy on the sugars. They have a good selection of beverages and are very accomdating for requests, even if they do charge for tea. For lunch for 2 including drinks and a generous tip, we usually spend about $45 and that's with a very generous tip. The room is very modern and well kept and maintained. Ladies room is tidy and you can see the kitchen is very organized and clean too.

A favourite for girls' lunches for sure.

We've been going to the various locations of POSH for a few years now, and we won't be stopping any time soon.

For those that don't know what sukiyaki is, it's a similar concept to hotpot. Sukiyaki uses a shallower pan and much less broth. Posh is AYCE sukiyaki, with a menu that focuses heavily on vegetables and various tofu products. However, don't be put off if you're a meat eater. The menu does have beef and pork as well, which come in cute little stackable trays.

It takes a little bit to learn how to eat sukiyaki properly, but the food is absolutely delicious at Posh. In response to one of the reviewers below, the restaurant provides two small teapots, one which contains water and one contains sauce. If you add them in 1/1 ratio throughout the meal, your soup would not become bland. They also have great drinks. Strawberry / Peach / Mango / Pineapple / Passionfruit flavored 7-Up, refillable and only around $3. YUM!!

The ambiance at Posh is always great as well. The decor is very contemporary. It's especially a joy to walk into the place on a cold day and smell the warm food cooking.

If you have never been to Posh, this place is a MUST TRY!

The ambience of the restaurant is great. But other than that, there's nothing good about it.

Service is subpar. The servers prefer chatting among themselves than actually serving. We had to ask 2 or 3 times to get a liddle, and same thing again for tea, and then sauce....

The food selection may seem ample, but the only meat selection is pork or beef. The rest is veggie items. So either one has to be vegetarian or beef/pork lover, otherwise, you may have a hard time trying to order a second round.

Also, the cost may be misleading. $13.99 is the base cost. If you want the special spicy soup base, it's extra 6 bucks. And they only provide you soy sauce. If you want satay sauce, it's extra dollar.

i'd visited this location last fall and had made reservations ahead of time for a party of 12. they assured me over the phone that we'd be seated together in a room.

upon arrival the day of, i was told that the party before us had started late but they were hoping that they'd finish up soon and also, that we wouldn't be able to get a room. fine, i said, as long as we'd be seated together, which the hostess assured us we would.

when they were finally ready to seat us (well over 30mins after our reserved time), they seated us at 3 separate booths, so that those seated at the 3rd booth could not interact with the other 2 tables.

the food was decent, but a lot of our orders never arrived and no one bothered to tell us that maybe the kitchen had run out of certain items. they were also out of ingredients for many of the drinks we wanted to order.

by the end of the meal, they actually rang up our bill with a 15% gratuity as a party of over 8 people when a quarter of us weren't even seated so that we could interact with everyone else! i was quite ready to complain and refuse to pay the 15% gratuity but my friend's husband didn't want to cause a fuss and footed the bill quietly.

rest assured, i will not be visiting that location again. poor service like that is a deal breaker.

I've been here a few times for lunch and the food is always fresh. I had my first experience with sukiyaki here and I'm definitely a fan. Dipping the meat into raw eggs was surprisingly very good. It's great how you get to pour in the water and sauce to make the broth to your own liking. I liked how the servers were all fluent in English and the restaurant was very clean. Overall, I was very satisfied - all-you-can-eat hot pot for only $13.88 + $3.50 for bottomless pop! Now that's a good deal!

Well, let me start off by saying that I've never been a big fan of hotpot because i've never found it to be a good value especially after all the additional fees they charge, like soup base, etc., at other chinese hotpot places.. but this place definitely brings value, with a nice ambience and GREAT SERVICE. I haven't received such great service for a restaurant within this price range in a long time, definately beats all the other All-you-can-eats in terms of service, the food is alright, wish they had more selections to choose from, but again hotpot was never really my cup of tea, so that's the only thing holding me back, but for $14/person, you really can't complain. I would also like to add that their broth is pretty good, you can adjust the level of saltiness to your liking, after dining at this restaurant, i didn't feel thirsty at all like other hotpot places, so i don't think they used any MSG. They were really prompt with delivery straight from the get-go.

The restaurant manager also took the time to walk around to give out free samples of their seasonal drinks. Overall, it was a great dining experience, the service was just AWESOME from beginning to end, my first sukiyaki ever, and i'll probably return again in the near future.

the reason why it's a "probably" is because im not a fan of hotpot, but for those who are, u'll definately find this to be an unique experience.
