This place rocks. Hot Pot is a great activity and meal for a group of friends. Along with the thinly sliced meats, get the chinese donut and dip it in the broth before you devour heaven.
Flavorful, herbal broths, generous portions of meats and other ingredients for hot pot cooking. Service is good but not stellar. Definitely recommend.
perfect for a cold day. get the half spicy half regular broth and noodles that you can dump in after all your food seasons the broth!
Pretty good. They also sell some premium tea drinks from a milk tea vendor. The assam milk tea was ok. The broth is good. Veggies and meat were ok. Lots of sauce options
Seafood was good, veggies were great. Spicy broth is the bomb!
Everything seemed very fresh, and the prices were reasonable considering the large portions
Beef pie , potstickers , and 1/2 and1/2 hotpot with love beef , scallops , veggies .....THE BOMB!! Denver needs this place!
Amazing food. Get a booth by the glass enclosed kitchen to enjoy the view without the noise.
Must get the spicy soup ! Don't be chicken and get the normal soup base! Also, love the house wide noodles and tofu sheets! Ridiculously delish!
The broths are okay, although the spicy one is a bit better. I wish I could like this place.. but the service is not good, and there are too many spices and garlics floating around!
Try the Mongolian hot pot - Half reg, half spicy with assorted fishball, mushrooms , veggies and sliced beef , great deal at $9.95 for lunch !!!
Get the half and half .
Lamb meat good, passion fruit tea not good, mango sago drink good,
Get the half and half broth if you want flavor but aren't a huge spicy fan. Mixing the 2 is a good compromise.
Lamb skewers with the sesame seed paste, on point!
It's a good place to go when the weather is cold outside. ;-)
A softer boil makes for more tender meats and vegetables .
Half and half is great.
They're known for their original hot pot broth
If you're in the neighborhood ...gotta try sushi sam's! Seared toro !
Lunch combo !
If you have leftovers, you can take home the broth, veggies , etc. Service here is great, too.
Yummy in my tummy! Leave your jacket in the car. The smell is no joke.
Sheep is just delicious
Food comma, delicious
Parking can be huge pain, also only can be seated when everyone arrives.
Half n half broth, lamb , asst mushroom plate. NOM!
Tofu skin is amazing. Also new pork rib soup base is so tasty!
Order the beer marinated beef . Yum!
It's all-you-can-eat on Tuesday night's for $21 a person. Thinking sweet deal. Good food.the hostess need to get her attitude in check. Rude, unprofessional, disrespectful. not worth it.
Watch out for the floating spices in your hot pot ...
Everything is a bit too salty for my taste. Nice selection though
Delicious and order the lamb skewers !
Half original half spicy broth and corn pancakes !
Try the Mongolian Meat Pie
The seating host can't even get her tables right...
Thick noodle with lunch special is awesome!!
All-you-can-eat on Tuesdays!
Lamb meatballs !! Skip all seafood , just overpriced. And leave your jacket in the car...
Nom nom nom

Always busy on Fri/Sat; get there early to sign up. They will turn away customers if close to closing. Very tasty broth, affordable dishes, efficient service, waayyyyy better than Little Lamb!! - Jay Mar
The tapioca milk tea is the best. Egg puffs are much better than Eggettes, too! - jennifer s.
#9 Red bean combo with less sugar is pretty good! They have boardgames too. - Kat ????
