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.

Mason Wong

Flavorful, herbal broths, generous portions of meats and other ingredients for hot pot cooking. Service is good but not stellar. Definitely recommend.

Jessica Chan

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!

Jones

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

Mike Jones

Seafood was good, veggies were great. Spicy broth is the bomb!

Robert Teng

Everything seemed very fresh, and the prices were reasonable considering the large portions

Aubrey Milosevic

Beef pie , potstickers , and 1/2 and1/2 hotpot with love beef , scallops , veggies .....THE BOMB!! Denver needs this place!

Nathan Payne

Amazing food. Get a booth by the glass enclosed kitchen to enjoy the view without the noise.

Nancy Pan

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 !!!

Angela Wong

Get the half and half .

Jones

Lamb meat good, passion fruit tea not good, mango sago drink good,

Katrina

Get the half and half broth if you want flavor but aren't a huge spicy fan. Mixing the 2 is a good compromise.

Sharrol Singh

Lamb skewers with the sesame seed paste, on point!

It's a good place to go when the weather is cold outside. ;-)
