You need to ask for jay kim, he is the best server in the house. he was patient and always so helpful with us first hot potter. I had a vegetarian hot pot, so, except the knödeln. although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and offered me an alternative option. it would be more brilliant for them to make it to their menu drum for those of us who only love veggies. the broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to make a vegetarian option together with. we had a party of 8 and jay kim made it so much fun! the food was absolutely delicious. everything was so fresh. another possibility that would have been great to be fresh ingwer in the sauce bar and mushrooms on the sweet plate. we were all pleasantly satisfied with our eating. The ambiente is very nice, light, but more than enough to cook and enjoy. jay kim made sure we always had what we needed. the sauce bar was amazing, so many possibilities. I recommend a few bowls, some for the broth and some for the diving of their cooked food. if they get any kind of meat, they also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to, but it made a good difference. the pieces of meat are cut thinly and again, so fresh. the price was worth the amount of food and experience. there is an all they can eat option or a la carte option where they only have a meat selection and a sweet plate that is more than enough for us as a party of the young ladies. this was a great first hot pot experience and I recommend it in any case, make sure they ask for jay kim. I know you'll enjoy it!

I loved the original restaurant in Centreville but this one is closer to me and is now my favorite hot pot place! Excellent food that comes out fresh and fast. There are nice dividers between the booths for both privacy and safety (in these Covid times). The owner and staff are very attentive, even during the busy times. I don’t “dine in” much these days, but when I do, this restaurant is my top choice!

This was the first time we had hot pot. IT WAS AMAZING. This place is definitely worth checking out. We got the all you can eat menu and it was totally worth it. The staff here is INCREDIBLE. Super helpful, super attentive and incredibly polite. We'll be returning here for sure!

This place does not have as much choice of meats, and veggies to choose from, but it is good enough for me. I like the brisket, angus, lamb, napa, bok choi, taro, squash, and fish cakes. Service is good and friendly. Like havinf soju with my hotpot, and the new Terra beer is delicious, almost like a Carlsburg.For some reason my kids 7 8 loves this place, the only time they really eat a full meal when eatting out. I guess its the hands on interaction with their personal hot pot. The pots are I think safe for my children, it cannot drop or spill over because it is placed in a secured hole on the table. This is our go to spot.

4.5.....Based on Food: 5 STARSSo where was 1/2 a star lost?Bathroom.But Let's discuss that a little bit later.FOOD:AMAZING!We have visited many hot pot places and this one is definitely in the contention for 1st place.The meats, noodles, seafood and vegetables looked very fresh.You definitely must go for the all you can eat.I wish I could say more but that would spoil the food experience.Go and try it for yourself. Take your employees to this is a great place for team building or just for treating your employees to this unique experience.The additional ingredients on the side bar just meet your individual palate preferences.SERVER:AM I MAD WITH MYSELF! Our female waiter, from Seoul, was fabulous... She made us feel like she knew us for a long time.Even a busgentleman from Guatemala treated us like family.LOCATIONEasy to find and tons of parking.With a great looking restaurant and atmosphere.PRICESDang,,,, they are very fair for the quality.BATHROOMSVery Clean. Sadly, with COVID around they Are missing one key item, paper towels.You see, when you go to the bathroom and after you do whatever you need to do you have to wash your hands and they only have a hand blowdryer which is good for the ecological part, but how do you think you open the door?Sadly enough, you have to grab the door by the handle pull and then you're out but, remember not everybody washes their hand.So after you have washed your hands and dried your hands now there's no way getting out of the bathroom without you having to grab the door handle And BINGO!!! you have just contaminated your hands.Half a star taken away for missing this detail.REMEMBER:The devil is in the details!RETURN FACTOR100%(Hopefully they address the paper towel issue in the bathrooms or put a step door opener)RECOMMEND A FRIEND FACTOR100%YOUTUBE INTERVIEW FACTORI WANT 100%IN SUMMARY:Echoing the wise words of our fabulous waiter(and beautiful).The food was 너무 맛있어요WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR‽빨리 가!
