Reviews
- minuscule_mung_beanPretty close to my office so I figured I'd swing by for some hotpot. The space feels super open and bright once you walk in, food came out quick, and the staff was really on it — kept topping up the broth without me having to ask. I got the lamb, tripe, and tofu skin, and the meat was fresh, and the sesame sauce tasted legit. They have a second floor too with some private rooms that'd be perfect for a small get-together. Honestly didn't feel like I wasted my lunch break here at all, super convenient spot.
