I came with some friends a few months ago on a cold weekday night for hot pot - it was my first time to this place. The place was absolutely empty at around 6pm when we arrived. We were a bit confused about how to order - the hot pot menu was separated into 'mains' (e.g. beef, fish etc.) and 'sides'(veg, dumplings etc.), we asked the waiter for some clarification but was still a bit confused. Anyhow we each ordered a main (I ordered fish and my friends ordered beef) and ordered several sides.

We each get our own individual pot; turned out each "main" actually came with a bowl of rice, and a plate of assorted veg and dumpling/fish balls, so it was quite unnecessary for us to order extra sides (unless you really want the extra serving).

Disappointingly there were no sauces to choose from- we were each given a plate of soy sauce with some garnish - I asked them if they had other stuff (e.g. oyster/hoisin/sesame) and they said no.

The fish was very ordinary, beef was nice - tender and better than other hot pot places.

When we left the place was still 70% empty, but the jap restaurant opposite was packed! Next time we know where to go......

Upper scale Japanese style restaurant with top quality produce and an interesting menu. This restaurant specialises in Japanese hot pot also known as shabu shabu. Each patron receives their own personal hot pot instead of typically sharing one on the table.

All hot pots can be custom made by choosing your own stock base, then choosing your preferred meat, which comes with vegetables, then adding any sides and extras. Premium seafood consists of prawns, scallops, fish, pipis, and squid. Premium beef comes with slices of wagyu beef, full of marbling (although only 6 slices).

You may also try their cook-it-yourself steak which is a generous piece of Wagyu beef on a sizzling hot stone brought to your table, which you cook yourself to your liking.

Great customer service and very nice atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $20 - 40
