Went here for dinner with some friends on Friday night. Irene found this place after seeing some good reviews on the net.
The four of us were initially seated upstairs on a table for six. After sitting there for a while and having ordered already, one of the waitress came up abruptly and demanded that we move downstairs. Asking her why we had to move, she struggled to provide a reason and eventually said that someone else had booked that table. Funny thing is that we also booked in advance so any mistakes with matching tables to bookings were entirely their fault. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, we finally decided to give in to their requests and moved downstairs to a stuffier room.
The brush with the waitress aside, the food was quite reasonable but nothing unexpected given it was a hotpot and the food did not require much preparation. However, the soup bases - one herbal and one special spicy - were quite good. In addition to the hot pot dishes, we also ordered some skewers but were shocked to see how skimpy they were when they finally came. Nevertheless, what little we had to dig our teeth into did taste quite good.
Overall, the dinner was quite pricey, with a few hits and misses. It definitely won't be a place I'll be rushing back to but it's an acceptable choice for a hotpot venue if nothing else is available.
