“Very homey and comfortable hot pot buffet, as if it was run by a family friend. They have made great use of the limited space. Everything just works well. Never short on food, and the little touches the team members do for you are memorable (ie: offered me a phone stand as I was watching movies on my phone while I dined, team members walking around”
