"Extremely disappointing, if you like hotpot, I'm sure you can get something out of going here, but if you're not adept at cooking, or looking for a buffet to eat at, stay far far away. A few years ago, my family and I used to frequent this location, it had wonderful sushi (for a buffet restaurant), juicy and tasty meats and the likes, and an infinite supply of crab legs. However, this place shutdown awhile ago, and to my surprise, had its grand opening not too long ago, me and my family were excited to try it again, but that excitement was in vain. A 2 out of 5 stars is a bit of an understatement, but I don't want to give my favorite restaurant of the past a 1/5, since the original vision is kind of still here, just clouded. Half of the buffet used to be sushi, now it is just a small part, with only a few sushi rolls. The crab legs are also gone, and the dessert was both flavorless and dry sadly. The meats and tempura are still there, but something felt off about them, maybe a bit less flavor? It could just be me remembering wrong. The service was decent, our waiter did not know the proper cooking times for shrimp, and there weren't any temperatures listed, only 1-4 temperatures. The waiter did however come to our aid frequently, and delivered food and drinks better than most places. Some tips for the restaurant: Please put up a sign on how to make a good tasting hotpot, I've never heard of hotpot before coming here, and was very confused and tried too many things, making the soup taste awful, the same for my entire family. Perhaps it is my fault for not doing research, but I found a few other families struggling to choose what may or may not taste good, and with how expensive this restaurant is, trial and error may not be an option for everybody. Maybe put up some beginner and advanced recipes for making a good hotpot, and put up times to cook the seafood and meat at, I cannot see how this is legal, but there's no sign on how long to heat up anything, nor are there temperatures on the heaters. Choose if you want to become a hotpot restaurant or a buffet place, since skating between the two will do nothing but put you out of business. The buffet has been nearly halved to what it originally was, and the new hotpot design doesn't feel very thought out, with key ingredients being completely left out."
