"So amazing. We had been wanting to go here for some time, and finally got a chance to stop. We were greeted by friendly staff, and a very clean, modern, open interior. The smells of other diners' meals wafted in on the warm breeze coming from the open windows, full of glorious pepper, garlic, soy, and myriad meat and veggie scents. We sat down and were immediately attended to by Mimi. Friendly and instantly accommodating to my wife's gluten allergy, Mimi explained to us how the hot pot worked, and how to order things on their menu. I had been to shabu shabu restaurants in Japan, so I knew what was going on, but it was new to my wife. Ordering was as simple as choosing a broth(or two! , what you wanted to cook in the broth, and any noodle or rice sides to accompany the cooked food. We ordered the herbal broth and the mala broth, which was a spicy chinese broth, along with the platter for 2. The platter for 2 included a meat selection(pork, beef, chicken, and lamb sliced VERY thin , a seafood plate(squid, clams, scallops, shrimp, and flounder , and a veggie basket(4 kinds of mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, bok choy, and carrots , and 2 rice/noodle dishes(we got rice vermicelli and udon noodles We also got some pork belly in garlic/chili sauce, and a couple of delicious drinks, a redheaded panda and a mai tai. All the food was wonderful, the broths were flavorful, the veggies, meats, and mushrooms were fresh, and Mimi was very attentive with conversation as well as getting everything to us in a timely manner and with a great attitude. Stuffed, we thought we would never have any room for dessert, but Mimi tempted us with some passionfruit cheesecake, which we decided to share. We made it disappear in about 2 minutes, and it was wonderful to have such a refreshing cheesecake with such different tastes than the normal chocolate laden desserts. We're going to go back often, and we hope to get Mimi every time, she was simply amazing."
