"I prefer this location over their other South Bay locations because they are consistently more generous with their ingredient portion size here. You won 't feel like you 're spending on just a pot of veggies they actually give you enough of everything. They used to have looooong lines and Yelp waitlist, but I haven 't seen that in my last few trips. Hopefully, I 've just been getting lucky and their business is still doing great. It does feel like they have less staff than they used to though.My go to: stinky tofu beef Taiwanese supreme. My family 's go to: lamb seafood lobsterThey recently added a new chili salt powder with their other condiments on the table and it is sooooo addicting. Tip: don 't be shy asking for more broth when you 're running low. Taiwanese hot pots are meant to be enjoyed with the ingredients mostly covered in broth. Their broth (pork bone base) is not as flavorful as other hotpot places. The spice level doesn 't feel very consistent (ie: Flaming hot doesn 't taste as spicy as it used to be). Some ingredients weren 't very well prepped (ie: meats intestines aren 't as soft mushrooms were all stuck together). They also changed the type of instant noodle being used for the Taiwanese supreme pot it 's a lot thinner now, but I personally preferred the thicker ones. HOWEVER, my family still come here pretty often because it 's great value, especially during lunch.Parking might be a headache though. Their parking lot is small and traffic in this area is always crazy."
