Chinese Hot Pot Buffet Zhòng Qìng Huǒ Guō ）

One of th more extravagant and higher-end hot pot establishments in South Edmonton. This place takes AYCE hot pot to a whole new level!Aside from meats and certain appetizers that are ordered off a paper menu, the remaining items are self-picked from a buffet bar. This allows you to select your own quantity, variety, and quality of your meal! The only downside are the cooked/hot appetizers, as those items could have been sitting there for a while.Overall, a highly sought-after hot pot establishment, as the restaurant is usually packed full and has a long wait time to be seated.A must-try!

Went here for the first time and we were super excited. Till we started eating.. Service was horrible. No one served us drinks when we asked.. All of the seafood tasted old, fishy and smelled foul. Then when we wanted to leave and pack up our food we were charged $14 (yes we were aware of the cost knowing I wouldn’t eat all my food) but to stir our pots and basically measure how much was left was disgusting considering we had no service otherwise… over priced and not worth coming to the city for. There are better hot pots in Edmonton then this.

The food was really good and there were a lot of options. Service was fast and didn't leave us wanting. The chicken wings were surprisingly delicious.I do question the sanitation of this place. The raw meats may have been on different trays but there were only 2 tongs for 4-8 trays so lots of chances for cross contamination. We were also not told how long the different items should boil for so we either under or overcooked everything.

We went there for a combo on Friday night. The food was very slow, we waited 30 minutes for the broth. But it’s okay. After eating for a while, the waitress with pony tail and glasses came and asked if we are almost done. She told us we have been eating for 2 hours, and we are only having the combo. While there is a long lineup for all you can eat. I looked at my phone and realized we have only been eating for one hour. Terrible service. Never going back. Not worth the money.

Drove all the way to Edmonton just to try this very popular hot pot restaurant.The place was packed even at 5PM. I’m glad we got there early enough so we didn’t have to wait long to be seated. About 30 minutes later, the wait to get a table got even crazier.There were a few options of broth and sliced meat was ordered through their servers.There were a lot items on the buffet tables. Everything looked so fresh and of good quality but it was a little overwhelming for me because the self-serve stations were packed with diners the entire time that I felt I wasted a lot of time just to get through the line.Cooked items were plentiful too but most are just fillers. The highlight of the buffet stations was the selections of seafood, especially the shrimps!The 2 hour limit was strictly enforced as we were reminded a few times by the servers that our time was up. A little annoying but I guess they have to do that since there were plenty of people waiting to be seated. If you want to have great conversion with your family and friends while dining, this might not be a good place for you.The entire experience was just ok because you have to get up a few times to get most of the food and it was a little inconvenience in my opinion. The servers were so busy so they were a little hard to find to order more sliced meat.However, I’m glad I tried this place just to see what the fuss is all about.I still prefer the other hot pot place nearby as the experience there is always great and the service is a lot more personal and friendlier. More importantly, the food is always brought right to your table so the dining experience is always seamless.
