The food was great, I love the sides that they have while we wait for the ingredients. They have chicken feet and these jelly dessert is what I love getting but there are other stuff too like kimchi etc. I got the spicy bone marrow and always get the beef and tripes with my veggies! The service was fine and the ambience was nice and clean.

Ambience and space is really huge! Definitely a good spot to go with friends/family. There were a good amount of things to select for hot pot, and a separate spot to get sauces and things to flavor or dip for your hot pot selection. We don't really have places like that on Maui so I enjoyed my time - Miguel Morales Photography

This is the best hot pot restaurant on the island! They've got everything and more to choose from to add into your broth. They have all you can eat appetizers like shrimp chips, ice jelly, chicken feet, buns with condensed milk, kimchi and assorted fruits! The sauce bar gives you the freedom to make your own dipping sauce for your meats. The service here is quick! It's kind of pricey compared to other hot pot places but with the amount of options they offer, I don't mind paying the price. I'll be back to bring my family and friends!

We went on New Years day, because nothing else was opened, and were SO blown away with how yummy everything was. There was a waitlist, but since we got there at opening, we were seated no problem. You get a menu where you can mark off the broth, meats, veggies, starches and seafoods that you want. It's broken down into R1, R2 and R3, for the three different rounds you can order. You write down how many of each you want per round (ex. 1 order of pork, 3 orders of lettuce, etc.). There's a sauce bar where you can make your own sauces and add toppings, and the broths come in a personal pot so you can enjoy your own. Prices are really reasonable; $34 for weekday lunch and $39 for weekend lunches and Dinner. Be aware of the 90 minute limit, and don't over order because you may need to pay a fee if you leave too much food. The service was SO quick and attentive. My water was always filled and they constantly came back to ask if we were doing okay. By the time we left around 7pm there was a line of about 20 people waiting outside.

My son took me here for dinner. He had reservations. We were seated right away. When we left the restaurant, there was a long like outside. Broth was very tasty. Meat was fresh and very good. Vegetables were fresh as well. Deducted 1 star because the sauce station was not being kept up. It was messy and didnt get cleaned and replenished often. But other than that, the place is very good and servers were very attentive and nice.

Personally this is my favorite hotpot location. They tend to be quite busy the past couple of times I have visited to keep that in mind. I tried to call ahead of time to ask to put my name down but they said we had to come in to sign into the waitlist. When we got here we were given an estimate of 15-30 minutes. However, less than 5 minutes later we were seated. Very pleased with the experience. With such a large restaurant they're bound to small details such as your water, but if you ask they're quick to fill it right up. When we ordered we made an accidental mistake for one of the broths and we asked politely to change it and they happily obliged with no problem. The process is straightforward, when you are seated you're given a piece of paper where you will order with (including the broths). You get 3 rounds. Under each round you can put the quantity of that item. Don't be shy when you put the quantity of the meats down, the images I have included was orders of 4 and then 6 (of each meat in separate rounds) it looked like the exact same to be honest. Self Serve Station: This is where you can get your sauces designed to what you desire. They also have small sides such as various fruits (ex: pineapple, cantaloupe), seaweed salad, peanuts, shrimp chips, and mini fried mandoos (last time it was sesame balls) (with condensed milk). Ordered: I got the spicy marrow broth. It is my go-to and super flavorful. - Supreme Beef: Delicious, MUST order - Beef Short Plate: A bit on the gamey side compared to the supreme beef, we almost mistook it as the lamb. Personally a bit too fatty for me as well. Would order just smaller quantity - Supreme Lamb Shoulder Plate: Also gamey as expected but it was perfect and expected if you enjoy the lamb flavor. I tried many things but the must orders beyond the meats for me are: - Shrimp paste with roe - Fish ball with roe - Wood ear mushrooms I would really recommend to not be shy when ordering and try what you'd like as you have only 3 rounds to order and the quality of each order is very small (eg: 1 order of shrimp paste is like 1-2 singular shrimp paste ball).
