Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Well, there’s a lot to say about this place. Firstly, the atmosphere is amazing and I love the use of neon lights. It’s very reminiscent of the Chuck E. Cheese that used to sit in this area building and it is very cool to look around and try to see what you used to remember of this new restaurant from the mice of old. The service was very attuned and kind and helpful when needed, but it was nothing out of ordinary. While I don’t really trust all you can eat buffets and I try to steer clear of them. It did look appetizing enough to indulge. Food wise it is pretty mediocre. Well, I will test. It is the best miso soup I ever had. Everything else was very minimum near taste look wise. I wouldn’t say there’s anything wrong with it per se but it is nothing worth $89 which is how much me and my girlfriend paid. Now hopefully the seafood and raw meat that we flash boiled in 1000° soups doesn’t give us food poisoning tomorrow. It should all work out and would be a fun place to go with a big group with splitting the ball, but I would definitely not recommend it for a party of 1 to 2 or even three who are either splitting or paying in full. Well, it wasn’t nice. I don’t believe it was worth the price.

Went there on Valentine's night. We also realize the place is very new and it is obvious they are still working things out. There seems to be a need for better communication between the servers and the front of house staff as to when things are done for the evening. It also appeared that thier reservation app possibly wasn't working right after I seen a few couple questions the lady's taking reservations. Some walked out. We about did but then were called to be seated. We didn't make reservations. We got there about 9:30 and assumed we would be waiting at least 10 minutes. Once we got to.our table Darren took great care of us. In all our travels we have seldom had a sever as good as he was. If I was just rating his service it would be a 5 star. But others caused it to go down. Food was brought out quickly. We worked our way through many of the many of the BBQ choices. The short ribs, hanger staeak, and garlic shrimp were our favorites. Looking forward to going back and seeing improvements as most all restaurants do ove the course of the first month.

Great BBQ and hotpot buffet. It’s $32.99 for one or an extra $5 to do both. Soft drinks, bubble tea, and mocktails are priced separately and reasonably. ​They use open-flame grills, which provide high heat—a bit trickier to manage than electric ones, but the extra power is definitely a plus. The hotpot menu diversity is above average. The meat quality for both BBQ and hotpot is solid and worth the price. The staff is friendly, and the space is clean and bright. Will definitely be back with friends!
