BeeFun Hot Pot — Restaurant in Calgary

Food and service is good, but it’s not your wow kind of good, defiantly not 80$+tips p/p kind of good. This place is totally OVERPRICE! Seriously!

We ordered that cow-shaped platter combo, and few extra plates of beef. The portion of beef is unreasonable tiny. The big wooden board makes the meat falsely looks like it has a big portion, but the fact is, the meat is cut into very very thin slides and flatten on the board/plate. After the beef is cooked, it shrank into chunks. It’s defiantly not enough food for everyone on the table. I just ate 1-2 tiny piece of each kind of beef. My friends were being polite and let me to eat more. They didn’t even get to try all the parts of beef that we ordered.

10-15$ for 1 plate of meat, just comes with 5-6 pieces probably just around 1oz(2oz top!).??? Yes I understand food supplies rise in price after COVID. Yes I appreciate that the authentic hotpot experience is very precious. It must be not easy to separate and cut the beef as Swatow Style hotpot standard. But at the end of the day, I just paid the beef fat, beef flank, beef tongue, not even the good cuts of beef! Charged for 80$+tips p/p, and each person didn’t even have 5oz beef, also left with empty stomach.

I think this place is totally unreasonable OVERPRICE. When you compare to: a good piece 5oz Angus rib-eye steak costs 50-60$; 5oz Japanese A5 wagyu costs 80$, the math is just not right!

If you want to pay for the experience, 80$ or whatever you would pay to try it. Try. If you want to have a satisfied meal, here’s...

Outrageously over-priced, and proportions are ridiculously small. As a Chinese person, I have never been so disappointed from a Chinese restaurant. Never did I think you could hotpot wrong but this place proved me wrong.

The ingredients aren't fresh, lettuce was old and full of holes like Swiss cheese. Corn tasted like it was previously frozen and defrosted and then frozen again (mushy and transparent when cooked), mushrooms were pathetically small and dehydrated (reminded me of my 80 year old grandpa's foot), duck blood was thinly sliced.

Don't even get me started on the meat, the server told us we didn't have to cook our beef for long because "it's triple A beef", but that's not right. You don't have to cook your meat for long because they give you very thin slices, it's like paper.

We paid for $4/ veggie thinking that it would be a full plate, we were very wrong to think that. Each type of veggie was half of the plate and they have tiny plates.

The tomato broth is poor quality, it has a very artifical taste. I've had better soup base from a bag.

You really don't get much to eat, definitely not worth the price. We ended up paying the same price as AYCE, but left feeling hungry and food quality was awful. You're honestly better off going to the AYCE hotpot restaurant...

I can’t say this was a great experience. The food tasted good. But the price is way to much and it isn’t worth it. Price vs the amount of food is way off scale. The quality of beef is good, but I feel the cooking method does not make the quality stand out. Ordered 6 plates of different cuts of beef (it really is not that much beef) 1 order of rice noodle + 2 different vegetables. Came to just over $80. Their housemade beef balls have had to be the worst. It did not have the crunch I expect from beef balls. It felt like they are soft meat balls with Chinese spices.

The restaurant also does Vietnamese food. I don’t like how a restaurant serves 2 completely different ethnic food. It’s not focus enough to make either stand out. At the end of the meal my wife and I both though it tasted good; but can’t help but feel a little taken.

The more we think about it. The more we feel it is a deconstrted bowl of pho with the same soup base and better beef but charged each item separately.

I will not...
