阿爺八鮮鍋 — Restaurant in Kowloon

Don’t know why this one got so many positive reviews. Not good experience as the service is vey slow and they basically refused to offer what we ordered. We waited for 20’mins without any food served from our previous order. So we ordered again, still nothing. Then we told the waiter again what we wanted and he said they will serve asap. Five minutes later, they served the wrong food. They basically just serve whatever they want to serve you. What’s the point of ordering. Even a lot of food in our first order was missing. When we asked for lobster for a second time, they told us that they no longer have lobsters when lobsters were still being served and we saw them in the water tanks. Is it really a buffet? Never mind that, even the fruit at the end is very little. We were just two adults with one kid of 9 years old, who ate very little. Me and my friend we had to decide who wanted to eat the tiny piece of watermelon and who wanted to eat the small slice of melon. Fine, at least, there were two lychees. I really should have taken some photos. But to be fair, the only good point here is that the food is fresh, but other than that, very little is commendable. The value, the service, the attitude and the atmosphere were just lousy. I hope this is an one-time experience but apparently it is hard to trust high ratings here from Google. Something fishy. Also, maybe it’s because we spoke Chinese mandarin, and they served us differently? Better speak Cantonese or English maybe? In Beijing, we have a saying: 看人下菜碟: they serve you according to who you are. This is at least how we felt. Most sarcastically, when we were leaving, the owner or someone from the restaurant was asking: are you full? Hahaha. Very funny! Btw, corkage is 100 per one bottle of wine, in case you want to bring wine. I...

After a day of indulgent shopping along the vibrant streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, I found the perfect refuge in this place, a renowned hot pot restaurant that promised to rejuvenate both my palate and my spirit.

The all-you-can-eat hot pot experience, priced at a remarkably affordable $368, immediately piqued my interest, and I eagerly took my seat.

Before the main event, the restaurant thoughtfully presented me with a comforting soup, a soothing prelude to the flavorful hot pot to come. The broth, infused with just the right balance of herbs and spices, instantly revived my senses and prepared my palate for the culinary adventure ahead.

And what an adventure it was! The array of ingredients at my disposal was truly impressive. Succulent slices of beef, delicate fish fillets, and an abundance of fresh seafood, including crab and oysters, beckoned me to dive in. The vibrant vegetables, ranging from crisp corn to leafy greens, provided a perfect balance to the rich, indulgent proteins.

As I expertly swirled each ingredient through the simmering broth, the flavors melded together in a harmonious symphony. The tender beef slices, the delicate fish, and the briny crab and oysters all contributed their unique characteristics, creating a hot pot experience that was both comforting and sophisticated.

But the culinary journey did not end there. Saving room for dessert, I indulged in the restaurant's signature pudding, a creamy, silky delight that perfectly rounded out the meal.

It is a celebration of authentic Cantonese flavors. Whether you're in need of a rejuvenating break from your Tsim Sha Tsui shopping excursions or simply craving a memorable hot pot experience, this restaurant is an...

Good value for money for a buffet hotpot with fresh seafood🦐🦞🦑🐟

🐷overall: 7/10

🍗Cheesy Chicken Pot This eat-all-you-can unlimited refill hotpot buffet meal began with a scrumptious bowl of cheesy grilled chicken pot that left me craving for more. The chicken pieces are tender and well soaked in a large portion of cheese which makes it an evil start of the meal.

🐙Seafood bowl The star of the show was the large bowl of fresh seafood that was served. It boasted an impressive selection, including succulent Vietnam Giant Tiger Prawns, plump Australia Giant Lobsters, tender Scotland Razor Clams, delicate Scotland Scallops, flavorful Abalones, and delectable Virgin Crabs. Each bite was a burst of oceanic flavors, perfectly cooked to retain their natural tenderness and juiciness. The seafood alone was worth the visit.

🍲Hotpot The hotpot broth, a Sichuan mala spicy broth, added an exciting kick to the entire experience. The fiery blend of spices and tongue-tingling numbing sensation elevated the flavors of the ingredients. More importantly, it is not too oily or greasy. The unlimited refill of beef briskets was a treat as well. The thinly sliced, marbled beef cooked to perfection in the bubbling broth, and again they are refillable! There was also the wide range of ingredients available for selection, from an array of fresh vegetables to an assortment of fish and meat options.

To complement the hotpot feast, there’s a pot of healthy Chinese soup but though I cannot really tell what soup is that. The refillable drinks were also a needed...
