If I could I give it 10 stars. Tldr: Great food, amazing service, and lots of options. Will definitely eat there the next time I visit budapest.
The food was amazing, and since you make it yourself, there is almost no waiting.
We got the unlimited hotpot, which is slightly on the expensive end but completely worth it since you're allowed to take whatever you want, from dessert to sushi. There is also a broad variety of choices of meats and toppings for the hotpot itself. We even decided to spoil ourselves and got the Angus sirloin for extra cost, which was some of the best meat we have ever tried and definitely worth it.
We ate till we couldn't fit another bite. That is how good the food was, and the service was always ready to help with any questions or requests.
We also had a pretty waiter named Ibolya who was one of the most kindest waiters we have had while visiting, and she definitely made the visit even better. Can definitely recommend asking for her if you visit.
Now for the atmosphere, it was great and the decorations in the restaurant definitely help give an atmosphere that is worth experiencing.
Can only give this place my...
Read moreFor someone without any dietary restrictions, this place is absolutely amazing – the food is delicious and the concept is great. Unfortunately, as a celiac (I can’t eat gluten), I had quite a few problems. The menu shows allergens and they even offer a gluten-free soy sauce, but unfortunately the allergen labeling is NOT ACCURATE. Some gluten-containing items were not marked, while others were marked correctly. Since I currently have no symptoms, I honestly don’t even know how much gluten I might have eaten, but the risk was definitely there. The staff didn’t really know which dishes might contain gluten – they only warned me about sushi with tempura, but many others were marinated or made with regular soy sauce, which usually contains wheat. It would be better to simply tell a celiac that it’s not safe, rather than giving false reassurance and risking their health. I was at the restaurant with my girlfriend, who has a wheat allergy. She ate the gyoza dumplings, which were not marked with any allergens, and later we found out they actually contain gluten. Luckily, her allergy isn’t very strong, but still – the staff didn’t seem...
Read moreExorbitant Pricing: At 50€ per person, the cost was ridiculously high, especially for Budapest standards. It’s not what you’d expect to pay for a meal in the city, and certainly not for hotpot. Misleading ‘All You Can Eat’ Offer: The ‘all you can eat’ option turned out to be extremely misleading. The catch? You’re only allowed 200 grams of meat per person. This is hardly sufficient for a meal centered around hotpot, which traditionally focuses on a variety of meats. Limited Meat Options: The main issue was the severe limitation on meat, which is a central part of any hotpot experience. When most of what you can eat ‘unlimitedly’ is noodles, sushi, and other fillers, it feels like a bait-and-switch. Overall Value: Given the price and the restrictions on the menu, the value for money just isn’t there. You leave feeling both financially and gastronomically shortchanged.
In conclusion, this hotpot restaurant in Budapest is not recommended. The pricing is out of sync with the local dining scene, and the restrictive ‘all you can eat’ offer is a letdown. If you’re craving a fulfilling hotpot meal, you might want to...
