Steamboat — Restaurant in Belfast

Food wise: The hot pot was okay. Not impressive nor bad. we had separate pots. hotpot is normally a sharing pot in the middle but instead we had small pots separately. A bit of inconvenience. my husband and I were passing our pots back and fourth between us. Though the options are okay, Several items were missing at the buffet because it was busy evening and the refill was slow. another thing was the location of Buffett.. it was not centrale.. it was near the entrance/exit rather very odd and a bit far from some of the tables. Our table was on the far side unfortunately.

The dessert we had was an ice cream and dog shaped pudding.. though it looked nice it didn’t taste good. Ice cream was flavorless .. it had yellow color not sure if its mango or lemon but there was no flavor. Not only tasted cheap but it also felt like it was old and maybe uncovered. Extremely disappointed with the ice cream. Pudding wasn’t good either! Lacked flavor.

I wish if they paid attention to flavor as much as they did to the presentation of it.

Service: staff are friendly but slow ( when we were dining the restaurant was almost fully booked) so maybe weekend is not a good time to go there.

Atmosphere..rather strange.. We had to share a table with 2 strangers though we booked a table for 2 ahead of time , we were given a large table for group and later on two strangers who came without booking were seated next to us. The waiter told the strangers sorry we put you in this table because you didn’t book ahead of time and its fully booked today..

To myself I thought thats bull .. because even when you booked a table a head of time .. the staff didn't arrange it for is. P.s we had flexible schedule so the staff suggested an 7 pm and we agreed.

Anyways, despite all this.. we planned to give it 4 stars because those were minor inconveniences likely because its a busy weekend

BUT

On the way out just before we leave we went to use the toilet and it was not clean and there were No toilet papers!!!!! So that dropped a star down unclean bathroom with no toiletries .. ruined our dining...

A great Chinese restaurant with all you can eat BBQ. Busy at peak times so you may need to book, and we find it's usually a two hour sitting. A good social meal for three to six people. The food quality is great and the staff very accommodating, on hand often to top up the soup.

If you haven't tried oriental BBQ then this is the place to try it. Friendly staff will explain how to enjoy it but here's the basics: Sit down and order a soup base. This is yours, will arrive soon and is kept boiling in front on you by a heating element on the table throughout your meal. Throw vegetables, meat and pasta in here then scoop them out when they're done to your liking. The central BBQ grill is shared with your group and you can cook whatever you want in it. The food is all in one area and you should load up a few plates (depending how many of you there are) of meats and veg to set on your table so it doesn't slow down your feasting. You'll prolly still need to go up for more. There are also various spices and herbs to make up your own dipping sauce. You don't have to but it's worth trying, and the staff will recommend if...

First time visiting Belfast and found this all you can eat hotpot and bbq with free dessert for £22.88 per person.

We arrived 30mins after they opened and the food looked fresh and there was a wide variety.

There was seafood, beef, lamb, tofu, seaweed, noodles, vegetables, fish balls and a make your own sauce bar.

There were cooked food in the form of pickled chicken feet and kimchi, neither were to my liking maybe they are not as fresh.

Overall, it was value for money for us due to the variety of meats, vegetables and seafood.

The total bill was £52.16 with drinks. (Cash only)

When we left, the place was filling up and I'm glad we arrived early.

*some comments mentioned food poisoning - after reading those comments prior to eating there, we were extra cautious with mixing utensils and separated cooked with raw food. We also arrived early expecting the food to be extra fresh, which it was. So far, we are feeling well and there are no signs of any sickness.

They do have an a la carte menu if hotpot and bbq are not...
