Man, what a wonderful addition to the Fort Collins dining experience.
I stopped in for Hot Pot and the selection was wonderful and very reasonably priced! The spicy broth had the nice Szechuan heat that I have been missing from other hot pot restaurants without being too overly topped with chili oil for spicy flavouring.
The selection of meats was great and they all came out in perfect sizes for rapid cooking in the broth. Even though the individual portion sizes were small for an ayce, the staff was attentive and made sure to continuously check if we wanted to order anything more.
The Selection of the vegetables was honestly stunning. The variety available alongside how fresh and clean each of the options were showed a high level of care that went into the prep work. They had several options that they labelled as BBQ if you wanted to do the Korean Barbeque instead so that you avoided getting too thick of vegetables that take forever to cook in the pot.
There was also a decent selection of seafood that was more impressive than most other hot pot restaurants I've been to.
The sauce bar: This, in my opinion, is what can make or break the hot pot experience. Luckily, the selection was varied for everyone in my party to be able to find unique flavors to enjoy alongside being very clean and tidy. One thing that really stood out to me was the individual squeeze bottles that help prevent spillage of some of the more runny sauce components (soy, sesame, oyster etc.).
Overall this is a great place to stop in and my only complaint was the music being a little loud, but as more people came in it was less noticeable.
As I mentioned above, this is an EXCELLENT addition to the Fort Collins dining options that I think...
Read moreThis was my first visit to a hot pot restaurant. The menu is simple, you decide if you want some beef or chicken, then go to a wall of open coolers to choose your vegetables, noodles, seafood and sauces. The food items were fresh and my beef broth was simple and light. Here is where my adventure went very south. I believe the ingredients I chose, based on my known allergies, were not isolated from the vast shellfish array. After arriving home my face and body puffed up and I had shortness of breath, and the next day I had hives popping up all over my face and neck. Here we are a week and a half later, I’ve been to my doctor who confirmed it is contact dermatitis. Sounds not life-threatening but I could not show my face at work, and it hurts a lot! My point is even a clean and friendly restaurant, such as this, can be a real hazard for those allergic to shellfish. Sorry I won’t be back but I do...
