And the array of vegetables provided a vibrant and refreshing balance to the meal.

another famous hot pot chain from China has arrived stateside. it's located in the new tangram shopping center. we came here around early dinner hours on a friday night with my family and there seems to be a wait already. we added ourselves to the list, looked over the menu, and were seated 10-15 minutes later. the restaurant decor is nice and it smells amazing as soon as we stepped in, but we couldn't stop sneezing after that lol. it's the peppercorns i tell you!

the server came over to took our broth order first (tomato, fungi, and mild on the spicy broth) while we deliberate on the rest of the ingredients. to order, just tick the boxes on the menu. we prefer this method because it's easy to see all the options at once. in the end, we got about 12 items total between 3 adults and a kid.

after ordering, we were off to make our own sauces. FYI, they do charge $2 per person for sauce. however, aside from sauces, they offer some apps (tripe in chili oil, edamame, crueller), fruits (cantaloupes, watermelon, cherry tomatoes), and desserts (red bean and purple sticky rice congee, jelly or bingfen) at the sauce station. so in the end, the charge didn't seem so unreasonable considering you're getting so much more.

pros: -tomato broth: very tasty, pairs well with everything! -spicy broth: super fragrant with lots of beef tallow had more depth than just spiciness alone. i like spicy foods and got it mild, but it was still pretty spicy for my palette. -handmade noodles: nice and chewy, soaks up the flavor from the broth really well -attentive service: servers were quick to clear empty plates and refill broths

cons: -limited protein options, no sliced pork of any kind -fatty beef was VERY fatty. could be a one-off situation because it did seemed like others had somewhat leaner beef. -shrimp dumplings: had lots of fillers and not as much shrimp. looks more manufactured than handmade by the restaurant.

we felt like the food was ok, but service and pricing seems fair. i do think it will get more and more packed as time goes on. definitely wouldn't mind returning when the hot pot...

We've been to this hotpot place since they opened. The food is good and the service during our first visit was amazing. This 2-star review is based on my last experience which was outrageous. We went on a Friday night with a party of 13 to celebrate my dad's birthday. Our party includes 2, 7,10,12, and 16yr old, and 8 adults. We tried calling for a reservation several times throughout the day and were told no reservations are taken that day but to show up around 5 pm since there will be fewer people. We showed up at 5 pm and waited 45mins before we were seated at our table.

They gave us a table that can comfortably sit 6 adults. Mind you that you do need arm room for hot pot and that's not including the food you order so table room should be considered. We asked if we can have 2 tables and were told no cause it was booked for 7 pm. This information was given to us by Ray, the manager.

Ray gave us 3 options: A- sit separately at a few small tables scattered throughout the restaurant. B- finish our meal in 1.5hrs before the next reservation shows up if we want 2 tables C- stay where we were.

It's just absolutely absurd that he thought a party of 13 can sit on a table of 6. These are square tables with 4 bench seats. We asked why they didn't prepare properly after having us wait 45mins that these were our options. His best response was that we have kids so we don't need a huge table. Our kids are eating and require seating no matter the age. We attempted to sit down to show him that this is not going to work yet 2 of us still can't squeeze in. There was no consideration, no organization, and no common sense made on his part, and he's the manager.

We wish we were told in advance that this was going to happen and not waste 45mins of our time waiting. And the worst part is that somehow in his rightful mind to think that it ok for such a huge party to squeeze in such a small table. Like who can seriously eat hotpot squeezed onto a bench.

There are SO many hotpot places in Flushing. If you have a huge party and want to sit comfortably, consider...
