Honestly it is over pricy. The food was okay but not amazing, not the kind of steam pot you would expect in China. The service was great tho. But the waiting time was long. You need to basically wait 3 to 7 minutes each time before the food is ready. Anyway it is not worth the money. Probably would never go again.

Great seafood selection. Rock crab and the flower clams are really good. Congee base to finish off your meal is yummy, especially adding a bit of the meat or preserved veggie sauce into the congee from the sauce station. Really good service. Only negative is there’s no English printed menu yet, only Chinese and they speak mandarin.

Kind of tired of hotpot so I’m really looking for something exotic, and yes, thriving steam pot provided me exactly what I wanted. As a first timer, we followed suggestion and opted for the fixed set — beef, assorted seafood, fish, and finally dumpling and veggie. We also ordered a crab for share. In the end, a pot of porridge cooked at the bottom was ready and it perfectly cleaned up my palate. Everything was super fresh and deliciously prepared. Enjoyed every single course. Fantastic place! Fairly priced as well.

FRESH and Original! That’s the word. When you are like my friend and I tired of spicy hotpot, tired of cold sushi in the winter, tired of greasy dishes… We want a healthy feast and here we found it!(Funny they told me this method is originally from my home town yunnan yet I never tried it before haha). Steaming hotpot is where good cooking materials meets healthy cooking method. Wide selection of materials and creative sauces are great for group gathering. I lost count of the sauces they have… But they have a few original creations — mushroom sauce(my friends favorite), beef meat sauce(my favorite), sweet wine sauce(for seafood), and fruit juice(paired with dumplings and other stuff). Food materials are presented origin and fresh! We basically loved all of them, but here is some highlights: Steamed seafood and fish — Stone crab — amazing! Sweet from freshness, super tender with a natural butter aroma. Awwww, I can eat 5 of this on a row! Porridge at the end — fresh, yummy, absorbed all the essence from the materials cooked before. My stomach loved it. Super healthy and satisfying! Dumplings — solid made. Looked so pretty after steaming for 6 mins… In the end, it is a reward to health and taste. Also kinda a warm alternative to sushi/sashimi I. My mind =) enjoy it and have fun! Owner is very friendly, checks with us how we enjoy our meal now and then.

First time tried this new hot pot style. Generally speaking, pretty good! Service is good, and the portions are generous.

It is a steaming hot pot system. They put rice on the bottom to have all the juice sink to the bottom and cook the congee. The food is ok, they are still in process of developing a better system. The service is good. They have an estimate of how much time it takes to cook the food. It’s worth trying but not sure if I would go again.
