"We found our new favorite Chinese hot pot spot in Bristol! It’s à la carte (not buffet), which we actually love, the menu isn’t overwhelming and everything is easy to order by scanning the QR code on the table. You order and pay online and the food comes out within minutes, ready to cook at your table. The soup base and sesame sauce were both so delicious! The service was excellent the staff were very friendly and helpful. We’re already planning to come back once a month!"

"I had a great time. Spicy broth with good heat and every portion was a lot bigger than we expected so it's good value. Frog legs was my favourite and duck tongue was one of my friends favourite. Paid about £35 but we ordered so much and we got 1 hour and 45 mins in there."

"Really filling and great value for money. The portions were big and we definitely left full. The food came out quite quickly and the service was overall good. The only downside was having to pay extra for the sauce, even though it was only 99p. A lot of places include sauces for free, so that wasn’t something we really appreciated. Aside from that, it was a good experience overall."
