This place offers AYCE or a la carte. We chose the AYCE option (around $29/person), and they allow you to choose 10 items at a time. They have many item choices to choose from. Overall, experience is pretty good for the price! Place has a huge free parking lot. Comes with a sauce bar and some cold appetizers, and desserts.
Overall, a solid place. The sauce bar is a bit complicated but, experimentation sauce wise, is fun. It's a hot pot so you make it your self. We opted for a non spicy broth and it worked well. Service is a tad brusque but it's not a big issue. The day we went, the music was extremely loud which was a bother. Overall, a good place.
This hot pot was the best I've had in Washington, and definitely comparable to the best in Los Angeles! Family friendly too! Love that you can order from your phone!
Service was a bit slow but the environment was eye catching. The cuts of meats was one of the better ones and the Alley 9 special broil was a great mix of favor and spice.
This is one of our go-to spots. Food, service, and ambiance are on-point here! On a cold Seattle day, hot pot is always are great choice!
Been waiting to try hotpot in Washington and I think this is a great starter place for anyone who has never done hotpot before. With a dual broth pot, lunch time AYCE and the sauce bar, each person paid ~$35. This place is really easy to order from because it's straight off your phone so you don't have to wait for a server to come to you. Overall a nice place. We squeezed a group of 5 into a booth but I think it would've been easier with 4 or less. When you have the sauce and everything on the table, it gets crowded. Spicy bone broth was VERY spicy. Lots of peppers so be careful ! Also, friend with peanut allergy discovered that a lot of the sauces at the bar have peanuts in them (asked server) so *be careful for people with severe nut allergies*
We came in on a Tue around 8:10PM. Even though it was very close to their closing at 9PM, the staff was still very friendly and welcoming. We ordered off our cellphone - there was a place where you select the number of heads for all-you-can-eat, and you can order 10 items in the all-you-can-eat category at once. All-you-can-eat came with one soup base only - bone broth. If we wanted to order two soup bases or a more fancy soup base, it would be an additional cost. The sauce bar was an additional charge per person if you wanted to use the sauce bar. The staff's reminder that the last call for the kitchen was 8:30 PM was greatly appreciated. For all-you-can-eat priced at less than $30 per head, I felt it was cost-efficient and the food was delicious! I heard their take-out was also well portioned and priced. Def will try their take-out next time. The restaurant was spacious and clean. Parking was easy as there was a parking lot.
Hot pot with half spicy and half mild is a great way for newcomers to try and see which type they prefer. Fresh vegetables, assorted meats, tofu and noodles are available per your order and preference. This is classic Sichuan-style hotpot which my family and I love. I prefer the mala (numbing) heat and my family prefers the mild broth. But all of us like the wide variety of ingredients we can use to make it different and deliciously interesting every time. Check it out if you want the real deal.
Overall a 4.5! This place was a very solid ayce hotpot place! It wasn't as fancy inside as, say, Liuyishu but it also wasn't as expensive. Very affordable. Not as busy either, which was good cause my friend and I sat there for a while catching up and were able to do so without getting rushed or feeling bad for taking up a table. It was a little hard to find though - we were like do we drive into this elderly home area? Lol. The outside looks a little run down, but the inside is nice and bright. I would say ambiance and setting was more of a 4 - pretty solid but nothing mind blowing. The menu has the hot pot items that come with, and then there are some other items that you can pay extra for (like the noodles). The meat selection was fairly simple but the variety of stuff they had was nice and felt good for the price point. Their sauce bar was also pretty solid. I feel like this is a place I would def go to regularly if I lived here, but I'm not sure I'd come back as an infrequent visitor.
