  “Lovely staff and great food but we travelled all the way from Basingstoke to get what was advertised on the website as 30% off for the World Cup and when we got there they said that it was only for early June (we went 29 June) despite their being no mention of that on their website.”

  “Staf were very quiet but all very polite. You go in, mark off what you want and they collect your menue. It all comes out and you eat. Simple enough. Everything had english translations too. For the portions you get the price is realy decent too. Lovely decorations and it was nice and quiet. Staff periodically came to grab empty plates/bowls from you so you dont have multiple empties stacked up. Flavours were amazing. Only wish it had 2 things: Spoons/forks for those of us who struggle due to disability with hands And a description of what the broths taste like. Over all was a lovely place to visit, would definitely recomend it. Its nice to have something different in the area.”

  “Amazing experience. I came here for a date and I think it was the perfect place. The restaurant smells lovely, staff are really friendly, the food is reasonably priced for 2 people. You have a large selection of broths ranging from very spicy to not spicy at all, as well as lots of dishes to put with the broth. You also have a huge drinks menu available for almost anything you could want. Next time I'm in Southampton I would happily come here for Dinner/Lunch Thanks for the experience!”

  “Incredibly authentic food with great service and a lovely setting. I don't often leave reviews, but we are here this evening and couldn't have been happier (even my partner who turns their nose up at anything but chicken nuggets) was utterly taken with the quality and the flavour sof the food. Stunning all round. Wish we had this closer to home”

  “I’m in love! An absolutely amazing hot pot place. I lived in Asia for over 6 years, and this spot truly brought me back — the flavors, the atmosphere, the feeling… everything feels authentic and comforting. A little piece of Asia right here♥️”

  “Such an amazing experience. We highly recommend the golden soup base for hot pot. The meat and Seafood were fresh and delicious with the soup base and seasoning. The staff were absolutely lovely and refilled our soup base without asking everytime it vaporised a bit along with refilling the seasoning side ( garlic and soya sauce and more..) with no extra charges. Would also recommend to have some extra vigges and instant noodles if you're a noodles lover. Not to forget they have halal chicken and meat choices along with the soup bases as well. Prices are a bit high but the portions are big, it's better to go there as a group. Definitely coming back again!”

  “First visit here. Went with my son in law. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Quite a variety of different meats, some very strange to western palates, but a good choice of recognisable cuts. We had the Marbled beef which was served frozen and thinly sliced on ice. This was cooked in the broth for 30 seconds then dipped in the sauce. It's frozen for ease of serving and is absolutely fine. We also had prawn mash which is made into small balls then added to the broth for 2 mins as was the pork mash. For mash think of mince. The mushroom broth had lots of different mushrooms in. We also had a spicy broth which the server suggested we have milder, which was fine Served with Egg fried rice and a tiger beer. We went at 6pm and it soon filled up with local Chinese customers who were enjoying themselves. We were certainly full by the end of our meal. A great experience, just don't think you're going to a regular Chinese restaurant, it's an authentic Chinese Hot Pot restaurant. Plenty of vegetarian options available. Total cost for the two of us was £58.”

  “AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! The food was really amazing. We had a split broth hotpot- one bone and one spicy. They both tasted amazing. The spicy one was not too spicy, but definitely had a kick and tasted really flavourful. The bone one, meanwhile, was lovely and rich, deepening the flavours of the meat. We went for the beef lover platter. The set hotpot meals are definitely for at least four people- unfortunately, it was just me and my boyfriend so we didn’t end up finishing the meal, but they let us take away the rest of the meal free of charge!! Service was amazing, everyone was super friendly and we received food really quickly. They kept our broths topped up with hot water, and let us know the cook times for the food which they delivered at the start of the meal. I would 100% recommend this place. Well worth the hour drive!”

  “I am thrilled to share my newfound gem of a dining spot—a Chinese restaurant that has taken a fresh approach to serving its customers. This innovative journey into traditional Chinese cuisine has made its way to Southampton, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The restaurant's uniqueness lies in its interactive dining experience. Upon arrival, you're presented with an array of raw meats that you'll be cooking yourself. This concept puts you in charge of your meal preparation, adding a touch of culinary adventure to your dining experience. It's a departure from the usual restaurant setup and truly sets this place apart. As you're given the chance to cook the raw meats to your liking, you're essentially becoming a chef for the evening. This hands-on approach allows you to tailor your meal according to your preferences. The restaurant even offers the choice of spicing things up or keeping it mild, depending on your palate. Whether you're a fan of bold flavors or prefer a more subtle taste, you're in control of how your dish turns out. The thrill of watching your creation evolve from raw ingredients to a mouthwatering masterpiece is an experience to savor. It brings a new level of engagement to the dining process and fosters a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking. This innovative twist on traditional Chinese cuisine is an absolute delight. The combination of interactive cooking, the freedom to customize your dish, and the opportunity to explore different flavors makes for a memorable and enjoyable outing. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. It's a culinary journey that's well worth embarking on, and you won't be disappointed.”
