So good!

I love this place I’ve been to both locations and everytime its great. Many many options, they have a veggie and tofu platter or you can order sides of exactly what you want. Comes with mild or spicy broth whatever you want. I totally recommend if you’re looking to try hot pot. Make sure you specify veggie based broth, it automatically comes with pork base if not! They seem to be able to do any broth with the veggie base.

Great Hot Pot Experience!

Waitress was very accommodating and pointed out what was vegan on the menu. All broths, save for the chicken and beef, are vegan friendly. The veggie delight is the combo option; it is piled high with fresh veggies, tofu, & meat substitutes.
Very satisfied overall! Great place to bring omnivores as well.

Pros: Broth can be separated safely in large pot., High quality veggies.

Cons: Spicy broth was very mild.

The best Shabu I've had in my life!

It's called Veggie Delight and that's truly what it tastes like. I has all different kinds of mushrooms and tofu varieties to get that protein in there!
