My friends and I decided to meet up for dinner in June, and after picking between a few restaurants, we settled on having steam pot. I called the restaurant and made a reservation for the 3 of us, but one of us got sick that day and had to cancel, so I called the restaurant to change the reservation and didn't have any problems up to this point.I arrived at the restaurant at 7:55pm for our 8pm reservation, and the server at the hostess stand said the table wasn't ready which was fine since my r
I arrived at the restaurant at 7:55pm for our 8pm reservation, and the server at the hostess stand said the table wasn't ready which was fine since my reservation was for 8. Then, my friend showed up 15 minutes later, and the table still wasn't ready, and the server told us it would be ready soon; they were just waiting for the patrons to leave as they have already paid. Then, it was 8:20pm, and still no table, the server, then proceeded to tell us that there's a discount after 8:30pm, and since we've waited so long already and the table still wasn't ready we figured, we might as well wait for the discount. We kept waiting and waiting, and finally, we had a table at 8:40pm!
We were seated at a round table that was awkwardly placed right next to a pillar, as in the table was touching the pillar, and the servers kept running into our chairs that we had to shuffle the chairs around. Actually, the servers were complaining that our seats were in their way, so we had to move the chairs around.
We placed our food order quickly as we were both very hungry at this point!
The restaurant is set up that it's a semi-buffet, where you get to pick 5 types of seafood, and the meat items and vegetable items are all you can eat. The set included a choice of 3 soups, but we had only 1 choice as the other two were sold out.

The server started the steam pot by adding the ingredients for our chosen congee, which was the Chinese yam and dried scallops congee.
Next, I went to the seasonings bar to concoct my sauce mixtures. The beverage fridge was right behind the seasoning bars, which offered a decent variety of drinks, but they didn't have anything that was sugar-free.For our seafood, we selected the baby geoducks, abalone, razor clams, Japanese giant scallops, and mud crabs, and the mixed shellfish plate and lobster were complimentary items that came with the meal.

Even though this steam pot restaurant was a semi-buffet, we didn't feel like it was such a good deal at $400 per person. They were understaffed, and the servers were not very attentive and quite rude at times. Half of our food was overcooked since the servers were not paying to attention to our table when the timer would go off. The 40 minute wait time even though I made a reservation was outrageous! For the same value, there are plenty of other steam pot choices that offer better food and service.
