We booked in advance, and only had to wait a couple of minutes for our table. The place was full, on a cold Saturday night.Environment is pleasant -- cleaner and more modern than many local hotpot joints. We ordered a "duo" hotpot, with their signature broth (clear consomme with various veggies and tofu) and a "Malaysian satay" (not very spicey but lots of garlic gave it a great flavor). We enjoyed the variety and contrasting tastes of this combination.Some really excellent hotpot dishe

We ordered a "duo" hotpot, with their signature broth (clear consomme with various veggies and tofu) and a "Malaysian satay" (not very spicey but lots of garlic gave it a great flavor). We enjoyed the variety and contrasting tastes of this combination.
Some really excellent hotpot dishes:
-- Pork-and-chive dumplings
-- Fried bean curd skin
-- Ostrich meat
-- Scallops
We found the Angus beef to be too fatty for our taste. (My companion said I should have ordered the "local" beef, which is a bit more expensive but also more lean. Live and learn....)
Thoroughly enjoyable food in a pleasant environment. The price was not cheap -- at $420 for two people it was about double what our local hotpot restaurant costs.
Note: This is not the place for people sensitive to MSG. After the meal, we all noticed a distinct "dry-mouth" sensation typical of MSG. It wouldn't stop me from going back, but people who are highly sensitive should look elsewhere.
