My second time visiting the restaurant. The price and quality is very good for in the city restaurants. I'm not a hot pot expert so both times, one of our Chinese friends was there and helped with ordering. The menu has a great selection of meat, appetizers, and drinks. It is ayce hot pot and ayce drinks. They have alcohol, Asian drinks, and soda. So I love that they have the variety. They also have ice cream for after. The staff are nice, food comes out quick and is a great place to have dinner with friends and family.

You can't beat $35/person for unlimited canned drinks (lychee/passion fruit juice, soy milk, milk tea, black tea, beer etc) AND all you can eat hot pot items AND all you can eat small plates! They have a bunch of different kinds of hot pot meats and veggies. Their small plates range from sashimi to cucumber salad to spicy intestine. Their sashimi was limited to 1 order but it was actually so fresh including salmon, shrimp, and scallop. Only docking one star since I do think their broths could use some improvement and it's a vital part of the hot pot experience! The house spicy broth was lacking in flavor and fragrance. The chicken feet broth was not bad, but didn't taste very rich. I relied heavily on my dipping sauce for flavor. I'd definitely recommend Grand Hot Pot Lounge though if you're hungry and want to have a good time with friends!

Perfect for a large group. We were a group of 10 and made a reservation for 5:45 on a Thursday night. We had three bowls of soup. One spicy, one mild, and one half and half. We had thought the half and half was a mid point in spiciness but it was actually a pot with half spicy and half mild broth. Next time we'd just order three of the half n half. It was easiest for one person to do all of the ordering and we got a spread of meats, noodles, and veggies. We were happy with how quickly everything came out and the broth was quickly hot enough to start cooking. Make sure you order the sesame balls! A member of our group was in white and the staff brought out an apron to help them from staining their shirt. We all laughed when he told us his children don't spill on themselves! The self serve drink fridge, variety of sauces, and self serve ice cream were all great. All you can eat and all you can drink for $45 each. We all left super full. One thing to note is they have moved locations so the photos in the red room are of the old space. Make sure you navigate to the new location!

We came here on a Monday at 4pm and the guy charged us for a lunch instead of dinner even though dinner service started at 4pm. The lunch was around $25 per person excluding tax. There were only about 6 people here all together. The food came out almost instantaneously. This place serves all you can drink, all you can drink alcohol is only with the dinner service. They have soy milk and grass jelly drinks along with other tropical canned drinks and your normal sodas. Unlike other places you have a communal pot. This is more family style than normal hot pot places. Dinner is about $10 more but has more options when it comes to appetizers. The meats for the most part were pretty good. They also have frog legs here which is different. I didn't try it but my boyfriend said it tasted like chicken. The appetizers were pretty good! (Honey walnut shrimp was on the menu) over all pretty good experience.

Came here for the first time in a while with a group of friends for a weekend dinner. It was $35 + tax per person AYCE, including drinks and made to order appetizers. We selected two soup bases, one spicy for meats and one vegetarian. We checked off items on a paper menu that we wanted, and they'd come on a raised platter that was placed next to our table. The service would bus leftover plates, cans, and utensils pretty quickly. For sauces and getting non-water drinks, there was a sauce station and also a drinks fridge where we could grab our own sauces and drinks. I had a great time, found the food satisfactory for the price, and the ease of the hot pot experience here to be easy and great. Will definitely come again!

Came around 4pm and it was very empty for an ayce restaurant, which was great because there was no wait and the service was quick. Most of the food came out after a couple minutes, couple items were missing but it's fine because it's ayce and you can just reorder. All the food and the broth tasted fantastic. There is a good selection of meats and lunch appetizers, there's even more for dinner. The fridge drinks are very different from the regular restaurant drinks, making it fun and interesting. Would come back especially for dinner

Recently been here twice since they moved to their new location - 4134 Geary (next door to Brothers Korean BBQ.) Great AYCE hot pot experience. Their broths are so good also. The meat selections are fresh, delicious, they give a generous portion. I really like all the other selections like all the veggies, seafood, etc. Self serve ice cream. A bit iffy about this, but you can always skip. Service is efficient and friendly. Ambiance is nice as it seems newly remodeled. Comfortable sitting and nice bright interior. They share same space as Wasabi bistro. No more karaoke at this location.
