"The food was decent and they have a free boba deal before 5PM. My only gripe was our server was a bit unapproachable and not friendly."

"We started off ordering the hot oolong tea. While it tasted good, it was barely served like warm. The lychee lemonade with boba was tasty, but only had a couple of sips because the boba was disgusting. It was slimy, and very soft, as if it had been sitting in liquid all day. I've posted a picture of the boba, and you can see the lemonade turned very murky next to the boba. My fiance ordered the specialty hot pot. While the broth was tasty, most of the other ingredients were not good. The shrimp was not cleaned, and still contained the poop. I ordered the garlic and steak noodles. The best thing about that dish was the salad. The noodles were dry, and the steak overcooked. We asked for the boba tea to be removed from the bill, and the waiter said it would take about 10 minutes for him to get in touch with a supervisor to see if it could be removed from the order. Thankfully, they did remove that charge. While the atmosphere was very nice at the restaurant, I don't see us returning."

"This place stands out from others with fresher and more flavorful ingredients. While the dipping sauce might not be the most satisfying, the complimentary drinks make the whole experience worthwhile. It's practically the best Asian hot pot you can find in Southern California with pay less then $22 including tips."

"Nice and fun atmosphere. Steaks are good, but you have to eat them fast because it will keep cooking on the stone plate. The tonkotsu broth is not as rich as traditional broth but it is still very tasty. The eggs in the ramen are perfect."

"A newly opened modern Asian restaurant in the area. It was clean and modern. Loved the overall atmosphere. We tried their personal hotpot (beef), everything was cooked and a little flame was placed underneath to keep things hot. It tasted great and we loved it. Their shrimp garlic noodle was delicious. It was garlic forward (which we loved) and the noodles were cooked pretty well. The lava stone steak was fun to try. It came with three steak sources and the presentation was nice. It was not too bad, but would prefer saving up a bit more to enjoy a steak in a steakhouse instead. Same for their mashed potatoes. Go with rice (or fries) for starch would be a safer choice. These were not their specialties. Next time, we would definitely go for the hotpot (and possibly ramen)."
