Gangnam is my new favorite hotpot restaurant! I went with a friend for the AYCE lunch buffet special for $20 a few weeks after it opened. It was pretty astonishing how much was included--besides the hotpot, they offered appetizers like sushi, kimchi, shrimp tempura, and lots of other pickled and fried items. For dessert, there was ice cream, fried pumpkin cakes, fried coconut balls, and fresh fruit (watermelon, melon, honeydew), among others. In addition to all that, they had a case of canned and bottled drinks like Wang Lao Ji, soda, and soy milk. Was the prepared appetizers and desserts the best I'd ever had? No. Was the cut fruit ripe? No. But still decent and can't complain based on the price.
The hotpot itself was very good. The ingredients were fresh and abundant. There are some items that are only available for dinner, but the main meat, seafood, tofu, vegetables, dumplings, and noodles are all there.
I really liked the clean, calm, and pleasantly decorated interior with the booth seating. The staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, definitely a spot to return to with other family members in the future. They do have a discounted price available for kids.
