Located in Pembroke Pines off University just north of Pines in the Publix shopping plaza, this hot pot spot isn't like the previous hot pot places I've been to before. Unlike the other ones where you do the cooking and choosing and it's all you can eat, this restaurant serves premade hot pot combos, ramen, hot appetizers, desserts, and teas/boba. There is plenty of parking around since it's in a shopping plaza but it also may be a bit of a walk if the plaza is busy.
Staff and food was quick but with that quickness got one of our items wrong. However also due to the quickness, the right thing was brought out pretty prompt. Kudos to the cool presentation of the pot, it really elevates the meal. However the sterno used to keep the pot hot can get quite high and a little concerning about you getting caught in it. They offer many premade pots with quite a large amount of items included in them which you can ask for items to be removed or added in. I asked for my pot without tripe but there was still a few pieces inside. I don't think any of us were wowed by our pots or the broths, my spicy certainly wasn't. It seems as though much of the stuff is probably premade in a generic broth and then assembled in the pot you order. With that, the items inside don't have a developed blended flavor. My daughter was super excited to finally find mango sago and while she enjoyed the flavors mostly, it didn't look like the photo on the menu and was more liquidy than she's seen it before. Overall there were probably too many misses for us to return foe hot pot but maybe if we were in the area, we'd give it another try for ramen and apps.
