Such a fun and tasty experience. Been here with a group of people and also have dined alone. Both experiences were great. Starting off yoh scan the QR CODE to order your broth(s) , meats, and drinks. Service is very on point. Rest of the vegetables, skewers, noodles, and sauces you grab on your own. Everything tastes and looks very fresh. Plenty of options from your basic sliced meats to your more fun options like organs or gizzards. All the broths are well flavored. Food is great. Would definitely come again and have been going lol. So highly recommend this skewer hot pot experience versus your typical hot pot with sliced meats only. Just know if you dine solo there is an extra $3.99 service fee.

5 stars for service! Everyone working was super attentive and took dirty plates almost immediately. Food was also brought out quickly. The restaurant wasn't very busy so there was no wait on a Sunday. It was $35 per person and we were excited to find out that you get one free soda per person. They have a lot of skewer options and some sliced meats and other things you can order by scanning the QR code on your table. Unfortunately it has been a few weeks since I dined here and I can't really remember what I got but my favorites were the duck blood and wide potato noodles. The sliced meats were a little beefy and the skewered meats were just okay. The mussels tasted too much like the ocean but the shrimp balls were good. I wish their fried mantous were replenished more frequently because they were cold when we got there and didn't see anymore come out before we left. Sauce options were solid!

This might be my fav hot pot place. Sauce bar is stocked, meat quality is great, and there's a good variety of ingredients to choose from. Personally, I love the enoki beef skewers and the tomato+spicy broth combo. I also love to end my meal with the sweet rice cakes. Service is good, and the theming of the restaurant is honestly pretty cute. MLBB isn't as overrated as other AYCE hot pot places so there's never really a wait, and it's not too loud and crowded inside.

Been here a couple of times. Both times have been tasty. Service has been great each time. Love that you get to go get your own skewers and there's a wide selection of skewers to choose from. You could literally just grub off the skewers and not even order any of the sliced meats. Not that there's that much to choose from. If you're doing the basic all you can eat, there's only like 4 meats to choose from. But like I said, plenty to choose from with the multiple fridges of skewers to get your belly's nice and full and happy! Only thing lacking for me is there's no eggs. Quail or chicken eggs. Which I think they should have. The restaurant itself is kept very clean and tidy. The sauce bar is basic, but has enough for anyone who wants to experiment.

I went here for a friend's birthday, and I think the place might've undergone a revamp? It's now AYCE. The restaurant has a cozy, charming vibe, though the elementary-style tables make the seating feel a bit cramped, especially for taller or larger adults--something to keep in mind. The staff was super friendly and attentive. They noticed we had a cake with us and kindly offered to refrigerate it. They also explained the process and let us pick our complimentary drinks. One thing to note: you order your soup bases and some of the meats through your phone. It can be a little confusing at first, but the staff is happy to walk you through it. Other food items are available for self-service from the fridge area, which was convenient. Overall, I'd definitely come back! Just a heads-up--when they say spicy, they really mean spicy!

This plaza offers ample parking, spacious restaurant with cutesy decor that reminds me of having hot pot in China and a convenient service bell. You can place orders through your phone, and they have a sauce bar along with a fridge stocked with skewers and a variety of veggies and meats. They are currently offering an AYCE option that includes one drink. The service was excellent and attentive; our server, Oliver, was very friendly and even remembered my friend from a previous visit. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area.

We came for their AYCE hotpot and we were very impressed. The service was quick and friendly, with the lady answering all our questions and guiding us on how to order and where everything was. The place is very nicely decorated and it was a fun place to eat. They even have a cute mascot at the door. We got the traditional ox Spicy butter and mushroom broths and they were both delicious (the spicy ox was delicious but I couldn't handle it for too long and was grateful for the mushroom soup). I wanted to eat more of the spicy one but the mango slushee and plum juice we had, albeit delicious, couldn't really help my tongue recovery quickly. Wish they had some kind of dairy drink to help with the spice. We tried all their meats and skewers and my absolute favorites were the BEEF ENOKI MUSHROOMS and the FISH BALL WITH ROE inside. I kept going back for more. The ICE JELLY was an awesome dessert for the end of our meal. Overall we were very happy when the food, the service, and the price. Definitely coming back to this place soon.

MLBB's Hot Pot was an unforgettable experience, bursting with fiery flavors lots of selection. Known for their fiery Mala spice, each bite was a thrilling dance of heat and zest that left my taste buds in agonizing desert like heat. On their last day, we were lucky to snag the cozy karaoke room, adding a delightful and intimate charm to our evening and long talks of throwback songs. The atmosphere was electric, and the food was a blazing symphony of spices that I'll crave forever. A bittersweet farewell to a spicy haven that will be deeply missed.
