One of the best hotpot places I've experienced in terms of food. Food tastes great, service is good, and ambiance is okay.I saw parking can be challenging since I didn't see many places to park. I got lucky though. I happened to see someone trying to get out of the parking lot and got the spot. It was perfect timing. We came around 5pm on a Saturday. Good thing we did because when we finished eating there was a lot of people waiting to be seated. Make sure to get there at off-peak times.

Food - dim sum of great. Hot pot did not have much appetizing broths and did not have Napa cabbage readily available. Service - not good, not attentive.Ambiance - hectic and busy. Older Asians are rude. Parking is the worse. Little to no spots available. Can only share one hot pot even for 4 people? Does not give options if you want different broths.Also, you cannot have different people choose dim sum OR hot pot. Everyone has to order same AND if you want both, cost $5 more per person!

My friend and I love Shabu and we were looking for something different and saw this hot pot place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We came on a week day around late lunch and had no problem getting a table. There were several patrons in the restaurant but we received fast service when we sat down. The selection was good for broths and we liked the meat pricing break down. Often you can't get higher cuts of meat at places like this (or Shabu) at lunch but only certain times of the day. The bar had less veggie options than I'd like and pictures that were shown online didn't quite match the selection. The hot bar had several options but only some of these items were being kept hot which left food cold in several trays. Loved the drink machine being accessible and not having to wait for refills. Atmosphere was fun inside with all the lanterns on the ceiling. I'm sure kids would be amused by this also. Service was a bit on the slow side. We had to ask 3 times to get a second round of meat, having only 5 trays total between the 2 of us. This didn't seem to be a problem at other tables. Overall I would come back here but do like other places locally a bit more. I am interested in the dim sum option. If you are also, know in advance that it is only offered in the morning from 9-11.

Wanted to try the all you can eat dim sum and landed on Happy AYCE. They ask you to start with a buffet hot food items such as noodles, fried rice, friend wonton, egg roll, etc. tried not to eat too much of this as we came for the dim sum. Finally rolled the dim sum cart and they have the usual stuff - sio mai, ha kao, sticky rice, steamed spare ribs, cha sio pao, chicken feet, xiao long pao, etc. the dim sum was so so although plentiful and eat as much as you can - you just have to wait a bit for the carts to come out.Overall, for the price - $16pp, the ambiance (typical Chinese restaurant) and the limited parking space, I would go back for it. They also have hotpot buffet if you prefer but different price.

Clean and modern environment!Fair price with many options of meats, they also have a pick up bar with side dishes, fried noodles, spring rolls etc.......We went with the best of both worlds soup base, and the second tier of meat which are satisfying me and my friend.No complaints with the service, Although this is not my favorite hot pot place, but it worth to try!

I decided to get dim sum with some friends, and they wanted to try the AYCE Hot Pot for breakfast. We got there just as it opened at 9:00 am, so there weren't many people there yet. There is an area with a variety of cold foods, including buns, fried rice, noodles, and sesame balls. Drinks cost an additional $1.50. When the waitress pushes the dim sum cart, we have a lot of dim sum dishes. To me, the dim sum stuff feels like it was microwaved and doesn't appear freshly prepared. The food here tastes average; it's okay. This place has a fair pricing. Instead of the dim sum, I'll return for the hot pot.

Happy AYCE Hot pot is a place not to be missed if you've got a big appetite! It is not for the faint of heart due to their many different food selections you can choose from. You can't either add your party to their waitlist on the Yelp app or on the iPad when you arrive. Wait time was roughly about 30 minutes for us. First thing we noticed is the tight walkways while walking to your table. It will be quite a tight squeeze and challenging for stroller or wheelchair accessibility. The ambiance of the place is quite casual and a little smokey from the hot pot. We had came during a holiday and got the $24.99 hot pot and added $5 more for AYCE dim sum as well. First the hot pot, you get to pick what kind of soup base, noodles and vegetables are at a separate counter. I'm quite impressed with the selection of noodles, vegetables, chow mein, rice, orange chicken, mabo tofu options just to name a few! They have a lot of AYCE options.What I'm not so impressed about was the dim sum as the har gaw, shiu mai, and xiao long bao were hard and not fresh. They seem to have been sitting there for a while. The only thing I found edible was the char siu buns. But quite honestly for $5 more, I shouldn't be asking for too much haha.Overall, the experience here was Ok. Felt like the lanes and seats were very tight, you'll be brushing the your elbows with your neighbor if you're into that sort of thing. I loved the hot pot, hot foods and dim sum were kind of dry. But you can always wash it down with soda for $1.50 more haha.

I had heard about the all-you-can-eat (AYCE) dimsum here, so decided to come and try for the breakfast price (Mondays through Thursdays before 11:30AM) of $15.95 per person. Dimsum is served the whole day, just at a higher price point later, and there is also AYCE hotpot (most of the patrons were there for hotpot from my observation).There are a few dedicated parking spots for the restaurant outside, but not that many. We were lucky to snag one. The interior is spacious with nice enough decor. Service was actually fairly attentive and friendly.As for the dimsum itself, I've definitely had better but you can't beat the value at this price. They even still had a push cart. I was a bit disappointed that there was no daikon radish or taro cakes available that day (even though they were on the menu), plus was told that steamed beef tripe (omasum) was only available on weekends. That left about 12 dimsum items total to order from.Fortunately, the AYCE dimsum also comes with access to the hot food bar, fruit, and a few desserts. Unlimited drinks can be added for an additional $1.50/person. I left satisfied and full, and wouldn't mind returning to try their hotpot.

A panoptic dim sum experience perfect for an early morning ayce feast. Their dim sum options include corner stone favorites and even off menu items. My family arrived for a 9:45am reservation which seemed like perfect timing since it got more packed as it got closer to lunch time.Their capacity was at maybe 50% so the service was very fast, food was steaming fresh, and the lines at the hot food/drink counter were non existent. I enjoyed the overall ambiance. Their modern, leathery booths were very comfortable. The sleek white marble-like tables were spotless and there were tons of lanterns lit with strobe-like lights to make it a very exciting meal.My favorites from their dim sum were the chicken feet, pork spare rib, and sweet egg custard buns. Their egg custards were so unique is a black bao bun, the inner yolk was buttery and bit runny but so sweet with a mild egg flavor. It was perfect! Another honorable mention were their wings from the hot food counter. They were crisp and surprisingly juicy!!! Such a good flat with amazing umami flavor.I also enjoyed a new item I had never had know as fa gao. It was a simple ingredient item but had a nice spongy texture with soft sweet bread inside that didn't need any other fancy presentation. Its simple presentation and amazing subtly sweet flavor was perfect. This is easily the best deal on quality dim sum for anyone looking for a steal ayce option. I'd certainly be back, the options were all very flavorful and had an item for every flavor craving. I'm counting down the days for our next visit.
