Came near closing time. They said they close at 10 but started packing up at 8. The food on the belt was not fresh, and has been there for hours. They had fish heads, chicken and mussels on the belt that you could tell have been out for who knows how long. Same with the veggies - to the point theyve gone brown !! The pots are too far from you on the table, and I noticed the seats on the outside you were basically touching food with your shoulders - the conveyer belt was LITERALLY beside you and the food were not covered. Someone could inadvertently sneeze/cough and get it on all the food. I grew up in Asia and I can say whole heartedly - THIS is unsanitary. The meat in the freezer were also not frozen? I'm a bit scared to know how long they were out. Definitely not coming back - not worth the price we paid. I was craving hotpot for weeks and this is what I decided to break it on and was so disappointed. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2 Price per person: $20–40

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations, and we would just like to clarify a few points.Our restaurant closes at 10:00 pm, and each dining session is generally 90 minutes. For this reason, our usual last entry is around 8:30 pm. On some occasions, if guests arrive around 9:00 pm and are happy with the timing, we may still welcome them and remain open until around 10:30 pm so they can enjoy their meal.If customers are still dining, we would not pack away the food at 8:00 pm. We normally only begin gradually packing items around 30 minutes before closing. Before doing so, our staff will speak with the customers who are still dining and let them know that we are approaching closing time. If they would still like anything from the conveyor belt, they are always welcome to let us know and our staff will bring the requested items directly to their table. We only begin packing once our remaining customers are comfortable for us to do so.Regarding the food on the conveyor belt, our team regularly monitors, replenishes and removes items throughout service to maintain freshness and food safety. This includes seafood, meat and vegetables. We also monitor our vegetables carefully and would not intentionally leave produce on the belt once it is no longer suitable for service.Each hot pot is positioned directly in front of the diner, and our chairs are movable rather than fixed, so guests are welcome to adjust their seating position for comfort.Cleanliness and food safety are very important to us, and our team works throughout service to keep the restaurant, dining areas and food displays clean and well maintained.In relation to the frozen meat, our freezers remain switched on and operating at all times, and meat used for replenishment is brought directly from our kitchen storage in a frozen state. Meat is intentionally kept frozen for proper storage and food safety. We have actually received feedback from another guest commenting that some of the meat appeared “too frozen”, so we were a little surprised to read the opposite suggestion that the meat was not frozen or may have been left out for an extended period. We can confirm that this is not how our meat is stored or handled.We’re genuinely sorry that you left disappointed, especially when you had been looking forward to hot pot. We appreciate customer feedback and will continue reviewing our service, food presentation and dining environment to provide a better experience for our guests.

Overall, it was an okay hotpot experience. The food was decent with a good variety of options, but there was room for improvement in terms of flavour and freshness. Service was average—staff were polite, but it could have been more attentive, especially during busy periods. The atmosphere was nice, although it felt a little crowded and busy. Not a bad place for hotpot, but there are definitely a few areas that could be improved. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2 Price per person: A$20–40
