Customer Reviews
“ Ayce skewers & hot pot. Its self serve, you grab skewers in the fridge & scan the qr code on the table for any addtl costs. They're a little slow serving the items from the menu, but quick & refilling skewers. Sichuan flavors are spicy, would go easy on the dipping sauces. ”
“ Absolutely delicious hotpot with a perfect balance of spice and flavor! The ingredients are fresh, the restaurant is spotless, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommend for hotpot lovers! ”
“ I visited this place on Saturday afternoon and was thoroughly impressed by the authentic Sichuan Chengdu hotpot. It’s an AYCE for $35 per person over the weekend. You have the option to pick skewers directly from the refrigerator or order additional dishes over the phone. I was surprised to see it wasn’t crowded when I went, but in my opinion, the food is excellent and the service top-notch. The pricing is undoubtedly reasonable. While the restaurant is nestled in a quaint plaza, it’s easy to find. I’m very anticipating my next visit! I wanted to show some support for this new business in Daly City, especially since I had such a delightful experience. ”
“ I love coming here, the service is nice and friendly. The food is good and delicious, love their pork with enoki mushrooms. The sour veggies is delicious too. Tomato soup for hot pot is always my favorite, I would ask if they can add some tomato in can for more flavor though. But other than that, I always enjoy coming here again and again. Plus parking is great plenty to park ”
“ We really enjoyed our dining experience here. The owner is very nice and made sure to meet our needs. The food was delicious. The mala broth was really good! Also, these buns are soo soooo good. AYCE! ”
“ Great hidden gem. My husband and I came here for lunch. I would recommend this place to anyone. Although, everything is mostly self served I love how it was clean and the owner is still attentive to customer service. ”
“ The service was great (my wife does all the speaking but the waiter did speak some English). The ma (numbing) broth was very unique and was our favorite over the spicy that we usually trend towards. It has exceptional flavor, a nice floral taste, and that numbness that was advertised. The meat selection is fun and has what you would expect from hot pot. The skewers were the highlight, I loved that the vegetables bring the stock along so that when you bite in, it tastes like the soup and keeps the meat moist! The dessert options had a fried mochi with soy sauce glaze and fried mantou that I would've been happy just snacking on without any other food. The place feels like home and doesn't feel very rushed on a calm Sunday evening. It was a nice way to unwind after a busy Sunday. ”
“ Came here on Saturday for late lunch and there was no wait. The hot pot dishes were delicious and the owner was very friendly. AYCE is a plus, which is $36.99 for weekends and holidays, $32.99 for weekdays dinners and even cheaper for weekday lunches. We liked the original spicy soup base and the skewers. ”
