Phone: (905) 370-1981

it's located just next to Esso on Hwy 7 & East Beaver Creek (just in front of Sheraton Hotel), where K Box used to be.. we think they didn't renovate the place at all, i.e. keeping the existing K-Box setup..

GF urged that we should go try this Hot Pot Restaurant, as she heard that they have Japan Wagyu Beef 日本和牛 & Shark Fin 魚翅.. but well, the Wagyu Beef is free if customers come before 7pm..

the price for AYCE Hot Pot is $18.99 each ($2 extra on weekends).. we were given a glass of 酸梅湯 each & the waiter will refill it once a while.. other drinks not included..

here were the sauces given to us..

the price included a Seafood Platter 海鮮盤, with Shrimps 蝦, Salmon 三文魚, Scallops 帆立貝, Enoki 金菇, Shitake Mushroom 冬菇, Shark Fin 魚翅群, etc.
..it said on the menu that there will be Oysters, but they gave us Scallops; & the Shark Fin was one piece per person.. it's small & ZA said it looked like 豬皮.. hmm.. nothing special with that.. GF said the seafood platter was just so-so as they gave us Frozen Salmon..

we ordered 4 different soup base: 皮蛋芫茜, 濃沙嗲, 麻辣, 栗米豬骨..
..GF, LG & i think that the soup base was just so-so.. their flavor were not strong enough..

Beef 肥牛 (see pic above), Lamb 羊肉, & 手切牛肉, which was marinated.. tasted good & tender..

there will be a lobster 龍蝦 for free if there are 4 or more people.. this was the highlight.. very fresh & 多膏.. (but they didn't give it to us until we asked for it towards the end of our meal..)

there were also homemade meat balls, e.g. 墨丸,牛丸,豬肉丸, ZA liked them all.. (but i still prefer the ones in 金稻, esp. the 魚蛋!!).. they liked the 醉雞翼 too.. the dumplings were good..

they have late night special 宵夜火鍋, which starts at 10pm..

the food in general was ok.. the beef was fresh.. (but i guess i will go back to 金稻 next time.. hee hee..) the restaurant was pretty clean.. but one thing, the floor could get very slippery, esp. in snowing days.. their service was just so-so.. we ordered some items but they never show up.. such as 煲仔飯, 福州魚丸 & 粿條.. + there is a 12% mandatory gratuity.. (i didn't notice that until looking at the menu now!!)

here are the menus..
