8.0
An all-you-can-eat Thai hot pot upstairs from Roosevelt Ave foot traffic, where broth choice and dipping sauces do the heavy lifting. The move is to split two broths, pace your protein rounds, and never skip the garlic fried rice add-on.

Tom yum broth, Yentafo broth, Garlic fried rice

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very competitive after 6pm on Roosevelt Ave. Budget extra time or consider rideshare/subway.
Dress code: Casual and practical—jeans and sweaters are common. Dress for comfort and heat from the hot pot.
Noise level: Moderate to loud—energetic group chatter and boiling pots make it better for groups than quiet conversations.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes during peak cold-weather nights, longer for larger groups
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable broths, tofu, mushrooms, and greens work well within the hot pot format.
Vegan options: Possible with planning—stick to vegetable broth and plant-based add-ins; confirm broths are animal-free.
Gluten-free options: Partially—proteins and vegetables are safe, but some sauces and broths may contain gluten; ask before ordering.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual or adventurous first date than a romantic one—the interactive cooking and noise create energy but limit intimacy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes for small groups on weekdays, but weekends and cold nights are busy—expect a wait or come early.
Is it kid-friendly? Best for older kids and teens who enjoy interactive meals; boiling pots make it less ideal for very young children.
Best For
Better for: AYCE value, bold Thai broths, and long group meals where pacing and customization matter.
Skip if: You want a quick dinner, quiet ambiance, or refined Thai plating—choose a traditional sit-down Thai kitchen instead.
