My favorite Sichuan hot pot/skewer place in Orlando! Now they are AYCE. It makes dining even easier. Food is declious as usual and staff are always very friendly. My friends and I pick spicy and nonspicy options so everyone gets to enjoy the dinner!

My family love this place, especially my 3 year old daughter. Their meat is fresh, veggies are clean. The staff is super friendly, and carefully taking care of my daughter! Now they have all you can eat, have to come back for more. Great for friend’s reunion as well.

Discovered this Chengdu skewers hot pot spot. Having been to Chengdu, this place is a real deal. Both the numb-and-spicy broth and the peppery pork stomach soup base are truly authentic. The server told me they made the soup base daily. We had quite a few spoonful of the peppery soup before we started cooking the food and it was really tasty. The duck blood curd was silky and a rare find in Orlando. The beef skewers were full of flavor, and I loved the frozen tofu soaking up the spicy broth. We also ordered the crispy fried pork bites. They were crunchy and went well with the chili flake powder. The side dishes were equally good. Can’t stop eating the crunchy peanuts and the chips. The sauce station offered a variety of condiments. Adequate for the hot pot skewers. Will definitely go back again.

Wanted to try and a new hot pot place that was not a buffet, so I found this place on Colonial. Customer Service- The service was excellent. I went in at noon and was the first customer. The server greeted me immediately, explained everything in really great detail, and made great recommendations. Food- I ordered 2 broths the spicy beef butter and pork bone. Both were delicious. The spicy one was exceptional ! There are skewers of meat and limited vegetables you can pick from. A lot of the meats do have more than 1 skewer attached, so be aware of the pricing. The skewers can add up. The best items I had here were the beef items. Everything else was nothing special. Quality/Value- Each skewer was .35 , small plates-3.99, and sauce bar 2.99. I think this restaurant really needs to reevaluate its pricing. I had to laugh at literally being charged .35 for one piece of seaweed or cauliflower... The small plates had a few limited items, but nothing was worth the $4 The meats often had 2-3 skewers so you were paying .70 for 1 piece of thin meat. If you're into seafood, this is not the place to go. The 1 shrimp on a skewer were pretty sad. Just the variety in general was disappointin

Went here for lunch and to check it out as it is a new restaurant. First impression is that it is very cool. The food is kind of hotpot style and the food flavors are rich and spicy. I will say take the staffs advice on the food I like a good spicy level on my food so my first thought was spicy hot. They recommend possibly medium spicy. And I have to say they lead me to the right choice. Huge than you to Le Le and Stephanie they were fantastic. They were very patient and answered all our questions. As for the food the pricing is very good and based on an interesting system of where you have access to pre-made skewers that are to be placed in the hot pot to cook. At the end they count the total skewers and total the bill. They also have a self serve area for sides and sauces. They really have a great decor and you feel comfortable, but also transported to a trendy Chinese restaurant. Just go they’re and you will know what I mean, it absolutely worth a try.
