My favourite restaurant for hot pot! Definitely a gem in the city. I love the satay broth and all the many options of fish balls and an excellent variety of fresh meats and veggies. In the sauce department the xo and peanut butter sauce is amazing and the chopped chillies in a vinegar like sauce is soo delicious and brings such great flavour to anything that accompanies it. I absolutely love it here, it really has a nice welcoming environment and the manager is very nice as well. I always look forward to my next visit.

Bangkok is a hidden AYCE hotpot off Kingsway. (Truly, if we didn't know to look for it, I'd never know it was there. It's tucked away on a side road surrounded by residential streets!) But there it was, this bright green little gem. It's not as modern as other places, but the food was fresh and topped up on the buffet + even though not as big as others, there were still a few items I hadn't seen anywhere else. Their broth was good too - we tried the satay & tom yum and both were flavourful.
They've been open under the same management for 11+ years! Covid has been tough - they closed completely when dine in was shut down and are just starting to rebuild business (I don't think they do take out but I'm not 100%). It was completely dead when we were there, minus one other table - and they still kept filling the food with fresh items. They kind of fall under the radar, maybe because they're not as flashy as other places? But they are yummy with super nice people - if you're considering hotpot, it's worth checking out!
A few things to note: it's one of the cheaper AYCE hotpots in the city (I think it was $26 + $2 for broth - other places are $35-40). AYCE only. No late night or lunch special, the price is the price all day. Cash or debit only.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Laura R.Edmonton, AB6194Sep 8, 2021
My favourite hot pot. Their XO sauce and peanut XO are out of this world, the broth is tasty, and ingredients fresh. I also love the dessert soup. So much flavour, so much fun!

Do not let the outside of this place fool you. Though it isn't 100% top notch inside it is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful.
I often shy away from hot pot places because I am overwhelmed with the quantity of food that I am expected to eat. Expected is probably a little harsh, but just go with it. I liked this place because it is individual which isn't unique on its own, but my favourite part is the buffet.
They have 4 broths to choose from. You get your own veggies, meats, fish, noodles, etc. in the exact amounts you want. And obviously as much as you want being that is how buffets work. There is lots of sauces and even rice if you want it!
Just don't waste any food as there is a charge extra for it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kristen A.Southeast Edmonton, Edmonton, AB5165Apr 11, 2018
I wanted to love this place a lot more than I did. It's a very authentic hot pot buffet, in that it has many ingredients such as fish heads that you may not find on a more western influenced place, but sadly the service isn't great.
We called ahead for a booking for 9 people, they said that's fine and did not take our name or time we would be arriving, so we figured they really would be able to fit us with no issues.
However wen we arrived the largest table was for 9 people, and they had to squeeze one of our guests in between other peoples pots and put a large gas powered camp style burner in front of him. Like the ones you buy from bass pro shop.
This seems a little unsafe, and a short person would definitely not be able to see what was going on in the pot, our guy who got the short stick and had the camp pot was 6 foot 4 and even he couldn't see what he was cooking.
My other complaint was that the service was exceptionally slow, and they had no vegetarian soup bases, and half our party was vegetarian. So the chef said he would make us all a special batch of soup and we all agreed on satay, he brought out Tom yum. Ok, I appreciate that he went out of his way but 1, why ask what flavour if you are going to make something completely different anyway, and 2 it's restaurant suicide in this day and age to not offer a vegetarian option.
Other than that the service was very slow on the drinks, several of our guests had to leave the table to go get beverages themselves after waiting for quite a while.
This place has nice food, and is very authentic, but I would recommend other places in the city over it if you are only going to visit one hot pot place.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - James S.Edmonton, AB15245Aug 31, 2014
I've been going here for years.
There are a few hot pot restaurants in edmonton, some have lots of selection, some hate some hot foods. But none of them have the quality of food this place has, I always know exactly what to expect and the broth is just amazing. I always bring friends here for their first hot pot experience, and they always leave full and happy, and we always have fun talking and eating. They always have something new to try.
U can try other hot places, and they are okay, but this place feels like home. They are always friendly and the prices are good.
I have to keep it a secrete when I go here, because people get upset I didn't invite them sometimes... Its become a sort of tradition. Lol.
anyways, try it, they have safe food (people like me) and they have stuff that is more adventurous (some of my Asian friends)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shaela C.Edmonton, AB113438Oct 19, 2016
Visited this delightful little gem for my first hot pot experience last night and am thoroughly impressed! The restaurant was bright and clean and the staff (owner?) was very helpful and really nice. They didn't bother us, but were there if we had any questions.
I really liked that each person got their own individual broth pot- this way, we didn't all have to try and come to a decision on the same one (I opted for the Tom Yum)! Same thing with our food choices... they offer up a bevy veggies, meats, seafood, etc. It was a tough thing trying to figure out where to start. Everything I tried was delicious and cooked perfectly by the broth.
When it was time for dessert, I wasn't sure I would like any of the traditional dessert choices, but I did! Pleasant surprise, that.
It's located in a residential area, but is easy to get to and the parking was decent. It would have been 5 stars if it was a little cheaper. I know, I know, it's a buffet. And we definitely left full. But on my budget I can't justify $25 for just my food on a regular basis... I will return for special occasions though! Had a blast with the girls and left completely satisfied with my hot pot experience. It's perfect for those chilly evenings when you just want something warm. Would definitely recommend this place to others.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tamia H.Vancouver, BC1145172306Jul 11, 2016
I enjoy going to hot pot restaurants. I like this one because all of the food is served in a buffet. I can choose as little or as much as I want. Other hot pots I've gone too bring out way to much food, so it's nice that here I can keep a better eye on my portions. There are five broths you can choose, all of them Thai, but the food at the buffet is pretty much similar to the foods at other hot pots (ie: shrimp balls, crab balls, shrimp, bok choy, pot stickers, lamb, chicken, etc).
The dessert selection is also served in buffet style. I sampled three of the 6 desserts and I did not enjoy it all all. It was either bland (even with added coconut milk and liquid sugar) or just straight up looked unappetizing and made me lose my sweet tooth right away.
As for customer service, it was okay but we had to ask for water when it should've been brought out as soon as we sat down.
I would definitely come here again for the hot pot because the food was delicious but I would definitely skip the dessert.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bob S.Fort Saskatchewan, AB2591Jan 23, 2015
Basic hotpot but very good ! Great value . Friendly owners and good food ! Not fancy like the downtown hotpots but it shines in its own way . Hotpot basics with a Vietnamese twist
Spicy satay soup broth is very tasty and not oversalted like other places .Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rebecca R.Edmonton, AB152218182May 31, 2016
I am going to rate this a 4 for now, because I am a fan, and I will be back.
It's located in a tiny little strip mall in the middle of no-where! I had no idea it was even there, and it's right in my neighborhood.
It's a one price, "all you can eat" kind of affair. It is the cleanest restaurant I think I have ever seen!
Obviously family run. You are very well taken care of here.
My Dad tells me that they have the best selection of items here. We tried two different kind of broths; the Tom Yum and the Satay. Both were very good.
Its' kind of up to you after that... There are plenty of meats, vegetables and noodles to choose from.
The tables are very cool! They have a sunken recess where your "soup" is put to simmer. Bright and cheerful lime green!
There is a 2 hour maximum stay for your dining experience. There is parking located right out front, and on the street.
We came when it was relatively quiet. They are open quite late. I am sure it could be very noisy when it is busy. Everyone else in the place looked like they were really enjoying themselves as well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
