We went there around 6pm and got a seat easily. The food was truly fab! If you are a fan of sichuan flavors and numbing spice this is for you! I am a vegetarian and I had loads of options to choose from. We got the spicy broth, and it was not a lie!
Where do i begin, the customer service from the lady made my day. The food and options are endless and the food tastes amazing. Jina and our server were super mice and friendly. Will definitely be back
Came here for lunch on a weekday and was pretty nice, now let’s get to it: Hot pot or bbq? We chose hot pot and it didn’t disappoint ! Menu selection was great as you can see from all the various plates we have on the table. My friend was super excited to eat everything from beef, lamb, to enoki mushrooms and tofu skin. Staff were very attentive and service was fast but it was only us and maybe 4 other families. Heads up: Ordering is off the phone through a QR scan and directs to a website.
Awesome. The food was amazing and this time we did BBQ and hotpot. The hotpot was mild spicy for me and I loved it. Mild spicy really is just very spicy though. That's still fine. I still prefer BBQ. The House sauce is one of the best sauces I’ve ever had in my life. It's absolutely perfect for the meat.
We visited 99 Favor Taste for my husband's birthday. We had never been to a hotpot or barbecue specific restaurant and now we know what we were missing out on. We prefer to eat vegetarian food and this restaurant had so many options for us. We highly recommend the bread sticks, potato vermicelli, fried tofu skin, egg plant (for BBQ) and would avoid the lotus root and corn which were difficult to cook and eat. They even offer a few free appetizers and a free ice cream. The collection of sauces was great. We ordered through a tab and they charge for wastage of too much food, so be careful how much you order. The vibe of the place is pretty and all the servers were very helpful. We did get the birthday offer (one person eats free) but they do not wish or give anything else. The place is priced high if not for the birthday offer, so going very hungry will help you do justice.
