"Nice place to try the Chinese Hotpot and BBQ. Kimchi was delicious and for the set price you will eat as much as you like, many times, and repeat and repeat. You can make your own meal using the hotpot broth or the hot iron in your table. Many many kinds of meat or vegetables, plus make your own sauces. Be creative and have fun!"

"Really accommodating staff, they were always smiling at us and approachable! Food choices were catered to East Asian taste which we loved but westerners might not. A lot of selection of food for hotpot and bbq grill Softdrinks were included in the price of $45 too. Also they have an ice cream machine that was a hit with my family."

"Please note the restaurant in Chinese is called 百家乐火锅烧烤自助 and is under new management. Stone BBQ was the old restaurant under old management. The food is hotpot buffet or bbq both self serving and self cooking. The quality and variety of the meat is amazing and very worth it. $45 per person well spent!"
