We came across a classy looking restaurant where special looking olden dynasty style pots were placed at each table. They were used for hotpots buffet. Their normal buffet rate is $28.90++ or you can choose the $14.90++ set with limited selections from their separate menu.
The front section of the restaurant were kind of crowded so we were seated at the inner section which seem better and more cozy. Their menu varieties were simple steamboat ingredients you can find anywhere, except for their handmade items such as glue type noodles - we chose shrimp flavor, and other side dishes.
There are 4 type of soup base such as Sichuan Spicy soup, Tonkotsu soup (pork), Duck soup or Tom yum soup.
I have taken a pic of their $14.90 menu below for reference. :P
There were many different kind of sauces placed near the entrance of the restaurant for self service.

Different types of vege and mushrooms.
Beef and Pork
We need to squeeze the glue type noodles into the soup to cook it before consume. Pretty fun and the taste is quite good. Imagine the noodles with shrimp taste in it.
Here's the result of the noodles.
Hmm it does look abit like tiny intestines hahaha
