Firebird Hot Pot

The decor here is so cute! I was expecting a hipster, gentrified asian style hot pot, but was thoroughly impressed they kept all the essence of traditional hot pot while making people aware it's fusion. I know they had some growing pains during their initial opening, but i think they were able to take criticism like any effective business should. Loved the sauce bar!! Would love to see a sesame sauce doe! The servers were so nice. Also a bonus to see all my Asian peoples when I walked in... GOOD SIGN. haha. Definitely recommend the Creamy Seafood - it's got a tint of lemongrass and coconut cream that screams to my south east asian roots. hehe.

This is a new hotpot place that opened up in a hotel.
Positives: It was a nice spot with a lounge downstairs, not like the chaos of little sheep where you wonder about the cleanliness bc of the fast turnaround and raw meat and carnage of a lot of different dishes around.
There was a good amount of meat in the creamy seafood dish. It didn’t blow me away, but it wasn’t bad. Let’s just say slightly above average. Service was great and the sauce bar was comprehensive.

Challenges: The dessert was the worst I have ever encountered as a foodie who has eaten the cheapest of the affordable places to the Michelin star places around the world. Ordered the green tea tiramisu and it was more like stale lady fingers with whip cream from a can, drizzled with green tea sauce. We didn’t want to finish it. A tiramisu should have the thick cream, soft, cakey texture in between, like layers. It was literally hard cookies with “spray on” whip cream. Please, please fix this dessert-I have never been so disappointed at the end of a meal.

5 stars for Fresh fresh fresh!! Meats were tender and everything I had in my Chicken pot was great. Will be there again.

The food was amazing, loved how they used local ingredients. The portion sizes were the perfect amount, also the spice bar was a nice touch. Keanu was an amazing server, very tentative and friendly!
