Food and service is always good! Price is more than reasonable! Cost is about 20 per person .I can not believe that they are asking me to go on.

I suggest checking out the youtube channel vahidrvahidr and watching Boston Down episode 2 for a great video review of this location. Read on for our written review.

You're presented with a bunch of raw vegetables and a plate of frozen meat. Which you take turns to dunk into a bowl of boiling broth. The results are generally par boiled and... More 

This place was just what we were looking for while in Boston for a family getaway. Great variety at inexpensive prices. We were especially fascinated by the vegetable hot pot, really interesting selection of vegetables! We got there about 11:30 an 12pm the place filled up fast.
