Xiang Zi Hotpot - Markham

Using individual pot for self cooking is hygienic and no more mess sharing with others .I found that the meat is exposed openly and that is not healthy at all. The temp is not maintain and I saw other customer using their hand !The management should work on the ventilation system. The floor is little slippery !!! The second floor is not a good idea for All You Can Eat ...... is dangerous as I see some senior having problem bring food up .The quality of the food variety is normal and the price is over price too. If they charge these price per head than the soup base should be free. The toilet is not well maintain and smell bad. The sink are dirty and wet everywhere ....... they need to maintain well in this places as lots of traffic in and out especially All You Can Eat restaurant. The staffs are slow removing the empty plate as I can see many of them just lazy around and chatting. The vegetable section has a good selections but the vegetable is not well washed and clean.

Probably 2.5/3 Came here on a weekend night and was super busyThe interior was very identical and seemed like I was back in Chengdu.

Was my expectations too high or was the food just bland? So I came here on a busy evening night with my family and the place seem pretty full with

I didn't actually want to have hot pot here at Xiang Zi after reading all the low reviews on Yelp.

This is a restaurant where you pick out raw ingredients at a large buffet and cook it yourself at your table in boiling vats of soups. It is fun to do. The selection of types of foods and ingredients are tremendous. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice.It is a little pricey. I have eaten many times in China at this type of restaurant and there are a couple of things I liked there that this restaurant did not have despite the huge variety it did have. In my opinion, there are tastier hot pot restaurants in the area but none of those restaurants have as pretty and well maintained dining environment.
