“Haven’t been in a few years but we always liked Hometown. It’s not fancy and the quality of the meat probably isn’t the best but it’s AYCE for a decent price and we always enjoy it.”

replying to u/TimelyOwl: They used to be good but last time I went (pre-covid), it was terrible. Their menu was scaled down and they didn’t have much options. And I personally avoid this place because the owners are Trump supporters. There are way better AYCE hotpot places in Chinatown that also have the birthday promos. - Hometown Hotpot & BBQ - LaoJie Hotpot - Easy Joy Dim Sum & Hot Pot (pretty new. They had a lot of options)
“Hometown was much much better. Higher quality, better soup bases, cleaner restaurant.”

“Laojie or Hometown are my votes. Laojie is my favorite but not as vegan/vegetarian friendly as Hometown, plus Hometown has a few unique items to their menu (curry broth, for one).”
