ROLLING POT does not hit the spot

Rolling Pot 滾鍋

7077 Kennedy Road (within Market Village)
Tel: 905-946-0888

This restaurant is one popularly talked about in the Chinese circle has it is one of the first to bring the Taiwanese hot-potting style to Toronto. However, sanitary is clearly an issue with this restaurant. Tables are not cleaned with leafs and oil stain still left from previous patrons. Floor is slippery due to inadequate ventilation for steam and grease. Create-own-sauce is exciting but regularly ingredients are not refilled. Dessert station only serves sesame balls. Drinks and utensils have to self-served. Service varies with waiters, but the majority speaks only Mandarin. Place becomes packed, noisy and rushed the later it gets.

Atmosphere: 0 / 5
Service 1 / 5
Food: 2 / 5

Price:
Dinner $13.99/person for regular dining
$15.99/person for dining with seafood platter (wasn't that much of a seafood platter)

Plus 10% gratuities

Overall: 1 / 5
Visit Again: Only if dragged against my own will
