" We visited during the weekend, and the place was packed. Despite the crowd, our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our hot pot. I loved the variety of meats and veggies they offered. The only downside was we found the sauces at the bar a bit limited compared to others I've tried at different places. Overall a great experience, just a bit pricey for a family with kids. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to hot pot restaurant! The quality of the ingredients always impresses me. I particularly enjoy the diverse selection of fresh vegetables and the supremely thinly sliced meats, all for a very reasonable price. The atmosphere is lively but could get a tad crowded—important to book ahead on weekends! Just be mindful of the portions since there's a limit before extra charges kick in. It’s worth it to take your time and enjoy the experience. Highly recommend visiting with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Ibasaw with my family, and we had a blast! The buffet style was perfect for everyone. We loved making our own sauces, which added a personal touch to our meal. The staff was friendly but a little slow to respond during peak hours. The price was fair for the quality of food we received. We left satisfied and definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic time at Ibasaw last weekend! The interactive nature of hot pot made our family dinner even more enjoyable. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and the super fresh ingredients available. The price isn’t the cheapest, but it was reasonable given the experience. I'll definitely be returning in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ibasaw for a friend's birthday and had such a good time! The ambiance was perfect for a lively dinner with friends. The selection was vast, but I have to admit the flavors of the broths didn’t stand out as much as I hoped. Nonetheless, the freshness of the ingredients more than made up for that. I highly recommend the spicy options! Overall a lovely night! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my recent visit to Ibasaw, I was impressed by the overall quality of the food. The meats were fresh and the broths flavorful, but I found the service somewhat lacking on that busy night. We had to wait longer than expected for refills, which dampened an otherwise enjoyable evening. I'll give them another shot, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for hot pot, Ibasaw should definitely be on your radar. The service can be a little inconsistent—some servers are better equipped to handle busy nights than others—but the food is the highlight here. The broths are relatively flavorful, although I wish they had more than just a couple of spicy options. I loved the fresh seafood and I plan on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
