" We had an amazing dinner at Ibasaw! The quality of the food was extraordinary. Everything felt fresh, and the variety was expansive. The experience of selecting, cooking, and eating communally is fun and creates a lively atmosphere. I will say the price may be an issue for some, but I thought it was worth every penny. If you’re someone who loves hot pot, this is a must-visit! I'll definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so impressed by the overall experience at Ibasaw from the moment I walked in. The decor was inviting and had a warm ambiance. The hot pot buffet offers a broad selection of ingredients, and all the food was fresh! My favorites included the pork and seafood. Be careful not to overorder; my friend and I learned our lesson about the added charges for leftovers! Service was efficient, and the staff was very friendly. Definitely would return for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Ibasaw was buzzing with energy, making it a perfect spot for our friends' reunion. Everyone loved interacting over the hot pot, and the variety available was impressive. All our ingredients tasted fresh. However, we found some broths to be less flavorful than others, which was slightly disappointing. I would recommend more robust seasoning in some options. However, the fresh seafood definitely stole the spotlight. I would recommend this place for lighthearted dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ibasaw offers a fun dining experience, perfect for both first-timers and seasoned hot pot fans. There’s plenty of options for everyone, from meat lovers to vegetarians. The service was initially a bit slow but improved as the night went on. I was also impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. While the price was slightly higher than I'd like, everything tasted fresh, and the portion sizes satisfied our appetite. Overall, I enjoyed my time and would recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful meal at Ibasaw! The quality of ingredients was top-notch. The experience of cooking at the table was enjoyable and the staff was friendly, though they seemed to rush us at the end, pushing us to finish our meal. The price was a bit on the high side but worth it for the quality of food. Overall, I had a great evening! " (*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*)
