" Cocary is such an awesome place for shabu shabu. The food is incredibly fresh, and there is a nice variety. I really appreciate that I can pay per plate, as it usually ends up being much cheaper than other hot pot places without sacrificing quality. Service-wise, there have been some instances where we felt ignored, but overall it isn’t a dealbreaker for me. I still plan on coming back regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Another top-notch experience at Cocary. The food has always been fantastic, particularly the pork and beef slices that are tender and flavorful. I appreciate the generous portions you get for the price. I feel the service could improve in terms of speed, but knowing it's mainly self-serve, I can excuse it. All in all, it’s a reliable option for a pleasant dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want delicious, authentic Taiwanese hot pot, Cocary Shabu Shabu BBQ is the place to go! The ingredients are fresh, and I love trying different combinations. However, I wish the service was more prompt since it can take a while to get your order taken. Regardless, it's definitely one of my favorite dining spots, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've come to Cocary for years, and while I often rave about the food quality and authenticity, the service can be a little chaotic. There are instances when you must manage everything yourself, making it feel a bit less traditional. Still, it offers genuine Taiwanese flavors that are hard to find! I will continue to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had some friends accompany me to Cocary and we all had different dishes during our meal, and it was fantastic! The freshness of the ingredients truly shines, at least when you pick the right meats. I had high expectations for the service since I heard a lot of good things, but it fell a bit short. Staff seemed busy multitasking and that made our experience less smooth. I would come back for the food, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cocary Shabu Shabu BBQ is where I celebrate special occasions with my family. The DIY aspect adds an element of fun, and I love that we can customize our meal to our liking. It's particularly enjoyable to have a range of options from meats to veggies. The service, however, can be unpredictable. I'd wish for more attentive staff, but given the price and quality of food, I can't help but return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience! Cocary Shabu Shabu BBQ has a great atmosphere and delicious food. The ability to select your own ingredients is a huge plus. It's perfect for a casual dining experience. My only issue was with the service being a bit slow, especially during peak times; perhaps they'd benefit from a few more staff. Still, I would recommend it to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)
