As with many of the restaurants in Harbour City, there was a wait for this place. You are free to leave your phone number and have them call you when your table is ready. We chose to sit nearby, and waited quite awhile, and after talking to the people there after about 45 minutes, we were able to get seated at a table that just left.

We ordered 3 dishes. Unfortunately, I can only remember 2 - the seafood pancake and the mixed meat combo dish. The pancake tasted very good and was a large portion for the 3 of us. It tasted even better adding some of the spicy flavor from one of our 6 banchan (complimentary dishes they give you) dishes. For the meat, there was the option to cook it ourselves or have them cook it. Since we were hungry, (and maybe a little lazy), we had them cook the meat for us. And tasted very good!

They have very good service and were attentive, and didn't rush us at all (probably another reason why the restaurant has a wait, but that's good for us when we are eating).

I came here for a group gathering. It's nice because there is a room in the back that can fit at least 3 people, and is set with a wraparound sofa and tables, along with tables at the center for those who are mingling/standing.

The Living Room has very nice decor that is suitable for after-work drinks or even a date due to the dim lighting. The drinks are more pricey than the average bar, but you are paying for the environment and experience. It's also nice, because the bar isn't too packed either, and allows people to sit in the lounge chairs or at the bar.

Good for: groups, dates

I made reservations the day of for a party of 5 with no problems. The 5 of us were actually given a private room to ourselves. What VIP service!

They didn't give us a time limit, but being in the room it was more difficult to get service for sauces, ordering, and the bill.

There were many broth options so we got a half/half broth with pork broth and a tomato broth. The tomato broth had a unique flavor, slightly sweet. I personally preferred the pork broth more.

Something unique that this Tanyoto does that I haven't seen at other hot pot places is they have a premixed bowl of ingredients for your sauce that has cilantro, hot sauce, and a few other things. Then when the broth arrives they ask you which broth you would like for your sauce and they add it to the bowl for you to dip your food in. I personally didn't like that there was so much cilantro. Separately we order two sauces - Satay Sauce and soy sauce. The sauces were $10 each. We didn't realize that the soy sauce also cost $10(!!) until after we ordered it, though it did seem to be a special one, as it didn't taste like regular soy sauce one would have at home.

The portion size of the ingredients was good, and tasted fresh.

I particularly enjoyed the frozen tofu, lamb, and fatty beef.

It was a Friday, and we ate at about 7:30pm/8p. I was told that after 9pm it was all you can eat, which would be a good deal if you could wait until later for dinner. Not sure about the cost for all you can eat, though.

Disclaimer: The restaurant isn't actually on Johnston Street as the address indicates. (Good thing my friend had been before, or else we would have been a-searchin'!) By MTR, when you come out of Wanchai A3 exit, turn left and walk to the corner and cross the street. Cross the street and the restaurant is about 2 stores to your left. There is an opening with a podium right inside. You are actually on the street perpendicular to Johnston - sorry, there is no street name on Google Maps. On Google Maps, it is shown there as Tan Yu Tou, right next to the Tung Hing Building.

Met up with others on a Sat morning. There were several people here, but no issues finding seats. It's double the size I'd expected. My drink was made quickly, and tasted fine, so no issues there. We stayed for about 3 hours and there was no one rushing us or anything. And the volume level there is not loud so it's even find for some group studying/gathering.

It is also in a convenient location at Festival Walk - just two escalator flights up from the Kowloon Tong MTR station.

Good for: group gatherings, studying, coffee break

Came here for my second time recently. It was the afternoon so there was no wait, though the place was about half full. I decided to go for the glutinous rice balls (tong yuen/yuen tong) filled with peanut in a sweet potato liquid with chunks of sweet potato. The sweet potato was cooked well. The liquid wasn't too sweet. And most importantly, I reallllly enjoyed the glutinous rice balls. The peanut filling was verrrry flavorful.

Service was good as well. We chatted for quite awhile before we ordered and after our desserts came we chatted for awhile also, and they didn't rush us. Service was prompt, and it was a good experience.

Will definitely return!
