Morals Village

I think it’s the best hot pot in this area. Love the hot soup base and lamb/​beef rolls here! Watermelon juice was yummy

Food is okay… Actually not really.
For the price they charge, the food is just so so…
I would rather go elsewhere and pay less for the same food. Service wasn’t that great either.
But I see these rich Asian kids pulling up in exotic Cars all the time with a few girls and they all seem to think the food is amazing lol
Place did a good job marketing! All my wealthy Asian friends seems to want to check his place out and they always suggest this place for hot pot.
In my opinion, home-​made hot pot is the best, unless if a restaurant has something unique and/​or special, which this place doesn’t.

This is one of the best hotpot place I have ever been. The setting and decoration is very beautiful and the servers are very friendly and helpful. My girlfriend is not usually a hot pot lover, but with the great vareity of selection of food and hotpot base this place offered, she is loving it. Definately a 5 star!

Went there on Feb 28. Table was reserved and arrived on time but still need to wait for 10 minutes. No big deal. The all-​you-​can-​eat price did not include soup base and drinks. The service was very slow. Meat was good. Also fish ball and meat ball were great but they are all processed food. The vegetable is so fresh that there is even a live cockroach inside! We returned the veggie to the server. They tried to cover up by giving us two free pitches of drinks.
Overpriced food, poor service. If you want to see surprise such as cockroach, please go there!

My favourite part of this hot pot experience was the distinct flavour and tastes of the soup base. The soup base at Morals Village Hot Pot definitely were of a higher caliber than other hot pot restaurants. They import their ingredients for the soup base directly from Chongqing, China! No wonder the taste and flavouring was so strong and unique. I really enjoyed the sliced lamb and beef as well since it was very fresh and sliced so thinly.

–Each ‘order’ of meat is literally 5 slices, so order a lot at once
–Already overpriced on weekdays and weekends, then add 2 – 5 $ for soup base lol
–Only 2 servers have the tablet to put in orders, good luck flagging them down
–Weekday service slightly better, weekend is a nightmare
–Seating is awkward with long tables separating guests with flimsy glass/​plastic, chairs completely the wrong height

I am writing an update review based on my second time back. The business extended an invitation for a dinner back and that’s a nice goodwill gesture. My second time back was much better. The service was good and they came around with a tablet so it looks like they have improved their ordering system. I certainly hope that this is the service level that they will maintain going forward.

3.5÷5
I came here with 6 other friends last night and we were quite disappointed with the service. We arrived at 8pm and didn’t get seated until 9:15pm even though most of tables who arrived after us were already seated. To be fair, they did say that we had to wait longer because we were a larger group (still sucked though because we were all starving).
We ordered right after getting seated — I got the tomato ox soup base as well as the pork bone soup base. I think it’s a couple dollars extra per soup. Their drinks also cost extra — FYI most hot pot places come with one complimentary soup base and free drinks (pop, a few Asian drinks, etc.). I split a watermelon juice with a few other friends and that tasted mediocre. As I mentioned before, we weren’t very happy with the service here — we had to ask for water 3 times before it came, our soups were only refilled once and that was towards the end of our meal, and no one really came to check up on us throughout the meal.
Alright, ranting aside, the selection of food here was quite impressive. I’m not even sure what we ended up ordering because they just brought out a whole bunch of stuff. One good thing about this place is that they don’t charge you extra for the good stuff (aka seafood). Their food came out within minutes and everything tasted very fresh.
All in all, Morals is a good place to eat if you are a fan of hotpot and don’t mind a wait/​subpar service. The atmosphere here is also very fun and it is nicely decorated.

This is one of the best places for hotpot, I’ve been to many of them but it’s not the cheapest.
It’s located beside TNT Supermarket and there are plenty of parking spots available both outdoor and underground.
This place is more of a higher end hotpot restaurant, it’s very clean for a Chinese restaurant, just watching the way they clean up their tables show how much they pay attention to details in terms of keeping everything clean.
Food selection is great, everything you ever wanted for a Chinese hotpot. The one thing this place shines compared to other hotpot places is the quality of the food. Shrimps and squids are good quality seafood items. They also offer premium beef at extra cost, I believe they’re Kobe beefs. I loved their selection of sauces!
I was impressed with their willingness to bring out meat, a lot of hotpot places are cheap when it comes to meat but this place was amazing, non-​stop lamb and beef.

New renovation, beef and lamb are excellent. Must try. However it’s pretty pricy especially for Weekend. $ 2 extra, and soup is extra cost too For the hotpot. For two people you are looking at 80 $+. Also they don’t take credit card, make sure you bring enough cash or have enough funds in your debit.

Service good. People nice but busy. If you don’t make reservation first, you may wait over an hour to be seated during weekend. For me, I just come here around 4 when they just open. =D

It was difficult to rate Morals because I have very mixed feelings. There is quite a bit of potential here but horrible service and high prices pull it down.
Pros:
The décor was the first thing that you notice when you walk in and it’s gorgeous. Very modern and looks very expensive to put together. Definitely great atmosphere when you walk in.
The food was good and presented very nicely. I was very satisfied with the freshness of everything that we ordered and it tasted great. I haven’t been to any hot pot restaurant in Canada before but I’m told the quality of the food was probably about average. In any case, I was happy with it.
Cons:
Service. Going in, I read the service wasn’t great but I didn’t think it would have affected me so much. Our server looked annoyed (and I’m not saying this lightly) when we ordered. So much so that he would sigh and look away as we’re trying to remember what we wanted. In all my dealing with him I always got a sense that I was annoying him and that he did not want any part of serving us. It was also very difficult to grab someone (anyone!) to order or even get more water.
This place was too pricey for my liking. If I recall correctly it was $ 27, plus $ 2 for weekends, plus $ 3 – 8 for any of the non-​standard soup bases (which are simply labeled mild, medium, or hot). You can also choose to add their premium angus beef for another $ 3 per person. While the meal was good, I didn’t think it was worth $ 32 plus tax and tip.
Finally, I was upset that they limit you on dessert. One dessert per person and I think it varies per day/​week. When I went they gave me a choice of vanilla or mango ice cream. It was a spoonful (not even a scoop) of half-​melted ice cream. I was mortified that they would limit you to ice cream at an AYCE restaurant.
Overall, the food was good but I can’t justify paying so much for lousy service and a small portion of dessert. I’ll continue my search for a good hot pot restaurant.

This is my second time back and I went with my boyfriend and my parents. We all agreed that the service was wonderful and the food was served quickly. We tried the pork bone, tomato, mushroom, and herbal soup bases. They were all quite flavorful but it does get diluted with the generic soup stock used as refill throughout your meal. They were very diligent in ensuring our soups never ran low and refilled it periodically.
My parents were happy with the quality of the meats. They said it was above their expectations for ayce hot pot and the shrimp was very fresh! Only suggestion they had for improvement is maybe having more choices for meat and more cooked food variety.
My boyfriend enjoyed the spring rolls in particular. He said it’d be better with more filing but he still ate like 6 lol. They only have spring rolls and deep fried bun for cooked foods and they’re both great but we would like to see more options. Only complaint he had was that he wished they also had chicken.
Personally, I have no complaints about the food and was happy that ice cream was not limited lol. Only problem we encountered was when we asked for Coke and without clarifying whether we wanted can, glass bottle, or fountain (included in the meal), we were given glass bottled Coke. Other than that, everyone was happy with their meal.

The WORST hot pot, if not meal I have ever had. I will NEVER come back here. Zero star review.
The food is poor quality and tasteless. They never come to clear the dirty plates so they just pile up all over the table. The service is horrendous. They forgot half of what we ordered and it was like pulling teeth trying to find a waiter to order more food (or to ask wtf happened to the stuff we ordered 45 minutes ago and never came). It takes AGES for anything to come out. We asked FOUR times for them to add more water to the soup that was now an inch of murky sludge in the pot before they came by with a jug. When you asked for something they would say uhhhh one sec and never come back. The initial utensils we got had dried food on them… I can go on…
RAGE. I feel robbed paying for this meal. For two of us the bill came to $ 70. On a weeknight! (The only extra we got was one Diet Coke — the best part of the meal). For this price or just a little more we could have gone to a good joint downtown for delicious food and amazing service. For this price we didn’t even get mediocre food and service. What a joke.
Do NOT go here. Stick to Hipot (which until now I thought was so-​so but it’s like Michelin star compared to this shizzzz) or Hopo or the world bowl hot pot place. Seriously. Don’t eat here. Ridiculous.

I love winter because that means it’s hot pot season! I’m giving two stars to Morals for their variety of options — my favorite was their handmade balls and sliced meat. Their sliced beef was marbled-​just-​enough despite it not being the premium option. They also offer handmade shrimp balls and octopus balls, yum.
Service was a tad bit slow and limited to mostly mandarin. Some of the challenges that our group had:
— Food items: The english and chinese menus were different and there were more items on the chinese
— Alcohol: Once we were seated, our group ordered beers that were forgotten, twice
— Soup base: The default soup is the individual, there’s a surcharge to order the larger pots for sharing. As a fan of spicy «ma lat/​麻辣» soups, I found that the soups here were more on the numbing side than spicy
What I did really enjoy about the place was their seating! Typically, many hot pot places are more cramped. I found that Morals was more comfortable and overall, cleaner.
Parking is usually a pain in this plaza — Go underground to the tnt parking instead
And definitely make a reservation!

So棒！服务so好！感人！好贴心！小棉袄！
以后天天来加拿大度假
Best experience ever!
If you are from the US, you have to try this place （so cheap and BEST HOTPOT IN THE COUNTRY）

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to hot pot which is one of my fave activities in the winter. Since this week the weather seemed to be more like fall, me and a friend decided to go for hotpot to warm up!
I must say this is the first time I ever been to a «Premium» hot pot place! I don’t understand why this place is 2 stars!?! It’s décor, service and food was top notch to say the least! It’s one of the best AYCE hotspot I’ve ever been to! Everything from the Angus marbled fatty beef to the lamb (surprisingly not too gamey) to the spicy Sichuan soup base was delicious! The meat was nicely marbled and thinly sliced so that it cooked in less than 5 seconds once it hit the boiling broth!
I def recommend the watermelon juice and wintermelon juice to wash down the spiciness! Service was on par! Unlike some AYCE places who tries to ignore u, the staff there are nice and actually follows up with what hasn’t arrived yet! Needless to say, I was stuffed to the max! The dinner ended with a choice of mango ice cream or slush! I had the slush which was a nice refreshing end to a very satisfying meal!
This is a must try for anyone who loves hotpot and wants real good food versus the subpar mediocre stuff! It’s true what they say, u get what u pay for!

Food was great; service was ok. We had a reservation for 7 p.m. on a Saturday, but we got caught in some stupid Pan-​Am games traffic and ended up getting there around 7:20. They had given away our table by then (despite us calling first) but we only had to wait another 10 – 15 minutes to get a new table.
Once we sat down and ordered, our food came super fast! We got four pots of broth, two spicy and two non-​spicy, to share among six of us, which I think was plenty. The best items were the meat, which seemed to be pretty good quality; the stuffed meatball (beware of the hot cheese); the shrimp wonton; the fried mantou (served hot!) with the condensed milk dipping sauce; and I liked that their taro was in small pieces and pre-​fried so it wouldn’t take too long to cook. While our first batch came quickly, the other stuff we ordered came more piecemeal or required us to remind the waiter a second time.
Things I wish they had: a sauce bar, like many places in Taiwan (though I did pretty well ordering the garlic sauce, sha-​cha and chopped chives and mixing it all up); clams in the seafood options; Chinese cabbage (gao-​li cai) and baby corn in the veggies; but overall I think they provided a pretty good list for an AYCE.
The free ice cream at the end is also a nice touch.
Though they have a two-​hour limit, it wasn’t enforced when we were there, probably because there wasn’t a line when we were eating.

Came all the way from downtown. Food is better than the ones in dt. But TERRIBLE SERVICE. Be prepared to WAIT FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR if you’re going.
By kept telling us someone is making the payment, they kept my group waiting for 1.5 hours standing at the door. Instead of an apology, the manager taught us to understand because it was busy when we were trying to tell him what has happened on us.
Ok the story is we tried to book a table for 930pm and were told that it won’t take long if we just show up at the store. Since there’s usually not many large groups at that time, therefore a reservation is not necessary.
They told us that there was only one group before us upon our arrival and kept telling us someone is making the payment and will leave SOON. We were not seated until waiting for 1.5 hrs.
Just 30 mins later we were told that it was our last call. When we were trying to tell them what has happened, the «manager» came and said it’s just really BUSY and you have to understand. When we asked for more ice-​cream the manager told us that there is only four left. And those were for the other table beside us. Therefore we kindly saved the dessert for the others and left.

Went for dinner. Unlike the other reviewers who had to wait, we had reservations and were sat right away.
Its a hot pot place so you pick a broth, dipping sauce then all the food you could possibly eat!
I was wavering between 3or 4 stars. I’m going to say 3.5. They nickel and dime you on the cost of broth and sauces. A few items we wanted were not available. of course they were ones that were a bit pricey. Spam and ramen were a plenty! Service was okay. We had things refilled often. No complaints (we didn’t have solver though ;))
