I honestly like this place, although i was skeptical at first. Tom yam soup was really nice and pekat.
Price is reasonable, can be within RM60 each adult. It can be quite crowded on weekends and peak hours. I waited 30 minutes to dine around 4pm.
I just hope there were more choice of food or better deserts besides ice cream.

Tomyam and Chicken Soup
Hi Solarance again and it’s the 22nd October 2022 today!
So here I am on my food adventure and today my mom wishes to sate her curiosity by having steamboat dinner at this new place we found @ IOI City Mall called AHA! Honestly love the name 😂 first time we meet we say the words “AHA!, a new place to finally try out!” Love it!
Anyways enough jokes! Time to go for the food! I’ll be frank, the first thing that got my attention was that it mentions “homemade” and it’s not everyday that a steamboat place serves fresh food on a daily basis and this is one of those hidden gems that you should try out!
So let’s get to business, for our first time, we went with the couple set which is about RM 60 per person but it comes with appetisers and honestly it’s quite worth the price as their dish is homemade! Even the sauce.. delicious! So they gave dumplings, buns in twos and finally the chicken between the choice of spicy or original. We prompt for the spicy and it comes with cheese which needs to be cooked a bit to melt it down. I’ll admit, for an appetiser, the chicken is a bit too much as it should serve as an opener not something that would make you full on the start.. cuz it’ll spoil your appetite from the beginning. So maybe think about reducing it? But overall a pretty good start 🙂👍🏻
Then we move on to the steamboat food.. yes true the options are quite minimal, but it makes up for the items being homemade 👍🏻 yes not everything is homemade but the homemade items are worth it! We had a few selections that were really a great kick and was so delicious we added extra. Too bad there were only 2 of us so we couldn’t have much of else since we’re dead full 😂 but the king of all the items is the squid paste on a bamboo. Great presentation and it’s super delicious! The chicken and beef balls are homemade too and believe me they’re just as good 👍🏻
But the best part about this place is the service honestly, we’re mostly handled by what seems to be either the head supervisor or the manager named Fadhil.. and his service is top notch! He seems to always find time to ask for our feedback on our first time here and we felt really welcomed and we had fun! Even gave us a few treats that was honestly really nice of him :) well done, train your servers to do the same and this place will go places with this amazing food quality! Here’s my tip to Fadhil, give him a raise! His service is really well done 👍🏻
Finally atmosphere! Feels really fancy! Comfy and really elegant! Keep it up with the cleanliness 🙏🏻
That’s all folks! Really a place worth trying out! I’ll be coming again with a group this time cuz sadly I eat like a bird 😭😭

Certainly! Here's the translation of your previous message to English:
"Aha, the restaurant is a very interesting place and the best steamboat dining spot among steamboat fans. They offer a fascinating selection of food with 18 menu options, each with its unique taste, especially in the choice of sauces. Highly recommended to try something new at IOI City Mall. Satisfactory service-wise."

Not bad but not as good as many of the other choices. Price is quite high. There's no buffet table for a lot of the meat, you have to order more with QR (albeit for free). The meat all tastes very plain, as if the taste has been frozen out of it. Probably not that fresh, but doesn't taste bad, just tasteless.
Sauces and soup tastes a bit bland and sweet, more suited to yong tau foo than steamboat.
On the plus side, there's variety. So you can have steamboat, grill, or korean. Like a mix between Suki-Ya and Seoul Garden. The bear ice tea is cute too. Service is very nice.

Went for buffet for 2, total bill was RM181.++
1. For starter we chose grill RM60.++ per person
2. Add on drinks and ice cream (not recommended) RM10++ per person
3. Add on special soup RM15. We chose sukiya (special) & tomyam
15mins waited to be served at the front counter and added 10-15mins waiting for table.
I am a fan of grill and my friend likes steamboat. I enjoyed the grill more than the steamboat. The grilled meat was tender and juicy, I like the lamb the most. The steamboat meat was tasteless, even the lamb tasted like normal beef.
The teddy bear milk tea was nice.
The sauces were very slow to get refilled.
Will come again for another get-together. Nice place to hang out.

Their coconut broth was surprisingly good! Recommended to let it boil and put the food inside to make the broth creamy and savoury.
Not much options available for the dishes compared to other outlets (Sukiya etc) but they're fresh.
Service was amazing!

I’ve been here twice and both of my visits were awesome! The foods were great and never failed to impress me! 🤩
Even though it’s quite pricy, I don’t mind eating pricy and good food. Yes guys. Good foods will never be cheap okay haha!
The most attractive is the restaurant vibes/decoration. It makes me felt so comfortable to eat.
The service was great. Every waiter are in our sight and we don’t have to yell or wait for them to come nearby us.
The soup is refillable and we also got free dessert! Ice cream!! 🍨
Thank you Aha! ❤️
