In addition, it is probably the cleanest and most organized Chinese restaurant I've ever seen in Utah. My family and I also like their decoration. Quite classic Chinese! The couple worked there were friendly. We especially liked the husband's working attitude. He seems to enjoy his job a lot. We even tipped highly the first time when we had hot pot, which we served ourselves most of time. We didn't enjoy the hot pot so much. Probably because we have tasted a variety of hot pots before, and the Four Seasons Hotpot doesn't have many choices of dishes to cook in the hotpot. Besides, one might calculate the bill carefully when he/she is going to pay. We were overcharged almost 50% of our bill in the beginning. Then we asked to recalculate. It seems to get the correct amount at the second time of calculation. We also had some orders to take out, but we didn't get seperate bill of take-out and stay-in. So we didn't tip based on the total amount. However, we were asked to pay based on the after-tax total amount and tipped 15%. We argued about that, and was given an amount for stay-in bill. We didn't want to recalculate what we really had again, so we tipped 15% based on the amount the owner told us. After we came home, we recalculated the price for our stay-in meal based on the price listed on their online web page, we found that we were asked to tip 15% for $80, but we actually only ordered about $60. I won't say it's a pleasant experience. We've visited there twice in a month, and probably won't go back again. It's not about being asked to tip on a wrong amount. It's about the degree of enjoying a meal in a restaurant. The home-made traditional dishes, such as boiled /steamed Jiaozi and signature salad, are delicious.
