Probably one of the better AYCE in all of NYC but service is not great anymore... Upon first visit some time last year, they had the best food and best service ever but the more I went, the less friendly the staff have gotten. Quality of food also have went down and the worst part is, I'm starting to notice how slow they have gotten. The past few times, we would wait about 10-15 minutes before the food comes. Ideally, that is normal in a regular restaurant but this is a hot pot spot where we cook it ourselves. There were multiple times where my friends and I would still be eating and they'll tell us they need the room for the next guests but we haven't been there for long either. Given the fact that they bring us our food super late all the time, the staff should really consider how long it takes for them to bring us our menu items, how long it cooks etc. Celebrating birthdays here is not a thing either. We had asked for them to bring the cake out on 2 separate occasions and they would just plop the entire box down on our table, with it still in the box and bag. How embarrassing! At least light the candles and bring it. We're not asking for you to do a whole show. To sum it up, soup base is great. Food is okay. Don't get the raw oysters here! It's never fresh. Keep in mind that you'll end up with around $80pp (this includes the AYCE menu and the soup base prices). read more

The 1st floor decor and interior renovation seemed nice, but they sent us to the basement as we had a party of 7. The basement looked like a working area and no interior decoration at all. There was a big round table in the room and small pots were placed by the edge for individual usage. The chairs were way to low and it was very uncomfortable. If I needed to get the raw food to place in my pot, I would have to stand up to get it. I was doing standing up (to grab food) and sitting down (to eat) for approximately 90 minutes throughout the meal. They had very limited food selections and drink options. Some typical hotpot foods (i.e. fish balls, beef ball, watercress, etc.) were not available there. The price came with free drinks, but the can sodas were placed by the sauce section (not even in fridge) and there were only a few choices of drinks available. The service was prompt and the servers quality were very different. One waiter was very friendly and attentive, but the other waitress seemed know nothing about the food. I asked the waitress what was one of the raw food on the plate, she said she did not know but she would find out. Then she never came back to me with an answer. The shrimps were very fresh and still jumping on the bowl. They were generous about food portion, but the seafood options were very limited given the price it charged. The overall experience was so so and I did not plan to come back again unless I hear improvement from other people. Parking was also an issue. read more

Food is okay but don't expect too much from them. Combined with the food and service, it wasn't worth the cost at all. I would not even recommend it for that amount with that amount of seafoods. read more

When we got to 37 Xiang, they seemed really busy so we got seated in a big room downstairs. However, this room was only kbbq and we let them know that we stated we wanted hotpot so initially we got placed in the wrong room after notifying them. Once they put us in the new room, we were able to start ordering. First off the sauce bar is on a rolling cart outside of the room and what is unfortunate about this is that at times other rooms were using this in their room so if I wanted to refill or make a new combination of sauces, I would have to wait until they finished before I could use it which was a hassle. Secondly, the service was quite slow bringing out the food, especially the meats. We would order several quantities, however, they would only bring out one plate, which was not enough because it would be eaten by very quickly leading to have to reorder and wait for several minutes again just to get another one. They do have good quite the diversity and freshness in meats, seafoods, fried, hot foods etc. so I will give it to them on that. But based on my experience here with the service, I probably wouldn't come here again. read more

37 Xiang - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is my first AYCE hot pot buffet with sushi and I have to say that it's a game changer! As a party of 7, we had a private room with karaoke in the basement. The service was incredible and the sushi was extremely fresh. I enjoyed the raw oysters, sashimi, and fresh fruit juices. For the hotpot, although we were charged per soup base, we were able to customize the spiciness, which was appreciated. The snowflake beef is the best protein option. Our reservation was around 8pm on a Saturday and we stayed until closing at 11pm. I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

I first learned about 37 Xiang because all of their tables are in their own private rooms/stalls and that really appealed to me during this panini, and was absolutely sold when I learned they include sashimi and oysters as part of their AYCE menu, so this was the first restaurant I dined indoors at in many months, and came back to celebrate my birthday with a larger group 2 months later. They have a handy automated system that handles reservations and the waitlist. Our first visit, our table-ready text came 40 minutes after the confirmation text, so we returned and were promptly seated in a little stall that could seat 4? up to 6?? We were actually checking how ventilated it was since we were being so cautious and were super impressed by the very low CO2 readings we go, so we ate quite comfortably, save for the bit of a draft from the window on what wound up being a chillier night. ONTO THE FOOD First, I have to say my expectations for the quality of the sashimi and oysters were low and they were exceeded! Very solid raw fish and I slurped down a lot of oysters. (Oysters do come with a little bit of cocktail sauce already dabbed on each one, as a heads up, and lemon wedge for you to squeeze.) We chose our broths, the condiments cart was wheeled to right outside our little stall, and our food came fairly quickly, too. I appreciated the several cold appetizer options that help offset the heaviness/richness that can come with eating hotpot, like kimchi, cucumber salad, blueberry with daikon (I rarely see this in the US), and seaweed salad. I really liked the variety of options we had with the hotpot. Fatty lamb and beef AND a "snowflake" beef (even more fat marbled in), plus nearly all of my favorite things, like fish roe balls, shrimp paste, different mushrooms, and several items I don't see as often here in the US (especially at AYCE places), like egg tofu, duck blood, pork kidney, and shirataki knots. The veggie menu looks small but is the leafy greens, as the other veg are with the other items. I also really appreciated that our server took our order and then came back to remind us we hadn't ordered any seafood for the hotpot yet. The seafood offerings here are often additional charges at other places, so make sure you take advantage of them to get the bang for the premium price here, like we did with some lovely crabs. They do have a premium seafood menu that has an extra charge and requires reservation. When we came back with a larger group, we ordered watermelon juice from their pretty extensive juice menu for the table as another refreshing treat to offset the good food. Our server also let us know that beverages were included (careful not to fill up on fizzy drink!) so my dad was even able to satisfy his soymilk craving. At the end, we also were able to grab some ice cream, which we ok-ed with the server don't you worry haha Each of the rooms/stalls also has a spot for you to put emptied plates as they are cleared so that you can make more room for new food, and the servers will clear them on their way out, which I think is a really nice and streamlined experience for the private dining format. With regards to service, we were checked on and could call a server with a button without having to wait more than a few moments, so no worries about being left neglected for a long time here. BONUS: Party rooms (8+) have karaoke?? I scoured the Yelp reviews to see how people liked it but didn't see any details. We were actually too busy eating and catching up after not seeing many friends for so long to even touch the karaoke setup. They have a beer/wine/soju/sake menu here so I can see this getting pretty lit Small nitpicks were that we had a small stove issue at one of the seats, but since there were extra stoves at the table this was resolved fairly quickly. Also, don't be heartbroken when the condiments cart gets rolled to another stall that arrives after you but be aware of it in case you wonder where it went while trying to get topped up! All in all, I'm already looking forward to going back, as the higher price is worth it to me for the private dining experience and the added variety of options like sashimi and oysters. read more

This hot pot place in Flushing is not only AYCE, but each dining party also gets a PRIVATE ROOM! It was definitely my first time ever dining in a private room for hot pot, so the experience felt so much more elevated and unique. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the front desk who then led us to our appropriate dining room. For ordering, we placed orders on an IPad. We got to pick two flavors for the pot so opted for the tomato and the herbal broth. The tomato broth was really good - super strong tomato flavors, loved that. The dipping sauce station is right outside our door and it's DIY, the labels were all in Chinese so would also recommend adding English so it's more accessible. We ordered a bunch of different dishes to try. I really liked the shrimp paste, they came in a heart shape, it was so cute! I also ordered some stuffed tofu which came imprinted with the Chinese letter for "good luck" on the surface, really appreciated that element of detail. We really enjoyed our experience here from the meat to the seafood, and the vegetables. The one suggestion from the vegetables would be to add lotus, it's one of our favorite foods for hotpot. If you're looking for an AYCE but more upscale and private option, this could be a good spot to try out! P.S. follow me on Instagram for more food content: @alice.likes.food read more

Incredible! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and service were five star. I love the "all-suite" concept where each table has its own private room. There are sharing and individual options, so be sure to specify your preference in advance (see photos). Bountiful menu with way more options that I've had at other hot pot places, and not just quantity, but quality. For starters we had boneless Chicken Feet, which for someone who doesn't like Chicken feet made it extremely tolerable, dare I say enjoyable! I was reluctant to get the Fried Crispy Pork owing to previous let downs, but this one was very good. I love that they use Pork Belly for this instead of tenderloin. Wasn't perfect, but a solid 4.5. SURPRISE - they even offer Sashimi in the tasting menu. The Yellowtail was super buttery, salmon was cut in thick slices, and there was octopus, shrimp, scallop, and white tuna. They were all better than expected - again, not a sushi restaurant so don't come here just for this, but perfectly acceptable and enjoyable. *** WARNING *** I really like shrimp, and can appreciate my seafood being fresh, and even picking a fish to be killed in front of me and cut up. HOWEVER, today was a first for me and I'm not sure how I feel about it. They serve "Live Shrimps" that have been impaled by a skewer and served while still frantically kicking their legs and moving around. You watch them slowly die at the table as if they were victims of Vlad the Impaler (Count Dracula). If you are squeamish, I would not recommend ordering. ********* Everything else that was served, from meats to rice cake and spicy cucumbers were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and recommend to everyone. I will be back without question - passing on the shrimp though. read more

This was a nice treat we got to experience. We had a reservation and were promptly led to our private room. The interior was dark and interesting. We ordered tons of the sashimi and we loved the white tuna, very smooth and rich. The sauce cart was conveniently placed outside as soon as we ordered. We started off with oysters and sashimi while we waited for our hotpot broth to arrive. The sashimi was very fresh and the oysters came with a dollop of slightly spicy red sauce. We then irdered soy milk and fresh pomello and honey juice. You could tell it was fresh because it had pulp that seemed like it was squeezed through. We ordered plenty of meats and seafood for our soup. I think the price is valid for the amount of AYCE seafood available. The appetizer/ side dishes were so good too. Blueberry radish and cucumbers were so refreshing and fit perfectly with our fatty meats. In the end, we were treated to a cup of ice cream each. I would highly recommend coming here and plan to in the future as well. read more

Chilly weather calls for hotpot right!?!? . @37xiangnyc is an AYCE Hotpot and Sushi - starting at $52, which doesn't include the broth. So you're looking at about $60 more or less depending on the your broth. They had shabu shabu (individual) and traditional (family style) where you share the broth... . They have private/separate rooms rather than out in the open. . I think for the most part they are just OK.. they didn't have the largest variety of meats, and their sushi was even less variety. You can google/Yelp for menu... . We got a split pot, tomato and winter melon. The broths were not deep/rich in flavor. If it were good, you can sometimes skip the sauce, but you'll need sauce. And their sauce station was pretty weak. They don't have a area but rather a push cart that they can push to your table... . The service was ok, pretty attentive when you need them. Missed some items... It's also great they have a garbage can under the table. I'm one of those that cleans every splatter lol... . The meats were good, maybe the best part. Veggies are veggies. Otherwise, all else was something we can easily get at the supermarket. . For about $60 (not including tax and tip), I may have expected the quality/options to be better. At $60, the variety was a bit lacking. I think they target the quantity rather than quality... I think there are more places in flushing that you can have a better experience for $60... read more

Loved it so much I went two days in a row. Service was great and the all you can eat (mostly, except for specialty items) was excellent. We were offered all you can eat live mantis on the first day and it was delicious. As in all these hot pot venues, how good your food is highly dependent on your sauce and cooking as you are your own chef. I think i did great so I'm giving myself 5 stars.. read more

Came back here with friends. This place has become a disappointment. Everything on tablet is pretty much sold out for an all you can eat place. You can only order from their waiter. We complained to let them know to the staff and manager. But they said the owner is trying something new with this where you order with the waiter. But you are here to eat with a limited time. When you order something with them. It takes awhile to come out. On top of that they forget something's we order. Or our hot tea we ordered from when we sat down. Never came out. They gave complimentary watermelon juice but that doesn't help resolve anything. Only thing on tablet you can order is things you pay for. They increased to $58 per person and you can barely get a hot tea here. Or items on our menu that we ordered without like 30 mins later. The staff are super friendly. But this new change is very inconvenience for the customer and the staff who has to run around. After this time I don't know if we will be back again. I use to introduce this place to my friends. But now my friends have some bad experience from here too. read more

Expensive, low quality ayce sushi seafood hotpot is the best way to describe this place. Was super excited to come here as they had a combo of my favorite things here, sushi, oysters, hotpot, but after trying a couple of the items here was extremely extremely dissapointed with how mediocre the quality of the items were. Sushi was not fresh and neither were the oysters, hotpot items lacked variety and was dissapointed and items contained a really weird fish which we accidentally ordered to our detriment. I love the concept and variety here, but would love if this place took the effort to step up the quality read more

37 Xiang - Sushi - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

Hot pot and sashimi???? Two of my favorite things! I heard about this place from a friend and knew I had to try it to so I made a reservation for my family last Saturday night. I was able to get a same day reservation for 6 which was nice. When we got there, there was a bit of a wait ~15 mins but not too long. I'm not sure if the entire restaurant is like this but we had our own small private booth with a sliding door which for our party perfectly. We ordered a handful of sashimi and a bunch of oysters to start. The oysters were decent but not amazing, not surprising given that it's AYCE. The sashimi was pretty good we got yellowtail, salmon and octopus, it seemed pretty fresh and served over a bed of ice. We were also gifted grilled oysters which were HUGE, as a complimentary item for their anniversary. Now the hot pot, the meat seemed pretty high quality to me. I loved the fatty beef and my family enjoyed the snowflake beef. We also got a bunch of seafood like crabs, clams and more, all of which were very fresh. Definitely recommend the shrimp too, they were super big and plump. They also had a wide assortment of veggies, noodles and fish cake - all that you would want for hot pot. The broth was the only area that I felt like fell a bit below my expectations. The tomato broth had a good tomato flavor but was a bit salty for my taste, I wished it was sweeter. The pork bone broth, herbal broth and mushroom broth kind of tasted similar to me. I wished there was a bit more to the broth. The sauce, you can make yourself, they have all The ingredients on a cart that is easily assessible. Overall the food was pretty good and high-quality. The service was pretty decent nothing special. At the end of the day this place only was four stars for me because it's at a much higher price point, although the food was higher quality, it is still quite expensive. read more

An AYCE restaurant that uniquely serves both sushi and hotpot buffet. I appreciated how the booths are set up so you have a very private dining experience, but immediately was a bit turned off by the service. We were a pretty large and hungry group, so naturally had a long list of items on our first order, but our waitress gave off very impatient vibes. After ordering, I asked another waitress where the restroom was, only to have her point in a very general direction without even looking up from her work iPad. The sashimi was fresh given that it was ayce and the quality of the hotpot food was average. I'm not sure if I'd say completely worth the price given that you have to pay an additional $5-6 for your broth. Why not just include that in the base price? The portion size was a bit inconsistent. For example, a mountain of tripe was given but only 6 fish tofu pieces, resulting in us constantly having to reorder. There were also multiple instances where they either missed items, duplicated items, or gave us items we didn't even order. I got the spicy Mala broth which was standard but quite oily - I am normally guilty of drinking some of the broth but steered clear of it this time as it completely congealed in my bowl after a couple minutes break during the meal. Probably will not return given that the experience was rather lackluster, considering Flushing is full of hotpot options that provide both good food and good service at a comparable or even better price point. read more

I've worked at 3 shabu/hotpot restaurants- so I'm very aware of the work it takes to offer a good experience. My husband and I have come to this restaurant about 5 times in the past 3 years. There's been a year in 2022 where we were unhappy with our experiences, but we enjoyed the first few visits there, which is why we've returned obviously. We decided to give it another try this visit back to NY and we wanted to make it a point to write a review to say that our experience was top notch this time. They have a few less options as before (probably for sustainability & consistency reasons so we happy with that) but their service was better than ever and the food was more satisfactory than any of the other times we've been there. Ambiance was great as they gave us the perfect amount of attention where they didn't bother us but they were attentive also. read more

37 Xiang - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

37 Xiang is an All You Can Eat Hot Pot plus sashimi KTV restaurant for about $70 per person with tips and tax. If you reserve a room for 8 guests and up, there are private rooms in the lower level with KTV. The time limit is 2 hours but they let us stay until 11pm. The service was great and the food was plentiful with good portion sizes. The menu is extensive for an all you can eat place including shrimp cocktail, oysters, crabs, jumbo prawns, and various cuts of beef. The food and soup bases are 4/5 in terms of quality. There is $3 parking two blocks down at Tangram currently so it is a great late nite location for dinner plus movies. read more

What a difference between this expensive AYCE hot pot restaurant versus the cheaper one like the 99 hotpot, half of block down the same street. Price might be 2.5 times more but the quality was so much better. The final price was about $75 to $80 a person. Raw oysters and sashimi were all fresh. The oysters were a bit small compared to a la carte and it wasn't worth reordering it. We did get multiple orders of yellowtail and sea scallop sashimi. I can only said once the orders were taken, it came super fast. If you even been to those cheaper AYCE restaurants, anything expensive will take about 20 to 30 minutes before landing on the table. We re-ordered approximately 6 times and the speed never disappoints. The same situation happened when we re-ordered raw food for the hotpot. The kitchen really prepared everything fast. Love their handling speed. There are two style of hot pot, individual or family style. We got the family style with one soup base on each side. Luckily, we went during a weekday and we didn't have to wait. The space is relatively small with each party has an individual room. Servers were not attentive compared to regular dine in restaurant. Food was great but services needed improvement. read more

Came to check this place out after my bestfran saw it on Tiktok. We both love hotpot and sashimi, and it looked bomb in the video, so why not?? We wound up at the wrong hotpot restaurant at first, but thankfully found our way here. The entrance was a lil shabby...bulk supplies like paper towels and stuff on the floor next to the front desk, but maybe they've fixed it now. We were also a little surprised that there was no wait compared to the other place. Better for our hungry selves! Dining is very private; every party gets their own individual room. We were pleasantly surprised at this, but were also shocked when we were placed at a table with no one to explain the menu to us or how the ordering system worked. Finally we pressed the call button and someone came with no greeting, just ready to note down everything we wanted to order as we flipped through their ginormous menubook. Then, it was time to make our sauce, and it was the most bizarre sauce system ever. They had a sauce cart that they push down the hall upon request but it doesn't even completely fit at the doorway. We had to lean our bodies out to get access to some items, while people were walking back and forth in the hallway. Our food came, and it was mostly good, but nothing outstanding. The hotpot food was standard, and the sashimi was fine. The service also stayed unimpressive, so that kind of took away from the whole experience. Maybe I'm just too used to the amazing service offered at other hotpot spots. I would only recommend this restaurant for someone who doesn't care too much about service and vibes, but rather just wants some private AYCE hotpot with some sashimi on the side. read more

Aesthetically this place is beautiful, but this is definitely a treat / experience versus a go-to hot pot place. Pros: AYCE sashimi, snowflake meat is amazing, all the seafood and other options are fantastic, great aesthetic, individual pots Cons: Broth costs extra, $50 for the base price, sashimi is pretty slow to arrive, the food they bring you is based on your group size, ice cream at the end is the kind you'd get at school with a little wooden spoon, they bring the sauce bar to you and it can be a bit awkward read more

May be the best tasting and most flavorful hotpot in flushing. Straight up fire if you can eat the value back. It has a good variety of seafood, meats and veggies + desert. Sashimi being part of the unlimited menu is great for people who don't want to hotpot but want to join in on the fun. Note that drinks are not included and range from $6 for a glass and $15 for a pitcher. Dessert IS included though. Also note that there is a charge for the soup base for the hotpot. Which you need for hotpot sooooo all you can eat price + the $18.95 hotpot soup base. Bonus tip: order salmon sashimi and put it in the pot for some cooked salmon as well! read more

Overall mediocre experience. Reservations are only for 6+ people, and they put you in a little room which is nice. The apps are hit or miss - we got shrimp cocktail, spicy pork gyozas and oysters. Do not get the oysters - super fishy smell and not fresh. The sashimi combo is pretty good! Service was very poor - they needed to bring us a physical menu to point at every individual thing. They have a little buzzer to ring for a server to come. The beef is pretty good, but nothing else was notable. We asked for our items again and again, and they would forget and we have to reorder. I asked 3 different people for more beef 5X and no one brought it. For an ALL YOU CAN EAT shabu shabu place that doesn't make any sense. We received one round of beef in 1.5 hours. What am I meant to be eating if no one is bringing any food? It comes to about $70 per person after tax and tip like come on, and you have to pay $5.50 for a soup base. On that note they pretty much forced us to get a large soup bases because our table only had big burners... and then there was no space to put the food. FYI Only soda is included in the AYCE but not juice. I'm sure the response to this review will be 'to notify the team' but I will not be back to see if there's any improvement. read more

Party of 3...Initial cost per person $51.99 (if over 145cm = ~4' 9"). A small pot is $5.50, and large pot is $18.50. Cost: $155.97 (base fee for 3) + $16.50 (3 soups) = $172.47 (subtotal) + $15.31 (tax @8.875%) = $187.78 Two types of booths (from what I could see): one was for the combo pot for two different broths, and the other was individual pots (4). We asked to be in the individual pots booth. My party ordered the small pork bone soup, small mixed mushroom soup, and small spicy skewers soup. There is also a small sauce bar that gets rolled to your booth. All 3 soup bases were very rich from the start. All the food ordered were fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly and would regularly come by to change out our plates/remove empty plates from the room. The only hiccup is that some items ordered didn't come and some that we didn't order showed up but we didn't notice until the end (thankfully it was only 3 appetizers). I would return and highly recommend this spot. read more

37 Xiang - Oyster and seafood - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

37 Alley provides an incredible experience and is, by far, the best AYCE hot pot restaurant I've been to. The quality of the food is top notch, and the extensive menu is quite luxurious. I don't usually care for service/ambiance in my reviews, but both of these qualities were remarkable. My party of two had a reservation around noon on a Wednesday and were promptly seated in a semi-private room with a shared pot (they also have personal pot options). The pot was a huge square settled over an induction burner with plenty of space for any ingredients you'd like to add. There is also a small table for extra dishes or waste. The restaurant has a couple of sauce carts with 12 classic hot pot condiments including shacha bbq sauce, seafood sauce, tahini sesame paste, minced garlic, green onions, etc. The room and bathrooms were quite clean and in good shape. The restaurant had some chill Chinese pop music going, a subtle way to keep conversations between rooms sufficiently private without using loud jarring club music like some other restaurants seem to do. The service was notable. The staffers were friendly, bilingual, and highly attentive (there were at least 3 staff taking care of the various private rooms). They would remove empty dishes quickly, replace messy plates without being asked, and were quick and quiet about their work. The menu selection and quality really justify the price point for this establishment. Highlights of the menu included at least 7 thin sliced beef options, a decent variety of sashimi, geoduck, Australian lobster, king crab, oysters, live shrimp, prawns, crab legs, shrimp cocktails, clams, mussels, scallops, carp, Japanese tofu. This is all on top of 6 different soup bases to choose from and classic hot pot items. Not only is the menu selection extensive, the quality of the food was really as fresh as what I'd expect from a fish market. The scallops tasted sweet and firm. The live shrimp were tender. The salmon and yellowtail sashimi were firm and fresh. Oysters were oh so succulent. Even the crispy pork (basically popcorn chicken but with pork) were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and not too oily. The Japanese tofu was like a soft tofu yet held its shape incredibly well. There was no limit to how much we could order (you must pay for what you don't finish, of course), so we could have asked for all lobsters and oysters if we wanted to! Just be aware that there is an extra charge for uni but not for normally luxury items like lobster, sashimi, etc. The only items that I didn't particularly enjoy were the cucumber salad (too chunky and not seasoned too well) or the gizzard (I prefer this at yakitori cooked over an open flame), but everything else was amazing. I could go on and on about the quality of the food, but it's definitely something one must experience in person! read more

Had a great time here with a big group of 14. We got a room downstairs that also had KTV! Even though some seafood was extra and also soup is not included in the AYCE pricing, the variety is extensive. (The sushi was surprisingly decent - the scallop was my favorite. Oysters and cold appetizers were weaker.) The price is well worth having a form of entertainment throughout the dinner. We stayed until almost closing and no one rushed us out. I will say that the servers need to be more knowledgeable about what alcohol they have to offer. It seemed like they were also out of half the beers on the menu and at one point during the night, our waiter said they might have been out of cold Sapporos. read more

A new all you can eat spot in flushing!! Alley 37 is not the first AYCE spot for hotpot, but definitely a great spot for seafood hotpot. When we first walked in, we got a very traditional Chinese dining atmosphere, but what really impressed me was the private party seating. Each party pretty much has their own room and inside the room, there is a bell that we can ring for servers. I pressed it and servers would come within 2 minutes. In terms of food, there are lots of options ranging from seafood like oysters, fresh live shrimp, sashimi, clams, crab, etc. The meats also included snowflake beef, fatty beef, wagyu beef. The all you can eat made it such a steal for all these items!! My favorite item was definitely the shrimp paste- which is ground shrimp that you scoop and throw into the broth, it was so fresh and so tasty!! The service was amazing and the food was really good - I am so excited to bring more friends back. 10/10 would come back again read more

What a great addition to flushing! This place is easy to miss from the outside and I believe it's fairly new to the neighborhood. It's a premium all you can eat seafood hotpot place for $48.80 per person, but is not limited to just seafood. They've a huge variety of balls, meat and veggies as well. The decor here is awesome. Upon entrance, there is a host to check you into your own private dining booth. They even bring the carts of sauces over to you! My group of 4 ordered sashimi and oysters which are included in the price, live shrimp, fatty beef, premium fatty beef, duck blood, beef tripe and an assortment of veggies. Appetizers are also included and we tried the fried pork and cucumber which we all loved. Everything is incredibly fresh and the broths here hit the spot! read more

Can you feel the heat? Hot pot is not for the faint of heart or stomachs. The mix of the peppers and peppercorns and even the spicy ginger are no joke. It may not seem too spicy at first but the zing hits you later. Its a slow burn that excites your tastebuds and is very addicting which is why I when I heard about 37 Alley I definitely wanted to try their version of seafood hotpot and knowing its All You Can Eat it was a definite go. Hot pot is a meal best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. It is a communal meal that takes a lot of time to enjoy in stages. I usually like to start off with the meat, then the fish, the fish balls and tofu, then add the veggies, last is noodles so you don't fill up too soon and then drink the soup. 37 Alley offers a pot with two sides. Two flavors makes everyone happy. I am a spice lover so I opted for the spicy malatang broth and my friend ordered the pork bone broth. They even had a tomato broth, wintermelon soup and herbal soup base. They continually refill the broth as your soup evaporates. It made me happy to start off my meal with some sashimi before getting to the main event. They had yellowtail, salmon, tuna and more. The white tuna and salmon was soft and melt in your mouth and the chilled cucumber salad and blueberry radish was nice and crunchy and helped to soothe my mouth between bites with a tangy sweet kiss. Be ready to want to order the whole menu as this is an AYCE spot. The price is worth it since if you ordered all this seafood a la carte it would definitely be more. I didn't get to fully peruse the menu since the waitress was eager to take our order and we may have missed some things since there was so much on the menu. My friend likes fish and seafood more which was fine since they specialize in seafood hotpot. The seafood was very fresh. The sliced octopus was my absolute favorite. The clams made me happy as a clam. They also have special skewered shrimp which looked fun to try and made it look easy to cook and eat. They have a good selection of meat but since it was lunch I only ordered the sliced lamb and snowflake beef. For me ordering lamb is a must when you go to any hotpot. The sliced lamb pairs well with the warm spices. The snowflake beef was very tender and soft and sliced very thin for faster cooking. A 10 second dip and it should be done. We also ordered two types of tripe as I like eating spicy tripe. It was really good cooked with the soup and not too tough. The wagyu looked super tasty but I did not know if I could finish it and I did not want it to go to waste. We tried the Japanese tofu but we preferred the fried fish tofu and fried tofu skins instead. The doughy fried fish tofu soaks in all those good flavors. Fishballs are definitely the second most important thing to get at any hotpot so we ordered some bouncy cuttlefish balls to bob around in our hotpot. I also enjoyed the shrimp paste with the roe which you drop into the pot by the spoonful and makes little round tasty balls like a fish ball. The fish was good however there were some tiny pin bones in the live swimming fish order but it comes with the territory when you eat any fish that can happen. We had some ramen to finish our meal. The noodles are a great vehicle to absorb the flavors of all the oils from the meat in the broth. They bring the sauce station to the entrance of your room so you can make your own special concoction for dipping but the broth was so good I didn't really dip too much. I usually have a mix of chili sauce, chili oil, sambal hot sauce, garlic, black vinegar, soy, and peanut sauce for some creaminess. We got a carafe of the honey grapefruit drink which was super refreshing after all of the spicy food and a good palate cleanser. The waitstaff constantly checked on us and even refilled our soup 3 times. The food came quickly. They were all nice and courteous and they even speak Mandarin and Cantonese. These private booths are great for a lunch date or a private rendezvous with your hot pot loving lover. They could fit 4 comfortably and for 2 people it was super roomy. Being in a private room helped us to focus on the conversation and the food without the din of a large dining room which to me is the perfect dining setting especially not having to rub elbows with other germy strangers. They even have other rooms for larger parties if you decide to bring your crew. The décor looked very wabi sabi and minimalistic yet comfortable. This is a great place for hotpot if you are a seafood lover especially after a night of debauchery as they're open late until midnight or good for a small family dinner. With each person getting a private room you wouldn't even know if there are other customers. Definitely a premium AYCE hotpot experience. read more

Authentic Korean hot pot style cooking! Lots of seafood and meat options for your soup base. The meat options tend to be fatty for flavor, so know you're not necessarily eating lean here. Several soup bases, including a hot one that stayed with me awhile. Good considering it was December and kept me warm! Veggie options were limited, this felt akin to going to a Brazilian steak house - you go for the proteins. Cost about the same, too, at about $45/ adult all you can eat. read more

If you're a hot pot lover and/or seafood lover, this is the place for you! Upon entering, you're kindly greeted in a traditional Chinese interior and brought to a personal dining room with its own vent, a traditional Chinese village-style roof and sliding doors--perfect for dining indoors during the pandemic. The personal dining room was big enough to seat about 6 people, had good lighting with a large central hot pot space, plenty of counter space for your dishes, and a call button if you need service. The sauce cart is pushed right to the room door so you don't need to leave the comfort of your room to make your hot pot sauce(s)! The waiters and waitresses were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about menu items. In terms of the menu, it was quite diverse with a wide range of seafood, meat, vegetarian, and drink options! For my hot pot I had a 2-broth split pot of the special herbal soup and the spicy skewer soup. I personally loved the spicy boneless chicken feet, okra, and sashimi for appetizers and for hot pot I loved the fresh oysters, snowflake beef, fatty beef, pork belly, Japanese tofu, assorted vegetables, and shrimp paste! Everything came out efficiently and tasted so fresh! I am so full and satisfied, had the highest quality AYCE seafood hot pot experience, and definitely would recommend! read more

Food 3.5/5.0 Service 4.0/5.0 Value 3.5/5.0 Decor 3.5/5.0 Overall 3.5/5.0 Its the soup base, duh. I really wanted to like this place. The ingredients are very good quality. Service was great, though I wish they had digital ordering. The AYCE includes sashimi, live shrimp, etc. Price is high but you really are getting quite a bit of value for it. The stalls are well-separated. They even wheel the sauce station to you! Its sooo close to being a great, perhaps even one of the best, AYCE options in NY... almost. But ugh that soup base just wasn't there. And it felt like every time the soup got refilled the flavor got diluted even more (it looked like broth and not water though?). Also, not enough salt. I want this place to be good. I almost wish it. Sooo close. Please fix the soup base!!! I hope mgmt sees this... I'll go back at some point to find out... read more

The place was honestly just okay. I got the pork bone broth and that was pretty flavorful. They do have cucumbers in there for those that have cucumber allergy. Came around 3pm and were seated pretty quick in the basement. The room we were in was pretty cold but eventually warmed up as we were eating The fried crispy pork was really good and the snow beef. The first round of snow beef was really tender and delicious. The second round wasn't as good as the first one. The menu is a QR code that you scan on your phone. I wish it had pictures so that you can see what you're ordering. We had ordered boneless chicken and it turned out to be chicken feet so that was misleading. The veggie selection is small with only 5 choices and they had run out of A choy I'm not a big sashimi person but based from my other friends who ate it, they said that it was okay. The oysters did not look good so I would stay away or we got a bad batch. I probably wouldn't come back again because I don't find it worth it for the price read more

Expensive for acye. The concept and setup seems high end especially when you have your own private booth. However the booth is very cramped and it sucks that you have to keep standing up if you have more than 2 in 1 booth. The sashimi and oysters are fresh but not amazing. Seafood and beef are all fresh but once again nothing amazing. With the price point of $75 bucks per person and the average service (no one offered dessert; water with no ice), I would rather spend the money at Haidilao. You have to pay for the acye and the soup base. Maybe because we were all girls and we're not constantly ordering endless amounts of food, they allowed us to stay past 2 hours as we were mainly chatting at one point. If you come super hungry and can eat a lot sitting in an enclosed booth, this is a good place for it. read more
