This is one of my favorite hot pot spots!!! No one beats there spicy broth servers are always so friendly, place is always clean!!! Will pick this og over any hot pot spots read more

What can I say: I am their biggest fan. The broth is just undeniably irresistable. I have not found any other place that has hotpot broth as good as Aki's. It doesn't matter that we have summer weather for Christmas, Aki is where we go. Reliable cuts of meat with the exotic pieces always available. Its a healthy indulgement I will always love. They'll never leave you with a half empty glass of water or an empty plate. That's just how good the service is. Always clean, despite the messy nature of hotpot. I always get the spicy broth and my sister the clear pork broth and we mix our bowls together. The waitress said that we can just request for them to do that for is before they bring us the pots! I love this place so much. read more

Second time eating here. Opted for an early dinner to beat the NYE crowd. Clean, simple menu, flavorful food and the most friendly staff. Choose your broth, protein and vegetables, then pick your sauces at the sauce bar. The servers will make sure your water is full and refills on the HotPot fixings are replenished. Tonight we opted for spicy broth and beef and pork belly. The broth was flavorful, very earthy and not very spicy, (to me), which was nice, but I do prefer the more traditional bone broth. You can get an ice cream cup as an included dessert and on NYE they gave us chopsticks in a carrying pouch, lovely touch! Give this a try and walk it off by exploring GW next door. read more

I forgot to take a picture before we started eating but we were so hungry! This has been one of my go to hot pot spot for many years and every time I go it really hits the spot. They put something in their sauce and broth because it is super addicting and I always want to come back. They have a lot of items to choose from and we always get the beef, pork belly, a variety of veggies, and noodles. The servers here are always so much fun and they know exactly what we want because we come here so often. The times I have came in they have always been busy and we usually wait around 10-15 minutes for a table. It's a huge restaurant with lots of space and I also really like how much space there is on the table because always end up ordering a lot. read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This hot pot place has you order everything off a menu, the broth, meat, and veggies. The sauce bar is self serve. There were several options here. I definitely appreciated the garlic sauce and fish sauce. I tend to lean more savory. They have several options meats and veggies. The kids usually get the beef broth and the adults get the spicy one. My only complaint is that I wish there were more than 2 raw beef options. They had several meat and seafood balls, but I would have wanted more of the raw beef that can dipped in the soup. Service was great. They're quick with your orders and friendly. The drinks are in fridge and you just get whatever you want. It's an all you can eat place and for the price, I think it's great for what you get. At the end, everyone does get ice cream. Overall, a great place for a family dinner. I would return. read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Came back from the first time in a while Arrived Friday around 7pm. They gave us a buzzer to wait 20-30min so we headed next door to the Asian supermarket to wait. Nice the buzzer works next door! We got seated in a private party room with another couple instead of the open lobby room Got the spicy hot pot and the bone broth. Next time would skip the bone broth (too mild of flavor) and get two spicy. Sauce station still good. Would not get spicy stuff in my sauce with the spicy hot pot tho Lamb was the meat with the least amount of fat We also got pork belly and pork which had a ton of fat My partner likes the lotus root a lot I like the seaweed kelp and wood ear, squid but he's neutral on them We both were not big fans of the fish balls We liked the beef meat balls, baby bok choy, enoki mushrooms, fried bean curds, Korean rice stick We ordered a second portion of: beef meat balls, lamb, Korean rice stick and fried bean curd Ice cream was delish from blue bunny. Both vanilla and chocolate are flavorful and Rich. I like the chocolate a little more Service was attentive read more

Amazing mom and pop hot pot shop. Price was very reasonable and all you can eat. All the vegetables were fresh and protein choices were excellent. The service was over the moon. Wendy and Chenina were super friendly and attentive. Our water glasses never went empty. They checked in multiple times to make sure we knew hot to use the hotpot's and sauces to mix in. 5 star across the board. If I were local this would be a weekly stop in. read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Ingredients for our hotpot. - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Decent all you can eat hotpot. We came here on Saturday around 5:40pm and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We got table right away. Order was easy. Food took a bit of time to get ready as we ordered for 4 people at once. Almost everything was good. The squid was too chewy than normal fresh squid, so I was unsure of its quality. The soup base flavor was simple and didn't stand out much. There is a sauce bar at the end that you can mix up some stuff as you go. Staffs are friendly. Restaurant was clean. Good price for all you can eat. read more

This is a great place to get your hot pot freak on. You make your own dipping sauce and select what you want them to bring out. I got the spicy broth and added a little more heat. Staff continually checked on me and when I needed more brought out more. read more

Our friends took us to Aki Asian Hot Pot for lunch. Admittedly, I am not a fan of restaurants where I have to work for my food. Basically at Hot Pot restaurants, you choose what kind of broth that you want. The broth you choose is placed in a pot in front of you. While the broth is simmering, you add the ingredients into the broth. Then you take it out when it is done cooking. To me that is work. I like it when the food is already fully cooked, and placed in front of me. Then I just dig in and enjoy. I was the only one in our group who is not a fan of Hot Pot restaurants. All the food that our group ordered appeared fresh. The various meats, seafoods, and veggies all tasted fine. The staff was very attentive and polite. Overall, it was a good experience. Although I am not a fan of these Hot Pot restaurants, everyone else in our group was. They were all happy and satisfied which was nice to see. read more

What's a better treat than enjoying a hotpot in arctic weather like yesterday. Went to Aki Asian Hotpot right by the Mississippi Great Wall Supermarket, as Old Town was closed on Wednesdays. Haven't been here for a while since the opening other more convenient hotpot spots, but was pleasantly surprised by Aki's service, speed and selection. Besides fewer soups and the absence of seafood pancake, crab and fresh oysters, the selection was comparable and more than enough for my appetite. Certainly will come back here more often. read more

Had a wonderful experience with a large party lately! Due to the size of our party, we were seated in a private room which made for great conversation. The restaurant is very large and was absolutely packed on a Friday night, but the food came out quick and the service was so good we always had what we needed. The food was good - typical hot pot items and multiple flavors of broth, there was also a sauce bar that had tons of options for different flavors. We ordered a ton of different items and took the opportunity to sample a little bit of everything. At the end of the meal they brought out ice cream, and our server even brought out a little keychain for those whose first time it was! Impeccable service and would definitely come back! read more

The best thing about this place is probs the price. $23.99 for weekend dinner is pretty much unmatched in any city. BUT that being said, orders that came out was only like 80% accurate. For example we got meatballs which we didn't order and never got 2 other orders that we did put in. On top of that the spicy broth tasted like all it had was peppers. Spice but no depth or seasoning/savory-ness to it. My friend also thought the pork and beef bone broth wasn't that flavorful and a bit watery. The sauce bar didn't have a ton of options or fruit. And the fatty beef meats were cut kinda small making it hard to cook and grab back out. You also would have to keep ordering the beef more often. Some of the veggies weren't that fresh and the beef tripe... don't get me started on it. Just don't get it. And if you order clams. They're huge and take forever to cook just a heads up. Staff was nice and food came out quickly. There was decent variety in the menu. I think if they stepped up their broth game and freshness of some dishes it would be a lot better. read more

Needed to beat the colder weather so hot pot it was! Came here with my mom, we had a slight wait but nothing longer than 15 mins! They have a variety of soup bases and plenty of fixings. We ordered multiple items but they came in smaller portions. The restaurant is fairly large but some tables are placed together so you may have to share with someone next to you. read more

Very authentic! The staff was quite friendly also. A great value. Not as spicy as it is in Chongqing though!

This was my first hot pot experience and I was not disappointed. The price was great ($23.99 for adults) at any time of day for all you can eat with a wide range of options of proteins including meat, seafood and tofu, veggies and noodles to choose from and even an ice cream for dessert. You mark you order on a paper and they will bring your entire order within minutes. They have a few different base broths and a sauce bar with diverse toppings/sauces. If you don't want the spicy broth but do want some spice, you can ask for a side of spicy sauce so you can add as much or as little spice as you like. You boil your food at your table with your individual burner. There are some 4 person benches and some long tables. They are quick to refill water as well as your broths. The only issue we ran into a few times was the burner turning off on it own but staff were quick to fix it for us each time. Parking is not an issue as it is in a large strip mall with lots of parking. We went at 3pm on a Saturday and we're able to get a booth but by 5pm it was filling up so reservations likely recommended for peak times. read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This unlimited hot pot restaurant gives you good food for your bucks. It is decently priced with a two hour limit bottomless request of seafood, meats and veggies. The servers were very attentive to our requests. It always is busy so definitely don't go during peak hours. The ambiance is very nice and clean. I gave this place a 4 star in comparison to other hot pots due to the self serve station offering only a creating your sauce option. But it was delicious, my parents go to restaurant. read more

Aki doesn't have the freshest items like other spots in town, but the service and ambience is always the best. It's kind of like your neighborhood bar where you walk in and everyone knows your name type of vibe. It also is the most affordable and they charge kids by their age vs. other establishments who charge an insane amount. It's definitely a good spot to introduce 1st timers since it doesn't break the bank. The cherry on top is the ice cream that comes at the end! read more

I had a great experience at Aki Hot Pot. We were seated very quickly and a waitress brought over an ordering menu. After you order the food comes out very quickly. The quality of the meats is good as well as the vegetables. They have a wide variety of offerings including proteins, veggies, seafood and noodles. I was disappointed in the sauce bar. For $25 per person for AYCE Hotpot, I would definitely come back here again! There are plenty of seating options and everyone can get their own soup base and cooking station. There is one long table in the middle so if they are busy and you are seated there, you may have to sit next to a stranger but it looked like there was one empty chair between groups when we went. read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Tiktok find! I went here with my sister for my birthday celebration! She had never had hot pot before so i was excited to show her what it was all about :) This was different than the hot pot I'd been to so it was a fun experience for me too. This place shares a parking lot with a lot of other stores so great parking :) It centered close in the middle of the building. It's all you can eat! They have a sauce station to customize your hot pot :) You order off the sheet they hand you and then if you want a refile you have to ask. They have plenty of meat, seafood, and veggie options. I also thought they had a nice variety of noodles. The staff was very attentive and cleared empty plates quickly. Always asked if there was something else they could bring us while they cleared the plates. They do offer ice cream. Individual cups of vanilla or strawberry. Maybe chocolate but I wasn't sure. I would highly recommend going with friends and getting a reservation. We got there right before the rush and got seated right away. read more

The food was delicious. The service was over the top, making our experience very enjoyable. The servers took their time explaining each part of our dinner. The restaurant was clean and open. They didn't rush us and took extra great care of us. I wish they had more variety and more lean meat choices, but for the price we can't complain. Overall we were very pleased with our experience, wished we lived closer to enjoy it more often. read more

Yummy food and great service, my American kids love them , this is the one spot we come for hot pot in town !

One of the best hot pots you can find! All you can eat with so many choices. I am a big fan of the separated serving dishes- making sure you can get your toppings without mixing them before they hit the hot pot. Also love their ability to cater to larger groups. We always go with extended family, and it's nice to have individual hot pots to dig into. Can't wait to go back! read more

As an experienced hot pot eater... This place was not it. Some for minor reasons, but my biggest gripe was that it felt unsanitary. Cons: I ordered some vegetables and it came out in a tiny basket. Mid-meal, I went to reach to grab more veggies to put in my hotpot, and 2 flies crawled and flew out of my basket of veggies. I was completely creeped and grossed out and kinda ruined the whole experience after that. I would have given this place 3 stars if it wasn't for that. Other minor cons- they don't provide ladles to scoop out the stuff out of your soup. The sauce bowls were not even neatly stacked.... Just like a pile of bowls. Idk. Just feels like they aren't even trying at this point. They also never refilled our broth even though our pots were more than halfway empty. I got their bone broth with corn and it was literally just some bone broth with a piece of corn in it lol. It was not super impressive. No aromatics in the broth or anything. Pros: fatty beef (brisket) and other meats seemed pretty decent quality for AYCE. Most other places also give you worse and worse quality as you keep eating but I don't feel like they did that. Their water cups were insulated, which kept your drink from getting hot next to all the steam. My favorite part was they give you blue bunny ice cream cups at the end haha. When they offered free ice cream I thought it was going to be the typical soft serve. so that was nice. As far as the service went- the place was pretty empty so we were taken care of pretty well. They gave us a menu to fill out at the very beginning and then never offered it to us again and just asked if we wanted more stuff The price, I would say, was worth it, if it weren't for the fact of all the cons said above (esp the flies that were flying around). read more

Delicious hot pot with a great variety of proteins and vegetables. The staff were great, and accommodating. It can get a bit crowded but can you blame them when the food is this good?! Came here late on a Saturday night and was a bit surprised that they were willing to seat us inside an hour till closing. But they were very friendly and happily gave us the next open table. They were quick to serve and throughout never really felt a lot of pressure despite the looming closing time and even after closing. The broth was delicious, though I offer a word of caution, hot and spicy is true the word! It packs a punch! The meats and vegetable quality was very good, everything was tasty and came in sufficient quantity. There's a sauce making bar, which was great for personalizing your flavor(s). Overall, this was a great experience. It can get busy so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but as I mentioned the staff is very friendly and accommodating. They'll make sure you leave with a full and happy belly; maybe a bit too full =D read more

I have been wanting to try hot pot for a long time, my wife swears by this restaurant so I had to try it. When you walk in it's very large and open. It's a great place to have big parties but it gets packed fast so you might wait a while. The menu was a little confusing as a newbie to hot pot but my wife recommended the spicy broth and ordered a bunch of protein and noodle options. The broth was amazing it had such great flavor and with all the protein in it I was very pleased. Service was great, all the servers loved our 9 month old son and kept coming by to play with him and check on us. I am excited to come back and try this place again and mix up other ingredients. If you want some great hot pot this location needs to be on your bucket list! read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Spicy hot pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place was recommended to us by a friend. We have never been, so this was a new experience for us. This is a "do it yourself" type of place & and it's all you can eat. So we were handed a menu and ordered what we thought sounded good. Everything comes in smaller portions, which makes sense looking back, but at the time, we realized we should've ordered more, haha. There is a sauce station so you can make your own depending on what you like. We ordered the beef bone broth and the spicy broth as our bases. Beef bone broth is fine, but definitely go with something with more flavor. We added our sauces to give it flavor. Overall, this place is good. They definitely push between you to get your plates and are rather in your face with service. But they are very efficient. On weekends, you have 90 minutes from when you are sitting to eat. They get very busy, so plan for a longer wait if you come in too late on a weekend. read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious and very fresh. The service is always amazing and the price is worth the quality of food that you get. I am a frequent visitor here. read more

The food was good and all you can eat. You check options on a paper and they get served to you almost immediately. By the time our first round was finishing up, they came around to get the order for our second round of food. The spicy soup with pork belly was really good, probably my favorite combination. I have only been to conveyor belt hot pot before this, but they don't have any in the Denver area. This had just as many options and just as fast so I was not disappointed. They also gave complimentary ice cream at the end. Will definitely be my go-to hot pot in the Denver area. read more

What is better on a cold day than all you can eat hotpot! Didn't really come with super high expectations for an ayce hotpot place but it was probably one of the best so far. The broth was just perfect with flavor (5/5). Even though I got the hot-spicy it wasn't tongue burning spicy (so if you like spicy you may need to add extra chili to it). My boyfriend got the beef broth which was a little more bland but hey, I didn't get it. It's all you can eat so they'll give you a sheet to mark off what you want in the beginning. After that, you can just tell the waitress what you want and they'll bring it out. They even have a menu for sauces since they can't have an open sauce bar during covid. There were about 10-15 sauces that you can request. I forgot what I mixed but it was delicious. (5/5) There were a variety of meat, seafood, veggies, and noodles to choose from. There's not such thing as enough options so you can always add new things to the list :) (4/5) The service was excellent! (5/5) Our friends are regulars here and the waitresses remembers them. The food came out within 5 mins ( we were right next to the kitchen but they were fast to other tables as well). They cleaned the empty plates pretty quickly and were always checking on us to see if we needed anything else. Our broth, food, and water never went low. We were always constantly eating and we ate pretty fast. I didn't even noticed that my water got refilled and accidentally spilled a little. Whoopsie. At the end, we had complementary ice cream. It was actually pretty good, wasn't expecting it to taste good at all. The place was clean and had good social distancing. We will definitely come back when we visit again. You can't really beat this for $21 per person! read more

Second time I visit here, and it was even better than the first! Not because they changed anything in their menu, but rather because I knew better what to order. Both times the place was packed, with a nice and diverse group of customers but, its loyal asian customers is what speaks best to the high quality of food you will get! For a fixed $25, you can order anything in their menu and as often as you want to cook in your personalized hotpot, including various choices of side sauces, and an ice-cream cup at the end. Service is fast, and the waiters take constant care of you! Definitely a place to check to enjoy quality food with friends! Give it a try! read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Front entrance - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I had the beef broth and my partner had the pork broth. Both were tasteless and had a slight fishy taste. The base is the most important thing to me considering everything else isn't marinated and you could just buy it and cook it yourself at home. Aside from that, the service was great and I loved the variety at the self-service sauce station, so I'm giving it three stars. I've been to better spots with much tastier broth. read more

Aki Asian Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Ambiance: Open. Some Botha on one side and a private room in the back. Reach table has 4 hot plates embedded in it. They pushed tables together for larger groups. Service: FAST, once you get seated. It was a 45+ minute wait on a Saturday at 4:40pm. Super popular. It's all you can eat, but you have to fill out what you want on a sheet of paper - like at a sushi restaurant. You have to eat everything you order, so be considerate of that. Food: Fresh veggies. Frozen thin slices of meat. Buffet area of sauces and spices to add. Highly recommend garlic sauce. Would like to come back with a bigger group. Just the BF and I had a hard time finishing all the food we ordered. Would've been nice to share with more people. read more

I love that they give you ice cream after your meal too which was fun and unexpected. I would most certainly come back. We paid roughly around $25 per person for unlimited hot pot options. read more
