    Hotpot spread - A hot pot dining setup featuring fresh vegetables, sliced meat, noodles, seafood, and dipping sauces on a table.
    Jen H.

    While on a long month of business travel, I knew I needed to find something to get my hotpot fix. Imagine this: landed in Cedar Rapids airport and the first thing I did was search "hotpot" into Yelp. It led me to Boiling Pot. I was sooo happy to find all you can eat hotpot with boba and eventually bbq coming soon (according to one of the waiters). I was able to get all my favorite things to put in hearty pork bone broth. Watercress, glass noodles, fish tofu, perfect portions of beef and pork, and more; I was a very happy camper. Unlimited appetizers sweetens the deal, because I went to town on those coconut butterfly shrimp. The sauce bar was missing sha cha sauce (what I usually eat with hotpot) but the fragrant chili oil they offered made up for it. I wished I could bottle it up and check it in my bag home. Finally, the vibes were uniquely perfect for me. Some of my favorite songs came on and even though I was going on a solo date before a week of conference work, it was the calm I needed. I ended up coming here to kick off my week and end my week. It was worth being here and getting one last hotpot fix before hopping on the plane home. Boiling Pot, you have my heart and I'll be back if I'm back in Cedar Rapids for work (or any other reason)!

    So I arrived in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Looking for a place to eat. My mom from Hawaii told me about the boiling pot. They just opened kinda dead but I wonder the reason. I order the tom yung soap flavor is fire. They have other choices like a herbal mushroom and vegetable . The place is well lit marble floors and comfortable sitting. Attentive staff. This place is a must try if your in town

    Incredible experience. Everything we tried was top notch quality! Crab Rangoon BEST in Cedar Rapids, hands down. Great atmosphere. All you can eat recommended.

It was a slow Tuesday but the service was pleasant and everyone was very nice and service was quick. We didn't wait more than 10 mins for our food to get to us.

The vibe of Hip-Stir ha always been cool and kinda niche and this was no exception. If you don't know that they changed up their menu.. they did. It's not bad by any means, but I am pretty heartbroken about them removing the Spinach Artichoke dip. It was the best around and I'll be overjoyed when it returns. The new menu still features ramen, sandwiches and other yummy dishes. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese with my entree and the food was out in about 20 minutes which is great! Unfortunately my Mac and cheese was forgotten- our server apologized and went to "get that started", no worries. The next time our server was at our table I inquired about it again since it had been about 10 minutes, but she had forgotten yet again. She rushed back to "get it started", ok. At this point everyone was getting full and I didn't even want it anymore, but she returned a few minutes later with it. A little frustrating. The ramen has changed, unfortunately. My sister ordered the spicy pork (which has historically been amazing) and didn't even finish it, which is pretty weird for her lol. I tasted nothing but soy sauce and spice. I'm not sure where the aromatics went, but they need to bring them back asap. Don't order the carrot cake. It was served over coffee (yes, hot coffee) which ruined it. The cake was overly soggy and tasted of nothing but the coffee flavor. I'm sure it would have been great without it, the frosting looked great. I'll probably be back and love supporting the Fun not Fancy group in CR, but last night was a miss.

I'm gluten free and the burger was good (the bun was great!), if ever-so-slightly too juicy. At first, the menu felt incomplete to me, only really having sandwiches. But the burger menu manages to feel special enough to justify this. The ambiance was delightful, but could use a little polish. They don't have good noise control because the hard ceilings and the hard floor reflect all the sound at the patrons. It's not terrible, but it's a detractor. The tables and booths are comfortable, but feel just a tad cheap. Not bad, but certainly room for improvement. And the back patio is a bit plain, you feel like you're missing out if you eat there. They should add some decorations, maybe a mural or something. The service was wonderful. It feels "Mom and Pop," but also like a well-oiled machine. It's close to being a landmark restaurant, but could use that final bit of attention to detail. So: not perfect, but the best place in town.
