Let me first start off by saying this was literally some of the best Service I have ever received at a restaurant. It was a slower night however I was in a party of about 15 people & not only did the server keep the food coming out back to back. They were so pleasant & attentive. The food was amazing. I ate until I had to unbutton my pants. You really get your monies worth at this place. I've been ranting & raving about it since my visit. Definitely a must try & I forgot to mention they have a karaoke room. Perfect place to host your next party of gathering with friends. Oh yeah one more thing they have bomb drink specials too! OMG I could just go on & on about this place. Do yourself a favor & check them out. read more

If I could give no stars I would. We had fang. No greeting just what do you want. You're doing hot pot right no menus until we asked. She didn't let us ask any questions. Never came back to check on us or showed us how things worked. This was our first time here. It left us with a very bad taste in our mouth. Not to mention me and my boyfriend are biracial and they left us in the back room separate from everyone else. Same for any other black couple that came in. I only found out as we were leaving. I normally don't play that card. But I'm this case I felt discriminated against. I don't know if this was intentional or not at this place but I will say this...This place is horrific. DO NOT COME HERE read more

The food is delicious and economical. Quick service. It is a quiet place to eat and do business. Love it!

Was not impressed. Table was dirty. Staff unenthusiastic. We asked to be moved into main dining room as the air quality was was humid and hot in the boiling pot room. Our meals came out five minutes apart. Food was so-so. read more

I was sorely disappointed to find out that they've removed a lot of their menu (like all the good sides and baos!!-_-) because their head chef is no longer working there. The servers were a little flustered and we were sat in a small, gray, somewhat depressing room to eat. However, the hot pot deal redeemed the experience a good bit, and was quite delicious and authentic. read more

I've always had a good experience here. There is a large selection of food to choose from and I love that they have appetizers and dessert included in their hotpot. LOVE LOVE THE VOODOO SHRIMP! I haven't tried other things other than their unlimited hotpot so I'm not sure what to say about the other food but the hotpot is worth it to me. So sad the unlimited hotpot in university closed that's why I started going here (sucks it's further for me) but the drive is worth it. read more

The food was good, but I don't know if that is worthy of a great rating. First of all, you have to find this tucked away place, GPS is probably necessary. But once you walk inside you see a pretty nice layout for this side of town. Once seated they will give you a huge menu. I'm pretty sure our server was new as she recommended the hambugers.....? I asked about the wings next as kind of a joke, but she didn't get it. I went on to ask about the Italian pasta dishes, which she still didn't get, but I quit picking on the menu for a while after that. At 27.50 a person for the hot pot, there is just no way my mom was going to eat near that amount of food to make it worth while. Plus, there were conflicting messages on how long you had to eat it, some said an 1.5 hours, some said 2 hours, and then on top of that you were charged for excess wasted food. All of this just seemed to complicated and expensive so we went with some an app and 2 entrees. The food took quite some time. I was asked if I wanted a refill on my water before we even got our apps, I thought that was a little odd, of course I will want something to drink with my food. The edamame came out, with no bowl to put the shells in, so I dirtied up my plate, I guess that was the right call. Then our entrees came out. My mom got the salmon that came with some shrimp, a great deal, and pretty tasty. I got the crab cakes entree which turned out to be just one very small crab cake. Not anywhere close to an entree. I'm glad I took the option to add a signature salad for $3. The crab cake was a little doughy, but not bad, and the sauce for it was excellent. After eating half of my moms food I was full and eventually was able to ask for the check. For some reason my crab "cakes" were twice the price they were supposed to be. I brought this to the attention of our server and she said she'd have to go talk to somebody. She came back and told us it was because of the salad and we kind of went back and forth for a while. It was pretty weird, she kept saying it was a $3 up charge for the salad, even though we were being overcharged by $9. I kept having to try and teach this girl basic math until I think she finally got it. I still tipped her well, even after all that. I did see some others with hot pots, and the food looked solid. I just don't think this expensive all you can eat fashion is going to work on this side of town. If it was a basic one for $19.95 and you could add the expensive crab and such for a higher cost it might work out better. Or what most hot pot places I've been to do is charge like $8-10 for the broth and then you just a la carte the meat and veggies. It would probably work out to more than $27.50 for the people who just came to stuff their face and lighter eaters would still be patrons. I don't know, not my restaurant. If I'm super hungry one day, I'll probably come back and try it, but not until then. read more

I would like to give this more stars but to be honest I can't. We came here for dinner and there wasn't any one really in the restaurant so we were seated. Our waitress took our drink orders then came back with the house sauce then took our order. Ok so far the services was ok but then it started to go down hill they took forever to bring out our food when the table in front of us came after us, they didn't give us some of the other we order and gave us the wrong one. Then they never check up on us. We wanted to ordered more but had to flag someone else to get our waitress which we already been waiting over 20 min. Also took forever to get the check so if you want customer services don't go here. The food was a decent for the price. I think I spent more time waiting then actually eating. I wouldn't recommend anyone to this place read more

This place is yummy but don't expect it to be an inexpensive place. It is tasty and for the most part healthy--and it's all you can eat. I've not been to a hot pot place before, so it was a nice experience to cook our food. They give you a choice of two broths to cook your food and it flavors it. We had tom yum and Szechuan. Both were good. We had all sorts of veggies and beef and shrimp. They also brought some ingredients you could use to make sauce to dip in. Watercress, seaweed and book choy were great. We had the angus beef and shrimp. We also had the dumplings. Not too salty. Amazing peanut sauce. I highly recommend this place. A great place for a date. I would not bring kids here. read more

This place is alright.. Honestly not great in taste since everything is just being cooked in whatever broth you select. We had 6 people in our party and the bill came out to $180 so it's not worth your money if you don't eat a lot. I come from an Asian culture that does this, and it's not very impressive at all. Overpriced per person bland tasting food is how I would describe this experience. read more

I live near the area and am always in search of a place open late when I am in the mood for a late night snack. I hate that unlike bigger cities, Charlotte has slim pickings because everything closes so early. I love small plates and tapas! I think the restaurant has a lot of potential they just need better marketing. Did I also mention they have a full bar?! There are two private rooms in the back that you can also throw a get together at. My sister ordered the steak burger medium done with a side of kimchi fries. I had a bite and it was delicious! I also had a pound of the Cajun boiled shrimp. For roughly $15 it was a bargain. The shrimp was fresh NOT frozen and portion was big enough to share as an appetizer for 3 people. We had a few other small plates as well. Overall, I think it's a solid place. Nothing mind blowing but definitely a great place to have a drink and share appetizers with friends. I will update my review after I try their hotpot. read more

I've tried this restaurant about 3 times now and the last time was not a good experience. I ordered shrimp, crab legs, and lobster combo as soon as she put the tray down I smelled something not quite right. Buy the smell went away, I tried the shrimp, great the crab, very good I save the best for last. The lobster tail, was disgusting I'm not sure if it was spoiled or what but horrible. Don't know I'll be back!! read more

We went to this spot with a group of friends, the restaurant wasn't crowded at all for a Thursday night. A few of the group opted for the hot pot situation, they had good reviews. The meats and veggies they got were a lot, there were tons leftover. I was in a lo mein mood so went that route with pork lo mein. It was mediocre, not the best I've ever had and it almost looked orange but wasn't terrible. My husband had the general tso's chicken that was pretty good. All in all, it was fine and the food did the trick but nothing spectacular. read more

I was excited to see a hot pot restaurant in Charlotte. My husband and I had it for the first time in Boston and were excited to share this neat food experience with friends. We had talked hot pot up to friends so much that we decided to go here. Sadly we found ourselves disappointed in this place, and I think our friends were turned off from it. The broth was pretty good but the meats were not the highest quality. We ordered some seafood items and they were brought to our table frozen! We will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Just what Charlotte has always needed! I have been dying for a true Chinese/Taiwanese hot pot place for a while and boiling pot does it! They give you an abundance of options and you can just keep the feast going for as long as possible. Get the fish balls, fish tofu, and all the beef! read more

This is a pretty solid hot pot to be in the South, if I am solely basing this on the variety of meats and sides. They also have good apps, which are all included in the fixed price. The service is lacking though, but they bring you SO much food that you really don't need them often. I did find that they actually bring you too much of each item, especially when you only requested 1 serving. This was most evident in the seafood - marking "1" for shrimp, calamari, and crab sticks resulted in 15 shrimp, 15 calamari rings, and I lost count of the crab sticks after 15. (We were actually worried we were going to be charged for the uneaten food!) I think a better model would be to bring out smaller portions, but increase your staff so they can bring more if needed. They are wasting so much food, otherwise. Apparently the crab legs are popular. We saw many tables eating that exclusively and was told it was delicious. (I doubt anyone will complain about too many of those!) You can definitely come for a low country boil here, which admittedly is strange to say for a hot pot--but it is the south! read more

Interesting to find a Chinese hot pot restaurant in this part of town. I was thinking P.F. Chang for a safer choice or take the risk here. For all you can eat value, if you eat plenty, it's fantastic. The spicy soup and kimchee souls were loaded with sodium and artificial flavor, I got thirsty before the end of meal. The kurobota pork was the best meat of all follow by the beef and lamb. The tongue was alright, would be better if it's shaved thinner. Beef tendon ball was fine, had not bouncy one elsewhere. Fish ball with filling was fine. Tripe and octopus were fantastic and so was the clam. All the veggie and mushroom were nice and fresh. Like I said, if you are a big eater, this is of great value. The only negative I had was that giant Keno screen. Would be better if it's on a small screen and give the big screen to a sports program or something. read more

I heard about this place through the Nextdoor app so decided to do take out on a Friday night. It's located across from Hhgregg. When I arrived to pick up, the place looked pretty nice inside. The hostess was attentive. It was not very busy around 7:30pm. My order was waiting for me when I arrived. Once back at home, I was disappointed that the Five Cheese Mozzarella Croquettes that I ordered was nothing more than deep fried mozzarella sticks. Wow, such a fancy name on the menu! I like mozzarella sticks and my toddler loved them but let's be real and call it what it really is. We also tried to chicken pot stickers and the Kimchi wings which were both tasty. I would go back to dine in for fondue or other menu items. The location is convenient and there aren't many good, non-chain restaurants in the Northlake mall area. Also, the bar looks like a cool place to hang out. They stay open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. read more

I have been searching for hot pot for years. There aren't any where I live. I now go to Charlotte for work often and this is right next to the hotel. I've been 4 times in 3 weeks. It's amazing. The food is fresh, the hot pot is unlimited and has all of the authentic ingredients I love. Try some of the odd stuff not just chicken and shrimp. Here are some recommendations for "different" things Tong Ho Daikon Enoki mushroom Fish dumplings Tofu skins Fried fish cake read more

So I just found out that China Go Go and boiling pot are a sister company! They have a location here and pineville! We went here for the all you can eat hot pot. First the prices at this location is 26.99 and the other location is 21.99 This location has many more options in the ayce hot pot such as appetizers and wings and more beef options and seafood options like blue crab, scallops, and crawfish. They also have fried dough which I definitely recommend when eating hot pot! We got the house, Szechuan, miso, and tom yum broths. The Szechuan broth didn't have much flavor but spice and the miso broth is not the same as the other location which I love but here it tastes like beer but it tasted better throughout as we added things to flavor the broth. But I definitely recommend getting tom yum and house! Our server was very nice and also gave us recommendations on what to get. She ordered us the popcorn shrimp appetizer with spicy mayonnaise which was very delicious. The quality of the meat is your standard ayce meat. I don't recommend getting the premium beef because they slice it very thick and it ends up being chewy. At the end they have desserts which were standard and nothing too special. But there was a server who was white with blonde hair and I was asking about one of our orders and she sassed me and said we don't have enough hands and that is why I deduct one star but our main waiter with the amazing brows was very sweet to us. Overall, the price is incredible and the food is delicious. Would recommend! read more

My first Hot Pot experience! It appears that this is getting popular all around the US and this place has the advantage of seemingly being the only Hot Pot in Charlotte. Walked in for dinner here a couple of nights ago, it appears that they're short-staffed because the hostess introduced herself as not only the manager but also our waiter! She went over the menu and the hot pot options and we had already decided what we wanted before we got there. HOT POT! Chose the Miso and the Pho broth. We got a couple each of crispy wings, hot wings, egg rolls, crab rangoon, and edamame. For the main course we got beef tenderloin strips, pork belly, meatballs, calamari, shrimp, crab clusters, and several veggies. I was happy with both broths, but the flavors of the miso transferred to the food better. The pho had a great taste alone, but only subtly seasoned the food as it cooked. The only thing we were unhappy with was the crab clusters: not much meat in any of them, and what meat we got lacked any sort of flavor. All the other meats were great. A couple of setbacks of the night were that our manager/hostess/server/everything in between was so busy trying to bus the many tables, it caused our service to be a bit lacking. Not really any fault of her own, but they definitely needed more staff that night. Our drinks were constantly empty and the rice and ramen as part of the hot-pot didn't come out until we requested it a second time, same goes for all the dipping sauces. All in all a positive experience, a bit of polishing and this could be a real statement restaurant for a unique cuisine experience. read more

NEVER order the fried oysters from here. They have a black tar like substance in them. They smelled rotten. They were obviously previously frozen, so it's hard to know what waters they came from. I am lucky to not be ill. Very dangerous! read more

My expectations about this place were way too high, especially after reading the reviews and for the price you pay for the Asian fondue experience. When I got there with my husband the hostess was on the food with someone, there were also a guy in front of us waiting to be seated with two kids and after us a party of 5 arrived. The hostess took her sweet time on the phone then started sitting everybody. To start I did not like the way the tables are organized. We were like on the corner of a room that we had no access to our waitress. Very secluded spot. The waitress asked for our drinks and gave us the menu, she came back after a good while asking if we were ready to order, so we did. We ordered miso and the House broth, steak, chicken, shrimp, mussels, octopus, squid, ramen and watercress that was never served. The shrimp was frozen, what places serve frozen sea food? They didn't even care about thawing the shrimp. We ordered spring rolls, crab Rangoon, chicken wings and the voodoo shrimp as appetizer which surprisingly arrived only after we were almost done with our food. Besides we had to remind the waitress about the voodoo shrimp that she forgot. The miso broth was so salty I barely could eat. Talking about salty when my chicken wings arrived I couldn't believe in what I was seeing. They were over fried, dried and white, YES, white with all the salt they poured on top of my wings. I don't think they calculate the portions correctly, I ordered chicken for one person and they sent us chicken for at least two people. Take in mind if you don't eat all your food you have to pay for the leftovers. Even though we had many disappointments we were willing to go back to try something from their regular menu but things just started getting worse! They waitress simply disappeared, my husband and another customer had to leave to look for her and she was nowhere to be found. I wanted to eat dessert but since the waitress disappeared my husband again tried to find her without success. So we decided to pay, but how could we if there was nobody to receive the payment? Was just like a ghost town! The hostess appeared so we could pay and leave. I have never been so frustrated! I have been to so many restaurants and never had this lack of service or food before. We spent almost $100 on something that wasn't worth even half! I will never go back to this place and I will advise my friends to keep distance. PS: the crab Rangoon was the only decent thing we had. read more

The boiling pot is a hot pot restaurant where they place a boiling pot of flavored broth on your table and you choose from a long list of food items that are brought raw to your table. You then cook everything right there yourself. It is a fun experience but it wasn't impressive. I had hot pot while I was in China and it was fantastic, tons of flavors and it was a great experience so when I moved to Charlotte I wanted to take my wife for a fun night out. The problem was...well a few things. The food was low quality, the broth needed more flavoring and we were not impressed. I kept ordering more food to try and find that "tasty" bite but I never could and left disappointed. You do get tons of food though so that's something but with it being such poor quality I will not be back. read more

The service was ok. The food was great. We got the fondue. I was upset that they didnt have the poker sticks to keep your meat on while it cooks.. the tables were kinda small. The atmosphere is very bleh. I wont be back but I had an ok experience read more

Enjoyed my first experience with hot pot. Love that this was all you can eat. Definitely affordable in my opinion for being AYCE. I went with some friends who ate here before and they recommended the house and tom yum broth. Although, both were tasty the tom yum was a winner. Only downfall for that night was that it was valentine's weekend. They were really busy and we couldn't get pork belly. That was upsetting and we were told it wasn't frozen enough to slice. However, I would try it again when I'm in town. read more

非常好! This place is the real deal! Having just moved back to the Charlotte area from a city in the cold parts of the Dongbei region of Northeastern China I am stoked to have a Huo Guo place here in Charlotte! This place markets itself as an asian fondue place, but I would say for those of you who are unfamiliar with hot pot it is more like a Korean BBQ set up with a boiling soup/broth as the cooking method instead of a grill. The selection of food was amazing as well with lots of tofu options, lotus root, spinach, various meats, seafood, etc. This place is perfect for big groups or for families with picky eaters! I will definitely be back when it gets a bit colder here in the region. Only thing that might be improved is the viscosity of the sesame paste dipping sauce, it was a bit too water for my tastes. Oh and I expected the noodles to not be pre-cooked as they became overcooked after being put in the broth. Over all though definitely a new favorite in the Charlotte area! read more

When it comes to Hot Pot there aren't many options but Boiling pot does a pretty good job, it's expensive but all you can eat. The dress is casual and they make a great place for a group dinner or larger party, full bar as well so if you wanted to sit back and have a drink you could do that as well. A lot of all you can eat place force you to buy in if you're there but boiling pot allows you to order off the regular menu as well, which is nice. read more
