    various types of food on a table
    Naixin C.

    Can't go wrong with their clay pot rice, in terms of price, portion and taste. Even the takeout was good. The marinated duck was also good. The hotpot tastes roughly the same from last time, but beef ball was amazing this time. The seasoning and texture were perfect. They also have the menu in English now with pictures. Very helpful.

    Beef Ball
    Calvin K.

    I don't know who is like me, to drink at least a bowl of soup before hotpot. The soup is clear but with a full body of tase. I especially liked the beef ball. It is made with real ground beef by hand. The smell of beef filled with your oral cavity with tender texture. I think I can just have the beef balls all the way through my meal. Well, all the beef is well prepared and fresh. No doubt.

    A Taste of Chao Shan in the Heart of Queens Tucked away in a labyrinthine hotel plaza in College Point, Queens, lies a culinary gem that deserves its moment in the spotlight. This Chao Shan-style hotpot spot is the kind of place that makes food lovers like me excited to spread the word. Once you navigate your way to the second floor, you're transported--not just to China, but to a world where fresh, hand-cut beef reigns supreme and every detail sings of authenticity. Let's talk beef. Here, it's always fresh, never frozen--a rarity that sets this spot apart. The half-and-half pot we ordered featured two soup bases: a rich, savory beef broth and a tangy, flavorful tomato broth. Each brought out different nuances in the fresh cuts of meat, and together they created the perfect hotpot experience. The beef balls, hand-pureed to perfection. Tender, sweet, and bursting with flavor, these are a must-try. And don't miss the hand-sliced cuts of sirloin, chuck sirloin, and shank. They're melt-in-your-mouth delicious, delivering that indulgent, velvety bite you dream about after the meal ends. But it doesn't stop at hotpot. We also indulged in their preserved meats and frog claypot rice --an earthy, aromatic dish that balanced tender protein with rich flavors. The fried salt-and-pepper squid was another highlight, perfectly crispy with just the right amount of saltyness to keep you reaching for another bite. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, from the texture to the portion sizes. The space itself is spacious yet cozy, with beautiful décor that makes it perfect for a celebration or an intimate dinner with friends. Even the takeout game is strong here. Their lunch specials like the clay pot rice and beef rice noodles soup hold their own in both flavor and portion. Service is impeccable, attentive, warm, and going above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. This place isn't just a meal; it's a story of culinary passion and cultural authenticity. Whether you're here for the broths, the signature beef balls, or something adventurous like frog claypot rice, every bite is a journey worth taking. Highly recommended for anyone craving fresh flavors and a dining experience that feels like a little piece of Chao Shan in the heart of Queens.

    My friends and I really enjoyed the place. I think it's the only place in nyc where you could have ChaoShan beef hot pot. The food was great! Beef was super delicious and the price is reasonable. Service was excellent and the restaurant staff really went above and beyond. The place is very clean and well decorated. Highly recommend it.

    Decor was very nice and modern. Bathroom was VERY CLEAN which is very important for me when I visit any food establishment because I truly believe the cleanliness of their bathroom is also a reflection of how sanitary their kitchen is so big thumbs up for this. They're know for their hotpot but a few non hotpot dishes that stole the show was their seafood congee and Chinese sausage clay pot rice which we devoured before taking a picture of. The seafood Congee had the right water to rice consistency and they were also very generous with the seafood! Clay pot rice was seasoned to perfect and they made sure to help us scrape out the "fan jiu" for us to enjoy! The hotpot was your standard hotpot but the meat was definitely very fresh and thin. I think they slice it in house. Service was great. Our server was very attentive and checked on us multiple times and acted very fast when we needed something. Overall this restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood.

    Sauce Station

    6 out of 5 stars for service. Haven't been to a place that is so authentic and outstanding service. The restaurant was spotless clean to even sauce station! There's rooms for private party and even a stage if you were to rent out the whole space. There was also cute stuff animals for sale in display and complimentary ice cream. Recommend for those looking for a warm meal on a cold

    I think the beef here is overpriced for the quantity of beef on each dish. They didn't have the most popular cut of meat when I visited, which is surprising for chao-style hotpot when different cut of meat is the speciality. Had there eel clay pot rice, which was good with fried rice dough on the pot.

    My girlfriend was super excited to try this spot because there is a similar restaurant in Taiwan she likes going to that also serves fresh beef hot pot and this restaurant did not disappoint. We chose two soup bases for a half and half pot (tomato and mala), made our own sauces at the sauce bar, and ordered multiple different cuts of beef and all tasted of good quality. You can definitely tell it's fresh cut. We had a total of 6 people and the bill came out to about $200 including tip which we thought was pretty good considering the amount that we ordered. We were all very full afterwards but to our surprise they even gave us free fruit and ice cream at the end! The atmosphere was nice/big space and service was really good. Only complain is it's hard to get to from Manhattan without a car or else we would eat here more often. You can get validation for the parking and it only comes out to $3 for 1-2 hours. Overall really enjoyed this spot, definitely coming back!

    新开的店,味道很正,店家也很nice!推荐匙柄和肥拼,口感非常好! A newly opened restaurant, tasting good and authentic! Nice services, good meats.

    Didn't even have time to take photo of the Clay pot rice with eel!

    Finally!! Chao Shan beef hotpot in the states! Came all the way from California for this! Although the shacha sauce is not sautéed, but the various sauces are definitely enough for everyone! Make your only shacha sauce! Waiters are really kind and introduced the difference between all types of beef. The place is really nice, not too crowded and pretty clean! If only we were New Yorkers!

    Came here with two friends for an early dinner (4pm) on a Tuesday. We accidentally made a…read morereservation on Resy for the following day thinking it was for the day we went, and the hostess helped us get sorted. We were seated promptly, since there was no one else waiting to be seated, and the wait staff was quick to arrive and get our items into the sacks (to keep our stuff from smelling like hot pot all day), and helped us place our order. We got two broths-- mushroom and spicy (mild heat). Y'all, the mild was too hot for us and we were scooping out the peppers out of the broth to make it manageable. The wait staff noticed we were suffering and said the trick to eating spicy hot pot is to dip it in oil, and even brought us some. IT WORKS. Anyway, 10/10. Great tasting food, helpful and caring staff, and overall, a very fun decor/vibe.

The inside is beautifully decorated and they have multiple floors with tables and seats. Being a party of 7, we got a private corner room on the top floor which was really nice. We got half spicy and half non-spicy broth, and even at mild it was quite spicy. Our server had to help us take out a lot of the chili peppers floating inside. We ordered a variety of meats and veggies and fishballs, all of which were great. I liked the flavor of the spicy broth a lot, and the quality of all the meats and veggies tasted good. Anyone with a nut allergy beware of the chili in the sauce bar and for some of the meats, as I couldn't have those. For dessert, we got the fried brown sugar rice cakes which I thought was lowkey the best thing - it was so perfectly warm and chewy with just the right amount of brown sugar syrup. Definitely recommend this!

Because of everything happening, I completely forgot to take photos of the food that came out afterward. I do want to recognize the staff for their response and the great service they provided after the incident. They accommodated us, made sure we were taken care of, and helped turn an unexpected situation into a positive dining experience. Once we settled in, we truly enjoyed our meal.

They also had some peanut, and pickled cabbage snacks, and oranges. We opted for the Mushroom and Beef Tallow Spicy Broths. The Mushroom was herbal-y. The Beef Tallow Spicy had a pretty good kick, so we didn't feel like we needed to go spicier. You can also skim off some of the spicy oil if need be. You do get hit in the face with the spice broth steam, so don't get too close to the broth. It's a good thing the chopsticks are long! They do come by to fill the broths. We ordered off the tablet and most dishes came out pretty quick. The portions are on the smaller, which is good for AYCE. Everything cooks pretty quick too! Everything tasted fresh and of good quality. They have a large variety of meats, seafood, mushrooms, vegetables and everything in between! The Dan Dan Noodles were a big portion and on the blander side. I would skip this. The Herbal Jelly was refreshing, though we had to ask for them to bring it out. Overall, a good spot for a small group for AYCE.
