Vietnamese Spring Roll
Maurine S.

In Edmonton and wanted something "clean and healthy" to eat. Lol. Hubs says eating ayce boiled veggies and tons of meat does not make for a healthy eating but it was fun! A lot places in Canada seems not have been reviewed post Covid so I was excited about the spot but then nervous cuz all the reviews were so old. We pulled up in front of the restaurant and thought, "I don't know about this place...it seems so randomly out of place and a hole in the wall...". We'll we decided to try it since we didn't want to drive another 20 minutes to try out another spot and boy were we glad we stayed. Don't be put off by the neighborhood and it seems to be a place the locals know about as it filled up while we were there. The place was cold when we walked in but after eating hot pot for about 10 minutes you quickly warm up. The waitstaff was nice and we ordered food and asked if we could order another round later. She said yes without blinking an eye. Well apparently the portions are way bigger than the Bay Area and we had TONS of food. Where to start? The portions were large, about 3x the amount you would get from the Bay. They also had black bean sauce spareribs that were tasty, not all fatty. I was super surprised it tasted so good. You also get 2 oysters per person for your hot pot and some sashimi. The oysters weren't as big as posts from years ago, but they tasted fresh. The sashimi was okay and I was nervous as I think I got sick from the last ayce sushi place I ate at but it was fine. The sashimi tasted a bit too cold but better safe than sorry! Pro tip: One order is enough for 2 people. We ordered 2 meats and that was way too much. Not sure if they would allow it but maybe ask for a half order, then you can order more items! Honestly we were too full to order things like green onion pancake, and dumplings! Service was attentive and the thing I thought was so cool? The robot with the car face that brings you your food! So cool! I would definitely come back or make this a stop if you're in Edmonton!

Chili hotpot has been one of the decent hotpot places in Edmonton over the years. I'd give them 7.5/10 for the quality and variety of their food, for lunch and dinner. They stand out in having more and better drinks than other hotpot places.

It was a very nice place. The staff were very friendly and help ful. We loved the cat robot server, that was a selling point for us to come in. The food was amazing. Such a fun and yummy experience

Place is good for a hot pot. I really liked the large selection of meat, veggies, and other hot items you can order. I ended up ordering too much, but the owners were really kind and didn't charge me extra. The place itself looked like the general run down older Chinese fare place. However, don't be fooled, great food. A little pricey for 30 bucks for an evening meal, and I don't really eat enough meat to feel like "I got my moneys worth" but really great fresh produce and good cuts of meat. I also really enjoyed their fried rice and their fried wontons. Loved the people who owned it and also served us, really friendly. There was a great selection of broths to choose. I chose the Tan Tan because I like spice. All in all a fun interactive experience!

Coconut, mango, and strawberry pudding.

5/5 - 10 if I could rate it that high. We visited Edmonton just for fun. I've always been a big fan of Hot Pots as we do it at home on special occasions. So I looked for one on Yelp in the Edmonton area and this place had the best reviews. I didn't really know what we were walking into. From the outside, it may seem like a sketchy place. But the moment we walked in, we were greeted and sat down at a table. This was around 5pm on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. But from the start the ladies there were helpful, personable, and very funny. There was a wide selection of choices. Great Dim Sum. And even ended with some desserts. The ladies came by from time to time asking how everything was - they were always on the ball. I'm extremely impressed. It was a little pricey, but I would've paid the same amount at some other restaurant that gave poor service for mediocre food. So this was worth every penny. My friend and I were saying how this was probably one of the greatest dining experiences we've ever had. I'm definitely bringing family & friends back here - and probably make a point to drive up to Edmonton just to eat here.

Half/half broth ($2.50) - pork with apple slices (top) and lamb in a spicy broth (bottom)
Jonny M.

All you need to know about Chili Hot Pot is: a) It's good b) 20% off if you go after 9 pm! Sweet deal. Regular $25, so only $20 after 9pm! Plus $2 for your choice of broth. Lots of cool ones to choose from. I went with a half and half option ($2.50): - Lamb in a spicy broth - Pork with apple slices Both were good but the lamb's spiciness took over and I couldn't taste much of the pork broth afterwards. If I were to do it again, I would just get one main broth and stick with it for the night. We ordered a ton of good food - selection is pretty decent and they even have a couple good random things you can get (I'm talking about salmon sashimi, lamb dumplings, fried rice with egg and green onion was tasty). Place was surprisingly not that busy for a Friday night (didn't even need to make reservations although we did). Service is on and off - they were pretty slow to bring out the good stuff...don't know if that was on purpose or not. Pretty good place and I like the deal after 9pm! Plus you get dessert at the end too (we had mango). OH - make sure you get a lemon ice tea ($2.50) - comes in awesome jar and definitely quenches your thirst.

It drives me crazy that this place doesn't do a late night special but I GET IT .... it's so good they don't have to! The quality of meat here is beyond any late night special that's running in this city. On top of that, their milk tea and in-house made iced tea is delicious. Then we have the service ... it's amazing. Absolutely perfect. The people working here are consistently welcoming and enjoyable to be served by. Sauces? Great. I don't know what they're doing to their bean curd but it is so good. Also, the included dessert of a strawberry pudding and mango pudding is a perfect way to end the meal. This is one AYCE that I enjoy on a regular basis. The value and quality is actually worth what you're paying here.

During the few days of extreme cold in Edmonton, it was only appropriate to seek warmth at a hot pot restaurant. After hearing about this place from my parents, I think I have found my new favorite hot pot restaurant. It is always a great feeling to enjoy a warm satisfying lunch on such a cold day! Atmosphere: 3/5 On the outside, this restaurant appears quite unassuming, but it does have an open, comfortable, and clean environment inside. My only complaint is that the tables tend to be a bit too close together so there is not always enough room to place all of the food! There are carts next to the table though. Thankfully, the restaurant was not too busy so it was ok to use the carts. Several TVs and overall a quiet environment during the lunch hour. Parking can be difficult behind the restaurant so most tend to parallel park along the main road. Food: 4.5/5 I love the entensive selection of items which distinguishes Chili Hot Pot from other hot pot restaurants with lunch specials. The vegetable basket is a little smaller than other restaurants but the main entree sizes make up for it! The food was fresh, and I love the variety of sauces. Many soup bases to choose from and the soups themselves have a lot of ingredients as well in comparison to other restaurants. I usually end up getting the same few items in other restaurants but find that I can try many more things including hot dishes here! Service: 4/5 Attentive and friendly; efficient Price: 4/5 Very reasonable for the amount and quality of food Overall: 4/5 I really enjoyed this hot pot restaurant. Given the extensive selection for their lunch special, I would love to come back as I can mix and match many different items including soup bases.

Carmella L.

I think the service here is top notch and I would come back here for that alone. The food was quite good and fresh...it was my first hot pot experience. I have no complaints except my own fault for order a too spicy soup. Careful with the Currys....when they say they are spicy they mean it. The lunch special is a great deal at 13.95 and I left super full. Friendly atmosphere and very clean restaurant.

Broth menu... pork stomach and white pepper and lamb are bomb
Dee L.

This was my first time visiting chili hot pot and I was not disappointed! The selection of broths and sauces was so much more extensive than other places in the city. Also, the selection of meats and veggies was great and everything was fresh. The oysters were the size of my hand . The service was friendly and timely. A nice added touch was the water with lemon, lime, and cucumber. I would highly recommend the lamb broth... it was very tasty and had great depth of flavour. You can select one flavour broth or two for a few dollars extra. Well worth it for the variety. If you go after 9pm like we did there is also a late night special price.

Borscht soup: spicy Lamb & Herbs Spice Soup; vegetable basket
Eileen T.

I come here often because the hubs loves hot pot. We have been here a couple of times for dinner with friends. After 9:00 pm it's 20 percent off which is a great deal, however I don't eat enough to justify hot pot ayce. I love coming here for lunch which is an amazing deal and oh so delicious. For 15.95 you get to pick 5 items including hot foods and it also comes with a free veggie basket. For $2 you can pick an extra soup or any additional items ($2 each). Their milk tea and lemon tea are sooo yummy! My favorite soups are the borscht and spicy lamb. I never finish my items but my hubby is always on top of it!

Love the 63 Ave location, so decided to come here to see if it's any different. Had the lunch…read morespecial which is 5 items for $15.95. I think the major difference is getting a free vegetable basket, which is great so you can load up on the other items. Was pretty stoked they put pumpkin slices in there. Love those! You still get a free ice cream dessert as well. They also offer the AYCE for lunch. I didn't check the price, but I'm sure it's the same as the other location ($30-$32). We had the bone broth and Thai curry broth. Both were flavourful and the curry had a good kick to it. So good! And I love the peanut butter paste! The peanut sauce at the 63 Ave is a bit watery compared to this one. The staff were also great and friendly. The only issue I have is that it's farther away for me... but you know, for the price, quality, and experience... I'll make the trek out for sure! Also, there's a bubble tea place right next door, if that's what you're into. PS. Don't mind the sketchy area... area seems a bit runned down, but you definitely won't notice once you start eating. This is the same for the other location coincidentally lol.

The location is not the best, but if you can get past the crowd and the front door it's worth it…read more We came late at night, right before the kitchen was about to close (which we didn't know about until we walked in). And we also came with a very large group. Honestly they had all the reason to kick us out, but the staff took care of us regardless. Since we were late we just picked the soup broth and 5 add-on's. I got the Herb and Lamb broth. It was delicious, savory, and hearty. And for the add-on's, I picked the sliced Beef Sirloin, Enoki Mushroom, Napa Cabbage, Fried Tofu and Flat Rice Noodles. They didn't have Fried Tofu so I asked to substitute for Fried Bean Curd instead. Looking back at this now, I'm glad (and I'm sure the kitchen was too) that we only picked 5 things. AYCE would've been too much and too overwhelming with all the options there. And honestly, they gave us so much for the 5 things we ordered. It was a whole spread of meat and veggies. I was actually very impressed. Portion size was huge. I was also impressed by the service we received. It was late, but they really took care of us as patrons. It's a 4.5/5 for me. Definitely one of the best service I've received at a sit-down restaurant/food business and I wish this place success.

We showed up at 8 pm on a weekday and the restaurant was still very busy. It is a good sign that this restaurant is popular. We were seated right away and our 2 hour time limit started. We placed an order of soup based and meat options before heading out to the sauce bar and checking out other items at the buffet. The food selection was quite impressive from the meat balls, cooked food, innards, veggies, seafood, noodles to desserts. It was hard to decide what to eat. The sauce bar was also quite extensive there are endless combinations. Service was surprisingly decent for an Asian restaurant. Staff stopped by regular to clear dirty plates and refill soup broth. They even dropped off extra plates of beef slices and wontons when we asked. Overall, I thought the price was reasonable for the food selection and the service exceeded my expectations for a buffet setting. Parking was alright.

We ordered mussels clams and oysters and we never saw any of it despite complaining. We ended up getting the oysters very last about 1.5 hours into our meal.

It was really weird service and maybe bc it was a large group they didn't care bc they automatically add the tip to the bill. I'll avoid this place.

Not at all worth the $45 we ended up paying each for our meal because of the automatic tip for the shittiest service I've had in chinatown. Avoid at all costs! Go elsewhere.

Wow! First to review this place!!…read more We came here in June after their soft opening. My mom had heard about Han Shi Fang through WeChat and the videos looked so enticing. I was dying to try the combination of hot pot and grill. The staff were incredibly attentive and prompt. They gave lots of suggestions as to what to order, and my favorites were the supreme beef slices, sliced lamb, enoki beef rolls, and quail eggs. For five of us, a two-flavor pot worked very well. Also order the fresh watermelon juice, as it helps cool you down from the hot soup and grilled items. Take advantage of the make-your-own-sauce station near the entrance. My fav is ponzu with green onions and a little bit of garlic.

There are only 2 reviews here, but there's a bunch more when you look on google. I guess before there was an issue with the pot (it appears the "bbq" was actually cooked by steam), but they have replaced them with proper heating elements. We came around 6 on a weekday, and the place was dead. The weather has been nicer out, so it kind of makes sense? There were 2 other parties that came in the span of 1.5 hours though. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. He detailed what to order, how to turn on the elements, etc. For the broth, I ordered the 2 flavour: pork bone broth and house special butter spicy soup. Both were flavourful, and the spicy soup had a good kick to it but not unbearable like the traditional szechuan spicy. For the bbq portion, we got the enoki beef rolls and marinated ox tongues. The enoki beef rolls were SO good! Unfortunately, you can only have 1 order/pot, and if you want more, it's an extra charge. Boo! The ox tongues... they were definitely NOT marinated. I had to dip in my sauce for any flavour. Also kind of weird to put bbq on parchment paper? Speaking of sauces, the sauce station was really lacking. There was a sesame paste that was just that... thick and pasty. There was supposed to be a chive sauce and chopped hot red pepper, but they were missing. I was having spicy soup, so I normally just make: sesame oil, garlic, peanuts, green onion, and cilantro. I am a big fan of peanut sauce and chili garlic sauce, which was not there. My husband mentioned that the hot pot experience wasn't that great for him because there wasn't enough sauces. I agree! Hot pot items were the usual. The meats were a good, thin cut. I also tried lamb for the first time. It wasn't gamy at all! I had 2 plates of that, it was really nice. Other than that, not anything special to note. But not sure how they could run out of corn when they opened at 4pm? So, there were some nice things about the restaurant, but I'd like to complain now... I think this was what you were waiting for right? First, it was dead in there when we arrived, yet there was a table right next to us that had not been cleaned. In the 1.5 hrs we were there, it remained dirty. Second, while our waiter was nice, he didn't offer to fill up our broths. Third, does it kill them to put drinks in the fridge? I had an herbal tea and my husband had a coke. Both were warm. I asked for water, and there was no ice. Really? And, lastly, the price! Compared to the other AYCE hot pots in town, this is going to put a dent in your wallet! They charge $32.95, 1 flavour broth is $6.95 and a 2 flavour broth is $8.95. If you want a tasty beverage, you are looking between $4-$9. Doesn't seem very economical to me. You are better off going to the other places. Also if you want bbq buffet, you might as well go to a place that actually specializes in that. They have potential, and they took some great pictures and videos. I see they want their business to succeed as they have at least changed the heating elements, but I think they should really fix their prices and sauce bar.

Ingredient choices were extensive, and everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared. The chicken knuckle skewers were crispy, flavorful, and gone almost as soon as they hit the table. One of the best surprises was the late-night happy hour after 10 p.m. We held off on ordering most of our meat until then, and it was well worth it. Plates of brisket for 3.99 are hard to argue with, and the value becomes exceptional. Service was attentive from start to finish, and the complimentary self-serve bar was a nice bonus, with sauces, desserts, and plenty of extras to customize the meal. Great food, excellent service, beautiful design, and if you time it right, outstanding value. I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Edmonton.
