Luckily Kura was so backed up with reservations , otherwise we would have never walked past and seen this place hidden right next door! I took my daughter's here and we're immediately seated and served water. We ordered Bok Choy with Garlic, Pork Buns (4), and 1 Chicken Pot- Mild with Rice. Wow, what a filling lunch - great ambience and such attentive service! read more

This place is inconsistent but good. Sometimes the food is 5 stars sometimes it's 3 even if you order the same dish. So 4 Stars as an average. read more

I went here for my birthday as we were in the area. We loved this place, amazing flavors popping, great food, every bite is heaven. Very authentic cooking and so delicious. It's not a traditional Chinese hotpot where the meat/veggies are raw and you cook thin strips yourself. It is more of a sizzling dish with food already cooked kind of hotpot. We ordered the family chicken pot with some veggies and tofu add-ons, and a separate beef noodle dish - and it was all so good. Service and ambiance were also excellent, it's a nice small family-run restaurant. We ate so much and it was not even $20 per person - very reasonable. I would very highly recommend this restaurant, everything was just perfect! read more

Wow! The food was SO good. We've never had hotpot and we're clueless as to what to order. We talked to the women at the table next to us and they said they ordered the dish on the poster in the window. That looked good so we did, too. Also got green beans seared in a blazing hot wok and dumplings. We ate every bite. No leftovers is very rare for us. Can't wait to return!! read more

Pretty good. Confusing at first being our first time but it was great. I'd go again. This time hopefully it won't feel as foreign read more

From the time we stepped inside of the restaurant, we were greeted by a very friendly staff. They went over the menu provided some excellent suggestions since this was our first time coming in. We opted for the two person chicken hot pot with the medium spice levels. It came out piping, hot delicious full of flavor with plenty of chicken enough for two in fact, we brought quite a bit home. We added some noodles tofu added potatoes as well as rice excellent meal Very fulfilling, looking forward to returning read more

They were very nice, and you could tell that they were trying.... The restaurant decor was pretty simple, it looked pretty clean. However, we tried the food on the "American" menu. The server was like, this is American Asian food, like Panda Express...but I was craving beef chow fun so I ordered it anyway. Now, they weren't super busy so I wasn't sending it back, but tbh it was the absolute worst beef chow fun I ever had in my life. Like I don't make it regularly and I've made it better. 0/10 Biggest had the wonton soup. She loved it and the soup wasn't too salty, and had nice flavor. 9/10 Mini mini had the Kung pao chicken. It had nice flavor but omg it was salty. She drank 5 glasses of water while she was eating it and that's more than normal for her. 6/10 They came to the table and gave us free steamed buns and apologized that they didn't know how to make beef chow fun, but if they didn't know how to make it, they should have told me they were out and I would have ordered something else. Overall, it's possible the "Chinese" menu is better but it wasn't a good experience for us. We don't live close at all, so I wouldn't make a long drive to eat here. read more

Healthy, authentic Schezuan Chinese at great prices! They will ask you if you want your dishes to be not spicy (my husband LOVES authentic Schezuan, so he said to load up on the peppercorn!! LOL!). We were originally supposed to go to Kura Sushi next door but the line was ridiculous (we didn't reserve in advance) so we left and decided to try this place, as we meant to try it anyway for some time. We ordered 2 appetizers (fried fish dish and chicken bao..delish!), 2 veggie sides (cold cucumber salad and steamed marinated spinach), a chicken hot pot, braised beef, and. Schezuan (fish/seafood stew)??- my husband ordered that one. We were pleasantly surprised! Lots of meat and fish for stew and meat dishes...fresh veggies...garlic, spices. This isn't your typical American Chinese food (i.e. orange chicken, chow fun, general Tsos chicken you can get now in the frozen section at your local supermarket), so if that's what you are looking for, there's the frozen section of the local Chinese fast food takeout for you. This is fresh stuff with lots of flavor that you don't get to experience in a typical American Chinese restaurant (they tend to be too sweet and too greasy to cater to Americans and I want a healthier, more authentic option without having to drive up to Mesa or some other faraway location). Oh, did I mention they have Hot Pots at great prices (limited add-on varieties though)? Overall, the check came out to about the same as our local Chinese fast food takeout near our home. This is now a no brainer: drive 3 more miles and do a takeout here for healthier food. Would definitely come back! Screw the long lines and increasing prices at Kura Sushi! We found a pretty authentic Schezuan restaurant that is healthy and won't break the bank right next door.. without having to go to Mesa or North Chandler! read more

Wanted try something new and went out to lunch with my mom.. She picked this place so I decided to give it a try. Well..... Wanted to try the hotpot and was in the mood for some seafood. We were the only customer when we went in. Should have been a hint went nobody was there and when the owner I'm guessing told us to order a chicken dish (later I realized name of the place said chicken on it) we should have stuck with the dish she recommended. Ordered the seafood hotpot with whopping price tag of $37. Each table had cooktop but she brought a portable burner which I thought it was funny. The bowl was pretty small and it was filled to the top. Ordered noodle to eat with the hotpot which made me laugh more when she brought two instant ramen. The broth flavor was OK had little kick but nothing crazy spicy. Ordered medium level since my mom don't like super spicy. For the price of $37, I got some fish, fish ball, tofu, 2 small sticks of imitation crab, 4 clams, 2 pieces of squid, one cut up crab (small no meat/just for flavor), and some small amounts of veggies. All I can say is I don't know how they stay in business. Maybe the chicken dish is tasty but the seafood hotpot was way over priced and not that good. If the bowl cost $9 maybe it would not have been that painful. Only joy and laughter I got out of eating at this place was my mom complaining about everything. How small the bowl was, how expensive it was, how it was not good, salty blah blah. Never seen my mom complain so much about a restaurant in my life.. . I did remind her she picked the place. So little lunch endeavor cost over $52 bux with tip. One seafood hot pot, 2 orders of ramen and water. It's safe to say I would not return to this place. read more

Came here on whim trying to figure out something new to eat. Needless to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. I felt a little lost looking at the menu and not knowing what was good, the server was very attentive and helpful and gave me the best suggestions on which pot to choose and what veggies add ons would work great with it. The broth is very rich and flavorful and the chicken is cooked perfectly. I am happy to have tried it and encourage people in the area to try it out! read more

Shout out to Z!!! She's very Welcoming and nice!!! This place is one of those, come in, sit down, and cook it yourself spots, which, I'm not big on... so we ordered "to go" as ordering "to go" means that you're getting it already cooked!!! Whew!!! (Ain't nobody got time for all that) The food is yummy but, the prices are extremely expensive unless you're with a group and you're sharing. Their menu has photos, which makes it easy to order if you're not sure of what to get. (Hey don't judge I love a photo menu) There's plenty of parking onsite, and the restaurant is easy to locate. Pictures speak volumes, as the food taste just as good as it looks!!! Again, pricey but good! My only suggestion is DO NOT GET MEDIUM SPICE if you don't like spicy foods...I ended up adding water and calming the flavors down on leftovers. I also suggest that if you get any sides... ask questions, because I didn't know that a side of sweet potatoe noodles were these 3-8 huge noodles that went inside of the dish and that they would taste nothing like sweet potatoes. Lol Anyway yes go with your crew or if you're in the mood to sit, talk, and cook together. Tell Z and the the guy who appeared to possibly be the Manager (who came into the restaurant to talk to me and left) Hi as well. ‍ read more

Had lunch here with a friend recently. It's been a long time since I had hot pot so I was excited to try out this spot. The menu allows you multiple options for your broth, proteins, and veggie mix ins. We had the medium spicy chicken with several mix ins. When it came out it looked like a pretty dry pot with not a lot of broth. It wasn't until later that the server came along with a pitcher of more broth to pour into the pot. The broth was bold, fiery and medium spicy as requested. The chicken soaked in a lot of that flavorful broth. I enjoyed our veggie mix ins with everything. The price seemed slightly high for what we got but we were quite full when we were done and had leftovers to take home so I think it's more of a case of inflation rearing its ugly head on businesses. Side note for those that have cilantromisia, the pots typically come with a small pile of those green leafy abominations on top (at least ours did) but it's not finely chopped so you can easily pick it off if you forget to tell them to take it off your pot.

ChongQing Chicken Pot - Medium spicy chicken pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I love that we randomly found this place on a weekend while we were shopping at 99 Ranch Market. This is a dry pot turned into hot pot situation and it was delicious. We chose the fish pot and added some veggies in it. First we tried it just as is and it was so flavorful and spicy. Then midway we added hot broth and that just brought it to a whole other level. So good. Added noodles at the end and it was a great meal. Our waitress was very patient with us and explained to us how the dished worked and she was awesome. The place itself is of good size and plenty of tables to enjoy a meal whether you have a small or big party. read more

Got the hot and sour soup and Chicken low mein. Btw the soup is huge, which I loved but I barely could eat my noodles, which were also yummy. Also the ordering process was different, you use the QR code and order it there, but at the end you still go through the server to pay. read more

Hot Pots are all the craze right now, and this place does a good one! Was visiting the Phoenix area in the winter and wanted to find a place to warm up. This was definitely the right place to do that. We ordered the Spicy Fish Hot Pot and the Beef Dry Pot. Both were delicious! Each had its own unique flavors and spices that complemented the generous portions of rice. The beef was nice and tender while the fish was firm yet not over cooked. Service was nice and pleasant and the ambiance of the restaurant, while not the largest space, was well laid out and inviting. Loved the modern feel of the restaurant in general. Definitely a place that I would come back to again! read more

ChongQing Chicken Pot - Excellent hot pots :) - Hot Pot Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Please AVOID if you are a foodie and appreciate authentic and good tasting food. Inside- is clean and gives off an authentic Asian dining experience. Food was ordered and Given within 5-10 minutes! And that's the quality you get. And certainly makes you question if it's fresh or just frozen ready for the microwave/grille food. The Food- is below average in flavor and overall quality. I ordered the chowmein and sesame chicken. Both lacking flavor and chicken being with a soggy batter and tasting very gamey. Noodles lacking flavor and its texture and taste was of 2nd day leftover microwaveable meal. I am not a fan of Panda Express, but even that is of better quality and flavor. Don't be fooled by 4.0 rating. Not that 4.0 is a great rating but it doesn't meet that ratings expectation. This is a 2 star at best rating. This review is coming from a couple dining at several Asian restaurants across America. read more

Such a great rainy day spot when you need something warm and comforting! We got the Chicken Hot Pot with boneless chicken. There's definitely a good amount of chicken that comes in the pot. There's also some celery and garlic included in the Chicken Hot Pot. We ordered enoki mushrooms, vermicelli noodles, and Napa cabbage as our add-ons. Highly recommend these basic add-ons if you need some suggestions! Very flavorful and will be back again soon :) read more

Chongqing was a fun place to eat. First we started off with a family size chicken pot. It was like a stew consistency. We opted for mild but i can see many would enjoy the spicier levels. About half way through, our waitress added some chicken broth and we added our selected add-ons like enoki mushrooms, cabbage and tofu. It was delicious and we appreciated everything not being overly salted. However, it would've been nice if they offered some simple optional sauces. Overall decent meal; would like to return to try their other pots. Enjoy. Highly recommend. read more

Best hotpot I've had in a while. My friend and I ordered the pork intestine and chicken hotpot which was for 3-5 people, because they don't make it for two people for some reason unlike other hotpot items on the menu. Please add it for two person portion on the menu and I'll be back for sure. The large size hotpot is a bit much because its $57 just for the hotpot considering that all the add ons cost extra $1.50-$3.99. Another thing I liked about this place is that it was very clean. Perhaps because it's fairly new, but still. The decor isn't what you'd expect from a hotpot place and I liked that. read more

When heading to 99 Ranch Market for grocery shopping, I decided to peep inside ChongQuing Chicken Pot to see what it was like. The owner was outside, greeted us, and encouraged us to try their food out. I'm glad I did. This restaurant has a creative concept with its chicken hot pots. First, the meal starts with a dry pot of chicken with a choice of spice level, like a typical entree eaten with rice. Then halfway through the meal, the server will offer to pour hot chicken broth into the pot. Next, after the burner gets turned on, the meal becomes a hot pot experience where add-ons are selected from the menu to get cooked in the pot. I added daikon, tofu, enoki mushroom, and fish balls. Overall it was a great experience, and the food tasted great. The menu was straightforward, with just the right amount of choices for the main entrees and add-ons. read more

I thought the main star of the show was really stood out during my experience. I'm not a big spicy person so I got my chicken mild but the flavor of the chicken is great. I like how I could choose what side dishes I wanted with the meal. Examples of sides include bean curd, mushrooms, mung bean, napa and rice noodles. Since you add sides to your chicken pot, I like how one pot can feed two people very well. I've been here twice now and the service has always been really great here. I feel like they're attentive to our needs and the last time we went, the waitress offered us ice cream for dessert, which made my child very happy! I have also not have to wait too long to get my food either. Overall, I've had great experiences here and plan to continue to come here to eat. read more

This is a good little restaurant next to the 99 Ranch Market in Chandler. The ambiance is relaxing and the food is good. I tried the spicy chicken that was on a whiteboard next to register and it was outstanding. I told my wife it was like the little places we had eaten at in Beijing and she readily agreed - be forewarned it is very spicy and it is pieces of chicken with bone. Unfortunately, what brought this place down to 4 stars was the dumpling soup. While the broth was flavorful and rich, it was salty and the dumplings were wrapped in a flour dumpling wrap instead of the traditional rice wrap. We will return, the menu has many dishes we cannot wait to try. read more

I went in to look at the menu after grocery shopping next door. There was a nice man who invited me to try the chicken hot pot, so I did as he seemed sincere and eager, and I wanted to try something new. That was the owner Mr Li. I ordered the boneless chickenpot for one. I added napa, enoki mushroom and tofu. They being you a cast iron pot with chicken, cloves of garlic, celery, and green and red peppers seasoned and smelling amazing. You start eating the "dry" chicken and then have the server add broth in and then add your mix-ins. It was delicious! I have had chongqing chicken only once before, and it is a flavor completely unique. This was better than the chongqing chicken I had once before. I can highly recommend this place. There is seating upstairs also. There are more exotic menu items, bur I only tried the chicken. I believe this is a franchise in China, and by the menu, I suspect it is authentic. read more

Attention people that live near Chandler and Dobson! Great find. The wait staff was awesome! He's more like an ambassador for them. Super friendly. Informational! He even gave us a tour of the building. They opened about 5 months ago but this is our first visit. I feel like they have been under advertised and overlooked. I didn't realize they had table pot cooking. They do most of the cooking in the back and bring the pot out steaming and keep it simmering on the table. They will even bring you extra broth if you like. They have large seating areas for big groups upstairs. They said to feel free to throw a party there if you want too. And that you don't even have to make reservations! We had to stop eating spicy food a few years ago because of gastric issues, so we are now officially whimps. But we ordered mild and it had a little heat. Not terrible. But I'm glad we didn't add heat. read more

The food was good but not the best. We ordered the medium spiced pork rib pot with some add on veggies and tofu. There's no numbing spice in here, at least I didn't taste any. We waited about 15-20 mins for our food to come out which is not right. The service is likely 1-2 star from the employees. They are often busy chatting with one another, gathering in a corner laughing away without really attending to customers' needs. The Asian boss was awesome though! I gave one extra star just because of his personal service. He told us we could request for extra broth, sauce for the soup base, and/or spice if we wanted more. Nice ambience and newly remodeled space which is nice. They also have a second floor space for more customers. Their service needs some serious improvement. Even the manager doesn't perform well... read more

Recommend: It was okay, could be better. The chicken pot still have good flavor. Price: seems overpriced for the amount of food (portion) your getting. Service: Service was okay. Details: I was excited when I saw this place is open to dine. We ordered the chicken bone-in pot and the beef pot. We decided to get the small size for the chicken since we thought it might be too much food. We also got some add-ons that you can put in ur pot. We got 2 rolls of vermicelli, soft tofu, napa cabbage, and some bread ball thing. They were also small portions with the price of $2-8 per each add-on item. Majority of the items were $4-$5 range. We got our chicken pot first and I thought it had great strong flavor. I was more disappointed by the amount of meat on the chicken and the portion was pretty small. I knew we were getting bone in, but I wasn't expecting mostly bone and no meat. The food/ingredients that came in the pot almost filled up half way. Again this is for the small size pot. For the large beef pot, it was more disappointing to find out that it wasn't even half filled. It just seem like a large pot with very small amount of food. To me, it seemed kinda pointless to have a big pot but don't have enough food to fill it. I don't think the portion of the larger pot was much different than the smaller chicken pot. I posted some pictures but it is a bit hard to tell since I took it from above and not the side. This wouldn't be a big deal if the cost of the food isn't so expensive too. I feel like one large pot can be shared with two people but not completely full/satisfied. That's why add-on items are necessary. And rice isn't included but they have it for extra charge. So overall, everything was good except my biggest complaint about the portion size for the amount I'm paying for the food. The chicken pot in my opinion has great flavor, and I liked it more than the beef. The beef on the other hand, they were very tender but lack a bit of flavor like it was water downed a bit. Once the chicken pot soup starts to go down, they can add broth to ur pot and make it like a hot pot style. I think this place would be better if they have bigger portion of food for the price of their food or have a smaller pot so it doesn't look so 'empty' or 'not a full' pot. read more

This place has been on chandler places to try for a while now and we were finally able to scratch it off today. Came by around 1pm for lunch, the rush soon followed us so we were super happy on our timing. Since it was our first time, we opted for the safe choice and ordered the namesake chicken hot pot. We were definitely NOT disappointed. The medium spice level was perfect to give you that spice you crave but it did not ruin your meal or make you uncomfortable (keep in mind, my friend and I have a higher spice preference than the average person so be cautious). The sauce that the chicken was cooked in had awesome flavor. We love that there were whole cloves of garlic in it. Our server did a nice job explaining their little unique intricacies differing them from your typical hotpot experience. Essentially the hotpot comes out dry first, allowing you to enjoy the dish with rice or by itself. Once you're ready to move on, the broth is added to turn the hotpot from dry to soup-based. At this time, if you had ordered any of the add-ons (veggies, other typical hotpot proteins such as fishcake, fishballs, squid, etc), you cook them in the soon to be boiling broth. The table had a built-in burner with easy buttons to control the temperature based on the stage of the meal. We opted to order enoki mushrooms, seaweed, Napa cabbage, quail eggs, and fish tofu. Everything cooked great in the broth. Once the broth was added, the original sauce from the dry pot deglazed, turning the broth even more flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and will be back to try a different pot. read more
