Let me start this review by saying I'm not the biggest fan of Hot Pot. I've tried it a few times in the past and couldn't understand what the hype was. That was until I came to Chongqing. I can't remember the last time I was completely full and kept eating because the food was that good. Came in on a Tuesday night so the place was pretty empty. Needless to say service was on point. Very attentive and friendly. You order on a paper menu as you write and circle what you want. Fail proof system in my opinion. You also pick your size from small to large. We decide to order the Brisket Hot Pot and picked the large size as there was two of us. Once the pot came out we realized it was way too much food for two people. This wasn't including the extra sides we ordered. Everything came out fresh and in a reasonable time. The brisket itself was so tender it melted in your mouth. It would have been nice to know it came with potato's already cooked into the hot pot because I ordered sliced potato's on the side. The broth had so much flavor! I ordered in medium spice and it was the perfect amount of heat. Hot enough to make my nose running but still able to enjoy the flavor. One thing that really stood out to me was at the end of our meal we asked for a to-go container and our waitress came to our able to box everything up for us. She took her time and made sure she packed every item no matter how little or small the item was. In summary I'm now a fan of Hot Pot or I should say I'm a fan of this Hot Pot lol. I'll be back soon!
Real ones know you gotta call this place ChingChong Chicken Pot. Jokes aside, this is such an interesting concept (clay pot into hot pot), but it works well. I would get the beef clay pot again. The chicken clay pot is also good, but you have to deal with a lot of bones. Tho honestly, the clay pot will probably be 80% of the meal, so keep that in mind when ordering for the hot pot portion.
Food is always 100/10. Every time I'm in Houston this is always one of the stops. We ordered the Medium chicken pot which was plenty for 4 people. You start off with a dry pot usually enjoyed with rice then when you're ready the staff will pour in a soup, converting it into a hotpot where you'll enjoy it with other ingredients.
A unique experience with hot pot! You pick your dry hot pot dish (i liked the beef) and first eat it with rice. Once you're done, they'll pour the hot pot base in the pot for you and you add your veggies and meat like a regular hot pot (and cook it)! The dry pot flavor was very delicious. The only complaint was that the meat in the dry pot was non existent. The chicken dry pot had barely any meat (all bones). You also individually pay for the items you throw in the hot pot (not all you can eat). It kind of forces you to pay a lot for extra meat. Nevertheless, the hot pot was good. Service was good. The restaurant is smaller and has limited space. There is a little sauce station as well. Overall, it was a fun experience!
I haven't been back here in about a year, and let's just say... I've missed it. I often get the frog pot, but I decided to try to garlic ribs this time. Amazing. Compared to the frog pot, it definitely has less bones. Plenty of garlic if that's what you're into. I love how there's a second course; hotpot! After you're done, they pour broth into the remainder and you can order a la carte hotpot items. If you're hungry and looking to eat a lot, this is the place.
So Houston Chinatown has options ip the wazoo and my bookmarks for the area keeps growing and does not shrink. I saw this spot driving along Belleaire and it went on my list fairly quickly but I did not make the effort to come out. That is until one of my friends recommended it and shared with me that its sort of 2 meals in one (a dry pot to start that becomes hot pot). That sold me so I made my way. We came on a Friday night and surprisingly not busy so we were sat pretty quickly. Its a casual Chinese-decored spot and has the like... modernized take on old school China aesthetic..? Anyways my partner and I ordered the medium chicken dry pot and some various a la cart hot pot items for part 2 of dinner. I did find it odd that you have to pay for rice as I'm so used to it just being an unlimited carb at Chinese restaurants but definitely don't skip the rice. Regardless, the dry pot was very flavorful and I'd highly recommend adding the green peppercorns for that signature Szechuan numbing. Between the two of us, the medium chicken pot was already more than enough food but we still had a whole hotpot course. To start that, you just notify the staff that you're ready for hotpot and they'll come over with a giant kettle of soup to pour in your pot. Then you have a new hot pot meal and can order more sides. Theres also a sauce bar if you want to create a dipping sauce for your hot pot goods. As someone who loves hot pot, I really enjoyed the multimeal approach here and can see it being a really fun spot for large groups. The amount of food provided for the cost was fair and my partner and I ended up with lots of leftovers. I'd highly recommend this spot for anyone!
Food: The Beef Ribs Pot was delicious! There was a lot of veggies and meat enough for 2 people. If you're going with 4 people, it will be enough if you all get rice as well. All in all, no complaints about the food--it was savoury, delicious and they even have an open sauce bar for your convenience (although I would argue that you don't even need it, even if you're doing the hotpot portion)! Service: Service was great! We went at a pretty slow time (around 4pm) and there was only 2 other tables beside us. The waiters always noticed when our water and soup bases were low--very attentive! Ambiance: Love! No notes, they even have a TV for your entertainment. There are a lot of tables with beautiful Chinese decorations. TDLR: food was enough for 2-3 people, waiters were very attentive and there is a lot of space for other diners. Would I come back? Yes, I would definitely come back!
A unique dining experience that encourages extended meals and conversation. You start the meal off with a dry pot stir fry of your choice - definitely pay the extra $1 for rice cause idk how else you can enjoy the dish. You typically wanna finish the meat before moving on to the second portion of your meal. They will add a bone broth to the remaining veggies and sauce in your pot which now turns your meal into hotpot. The best of both worlds for people who want different meals for dinner. 5 sides for the hotpot and one small pot was enough to satisfy 3 people for around $17 per person after tip. A great place to catch up with someone, I wouldn't come here expecting a quick in and out meal
The interesting thing with this restaurant is that you start off with a main dish (chicken, frog, beef, shrimp, etc...) and after you're finished with the main dish they pore a soup base into the clay pot so that you can have a round of hot pot afterwards. The whole experience was worth the value. The price was not very expensive and left me feeling completely full. The flavor of all of the dishes were great. The establishment was clean and service was good. I would recommend and I would be willing to come back myself!
Came all the way from Austin to Houston just to eat, and wow--I'm so glad we did! Austin doesn't have too many spots like this, so this was such a treat. The broth was absolutely packed with flavor--rich, comforting, and downright addictive. The restaurant was spotless (love a super clean space ), and parking was surprisingly easy, which made the whole experience even smoother. Service was a little on the slower side, but honestly, once the food hit the table, it was worth the wait. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I'm in Houston--highly recommend if you're craving something comforting and flavorful!
Chongqing has been a staple in my family for a while now. We've been here multiple occasions and it is phenomenal every time. The servers are pretty attentive, and it's a nice family vibe in here. You start off with a dry pot that is accompanied by a side of steamed rice. We got the garlic ribs on medium spice this time, and it was very good. The spare ribs were super tender and fell off the bone, while the sauce was very well seasoned which went perfectly with rice. After you finish the dry pot, you can request the broth to be poured in to make it a hot pot where you can order additional proteins like beef, lamb, fish, etc along with glass noodles, ramen and veggies. They also have a sauce bar where you can make your own dip for the hot pot. The bill came out to be $120 including tax and tip for 4 of us which is pretty good considering we were all pretty full.
My partner and I ventured to Chongqing Chicken Pot on a Friday night when it was slightly cooler and we were in the mood for a warm, hearty meal. This is a cool spot in the plaza with Meet Fresh (has its own parking garage that is three levels) that serves "dry" pots with your protein of choice first, followed by adding broth to the pot with whatever options you want (veggies, noodles, more protein). We started with the chicken pot, which had tons of white and dark meat, a bit of spiciness and a slight numbing sensation, red onion, celery, and delicious whip garlic that absorbed all of the saucy goodness (even though it's a dry pot, it still has a decent sauce base, it's just not full blown broth). Pictured is a medium pot, which is probably too much for two adults unless you haven't eaten all day. We barely finished the chicken when we were ready for the broth to make it into a more traditional hot pot. Note that you select your hotpot options at the beginning so they come out well in advance of adding the broth. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and we certainly didn't leave hungry. Our servers were very kind and checked in frequently. And the price for two adults was quite reasonable when you consider we had 2 meals a piece. Give them a try when you're in the Bellaire/Chinatown area of Houston. Just make sure you come hungry!
Controversial but gotta give credit when credit is due -- thanks to Mikey Chen, is how I found out about this place! I love dry hotpot along with Szechuan cuisine, and since Bay Area has just a couple places, I knew I wanted to check this place out (so glad I did!) We arrived around 6:00pm (get here early, it'll get pretty packed and then there'll be a waitlist!) and were able to be seated and started grubbing around 6:30pm We got the Medium Chicken Pot at Mild Spice -- very tasty and also it was perfect for SO who doesn't eat a lot spice, and the Medium was a great size to split among two average eaters! But, wishing I ordered a small now...because the remaining spices at the bottom of the pot...staff adds broth to it and ta-da, HOTPOT time! Ugh had I known the broth would be so delicious, I would've opt for a small pot lol Highly recommend checking out this place if you love Hotpot + Szechuan cuisine, it's located in a plaza with its lots of desserts too which is always a bonus!

Today I had this craving of wanting some delicious hotpot in Chinatown. I only had one thought of a place, Chongqing Chicken Pot. Personally for me, this is a very long and awaited review for this restaurant. I often stop in with family and we have a usual set order. I walked in today at a time where the restaurant had no one dining in. But usually the atmosphere is typically busy especially on the weekends. Once we took our seats, I marked the choices on the paper. Typically it is this: 2-3 rice bowls, the brisket dry hotpot non spicy but sometimes mild spice, add ons are watercress, enoki mushrooms, and beef/lamb. But included fish tofu for today's visit and went with the large size but we pick medium often. I always skipped the sauce bar the first few times we dined at the start but now I made it a habit to make some to complement the proteins especially the brisket. Also I keep some small notes on my phone what to include if I forget. The dry pot is always appetizing when it first arrives to the table. The vegetables and aroma is always something I look forward to. But first bite is always grabbing a piece of the brisket and once I dip it into the dipping sauce then I am hooked. It is tender first bite. Once we have eaten a bit, we ask the staff for the soup broth to be added and they bring ladles to the table. Overall, I cannot say anything negative about Chongqing Chicken pot. We stop in so much to eat, I always wonder if the staff ever think, "Oh it's them again" or if they ever get tired of seeing us. If there is a loyalty program for the restaurant with a punch stamp card, I definitely think we could redeem a free hotpot by now. Haha But the staff are always nice and attentive especially if the soup starts to boil too fast by lowering the heat. It is filling and great for multiple to enjoy but we always ask to get it to go. Also I appreciate the time for them to help and pack it for us. Always a good experience until the time the cravings start again. read more
Highlight: Chongqing Chicken Pot and hot pot with beef, lamb, enoki mushrooms, quail eggs, and bean curd Such a fun and unique dining experience, where you first enjoy tender, tasty, and flavorful chicken from a pot, which later transforms into a savory hot pot, broth flavored by the remains of the chicken pot. You're eating most parts of a chicken so be prepared to work for the meat. The ones closer to the bones are the most tender and flavorful. The meats for the hot pot were high quality and the vegetables tasted even better after soaking in the broth. Hospitality: Got our hot pot ingredients soon after we ordered but the chicken pot did take about 15 minutes. The staff was attentive and did provide us with our broth as soon as we were ready. Honorable Mention: Be prepared to stay a little bit longer than an average restaurant to be able to enjoy the meal fully. I would recommend! read more
I came with my friend one time and we shared a spicy chicken pot dish (it was enough for 2!). The dish itself was super tasty and I like that it's not just white meat like in some restaurants, this has my favorite dark meat that you have to tear from bones. The pepper and onions cooked in this were also super tasty. After you are done with the dry pot, broth is added to make it a soup/hot pot and you add toppings. I'm not giving it 5/5 stars b/c while I know some people love this, I'd rather have just done the dry pot. I know the idea is that once broth is added, there's the extra flavor from the dry pot before but I don't think it did anything for me. read more
Maybe my friends and I are just dumb but no one explained this to us, so I'll just explain it here for those who are also coming here for the first time. So you order a pot (we just got the Chongqing chicken pot) with whatever spice level you want and rice if you want. And the pot will come out as just like a meat bowl. Once you eat through about half to three quarters of the meal, you can go ahead and order for the birth which then gets poured in. And then you can order whatever ingredients for hotpot and make your sauces at the bar etc. None of the waiters explained anything to us despite us clearly being confused each step of the way, which was a little annoying, but other than that, the service was pretty attentive. The food itself was really good. The chicken was decently tender and amazingly flavored. But it was really frustrating picking out all the bones. I wish that they had kept the chicken in some bigger pieces to make the bone picking process easier because I do understand the importance of the flavor the bones bring. read more

Chongqing Chicken Pot is located in one of the newer strips in Chinatown. It offers a variety of meats from chicken to frog legs, which you can add broth to and eat as hot pot after. I have been to Chongqing Chicken Pot numerous times with my friends, and I think it has been a hit for many! You definitely have to come with an empty stomach and a big appetite. I always get the chicken pot to eat with rice first. It comes in a marinade with lots of onions, shallots, and garlic. If you're vietnamese and like gà kho, then you will definitely like this part! I like to pour in the chicken and pork-based broth after finishing about 2/3 of the chicken with rice. The broth and the chicken marinade goes well together making the broth a very deep flavor. The key ingredients you must add into the hotpot are the Korean rice cake slices, hot pot beef, and taro! I think the hot pot beef here is soft and of higher quality than other hotpot places. There is a sauce bar for you to make your own sauce to dip all your beef and other hotpot items into, as well. The staff is always nice when I visit. You might have to wave to them when you want the broth, but other than that, they're pretty attentive and take away plates that are done pretty quickly. Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you want to try something unique and love a hearty and deep hotpot or well-seasoned, marinated meats. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. read more

After lots of recommendations from friends, I finally had the chance to try Chongqing Chicken Pot! To give some context, this is located in the same plaza as Beard Papa, Tiger Sugar and many others. The concept of this place is that you will order a pot with a protein of your choice and then when you are about halfway done (or are ready for the broth), you can ask the waiter to come pour in the hot pot broth. We came on a Saturday night, which no surprise that had about a 30 minute wait for six people. For a group of six, we ordered one medium pot and one small pot. The chicken itself was flavorful, but keep in mind it did have a lot of bones. I enjoyed that they included a lot of vegetables in the pot, such as onions and celery that were flavorful from the marinade. Once we added the hot pot broth, we ordered ingredients such as noodles, rice cakes, Enoki mushrooms, beef, and much more. You can control the heat of the pot from your table, and there is a sauce bar located near the cash register. Overall, the experience was good, and I hope to be back again one day. I would say this restaurant is good for mainly if you have a big group of friends, or family coming in to share. Note: The broth has Pork for anyone who may have dietary restrictions. There is parking, but given that this plaza is so pack you would probably be better off parking in the garage if you don't want your car to be hit with the narrow parking spaces up front. read more
I always come here when I'm in Houston. The chicken pot is so yummy. This time, however, it wasn't spicy and we got medium spice and the sauce tasted sweeter. Their hot pot ingredients are quite pricey for their quality and quantity. Also, we got "hot pot noodles" and "hot pot glass noodles" and turns out it was instant ramen noodles and the round glass noodles, not the flat noodles that are commonly known as hot pot noodles. Their service is very good. The waiters are very attentive and fast with any requests. I definitely want to come back and try their other pots. read more

I gave it five stars because of the food, it's a small, obviously family owned business that does it right! They boil your broth at the table, and the food was all fresh and fantastically spiced, absolutely great place for real Chinese food read more

This was a cool twist on your normal hot pot. We ordered the popular spicy chicken hot pot which was packed with flavor but could have been spicier. The chicken was super tender and the onions paired really well with the dish. After you are finished with the dish, they come to pour broth in and you can order toppings that you can add. We ordered an assortment of veggies, fish balls, mushroom and tofu which were all great choices. Overall, it was super tasty and was an unique experience. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes! read more
My boyfriend and I came across this place because it is one of the restaurants open in Chinatown May at night. FOOD: Initially, we ordered the small chicken pot as well as the beef pot. We were initially served the chicken pot which was DELICIOUS. For a small size, I would say it was big enough to feed two with leftovers. We actually came back to our waitress to cancel our beef order because the chicken filled us up. It came out to be about $25 for the both of us including the soup as well as side that we ordered. Not bad for a quick dinner date! SERVICE The waitress was so sweet and so fast. They were constantly moving and was on top of our order. CLEANLINESS Though I didn't go to the restroom, the restaurant itself was very clean. They waited and bussed the tables almost instantly. It wasn't a particularly busy evening, however. read more

First time ever going and the beef hot pot was so good. Go slow, or you will burn your mouth trying to eat it too fast. I got it spice level "hot" and it was perfect. I got a medium size for myself because I was starving and it was just right. There are bones in the beef pot but as I filled up the plate the staff came and gave me another plate and were attentive. I like the vibe and they had good music and not too loud. It was also a clean space. I like trying new places and I'll be back again with friends and family. read more
I got the Chongqing chicken pot and added fish fillets and watercress for the hotpot course. I thought the flavor and tenderness of the chicken pot was great. Fish and watercress were fresh. The whole experience is pricey if you want the whole experience. The chicken pot is at least $14, pay $1 for rice, and then you pay extra for hot pot items. It quickly adds up if you're hungry enough. Great location with ample parking. Service was good. read more
Came here on a Friday night at 6pm. There was no wait to get a table for 5 people. We ordered the chicken & frog pot. After you essentially eat the meat, the waiters will pour hot water into the pots to start the hot pot. You can order any of the food options on their menu to cook in the hot pot such as tofu, meat, cabbage, etc. We ordered 5 trays of hot pot beef, 3 fried tofu skins, 1 cabbage, 2 watercress, 1 pork dumpling, and 1 tray of mushrooms. This food was ALOT for 5 people and the price is extremely reasonable. The service was also good. They were attentive and quick with our requests. It is also BYOB which was awesome to have a chill night especially when it's cold. Would definitely come back! read more
TL:DR 100 percent recommending this place. If you like hot pot and savory Chinese dishes, this is the spot you must try in Houston. The main dish is a stew. There are several options with small, medium, and large sizes. The unique part is, after you are almost done with the stew, they add broth to it and make it into a hotpot. You can select all the hot pot ingredients when you are ordering initially. I have been there multiple times this past year. Of course, like most hotpot places, there is a self-made sauce spot with various ingredients. Check out the two we made. Another reason I like the restaurant is that it seems like a family-owned local business. You see the same waiter and waitress there all the time. You even see kids around sometimes. They don't take reservations. As dinner time progress, it gets busier. Personally, don't go after eight if you don't want to wait during the weekend. The stores around are also a great reason to stop by. You have three drink places to chose from after your meal. One of them is the Tiger Bubba Tea. read more
I love this place! Great bang for your buck. The portions are good and the meat is always tender. You start with a dry pot of meat that you eat with rice and then they add broth to make it hot pot. They have a good sauce bar too. My favorite is the brisket pot but the chicken & beef ribs are good too. read more
It was a typical busy Saturday night. We went early like 5:30 to make sure we beat the crowd. Anything after 6:30/7, there's a wait. We got a table right away, she started to pencil in our order. We got the Chicken pot medium spice level , with sides of rice. After you are finished eating the chicken with rice they will come around and pour broth into your pot and now you have Hot Pot. We picked additional sides such as veggies, taro, tofu, meat, fish balls, shrimp balls, fish and mushroom to dunk into our hot pot. The large was shared for 6 adults, which is amazing. Definitely go with a large group so you get lots of sides to enjoy with your hot pot. read more
