    This is one of those places where my whole family is willing to make an hour drive out to eat at. We've always gotten the seafood hotpot, while not pricey than other places, the prices justify that quality of food that you get. My parents are huge seafood fans so they know what's good, and the food here has consistently exceeded their expectations. We came on a Friday at 5:30 pm and there was still plenty of seats available. You can put your name on the Google wait list if needed, but I think if you come early there should be spots. There is a minimum of a two person dine in policy and I totally get why. If you really want to try everything you need a good group of 4-6 people so you're not stuck eating two dishes. You order the items on the iPad and then give it to a staff to place the order. Might help to know Chinese at this establishment. There's a sauces bar and a drinks fridge with fruits and other snacks for you to grab while you wait for food. As always you must end the meal with the durian, I'm not sure how they manage to get such yummy durians all the time, but apparently this is the place to eat to your content. The jelly dessert was OK, tasted more like a jello mix. If you pay in cash you can get their tea to go at the end. We left extremely full and may not need to eat for the next several meals, but I'm looking forward to the next time I return.

    Great service. Great food. Everything was lovely. Wish I had taken more pictures. Customer service was on point. They gave great recommendations and made us feel at ease and welcomed. It was our first time and it won't be our last. When they say all you can eat, they mean it.

    Great hotpot place! The food was fresh, the soup base was delicious, and the prices were very affordable. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

    Been here 3 times this year and Chongqing Wharf has quickly become my favorite restaurant. Probably the best hotpot in NJ, Chonqing Wharf uses some of the freshest, sometimes live ingredients. They offer a huge variety if seafood, meats, veggies, skewers, apps, drinks and even ice cream and bubble tea. The servers are always attentive and ready to replace dishes and utensils routinely. They are also very helpful if you don't know how their restaurant works as far as ordering from their tablets. Every table gets their choice of lobster or sea cucumber. Our lobster was prepared fresh and was still moving when we received it! Some of my favorites have to be the beef skewers and the mung bean noodles, and literally every type of beef. They even have different types of fresh sashimi as well as snowcrab legs. You will not leave this place here hungry! Pricewise, Chongqing Wharf is a bit more expensive than your average hotpot place. Since everything here is all you can eat, it has a $60 pp price tag which I do think is well worth it with how much seafood can fill yourself up on. I would also suggest researching sauce combinations before coming so you know how to make the best usage of their sauce bar. Also keep in mind hotpot restaurants will have you smelly after you leave so wear something casual. This is just a part of sitting in a restaurant full of steam. Pro tip: Pay with cash and you can order bubble tea at the end of your meal. Pro tip #2: Combine seafood soy sauce, a splash of hoisin, a splash of sesame oil, a splash of sesame sauce, a little sugar, green onions, and minced garlic to make a delicious hotpot sauce

    My friend took me here on my first night in NJ...I was very surprised that it was an AYCE hotpot with a wide selection of seafood options. There were a ton of different options of meats, veggies, and appetizers. I was also super surprised that there was unlimited drinks too. Aside from the hotpot, I loved the sashimi. There, of course, is a time limit and you will definitely smell like hotpot when you leave. The wait staff is supper nice and service is quick. I would only say that it is pricey, but you do pay for great quality.

    So happy that the weather has cooled down enough to have hotpot again!!! I missed this spot. The kind waitress even remembered me when I returned. The restaurant was packed when we arrived at 7pm and there was a short wait. Everything was A-ok per usual. Seafood was fresh and delicious and service was impeccable. Still one of my fav hotpot spots in NJ.

    Came here yesterday for lunch to celebrate My birthday with my family. There were 15 of us. The place is huge and clean. The staffs were very nice and helpful. They explained everything and also assisted us to make our meal better. The meat and seafood very excellent quality. Even though the price is a little pricey but I think it is worth it. We are from Malaysia so the durian is the spot on. My siblings, nieces and nephew love it so much. It is all you can eat! I will definitely come back! Kudos to the server who served us. He Rocks! Sorry that I didn't ask for your name! Thank you for your excellent service!

    Clams!

    All you can eat hotpot with an amazing selection of seafood dishes, including king crabs! They will also give you a complimentary lobster for every two guests. The selection is vast with appetizers, sashimi, raw oysters, tons of meat, veggies & protein, and all you can drink soda! Unfortunately they no longer offer whole coconut as an option for drinks. The service is attentive and the food comes out fast. They are very strict about the 2 hour limit, so eat more and talk less. The only negative here is the ventilation. Be prepared to smell like hotpot for awhile, even though they offer you a bag for your jackets and bags, the smell permeates into your hair and even your pores lol. A small price to pay for a delicious meal!

    I was looking forward to trying this hot pot! When I arrived I parked in their lot. I walked in and was greeted. The place was spacious and nice. I was sat and served by David and he was super nice. I ordered: Thai Tom Yum soup base tomato soup base passion fruit refresh tea fried bread fried shrimp Tempura Snow crab legs spicy boneless fish green Mussels crab meat potato corn instant noodles August steak slices The food was so good! I really like the two broths I picked. I also liked the passion fruit bubble tea! All in all I had a really good experience!

    One of my favorite AYCE hotpot chains in the tristate area. They serve fresh shashimi and seafood along with all regular hotpot items. You can order on a iPad and they have unlimited drinks that are self serve.

    $75 a person may seem like a steep price for hotpot, but it was definitely worth it. Everything was super fresh, the lobster was still moving when it got to our table. I loved the variety of seafood we could choose from. Even the sashimi was super fresh. Having the online queue system was super convenient as well so make sure to join before heading over! Service was very good. Servers were super attentive and checked in every few minutes to clean up the plates and take your orders. They offer a plastic bag when you arrive to put any jackets in, i highly recommend you use it since your clothes do smell once you finish eating. It is a 2 person minimum to eat here so make sure to bring some friends!

    Never seen the servers like this before, super nice and gentle, no one empty hands back to kitchen, always help customers changing plates, I order shrimp dish, they are always peeling shells for customers. Foods are fresh and delicious Bathroom very clean Morden dining area Plenty parking spots

    This is hands down my favorite hot pot place. I've been here many times and will absolutely keep coming back. Every visit is consistently amazing. The food selection is great - from lobster and crab to high-quality meats, sashimi, and so many options to choose from. Everything tastes fresh and premium. The spicy broths are also very good, perfectly spicy and flavorful. The service is also excellent. The staff is very attentive, friendly and on top of everything. It's a bit more expensive than some other hot pot spots in the area but it's 100% worth the price for the quality, variety and overall experience. This place feels like a special treat every time I go and is genuinely one of my favorite places to eat.

The buffalo fish does have many small bones which they warn about, but the flesh is very more meaty than most fishes and I don't mind the bones. The spicy garlic base comes with tons of garlic and is the perfect amount of spice. We added the mung bean noodles, lotus root and enoki mushrooms. The portion for the add-ons are very generous!

My only tiny critique is that it leans a bit salty, but it's perfect when paired with white rice. The more you eat, the more addictive it gets! Stew Tofu with Crab Roe You have to get a scoop of this. The golden crab roe sauce perfectly coats the silken tofu. It's savory, sweet, and velvety, which beautifully cuts through the heat of the other spicy dishes. I could honestly down three bowls of rice just mixing it with this sauce.

I ordered the ginger and scallion with beef brisket, pork belly, prince mushrooms, corn, sugar snap peas, and udon noodles. There were a lot of issues with my dish in particular. I ordered mild but my dish was very spicy. I can handle spice but I feel bad if anyone orders this who can't. I'll include a picture with the amount of Szechuan peppers in this dish. The menu says pork belly but what they actually mean is thinly sliced pork which is not the same. Additionally the menu indicated corn so I was under the impression I would get loose corn not corn on the cob. Otherwise, we probably only waited about 5 minutes for our food and all the wait staff was very attentive. My husband loved his dish though so we have very opposite opinions lol. I will be coming back because my husband still loved it here and I want to give the hot pot a try.

When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!
