    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.

    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.

    Lobster.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    $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

    A fantastic experience and well worth the price! One of the best AYCE I've experienced in the US- and our server was amazing too. Will be returning. Only thing to caution is that the mala soup base is extremely spicy!!

    Came here with my boyfriend on a Sunday night and we had a great experience! We arrived at around 5:30 and luckily there was no wait at all and we were seated right away. There were a lot of seafood and meat choices and all of them were fresh and tasty. The AYCE also came with a free lobster and it was so fresh that it was still moving when it came to the table. The servers were extremely attentive and always came checked up on us. I was eating the lobster and one of them saw me struggling and gave me tools to crack the shell without me even asking. The meal was around $75 per person after tips and tax. Given that it had sashimi, a free lobster, and a lot of seafood options, I think it was a great deal! I will definitely come back in the future!

    What a great find! I am a fan of seafood. This place doesn't disappoint. It's AYCE seafood hotpot. So you better come hungry! You order through their iPad. They have tons of selection to choose from! They have sashimi, oyster on a half shell, and for hotpot they have king crab, blue crab, shrimps, prawns, different types of clams and also they have durian just to name a few items. Service at this place is fantastic! Staffs are always friendly. They'll check up on you every few minutes. You'll never have plates piling up. This place do have a lot of seating but tend to fill up very quickly especially on the weekend during dinner hour.

    FRESH Sea cucumber!

The restaurant is very spacious and perfect for large groups and families. There's peanuts, fried broad beans, and sunflower seeds at the table for you to eat while waiting for the food. The Artic clams have a pepper sauce that is super addicting and comes with cucumbers underneath that add a refreshing crunch. We tried the buffalo fish in a spicy garlic base. 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!

Hubs said that he would've preferred the buffalo fish because he thought it tasted better. But, it was too many bones for Daughter and I, so he got the stripe bass instead. This was delicious! It was nice and spicy but not too spicy. Just the right amount. We also ordered white rice, but we only got a bowl and was hoping for more. They were generous with the instant noodle, though. It came in a small casserole pot. Hubs love this place. He loves the presentation of the fish with sides surrounding it in a big rectangular heated platter. There's this big wall of video going on with karaoke for those who are interested in singing. There was only one other table dining when we were there, so no one was singing during that time. Service was what you'd expect at a Chinese restaurant, quick and efficient. Will definitely to try other fish entrees when we get a chance!

(the broth wasn't signature but it was a type of soup that also had mala in it) it was delicious but i am not a big fan of the numbing taste/sensation. i ended up recooking it at home to really enjoy it. i also ordered scallion pancakes and it very flaky and flavorful. the table ordered 2 sets of mala wings, a soft shell crab, crispy pork belly, two other signature mala soups, and a fried rice with added steak i believe. everything was very yummy, and the only thing i would change besides the soup would be the wings. i would try the black pepper flavor instead. the mala wings were a bit underwhelming being that we've had at least five different mala flavored meals at the table. the restaurant was a bit smaller than i expected from the social medias, but the staff was kind and very informative. i'd return and try different options!

They now control their ordered system through QR codes and it's all completed on your phone. My husband and I both opted for a dry pot. It's $1 for the sauce/seasoning, $4.95 for each meat and $3.95 for each vegetable or starch. As you can imagine this adds up quickly. 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.

Hearing that crunch just makes you want to eat more. Second, Shrimp ball with salted egg yolk - i don't know why but to me this dish is very comforting. It's crispy on the outside but very juicy on the inside. The shrimp is always cooked perfectly. They coat it in salted egg yolk which compliments the shrimp really well. I also love eating the shrimp chips that it comes with. Lastly, Wontons in Hot chili oil - be careful cause this for sure will burn your tongue because of how hot the meat inside the wonton is. Again, perfectly cooked. The wonton skin and meat ratio is perfect for me. We also use the chili oil to put over our rice and it makes our rice so flavorful.
