TOP 3 HOT POT When the broth is this good, customers drive from miles away. IYKYK This is many locals favorite Sichuan style hotpot for a reason, even at the dinner price always of unlimited, AYCE = all you can eat of $29. My main complaint is that the crispy pork is not included in the $32. Under new management, Alina, the new owner --- proudly hails from herself and stops by almost every table to say hello. All of the broths here are made from scratch, and the house flavor is spicy beef. However, I visit for the fragrant and numbing golden broth. And, unlike other hotpot restaurants, the sauce bar here has even more complimentary numbing peppercorn oil available 花椒油. Best items here are: Broth... these are the best broth in Georgia. Handmade wontons, you can taste the difference. Fresh shrimp meatball paste, that is served in the faux bamboo with special spatula. Brown sugar rice cakes. Crispy on the outside, warm and chewy interior, covered in brown sugar syrup. Handmade noodles, which are chewy and dusted in flour. How to order: Scan QR code and order unlimited meats and sides, all clearly marked, then they are brought fresh to your table. No buffet here, other than sauce bar. read more

Friendly owner and worker. They took time to explain their broth and ensured that we can handle the spice level we ordered :) Very tasty and authentic broth. I love their homemade options such as hand pull noodles, dumplings, shrimp paste and fish paste. They gave you the paste in a lang bamboo scoop with a spatula so you can make your own fish or shrimp balls per the size you want. A very unique experience indeed. read more

I'm on a journey to find some great hot pot in the area, so my fiancé and I came here for lunch. I would have preferred to order with the waitress instead of using the QR code, but I did like the fact that you get to choose your vegetables and any other sides that you'd like. I ordered the sliced lamb with spicy kimchi broth and my fiancé got the brisket with miso broth. They give you more than enough protein and vegetables, but I would have enjoyed more sauce options as well. We also only received one order of the handmade noodles and when we asked for more, it seemed like there was confusion between the waitresses. Controlling the hot plate was pretty simple, with a low, medium, and high option for the heat, however, if any of the liquid got on the table and touched the power button, it would turn off. Once we were finished, the waitress was generous enough to have us try a complimentary dessert pastry. Overall, I enjoyed this hot pot experience and I'm glad that we gave this restaurant a try. read more

Under new management!! This place is sooo good AND the same $32 for ayce.They added many more broth options including a hot and sour broth that I am obsessed with. They also added new menu options, including many in-house made dumplings and noodles. Everything we wanted was there so we were satisfied! They also have free canned drinks which you can grab yourself! As for the interior it is a lot more clean, but the seating has changed. The service is much more attentive than it was, with our server checking in on us, but also giving us the space to just enjoy our food. We were given fresh cut watermelon at the end which was a nice bonus too! I have literally no complaints. The produce is fresh, the food is flavorful, and my tummy is happy. read more

This spot has recently changed management and its exponentially better. The interior feels a lot more open and welcoming since they renovated a little and the staff are friendly and nicer than the previous. Canned sodas are free and they added a couple more options to the broths and vegetables. The quality for everything was also improved, vegetables were crisp and clean, meats were all tender and not too fatty at all. For 31.99$ it's a solid option for the area and well worth it. read more

Not bad but also not the best I have had. Dumpling have very thick wrappers and filling is not very flavorful.

Before coming, you should definitely expect VERY typical Chinese service, meaning if you want something, you have to go and ask or just get it yourself. It's not offensive to them and it's also what they expect of you, rather than the American tableside service of waiters coming up to check on you every few minutes. With that being said, it's not unusual to look up and have trouble finding the employees (there was really only 1 main person who was both hosting, taking orders, and serving while I was there). It would also help to have a Chinese speaker to better explain what you want/need. The broths weren't as flavorful as I was hoping, but I have yet to find a truly flavorful location in Georgia (I come from the SGV in Cali, so IYKYK). However, they have a VERY vast selection of sauces, so it made the food taste good regardless of the broth flavor. Another hack for any situation where you have bland broth is to go to the sauces and make some broth base to throw into your broth--it'll amp up the flavor too. People do that all the time at Din Tai Fung in China. The mala broth with level 2 out of 5 spice level was barely spicy (couldn't taste it), so ramp it up for 3 or more, especially if you are used to actual mala broth (those of you who are accustomed to Chongqing level spice...go up to 5, you won't break a sweat). I do eat fairly spicy though, so if you're spiced out by kimchi then you should stick with 1 or 2. 3 or 4 is probably the usual Szechuan spice level in GA and 5 is probably a little more than that. The meats aren't the best quality--they're not particularly soft and flavor is rather bland (I couldn't tell what was beef, pork, or lamb!), but it's not awful. The fresh fish paste and shrimp paste are quite good, and the veggies are nice and clean. They don't give a whole lot at a time though, so if you're big eaters, plan to hunt down the employees and order often. Overall, this place is the best I've had in Georgia so far, but not by much, and a far, far cry from Cali. If anyone knows of any other AYCE chinese hot pot places in GA, let me know! I'm still on the hunt! read more

Chuan Yu Hot Pot - So good - Hot Pot Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Nasty place. As a returning customer, they looked for excuses to turn me away today when I was alone. I have eaten here before with friends and family; the food wasn't that great, and now I regret even more supporting such a business. The owner has no grace. I will never return. read more

AYCE is awesome and great! Food is fresh and hot. Service good. This place is the bomb.

Have been here twice in the last month since I moved from the west coast in early December. The new owner and her family run this place so it gives it a homey feel. The staff is very friendly and want to make sure you have the best experience possible. The quality of the ingredients they use is great and the flavors were amazing. Definitely coming back regularly. read more

FOR THE AREA...its nice! Actually very great in my opinion because the authentic chinese hot pot options are not toooo vast in this area. For the experience and everything, i wouldnt say it's anything "special" .. just standard and authentic. There was a sauce bar and everything, but i noticed their chili oil had tons of whole chillies in it, which is pretty cool. We had a table for 4, and they sat us in the center. Water was leaking from the roof... they just told us to scoot over. We felt kinda weird by that since they were not busy at all and didn't suggest us to be moved. So needless to say, typical chinese service. But what can you expect anyways. My problem was more with the broth too. Mushroom & Spicy broth was chosen, Spicy broth was pretty good, but the mushroom was lacking any drop of flavor.. i dont know if it is me or what but i just have had a lot better. read more

I have experienced Japanese Shabu Shabu many times, but this is the first time to experience Chinese Hot Pot. I was blown away. Delicious to the max! There wasn't anything I tried that didn't taste wonderful. The staff was so kind and helpful. I thought the price point was right on. It is a definite go to place. You can't miss this if you enjoy the hot pot experience. The restaurant was inviting and felt authentic. It is off the main path, but definitely worth the trip to find! read more

Food was amazing and the service was awesome. 10/10, it was authentic chengdu hot pot.

My recent visit let me disappointed. This place used to be my favorite hotpot place but now the price has gone up and the meat quality is way too terrible...the beef slices contain 90% of fat and the taste is so bad. Soup base is flavorless. Shrimp paste doesn't contain much shrimp but way too much corn starch. The only good part is the sauce bar is still ok. Will not come back again. read more

As a hot pot lover and weekly hot pot consumer, Chuan Yu all around, is the best hot pot in GA! Some people in this group have given this place bed reviews but I honestly think it's because they don't know how/what to order. Chuan Yu offers individual pots and the split pot combo. For best experience, I highly recommend sitting at the table that accommodates the split pot. For broth options, the bone broth and the spicy broth are my go to. The bone broth is soo flavorful and spicy broth is . I usually get Level 3 spicy but it def leave my . For meats, we always get the pork and beef. Look at the meat quality here!! Guaranteed juicy every bite. You honestly don't even need sauce here as the broth is sooo soooo good! But to some people, sauce is life! Here is my sauce recipe: Garlic ShaCha Sauce Peanut Butter Bean Sauce Sesame Oil Fish Sauce Sugar (Pinch) Cilantro Sesame Seeds As you can see on the menu, they have lots of food to offer. The owners do not speak English very well here (they kinda just nod and smile). So if you want more of something, simply write it on the menu.

My sister was raving about this hot pot place and I am a huge fan of Chinese Hot Pot, so when I was visiting in town, a few of my friends and I decided to check this place out. We visited on a Tuesday evening, and the place was fairly empty with a few patrons here and there. I did notice that this place already felt super authentic, so we were really excited. This place is AYCE with a few sides that charge extra, but most of the toppings for the soup are part of the $31.99 price, and they give you a sheet of paper where they let you choose the toppings. You get to choose two broths, so we ordered the beef bone broth, and the spicy (level 2) broth. Some of the toppings we ordered were -- napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, spam, fried tofu, tofu, eggs, corn, bok choy, bean sprouts, sausages, beef balls, beef, shrimp, fish filet, fish paste, glass noodles, ramen noodles, fish balls, crab meat, rice cakes, and a bunch more but we can't remember. There is a self-serve sauce bar, and they DO have peanut sauce (which is a must) so you're able to make your own sauce. After we put our initial order in, our server brought us out the broth, the meat and all the toppings we ordered. I must say -- we came with a group of 5 and she brought out PLENTY of toppings (including the meat!). It was so much that we didn't even have to order a second round. The broth was really good from both flavors -- I will say the spicy level 2 is PRETTY spicy, so I think I would opt for level 1 next time, and once the ingredients start cooking and boiling, the flavor of the soup gets deeper and deeper. For $31.99, it was a great package price! You're able to pick out what you wanna eat for a pretty affordable price and the meat is AYCE too, which is the best part. I wouldn't say it was the BEST hot pot I've had, but it was still pretty darn good and I would definitely return here! read more

I been looking for another AYCE Hot Pot in the north metro area outside of the Duluth area and finally found it!!! This place is tucked away in a halfway abandoned Suwanee shopping plaza(The Plaza At Suwanee Station) right off of Peachtree Ind Blvd and very close close to Mcginess Ferry Rd. There is plenty of parking if you don't want your baby dinged up! When I came in, I was greeted right away by the employee who was super friendly. I came in on a late Sunday afternoon and there was only one other party. The decor was nice and I was told that it used to be a sushi restaurant and has been opened for 3 years now. Funny how I never even knew about this place or even saw it on Yelp. There is only 22 reviews of this place and not many photos. Photos of the menu here was in Chinese on here and I was alittle worried since I don't read any Chinese. The tables were really big and very comfortable. It's not a traditional hot pot as the cooking pot itself is more like a giant tray. I love this bc there is plenty of room to stuff meat, seafood, and veggies inside. The AYCE menu lists the seafood, meat, veggies, and etc. You check the items you want and let the waiter know. It has all the typical Hot Pot stuff that I love including: Beef brisket, Shrimp, Mussels, Clams, Enoki Mushrooms, Spinach, Corn, and surprisingly "Shrimp Paste." I won't go all into detail, but just seen the attached photo of the menu. I got the Spicy and Bone soup base which was amazing. I got the mild spicy and it definitely was on the hot side. So use caution!! They have a split tray so you can get two flavors at once. There is also a sauce bar which has my two favorites: peanut sauce, sesame sauce, cilantro, onions, garlic, chili oil, and all the works. Customer service was on point and they gave you a huge pitcher of ice water so you don't ever run out or have to ask for more like other hot pot places. Each table has their own napkin dispenser so I never ran out of napkins like most hot pot places. These two was a huge plus for me. The little things make me happy! There is a 2 hour limit but I never hit that as my 2nd order really filled me up. The shrimp here is huge and fresh and I enjoyed this the best here. Everything appeared to be fresh as well. The restaurant and bathroom appeared to be a lot more clean than most of the hot pot places I been to in the Duluth area. There is also a bar area. Buffet price for weekends is $24.99 and Monday-Thur is $21.99. I read there is a lunch special for only $10.99 but not sure what that all includes. If it's the same menu as the dinner, then that's a steal!! I highly recommend this place if you want a good AYCE hot pot place. People who love 89 Hot Pot/9 Spice or 9292 Shabu will indeed love this place!! This place is a hidden gem and I hope it does well and stays open! I can't wait to come back here again!! read more

I am a very very patient and reasonable person that understands you can be busy or occupied with other customers. However, there were only 2 tables in the restaurant yet I received no service whatsoever. I am aware Chinese customer service can be pretty bad but if they are at least somewhere on the floor where you can flag them down, they were nowhere to be found at all. If you were to run out of food from the first time they bring out the tray you would literally be sitting there for a good 5-10 minutes just trying to get someones attention to get more food. Then they bring you the piece of paper in which you checkmark which items you want and then you have to wait yet another 5-10 minutes just waiting for someone to come by to grab the piece of paper to give to the kitchen. That's a lot of waiting around for something that should be pretty common sense to just check up on the table if they finished filling out the form. The food was good but service over here is quite literally one of the worst places I have ever been to in my life. It can easily be fixed if the server could walk around and look if there's an empty food tray, then they could ask if the customer wants more food or need anything else (this should just be common sense). This was my second time coming over here and my experience the first time wasn't too different from that so it's pretty obvious these guys just think they can do the bare minimum and get paid out. I definitely will not be coming here again. read more

Want a spot that will hit that hot pot crave that would leave you beyond satisfied? Look no further than this place! I have been going here anytime I have an itch for some really spicy (or not - with the pork bone) broth. You'll fill out a sheet to detail what type of broth you'd like along with the other dishes. The spicy broth is definitely spicy, so I would suggest going with level 1 if this is your first time there as you can always add more spice / peppers to achieve the higher levels. I usually go for the pork bone broth. I would compensate for heat through the sauce bar in the back corner. Next to the sauce bar would be where you can grab extra utensils / bowls / plates for the table. Service is well rounded. They would come around to check on your broth level / temp and adjust accordingly. From the times I have dined here, I have noticed that the server staff is made up of only 2 personnel. Despite having such a low number, rest assured that you will be well kept. Food is always amazing. I know it's pretty standard hot pot but here are a few things that makes this spot stand out from the others: the spicy broth is a balance between spicy and the lip numbing sensation, the additional a la carte items (especially the fried bread / honey bread) is a great addition, and the level of consistency on multiple aspects such as the service, food, and overall experience. Some tips: Bring some cash to pay for your bill because your initial canned drinks will be free if paid through cash. Also, with their low staff count, they will have lunch as well which results in a bit of hang up in service so plan your visit accordingly if that bothers you. read more

Chuan Yu Hot Pot - a variety of food on a table - Hot Pot Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

AYCE hot pot. Chuan Yu is fairly hidden off of Peachtree Industrial Blvd. We had known about this place from a mutual friend that visited recently. They have lunch specials from Tuesday - Friday for $12.99. AYCE prices for Tuesday - Sunday at $24.99 per person. Ordering is straightforward. You mark off on a sheet of paper what you would like. They have a full sauce bar where you can make your own. There are four soup bases; Beef Bone, Spicy Oil (Choose your level), Mushroom, and Tomato. The hot pot is split in two so you can choose two broths. There are a variety of meats, vegetables, noodles, etc. Some rare items I haven't seen listed anywhere else is pig brains, beef aorta, duck tongue, goose webs, even blood curds for hot pot. We opted for Mushroom broth and Spicy Oil level 4. Our dining companions are used to Laos/Thai style level of spices and the level 4 was enjoyably spicy for them. Space was clean, tables were spacious. Truly a hidden mom/pop establishment. I hope they make it! read more

Poor service ever. don't ever come here. Beef is just all full of fat. The owner lady working there is just so rude and ignores you the whole time you are there. She should go hire a server if she is not in a mood to work or something. Go to other hotpot places in town. read more

Overall not too bad of an experience but nothing compares to the hot pot places on Pleasant Hill / Atlanta. The sauce is ok, we were sat near the windows blinds look a little moldy. I order a level 2 spice with my husband but mine was 3x hotter/more red. Good portion beef but service was slow, for an all you can eat place we didn't even get any refills so it shouldn't be considered all you can eat since the server has to refill all the stuff and you never see her. We had to wait a long time before even finding her to pay, could've just left and she wouldn't have noticed because there's only one waitress handling 5 tables and she was gone for 10minutes?...I think she hides so people don't order more but it's an all you can eat for $31/per person. This place is a waste of money, not too clean and service is 1 person who doesn't like to refill stuff at an all you can eat hot pot. read more

This is a hidden gem for hotpot lover. I heard about this place from my friends years ago, but never had a chance to stop by. The restaurant itself is smaller in size compared to other hotpot places in Duluth. When we came in, it was around 8:30 PM already. They closed at 10:00 PM, so we only had 1.5 hours for our hotpot and it was pleasurable. Ordering and asking for drinks was kinda difficult since most of the servers over here are uncles and aunties with some English (they were very sweet). Food quality is chef kiss even!!! Good quality of meats, with limited veggies selection. Shrimp and fish pastes are must try! They are the best!!! They even gave free soft drinks if you pay with cash!!! $32/person was not that expensive at compare to other AYCE hotpot read more

Heard many good things and lots of recommendations from friends so we decided to have dinner here on a cold rainy day last week. We love the home feeling that we received from this place and the people that works here are amazing. Don't expect A1 services from young people when you're here; they're all lovely old mom and dad working to support their families and they don't really talk to you, but Jesus lord they'll give you anything you need. I was here with hubby again this week to grab some dinner bc of the impeccable experience we had the week before. I heard people complaining about the prices here which is absurd. Everything goes up now and you have to support small businesses. Until next time!!! Peace read more
