Denver Hot Pot is a great little spot if you're craving hot pot or Korean BBQ. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly throughout our meal. The only downside is that the tables and dining area are on the smaller side. Since the sauce bar is self-serve but you have to order your vegetables and sides separately, our table filled up quickly with everything needed for our party of four. It made things feel a bit cramped. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were all great, and I'd definitely come back. Just be prepared for a cozy dining experience if you're with a larger group. read more

So my viet boyfriend is against eating hot pot out because its so good at home. This place changed his mind because they have pho broth unlike most places, and because all of our broths were very well made. Super fun place to go with a group of friends. We made a reservation. If you get the szechwan pepper broth or the denver broth, be prepared for that numbing feeling the peppers can give to you. Also make sure to check spice levels if you are sensitive. The ingredients come out fresh and plentiful for a good price and you can get icecream after which is such a nice balance. I enjoyed trying the pumpkin in my broth, and I liked making my own sauce but ordering the veggies and meats instead of getting up to refill them like most other hot pot places. Only food critique is that the oysters are extremely fishy so do not get them. Like really... dont get them. Service is great, they do not hover. Make sure you know what you want. The restaurant is kept clean and organized - you pay at the front when you are finished. Right by the costco business parking lot and Great Wall so if you need to get some groceries after this is great! read more

Denver Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Hot Pot is a classic, authentic Denver cuisine that has been around for hundreds of years. The chefs here expertly prepare a bowl of hot liquid, then supply the finest ingredients for you to cook in the liquid. When I'm at Denver Hot Pot, it's safe to say "soups on!" read more

Decent hotpot restaurant. The seating area a big and clean. A few TVs playing several stations, so you can watch it if that's your thing. Service was really good. The waiter was really nice and tried to get our requested items fast. Personally, I didn't like the broth. I had the pork bone broth and it came seasoned, after I got my sauce ready to prepare the broth. On top of that, the food tasted sweet and oily. I thought it was the meats and my sauce but I didn't use any sugar. It has to be in the broth. My wife got the seafood broth but she asked for i different one, because it was too spicy. She went after the seafood selection and enjoyed the crab, prawns, and clams. She was chowing down, once the broth wasnt spicy. Don't forget the grab the ice cream at the end. Overall, for the price, I would've gone to a different hotpot restaurant. Towards the end everything was too sweet and oily. read more

I haven't been here in awhile and I think it's a great spot for when I don't want to drive all the way to Aurora for hot pot! I got the beef broth and decided to add my own seasoning to my pot. They have a great variety of seafood, vegetables, meat, and more. Service was good and overall it was a great experience! I definitely have to come here more and I honestly forgot that there was a little hot pot spot in this shopping center. read more

Denver Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Service is fast. Nothing spectacular but ok. Decor is pretty Broths are all amazing their chili oil is also great. One of the smallest selections for veggies for hot pot I have come across. When you order KBBQ no banchan are brought out. We asked for rice and never got it. For both it's better to go elsewhere. The price is high here and the quality isn't worth it. Mr Kim's is my favorite for KBBQ and next door to them is an amazing hot pot place. read more

My coworker, Bill, introduced me to this place and it is DELICIOUS. A great variety of veggies, seafood and meat. I will be back for more shrimp, crab, clams and mussels. read more

Denver Hot Pot & BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Food was so good, as well as portion sizes. We never got our spring rolls, which I think come with what we ordered, and we had to ask for the rice that was supposed to come as well. But the food was excellent and I loved concocting my own sauces! read more

Another hot pot location! Let's give it a try! Big parking lot, it's shared with all surrounding businesses and that includes Great Wall Supermarket and Costco so plan accordingly. When you first walk-in you have the option of doing hot pot only or hot pot and kbbq. We had a party of 6 so we did get seated at a table that does hot pot and kbbq. The staff was not very attentive. It took about 15mins before we decided to wave them down just to take our order. When the broths did arrive they accidentally brought me the incorrect one. I told them what I ordered and he said he would be right back. The rest of the food started to arrive and still no broth... after 20 minutes we looked around and flagged down another waiter. Told him I was waiting on a broth and it was brought out within minutes. The overall flavor of the broth was ok. Nothing special. The meat, sea food, and veggie options were lacking in my opinion for the price. A lot of options were standard to all hot pot places so I was a little baffled by the price being so high. Their sauce station was pretty cool. They have small ladles to help get the food out of the soup and plenty of sauce options. Overall not the best experience and the price is a little too much. read more

The place is mid. Have other places better if you look around. Food was mehhh. Service was sub par, workers seem not too happy to work. Place seems neat and clean though. But there's definitely a lot of places in Denver for hotpot or bbq that is better, especially for the price. I'm giving it 3 stars. I think 3 is generous.. try it and find out yourself. First time going.. I say try it before knocking it I guess. This was just my first impression.. I don't think I'll be back though. read more

Was hoping this place was going to be pretty good but realistically I would only come back for the hotpot. Came in, checked into the machine that they have and waited a few minutes before being seated. Not too long of a wait for 6/7pm! Service was okay, you have a call button but usually have to push it a second time since you will not get a response sometimes. You go up make your sauce and grab utensils! Food was decent from the broth, KBBQ dipping sauce, and quality of ingredients read more

Denver Hot Pot & BBQ - From left to right Denver hot pot broth, Tom yum broth, pork broth and goat broth. - Hot Pot Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A lot to like and a lot of opportunities for improvement. First, they have a pho broth for hot pot. They have a good sauce bar with a black bean chili paste that I like. There were also some fried items like egg rolls and chicken wings included, but I didn't try that. You can do both hot pot and bbq for $5 extra. The selection was pretty good with everything you'd expect at hot pot bbq spots. Quality was mostly good. Being a new spot, they have some kinks to work out. The ventilation was pretty bad. You and your clothes will definitely smell like hot pot when you leave. The floors were super slippery from the steam and oils, and was visibly dirty. They have you order on a sheet, with reference to a picture menu, but the items aren't the same. They didn't bring out items we ordered on the sheet, and when putting in a second round of orders, they just took it verbally and also got those items wrong. Location is good with plenty of parking, right by the Costco business center. read more

We came here during their opening and they're quite busy. The staff is doing their best to keep up with each table. In our group, we had around eight people and we did the bbq and hotpot special. This is viet inspired so don't expect like a traditional kbbq experience. For hot pot, I ordered the beef bone broth and it was quite tasty. It tastes just pho broth. We were confused at first because it came with dates but it's not the herbal selection. When you start cooking things into your hotpot, the broth becomes very tasty. They provide a nice selection of variety: meat, seafood, veggies, noodles. They do not tell you how much comes with one serving so ask. It comes with a ton of veggies. They might've assumed 1 cabbage was for our entire party. The bbq was delicious too. You have lots to choose from. I didn't see a limit on galbi which is different from every AYCE kbbq place in Colorado. We got everything and it was a lot of food. 2 hours is plenty of time. read more

Ok. Wasn't expecting much from this place since it's hot pot and bbq all you can eat. I'm like no way can this place offer a good variety. Boy was I wrong. The servers don't really tell you how to turn on the grill or the hot plates but that's ok. They also don't communicate that there are silverware, different sauces, and toppings at a nearby table. We figured it out while looking around. Once we got our order I was floored. They really need to put what each order's serving size is (ie clams. Print out "8 mini clams is an order"). We got so much food cause we didn't know how big an order of each item was. The bbq meat was so flavorful and spicy. Delicious. For the hot pot they had Japanese squash, FULL mini crab, etc. great selection. The broth choices were plentiful. For the all you can eat price it's definitely worth it. Can't wait to go back read more

we came here after our usual spot was closed one day, and we've been here twice now and it's so good. the broths are better. the meats feel better quality. the servers are very friendly and attentive. everything seems clean including the bathrooms. my only complaints are just personal preference (i hate cilantro but love the pork bone broth and i wish they had broccoli available)! read more

Friday night 6pm. Staff were sitting outside having cigarettes and coffee. It was empty with only one table. But we are hungry so decide to try it. AYCE hot pot only for both of us. There were out of crab and clam. I had the spice and wife had the bone broth. The broth was pretty good. There are many side dressing for you to mix. But I wish they put it higher since when you grab the sauce your face is directly over it. Meat was ok but the beef tasted weird after you boil it. The shrimp was fresh but the small clam looks like it has been sitting around for a while since all of it is wide open. One of the waiter his English wasn't the best so he got confuse a few time when we ask for thing. Overall is a nice place but is just too far from us. read more

Came here on a busy Sunday, highly recommend making a reservation if you have larger parties. They also didn't charge dinner pricing all weekend which was refreshing for a AYCE restaurant. Amazing service, fresh food and clean restaurant. Great pricing. Def check out their beef pho broth as it comes with chunks of pho stew beef. Will be back again! read more

Heard mixed reviews about this new hotpot so I had to try it for myself. If you don't come early, the Wiat is insane. Let's start off with the service, this is something then need to focus on esp when it's busy. If you don't wave down servers or for any help they will ignore you. They just take your order, don't answer questions or tell you there's an area where they have wings and potstickers that is self serve. I didn't try because one I didn't know and two Inever saw them fill it up so I'm not sure how long they been sitting in the food warmer. Another miscommunication is we had no idea the spoons, chopsticks, utensils, plates bowls are also self serve. Everything is right by the sauces you make yourself. Which is great they have a lot great choices to create your own sauce, but the bottles need labeling. But this should help with service and be able to attend to their guest more since we have to get everything but the food ourself. There is also a button at the table to call for the server and that does not work. When you first enter the restaurant, I loved that there's a double door to help keep the cold air out of your sat near the door, but I wonder if it'll get too hot in the summer time. Love the big tv they have, I would say if they get more tvs that would be the difference between this hotpot and the others. Being able to watch sports while eating is the main question we ask if there is a big game on. For all you can eat for their price it is worth it. If you upgrade for Korean bbq it's an additional $5 doallars. We moved to try it and honestly it was not worth it. The Korean bbq was not good. Very disappointing- meat had no flavors, very bland. For 5 extra, it's okay but I would just focus on the hotpot. They have a lot more choice with the broths- so I do need to come back and try them out and see what I like best. They do have a bar but they need better tequila choices! read more

I came here during their grand opening with a group of 8. It was wonderful. This place is perfect for big parties. The choices are endless! There is something for everyone. The service was fast and friendly. I love the sauce bar. You definitely need to do research to see how to make delicious sauces and how to make your broth more flavorful unless you go with someone who is familiar with hot pot. The KBBQ was okay but the hot pot is definitely worth it! read more

We were excited when this place opened up because bbq and hot pot are our two fav things! We came hungry and hopeful since this place is AYCE. (All you can eat) and while it's a great concept, I feel like some things definitely missed the mark. Once you come in, there's a large touch screen where you can input your number to get on the waiting list if there's a crowd, luckily we came before the rush so we were seated pretty instantly. We were each handed paper sheets to order from, which is common for hot pot places like this and made our selections. They also had picture menus which was helpful too! The two areas that fell short were really the food and the service. While they had a messy sauce bar, it still had a great selection of stuff to make your sauces with! However, every time we ordered stuff we would typically get random items that we didn't order even if we filled it out on the paper and some of our items didn't arrive. The quality of the selections were also just okay, nothing really that stood out compared to other AYCE hot pot or bbq places and honestly, I would opt out of choosing to pay additional to try the BBQ because it wasn't anything special and were mostly similar items to the hotpot. The broths for the hotpot selections were all too sweet as well. The service was just honestly lacking because we wouldn't get stuff we asked for and just get completely random items sometimes and when we were done with the meal we told our waitress we were ready for the check, and she said ok but completely ignored us so we had to ask someone else after waiting for a while. We never got water either and had to flag someone down to just bring some waters. So while I love the concept of AYCE hotpot and bbq together, there just wasn't anything worth coming back for. read more

Delicious food and very reasonable price! Many delicious and high quality options. Will definitely be coming back!

The food and service here was great. We got everything we asked for and I love that there are vents for the kbbq. They don't skimp on the meats which is essential for AYCE! The sauce bar is easily accessible and I don't know how people are complaining cause it's like that for many hot pot places lol Overall I would definitely come back here for the delicious food and friendly folks read more

We swung by here on a whim after a Costco run, and it was a great decision! The host greeted us right away, and we got seated super quickly. We just went for the hot pot, and there were tons of broths and sides to choose from. We picked the Tom Yum and Denver Hot Pot broths--both were tasty, but the Tom Yum was especially flavorful. Everything came out fast, and the portions were bigger than most AYCE spots. The sauce bar had everything you could want to mix up your own creations, and the place itself was spacious and super clean. Would we come back? Definitely! read more

My favorite spot now for hotpot! I've opted for the hotpot dinner meanwhile my boyfriend opted for both hotpot and bbq. The bbq IMO wasn't the greatest as the portions are served small and the service is snail speed slow. Highly recommend ordering everything upfront so that you don't have big time gaps in cooking/eating your food. As for the hotpot, the tomato broth is delicious, sounds kind of strange to get a tomato broth for hotpot but it slaps! The quality of hotpot meat, seafood, and vegetable are also fresh! Save your monies in paying for both hotpot and bbq instead go for the hotpot option only! read more

We arrived early because it was during the Christmas period and assumed there would otherwise be a wait. Which was fantastic, as we noticed upon leaving. A completely different dining experience.One chooses their soup or base liquid to cook the ingredients in. The soup base changes as you cook different ingredients. Lots of options were available. The service was very good and the waiter answered any questions about the process. It was sort of like a fondue-style experience, but one boiled the raw food in the broth.Ambiance was okay. The set up was efficient. One could find a variety of sauces and spices at a buffet-style table. read more

Super great prices, plus you can do hot pot and BBQ at the same time. The interior is nice and we were never without meat. The service is good. They don't have as many options as some other hotpot and bbq places but their prices are super fair so it makes it worth it. read more

Meh. Service is so slow & not great, I shouldn't have to flag anyone down constantly. The chicken wings in the warmer were gross and cold. The soups for the hot pot have a ton of stuff in them already for example the seafood one has clams, fish balls, lobster balls, mussels which have been in the soup for who knows how long. Tables are community table so you're sitting next to people which is fine but since the wait staff doesn't come to pick up my waste plates, those are spilling over into the seats next to me. Won't be back wasn't worth it. Food was not great either. read more

Denver Hot Pot is under new ownership, so we decided to give it a try today. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and the broth. Just a heads up: it's a AYCE but don't order all that you can eat or the manager might give you dirty looks sitting from the booth just outside the kitchen! read more

Hot pot and BBQ is a great combo but the BBQ quality is really bad here. Would happily pay more to get some better meat. The hot pot is pretty good though and I like the sauce bar. read more

Wow. This is such a nice change for hotpot as it edges towards a Vietnamese flavor profile. They offer interesting broth choices like Pork Bone Broth, Beef bone, and dark chicken. We opted for the pork bone broth and Tom yum. Both were excellent and fragrant. The bone broth tastes like Hu Tieu Broth, which was very comforting. The seafood and meats are fresh and flavorful. The management is so nice! Come give it a try! P.S Mike is the best! He's the fellow with the glasses and spikey hair. Super nice and friendly! read more

Ok, so ive come here about three times once with a close friend the second with a big group and third tonight on my own. Only when i come here with a big group do i notice a change in pace of service. The workers are all great and friendly, but there seems to be too few staff to get anything out to your table or even take your order? From memory, their broth was not bad but not worth the long wait due to lack of staff at least front of house staff. read more

Great place, but their portion sizes were larger than other place so this place is better for a larger group vs 2 people.

Great food excellent service everyone in there was very kind and attentive. The hot pot was great. We wind up eating too much. We came for the hot pot, but stayed for the music! it was way more of a good time in there than we thought. I'll definitely be back. read more

WOW get the TUMYUM... amazing. That broth is the best one I've tried at any hot pot! This place is such a gem. We came in on Christmas night and were so delighted that it was open. I would 100% come again and order the same broth. This is a must for anyone who visits Denver. read more
