Great place to try hot pot, but it kind of depends on what you're looking for. If it's a group setting, I wouldn't advise coming here unless everyone KNOWS they want their own hot pot. I've shared one hot pot here with another person where its awkwardly in favor of someone else and it just doesn't work right...although the amount of broth you get would suffice for a party of two. Their set up can be confusing (note: noodles are free if you're eating in house), but I do like that you can just mark things off on the erasable menu if you choose a la carte -- which I suggest because I don't like everything that comes on the platter. I usually get the Szeuchwan broth that comes packing with heat and flavor, but I do get annoyed by all the chili flakes floating or the whole peppercorns. I try to mitigate these problems by eating out of a smaller bowl and ladling out as little chili flakes. They have a variety of sauces and other additional items (ie. garlic, cilantro, etc). So this last time I went, I could've sat here for hours eating out of the hot pot bowl. I felt rushed at one point though (and it wasn't busy) when they started clearing dishes from our table. I'm still trying to find a time to come here for the spicy pork bowl. I wish it was available during all hours. read more

Friendly owner and nice selection of proteins and vegetables. We visited during a less busy time and the owner was kind enough to walk us through self serve options and the rest of the menu. Nice seating options with both hot pot and regular seating. Ample parking available at the front. Overall a good experience. read more

Foods: They have a good amount of soup base options to choose from. We tried sichuan and kimchi soup bases, and they were good! 1 pot has plenty of soup base to last till the end. We preferred choosing our own add-ons to their pre-set options. They had fewer sauce options than where we had tried before, but enough for you to make good dipping sauce. Service: nice and friendly. They checked on customers quite often. Ambiance: we liked the set up and overall layout read more

This restaurant has an impressive menu. We ordered a sweat-and- sour fish and pickled vegetable lamb pot. Both tasted great. The service was a bit disappointing at the beginning because no one brought us a menu or utensils, but was good later BCR we got their attention. The ambiance was typical of a small restaurant: comfortable and clean. Will go back to try different dishes. read more

Very nice hot pot restaurant, they do a great job here with options and organization. If you're new or experienced with hot pot this a a great option for you as this is their main thing. If you are new, you pick your broth, sauces, and ingredients then cook it in the broth at your table. There are stove tops where you sit, your sever will detail you on what you need to do. Watch a few videos if you still need clarity. The spicy broth was excellent, they balanced it correctly compared to some bad that I've had in the past. As I mentioned this place is very organized and everything was very laid out so you can have the best dining experience possible. I would definitely go back again. read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

We tried multiple vegetarian dishes. Udon noodles, fried tofu were our favorites. A great spot to enjoy some flavorful, authentic Chinese food. We had great service and the food came out quickly. Love all the "free" sauces and veggies for the hot pot. read more

Still the best hot pot we've had. We live over an hour away and we love this place. We've had others and nothing compares to it. Everything is delicious including the dipping sauce you have to make yourself. Everything is very reasonable. You get to pick your own personal size hot pot soup so you get what you yourself like. You don't have to share. They have everything from meat to seafood. Seafood that we always get comes with octopus, fish, clams, mussels,, shrimp, scallops and a plateful of veggies with a corn, and a ham. They also of course feee eat all you can clear and yellow noodles. We also ordered their yang chow fried rice, salt and pepper shrimp and additional raw beef for the hot pot. Yes, we were super satisfied. Can't wait to go back. read more

Yup. It's worth all the hype. We drive in from Milwaukee to experience the hot pot. Reasonable prices, huge portions of meat, fish and vegetables. Definitely encourage everyone to experience this. read more

This place hits the spot if you're looking for something comforting! I don't think there are many other hot pot places in the area, which is partly why this received a high rating from me. The servers are very pleasant and there's a pretty good variety of ingredients. It does get expensive pretty quickly and it ended up about $35 per person. It's not AYCE, sadly :( There's a buffet that has a few noodle options & sauces which are included in the cost of the meal, but the bar seemed a little dirty so I skipped out on that. They also serve other authentic entrees, which is great for groups who have a few people who aren't hot pot fans. Overall, really great spot in the Madison area - but there are more affordable and higher quality AYCE hot pot places closer to Chicago if you're willing to make a trip out there! read more

Came into this little restaurant for lunch and was not disappointed. Don't thrown off by the outside of this restaurant; although the outside gave me a skeptical first thought, inside was a hidden gem. I ordered the mushroom broth during lunch hours which came with a plate of mixed vegetables and about 6-7 slices of beef for about $12. In the back of the restaurant theres a station with a variety of different sauces to pair with your meal, along with both unlimited egg and rice noodles. The mixed vegetable plate came with cabbage, corn, rice cakes, enoki mushrooms, lotus root, sausage, and a lot of other things. I loved the variety. The beef was thinly sliced and was not at all chewy. In addition to the hot pot, I ordered the bubble milk tea (~$4). The tea itself was very good with an authentic tea flavor, and just the right amount of sweetness; though, I did feel like more bubbles could have been added and the bubbles were of the harder side. All in all, I am so happy I tried this place because I always drove by it. An authentic experience with great food, at a decent price. Any one who hasn't tried hot pot should take a chance here! read more

Seriously a fantastic meal!!!! Portions were great. For me meat quality was great lots and lots of fresh veggies. Both the spicy broth and the veggie broth were fantastic! And the sauce station had lots of options. The service was lovely. Kind and attentive. We came about 7:30/8 pm they closed about 9:30 I believe. We finished eating and had to wait for our Lyft. We never felt rushed or pushed out. Really wonderful dinner. read more

Great service, good amount of food for the quality, enjoy the free noodles and potatoes as well.

Fabulous hot pot meal! The diy dipping sauce station was amazing...I can't wait to go back. My Husband wore a white shirt and ordered the Szechuan/orange broth. Things did not turn out so well did the shirt! read more

My friend and I wanted to try something new so we decided hot pot would be a good option. We shared an entree for beef and there was an extra $7.99 charge for sharing. We got the thai and the kimchi broth along with sides of vegetables, ricecakes. Since it was our first time the staff was really kind to help us with the menu and our waitress was as kind to make a sauce for me at the sauce bar. When the food arrived, they told us how long to cook each thing for. And wow! It was amazing! I definitely have to come back. The beef melted in my mouth and everything came together perfectly. Free noodles and potatoes! All together it was $40! Such a great deal. Service was really good, always had water. Came by to refill the hot pot with hot water. It was an amazing experience and I definitely have to come back here again! I can't stop thinking about the beef. Really quality and authentic food for a reasonable price. Will be coming back! So filling and delectable. read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

For the dinner mini hot pot, you can choose your own soup with meat. There are also other food items to order that you can add it up to your hot pot (seafood!). The restaurant is very comfy, and you get your own mini pot, instead of having to share a big pot with the whole table. Staff are friendly, and service is fast. Nice place to enjoy a nice dinner during the cold weather! read more

We decided to try Double 10 Mini Hot Pot for an early dinner this past weekend. We had heard good things about Double 10 so were excited to visit. I was pleased that it exceeded all my expectations. The location is in a strip mall on Park Street. Once inside, the restaurant is open, airy, and pretty plain. We were greeted immediately, welcomed, ushered to a table, and asked if we had had Hot Pot previously. Although my partner and I have, my sister and her husband had not. Our hostess explained how to order and said they would walk us through it when ready. We all ordered a combination platter and selected our protein and broth. There were I think around ten broths to choose from. Our hostess checked with each of us to see what spiciness level we wanted. While our plates were being prepared, we checked out the sauce bar. It includes various prepared sauces as well as ingredients like garlic, cilantro, and chilis which you can add to each sauce. Valuable to us, it included a recipe for a dipping sauce which was fantastic! Coming up with my own sauce was daunting. Following the recipe to make this delicious sauce was awesome. There were also eggs, noodles, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice noodles which you could add to your hot-pot. Strainers were available which you could use to help lift your food out of your hot-pot. Soon our hot-pots were delivered to our table. Each person has their own hot-pot and burner. Our host set our hot-pots to heat, explained what each ingredient in our combination plate was and offered tips on how long to cook each item. The ingredients were all fresh and plentiful. The flavor in my szechwan broth was delicious and the perfect spice level. (I drank quite a bit of the broth when I was done w/my meal.) As I mentioned before the dipping sauce was outstanding.The noodles were hard to pull out of the broth and I didn't care for my partner's coconut broth which I found bland, but other than that is was a fun and delicious meal. I've been to other hot-pot restaurants and the service and quality of this experience really set it apart. Our host and hostess checked up on us multiple times, they explained what to do and answered questions and made suggestions. Everything we needed was there. This was a great experience and I can't wait to go back and do it again. read more

Lovely staff and good environment. Besides the famous mini Hotpot here(a lot of people already recommend before). You could also order Chinese dishes and some traditional Chinese entrees. Lunch special M-F is a great deal. You will have two dishes(usually one meat and one vegetable) rice and tea egg cost $10.00 before tax and tip. The dishes are more likely homemade styles instead of the too salty and oil Chinese food in other restaurants. The dumplings here are homemade style instead of frozen ones in some restaurant. Beef roll cake is a nice option as well. I highly recommend that you try the Chinese Chives pie or Chinese leek box though you maybe need to wait a little longer time after ordering. But they are very yummy. Also availability about that depends on the leek. Also I highly suggest you try the northeast pork bones, tofu sheets with hot peppers and hot spicy beef tendon! read more

Loved this place. I sat at Double 10 with a couple of colleagues over a long business lunch. The experience of hot pot was so fun (new to me) and everything was delicious. You can eat a LOT of food here. Strongly recommend! read more

This has become my favorite Chinese food in Madison. They have very authentic dishes and Americanized dishes as well that are all very good! I personally love their eggplant dishes!!! They also have hot pot cooking at the table. It's kind of like fondue cooking at your table sans cheese. I can't wait to go back soon! read more

DON'T go to this restaurant, it is a waste of time and your money. The hot pot only people who never had it will say good things about it. You paid $7 for water as your hot pot. Hot pot should consider a good broth to cook the food. This 10 something restaurant will give you water and all you can mix soy sauce. Who gives them 3 stars or above?! I wonder did they went to a wrong restaurant or they knew the owner. read more

One star for decent food. Customer service is terrible and tap water they provided had stuff floating around in it. Got our order wrong multiple times and at the end we had to re verify our order on the receipt with them. read more

I love love love this place it's my favorite I go so much I no the owners now Max is cool and always very nice and supportive. Fast yummy and great customer service!! read more

Staff is super friendly and hotpot is really perfect for the cold weather! It was nice to have individual heaters/pots so you can choose your own broth and spice level. No complaints on the broth/food. Its good for Madison, but doesn't compare to the real deal. Although the set courses on the menu are nice and give you a taste of everything, you have to look on your plate and the menu picture/description to make you're getting everything you're supposed to. With a group of 6 who ordered essentially all the same dishes, each one came with something missing so just keep an eye out for it. read more

This place is always a winner in my book! We've tried the hot pot and Chinese food and loved both. Huge portions with hotpot though we have noticed recently that the sides with the meats seem scant compared to previous visits. The Chinese menu is amazing and honestly best crab Rangoon in town. read more

Excellent Chinese food and they are not afraid to make it spicy. Goes beyond the bland somewhat dumbed down American style of Chinese food. Highly recommended. read more

This place is the bomb, and I'm Asian. Why this is a good place to try hotpot if you are a first timer or non-Asian: 1. You don't have to deal with the gross idea of sharing a single pot with a table and everyone sticking their germs into your hotpot. 2. And you don't have to have conflicts with what flavored soup to get when sharing. Everyone gets their own! 3. The menu is simple and pretty American-friendly. They don't give you weird Asian ingredients like livers/intestines, so you can order freely without worrying about eating something you are uncomfortable with 4. There's a salad bar at the back where you can get noodles and basic veggies! Awesome, places often charge for that. read more

This is my go-to place for a pick me up. I always either choose the seafood or just fish fillet option for meat and the Szechwan spicy broth. (That's it) - There are free options for noodles, sauces, and some veggies. I recommend to put potatoes in there, it soaks up the broth so well! They bring a plate of more things to put in along with your choice of meat - corn, bok choy, tofu, other various seafoods and more. Don't worry if you finish your broth quickly, they offer to add more water to it once you're running low! The staff is super sweet, there's never been a wait for us on the weekend for lunch and it's super unique to have in the Madison community. I highly recommend checking Double 10 Mini Hot Pot out! read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

This is the best hotpot I've ever had. Came for dinner during a college visit. We had Szechuan hotpot. Just delicious. There's a self serve bar with an incredible array of noodles - glass and wheat - sauces, condiments (fresh chives and chopped garlic etc) yams potatoes can't list it all. Broth out of this world. Yes please. read more

This place is little gem. My husband and son had recently been to hot pot restaurants in Seattle and San Francisco and this definitely rates right up there. They have lots of choices for broth, meat, etc. and the dipping sauce was a great addition to everything. It was reasonably priced too. We will definitely go back. read more

I grew up eating hot pot celebrating Chinese holidays. But, eating hot pot is THE best during cold weather. I have never taken the time to get all of the ingredients to do this at home. Why? I'm too lazy to go and get the meat sliced thinly. That's why I come here! All of the vegetables are fresh, the meats are nice and thinly sliced, and there are lots of choices for broth! I highly recommend choosing your own "dishes" instead of choosing their dish bundles. I will recommend the bundles if you are an adventurous eater. The bundle can come with fish balls and other items you may have no interest in. My favorite is the Korean Kim Chee broth. It's spicy but not overly spicy. I order beef, puff tofu, enoki mushroom, and spinach. YUM. Just thinking about it is making me drool. Tofu puffs are cubes of spongy tofu (not the white kind you're used to). They take a while to cook, so I normally plop them in and let them soak. If you've never had hot pot before, not to worry. Just have fun with your food. Once you mark up what you want, go to the sauce booth. They have a recommended sauce and give your ingredients to make it. Just give it a try. While you're up there grab a slotted spoon to help you get the food you're cooking out of the pot. The staff is nice and can speak Mandarin and English. I highly recommend going. If you're new to it, just let them know. They'll help you out! If you don't feel like hot pot. That's ok! They have a normal menu you can order from too! read more

We love hot pot and went here to celebrate our new house. The server was probably the owner and she tried. At least she was very pleasant. The food was OK, a mixed bag, but pretty good overall. I thought it was a little expensive for what we received. The spicy broth had a somewhat greasy element to it which was a little offputting. We literally had only one piece of several of the items. The salad bar that was accompanying it was also a little lacking. This place was OK, but we've had much better. I hope they improve their offerings and make a go of it, but we'll try some place else next time. read more

We visited on a Saturday night when the place was hopping. Clearly it's well-liked. Basically, youre cooking your own dinner but without the hassle and prep. You sit at a table equipped with hot plates and heat your choice of broth with your choice of meat and add.the.combo of vegetables, noodles and.other items as you like. The folks working were very helpful and kind, explaining how to.order, how to cook, and how to make our own sauce. They made us feel very welcome. The seafood combo was truly a combo of seafood: shrimp, cuttlefish, two kinds of mussels, squid, etc. The lamb was thinly sliced and tasty. My friend got snow crab, which was still in the claw and tasted delicious in the broth. I highly recommend this restaurant and experience. read more

Update - -5/30/17--prices are up for lunch to $13.95. Serving sizes have shrunken noticeably. There seems to have been a chef or ownership change as well. My Szechuan hot pot broth was not up to par and service was a little abrupt. New faces. Five prior Yelp stars. Alas, now, three. If I was new to it, I would not make a trip or detour off of the road to stop here. But I will return at least for another visit or two out of my strong feelings of loyalty. But I am starting to consider looking elsewhere for a new love, fickle as I am. I deeply regret that I can no longer strongly recommend for other than a novelty or to reminisce. read more

Outstanding selection of ingredients, reasonable prices, and helpful servers make Double 10 one of my Madison favorites. If you're looking for a hot pot for one person, this is the place for you! read more

Great find. Our waitress I'm guessing own was very friendly and helpful. You get tons of food for the price. For my boyfriend and I it was around 50$ but we felt like it was worth it (which hardly happens). Fun experience and will be back. I had the kimichi broth which is a bit spicy, and beef with shrimp. The shrimp are huge, and you get a pile of beef and some veggies. Next time I may try the mushroom broth and just get a double order of the shrimp. read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Made reservation for a party of 10. Table was ready on time, service very prompt. Very cool menu with clearly marked ordering steps. Large selection of proteins and accompanying side dish has lots of other stuff to cook. We all got different kinds of brotha and made custom dipping sauces. 5 stars across the board: excellent for groups like separating bills, handling the chaos of 10 different orders and delivering quickly. 5 stars for service, 5 stars for price (about $16 each), 5 stars for attentive service that included frequent refilling of water, 5 stars for yummy sauces and overall meal. 3 stars for the restaurant aesthetics ... Just a sparsely decorated room with a bunch of tables that include individual built in hit plates (Very cool). The bathrooms are located down a long corroded that runs behind all of the restaurants. I would give the bathrooms a 2. I came for hot pot, and it delivered, and hence the 5 stars. Our college kids will be coming back for the cheaper lunch menu. We all agreed we would visit again. read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - The menu, erasable pens included. Very clever. We assigned each group a letter that was written on the menu so the bills would be correct. - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I waver between three and four stars. I love coming here when I crave hot pot. However, the prices here are way more than it is in New York... Although, I guess hot pot is more of a rarity here in the Midwest, so the markup in price is somewhat understandable. It's a fun activity if you haven't done it before! I do not recommend ordering additional noodles, as in the different kinds of noodles they offer on their menu. They give you a negligible amount, and there's already vermicelli in the buffet station. For soup base, I think I got the Thai coconut one. It was rather bland. And of course, when they offer to put more broth, it tastes even more bland. Oh yes, I do like that Double 10 has merged with Mini Hot Pot. Double 10 was my favorite Chinese place in Madison, and I was so bummed when they closed their other location. I got the eggplant in garlic sauce, I loved it and it tasted as it did back at their old location. read more

Two words: Love it. Don't be fooled by the looks for there's not much of an interior design. However, the service is warm, generous and attentive. It outshines its fondue/shabu shabu competitors by allowing each diner his own mini-pot and a buffet selection to make your own sauces. You'll never grudge over compromising your selection of broth or meat out of consideration for your dining partner(s). This format also helps to eliminate cross contamination and flavor mixes. I, for one, cannot stand lamb, so the awkwardness surrounding lamb when ordering in group settings has always been exhausting. They have the solution! You may order combination platter or a la cart. The combination platter comes with your choice of protein, then veggies and assortment of treats as sides. This option is priced at $11.95 and $15.95 for lunch and dinner, respectively. A variety of cooking broth styles is also included in the price. Please see the attached picture. A la cart prices range from $1.95 to $4.95. My suggestion is to go with the combination platter, since it comes with a lot of the a la cart stuff. There's also a small buffet which comprises a plethora of spices and sauces for you to mix and match, as well as extra noodles, veggies and proteins at no additional cost. Overall, I think this concept is clever, unique and fun. The service is always warm and inviting; the food is extremely satisfying, and i sincerely hope that they do well. read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - I ordered the pork combination platter with mushroom broth. - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I don't know how I haven't reviewed here yet! This is the ONLY PLACE I go to for Asian food. They never screw up my order, the staff is so friendly. It's very clean inside and due to COVID, they have partitions. My former roommate and I used to go here once a week, as it really is the best in Madison. Holed up in a tiny little shopping center where most of the stores have closed, it doesn't look like much on the outside. I promise you-go and visit and see for yourself how amazing this place is! They have coke products as well as your standard fare offered at Asian places. All delicious and prepared perfectly. read more
