Tomato / Pig bone broth
Sera Y.

My group of 6 was able to get seated immediately at 1210 on a cold Saturday, but we definitly saw the place starting to get crowded round 1230-1. Overall I had a pretty good experience, they had a pretty good selection of items and quality of most of the items were pretty good. Taking a star off for a few things though: we ordered two portions of the steak rib eye, and for some reason one of the rib eyes was really thick + we wanted to cancel the seafood platter when it hadn't been brought out to us yet and were told we couldn't because nobody else was ordering it. I really enjoyed the tomato broth, and they had a good selection of sauces and fruits and a sweet desserty soup that you could help yourself to! Would definitely come back again

Decor!

My friend and I were craving Hot Pot and this was close to K-town. So, being experienced eaters in Flushing we were excited to see what K-Town would bring. Food: 3.5/5 I was honestly disappointed with menu. I was expecting duck tongue to be avaliable but it wasn't. I even had my friend (native Chinese) read the Chinese menu in case I missed it. But, it was not there. The veggie and meat selection were okay nothing particularly interesting. We ordered the pork knuckles, but there were not anything to write home about. Service : 5/5 Candidly, this is not a western restaurant. You order the food by yourself, you make your sauce by yourself, and you can call staff via the tablet. I am not disappointed by this at all. All in all, I am not sure if I would go back since I have had better Hot Pot in Flushing. But if I am stuck in Manhattan, maybe?

Love the decor here! Overall the hot pot was decent if you aren't trying to eat a lot of meat. We order a beef and a beef tongue, felt like meat quality was kinda mid. We liked the vegetables and the shrimp paste more. The spicy broth was super spicy even when it's mild You order your food through the iPad. Service here was good, we were able to get a server's attention pretty easily& and the server came around with help us with the shrimp paste and add more soup without us having to flag them down.

Real deal. Mango shaved ice. This is an amazing little hot pot joint in Koreatown. Order anything. Whatever suits your hot pot fancy. It's all awesome and perfect late night comfort food in New York. We went back as soon as they opened the next morning for another round of the mango snow ice. (Sounds strange but it made the perfect breakfast) The snowy, flaky goodness changed our lives and we've been on a journey since to find its equal.

Hot pot - chicken broth with coconut and seashells on the left and pork broth on the right.

First time for us to try a Chinese hot pot. The waitress was very nice and did provide great advices. You can get on top of the broth a lot of ads-on like beef, chicken, mushrooms, tofu etc... and you can add pasta to do a sort of ramen. The food had a lot of great flavors. Overall, this is a great place.

TLDR: If you are looking for spicy Sichuan style hot pot in the city, look no further than ER. Conveniently near Herald Square, pretty on par quality-wise with Flushing. Stopped in during the week for a work lunch. Tables were a bit tight but then again this is Midtown so not surprising. Ordering is done on an iPad as is customary nowadays. Went with the pork bone broth and the spicy broth. Both were flavorful, most meats were cooked in the spicy one and veggies in the pork bone. Fish was probably my favorite and quite reasonable at about $5 per order. All the other staple items were good, shrimp paste, tofu skin rolls, fish roe balls, etc. Extra points because they got aprons, so you can hot pot even in a suit!

Oy, $80 for a la carte hot pot for two people. This place is priiiiicey. But I guess it's what they need to do to stay afloat in Midtown Manhattan. Pro tip: Arrive at 5:30pm on a Monday night, and you won't have to wait. By 7:30pm, though, the place is packed. Best broth was the Pork Soup base, and the best items were the Handpulled Noodles. They need more leafy greens besides napa cabbage, lettuce and tong hua. Some bok choy, yu choy or Chinese broccoli would be great.

Megan H.

Thought the broths were okay, the spicy one was very oily and it was pretty pricey. I liked how you could just walk in and they had good sauce selection!

Liz R.

The restaurant is clean and has character. The food/meat/ vegetables are fresh. It has oranges and cantaloupe as side dishes. A lot of source/seasonings to choose from. Also, it has 2 types of Chinese sweet soups that free to eat. The service is great, the staff is very responsive and quick to help you.

After eating and removing scraps you can see how old + black the pots are

Not my favorite hot pot but suitable for midtown im sure because of the lack of competition. The hot pots are super old, burnt, and worn out (see photo), i believe these are called cancerous aluminum/stainless steel pots at this point. You would think they can afford to buy new pots

Excellent new hot pot location in ktown. Went early around 6pm to beat the dinner rush. There isn't a ton of seating so I could see it becoming difficult to get a table during rush hour. Portions are a little bit smaller than other hot pot places, but for us it works out since we aren't huge volume eaters, and it also works out to a much more reasonable price point. usually we're close to $200 but here the bill came out to ~120. I also noticed that the spicy hot pot soup was easier on my stomach, so i think they do a better job of preparing the sauce here. highly recommended!

ER Hot Pot has two midtown locations and is always busy! We joined the (Minitable) waitlist online, and our table was ready in around 45 minutes for Sunday dinner. I would recommend joining the waitlist before you plan on arriving. It is a more premium hot pot experience where you pay per item. The restaurant is hip with bright neon signs and clean with bins to store your belongings so they don't smell like hot pot. We opted for the two types of broth - pork leg bone and spicy. The spicy broth definitely had the mala/numbing flavor so be prepared (but maybe I'm a baby for spice). I found the broth to be rich and flavorful, while not too fatty. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, but it is pricier than other AYCE hot pot options in Manhattan Chinatown. Favorite ingredients were the Class A beef roll, taro, quail eggs, enoki mushrooms and handmade noodles (so chewy and delicious). They have some exotic dishes too like tripe, feet, pig ears, etc. For a party of four with some non-alcoholic beverages, the bill came out to ~$150 (~$38 pp) and we left incredibly full and satisfied. I would recommend ER Hot Pot if you are in Midtown looking for a more upscale hot pot experience without too long of a wait.

Ingredients are very fresh Service is great Decoration is modern and stylish Broth is very standard and nothing stands out BUT this place is just way too overpriced to justify... 3 of us spend more than $75 per person and we weren't even full afterwards... For this price, we could even go to Keen's steakhouse across from the street for a nice fine dining dinner

As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top.

The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
