AYCE hot pot in downtown Montreal. It's just a few minutes walk from the Lucille L'Allier station…read more People seem to be confused with the pricing. You have to pay the AYCE price per person + price for the soup base. So for two adults on weekday dinner, it was $33.95pp + $18.95 for half & half (2-flavor) broth. All you can drink (AYCD) option is an additional $3.95. This is in their menu, which is extensive and very very long. They should really print it out for each table rather than having it online. You have to scan the QR code at the table to access the menu. For making customers scan a QR code to access the menu, they should offer free WiFi. Veggies and meats are ordered through your server. There were a couple items I asked for but never came. Quality of meat in general was good. The tofu I got might have turned sour. I liked that they had lotus root, tofu skin, quail egg, and Napa cabbage. I also learned what is "chest deckle" because I was caught by surprise when the dish came out. There is a cat robot that delivers the dishes to your table! Other hot foods and desserts are self-served next to the sauce bar. The menu also lists how to make some popular sauces. Service is ok. You have to pay at the cashier in the back corner. I was here after 20:00 on a weeknight, and there was no wait. They had a promotion going on if the weather is greater than 28°C. You get a carafe of juice for the table as well as coupons for a free soup base for next visit (expires end of the month). Credit card/apple pay accepted No WiFi Bathroom available

It was an awesome deal considering it's located right in Quartier Chinois of Montreal! We came after a long walk near the old port, so we were hungry! This definitely satisfied our cravings! The selections were decent with very fresh ingredients. My favourites from our visit: HUGE Appetizer and Dessert Bar compared to other hot pot places - you won't ever get tired of waiting for your food to cook! I tried the chicken wings and it was so good! Garlic marinaded beef - soo tender and underrated! I like it better than the sliced beef you can order from your server. Shrimp Paste - freshly made although a bit on the salty side Unlimited soda fountain which reminded of buffets in Asia that are unbeatable

They have such a large variety of different Brocks different sauces for you to customize and get whatever you want out of your dining experience. It is a chain from China, but feels like a unique dining experience, especially in the Montreal area, where there may not be as many Chinese dining experiences. They have lots of interesting items that I've never seen before. Such as fish cakes that had mochi on the inside, have made meatballs of all different types, and also have some nice canned fruits and syrups and some dessert buttons for those that want a little bit of sweet bite

Hotpot Nine (Lao Jiu Men in Chinese) is replacing a Chinese restaurant that was previously there…read more This place is still in its soft opening, and so was offering 15% off. They are still figuring a few things out. For instance the vestiaire is not available for customers just yet (only staff), but it might be in the future (which would be amazing to avoid coats smelling like hot pot for the next 3 days). The place it not that big, but they managed to arrange quite a few tables in there. And it's already popular! It was pretty much full on both nights I was there. There are large and small pots. Large pots are shared between diners of a given table, as it is usually the case in China. Small pots (individual pots) give more freedom as to which base soup you want, although large pots allow a maximum of 3 different soups! The induction cookers were powerful, and the simple electronic pads at each table enabled to easily control boiling. There's quite a few base soups available. So far I tried the "traditional spicy soupe", "health mushroom soupe", "original bone soupe" and "nourishing health chicken soupe" (the English names might be a bit puzzling, but they were all tasty). The heat level of the spicy soup was also quite satisfying for us Sichuanese. It is all you can eat, at about 25$ per person. The base soup costs extra, and so do drinks and some select items (e.g. duck blood, beef tongue, etc.). The choice of food items if not the most diverse, but covers most essentials. The main attraction remains meat, in this case AA+ beef and lamb. The mashed shrimp (pureed shrimp that boils into a shimp meatball) was also very popular. Soups and food came fairly fast, and was very nicely displayed. Some items were forgotten on both of my visits, but it didn't affect the overall experience. There's two self-serve stations, one for ready to eats (spring rolls, fried fish (?), oranges, fried buns, etc.) and one for sauces. The sauce station had everything I needed, but was quite messy and in need of replenishing. I also wished the oil would be sesame oil instead of vegetable (?) oil. Ladles and strainers can be found on the shelf under the sauce station. Overall, the taste was excellent, and there was a lot of efforts and good attitude from the staff. The place was still a bit messy and chaotic, and the air was a bit stuffy, given all the steam that is produced. But then again, it's arguably part of an old school hot pot experience!

I enjoy Hotpot, but never have I been to an AYCE hotpot joint until I came here. Location is…read moreconvenient, right next to the Bay downtown that you can get here via public transport. The place is large with ample seating. No reservations needed. When I went, they still were under a soft opening so they were in the midst of still working out Reno's. The concept is simple, they give you a menu you pay around 40$ (with tax) for all you can eat meats, seafood, veggies. Quantity wise - they are pretty generous. They also offer a side buffet area where you can get unlimited egg rolls, fried chicken, seaweed salad and oranges. They didn't have an alcohol permit when I went but that may have changed. Authentic fun place, I would come back for a round 2. Recommended for the meat lovers!

The servers were very friendly and attentive, and the food was super fresh and great fun to eat, since you cook it yourself by dipping it in a bowl of simmering broth heated over an individual induction burner. Our meal consisted of plates of thinly sliced meats--beef, pork, and lamb, along with an array of vegetables and noodles, dipping sauces and condiments, all washed down with cold Japanese beer. The prix fixe meal included a dessert of macha ice cream and mochi with honey sauce, a great way to end the meal.

We arrived early, but without a reservation. The staff was able to fit us in but you should definitely have a reservation if you plan to eat dinner here as they fill up quickly. I had the spicy hot pot with beef, and it was everything I remembered. My wife was less impressed with her more "plain" broth, but I could see where some people would prefer it. We were in and out in about an hour, which is lightning fast for a hot pot restaurant. You're most likely looking to spend at least $50 CAD per person with food and a drink, but it is well worth it in my opinion. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

Their ordering system still feels very Pandemic like...where there's a plastic separation between the customer and the staff behind the counter.

I ordered a pork noodle soup bowl, which was huge....it came with all kinds of fresh herbs and spices. They charge you CDN$2 as a deposit for the plastic bowl and spoon, which are given back once you return them. Overall a decen soup bowl, nothing extraordinary.

New hot pot place in downtown montreal, they have another location in Brossard…read more This place gives you personal pots and allows you to choose 1-2 broths in your pot. They all come with a separate fee so be prepared to add another ~$5 to your bill because of this. The broths are flavourful and not too salty. The seating is comfortable and they have a cute little sauce bar. Service was fast. A strong point that makes this joint stand out is the expansive variety of hot pot items you can order. There are SO many things that don't even have a common term in English, which is impressive! Unfortunately, they don't pay enough attention to washing their veggies, and we got some veggies covered with little bug eggs. Their handmade fish pastes and balls were delicious though. The menu is separated into categories, where some items are limited to one order per person. They also have a membership option for different periods of time. It's kind of extra to be honest, you'll need to go there quite a bit to get your moneys worth. With the membership, you get some exclusive items like chicken wings? it's quite bizarre. Anyways, this hotpot is quite promising but it was about $40 per person. Too expensive even if you've got a huge appetite.
