You can order Dimsum items from the kiosk or grab a large bowl and fill it up with raw meats, seafood, noodles, soy products, and veggies. Then choose a broth and they'll make a bowl of hot soup for you with all your handpicked ingredients. Large enough space and usually no wait. read more

I recently checked out Fun DipPot with a friend, and it was my first time trying malatang! I'm more familiar with hot pot where you cook everything yourself, so it was a nice change to just pick out what I wanted and have the staff cook it for me. There was a wide selection of ingredients to choose from, and you can customize the broth flavor and spice level however you like. I really liked how you can grab exactly what you want in the quantity you want--no worrying about ordering too much or too little like with hot pot. The service was friendly and fast, and there was plenty of seating inside. There isn't a dedicated parking lot, but we found a paid lot just a short walk away, so it wasn't too bad. Overall, it was a fun and tasty experience--I'll definitely come back to try out more ingredient combinations next time! read more

Located on Hillsborough street (street parking), this self-serve fast hotpot joint is one of my new favorites! While your larger restaurants will have a lengthy wait at times, Fun Dippot seems to always be moving people through! You grab a bowl and tongs, pick your toppings, grab your noodles, then pick a base. It is weight based but so reasonable IMO, plus you can bring home anything you don't finish. We moved through with ease and sat down to enjoy our food in less than 10 minutes. The inside is very open, clean, and minimalistic. I will definitely be back! read more

Fun dippot is a self order at a kiosk restaurant. I liked this aspect since it has photos included, another option is to build your own bowl and pay by weight. One complaint I have with the process is that after ordering the kiosk doesn't print your number so if you forget which number you are it can be confusing. The food was good but not amazing, I felt it could have used more salt. It is a good spot for grab and go or if you're dinning alone, the casual atmosphere is nice. I would come back but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Fun Dippot - Chicken Dry Pot Chicken w.Mixed Vagetables干锅鸡 - Hot Pot Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

How great is it to have something so hearty and delicious on Hillsborough Street! Expect to pay around $16 to $20 depending on the ingredients you choose. The bowl is so big that I can have it for two meals. They have takeout containers ready at the top of the bar. On the other side of the restaurant, there is a self serve sauce bar. You can add cilantro, and create your own dipping sauce. It's minimal compared to an AYCE service restaurant, but it has everything you need for a meal. The whole process took about 10 minutes until my food was ready, and for reference I came with a group of five people during lunch time on weekday. read more

Fun Dippot - Hot Pot Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Fun Dippot is the newest restaurant on Hillsborough St! Starting today, they are doing their soft opening for the next 2 weeks. Fun Dippot has very interesting concepts! 1 It's not AYCE or a la carte. They charge by the weight! You get a bowl and put everything you want. They weigh and tell you how much it is! I believe it's around $15 per pound + noodles are extra! 2 They cook everything FOR you! After you give them your bowl to weigh, you pick your broth, and the chef cooks it and puts everything into a bowl. 3 They have house made yogurt! I know you're thinking ummm why yogurt at a hot pot place but you have to try it!! I got the seaweed flavor and it was SO FRICKIN good. Yogurt is also charged by the weight! I'd recommend you to get one big bowl to share between 2 people + get the yogurt for dessert! You can also get their cute little to go bowl if you have leftovers! p.s. There's a cute little message at the bottom of the bowl so make sure to finish it to see what it says! read more

When you want to get hotpot but you don't have time for a leisurely meal or when you don't want to cook your own food, Fun Dippot is your spot! The place is small & seating somewhat limited but there are some outdoor seats. Lots of choices so you could build your own or you could select one of their available combos. Word of caution, if you build your own, it is by the pound so your bowl could be pretty pricey at $15 per pound. Customer service was extremely helpful in guiding us on what to do and making suggestions. We opted for the available combos which were pretty generous portions. The premium beef combo with Szechuan spicy base is very good. I liked that you could choose the spice level since a lot of times, it's too much. The flavors were on point. The seafood combo was very good also although the seafood chicken base tasted of straight chicken bouillon from a box. This will definitely be one of our go-to spots when we're looking for a bowl of comforting soup. read more

Atmosphere: Fun DipPot is a new hot pot restaurant next to NC State's campus. The interior is clean with a decent number of tables. The bar of ingredients greets you as you walk in, uniquely allowing for the creation of a personal custom hot pot bowl. Service: Fun DipPot is largely self-serve. Customers can either order a preset combo bowl or create their own bowl with ingredients at the bar. Your bowl is then cooked for you in the broth of your choice. There is also a sauce station to create custom sauces for your ingredients. Food: We opted to customize our own bowls and tried their Pork Bone Soup Base and Szechuan Spicy Soup Base. Both options were delicious! We found that the spicy broth was still pretty spicy even at the mild level. Their beef and pork were of decent quality and were cooked well. We were hoping for a wider range of vegetables for our bowls, but our meal was still hearty and filling! Overall: At $15.25/lb for a custom bowl, we thought that Fun DipPot offered a fun way to eat hot pot at a decent price. Both of our bowls ended up being around $20 each, with some leftovers for later. We would highly recommend giving this new spot a try! read more

Small place with lots of options for meats and vegetables. It's not very clear where to order or where the line starts but the staff were friendly and helpful. Not a lot of seating area either. The food was good and the service was quick. There were many broth options. I got the Szechaun spicy broth and it was very flavorful. read more

Fun Dippiot was delicious! I believe I got the spicy thai broth in my ramen - it wasn't my favorite but I'm sure other people might like it! It was the perfect amount of spice for me, though. The staff was very helpful in explaining the process of making your own bowl. Overall, the service was great! Additionally, the vibe of the restaurant was super casual and informal. It was clean and there was plenty of seating with a big table for a large group which is where we sat. I would come back and try the pork bone broth, which is what some of my friends got and they liked it a lot! read more

I just finished eating here and had to write a review and give it 5 stars. If I could give it 7, I would. What a neat concept to hotpot. You pick your own ingredients (fresh, too!) and they weigh it at the end. You get to customize your own bowl or do a prefix combo for $16.99 What I did this time: I customized my own bowl - meat, veggies, mushrooms, taro, king mushrooms, tofu, tofu skin!, fish/shrimp/meatballs etc. Did the Pork Bone broth. Delicious. Oh, and I got the glass noodles (no extra charge for those) I paid $17.39 for it all. What I will do next time: I'll probably still customize my own, do all the same, but do less meat, and way more veggies. I love that they have tong hua which is so bitter/sweet. I want to try the tomato broth next time! Go support them! Good luck w/ parking. Go during lunch! read more

Going for hotpot is probably my family's favorite dining experience, but it can get pretty pricey when everyone wants different ingredients and multiple broth flavors. Fun Dippot is the budget friendly solution to those first world problems. Each person grabs a bowl, fill it with as little or as many ingredients as they want before picking their broth of choice. You pay by weight, they cook it up for you and voila! The broths were so flavorful and there was a decent variety of ingredients to choose from. The price you pay to get pretty much exactly what you want can't really be beat. The place is small and (for us), the location isn't convenient. So, if they could open a bigger store in Durham..that'd be great! read more

Where has this place been all my life!! Highly recommend. Hot pot is tough bc you don't know what you like but this place makes it easy! Pick what you like and cook it up. Try one new thing or get a lot of a favorite. Priced by weight and not too expensive at all. My 5 year old loved it because she could pick what she likes - kid friendly! read more

Fun Dippot - Black fungus, beef tripe, beef tendon, bean sprouts, golden soup - Hot Pot Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Imagine a hot pot and a weigh your foyo cup bar had a baby. That's fun Dippot. You can get a premade combo ramen or you can customize and make your own and get charged by the weight of your ingredients. It can be a bit confusing about how it all works the first time you go, like a learning curve. I accidentally got a combo and added stuff on top of it not knowing it already was coming with Veggies. But you live you learn. Staff are okay and get the job done. But being walking distance from campus is a plus. The brother and overall meal is good if you're craving it but you definitely can tell it's a hot pot for college kids. Ambiance is nice and I do love there little panda mascots that they sell there as well. read more

This new hot pot place is soft-opening in Raleigh next to Moge Tee. I went in and gave it a try today and the quality of the food beat my expectations!! I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS RESTAURANT if you haven't try "your choice of hotpot"! You can try their combo menu item (will become available later) or order your choices of selection from the counter. I haven't see anything similar open in Raleigh, this place is definitely worth to try! I hope they will keep going because it is very convenient with the boba tee just next door. HIGHLY recommend their "hot and sour" and tomato soup base! read more

Fantastic experience! This is a cozy and warm small restaurant that is just a short walk away from the North Campus of NCSU. The entire staff was very accommodating, so friendly and helpful. My daughter and I did Spicy soup base and the Tom yum broth was delicious. The Yogurt Fruit bar offers a wide variety of fruit, Toppings and very fresh. Also, I like the disposable tableware, good quality and Hygienic. Highly recommended!! read more

Yogurt and raw fish on an exposed, help yourself bar. This looked like it would be a fun experience, but turns out there is yogurt and raw fish on an exposed, help yourself bar. We took deep breaths, swallowed and ordered - various noodle dishes, with broth and whatever stuff we put in the bowl. Some of us didn't eat much, some couldn't get through a churny tummy - I ate all of mine, but didn't feel good about it. I'm happy to see something new, which I typically value, but not this time. We won't go back. read more
