it's very confusing and servers really wants you to follow rules lol . buffet is better than average, but i am a vegetarian and no options . Honestly the ingredients you can pick for vegetarian are really amazing for your pot , my wife said seafood options we very good also . many noodle options even ramen. promblem for us is whole table has to get pot or bbq . i like my mushroom , black fungus , and tofu grilled but i was told ingredients can only be in hi pot broth and it makes them soggie . your pot will be about 32$ and you do get a soda and trip to buffet bar . sounds expensive but food is very fresh and if you eat seafood there is a nice amount of options. not a lot of kids option besides deserts ( fried chicken strips ). very cool place just understand concept before you go and it's about 100 with tip for 2 adults and 1 child read more

First, not wild about the ambiance. It is clean but kind of mixed up inside. The service is OK but, if you get the buffet, it doesn't really matter. The food is where it really goes down. We went once and got the expensive grilled items which were OK but not worth the money. The buffet seemed better that time but we went back for just the buffet and it was pretty mediocre. I'll not be going back. read more

So this place is large and clean. They have friendly staff who walk you through if you haven't ever been before. We opted for the Korean BBQ which comes with 4 meats some veggies and then they allow us to also get food from the buffet. We were so stuffed we didn't have any dessert. They also have a sauce bar which you can use for hot pot or create dipping sauces for the Korean BBQ. The only thing I will say is the Chinese food on the buffet is very standard. I tried a little of many things and nothing really wowed me. Also that beef bulgogi is chefs kiss! Highly recommend and it paired well with the garlic chicken! read more

We enjoy it. I'll say this the food is good. The sauces are great. The bar of food is not great. Prices are ridiculous. Not sure this makes financial sense anymore. read more

I tried this restaurant out of curiosity. Their specialty is to offer both Hot Pot and Korean Barbeque at the table. There are two Hot Pot Burners and one Grill at the table. There is a buffet where you can select the variety of items for your meal - meats, vegetables, and sauces. There are also appetizers and a dessert bar. They are intentional about making sure that the grill will not be too smoky by coming around and exchanging it frequently. The only thing that I didn't like was that I smelled like food when the meal was over. read more

Just walked out of Hi-Pot in Pottstown. It's more like 4.5 stars. I've seen a lot of potentials of this place, but there's room for adjustment/improvement as they are still quite new. Here is what I like: 1) it's very spacious, plenty of room even when it's at its full capacity; 2) seating is comfortable, all booths, which is quite rare for a hotpot and bbq place; 3) service is attentive and friendly; 4) it's all you can eat, but the server brings food to your table instead of your going to fetch them yourself, which means it's more organized; 5) MOST IMPORTANTLY, ingredients are of decent quality comparing to other all-you-can-eat hotpot/bbq establishments. Here is what I think they could do better: 1) the interior decor, though fun (they have animated images projected onto the wall), is a bit tacky to my taste, but this is a minor criticism as hotpot/bbq isn't meant to be the most romantic place for dates anyway; 2) although they have all kinds of sauces, the layout of the sauce bar isn't ideal--having double rows can easily cause sauce at the inner row to drip into the outer row when customer is getting the sauce; 3) warm snacks, such as the spring rolls, fried dumplings are kept together with salad instead of on food warmers, which means likely you'll be eating cold spring rolls and dumplings. Overall, I'm happy with my dining experience. I think it's a valuable addition to the dining scene in the area. You can go shopping at the outlet nearby and have your lunch or dinner here. read more

Wonderful service and super sweet staff. The place is so fun for a family with kids. Fish projected onto the walls. Playful, colorful vibes. Eclectic menu offerings. A place that has something for everyone. We really enjoyed our dinner here. A fun stop in Pottstown. read more

Amazing experience and food here. The staff is kind and accommodating and the hot pot was delicious! I got the mushroom soup base and my partner got the tomato soup. Everything we ordered came fast and the complimentary side dishes were great. We absolutely LOVED the interior!! We were surrounded by swimming whales on projection screens read more

What a gem of Pottstown. Went here before a comedy show at Soul Joel's. Asked the waiter and it's only been open a year but everything ran smoothly. A bevy of food. A cornucopia of choices. The no brianer was to get both the grill AND soup. Totaled about $50 after tax and tip per person, with no drinks. Well worth it. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!! Do not eat the buffet!!!Terrible. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. All four of my kids threw up immediately after eating at this place. I have never seen this anywhere else. Don't risk it. Not worth it. read more

We were so excited to come to Hi Pot, and were very pleased with our experience. I do wish we had only ordered the BBQ or the Hot pot, but we ordered BOTH! Too much food! BUT, so delicious! The restaurant is bright and clean, and the staff are very professional, courteous, and patient. The tables are amazing - at each place setting is a round heating element to keep your soup piping hot, and in the center of the table is the grill for the BBQ, everything adjustable. I was most impressed with the high quality of the beef and seafood we chose for our BBQ. Definitely try the mango slushies! We look forward to visiting again, soon! read more

This was such a fun and delicious experience. We got both the barbecue and hot pot. The variety was really fun. Favorite things: THE GARLIC SAUCE!!!!! BARBECUE: spicy beef bulgogi, garlic chicken, garlic shrimp. We topped the eggplant with the garlic sauce as it cooked and it was INCREDIBLE. Maybe my favorite thing. Octopus was fun. We also liked the zucchini, onion, sweet potato, eggplant, pumpkin, and potato. HOT POT: Szechuan spicy broth, prime brisket, gyoza, udon. We also liked the fried tofu, spinach, sweet potato, broccoli, pumpkin, eggplant, white mushroom. read more

After having driven past here each time I went to Walmarts, I decided to try it out. The restaurant is massive with lots of tables. I didn't count them but there must easily be at least 30 tables. They serve both hot pot and asian barbecue. Everyone in the party has to choose one or the other. There is an extra charge if you want both. I had the asian barbecue. There is an extensive menu with pictures of the different meats and vegetable selections. The soft drinks are bottomless. There is a charge for bubble tea. They have a bar with appetizers - pork dumplings, spring roll, sesame balls, and other items. There are also a very wide assortment of sauces to use with the appetizers and the main meal. This was the first time having asian barbecue when I used butter on the grill before putting the meat and vegetables on the grill. They have fairly good ventilation. The food was good. The portions of meat are large so do not go overboard when ordering. read more

This was a total waste of money and the food was god awful. Did the BBQ. Smoke was choking us to the point we were coughing and asked for help waiter came over and laughed and walked away! Food using their cooking chart was either over cooked and rubbery or raw and inedible just absolutely a huge waste of money ! My advice stay home and order take out! read more

Service is excellent and they genuinely want you to enjoy your time. If you get the BBQ or hi pot, it's about $35, more for both. It's definitely something for an experience. read more

What a great addition to Pottstown! Somehow, even with all of the varied global cuisines I love and celebrate, I managed never to try hot pot until tonight. And? I loved it! The setup at HIPot is simple. Nothing fancy; just a huge space with lots and lots and LOTS of tables that seat 2, 4, or 6 people. Each table featured an induction burner for each diner, and there's a grill in the center for cooking Korean BBQ. Service is fast and friendly, no fuss, no muss. The menu is ENDLESS, with a huge selection of meats, seafood, and vegetables (for both the hot pot broth and BBQ). We got the Szechuan broth for the hot pot (SPICY!!) and an assortment of ingredients ranging from shaved pork belly to oyster mushrooms to baby octopus. We loved it all. But the best thing about HiPot is that it's FUN. It's interactive. You get to cook things the way you want and you get to do it with your friends. And? It's inexpensive! Relatively speaking, of course. Dinner for two that included LOTS of seafood and truly lovely meats was about $75. Note that it's soft drinks only (no alcohol). But you won't miss it because the dining experience is so enjoyable. We can't wait to go back! read more

New Hi Pot location in Pottstown, PA Hi Pot serves a variety of hot pot and Korean bbq options for lunch and dinner, and the best part is that it's all you can eat! As a pescatarian, there were several seafood and veggie options along with the usual meat options. My friends and I opted for the Korean bbq AND hot pot. The Thai tom yum soup base was INCREDIBLE. We also got bubble milk tea and fruit tea, which were SO GOOD.As for food, the spicy baby octopus & garlic shrimp were my favorites! This new Hi Pot location in Pottstown is absolutely worth going to. It's a large, clean space with spacious booth tables, kind and attentive staff, and endless bbq and hot pot options! read more

Wanted to test out Hi Pot as we've been to another forty minutes from here. Glad to see more food options coming to this area. Our bellies were def full after this meal. There were two of us and we ordered the hot pot and bbq. The sauces, salad, and appetizers are buffet style. You order the rest from the menu and they bring it out. We both got the spicy Szechuan soup base. For the bbq we ordered pork belly, garlic chicken, garlic shrimp, spicy beef. And a whole lot of fixins. Staff were very friendly. Ambience was nice. Very clean. Some people may think the projections are cheesy, but I liked it. Haven't seen it in other places. We'll return soon w some friends. read more

Hi Pot - Spicy Szechuan soup base, garlic shrimp and chicken, pork belly, and spicy beef - Hot Pot Near Me - Pottstown, Pennsylvania

The food is poor quality. Our party was very disappointed with the entire experience, especially the food. Will never go back.

Service experience was absolutely terrible. The one lady host has a very aggressive tone, did not greet just asked "what y'all want?". Her and the rest of the server were playing around in the back (not in the back back but visible enough to where we can that lady in particular doing pushups on the restaurant seats). read more

After eating at Kpot in KOP and Top Pot in Willow Grove we decided to try HiPot in Pottstown since we just moved to Pottstown. Honestly, pretty disappointed. The flavors were off compared to Kpot & Top Pot. The sauce station was underwhelming. The lack of fermented vegetables was also disappointing. The broth menu was very lackluster. I went with the herb broth and it was pretty much chicken soup, tasted similar to cup of noodle. The service was great. The quality of the food was fine. The restaurant was clean and quiet. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have tried the others and are looking for something similar. read more

Food was delicious and ingredients was great! Service was friendly and quick, and servers are very attentive! A lot of good selection and menu items, and I'm glad a hotpot finally opened near my area! The place is clean, and the grill are always cleaned when gets burnt. Will definitely come back! read more

This is NOT a Korean restaurant. this is a low quality Chinese buffet masquerading as a Korean restaurant. Food quality was abysmal. The kimchi was drenched in a sweet sauce. The beef was mostly all low grade extremely fatty chip steak. The sushi was dry. Would not recommend. read more

Absolutely fantastic!!!! The staff is great and the food is delicious. They are very welcoming here, and the waiter really took the time to make sure that we understood how it works and what to expect. The service was prompt and friendly. My kid did not know what kind of soup to get so the waiter brought out samples of each of them. It was my other kids' birthday and all the waiters and bussers came out to sing Happy Birthday with a slice of cake and a lighted sign. Our plates and drinks were never empty. The food was nice and fresh. Very casual atmosphere but kept to high standards for cleanliness and all food remained stocked. I wanted to hug the waiter afterwards because it was such a joy to be there. read more

I absolutely loved it! I went during lunch which was very affordable. I choose the hot pot option. I enjoyed cooking my own. I originally got the Thai soup, but it was extremely spicy, unpleasantly so. (I normally love hot foods, but this was too much for me.) They very happily switched my stock to the miso with no extra charge. The menu choices were extensive. I tried not to stuff myself but everything was delicious. There is a charge for wasted food, so I didn't order more than I could eat. I also enjoyed the extras on the salad bar, including seaweed salad and mochi. You can make your own sauce with an assortment of wonderful flavors. I finished with a scoop of ice cream. The wait staff are helpful and pleasant. The restaurant itself is lovely. They project images of fish all along the walls. There is a star ceiling in the foyer. Nice design. A wonderful experience and meal. I look forward to going back. read more

Food was great, tons of options. I really enjoyed the sauce bar with tons of different sauces plus dumplings, seaweed salad, etc. We got the hot pot and barbecue and it was really good. First time having quail eggs! The servers were great and always checking to see how we're doing. Ambience was good, fish to look at while eating. read more

I would usually give this place a 4 or 5 star review! Great food! Always so fun to cook it yourself! The service is usually good! The ambiance is nice too! But tonight was horrible! It started out great up until we were leaving and our waiter tired to force us to tip when tipping is optional. Mind, it was just me and my husband! Then he continued to be super rude to my husband and I saying that "we should clean off the table if we're gonna be so cheap and not tip". Would usually recommend this place but not after tonight. Watch out and be carful. read more

Everything was great. First experience and won't be last. Waitress explained the process and food was so fresh.

Great hot pot with everything you could want. Ice cream, soda, and salad/sauce bar also added for free. Herb soup base was terrific. read more

Authentic Hot Pot. The service is great, the selection of food is amazing. So glad I don't have to go to Philadelphia anymore!!

Was so excited to see a hot pot restaurant come to town. We tried it tonight and it was absolutely incredible! The spicy Szechuan soup base for hotpot is so spicy and delicious. The staff was incredible and attentive. The restaurant walls are covered by projectors which makes for a very cool and unique dining experience.

Very friendly service. Good selection of different proteins to bbq and add to hot pot. We'd go back.

Visited Mother's Day 2024. Sever was new and wasn't very helpful Place was not very clean. Food was meh. Would not recommend.

This is my favorite place to eat! My family comes here at least 2-3 times a month. We love the hot pot, the mushroom soup is delicious and we love trying new things to cook in the soup! The addition of the Chinese buffet is a nice touch. It is always super clean, and they have really cool projections on the walls. Also, their fountain soda is the best - I can't even describe it - it reminds me of the soda I used to get at my local ice cream place where I grew up. Our favorite server is Jiao (spelling?). She always finds us and serves us when we come in, and we have loved talking to her and learning about her and where she grew up in China. She always brings us special treats (candy, etc.) when we dine there. I love their boba tea too! I highly recommend this place. They have gotten sooo much busier and popular as they grow- so I recommend coming during the week or during lunch. Either way, the service is always quick- it will just be a little less crowded than the weekends. If you want to have fun, eat some good food, and get some great service - come to Hi Pot!!! read more
