    This was very delicious and plenty of food for three of us. I got the spicy broth and I think I would have preferred the original. It was a tad too spicy but they gave me more regular broth when my friend asked for me. One thing I loved was how the mushrooms came on a mushroom shaped plate.

    There is no parking so we parked at Ala Moana and walked over. The broth was a little too gingery for me and my husband didn't care for the seaweed in the broth. They don't really have a lot to select from. They did have two other broths on their specials board which we didn't see until after we ordered. I definitely regret getting the house seasonings, but again there wasn't much choices for dipping sauces either but it was a bunch of spices. I was a little annoyed that the fish ball said it was filled with roe but when I ate it, it was filled with meat and not roe which is the one thing I really wanted. So that was disappointing. And our total was about $100 for two of us. The staff were great and really nice and checked on us frequently. It can get pretty loud with a lot of other parties or big parties.

    From the same folks at Honolulu Skewer House, Honolulu Hotpot Hale is a new Chinese hot pot spot near Ala Moana. It's near Ala Moana but not in the mall, so parking can be tricky. Your best bet might be parking at the mall (target side) and walking over. My friend lives nearby so we were able to walk over from her apartment. She has been here a few times and when they started their weekly specials- we made a plan to go together on a Tuesday for their BOGO meat yard. We got their lamb and pork belly-- along with duck feet ( it was my first time trying it, I think it taste like tripe!) and their fish ball with row for our proteins. I will say, I do slightly regret ordering the pork belly, it was very fatty and with the oily soup- it was just very oily. Next time, I'd stick with just the lamb or try out the beef. For veggies we got a few sets: V1 mushroom set, LOVE that it comes in on a cute mushroom plate V2 with cabbage, broccoli, spinach and a Chinese greens V6 with glass noodles V7 frozen tofu If this was an AYCE spot, I def would have ordered more veggies (and probably felt better the next morning). My favorite part of hot pot is all the different veggies, especially mushrooms and cabbage to balance out the oil in the hot pot broth and all the fatty meat. I ordered their Chinese sauerkraut soup base -- I feel like sauerkraut isn't the best way to describe it- it does have that vinegary, almost kimchi like vibe, but more in line with a Tom Yum soup base. Each soup comes individually and is $6-- plus they will refill your soup with base throughout your meal as it boils off. My friend got the spicy broth and says that it's the spiciest hot pot on the island. I will say, that the grills don't have a heat setting - it's either on or off and you can't really adjust it if you think the soup is too hot. For dipping sauce we got their lime vinegar sauce, it's honestly so good would highly recommend! The vibes and atmosphere is honestly where it's at. From the stone limewash walls, plants hanging everywhere and the cute colors of the hot pot grills -- I really love the aesthetic here.

    First time here. I was not impressed. Very limited options in vegetables and sauces. They do have more options on meat than most hot pot. Not on seafood though. Portion was small. I didn't like my soup base. The place is located in a great area. Service was great. But not worth the money.

    They have weekday specials and we happened to go on Wednesday for their half off wagyu items. Such a good deal! The meat portions are pretty large overall and great for sharing. I got the beef broth and it was pretty good. I definitely liked the vinegar lime sauce! Service was very friendly but a little slow. We only received the wagyu once we were almost done with everything else, including our veggies and rice (and after being told twice it was coming out soon). They also have takeout containers available if you're not able to finish your food or want to take home the broth!

    It's truly amazing how one look, comment, or act can completely make or break a dining experience. This place is getting 2 stars because the food is amazing, but my experience was completely ruined by my server making an unnecessary, smart @$$ comment! Backstory: I'm by no means a regular, but I have been here several times before. I don't live in town and they don't open until 5PM, so when o find myself this side in the evening time, I make it a point to stop by. Parking isn't super convenient but the food is worth it! Today: I come in as a party of 1 and am seated at a lovely table by the window. She brings me a menu, asks if I've been there before (I say yes), and leaves me to decide. A reasonable amount of time later, the server returns to take my order. After I place it and while I'm waiting for my food, I decide to go wash my hands. I walk up to the counter and ask where the restroom is. Her reply was "I thought you have been here before?" AT THIS POINT there is nothing that you can say to recover this experience. This completely unnecessary smart Alec remark changed the entire dynamic. Not only is the flawed assumption that every customer goes to the bathroom in play, but you are in the customer service business! Idk if I have been here 50-11 times, if I ask, you tell me where the restroom is and keep your smart ass mouth to your self! It's not often that I leave NO TIP, but today was the day...

    No wait for dinner time on a Monday night. Flavorful Broth, good amount of spice. Not ayce but a decent amount of meat on the yard plate for about $32 Cool portable Burners, Clean interior, city location with street nearby. No bathroom inside restaurant that I could find but maybe it was somewhere outside. Service was ok, friendly but not super attentive. Only wierd thing was that there was a sign for 15% off bill on Mondays I think but when we inquired about it they said we have to write a review or check in on yelp first and then show the staff before we could get the discount. The sifnoutside didn't mention that part but it was ok.

    I think the only decent Chinese style hot pot place on Oahu. Their broths are the most fragrant and flavorful compared to other Chinese hot pot places. They are only opened for dinner and reservations are not necessary unless it's the holidays.

    Came here on a Tuesday night walk-in for the first time. This hot pot place is conveniently located close to the Ala Moana mall, just a walk away. Friendly staff welcomed us and introduced us to how to order. They suggested a special deal of the day: buy 1 and get 1 yard of meat, so we got Prime beef short rib and the Kurobota belly. Still a bit pricey, but loved the presentation of the meat, and we were each given our own heating pots. I tried the Chinese Sauerkraut soup--and it's definitely a relatively new taste for me as a hot pot soup. Slightly spicy, but I loved it! Original beef soup is the other option if you can't decide. The sauces have room for improvement IMO... For veggies, I got the glass noodles and sweet potato noodles (super slippery if you have trouble using chopsticks- grab it with something else, LOL, no one is judging). I recommend it! Plus, you can't miss some scoops of rice (Asian, you know). Shoutouts to the friendly staff, as it always makes a difference. Recommended after a whole day out at the mall or wherever you came from!

    Honolulu Hotpot Hale is a Chinese style hot pot. Bold, aeromatic, and balanced flavor make their beef broth a superb choice when you're adding your favorite meats and vegetables. Servers are friendly and quick to deliver. The interior is clean and well organized. Parking: -Metered street parking available (free after 5pm. Holidays and Sundays) -you could also park at Ala Moana Payment -Cash or credit card

    Came for lunch on a weekday at the typical lunch time. The restaurant was empty. This was good because service was fast. I was also weary as to why the restaurant wasn't busy during lunchtime. The food and broth was amazing. Everything was fresh. I asked the server why it's so slow when the food is so good. She said some customers or people checking out the restaurant say it's too expensive. It is on the pricier side for hot pot, but again, the vegetables are fresh and the meat is good quality. They are located on Keeaumoku. I walked here, so I'm not sure about parking. You could park at the Ala Moana mall and walk over. Its right across the street! The restaurant is very clean and its got a comfortable vibe. I can't wait to come back!

    Great hotpot experience with fresh vegetables and tofu! The Spicy Sauerkraut Broth was the favorite amongst my dining companion. We also enjoyed the sweet sesame dip as well as the lime vinegar dip. A must visit when you are in the Ala Moana area!

    We were craving hot pot tonight and was tired and Shaboya so we tried Honolulu Hot Pot and was very pleased with the quality of food. Chicken broth was great. We also got a foot long order of the prime beef toro. If u like some fat your thinly sliced beef try this one. All seasonings was delicious and enhanced the beef flavor. Veggies were fresh and crispy. Would highly recommend giving this place a shot. They will surprise your belly.

Not sure if it was lu ch time so they didn't schedule that much staff so our orders took very long time or just didn't come. Staff was also just standing at corners chilling instead of serving the diners. This time service got so much better when we came back for dinner. I could see there was more staff. And they were all very attentive and patient. Food wise everything was good. So you are given three rounds to order, but you could order as much as you want each round. We tried the meat, the vegetables, noodles, seafood, and they were all good. They are food choices are little different than Shabuya, things that you usually see a Chinese hot pot.

    I've eaten enough hot pot over the years to know exactly what this place is trying to be. The…read moreproblem is that it feels like nobody here cares enough to execute it. The first thing I noticed wasn't the broth. It wasn't the vegetables. It wasn't the meat. It was the cleanliness. Water was spilled across the table. The window ledges were dusty and dirty. The surfaces around our booth looked neglected. For a restaurant built around a communal dining experience where you're sitting there staring at the table and surroundings for an hour or two, details matter. Then came the service. Our server seemed irritated by the simple act of having customers. I asked for a watermelon juice that was listed on the menu and got a curt response that there was no more watermelon. Restaurants run out of things. That's not the issue. The issue was the attitude. I was there with my wife and our two young kids, ages 2 and 4. When you're dining with little ones, you notice very quickly whether a restaurant is welcoming families or merely tolerating them. This felt like the latter. The food itself was okay. That's almost the problem. The vegetables looked like they came straight from a grocery store produce section. The broth was fine. The ingredients were fine. Everything was technically acceptable, but nothing felt thoughtful or memorable. What frustrated me most was the gap between what this place could be and what it currently is. Hot pot is one of those meals where you're paying for more than ingredients. You're paying for comfort. Hospitality. Atmosphere. The feeling that someone actually cares about the experience. Instead, I found myself staring at dirty surfaces, wiping spilled water from the table and wondering why nobody seemed particularly interested in being there. There are too many great places to eat in Hawaii to spend time and money on an experience that feels this indifferent. I wanted to like it. I left disappointed.

I would think it actually would make sense to me that they allow more orders to get placed at once (and just charge you extra if you don't end up eating it... like other places do) in times they are swamped, or at least up the portion per person (it makes no sense that the limit is the same for 2 people as it is for 4 people). It would have actually earned them more money tonight as we wouldn't have sat there hungry, staring forlornly at other table's plates but would have eaten quickly and left, allowing them to turn our table quickly.

    Hot Pot Heaven in McCully Shopping Center understands the assignment. This is not an…read moreall-you-can-eat place, and it is not pretending otherwise. You pick your broth and meats up front, then head to the refrigerators in back for the rest, which makes the whole meal feel more practical than theatrical. The room is no-frills, the service is solid without being especially warm, and the BYOB policy fits the place better than any design effort would have The draw is still the broth. The beef broth really does drink like pho broth, and the restaurant's own menu more or less admits that by calling it a favorite for pho lovers. The tom yum has real sharpness and stays lively through the meal. The meat selection is broader than the room suggests, with ribeye, short rib, lamb, pork belly, pork shoulder, tripe, and tendon all on the menu. The vegetable and noodle selection is also better than average: bok choy, choi sum, ong choy, watercress, taro, lotus root, bamboo shoot, enoki, king oyster, fresh saimin, udon, glass noodle, vermicelli, and pho noodle, among others What holds it at 4 stars is that the math can get a little awkward. It is not expensive plate by plate, but somehow the total often lands near all-you-can-eat territory, except without the same range. Although if you were to ask my wife, this a solid 5 star place. Still, that misses why people come here. This place feels built around broth first, not abundance for its own sake, and that makes it easier to forgive a sauce station that is merely fine and a service style that does the job without much flourish

The garlic fried rice was tasty and paired great with the stir fry. The spicy pork dumplings actually made my jaw drop for a second. The pork was so flavorful! We were sat instantly, the food came out quickly, and the wait staff were attentive and friendly. I also liked how lowkey it was inside--it made for a calm, relaxing dining experience. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes; this is definitely going to become a go-to spot!

This time, however, it almost seemed as though they drastically altered their spice levels or changed something because our food tasted both different and nonexistent in spiciness -- not what you'd desire and expect when eating Sichuan food. We ordered the stir-fried eggplant + green beans and a beef dry pot and as aforementioned, both contained the dry peppers but zero spiciness. I know it's called a "dry" pot, but this is the first place I've had it where it was actually 100% dry with no sauce/oil on the bottom at all. Usually, I like to dip or at least mix the contents with the sauce/oil but since there wasn't any, the dish was just too dry and felt like it was lacking. The same to be said with the eggplant dish. Maybe just stick to the hotpot/broth dishes, but even then, I'm not confident. The exact dish I got last time doesn't appear to be served anymore; but a variation of it is, which is their fish in stone pot? I remember it being mouth-numbing spicy and delivering in the classic Mala/Sichuan tastes. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back again despite it conveniently located in Ala Moana.
