I've eaten at Swish Swish in Bellevue, WA and had awesome experience for a hot pot so glad that this place opened in One Loudoun, my neighborhood! The other location is in Rockville, MD, also a wealthy suburb in the DMV! $30 a person all you can eat was a treat and owner visited while we dined and several staff checked in on us on several coassions asked if we needed more really made us felt welcomed like eating at your family's home! Also worth mentioning that the owner suggested mixing sauces at the sauce bar to customize what you like or could like was super, and most significant she created a concoction for me herself which was very tasty and consisted of 3 different sauces! I mean, what else could you ask for? We were not terribly hungry so we tried just a few items of endless list but will definitely come back to get the full experience! Holding out a star for minor kinks but a 5 is definitely achievable as this place looks promising! OBW, this location was the former Aggio, Voltagio brothers' concept which I visited prior to their finally closing the restaurant and I dont think it's for the food but rather, the clientele was lacking for some god knows reason i dont understand. I miss Aggio and now Hot Pot in its place is bitter sweet! read more

A first time visit to a hot pot. Our wait staff did a poor job describing the dinner experience. They gave no direction on cooking times. And we would have not known about the sauce bar if it wasn't for a friend who had recently visited. We had " all you can eat" (AYCE) with a duo pot of broth. The wide selection of veggies and meats was challenging to make a choice but they were very generous portions. Overall it was an ok experience. read more

4.5 stars rounded up. My husband and I ate here yesterday, and we absolutely loved it! Our favorite thing was actually the service. The servers worked as a team, so everyone was super attentive; our waters were kept full, the food kept coming, broth refills were offered throughout the meal. Even the owner was walking around to make sure everyone was happy, too! She was super friendly and talking to her made the experience more enjoyable. They also have a loyalty program and we signed up for (we've already got a discount on our next visit, which is awesome!). The menu has a good selection of items (see pic). I am on a restricted diet right now and it was easy to pick things that worked for me. .5 off for the tables being kind of small for the experience and because the table's hot plate/burner thing seemed to be working inconsistently (like one side of the pot would boil, then the other wouldn't, etc.). I also wish they had more sauces to select from. Those little nits won't stop us from coming back! read more

Came here for the soft opening. The 4 stars are for the food/physical appearance of the restaurant. The service was slow and they were missing a lot of foods we ordered but I won't count it against them. However the servers were all really nice. The soup here is really good! I got to try the Sichuan, spicy beef, tomato, and pork bone. The soup here doesn't taste like it was made from instant powder. My group got the AYCE option and they have a huge variety of food you can order. They have a pretty standard sauce bar for hot pot. The chive sauce was new to me but I liked it a lot. Def recommend coming here. The AYCE is 30/pp. you can get other appetizers and stuff a la carte. read more

We had been wanting to try this place out after seeing it at One Loudoun and finally got the chance to. When you step inside the restaurant, it's definitely different than what you would expect it to look like. It was very spacious and large. We were unsure of whether we wanted to do AYCE or individual hot pots. We decided to just do individual hot pots for our first time to see how much meat they would bring and determine if it was worth it. You get one plate of meat for the single pot and you're definitely going to want more lol. I would say to get the all you can eat since it's only a $10 difference and each additional plate of meat would be $5 if you were to do just the regular individual hot pot. We got the Beef and Lamb Hot Pots with the Mushroom and Sichuan Spicy broths I believe. They also have a side bar with all the different dipping sauces you can choose. Everything was delicious and service was fast. Would come back and do all you can eat! read more

Another great AYCE hotpot spot! Although a bit far, it's definitely worth a visit when you're in the area. The restaurant is clean and had plenty of parking. The booths are nicely divided off - which is nice during these covid times. They had a great selection of foods to add to your hotpot! My favorite was the lamb and fish balls. They had a nice selection of broths to choose from, the pork broth and chili broth were both flavorful. Service was great and employees were nice. Definitely recommend checking out read more

Hot Pot Legend is definitely competing for the number one spot in OneLoudoun!!! This trendy, all you-can-eat, cook it yourself eatery is a cultural culinary experience that has a little something for everyone. The menu items are plentiful and everything is served fresh. We were amazed by the various meats and veggies options available to sample. The price is fair and the establishment clean. The staff is super hospitable and welcoming to newbies. My only recommendation is to come hungry :-) read more

It's my second time here for lunch. I wasn't impressed to rate nor leave comments for first time. Because I'd say my first time experience was above averages but not outstanding. Food was food, waitress was nice. My friends and I made a mistake when ordering from all-you-can-eat menu, it turned out there were 2 dishes we need to pay extra but our waitress waived it at the end ($12 value). Everyone in the restaurant was doing their jobs and friendly. Today I visited here again for lunch with my family and decided to leave the restaurant 5 We are very satisfied when we walked out the restaurant. The waitresses were so nice and patience to answer my questions about the menu. The store manager swing by and answered all my questions. I'm so appreciated their patience since the restaurant was busy at that time. We got complimentary buns and free kids meal. Food was good, appetizers were delicious, sauce station were fresh and lots of selection. Both Sichuan and herbal broth are tasty. Ingredients are fresh and generous quantity. Shrimps and squid are very fresh, too. I will recommend to my family and friends. read more

Tried to walk in for a dinner on a Friday night to be told that they are closing in 45 minutes, and can have a table if I can be done in 45 minutes. I understand that most restaurants have a closing time, but never been told that at 8:15 that I can only have a table if I'll be done eating by the time they close in 45 minutes. I won't be going back to attempt to eat there ever again. Bet that don't last too long. read more

Hot pot is one of my favorite things to eat. I've tried all of the hot pot places in a 50 mile radius. I was very happy that this establishment came to Loudoun County. In my most recent visit with a group of few individuals that have never experienced hot pot, we had a great time! Our server was amazing and was an expert with the tablet as we were firing off ingredients for their all you can eat option, she was able to keep up with multiple people ordering at the same time, which I've never seen before. The food here is fresh and options are vast. I suggest the sichuan broth with beef base. Their sauce bar could use a better sesame paste but it's still has decent options. Their house chef sauce is really good and makes up for not having some of the ingredients hot spot does. The one notable item I tried recently was their twisted cruller. I was expecting it to be cold and something to cook in the hot pot but when it came out, it was nice and fresh. They fry them to order and it was tasty! I would recommend this place as they hit on all marks. The ambience is nice, servers are great, and the food is fresh! read more

New go to hot pot place. Definitely worth a try for their ayce hotpot! They allow up to 15 items per order/round & they come around relatively every 10 minutes to check in. They best meat on the menu is the pork belly imo. I really enjoyed this place because some of the items you cannot find it at other local hot pot places. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Hot Pot Legend - Hot pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

I came to this place since they opened, always had a good time dining there. Until today, my friend and I went and at first there was a lady wearing mask (long gold hair) she was our server and her face doesnt look happy to work, that's alright. She asked me for drinks and after that I told her I'm ready to order. Its AYCE Hotpot..but i just order 2 meats and 2-3 veggies and havent finished, she started having reactions and said anything else? So i continued ordered 1 item, she said again "anything else" in rushy way, so i had to stop ordering. I ordered Mala with the highest spicy level (what I usually get), it comes with no spicy, thats ok, i didnt want to bother her. After that a few minutes, our food came which is missing some items we ordered, I didnt say a word. Until our second round, i had to wave to call her to order because none of staff around and they're hanging together at the bar. When she came, i ordered another pork belly and she said right away "anything else" ? I was like...i haven't finished and I told her I didn't get some items at my first round, she asked me what else did i want. After that, we waited for about 20 mins until my friend had to walk to the bar to them and said we didn't get order and found out that that server didn't put order in for us. In the meantime, the table next to ours, their pot burnt and have smoke which you can see how inattentive their servers were. There're not even half of the house at that time and there're 2-3 servers which is enough to take care customers which they choose not to do that. That lady server named Pearl/ phoeng or something around that im not sure her exact name that other server told me, she seemed angry and speak very loud and aggressive in her own language maybe Chinese?! Which me and my friend look at each other and confirmed that she talked about us and she never came to our table anymore since we finished order 2nd round with her. At least come and apologize or explain any reasons? She tried to hind away behind the bar and asked other server to take care us instead of her. Finally, the owner came, so i did explained and she said saying sorry maybe they're busy (which is not!) if your staff have time talking/ eating their food at bar and hanging around, it shouldnt be considered busy. This is the worst out of every time I visit and 1 star is too much for that rude lady server. I hope they will train their staff better or hire professional ones or lose customers read more

[12:55 PM EST] Man, have I been patiently waiting for the place to open! The day has finally come where I no longer have to drive 25+ minutes for decent hot pot. I ordered the custom hot pot to-go. I don't believe they are officially doing to-go orders and let me tell you why. Their website specified a dine-in menu only, but I wanted to try and call to see if they would do takeout. Initially, I was told no, but a few seconds later, it seems the lady on the phone had a change of heart and agreed to take my order. I'm not comfortable dining in yet - so I'm thankful they agreed! I got the Sichuan spicy (spice level medium) with spicy beef, pork belly, tofu, mini dumpling, egg, shiitake mushrooms, baby corn and bok choy with ramen noodles. The medium level spicy is more like high level spice, it had me breaking a sweat. I asked for sesame sauce and the house special sauce on the side. The house sauce is definitely on the sweeter side and I loved the sesame because it was so rich. The spicy beef was very tender and pork belly was good too. The mushrooms were added in whole and it was a bit hard for me to chew. But overall - a great experience! I don't think they're equipped to do take out quite yet because they put all the hot pot items in the broth for me. Which I think defeats the purpose of cooking the food to my liking. However, it's nice that although they aren't ready to do take out yet, they still provide patrons with an alternative if they are not comfortable sitting inside, like myself. Side note - I passed by hotpot on a Friday evening last week and the place was packed! Social distancing was not enforced and they were not limiting seating inside. I stepped in to see if I could take a peek at the menu, since I was in the area, but felt too uncomfortable so I left. Had it not been for this, this rating would be a 5/5. read more

Hot Pot Legend - To go lunch order - Hot Pot Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

This was my new discovery last weekend. Seem like they have a location in Rockville, but Loudon location is pretty new, only 11 reviews on Yelp. I was so hesitant to give it a try until I saw their well-decorated restaurant and the long queue of guests. "It must be good" I whispered to myself and decided to wait for 45 min to my turn. (One Loudon is an upscale outdoor shopping mall so there are plenty of things to go window shopping, but I recommend Barnes and Noble, probably one of the best designed and brand new branch of the bookstore chain). There are many small plus things about Hot Pot Legend: They let you order shared hot pots and side dishes at reasonable price. Definitely will try it next time. Their pot has a dragon head make me feel royal I guess. Good variety of meat, seafood, vegetables and mushrooms And the best thing? They use panda pillow to fill up empty tables for social distancing. I literally surrounded by pandas. What can be better than that? Food quality is good. The best one in Nova I have tried. The Szechuan broth is a must if you can eat spicy (I had medium and it was not spicy). The only thing I don't like is the spicy beef which didn't taste like beef (I guess it was marinated for too long). read more

Checked this spot out with the family last night and it was a hit! Also first time doing hot pot. Definitely a fun/tasty experience and we left stuffed! Being our first ever hot pot experience, the staff was very friendly and patiently walked us through the ordering process, how everything works, and provided suggestions. One of the owners was also walking around to check in on tables and offer samples of their cold spicy noodles (delish!) and mango smoothie (perfect to follow up the spicy Sichuan). We went with the all you can eat option since we wanted to be able to try as much as possible. For broths we went with Sichuan (medium heat), pork bone, and beef. The medium heat Sichuan was the perfect spice level to bring some heat without bringing pain. The pork bone was also very flavorful and my wife and I ended up preferring this over the beef broth for a non-spicy option. Our kids really loved the beef broth which was good but not quite as complex as the Sichuan or pork bone. We'll absolutely be getting the Sichuan and pork bone again. We'll probably try the chicken broth next time we go back. As for the meats we tried a good bit: fatty brisket, eye round, marinated beef, spicy beef, lamb, chicken, pork belly, squid, cuttlefish balls, fish balls, and shrimp balls. The squid, pork belly, fatty brisket, lamb, and marinated/spicy beef were our favorites. For the rest, we tried: napa cabbage, bok choy, lotus root, enoki mushroom, mini sausage, mini dumplings, ramen, udon, and rice. The bok choy, lotus root, and enoki were a huge hit. We'll try more next time but these will become staples. Definitely recommend the mini dumplings. The noodles/rice were good, nothing to fancy here. A note about sauces: sure you can enjoy them individually, but you can also mix them! I decided to wing it with the following combo that I ended up loving: soy sauce, pepper oil, sesame oil, garlic, cilantro, green onions, chef's sauce, chinese bbq sauce, sesame sauce, and green onion sauce. Overall with the combination of attentive/friendly service, interactive food experience, and something for everyone on the menu I would definitely recommend Hot Pot Legend for friends and families to get together! Really looking forward to visiting again! read more

Hot Pot Legend - Pork broth is hearty - Hot Pot Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Came in with a group of friends and got to sit immediately which is always nice. The food itself was yummy but felt very expensive when considering the "included appetizers" are just diced cucumbers, peanuts, and one other small bowl. The sauce bar was extremely messy and some of the bowls were not even clean. It was around 7:30 and they're were a few tables of people but they weren't packed so it would've been nice to have someone clean up that area within the 1-2 hours we were there. After ordering one appetizer and AYCE hot pot and tip my bill was almost $60 which just felt super expensive for what we got. The other downside is that our table was pretty small and we had almost no table space for our food and get very cramped. They give you a rolling car to put food on but it felt awkward to have to grab food off your cart from the lower shelf. read more

Decent food. Terrible service. Multiple missing items Extremely slow service. Ate for over an hour due to slow service No drink refills No chef sauce No green onion The bill was brought to us IMMEDIATELY though. So maybe that's a plus? read more

We have eaten here several times and the food and service are both wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Hot Pot Legend - Panda statue - Hot Pot Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Hands down my favorite place to get hot pot. Their broth is so good and full of flavor. We always do AYCE. They have a good number of options to choose from in terms of broth and hot pot ingredients. Servers are usually really friendly and the owner also frequently checks up on customers to see how they are doing. As for the drinks, the milk teas aren't good in my opinion. Black milk tea was alright, nothing special. Taro milk tea and the strawberry milk tea tastes super artificial. I honestly couldn't finish the strawberry milk tea. On a positive note, the Kumquat Lemon tea is great, I like to add coconut jelly. This drink is super refreshing and sweet. read more

Let me start by saying, right when you walk in you are greeted with a huge space, with lots of room to social distance yourself! They had set up cute stuffed pandas on some of the tables so that their guests were far enough from other patrons. It was clean, modern, nicely decorated with friendly staff! This was our first time at Hot Pot Legend, but we've been to a few similar places before so we knew the concept of what to do. What I did like was that they gave you the option of doing AYCE (all you can eat) or ordering a set dish (pre-picked broth and items to cook in it). We went with AYCE (I believe it's around $30 each) because we love food and my boyfriend can eat a lot. :) We choose the Sichuan spicy - regular heat broth and the beef broth. Let me tell you now, I've been to other places in the area and their broths are okay. They are either bland or just nothing at all (which is what turned me off to Chinese hot pot for a bit). But not here, everything is so flavorful. We always taste the broth before we put anything in, and I felt like I could sip on the broth all day without even adding the meat/veggies. They had lots of choices to select for various items to cook in your pot. Everything came out neatly prepped and prepared. The servers were attentive and always had our drinks refilled or asked if we were okay and needed anything else. The food was good and the experience was great! We definitely will be coming back to eat! read more

Came here with my family and it was an authentic hot pot experience. I'm usually not a fan of cooking raw meat/seafood in front of me but this all looked and tasted fresh! It was $35 for all you can eat which I thought was a great deal for the amount of options they had on their menu. The whole concept of picking your own broth and having a personal pot in front of you was really cool. The constant steam from the boiling broth made it feel like an hour long facial. Why even bother with a facial steamer when you can just have a hot pot? Loved the sauce and toppings bar that had sauces like chili oil, hoisin sauce, sriracha, soy sauce and toppings like fresh garlic, scallions, and parsley. I only gave it four stars because we made a reservation for 7:30 and by time they brought out the first round of food it was already 8:00. They told us then that last call for food was at 8:30. At that point we felt rushed to order more and finish our food quickly. I knew they closed at 9 but assumed we wouldn't be rushed out especially since it was a large group of 8 of us. I wish they stated this on the phone or we would've made our reservation for an earlier time. Another family walked in at 8:30 that got turned away, which I totally get since it was close to closing time. The server was very apologetic to this family, apologizing for not being able to seat them. A tip for them would be maybe post something on the website about last call for food at 8:30pm or only take seatings until 7pm to ensure people have enough time to order and eat. read more

Been there twice and honestly no reason to go back. Hotpot is average and don't have the items we frequently eat. The Mala broth is really spicy and tasty and service is good. If you are fan of traditional chinese hotpot, this place is for you otherwise, skip for other ones that better valued in the NoVA area. read more

We did the AYCE hot pot on a Friday night. Good food variety and selection and particularly appreciated being able to choose a fixed number of items from the appetizer menu. I give them 3 stars for 2 main reasons: 1) Needing to flag down a person to order was difficult on that Friday night. Probably because it was busy, but that's where I appreciated the iPad order system that another Hot Pot place uses. 2) We picked the individual pot option and the only seating for that is a long table (seating around 20 people), so effectively we had a share tables with strangers on both side, which I did not prefer. read more

First of all, service was great, but I'm here with you today to tell you about the fatty brisket. There are many adjectives in the English language, but none to express the pure greatness of this beef. This brisket was the first thing I ate, and the last thing on my mind. I'm just leaving now, but I'm sure I will dream about this formerly mooing goodness for years and years to come. I truly cannot tell you in the blabs of letters in our English lexicon just the beautiful taste of this meat. Thank you for reading my review, and thank you, hot pot legend, for supplying this fantastic food. read more

Loved the hot pot so much! Make sure to get seats in the sides of the restaurant because the middle can get quite cold since it's in front of the entrance. I got the chicken hot pot with chicken broth and added in dumplings. I loved the lighting but the tables and seats were a bit stickey and once wr got the food no one came to service us until after 10 minutes of waiting, we called out for service. read more

Upon arrival we were told it'd be a 25-30 minute wait by Sophia. About an hour and forty five minutes later, we were seated and told that last call would be in the next few minutes. Last call for drink and food. Thankfully, the food was awesome. I had the pork bone broth, pork belly and ramen with pork dumplings and it was delicious! The waitress we had was great and apologized for our ridiculous wait and the owner apologized too and checked on us several times. I would have given 5 stars if the front of house would've been more honest about the wait & seating issues, or at least didn't roll her eyes and avoid us when we asked about our table. read more

I typically do not leave this kind of review, but this place was a huge disappointment for someone who is an avid enjoyer of hot pot. The only good thing about this place is the broth - if you like spicy, they offer extra spicy for the Sichuan broth. So why the low review? We were a table of four, however, the portion sides were extremely small. I understand it is to eliminate waste of food, but this was a bit ridiculous. Two of us were able to eat while the other two waited or each of us took one or two slices of meat. We had to constantly wait/call for our waiter to get more orders in. No, he was not busy; just not proactive. The quality of the food was mid, subpar to other AYCE places. Overall, I'm glad my friends and I tried this place and got our curiosity out of the way, but we will not be coming back. read more

We had hot pot for Linner (lunch/Dinner) I love spicy food but I don't think I was ready for this one, this what they call medium they have 2 other levels hotter that this. I had a beef base broth and my daughter had a chicken base broth (not pictured). They gave us a vegetarian sign because I told them we don't eat pork (this was a sign for them not to bring any meats without asking us first). We had a lot of looks from other customers as the table was marked vegetarian and everything we had was meat The service was great and everyone was super polite and helpful, very attentive staff. -- at Hot Pot Legend. read more

I'm in love with this place. Been twice. It's the kind of place you want to take others to try. I would give it a 5, but unfortunately the service isn't that great. If you were a first timer you'd be udderly confused because the wait staff does not do a great job explaining how it works. They also seem to avoid you at all costs once they have taken your initial order. So for those who have never been, essentially think of it like if Fondue and Korean BBQ had a baby. I highly recommend doing the ALL you can eat for $30/per person and at least do 2 different kinds of broth. If you like spicy then definetely get the Szechuan. My personal fave is the Kimchi, but I like the mushroom broth too. I also recommend waiting till the end to do noodles. Focus on proteins and veggies early on then end with noodles so you don't fill up on them. I love all the little sides you get and I also love their is a sauce station where you can mix your own sauces. I will absolutely be coming back and bringing others with me. read more

Hands down best hot pot in the DMV. No other hot pot compares. Each broth has its own unique flavor. Every other hot pot place you find will refill your soup with only one bland no tasting soup. Other hot pot places you need to add sauce to the soup to make it taste good. Hot pot legend, each soup is good by itself, you don't have to tweak it to taste good. Their side dishes are authentic and delicious, their fried chicken is great, fried rice good, milk tea is good. Can't go wrong here. read more
