    Ramen/veggies from the buffet bar, spicy broth, and sauce
    Stephanie C.

    All-you-can-eat hot pot that's decent, but leaves room for improvement. Located in a strip mall, so there's plenty of parking. No reservations, but we were seated immediately around 6pm on a Friday evening. Service, 2.5/5 The service was passable, but not particularly welcoming or attentive. After being seated, we grabbed items from the self-serve station, and when we returned, our soup pots were placed on the stoves, but the burners hadn't been turned on. It took a moment to realize this, and we ended up turning it on ourselves and had to wait quite a while before we could actually start cooking. Staff didn't check on us often, and while meat orders were eventually fulfilled, items like the beef short ribs took longer than expected. We tried to time our orders, but ended up waiting idly between servings. Meats The variety isn't huge, but there's enough to satisfy most diners. The standout for us was the beef short rib - tender and flavorful. Self-serve/sauce stations There's a solid spread of vegetables, beef meatballs, ramen, seafood, and a standard but well-stocked sauce bar. Nothing out of the ordinary, but everything was fresh and well presented. The cold station was a little awkward to navigate as it was more of a vertical/beverage fridge setup, so only one person can really comfortably grab items at a time - it would've been nicer as buffet-style. Soup bases Many - over 10 broth - options, which is more than most places. We tried the Chinese Herbal, Spicy, and Tonkatsu. Chinese herbal: Excellent and authentic (approved by a Taiwanese native). Spicy: A miss. Overloaded with chewy, flavorless chunks of Szechuan peppercorns. Tonkatsu: Overly salty and a bit unbalanced. Ambience/layout, 2/5 The setup feels cramped and lacks privacy. The dividers between tables are low, so you can see and hear everything going on next to you. The 4-person table design also makes it awkward for those seated inside to get out - especially if the neighboring table is full. On the plus side, the space is well ventilated - you don't walk out smelling like hot pot, which is rare. Overall 3/5 A decent broth variety and ingredients, but service and layout could use significant improvement. Worth checking out if you're in the area and craving hot pot, but it's not a must-visit.

    I'd say one of these best hot pot spots in Colorado. Huge selection of broth. I was surprised by the Chinese herbal soup. It had a strong ginseng flavor and really warming on a cold winter day. Fresh selection of seafood, meat and has a sauce bar. Highly recommend !

    So we finally made it to Hot Pot Spot. It's so close to us and this is a new hot spot place we will add in our rotation. The other hot spot place nearby is very busy and the lines are kinda crazy so this will be a nice alternative. I like that there is an open bar for veggies. Sometimes they never give us enough or too much so it's nice to be able to pick our own quantity (sometimes, we only want one pumpkin). I will say the meat quality is better than a lot of places. They're cut very thin. The ribeye cut was probably our favorite of the meat orders. Soup choices were good but they were lighter in flavor. It was very faint. I would like a stronger broth. Overall, it's not bad. Wait was roughly 10-20 minutes.

    Love to see more Asian spots up north. Starting to see sushi places, miscellaneous Asian restaurants and now hot pot! Service is great and selection is wonderful for hot pot ingredients. Where they fall short is providing customers with traditional Chinese BBQ that is found just about anywhere but here. Then again if you pick the right soup base you really don't need any sauce to dip. I chose the spicy broth which elevated much of the items I tossed in there. They even offer udon or even ramen to toss in your individual hot pots. Kids may even find it fascinating to watch water boil. haha. The restaurant can get loud so beware for any noise sensitive people and when you're done with your meal hop next door to boba. That'd be a perfect combination right there! My big suggestion would be to offer some kind of reservation system since many people that were waiting around us were gravitating towards the door and nearly leaving when we were hanging out for 5-10 minutes. This is certainly a popular place and kudos for offering up variety of this sort!

    After countless years of wanting to try a place like this, today is the first time I've ever eaten hot pot and it was everything I could have hoped for and more! The area is fairly new and very conveniently located off of I-25 in Thornton; parking is pretty ample and is shared by a small strip of businesses, though I would keep parking in mind if you're planning a Friday night date or some other busy tjme. We went in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and had no trouble. We were seated right away and had the menu and ordering process explained to us, which was helpful. There are nine different broths to choose from, and for an extra few bucks you can make any of them spicy (I would assume except for the already spicy broth lol). I got spicy and my boyfriend ended up with tonkotsu. And, since it was a Sunday, they were working off the dinner menu all day, so we were able to choose from any of the meats for our meal when normally the brisket, short rib, and sirloin are only available during dinner Monday through Friday. We chose the fatty beef, brisket, and the short rib this time and then loaded up on various veggies and accoutrements to round out our meal. The experience was amazing! The tables are obviously equipped with hot plates, but I was so impressed by how quickly those things boiled the broth and doubly impressed by the speed everything cooked. All the ingredients were super fresh and the selection of vegetables, seafoods, and sauces was immense, so there are undoubtedly options for any preferences. For two people, the dinner price came out to about $70; I think that getting multiple rounds of meats/sides and actually taking advantage of the all you can eat makes the process very reasonable. Since it was just the two of us and we only had an extra trip each for a few more vegetables, the price was a bit on the high side but still worth it for the experience. I will 100% be back here to try all the different menu items and am pretty sure I found my new hyper fixation food lol.

    I love hot pot. I was skeptical about this place, but I really haven't driven up to many restaurants in Thornton, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity. My friend and I were seated immediately, though it was pretty packed on a random weekday evening. We ordered our own individual broths. I got whatever spicy option was available, for masochistic reasons. Lots of meat, seafood, and veggie options. My friend claims his go-to spot in Aurora has more, but I really didn't need more than what they had. I mostly go to hot pot for the fish balls and imitation crab, but that's just me. Throw in some noodles and veggies (and order meat) for a well-rounded meal. Lively vibes and spacious. Would come here again!

    Came here as a party of 8 and we were seated pretty quick considering it was dinner time. The place is really nice and clean and they had a great selection of different broth flavors to choose from as well as cuts of meat. I got the Chinese herbal broth which was light and had some jujubes and lots of goji berries along with some other herbs. I also had a taste of the canh chua broth and it was good, however a tip is to ask the staff for extra tamarind powder and the spice block to make your canh chua even more flavorful and tangy! You can request as many orders of meat you want since it is AYCE and then the rest is self serve! They had a good selection of veggies, seafood, noodles, and more. The sauce bar is also full of variety. I think the service can be a hit or miss depending on who it is. We had one staff member that seemed pretty indifferent and kind of glossed over us, but we also had some really responsive and attentive staff members as well! I think this place is great for people who want to try hot pot. Although I do wish they had a bit more variety with their add ins because I've been to other malatang places with a greater selection, I think what they had is plentiful and more than enough to cater to each individual's preferences!

    Everything was great! Restaurant is very clean and staff is friendly, fast and attentive. Food was all fresh and delicious! We'd definitely go back!

    I was excited to try this style restaurant, and I wasn't let down! My wife and I came in sat down quickly, and after setting up the all you can eat choice meats and got our broth cooking in front of us it was time to select the ingredients. With a wide variety of fresh vegetables and herbs, noodles, proteins, spices, ... I had a mountain of stuff to boil into my broth. The only problem was we didn't know where to start or how to even eat it. But looking around and asking our kind server, it was rather simple. Boil and eat whatever you like. Add as much spice as you'd like, try everting or nothing. You control how much you eat and how adventurous you can be. I was fully satisfied and am looking to go back and have fun again.

    Is this place all u can eat?

    Yes, for the broth and ingredients that are not meat. You get one round of your choice of meats, then if you want more afterwards there is a price.… 

    Potentially a silly question, but is it ramen only or do they offer other things like say rice bowls or other entrees? Looking to go but like one person on the green bubble they have their preferences that of course clashes with the rest of the group

    Itʻs an ACE place and yes they have rice. There are mumerous noodle choices from thin to fat one & different styles, and a huge rice pot you can scoop as much rice you want, although bowls are small. I eat the rice & grab 4 small bowls.

Ordered takeout and customer service was outstanding. Portions are large so this place is excellent value. Rated from least favorite dish to most: Shrimp pad thai was nutty and rich and the shrimp was well seasoned. The sauce was a little bit too sweet for my taste. Beef lo mein was a really generous ratio of beef to noodle. Lots of meat and it was very tender and flavorful. Noodles were fractionally too soft for my preference but I really enjoyed this dish. Cream cheese wontons were better than most. The wonton was delicate rather than thick and oily and the cream cheese filling was not too sweet. The Chinese mustard was perfect but the sweet and sour sauce had an odd spice I can't put my finger on. Kung pao chicken was absolutely fire. Crunchy veggies and tender chicken and spicy sauce and crunchy peanuts. Delicious. Vietnamese coffee, freshly made and not cloyingly sweet. The perfect ratio of coffee to condensed milk. I would come back for the coffee every day if I could. I will definitely order from here again!
