    Hot pot spread
    Marianne M.

    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!

    Chinese Herbal broth

    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!

    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.

    AYCE Hot Pot. Came here on a Sunday without a reservation and they were able to seat up right away. Most tables fit 4 of less people. Make a reservation if you are going to be large then that. For people who have never been you boil your meat and veggie in the broth. The sauces options were great. It you have never been here is a pretty basic hot pot sauce. (Sesame paste, garlic, chili oil, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cilantro, and sesame oil). I did take off one star because they are missing some staple Hot Pot noodles and veggies. (enoki mushrooms, and tofu noodles). Also, at most other hot pot places they will give you long tongs or chopsticks to avoid raw meat contamination. With all that being said, I really enjoyed eating here and highly recommend. Overall 4/5!

    Mmmmm this one was freaking delicious too!!! Set up the same way as the one in auroa. You also have like 9 broths to choose from. I chose the spicy one and let me tell you if you can't handle spicy then don't choose this one cause it's spicy as hell! But I freaking loved it! Next you chose 3 meats and we choose brisket, rib eye and pork belly all were amazing. We did try the lamb which I didn't care for it was kind of tough and just gamey! Then next we made our sauces and chose whatever sides we wanted to cook w our meats and they also had a plethora of sea foods and so many noodles and veggies. There was so much to choose from. Our server was super friendly but the male servers were not so much they were very cocky and just not help full at all. The bathrooms were quite disgusting and had no toilet paper or paper towels to wash your hands. They could have done better on that aspect. Also they didn't have a wide variety for drinks and they also didn't offer any alcohol drinks which was kind of disappointing. The building was quite small so if you had to wait in line you didn't know where to wait tbh and if you was waiting you was impeding on someone's table which was awkward and felt quite rude. Overall it was a nice experience but I prefer the one in aurora just because it was a lot more open space and must more cleaner and all the staff was friendly not just some.

    things on the plate all from the self-serve bar. there's crawdad under those tofu skills (google told us to boil for 3 mins max)

    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.

    This is genuinely the BEST hotpot I've ever had. And trust me, I don't say that lightly because…read moreI've tried quite a few hotpot spots around Colorado and honestly left disappointed almost every single time. Either the broths lacked flavor, the meats weren't fresh enough, or the overall experience just didn't live up to the hype. At one point I genuinely thought maybe hotpot in Colorado just wasn't for me. But my friends, who absolutely LOVE this place and come here all the time, basically forced me to give it a try, and wow, I'm so glad they did. From the first bite, I could immediately tell this place was different. The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting in a way that makes you want to keep eating even after you're already full. Everything tasted fresh, high quality, and actually well-prepared. The meats, veggies, noodles, and sides all complemented each other perfectly, and the whole experience just felt cozy and satisfying. Another thing that really stood out to me was the service. Every server I've interacted with here has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They genuinely make the experience even better because the atmosphere feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. You can tell they care about making customers feel comfortable and taken care of. Now it's literally all I think about whenever the weather starts getting cool outside. Like the second there's even a slight chill in the air, this place immediately comes to mind. It's become one of those comfort meals that you randomly crave late at night because nothing else compares. The kind of food that warms you up completely and makes you leave feeling happy and full. Honestly, this place changed my opinion on hotpot in Colorado completely. If you've been disappointed by other hotpot spots around here like I was, PLEASE give this one a chance because it is on a completely different level.

There was five of us and we came in about 10 minutes before 4pm, trying to get the lunch special. After being notified that they changed the rules for it now and once 4pm hits the price changes so you could no longer get the lunch special continuing through your time. After being sat down and now ordering dinner, this was the worst experience by far since I've been here. The place was empty, probably 2 to 3 tables aside from ourselves. We placed our original order and everything came except the meat. After about 20 minutes later, our server checked in with us, and I had to notify her that there was no meat and it did not come. She apologized and said she will order it for us manually. Continuing on later, we placed another order to re-up on food and that meat did not come as well. Waiting another 20 minutes, our server checked in again later and had to order meat for us. We spent more time waiting for the meat, then actually enjoying our food. When explaining this to the manager and expressing how saddened we were with our visit. We just wanted this to be enjoyable. She offered us 10% off to assist with poor service. I said we often get 20% off coupons via text and it I have one that just expired 2 days ago and asked it be honored. She declined and informed me 10% is more than fair for the troubles we had. This was a very horrible experience and we will no longer be returning here or recommending KPOT to anyone.

I'm finding this side dish hard to find amongst Kbbq establishments for some reason. Large portions and lots of options among this menu. My favorite was the Short ribs (limit 2 piece per person). The thick and juicy cuts were amazing. Rich and fatty, 2 pieces were more than enough for me. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff checked in with us frequently to change out our grill and see if we wanted to order more. The only thing was our table did not receive scissors to cut the short rib with. I asked two servers if they could provide us with them though we never received them. It made the dish a bit difficult to eat, but all in all a good experience. The sushi was ok but main attraction was the large portions and roomy seating, which left me comfortably full after a few rounds of ordering.
