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!

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!

Chinese Herbal broth
Kathy T.

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!

Mushroom, spices, veggies, beef broth.
Manny P.

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.

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.

We ordered a pound of shrimp w/ heads, pound of snow crab and a pound of king crab with all in sauce and hot! It was very delicious, lots of flavor and very good spice level for my Mexican taste buds the snow crab was our fave! We also ordered the chicken fried rice and Cajun fries - the fried rice was excellent! Very well seasoned and I ate it to cool down my mouth from the spicy boil I would definitely come here just to order some fried rice. My partner was raving about how tender the chicken was. The Cajun fries came out hot and crispy we added the Cajun seasoning they had on the table and I really liked their sauce that came with the fries! Overall was a great experience, I would have appreciated a second refill on my soda but that's all I can complain about . This place will be my go to place for seafood now! I recommend %

I so wanted to be able to leave a good review, but alas, this was very disappointing. Asian cuisine…read moreand Cajun cuisine are both known for bold flavors and seasoning. Asian Cajun has neither. $20 for the fried oyster platter: the smallest flavorless oysters ever, obviously bought from SISCO, and a small handful of Cajun fries that I needed to dunk in ketchup, and if I need to use ketchup on your fries, that is a very bad sign, as I rarely use ketchup. I know from talking to the owner that the fries are $4 and you get a small handful. $16 for a soft shell crab basket: The difference between a basket and a platter is that the basket does not come with fries. These were small, overcooked, super oily crabs that tasted okay when dipped in their remoulade sauce. But nothing a Cajun or an Asian would say was seasoned properly. $50 for 3lbs of crawfish boil: I got the "all in" sauce, but could not taste any garlic, lemon, or Cajun seasoning. This is Prime time for Crawfish supposed to be the largest and best crawfish, harvested right now (but these were probably imported frozen from China; the shells were super soft and clung to the meat like previously frozen, cheap crawfish). There were a couple of medium to large crawfish in the bowl, and the rest were tiny, as small or smaller than my pinky finger. When you cook really small crawfish with medium to large crawfish, the little ones get mushy and are very hard to peel, and fall apart with the shell. $5 for added broccoli, which appeared to be frozen, thawed broccoli that turned to mush when cooked with the crawfish. When I got home, I added MSG and Old Bay seasoning to the bag, so hopefully it will taste better later. (I peeled all the crawfish there to make eating later easier and less messy.) You can buy a pound of frozen crawfish tails from Louisiana for $25 and get a ton more meat, much higher quality meat. $3.50 for a Diet Coke and $1.00 per refill. That is criminal pricing for the item on your menu with the highest margin of profit, and they do not tell you beforehand that refills are extra. And the waitress was so reluctant to get me refills, at one point, I had to walk to the counter to get a refill. They were not super busy, but she (the owner) was the only person working the front of the house. Three not very large sodas for $5.50 total... Circle K sells a 44-ounce soda for $1, tax included, and I am sure they still make a profit. Angel (the owner) was super friendly except for when asking for refills, but took a really long time to get back to me for anything. It was nice that she brought the check to the table and took my payment there instead of at the counter, since I walk with a cane. But no amount of friendliness, cleanliness, or nice decor will overcome bad food, especially at these prices.

This was a surprise find!…read more I stopped here to pick up something quick to eat before I headed to my side hustle shift. The Vietnamese food was something I hadn't had in a while so when I realized that this was in the same shopping center as the gym I worked out at I simply couldn't think of anything else. As soon as I stepped inside it a very clean roomy dining room was in front of me. It looked new as there was no old restaurant feel to it. Then a young man quickly came to me to assist. I thus asked for a menu to peruse to which he kindly handed a beautiful booklet. The menu is a fancy booklet type with leather looking covers. In it, almost all the menu items had their accompanying photos. This type of menu truly helps so I could get a good understanding of the food they offer (yes, I'm more of a visual person.) I definitely wanted some healthy choice so when I spotted the Papaya Salad I looked no further (and yet I didn't want to pass the opportunity to eat the Vietnamese food staple, the deep fried Vietnamese Egg Roll so I, without hesitation, added that to my order. The Papaya Salad is/was $13.99 and the Vietnamese Egg Roll (6 piece) is/was $11.95 (as of December 4, 2025.) I placed my order with the same young man who greeted me. The time was still a bit early for the rush dinner hour. The restaurant only had several tables occupied. My food thus came out from the kitchen quite quickly. The bag the young man handed me was quite the weight. Once I was back to my car I immediately investigated what was inside. I was surprised as to how massive the Papaya Salad was! The portion for the Vietnamese Egg Roll was also very generous. I realized that I simply ordered way too much food for myself. I was able to eat only one of the dishes (the Egg Roll) before my shift. The Egg Roll was crispy on the outside. Not too oily or greasy; just the perfect texture. The accompanying noodles on the other end of the container were also delicious; they surely put a generous amount of crushed peanuts all over it (as of this writing, I have not eaten the Papaya Salad but like I said earlier, the portion size is big. And the way it looks is promising where I have no doubt that this dish is as solid as the Egg Roll.) This Vietnamese restaurant is a gem. I tend to get job assignments in this neighborhood here and there so if I end up coming back to this area next time now I know a solid restaurant that I can count on.

Food while traveling is always iffy for me but I lucked out with my order here…read more I can only comment on my to-go order of a combo eggroll bowl which included meatballs, pork, and shrimp. A huge portion, so I was really happy. Some of the best eggrolls I've had in a long time and the shrimp was delicious. I found the meats to be tough because they were sliced so thin. Stick with the shrimp here and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! If you're ordering to go, ask for utensils if you need them as they didn't provide me with anything to eat with!
