Hotpot One is a very pleasant, mid-priced AYCE hot pot restaurant. It features a very large and well stocked veggy bar, where you can go up and fill your own plate with some of 50-70 non-meat items. Actually, besides veggies, you can also get meat balls and small sausages, as well as stuff like Inoki mushrooms, "cloud ear" fungus, etc. The selection is pretty big, Then there is a sauce bar where you make your own hotpot dipping sauce. From the menu, you can order all the meats you want. They pretty much have all the items you would expect from a Chinese hotpot restaurant in the Boston or Quincy area. The meats you order come fast, and you can cook them up in your personal sized hotpot. Between the quick service for the meats and your own ability to refill with any veggies you want, you are almost always eating, and you spend almost no time waiting,. All veggies and meats were well presented, fresh, and tasty. Of interest, this restaurant uses robot waiters to help the human ones. So while you are waiting for the meats you ordered, you will often find a robot cart silently rolling up to your table. As soon as this happens, a waitress will quickly appear next to the robot and hand-carry all your plates of meats from the cart to your table.. This is super useful because sometimes the robot cart will be carrying 15-20 dishes, far more than a single waiter or waitress can carry. So this isn't just a gimmick, but a useful tool that speeds up service. I've gone to Hotpot One a total of 3 times, and my dining experience has been consistent and good. I would consider it one of the better places in the Quincy area to have a nice AYCE hotpot dinner,. read more

Very spacious, love that they offer both JBBQ and hot pot options. Sometimes workers were a bit slow to replace the grill/meats, but it was quite busy, can sit many at once. They have a birthday song and dessert that is fun. Would come back with a group for special occasion, especially since it's one of the few Asian spots around the area read more

This was the perfect cure to a cold winter day! There are two options - buffet is 27$ and AYCE with meat is 40$. Honestly both are worth it - there's a lot of great meat options - crab and lamb but as a vegetarian I think the regular buffet makes more sense. I got the tom yum soup which was vegan broth! And loved all the tofu and veggie options read more

I came here with a friend. The restaurant's interior is clean and modern. Servers are knowledgable and nice. The hotpot place is set for individual stove (1 person 1 pot), don't expect your traditional yin yang pot that can have 2 different broth in the same pot. This feels more like personalized hot pot experience. I like this idea. We ordered the AYCE with ChongQing spicy soup base and coconut chicken soup base. Spicy soup base is not as spicy as I would like but still okay. They have wide selection of ingredient for the sauce. They also have seafood options like mussels, fish meatballs, imitation crab sticks on the buffet area for your choosing. Overall, it's bang for the buck here if you want to eat hot pot. read more

I've been dying to try this place out because they serve dimsum and hotpot. Unfortunately, I missed the dimsum serving hours so I didn't get to have the full experience. However, the hotpot made up for it. I got the ChongXing broth, which was a very spicy mala broth. Although it was super spicy, the broth was also very flavorful. My husband got the coconut broth, very unique. I believe the owner(?) came out to bring us the whole coconut, added the coconut juice into the broth, and brought out the coconut meat for us to try. I thought it was strange, but when we tried it, we actually liked it. I never would've thought to put coconut meat into my hotpot. The flesh is soft and the flavor is very subtle, similar to Napa cabbage. Their vegetable and noodles bar is so spacious. And they also have a soft serve machine! There was vanilla ice cream and also strawberry ice cream. The strawberry was very fruity and sour, and the texture is similar to dole whip. I liked it a lot. The vanilla is good too with the same texture. Service is very punctual and our meat gets brought out by a cute little robot. I hope to come back and try the dimsum next time around! read more

I had won a gift certificate for this restaurant so I came to pick it up while I was dining in. The owner came by and essentially chucked it at me instead of handing it to me so that wasn't the greatest start to my meal. This kind of gesture from a manager was very off putting. I was shocked that this restaurant didn't have any kind of bone broth. I generally love choosing a pork bone or tonkotsu broth but there wasn't any so I opted for an herbal broth. The broth was quite tasteless and they didn't provide us with any spoons to sip the broth. My whole experience I felt like I was just eating boiled meat. I love having a bowl of soup to eat my noodles, meat and veggie out of but they only provided us with a plate. This really killed my experience. The highlight of this place is the meat (beautifully marbled) and robot! It is so cute. It brings food to your table so quickly. The beef and pork belly was nice BUT the beef tongue had a very funky smell to it. The first serving I got was great but the next one had a very unpleasant smell. Wouldn't come back. A lot of improvement is needed at this restaurant. read more

All you can hot pot buffet. Parking on the street or at the lot across the street. Decent size and service was kind and efficient for the most part. We continued to order the tiny eye and beef belly, slightly small portions for one person but it's all you can eat so that's good. On a weekend for dinner at $45. The cold bar had a lot of variety for fish balls and veggies. For large tables you still get your own burner which I love! read more

This is a review for the dim sum offerings at Hotpot One. (It is available from opening to 3:00 pm. Then it switches to a hot pot buffet.) I must say I am pleasantly surprised about how good the dim sum are. It is better than Ming's and slightly below Winsor in terms of quality. You order a la carte (list of 58 items) and they will bring the food to you. They also have a picture menu with the top 30 most popular items. I recommend the beef balls, the har gow, siu mai, and the chicken claws with black bean. The beef rice rolls are not good. Service is sufficient and friendly. In terms of the atmosphere, it is quiet enough to have a conversation without yelling across the table. They cover the hotpot burners with a canvas tablecloth so that dining guests can use the tables to eat dim sum. They actually offer a choice of tea like any of the dim sum places. Most tables are individual booths that seat 4-6 people with several private rooms that guests can reserve for celebrations. A handicap accessible bathroom: one for men and one for women are available on the first floor. There is a small parking lot across the restaurant (next to Mochinut/Onezo). I will definitely come again if a dim sum craving hits and I don't want to wait for long lines at Winsor! read more

Hotpot One - A sampling of dim sum - har gow, siu mai, chicken claws, minion buns with red bean, fried dough rice rolls, and dry fried beef noodles - Hot Pot Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I know I said I won't come back here but now they offered dim sum from 10am -3pm, I decided to come to try it since it is same as the Dynasty restaurant in Chinatown. The place was empty and we came at 11am. The door still locked even they opened at 10am, the staff was just seating in front of the door playing on their phones. The staff can do better even the place was empty, some booth seats are still dirty from the day before since they offered hot pot for dinner and the bathroom floor still not clean. The price is a little lower than Ming restaurant, if you want regular dim sum, this can be another choice. Now they only offered hot pot after 4pm... read more

Quincy with another AYCE hotpot place. You know I had to give it a try lol They recently just raised their price from $33.99 to $36.99. That's if you get AYCE with the meats and seafood. I believe it's $26.99 for AYCE without the meats and seafood. Let's start with the restaurant itself. Nice, clean, spacious. Parking is only street parking. Now to the food. -The buffet bar selection is decent. They have all the basics that you normally have for hotpot. A plus for me is that they have New Zealand mussels and bean curd rolls. Disappointed they removed the white dumpling ball with green stripes (fish roe inside). Honestly, if they brought that back as a selection, I may consider coming back. -the meats were really good actually. It seemed fresh. Each order comes with 7-8 pieces. I don't think there was a limit to how much you can order. Seafood combo had a rock crab, 3 shrimps, white fish, and two clams. (This is all part of the AYCE meats and seafood). -broth was pretty decent. I opted to get the herbal broth because our son of course, joined us for dinner he's starting to become a hotpot lover like his parents. My wife had the spicy broth (mala kinda). That was pretty good. Regret we didn't try the Tom yum or kimchi but maybe next time for sure. -Oh, they have a sauce bar that's ok. The peanut sauce and sesame sauce were really plain. Like watered down... I was disappointed. My second complaint about this restaurant is... the individual pots that you have, it's really small. This place is set up similar to Spring Shabu . I couldn't really cook much at once. Like my crab didn't fit with the mussels so cooking time is a little slower. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here. I wouldn't consider this first compared to the other AYCE places in Quincy. Service was decent because there were probably only 5-6 parties there with 3 waitresses. The meats were brought out really fast because I'm assuming they cut these in advance, prep, and left in the fridge till order. Give this place a shot! read more

Hotpot One offers all you can eat hotpot, with options to get no meat all you can eat (vegetables, fish balls, noodles, etc) or all you can eat, which includes meats and everything else. There are a couple meats that aren't including in the all you can eat and have an additional fee, ribeye and lamb. Hotpot One was a great experience and is similar to Spring Shabu in Allston/Brighton! In some ways, this place is better than Spring Shabu, such as the all you can eat meats option. The variety offered for vegetables and noodles are not as great as Spring Shabu, but gets the job done. The have a nice sauce bar that has just about all of the condiments most other hotpot places offer. The star of the show, for me, was the clams! They were huge and continued to be consistent in size after ordering 4 rounds of the clams. For the price of the AYCE, I would say that it is super worth it to come here, with family or a big group, or even by yourself. P.S., I would double check the receipt when asking for the bill because they did make a mistake with charging extra additional charges. We had ordered four plates of the lamb and ribeyes but were charged extra for other things. My friends who I came here with have eaten here multiple times previously and said they experience the extra charges every time, so I would suggest double checking the bill before paying! Otherwise, I totally recommend coming here for the AYCE! Super similar to that of Spring Shabu but is convenient to have in the Quincy area. read more

Hot Pot One improved a lot since they first opened about 10 months ago. I visit about once a week for their hot pot since it is much closer than heading all the way to Boston and it is the best in Quincy. The broths are flavorful and meats are good. I love that I can go to the veggies, noodles, and meat/fish ball buffet stations and get as much or little as I want as my serving size. Their vegetables are so fresh! I also like that they have private rooms so that we can have work meetings over lunch or dinner. Because the space was converted from an office building to a restaurant, the space is new and clean. The decor looks inviting and elegant. Today, I tried their dim sum and we were thoroughly impressed. They taste amazing! This is my go to place for gatherings because of the elegance and inviting atmosphere, good value, free parking, and incredible food! read more

Good variety, good buffet and ambience. The servers both human and robots were great.

Been here twice now and all I can say is this place is awesome! The food on the buffets is super fresh, the greens are really plenty, root vegetables, fish balls, and mushrooms galore. I love the multitudes of soup bases available but my favorite is the hot and sour base. The meats are top quality. Service is outstanding and for a biggest the ambience is pretty good. A little on the bright side for me but honestly they do such a good job cleaning they might as well show it off. I think this is the best Hotpot I've ever been to. I always walk out stuffed. Amazing place. read more

A new AYCE hotpot in North Quincy. It's clean and spacious and $23 weekdays and $25 weekend per person. Price includes broth and everything at the bar (mainly veggies, noodles, seafood/beef balls). Extra cost if you want to add meats and seafood. Our server was very nice and they even have cute robots to deliver your broth and meats. I ordered the spicy soup broth and it was spicy so just be cautious on the spice level. We ordered ribeye and beef belly but we preferred beef belly over ribeye. We left smelling like hotpot but we were very full and happy! Will definitely go back again. read more

Came here for the first time on Thursday and was able to get a seat quickly. The restaurant was very spacious and looked very clean. We did the ayce hotpot and had a good amount of meat and seafood to choose from that is delivered to you as you ordered. The veggies, fish balls, noodles, fruits, sauce, and various items are set up buffet style for you to get anytime you want. There were sovmany variety, i am unable to list it all. A table has 6 individual hotpot, so even with a group, you can have your own personal one. I got the tomato broth, and it was very flavorful. The meat and seafood were fresh and were pretty good. I especially liked the prime, beef belly, beef tongue, clams, and shrimp. Definitely would come back whenever I am craving a good hotpot meal. read more

Really enjoyed the fresh crab and all the veggies. Individual size hotpot soups. The robots bought out the food. It was good time for AYCE.

Having never been to a hot pot before, I jumped at the chance while in Quincy. I like spicy food alot. the waitress recommended a spicy sauce, and away we went. In the end, there were alot of peppers and the heat was great. However ,there was so much ginger that it completely ruined the flavor of all of the moderate food like quail eggs, mushrooms, noodles etc. I will not be back as it was disgusting. read more

My partner and I got AYCE hotpot w tomato soup and hot & sour soup - TASTE: 4/5 - savored the sweet tomato base and the balance of spicy & sour in my soup base, the latter providing enough flavor that I didn't need my dipping sauces. Highlights included the meat ball selections and, for meats, the lamb shoulder and beef tongue TEXTURE: 4/5 - the lettuce, watercress, mushrooms, and tofu were my favorite. The ice cream (strawberry, vanilla, and combo swirl) had a texture more like sorbet, which honestly felt lighter and perfect for post-meal PRICE: 4/5 - $35.99pp for AYCE on weekdays is solid SERVING SIZE: 5/5 - AYCE is great, but having the option to select specific items and quantities yourself at the buffet is even better. The personal/individual hotpot allows control of your own food vs. sharing a large hotpot at the center of the table. Left stuffed of course SERVICE: 3/5 - walked in at 5:45pm on a Sunday and only one other party was inside. By the time we left, almost every table was filled. Felt like a long time in between the staff refilling our water and clearing empty plates from our table. Also noticed that a couple plates and bowls among the stacks at the buffet still had some broth residue ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - was surprised by the amount of space inside, as well as the modern interior and decor. This was the first time I've seen multiple robots busily moving about, which almost competed w the amount of children running laps around inside PARKING: 4/5 - got a free 2-hour parking spot down the block on Holmes St read more

All you can eat hotpot spot in Quincy. Choose your broth, and then head to the buffet to make your sauce at the sauce bar. Choose from veggies, mushrooms, noodles, and fish balls. You pay the base price for the buffet, and then pay a la carte for any extra meat and seafood. There's actually a robot who helps to bring the meat and seafood around, but the servers are also very attentive and help you with refilling broth, clearing plates, etc. read more

Overall it was ok, pretty big and clean space. Service could've been a little more attentive especially with the portion that is given when you're ordering meats and seafood. Broth is typical, there was nothing that stood out that is better than other ayce hotpot places in the area. The only thing that threw me off was that their ice cream was more of a sorbet than a soft serve but if you're in the area and is craving for some ayce hotpot, then I suggest to try it out. read more

This newly opened hotpot place is similar to Spring Shabu Shabu with their buffet style set-up, it's AYCE for fresh vegetables, tofu, noodles, condiments, and frozen fish balls etc. Meat and seafood is not part of the AYCE, it's al la carte. There is no vegetarian broth available... but you can make your own with condiments (soy sauce, diced garlic, spicy sauces etc) and vegetables (that's what I did). The price per person is under $30 for AYCE (not including meat / seafood). My friend and I enjoyed this place, good ambiance and friendly staff. This place is very new, so there will be obviously be some kinks that they need to work on. There is a robot server and also an ice cream machine (this isn't in use yet). [Edit - 1/29/2023] They now have one vegetarian soup available, it's tom yum (and a heads-up they have tomato broth but it's not vegetarian). And the ice cream machine has 2 flavors, strawberry sherbet and vanilla (the middle button dispenses both flavors together)... not sure if they occasionally change up the flavors. read more

Hotpot One - Price as of Nov 2024 - Hot Pot Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

So glad this new hot pot buffet just opened! Now I can eat buffet closer to home compared to traveling to Spring shabu. The price for weekday buffet is $23 and weekend $25 per person excluding meat and seafood options. There was a good amount of choice for food, but the meat selection/cut was ok not that good. I still think Spring shabu has more food options, but for the price and convenience I think this place is not too bad. Service was quick and good, no complaints. It was not too busy, but not too quiet. Probably because it just opened literally a few weeks ago. Place looks very modern and has a private room if you have a big family. Not bad to give it a try! read more

It's located in the corner of the center of Quincy Center and it's less than a 15 min walk if you decide to commute like we did. Their variety of soup bases are impressive and so was their buffet bar. The one thing that I think is great about hotpot is that whatever diet you are on, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The waitresses were attentive making sure that we have a full pot of broth and the ingredients from the vegetables from the buffet bar to the meats were fresh. It was the perfect meal for a cold day, especially these months where it's freezing. I will say the only feedback I have is that their menu says "ice cream" and they have cones which was confusing, because they serve sorbet, because it is icy, which personally I wasn't a fan of, because even then the flavor was too light. It was a bit of a bummer because I know my favorite part of a buffet includes desserts and it may make/break the experience for some. They do have cut fruit like oranges, cantaloupe, and even red bean filled sesame balls. Overall though it is still a reliable hotpot buffet spot. I would say the price point is reasonable and they have multiple buffet options from AYCE to their standard which have limited options. They accommodate families, large parties, and have children prices depending on their height. The fact that they have different price points for heights is great if you have children, because I know a lot of buffet spots make you pay almost full price, despite children not eating as much as an adult. read more

Foods are okay, nothing extraordinary. The cost is what bothers me. The staffs are friendly but have difficulty to get a hold of them.

We really enjoyed this new hot pot place in Quincy. They were super busy on a Friday night so we were placed in a private room downstairs and away from the crowds with another family. It was a bit odd at first but our server was so attentive and great. We enjoyed the individual soup pots. I wish they also offer just house or pork bone broths instead of flavors only for those who would like a nice base, and for the kids. But the broths we got were great. Tomyum, Tomato, and Spicy Broth. We got all the meats and seafood. The selections of veggies, tofu, meatballs, and noodles were great. And the bonus was the softserve ice-cream we got as a dessert. Would come back again. read more

Spacious - service was "ok" - we had no idea what to do or if we should wait before we go up or if we was suppose to order first, they just assume you know what you're doing. has potential, good selection of veggies and other stuff with the AYCE selection but broth and sauce bar needs work. I feel like the sauce and broth makes or break the meal. unfortunately my friends and I weren't impress. read more
