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

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!

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.

Dim sum
Michelle L.

Apparently the dim sum was added later to the menu. The flavors and quality weren't too good. The beef udon was ok. The chicken sticky rice in lotus leaf was fine. There were plenty of tables when we walked in on a Sunday early afternoon.

Individual pots

Excellent service and individual broth pots. You can order off menu, all you can eat vegetarian or with meat but everyone has to order the same. There's a full buffet bars that feature vegetables, meatballs, seafood and prepared foods. Rice and a make your own sauce section. Will absolutely go again.

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!

Delicious hotpot with so much variety. Nice service and clean interior. Visiting Boston for a few days and was happy with this dinner decision!

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!

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...

Seafood platter, ribeye meats, and lamb
Lizzie Y.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Totally incongruous with the surrounding environment. Walked in... nothing fancy. Maybe 5 tables. The food was just not good. I had the big wonton soup ( the one with all the extras ). The broth was very bland. The wontons were the nice thin wrappers, but the filling tasted "off". And there was enough noodles in the bowl to make it difficult to eat. I ate a few bites and left the rest. I also ordered the boneless spare ribs. They had a nice cook to them. Nice color. Nice charing. But... just not flavorful, and dry. Very dry.

The lemongrass chicken on rice ($14 w/o tax) is okay. Service is friendly and prompt. There is one bathroom for customer use.

Ground Pork W.preserved Vegetables Clay Pot Rice梅菜肉餅煲仔飯: The English translation is already a bit misleading. This dish should be pork patty with preserved mustard greens, but what was served didn't match either component. First, this was not meicai梅菜(preserved mustard greens). Proper meicai should be dark brown and fibrous even after soaking, whereas this consisted of pale yellow granules, both in appearance and taste much closer to dongcai冬菜 (preserved Chinese cabbages). While dongcai can appear in some clay pot rice dishes, this was clearly not what it should be. Second, this was not a pork patty. The meat was simply loose minced pork scattered on top of the rice, without any mixing or shaping. As a result, it lacked the cohesion, tenderness, and springy texture that define a proper pork patty. There was even a slight sour note, which felt off. Third, the "claypot sauce" was surprisingly slightly viscous, like Singaporean dark soy sauce, and had a strong ginger flavor. I also tried the rice roll sauce; it had a normal soy sauce texture, but the ginger flavor was still very strong, meaning it was still not authentic. Given the stated Taishan background, the lack of traditional structure and technique in this clay pot rice was quite surprising. Compared to Clay Pot Cafe in Boston Chinatown, which offers a way more authentic execution, the difference becomes even more apparent. That said, to be fair, the rice itself was decent: grains were distinct, and there was a noticeable wok aroma. Milk Tea: The old menu called it "Hong Kong style milk tea," while the new menu simply said "milk tea," which seems more accurate. It was bitter at first, then intensely sweet, not fragrant at all--very weird. As someone who grew up in Guangdong, it's honestly frustrating to see it reduced to something so off. If you're looking for an authentic Cantonese clay pot rice experience, this would likely be a disappointing stop.

When I know for a fact that I could cook a stir fry ramen that is ten times better than what I just paid $20 for, there is zero reason to return to your restaurant, and I won't.
