With so many hot pot locations in Flushing, this AYCE location is still one of my favorites that I have been to. It looked like this place only does 1 large pot per table compared to individual pots. You can split the broth up to 3 types. We got the 2-broth split pot with "Liu House Special Soup Base" and "Tomato Soup Base", both were above my expectation in flavor. They have a sauce station that you make yourself and prepped food that is ready to eat such as edamame and seaweed salad. Also, a drink station with water, orange juice, passion fruit juice and iced tea. Everything is ordered on the tablet that is at the table and the staff there are very observing since every time we have an empty plate/dish they would come back and remove it from our table. It came out to $53 per person with tax and tip for an AYCE location that serves higher than average ingredients. Overall I would come back again since I enjoyed it a lot and it is well maintained.

I was looking for a hot pot restaurant that has an AYCE option in Flushing and found Liuyishou. - Three-Flavor Soup Base -- we chose 1/3 premium beef tallow at medium spice level for me + 1/3 mild spice level without beef tallow + 1/3 pork bone broth for my friend I was surprised that the price of the broth is additional to the AYCE price. The broth at medium spice level was flavorful and they had a good selection of meat, seafood and vegetables. Overall, the food and service were good. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Three-Flavor Soup Base -- 1/3 premium beef tallow at medium spice level + 1/3 mild spice level without beef tallow + 1/3 pork bone broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

The soup base is nice as are the veggies but as others have noted the meat cuts aren't great. Felt like very cheap cuts of meat. Also the place is a bit dirty as other reviews have noted. The price is reasonable but it sort of feels overpriced for what you get. My wife and I have visited two other locations of this chain. The one in Princeton, NJ is great but this one and the one in Ottawa, Ontario are just so-so. I asked my wife what she would rate this one. She said "3 and no more Liuyishou Hotpot. Done with them." Wife is from Chongqing and LOVES hot pot, so take that for what it is worth. read more

The $1 bubble tea pitcher was absolutely delicious. I'm not sure if they use condensed milk or something similar, but it's just a bit sweet, no boba and complements the hotpot well. Our party of 3 dropped by around 530pm on a Sunday. No wait. Place looks a little cramped. I'm not sure if we were seated in a 2 person table, but there was not a lot of space even on the table or in the booths. I kept hitting my friend and reached over him to grab food. You place your orders on the iPad and they bring it out in a timely fashion. As others have noted, the broth is not included. So on top of the AYCE, we also ordered the 3 flavored one for an additional $20. I think each individual one was around $14/15. Never had to wait too long for our selections. I feel like they didn't have a lot of options with regard to the meats. We didn't get the beef tongue but ordered the rest (lamb, fatty beef, pork belly), but felt like we were consistently eating the same few options over and over. One thing I did enjoy was how flavorful their broths were! We had the pork bone, tomato, and the duck. I tried all of them, and they were actually like my friend calls it, "the type of soup your mom makes when you're feeling sick". I also had the corn and the skewers option (comes with one piece per person) and the meat was tender!! Delicious. Their sauce station and free juice/tea station is right upon the entrance. read more

One of the last ALL YOU CAN EAT (AYCE) hotpot places left. Food is fresh, and I mean that by the cooked foods, the snacks, the meats, everything! Budweisers are $1 each every day! Soup base is solid and they have some that are not found elsewhere (like, fresh coconut water with chicken and pork stomach. The Cantonese would know how much this would be a staple) Meats: get the FLAT IRON BEEF, it outclasses some wagyu. LAMB SHOULDER. And just try different things! Servers here also speaks Chinese AND English. Contrary to places that only speaks Chinese. One star taken away cos they need to have more veggies. That's my only quip! read more

This is now my favorite Chinese hot pot lunch special place. For just under $30, it includes a soup base and a limited selection of food. The fatty beef is still good quality. There's still a selection of hot appetizer and dessert soup. Good thing is that it comes with soup and you can always add a third broth for $2.99. The golden chicken broth has always been my favorite and must gets. Overall a great lunch spot for a weekday. read more

4.5 stars Nice all you can eat hotpot place with decent prices and good options. It's about $35 per person on the weekend plus the soup base price (about $16). It includes a small appetizers bar, sauce bar, some fruits, and free drinks (iced tea and juices). The passion fruit juice was really good. We had the split pot with tom yum soup and spicy lamb spine. Both are a bit spicy. The tom yum is sour. I prefer the lamb spine. They have a variety of options from meats to seafood to veggies and noodles. There are some that are a la carte. Ordering was easy since it was from a tablet and they were pretty quick. read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 8 This AYCE hot pot franchise has been consistently good over the years. I have been here many times and generally happy with the food and service. Obviously, the quality may not match Haidilao or Chongqing Lao Zhao, but the price is nearly half for as much as you can eat. If your preference is not fresh seafood or high end quality meats, then you really can't go wrong with this veteran hot pot restaurant. You see many hot pot restaurants in Flushing come and go, but this place still stays busy on most nights. As for hot pot broths, I have tried nearly everything. My favorites include their signature spicy, the golden chicken w/ fish maw, the sour duck & radish, and the peppery chicken w/ pig stomach soup bases. Spicy lamb spine and mushroom broths are good too. For must order items, get the lamb slices, six second tofu rolls, napa cabbage, bok choy, shrimp paste, basa fish slices, tofu skin sheets, shiitake mushrooms, quail eggs, and SPAM (yeah, trust me). Btw, don't fill up on appetizers, but their marinated pig ears are surprisingly good. Then, after your hot pot meal, come back to the same counter and get some fruits and desserts, or ask the waiter for some Hersey's ice cream cup. Honestly, it's not the best hot pot in Flushing, but for less than $50 after taxes and tip, this is quite a good deal. read more

While I'm not afraid to admit that Liuyishou is one of my favorite hot pot chains, I can also admit that I'm impressed with how far along this Flushing location has come along. There was a period just before and during the pandemic that this place fell on hard times with service and execution. They've managed to solve a lot of these issues it seems and I couldn't be a happier diner. The space isn't conducive for ultra large groups, so stick to groups of 4 and less. Since the interior is ultra tight, it means the waits can get ultra long during their popular times. I wouldn't encourage calling in, but might be worth it to gauge the wait time. Just know that Mandarin Chinese is close to essential here. The sweet spot for most folks is a combination of good value and high quality. They have managed to do well on both here. The initial price feels a tinge steep but the food is quality enough that unlimited portions feels justified. It goes without saying, the food presentation is always a highlight. Their awesome displays of meat and the soup base bear make every service moment one worth capturing. I truly love all of their broths. The Lin's House Special has premium beef tallow and the Golden Chicken is fragrant and pungent. I think some folks would benefit from the Duck w/Chinese Pickled Radish base since it's poppin with flavor. The basic options of tom yum, tomato, and pork bone broth are also available as well. Throw in a few orders of their sliced marbled beef, wagyu, NZ lamb, and angus beef slices with some random dumplings and that's hot pot heaven for me. I have enjoyed their other pork belly, chicken breast, and other more nuanced parts. The other meat offerings such as shrimp paste, fish balls, pollack balls with roe, beef balls are also quite excellent. Another impressive feat? Becoming one of the more popular spots in spite of the competition, which includes HDL, which is essentially across the street. LYS might take the cake for the more intimate and ultimately, gluttonous experience. My photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/liuyishou-hotpot-flushing?userid=ysCBsXWPB-LAiewVS3jZfQ read more

Delicious Hot Pot restaurant in Flushing! They have an assortment of appetizers including some cold dishes, warm apps and drinks. We got the 3 soup base combination with Golden Chicken, Tomato and Pork Bone. My favorite was the Golden Chicken base which was nice and thick and perfectly flavored. I haven't tried anything like it before. I didn't even have to use my wife's tasty blend of dipping sauces. Just keep in mind that the AYCE price does not include the soup base, which can range from $12-18. The variety of meats, seafood, mushrooms, veggies, tofus and noodles, etc were great as well. The meat was nice and fresh, and my favorite was the beef and lamb slices. They also have ice cream which is great to finish the meal. The only downside is that the service is quite lackluster. The main waiter was crabby and not very nice, but the other waiter helping him out was better. Price is a bit expensive, but you get a lot for your money. Parking is available across the street in a lot, but it is costly. read more

Expeditious delivery once items were ordered to the table. The seafood and beef selections were good, with the shrimp, mussels, and crabs being sizable. The pig brain was unusual but not terrible. The pre-cooked items were tasty, including the pig ear, but perhaps could've offered more variety of items. read more

I came here with a friend on a rainy and cold Wednesday evening. The allures of AYCE hotpot was definitely very appealing given the circumstances. I've been to a Liuyishou branch many years ago in Boston and have had a great experience, so was definitely looking forward to the AYCE experience. There is a set AYCE price per person. You also do have to pay for the broth as well. Once you get past that, the options for the amount of food is amazing. Theres also a sauce station and area for other small fried appetizers and desserts. There's also a juice station should you want that. There is a 90 minute limit, but that's more than enough time as the food comes very quickly. Overall would come back! Love the food and space. I do hear it is often very busy here, so I'm glad we came on a weeknight read more

Good quality food and attentive service. Ambiance is good, kid friendly. Love that they have drinks such as soy milk with grass jelly. My usual go to hotpot spot in Queens! read more

The best Chinese MaLa buffet in Queens! I've been here multiple times over the years, and every time I'm in NYC, I make sure to stop by. Every item is unique and packed with flavor! The last time I went during happy hour, it was only $30 per person--and that included not just meat and hot pot ingredients, but also appetizers and ice cream! I'm obsessed with the sesame balls they were amazing! And the Sichuan MaLa soup is a definite must-try. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Good AYCE hotpot spot with attentive service. We stopped by around 5pm on a Thursday and had no trouble getting a table for two. They provide an iPad for ordering, which sends everything directly to the kitchen, so there's no need to wait for a server to take your order. The food arrived quickly, and everything tasted fresh. We tried the golden chicken broth and the pork bone broth, and both were rich and flavorful. A nice bonus was the complimentary Hershey's ice cream at the end of the meal! The AYCE price is deceptive because it does not include the price of the broth which is another $16 read more

Hotpot meats were fine, but some of the seafood was not fresh and had an overly fishy taste. Unfortunately, the service detracted from the experience - a couple waiters were rude, particularly one wearing glasses. The restaurant itself felt dirty, and many of the small dishes included in the AYCE offering were depleted by 8-9 PM and looked dirty. We asked if they had more but they didn't make any effort to replenish them. I went to the restroom twice and both times I was rudely shouted at - the first time one waiter pointed at 1 of 2 restrooms and shouted at me to use that one. The second time I walked out of the restroom, but stopped since I saw the waiter with glasses mopping the floor. He aggressively and angrily shouted at me, pointing at the ground SLIPPERY!!! SLIPPERY!!! in Chinese. The restroom also had pee in the toilet since someone didn't flush and splatter of blood on the floor, counters, and cabinets. read more

Boyfriend and I decided to try a new hotpot place so we came here to give it a try. We went on a Saturday night around 8:30. We waited for around 10min and got seated. This place is AYCE but the price didn't include the broth. We ordered the spicy beef tallow and Tom yum broth. The Tom yum broth was really good and it almost tasted like it was from a Thai restaurant! I normally don't drink broth from hotpot places from I couldn't help and drank some of it. There were a lot of varieties for meat and veggies and they were all fresh. They had some premium items such as beef tongue and shrimp paste but they were only okay. The beef tongue's texture and color were a bit odd. It was brown and looked like it was cooked. I cooked it in the broth regardless since I wasn't sure and the texture tasted like it was braised. The shrimp paste also didn't have that nice chew to it. Overall experience was decent. Service was fast but I feel like the servers had trouble understanding us sometimes. AYCE was $32 per person and broth was another $18, which is not too bad for AYCE. The portion that they gave was slightly too big in my opinion for all you can eat. We only ordered one round and that was more than enough food. I wish they would make it a little smaller so we could still try different things with only two people. read more

The depth and breadth of the menu is wide. Just for tripe selections alone, the menu offers five potential options to choose from. Meat options are galore. The original spicy soup base with premium beef oil is a fiery concoction infused with Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilis, and a symphony of secret spices. This broth is not for the faint of heart with casual spice sensitivities. Spicy, but still flavorful and deep. The meal is an exercise in creativity and exploration. The AYCE price point is great, given the quality and array of food available. The dessert array, including fruit jelly and ice creams, are a welcomed accompaniment to the spicy main event. My only complaint is the area is notoriously difficult for parking. read more

The broth was good but they do make you pay an extra $16 for it in addition to the AYCE $30 price. I enjoyed the variety of meats and vegetables they had, and they also had appetizers and desserts as well next to the sauce bar. The service was AMAZING but sometimes we'd order stuff on the iPad and it wouldn't show up at the table. Not a big deal since it's AYCE but something worth noting if you're waiting for a specific item to show up. Would visit again but make sure to go earlier since there will likely be a wait! I went at 6:30 and there was no line, but by the time we left there were 20 parties waiting. read more

Be minded they charge extra for the broth per table (around $20 and up depends on the broth you choose). The AYCE price in holiday and weekend is $31.99 per person plus the broth price. The place is clean and classy. Everything is ordered on a pad. There are a lots of varieties included in AYCE and some items labeled with extra price. The food came fresh pretty accurate (some hot pot place usually skip some items). I highly recommend the golden chicken broth. It tastes so delicious. I can eat the food boiled in the broth without dipping in any other sauces. They also offer some appetizers like fries, spring rolls, fried shrimps etc. and cold dishes like chicken with chili sauce, crawfish etc. Also, feel free to get water, ice tea, plum drink, some fruits. The waiters and waitress are pretty nice. They pick up empty and dirty plates pretty quick. read more

Food (5/5): AYCE hotpot with solid options. Came with a large group after a hike and we each had our individual hot pot bowls. I got the Tom Yum broth which had a nice savory and sweet and sour flavor alongside some seafood in it. We ordered a bunch meats with my favorites being the Angus beef, fatty beef and lamb. Also enjoyed the variety of mushrooms, tofu, ramen, and meatball variety. The appetizers like condensed milk buns, egg rolls, and crispy pork also were good. The sauces had less selection than other places I've seen especially in the chili department but everything else was great. Service (5/5): We got seated at a nice private dining area with lots of space. The server checked up on us frequently and helped clear tables. They also made the ordering process simple and food came out fast. Only improvement would be that near the end they checked up on us less. Also, I asked for a small amount of ramen noodles and got too much. Ambiance (3/5): It's overall a nice place but could be a bit cleaner and modern compared to other hotpot places. While the private dining room with separate pots were nice, the heat controls of the pots kept falling out. With some fixes and cleaning, this could be a really amazing looking place. read more

This place is great, even though the broth for the hotpot isn't included in the AYCE. We went when the restaurant just opened up and were the 1st customers. What's different is that, they have different appetizers such as fried buns, chicken feet, meat jelly, cold duck and etc...their flavors are more northern China flavors; which is a very nice change to what I'm used to. They also have ice cream and drinks (ice tea and water) included and self serve. I will definitely go again to try other things. The broth flavors are a tad different than what I'm used to too. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - The goods - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

I've heard great things about this spot and really wanted to have that same opinion. Here are my thoughts. 1. The price is great, 31 dollars all you can eat is amazing. Good selection of meats and seasonings for broth. 2. The vegetable broth was superb. I added my herbs etc and it was delicious. 3. Appetizer bar was minimal and not that great. Fries and spring rolls were really greasy. Area needed some cleaning. 4. The spicy broths (beef /pork) my company got were very oily. Too oily. It was unappetizing. They charge for broth changes which is interesting.. 5. I wish there was a grill option with the hot pot like at other spots. Boiling only option felt limited but that's hot pot! 6. Service was okay, at times it felt you had to hunt someone down to ask questions or get things. But there was no rush even with the busy afternoon which was nice. They hover over you when it's time to tip so be ready haha read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Good food - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

Liuyishou has been on my list once they turned into an AYCE restaurant. I've tried to come a few times but the wait is pretty insane on Friday/Saturday nights during the dinner rush. I was able to make it in this Friday around 5pm with my partner (no wait!). The price is $32 per person currently, but you do need to pay extra for the soup base. We chose the 3 flavor pot ($20), and got the tomato, pork bone, and Liu's house special soup base mild. They also have an AYCD (all you can drink) option for $4 per person. This includes sodas, watermelon juice (pitcher), fruit tea (pitcher), plum juice, milk tea and maybe a few other options. Going back to the broths, we liked the tomato and pork bone but the Liu's house special soup base was pretty spicy, even for the mild level! We almost got the medium but thankfully didn't, HA! Sauce bar was pretty well stocked. They have some small appetizers and fruits too. Few things that stood out, other than the usual fatty beef, they had frog legs, sole fillet, snakehead fish fillet, and handmade shrimp paste. Lot of veggie and mushroom varieties! Oh the crispy pork was very good! Overall, very satisfied with this meal! After tip and tax, the total ended up being ~$120 for us 2. read more

Beware The AYCE is not as is, you have to buy the soup base then + AYCE Price ( 2 Adult $65.96 then Soup three flavor is $19.98) now that I am checking the price I guess they charged us $32.98 per person, I thought it was around $30 anyway thats fine. The food was mid, I did really like the chicken bones, the beef were okay, not the best cut of meats. I should have went to Hai di lao instead the price for AYCE for quality is just not justifiable and plus you had to buy the soup base anyway which is crazy for AYCE! Service was okay until we had to leave Tips, the person (Xin Yan) who is the name listed on my bill, I assume he was the same guy who we had to deal with. When I was about to give my tip on my card (11% before tax) , he asked if something is wrong and that I should leave the minimum tip that he is asking and he was just standing there putting pressure. First of all why you looking at how much I am giving, they dont give any privacy to customers? I do get they want more tip, but forcing customer to give certain amount of tip is crazy. My mother had to put him in place saying we arent forced by law to do such thing. I mean what did they do? Refil soup and serve the food which is part of their job they get paid to do and it is part of the food we paid to be delivered to us. You have to get your own drinks in this place also. He should be grateful he has a job. After we walked out of the store he was still yelling and telling us to never come back as if he owns the place. We will most definely not come back and I would suggest others to go to Hai di lao instead , you can probably get better treatment and appreciation. read more

Glad we made a reservation in a Friday night because it was packed and there was a a lot of people waiting to be seated. This place is not that big but they do have room for large parties of 6+. I came here for my brother's birthday. I like how they have so many soup base options. We got tomato, golden chicken and original. Not a very big fan of the golden chicken. It was overly salty and it just made all the food salty. Even when we added more water it was still very salty. Tomato and original soup base is also good if you do not want spicy. They have good selection of food for AYCE. I ordered sliced beef, shrimp paste, fresh fish ball, angus beef, fish tofu cake, Bean curd, fish filet, cabbage, fortune money bag, and quail egg. The fortune money bag was super adorable but we didn't really like it. They also had appetizers included which I highly recommend the fried buns and spring rolls. The buns were fresh and warm and the spring rolls was hot and crispy. It was busy but the food came out fairly quick. I like how they have a shelf on the side of the table to hold the raw food and empty plates. You can also check out their all you can drink menu and other menu items outside of AYCE. Yelp check in gets you a free soda and don't forget the complimentary free ice cream before you leave. read more

I have a customer for years and have watched this restaurant evolve. Originally it was a nice fancy hot pot restaurant serving up live shrimp and crab in a private room, known for its famous ring of beef. As more hot pot restaurants opened up, it has become another all you can eat. The space feels way more crammed. The food is still the same, with an addition of a hot bar now, and shared pots... but the service and feels ain't the same read more

this sunday my boyfriend and i went to this hotpot location, the food and sauce bar is well but the hot food section the food was cold don't know why since it's a HOT bar. the service was alright they did resolve one problem for us and when it was time to pay i found it awkward that the server stands there and holds the tablet while you pay. my boyfriend and i found it extremely awkward, we were a party of two and didn't order much, literally one plate of meat three veggies and we didn't require them to constantly be coming to our table so it was barely any work for our table, so naturally he tried to tip 5$ and the server pulled the tablet away and looked at it and said "oh this isn't enough you need to do atleast 18%" 18% tip on our already 95$ bill? for whaaattt??? i actually told him i've never seen a hot pot place REQUIRE you to do 18% tip and more. plus in AYCE why am i paying a fee on top of 16$ for soup base? what sense does that make. anyway, don't go here unless you wanna be forced to tip, eat at a cold hot bar and be looked at by workers like they don't want you there. I have yet to find a hotpot place that doesn't feel uncomfortable to customers. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Flushing, New York

For ayce 32$ a person + cost of your choice of broth is pretty good deal. This spot has many unique broth options. I got the duck pickle broth which is a bit sour at first, but after you add in the ingredients it gets absorbed by the animal after taste that is usually on the meat making the broth tastier. There are a lot more meat options that other ayce hotpot spots dont have. For example slice pork and beef from other parts of the cow. If you want fancier cuts like wagyu. You will have to pay extra. They also have a really sweet ice tea you can keep getting. Overall pretty good spot for the cold weather. For 2 people with 3 broths plus tax and tip bill was around 108$. So about 54$ per person. I will come back again. Ps: The shrimp paste is a must have. They give you the same amount every time you order it. read more

I have to say it is my current fav for ayce hot pot in Flushing, it is a chain with a bunch of chains worldwide and I am glad they have one in Flushing. I have been here twice and I was able to secure a private room for both dinners and it was really great. The price per is $32 but it is really worth it since the variety is amazing. The food: Duck with Chinese Pickled Radish Soup Base- I would have never ordered this but I asked the waiter for a recommendation for the broth and they said to get this one. I have only gotten this broth and will continue to only get this broth, that is how much I liked it. I am not going to name every item but I will just name the ones I thought were must orders. I say you have to order the following: Handmade Shrimp Paste Black Fungus Bamboo Shoot Sole Fish Fillet Sliced Beef New Zealand Lamb Shrimp Head-On 3 Second Bean Curd Roll Spam read more

This used to be my favorite hotpot place, it used to be so good and the quality of both the broth and meat was impeccable. I came back after a couple of months and the quality of the food and especially the service went down. First, there was little to no service. We dined in for about two hours and they didn't refill our broth once. They didn't turn the fire on for us when we saw they turned it on for other tables. They never checked in on us. We came around 4-5pm and it was not busy, so I don't know what the excuse is. It took them 10 minutes to give us our checks and the workers hovered over us while we pressed the tip amount. Ridiculous! What am I even tipping you for?!?!? They charge you for the all you can eat price and the broth. Why are you charging us for the broth? How can we eat hotpot without a broth? The prices are insane and literally doesn't make any sense. The meat and veggies tasted old. The cabbage and broccoli had a really odd smell and taste to it, it was repulsive I literally could not stomach it. It did not taste fresh at all. I don't know what happened to this place but I assure you I will not be returning. read more

This AYCE Hot Pot spot is definitely one of the restaurants I frequently visit. Whether it's the summer or winter, I'll always enjoy hot pot! This location is located in the heart of Flushing. There are a few parking options but be prepared to pay for it, or you can always take public transportation. Upon sitting down, you can choose your own base (1, 2, or 3 broths). The price is per person, however, you will also be charged for broth separately. After choosing your broth and your items (meat, vegetables, sides), you can go to the sauce station. The sauce station has the usual sauces like satay, sesame oil, peanut sauce, sesame sauce, seafood sauce, cilantro, garlic, and more. Sometimes, they have a beef sauce that I like to use as a sauce base but it's not always available. There are also some fruits and sides like oranges, chicken feet, pickled vegetables, and more but the selection rotates. One thing is to be prepared to ask for the items you requested because they may miss an item or two. The first time I ordered lotus root, it didn't show up. I had to ask for it again and then the server brought it to me. I appreciate that there's a variety of meat and seafood dishes that you can order. At some AYCE places, you need to order the meat and seafood separately while the vegetables are AYCE. I usually get, beef, lamb, and tripe. They also have duck feet, for those who like to eat it. At the end of the meal, the server asked if we wanted ice cream. It seems to be a new thing before they didn't offer it the other two times I was there. read more

I first came here during covid when it was outdoor dining and in winter and also with a large group. Needless to say, that was not a pleasant experience even though they did their best to keep the area warm so our food wouldn't get cold as fast. Now that they have moved back to indoor dining with their normal stovetop tables, I can say that everything was fantastic! We got the spicy mala and herbal broth and both were great, as was all the items we ordered from the extensive menu. My friends wanted to go to an AYCE hot pot rather than a la carte ordering and we were surprised at how good everything was for the price; keep in mind, you do need to pay additional for the broth itself. There is also your typical sauce bar and some snack side items such as chicken feet and pickled cabbage and fruit/jelly for dessert. Best part is this area is kept super clean! Next to it is also a beverage area for water and free sweet tea! 10/10 would recommend if you are a carnivore with a hint of vegetarianism. If you are more of a veggie lover, then go to Spring since that would be more worth it there. read more

I thought I was past the point of AYCE hot pot in my life. It's usually pricey, with sub-par service and middling/lower-end quality foods. But I was happy to be proven wrong with Liuyishou. For an AYCE spot, almost everything was immaculate (nothing tasting like a carryover from days ago). At 11:30 AM Sunday, there was no wait. Our server checked on us often enough, and the food was always brought out in a timely fashion. The self-serve station was great (the wood-ear mushroom dish was refreshing, and all the sauces/accoutrements were flavorful. We didn't try too many different things, but I really enjoyed the Sliced New Zealand Lamb, the snakehead fillet, some kinda signature sliced beef (perfect ratio of fat to meat), and all the mushrooms. And of course we loved straight drinking our two soup bases (spicy lamb spine and duck with pickled radish). Dessert was some Hersheys-branded ice cream from their freezer (options are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry). Quite satisfying. read more

One of my goto ayce hotpot places in flushing. Have been going for the past several years and would say that for ayce their broth taste and meat quality are superb! Also appreciate their recently expanded drinks/appetizer bar. Plus walking in for early dinner or late lunch (4-6) is super convenient and there normally isn't a wait thought it can get busier at later hours. Service is great, they recently switched to an ipad order system that has made it seem more streamlined and fast. Whenever you put in an order, the waiters/waitresses get a ping on their phone. With this, they are pretty speedy and rarely make mistakes. Food-wise, you generally can order a split hotpot (up to three) per ayce price at the table. Most items are included in ayce but they have some premium items that require extra $$. Appetizers/drinks- many appetizers at the bar that have included fried chicken, kimchi fried rice, pig ear. Drinks- cold passion fruit tea, orange juice, oolong tea. Very solid and respectable in its own right. Sauce bar- pretty diverse with my go-to's being the shacha and peanut sauce. Broth-We normally get the half Chongqing beef oil spicy flavor and half tomato base. The chongqing is on the spicier side and is authentic tasting. Normally dip meat and fish balls in the spicy broth and relegate veggies to the tomato base Meats- love getting lamb shoulder slices, angus beef, beef tongue, marbled beef Veggies- chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum, seaweed, enoki mushroom read more

Came here with a group of three friends on the weekend as we were craving hotpot. Flushing is home to lots of ayce hotpot chains, and I felt like this one is above average compared to others. They do charge extra for the broth, which I found kinda strange. The meat and seafood here was quite fresh. They also have skewers included in the ayce, and some more premium dishes like wagyu beef provided with extra charge. Also, they have a ayce drink option as well per person, but please note it comes in a jug each time you order instead of a glass cup like other places. I liked that they had a more unique variety of drinks such as homemade milk tea and watermelon juice. The service here is also super attentive even though they seemed understaffed and quite busy. read more
