ive been there many times and the one time i don't tip cause i don't have the extra money. they decide they wanted to choose their own tips themselves. i should asked for a damn receipt cause i'm pissed and i will be going there in person to get an explanation cause that's STEALING. I tip EVERYTIME. and the one time i choose not to they pull this shit???? and i can see from the reviews that this is NOT the first time. i WILL BE CALLING to get my money back. that's is SO MESSED UP!!! Update: The manager was nice about it and gave me a refund read more

This was a great place. Busy on a Friday night, but to be expected. We waited almost an hour exactly, but there's a system where you put in your phone number and can easily leave and come back if you wanna look around the shopping center while you wait. Our waitress was very attentive from the beginning and offered enthusiastic recommendations. Our pork bone broth was delicious and we tried many kinds of meat and add ins, and they were great with sane portions. Didn't really feel like we missed out on anything by not buying the extra charge items and we both filled up quickly. There's little desserts at the sauce bar, and also a few things off the menu. We tried them all and found them neutral overall in flavor; nothing impressive, but still pleasant. The difficult thing about this place is the price. A few $ more than Seapot, but you also have to pay for broth, which can add up to $14 more PER broth, which is why bf and I only got one. So while I'd say this place was very good, Seapot is better value and would be my choice over this place. However, bf and I agreed that this place is definitely a better choice over Hai Di Lao. read more

We got the half spicy, half pork broth soups. We were a party of 4, but they only added soup to one of the hotpot plates on the table. The house spicy broth was very spicy and gave me a small bout of diarrhea a few hours later. I will stick to the pork broth next time. We ordered lamb, pork belly, beef belly, and beef tongue. We also ordered squid, octopus, and quail egg. They put a cart by our table to put all our meat and sides on, which was nice. The sauce was alright. They had soy sauce, vinegar, shacha (Chinese bbq) sauce, and sesame oil. My bf did not like the shacha sauce. When one person on the table ordered a (non water) drink, everyone on the table was expected to get one. I just got water though, because all their drinks were sugary. read more

One of the best hotpot places I've been to in the DFW area. They offer a variety of different soup bases, meats, and sauces. My friends and I got the sukiyaki broth which was light and delicious. We ordered lots of lamb and beef all of which were good quality and tasted delicious! VIBES Great for families and hanigng out. It is brightly lit from the windows and very vibrant inside with the orange seats. Pretty loud with nice conversations over hotpot. SERVICE Service was great overall! They are quick to assist and the broth came out really quickly. read more

Food was good, just a bit pricey. Service was bad. Our server lady with the glasses left halfway through our meal and we had to walk ourselves out. Got the special spicy soup and the pork bone soup--both options tasted great. Our favorite was the lamb and beef belly slices. I recommend the cabbage and black fungus as a side. ~$90+$10 tip read more

Amazing ayce hotpot experience. Very diverse menu and the waiter came extremely frequently, at least every 5 minutes for our entire 2 hour time. The broths and meats were delightful and the sides were my favorite. Portions were just right for each order and we left very happy and full. read more

That little cow spice bomb is cute and all but it packs a wallop! It's super spicy! While this restaurant is AYCE, they do charge you for the broth and there are some "premium" items that are not part of the AYCE. I like Liuyishou. While not as high quality as Hai Di Lao, it's still tasty. Nothing much more to say since this is your usual hotpot restaurant. If you go on the weekend be prepared to wait in line. read more

I really enjoyed Liuyishou. It's slightly different from other hot pot places. If you go during the weekdays, it's about $30 per adult. Then, you have to pay another $10-$15 for each broth selection for the whole table. You also have the option to add $5 per person for unlimited drinks (all or nothing for the whole table). Unfortunately, they were out of at least three drinks when we were there. The options were vast to where our table of three only made it through 1/3 of the menu. We'll have to go back to try the rest. My favorites were the beef tongue (I know... It isn't for everyone but trust me, you MUST try it) and Shrimp Balls (massive heaping). I also liked the Coconut Milk and Milk Tea. They only had single serve chocolate ice cream for dessert so that was a bummer. read more

I believe this is the best hotpot spot in Dallas. Although I usually only get ramen at more well-known spots, I had to try this out, and was low key impressed. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - Typical hotpot set up. What is that? There is a small bar for sauces and other smaller items, while your table is set up to hold a couple of broths. You order the broths and items from the waiter/waitress and then order UP (meats, veggies, etc). Staff - 5/5 - Friendly and fast. There is a time limit, but unless you spend 5 hours there, no one is going to kick you out. Food/Drink: Because this is AYCE (food and drink (yes, you can for bubble tea as well), I cannot list out everything that was ordered. I just can assure you that this will definitely be on your top spots for hot pot, especially right now. Overall, I love this spot, and will be back again and again. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Hot pot - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

The beef tallow broth and the house spicy broth were really good! The meats were cut thinly and had a really good marble on them. There were a variety of sides that you can order and the service is super fast. The sauce bar also had a lot of options and some desserts too. We were seated super quickly but the tables filled up fast so you would want to get there slightly early before the lunch rush. The restaurant is well lit and didn't feel too crowded. read more

I came here last week Wednesday and all I can say is WOW! Liuyushou has Delicious hot pot broths , quality meats, a large sauce bar, and great service from the waitstaff. It really doesn't get better than this if you are looking for great hot pot! My husband and I decided to try the spicy broth, tomato broth, and the pork bone broth. All 3 were good, but my favorites were definitely tomato and spicy. The tomato was like...tomato sauce but much lighter and fragrant, almost delicate with other herbs in it. I haven't had something quite like it before and am now obsessed! The spicy house broth was delicious, with lots of chilis and the tongue numbing szechuan peppers. I got medium spice level and it was perfect for me. Their organic pork and marbled beef were by far my favorite meats. The homemade noodle was excellent , and their bok choy was fresh. Get the sesame sauce and mix a little bit of oyster sauce, garlic, sesame oil, generous helpings of cilantro and green onion and you have yourself the perfect dip for your meat. I do like that while it is all you can eat, the quality of the meat was good. Nothing was overly fatty or chewy, and there was no gristle to be found! I can't wait to come back! read more

I can say this has become one of my favorite hotpot place in Dallas! You pay for individual fee + additional charge per soup base and everything else is AYCE. We got the house special spicy soup base and house special pork bone soup base but honestly to my taste, I did not like the pork bone soup but spicy soup was the best!! They have variety of meat and sides to choose from and they were all super fresh. My favorite of them was the shrimp paste! The service wasn't the best but no complaint about it since the restaurant was very busy! The restaurant is spacious yet when we went, it was so busy and fully filled that it didn't feel as spacious. read more

Popped in here for a random Wednesday dinner and luckily we beat the rush! They got super busy here but thr staff remained very attentive. It's an all you can eat with limited protein options but they're pretty high quality! I loved the amount of unique noodles options they had, like this wide green glass noodle. Never had it anywhere else! The broth was very flavor and the level of sichuan spice was numbing even for mild, still enjoyed it though. I'd say pricing wasn't too high for what you get. Their sauce bar is probably smaller than other places but it still had everything I typically used. Would come back again! It's a good place to have on rotation for hot pot read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Another new addition to the AYCE hot pot scene in DFW. Honestly this place might be my new favorite spot. They have high quality cut meats and every topping I usually order at hot pot (variety of vegetables, seafood). They also have a great sauce bar that's very organized. The broth selection is great and I really enjoy their spicy broth. At that day however, they did not have their iconic cow butter to add to our broth so it was missing out on the umami and spice. But other than that, everything else was great. Service was normal and the place is super bright and aesthetic. Great spot with friends and family read more

That's really it. If you're in Plano and want the best hot pot available just come here and enjoy your meal. read more

Tyler is a straight boss. He makes the best dipping sauce, gives good recs, and provides the best service. The hotpot here is pretty good. They have a humongous menu with many of my favorite items. They are known for this cute cow that is made of beef tallow that you can bath in the soup. The broth is extra tasty with it. The chicken soup with fish maw and duck with Chinese pickled radish are both pretty unique and my favorite ones. I'd also recommend the green tea lemonade here. Super refreshing! Sauce bar is great. It has everything you'd want and then some. They have little snacks and desserts there. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

I'm sad it took me so long to try Liuyishou! Very reasonably priced for AYCE hotpot (even better uf you come for lunch) and they have a fairly complete menu to choose from and a very complete sauce bar. You do have to also pay for broth, but afterward, it's fair game. In addition to the standard hotpot menu items, they also have dessert soups and free ice cream at the end. If you're looking to get bang for your buck, DEFINITELY come here. (I also love Haidilao, the other popular hotpot place in the region; it's a little nicer but also certainly more expensive.) read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

I wasn't going to write a review, but for my fellow yelpers, you need to know. For a party of 4 (two adults and 2 little children), my server added gratuities into our bill without notifying us. Then she went on break or left, I'm not sure, so someone else came to close our bill. I asked to be sure, was this auto gratuities a normal practice? And she told us it was not and she wasn't sure why it happened. This is not acceptable. Playing with people's money is not a moral or ethical thing to do. This is sad. While I'm at this rampage, I might it as well add, the bathroom is gross. There are two single stalls for an entire restaurant that seats 50+ people. It was filthy, toilet doesn't flush, soap was from a broken bottle pump, and there is mouthwash without a lid and mold growth all over the counter and sink area. This is gross. Second visit here today, and my last. Very disappointed. read more

my favorite ayce hot pot place in dallas. service was good, server and foodrunners are very attentive and friendly. the food was really good too. i especially like the beef belly, enoki mushroom, quail eggs and fried chinese donut. We got the spicy house special soup and the sukiyaki soup. I really like sukiyaki a lot (but tbh it was not the best i've had), but i also like the spicy house soup too (even tho i can't really eat spicy food xx) read more

I finally tried Liuyishou Hotpot in Plano, and it delivered an authentic all-you-can-eat Chinese hot pot experience. We went with the two-broth combo: the spicy broth, which packed a fiery kick, and the house broth, rich and flavorful--a perfect balance. The casual vibe and quick service stood out--our waitress took our order on a tablet, and the food arrived within minutes. The sauce counter had lots of options but it was kinda messy. Highlights of the menu included tender cuts of meat, (loved the pork belly and the lamb) fresh seafood, vegetables, and plenty of noodle options. Drinks were refilled promptly, keeping the meal flowing smoothly. With its quality ingredients and efficient service, we will definitely be returning. read more

great family place and great food, wonderful service, atmosphere was friendly ambiance wonderful

Great AYCE hotpot place! We had 2 soup bases between us: the tomato soup base and the Liu's house special (VERY VERY SPICY). Matt, our server, warned us that the beef broth would be spicy and we even asked for a medium spicy level. The restaurant was very busy by the time we left! Luckily, we went early (5:45 PM) on a Friday and didn't have to wait. The meats and vegetables were very fresh. Matt was amazing and came by often! The restaurant must have been opened less than a year, but it already seemed to look a bit worn down! I wish the sauce station would be more hygienic! read more

Party of 8, seated at a table designed for 6. Very uncomfortable and tight. Would not recommend if you have a party larger than 6. Price seems fair, until you add in weekend and broth extras. Ingredient selection was normal, nothing special. Server was polite and friendly though. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

First time here, overall a 4.5! The soup bases are really really delicious, and they have a wide range of high quality sides to choose from. For soup bases we tried the pork bone base (white soup base) and the house special spicy soup base with beef tallow. They were both really flavorful and the pot is quite big, so it comes with a lot of broth. You do have to pay for the broth flavors, but they were super good! They have a bunch of sides like mushrooms, vegetables, dumplings, Chinese donuts, desserts, and a lot of different meat cuts from lean to fatty beef, lamb, fish, and pork. The meat quality was good and the rest of the sides were super nice! The vegetables were all really fresh and the different dumplings you could put in the soup were also really good! We were super impressed. The beef tongue also is especially tender, this was really awesome! Highly recommend this cut of meat! Service is pretty good, they are fast and check in on you often! The inside is also super nice and clean with everything prepared on the table for you. For a good quality hotpot place at a bit higher but still somewhat reasonable price, this was super worth it! ~$30 per person not including soup bases, which are about $10 depending on how many soup bases you want to try. read more

Food quality has gotten worse, meat and veggie selection limited and they take a long time to serve you. I think it's intentional to make you eat slower. Waitress was nice but inattentive and didn't refill our water pitcher or stop by and check on us. A few times we ordered things and she didn't bring them and had to ask twice. No liquor license at the moment. Dessert ice cream was limited to chocolate. Prices have skyrocketed. Lunch for 3 (1kid) no drinks was 135 (20% tip included). I will not be coming back. read more

Soo impressed with the food quality and service here from the best server Jason. I came right before they opened on a Saturday at 3pm so we didn't have to wait. But just keep in mind that the wait can be 2 hours or more during busy times. This restaurant is AYCE and you can choose up to four soup bases which are an added charge on top of the AYCE price. It was $26 pp on Saturday for AYCE and around $23 for four soup bases. My favorite was the premium sliced beef for the meat! The spicy cow is also a cute touch! The meat quality for hot pot is the best I've had in Dallas, and the soup bases are soo good too. It's full of flavor! I didn't try anything I didn't like and everything was so bomb!! They also have a sauce bar where you can serve yourself that also has sides and fruits. I just wish they had ponzu sauce. I can't wait to be back!! It's delicious! read more

if you don't come during opening time, get ready to wait. We had to wait roughly 1 hour and 45 mins to get seated, and i heard others had to wait like 2.5+ hours. This place is extremely popular and i don't think the hype will die down anytime soon. You sign in on the ipad, and it'll text you to let you know how many tables are ahead of you. This place is an ayce hot pot place. Most of the items are included into the price, but there is a small section on the menu for premium items that you'll have to pay extra for. you pay ~$26 bucks per person, and the soup base will cost extra, depending on how many soup bases you get. When we got seated, we ended up getting the signature spice hot pot soup base and the pork tripe with black pepper soup base. I don't eat hotpot a lot... and i most certainly don't eat spicy food, so the spicy soup base was too spicy for me. I ended up cooking everything in the black pepper soup base, and once cooked, dipped it very quickly in the spicy soup. Honestly we ended up getting the spicy soup base, since we wanted a picture of the bear or the cow they have. lol. Service is extremely quick and they bring out food fast. However, towards the end and i assume when it was getting really busy they slowed down on our orders of meats. We had to ask the server multiple times if the meat plates were coming or not. There's a section for sauces and small dessert and cold dishes. can't say too much on the bathroom, but what i can say is that they need to expand it. Only 1 person can go in at one time. Which is dumb, if i need to wash my hands. They also ran out of ice cream so we couldn't get that. Also, i believe if you wait more than 1 hour, you get a small discount. and save your receipts, since you get a small discount at meet fresh. read more

Still recent since grand opening. 1 hour wait on a Friday night so got our table at 7p for a large group. It got split into 2 tables next to each other anyway. Don't have much hot pot experience. People said this place is good though. Pricing has been mentioned (AYCE): $26 base + $2 weekend surcharge (Fri-Sun). I think even one soup base is extra? not super clear but that's what it looked like. (I would guess a lot of people get more than 1.) Most are around $10. 2 for $14. 4 for $23. So prices are around $35-40 / pp easily. I think one soup base should be included as a bare minimum in the price You tell the server what you want and it looks like there are 3 rounds. 2 hour limit. Level 1 on spicy sauce and it's really spicy!! Server even warned us on this. This is from someone who is not big into sichuan food / spicy but I can tolerate some level. Other people who like spicy food got level 2 and didn't hear any complaints. if you're only doing one soup base, skip the spicy ones unless you are confident you can handle. We got the pork tripe and duck broth for non spicy. I'm not sure which one I tried (whoops) but I liked it. Tried a bunch of stuff... meat seemed fine / standard. Didn't try any of the premium items. Can't say it was high quality or low. There was a cut of something that seemed really fatty - I think it was beef. Veggie platter is a decent option if you want a mix of stuff to cleanse your palette. I'm probably bigger on the meats vs seafood or organs. Sauce bar is smaller than Seapot. Someone commented that they had covers over the sauce - not when I went. It was open but it is what it is. Service seemed good but we had a lot of meat for a lot of people, so we weren't pressed about it running out. They ran out of one of the desserts (included) so only tried this jelly item. There's also some mini random apps / desserts near the sauce bar too. I thought it was on the loud side in there. I would come back if someone was in town and wanted to try. But the wait is kind of crazy right now. read more

Omg. Liuyishou was SO good. My friends and I were really hangry and we waited a very long time, but it was completely and totally worth the wait. We actually came on Chinese New Year day, so it makes sense why they were so busy. Everyone tries to eat hot pot on CNY. The broth is incredible. I would say it's better than another extremely popular hot pot chain. I love pig stomach, and their mild pig stomach broth is to die for. They put a lot of white pepper in it, so there's a really nice kick. I didn't realize broth costs extra, so that was a bit disappointing to find out about at the end of the meal (I assumed the AYCE price was a flat $27 or whatever it is). However, when you order ala carte at other hot pot places, it comes out to be about the same price or even cheaper. Therefore, I don't mind that much. The ingredients are extremely high quality. You can also tell it's a good chain because all of their silverware and plating are branded with the LYS logo! They were having a deal on beer carafes, so my friends and I happily ordered one. It was more than enough beer for three people, and beer actually pairs really well with hot pot. I love how extensive their menu is, and you'll find all the basics on their menu. I couldn't wait to tell my parents about how good this place is, and I'll definitely be coming back again and again. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Chinese Near Me - Plano, Texas

Amazing AYCE Chinese style hot pot. The quality is good and consistent for most items and the service is extremely fast. I think it is a great alternative to other hot pot restaurants like haidilao with almost similar quality but way more affordable. My favorite broth I've tried is the duck with Chinese pickled radish. Is full of umami and depth and outshines most of the other options. I felt like most items after being cooked in this broth didn't even need a dipping sauce. Meat options were also good and I enjoyed the marbled beef and lamb. There is also a wide variety of veggies, seafood, and noodles to choose from - I highly recommend the homemade noodles. It has great texture and bounce to them and is amazing with the duck broth. One con was that the sauce bar is a little lacking compared to some other restaurants. I also noticed that sometimes the quality of the meat differed between orders, as in some plates of beef had more marbling than others. The wait time can also be quite long as this restaurant is very popular even on a weekday night. Overall, the experience was great and I'll be definitely coming back. read more
