    Spicy Beef Pot
    Miles A.

    Just found out about this spot and had to try it. Fresh new space with many smaller tables inside. Menu is either soup base or dry pot, with dozen or so options of broth, protein, and additions. Went with the spicy beef dry pot, and friend got the signature sauerkraut soup base with snakehead fish. The spice level was good, though the rest of the seasoning wasn't as strong. Ample amount of beef, and ordered extra konjac noodles. Lots of veggies, mostly large onion slices. Also dry pot comes with a bowl of rice. Pretty nice spot for a quick bowl or plate, thanks.

    A new favorite in Chinatown! I had to check this place out since fish soup is my absolute favorite, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the red pepper spicy broth, delicious with the perfect spice level for me. The portions are huge, loaded with plenty of sliced fish, veggies, and noodles. We added snakehead fish and mushrooms, and wow..they gave us a lot of fish! So fresh, tender, and flavorful. Pairing it with rice made it even better. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, and the staff are attentive and welcoming. Prices are very affordable. The base soup with sliced fish, veggies, and clear noodles is about $15, and adding extras is totally up to you, so the price changes depending on what you choose. Still, very worth it for the portion size and quality. Highly recommend this spot if you love fish soup. I'll definitely be back again!

    Love the spicy pickled fish here. The dish is hearty and full of flavor. The broth goes great on rice. Great especially on a chilly day.

    Went the first week it opened. Honestly didn't know what to expect and was hesitant to try due to the "sauerkraut fish" sign in the front. Flavor of broth is very mild (some say not flavorful enough) and the fish tasted like regular white fish to me. Apparently the authentic version is sour. Great value for how much protein they put in. It's basically a set hot pot menu with customizable options. You choose the soup base, fish/meat/tofu, any additional toppings, and portion size (serving for one or two). The menu notes how spicy each broth is with 0-3 next to it. The popcorn chicken appetizer was disappointing. Tasted like they used too much baking soda. FYI: They don't have a designated chili oil/spicy sauce for the table but the worker was nice enough to get something from the kitchen. Modern interior, smaller dining space. Would go again when I want a nourishing bowl of soup. I personally really liked the mushroom base but the beef version was more flavorful than the fish version.

    A very solid option for AYCE KBBQ in UCity!…read more I was craving for KBBQ after having it for my dad's bday, and wifey and I needed a date night idea. So why not eating way too much protein while our faces soak up that delicious grease and smoke? It turns out there are no reasons why not. The meat selection is pretty good for a spot that I didn't get the impression specializes in KBBQ - it was, after all, a hot pot spot first. But they've got your classics: LA galbi, bulgogi beef, thinly sliced fatty brisket, pork belly, spicy gochujang pork shoulder, you know what it is. But they also have some deep cuts: pork cheek and beef tongue! I think those are only available for dinner, but still. Delicious. They also have a good selection of seafood. Their marinated scallops and squid were a hit. I believe they also have mussels, shrimp, all the good stuff. One thing I wish they had more of was a wider variety of side dishes (banchan). They had radish kimchi and marinated cucumbers when I went, but cabbage kimchi was all out that day, and I just feel like one more little side dish would have made it perfect... like maybe some potato salad or the like. Because it's a hot pot joint, the sauce game is on point though. Plenty of sesame oil and soybean paste to slather your grilled goodies in. Plus, some vinegars, fresh herbs, other chili oils, and the like that would normally be used for hot pot. Mix and match to your delight. Drinks were varied and very reasonably priced. All the usual suspects from soju to sake. I'll come back with friends when bulking season comes around, for sure!

    After watching too many shows featuring kbbq, I couldn't resist the urge to hit up LaTao to check…read moreout their AYCE hot pot + bbq game. As it turns out, they're pretty legit for a spot that's conveniently located right next to Penn. Compared to the other hot pot places I've been to, LaTao sets itself apart by offering more hot pot menu selections. Even the broth comes in 11 different flavors, and you can opt for 3 of them at once by ordering the Benz pot. For our table, we got Korean spicy broth along with Tom Yum broth and Mixed Mushroom and Rib broth. Out of these, the Korean spicy broth was my fave. I love that there are so many different choices of meat, veggies, and seafood to choose from but the shrimps were a bit smaller than I'd prefer. As for their grill section, there aren't as many meat options as some of the places I've been to, but the flavoring was pretty good. As others may have mentioned, their sauce bar and hot food/dessert buffet sections are pretty modest or nonexistent in comparison with those like KPOT, Chubby Cattle, and Kung Fu hot pot. If you're a stickler for these, you'll be disappointed by coming here. Service-wise, I felt like the entire place was run by students since it was pretty inconsistent and I felt like the wait staff were overworked. Some of the orders we placed also never arrived, but that's forgivable since we enjoyed the ones that did. Overall, I was pretty happy with the dining experience and wouldn't mind dining here again.

    Wow. What a little gem!…read more Seafood hotpot!!! Yummy! The dining room is not flashy, but it is efficient. Plenty of tables and not crowded next to each other. There was only one server who acted as host, cashier and buss! It was 9pm so I get it. But Friday night peeps. As the server was by themselves, and young. We couldn't get any adult beverages! This was a little bummer. But the food definitely made up for it. Bait come on. It was Friday night!!! Ok so let's talk about the food. 40 bucks all you can eat! Broths were amazing and our host kept our pots full and hot! The food was all very fresh and abundant! Snow crab legs, beef, pork, shrimp, scallops, etc all were again portioned well and fresh. I really did enjoy my meal here and would love to go again. But I would hope to get some hot team and Soju next time! lol Two thumbs up here!!!

It wasn't busy when we went (probably because it's summer), which meant we had plenty of space and some nice privacy -- we were seated far from other tables, which was great. The main dining area was super clean, and even though there was only one staff member running the front, he was attentive and checked in often to make sure we got refills and anything we needed. They really stay on top of the AYCE part, which I appreciated. You can choose between an individual pot or a communal one, and there's a solid self-serve section in the back with drinks, sauces, veggies, noodles, and other hotpot basics. The seafood selection was surprisingly good -- abalone, conch, crab legs, shrimp, mussels -- all fresh and flavorful. The seafood boil took a little while to come out, but it was seasoned well and worth the wait. For meat, they had American wagyu, ribeye, pork belly, and lamb -- all sliced fresh and great for hotpot. The only downside was the bathroom. The sink was clogged and almost overflowing, and there was no hand soap, which definitely raised some hygiene concerns. Still, the overall value, service, and food quality made this a great experience. I'll definitely be back -- especially in the winter when hotpot hits even harder.

    We've been coming here for a number of years and enjoy it consistently. The menu is extensive from…read morenoodle dishes, to Sechuan, and Taiwanese selections. The homemade DanDan noodles were our favorite, which are served with ground pork in a spicy peanut sauce. We also got the three cup chicken which was so good, with a sweet, licorice-like glaze. Some other favorites were the black pepper chicken and the long hot chicken, if you enjoy spice. We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

    Ordered takeout while visiting from out of town. The ordering process was quick and seamless and…read moreeverything was ready quicker then expected. Unfortunately the experience at pickup wasn't the best. I asked if they had included utensils and the gentleman at the counter said no. I asked for some since I was bringing the food back to my hotel and wouldn't have anything to eat with. He was pretty dismissive and didn't seem to want to give me anything. (I also didn't get any napkins.) Just a little strange when ordering takeout, utensils should be included right? Or at the very least be readily given out when requested? He begrudgingly gave me 2 pairs of chopsticks and a fork, said he ran out of spoons. I didn't notice the lack of napkins until I got back. Now for the food. We ordered dan dan noodles, a chicken lo mein, and Taiwanese minced pork rice. The noodle dishes were decent but the lo mein was a bit too al dente for our liking...especially for our young son. Didn't get a chance to eat the rice because we were all too full from the noodles. Appreciate the generous portions at least. Will see if the rice will make it home safely with us and reheats well. Can't speak on the ambience. Wasn't in there long enough to really look around. Will I order from them again or try in person in the future? I'm not sure. I wasn't blown away by the food or service so...

    Philadelphia's Chinatown is keeping up with the times, and this place is proof. In a culinary…read morelandscape where Szechuan cuisine and hot pot are having a serious moment, this fast-casual malatang spot manages to hit every note -- and then some. The concept is brilliantly simple: browse a refrigerated selection stocked with an impressive array of Asian vegetables, exotic proteins like frog legs and lamb, and all the hot pot staples you'd expect, then fill your bowl and pay by weight. It instantly transported me to hot pot buffets I've experienced in Taiwan -- that same sense of abundance and choice, but streamlined for the modern diner. From there, you can have your selections cooked in your broth of choice or go the dry hot pot route, stir-fried with a Szechuan spice blend that brings the heat in all the right ways. For the young professional crowd, this place checks every box: quick, customizable, affordable, and genuinely authentic. Whether you have 20 minutes for a quick graze or an hour to properly gorge, the kitchen keeps pace. Service is fast without feeling rushed. Don't overlook the beverage fridge -- it carries drinks you'd be hard-pressed to find even at your local Asian grocery store, which is a small but telling detail about the care put into this place. Chinatown dining done right for 2026. Highly recommend.

Simple, fast, and hits the spot every time. Their mala broth is the star. Thick, rich, and actually tastes like someone simmered it all day with real spices, not that instant packet stuff. Deep chili aroma, the kind that sticks to your lips a little, with a warm numbing finish that feels legit. Portions are my favorite part. Since I usually think I can eat more than I actually can, one bowl here turns into two full meals for me. For the price of one all you can eat hotpot, I can get 2-3 meals here and honestly it tastes better than half the AYCE places anyway. The seating area is small but clean. They keep it tidy and it never smells greasy. They have a sauce bar on the side but you barely need it because the broth already carries the flavor. The sauce bar leans more northern Chinese than southern. No sacha or oil stack sauces, but I am fine drowning everything in their chopped garlic. Prices are solid, service is quick, and they pack takeout really well. You get those nice reusable bags and sturdy soup containers that every Asian household ends up saving for leftovers. Definitely one of my go to spots when I want something fast, comforting, and spicy.
