Came in hungry after a light lunch and left satisfied, but not blown away. The place has a nice vibe--clean, modern, good portion of the menu for one person without feeling overwhelming. I went with the spicy broth, hoping for that deep, numbing kick... but it came out surprisingly bland. Not much flavor building even after simmering for a while. I've had better spicy bases elsewhere that actually make your lips tingle and keep you coming back for more. Meat selection was mixed: - Lamb was the biggest disappointment--way too dry and tough. I've had melt-in-your-mouth lamb slices at other spots, so I know it shouldn't be like chewing leather. - Brisket was solid--lean, not overly fatty, cooked up tender. - Pork belly was a highlight--cut thin like bacon, so it crisped up fast and tasted rich without turning greasy. - Tripe and beef stomach were both pretty good--chewy in the right way, soaked up the broth nicely once it finally started carrying some flavor. Overall, it hit the spot for a casual hot pot meal, especially when you're not starving. But for the price, I'd expect more consistent quality on the meats and a broth that actually delivers the punch it promises. Service was friendly and attentive, though. Might return to try a different broth or on a busier night when things are fresher, but it's not a must-revisit spot yet. Would I go back? Maybe. But I'd be pickier next time. read more

Came here for dinner. There was plenty of parking. We were seated right away. I ordered the original broth and it was pretty good. The restaurant had a sauce bar that you can make and take to your table. Sauce bar needed a little tidying up. It, also, has fruits. On the left of the sauce bar were small plates and bowls to put your fruits and sauce in. Just a warning, the forks and spoons were dirty. Overall, food was as pretty good and veggies were fresh. read more

Old Town Hot Pot - Dark chicken broth, beef brisket, fatty beef. - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Old Town Hot Pot is an affordable and nice place for AYCE hot pot! It's a favorite of many of my friends and I can see why. We stopped in for dinner on a Monday and got a table. They have a vast selection of broths and decent meats. I do wish there could be more options of veggies and other things. They recommend only a couple plates to start at first unless you know you're gonna finish it all, as they charge for leftovers. I got the spicy broth and wish it was a bit spicier. It was good. They had a good sauce bar but were out of soy sauce. The dessert is so so good. It's not too sweet and perfectly refreshing. It's a solid single serve hot pot place. And it cost about $30 a head. read more

This will definitely be my go-to hot pot restaurant in aurora. The prices are the cheapest I could find in town and the establishment is massive with tons of staff and tables to fit hundreds of customers. They give their meats out in large portions so I would recommend ordering just one of each plate just in case you can't finish them. The servers and staff were really friendly and quick to bring us our food and hot prepared items. Come here for lunch or come here for dinner and you will not be disappointed! read more

Food: Variety of meat & seafood, veggies to choose from. I like lamb, mud crab, shrimp with head, octopus. Fresh with big portion. Service: Fast service after you ordered. Quick refill on water & soup based. Ambiance: Traditional Chinese decors, clean environment, spacious with some private banquet room. Overall: Best value for your $ for unlimited eating hotpot in Aurora. Must try :) read more

I'm usually a sucker for hot pot and Old Town Hot Pot was one of those comforting places in town that hit the spot. You know, those places where you can unwind, wear your stretchy pants, and unbutton your button up kinda place. It's A LOT of food. I highly recommend the tomato soup base if you're unsure on what soup to choose. The tomato soup base has a very good flavor to begin with but can easily be modified to your liking with all the additional toppings and sauces. I do love that the smaller toppings or garnishes (green onions, garlic, lemons, etc.), sauces, and rice are self serve at a little bar station towards the back of the restaurant. Loved that the menu also displayed pictures of the proteins, veggies, and toppings that they offer for your soup just so you know what to expect which is always nice. Service was good. The server was always checking in on our table and kept our water cups filled. Lastly, the server brought our table a small surprise dessert on the house which was awesome and even though I struggled to keep up and go for more rounds of food, you know there's always room for a sweet treat! read more

Old Town Hot Pot - Wide variety of protein and vegetables to choose from! - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

It must be a while since dining at Old Town Hot Pot last time. Found quite a lot of exciting upgrades. Besides having the add-on AYCE skewers for $3.99, they also got a new condiment station, more organized and with more choices, including appetizers and fruits. Seemed like the turnover was high as there were not as many staffs and most were new faces. The service was prompt and attentive as usual though. read more

Food is very nice. Lots of variety. The skewers are amazing too, but sometimes a bit heavy on the seasoning (which they will adjust if you ask!). Service is great, attentive. If real busy you might have a little more time between check-ins. Ambiance is generally quiet. Just the din of conversations. Definitely on my list of go-to places. read more

Old Town Hot Pot is an AYCE hot pot restaurant. Their ordering style is off menu only; there is no self serve station besides the sauce bar. Personally, I like hot pot places that have the meats to order with the other options as self serve. Service was ok, not super fast or slow. I felt like their meat variety was great. Most hot pot places have way fewer options, and it was nice to see a lot of options that other restaurants don't offer. Their selection is definitely the best of what I've seen in Colorado so far. I was a huge fan of their included dessert though. It was a sweet dish that can best be described as jelly in Jasmine tea. I'd go back for this alone. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place if you want a hot pot experience that also offers less common options compared to the standard ones. read more

Great hot pot spot in Denver that I will be back again when I'm in town! We went back in April this year and it was snowing the day we went to Old Town. Perfect weather for hotpot. Service: can't remember the servers name now But he was great. He was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance: minimal decor with the large dining room. It's casual and family friendly. Food: the pot is kinda mini but quite cute for an individual pot. I love that they offer dark chicken herbal broth. I also love the seafood options here that the clams are huge and delicious. Lots of options for vegetables as well. I love that they offer many items on the menu that you don't see in other hot pot place. However, their beef quality is mediocre but justifiable for the price. Overall. It's a great hot pot place for seafood and veggie options. We will return on our next trip! read more

Came here with some friends and I think the pork broth here is the best pork broth I've ever had! So hearty and flavorful. I also liked the spicy broth as well!

Wish they had a cheaper lunch price on weekdays but it's all just one price read more

We went out for a family dinner and had a really great time. To be honest the spicy broth was not super flavored, but also I'm used having more spicy and slightly more salty broth. So that could be a personal preference. Overall, we definitely ate our money's worth and the environment was very family friendly. Very relaxed and very causal. And they weren't pushy about anything. Nguyet was our server (hopefully spelled that right). And she was SO SWEET, so professional, and just overall such a great server. Was there at all the right times and very efficient. Would go back just for the service. Overall, had a great time! read more

Enjoyed a great meal here at Old Town Hot Pot on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm. There was no wait and plenty of open tables. All of the staff members wore masks, which was nice to see from a health and cleanliness standpoint seeing as they do handle the raw food items being brought to the table. They were attentive, quick and friendly! One thing to note is that if you are seated at a booth, the benches are very hard and uncomfortable after being there for the duration of your meal unlike the cushioned chairs at the standalone tables. My husband and I made the mistake of plopping down into the booth too hard right off the bat and we both went ow! Besides that, this restaurant was delicious and had a nice variety of quality proteins, fresh veggies and carb options to choose from. The individual soup pots are fun and make the experience that much better to be able to try different soup offerings with whoever you're with and you can also control the heat for cooking your own items. The only protein I would say wasn't worth the time or effort was the whole blue crab. It had very minimal meat and was hard to eat as they split it down the middle and don't provide you anything to help crack open the claws. The sauce bar is also a fantastic touch to the place with a wide variety of flavorful options to build your own dipping sauces. I recommend mixing together sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar, a touch of sesame oil, ginger and cilantro! Don't forget to put on gloves as well to prevent contamination and germs from others touching the spoons. All in all a meal that is worth the price, delicious and the included dessert at the end of our meal had us saying we're so full and can't wait to come back! read more

We came here for dinner tonight, and he ordered the Dark Chicken broth, and I ordered the Tom Yum. We shared lamb, brisket, tripe, oyster, octopus, fish ball, quail egg, tofu, enoki mushroom, black fungus (wood ear or cloud ear fungus) mushroom, bok choy, lettuce, pumpkin, lotus root, broccoli, and winter melon. Phenomenal value, as you can order all you eat meat, sea food, and veggies, for the same price. We also ordered jasmine tea. Clean venue. Good service. Nice to be able to control your own hot pot. Haven't had as good as this since San Francisco and San Jose. A new favorite restaurant! read more

We went here because our usual hot pot place was closed and my daughter requested it before she went back to college. We were pleasantly surprised! The hot pot was excellent and we really enjoyed the variety of sauces. We also got meat skewers which were included in the hot pot meal and gyoza! Great food and experience! We had great service, our waitress was very helpful. read more

I have been on a hot pot frenzy! Maybe it's the cold weather or it could just be my cravings for good food. The trick is to come early like we did at 4pm on Saturday for no wait. I went here when it first opened and since then their broth game has really leveled up. It's soooo friggin' delicious. We had the spicy broth and the herbal broth. I truly enjoyed the spicy broth bc it was the perfect balance of spicy flavor without annihilating your taste buds. read more

This place was delicious! The restaurant is located in a strip mall in Aurora. The interior is nice and modern/remodeled. There is ample seating and each table has several burners for each place setting. They are all you can eat and all the meat comes in thinly sliced frozen rolls. The veggies are fresh and they come in plates with various veggies. I ordered the dark chicken broth and are mostly the fatty beef, lamb and brisket with lots of veggies. They have a sauce bar that I really liked. I don't know what concoction I put together but it was tasty and there were lots of options. The service was fast and they did a good job keeping our drinks filled. We really enjoy our time here. This is our go to Hot Pot place in the Denver metro area. read more

The meats at Old Town are better than most other hot pot places I have gone to but the broth is not as memorable. I assume this is so, so that the fresh cooked ingredients can take center stage as opposed to the broth stealing the limelight. For more common meat orders, like beef, pork and lamb, I would recommend this place. But for more exotic cuts of meat, I would go elsewhere. We ordered the tripe and intestines from here and thet were not as flavorful as we expected. The jntestines tasted more like gizzards. Then again, the more adventurous meats aren't everyone's favorite. read more

Old Town Hot Pot - Tomato broth hot pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Food was good, service was quick. Who doesn't love hot pot and alcohol? I was visiting my friend and they mentioned there was a good hot pot place recommended by their nail tech. Flavors are pretty authentic from what I'm use to. I come from a predominantly Asian community in Southern California (San Gabriel Valley) and this place was great. Veggie options were phenomenal and fresh as well. They have tangho (crown daisy) for all your Asian auntie needs. Meats were thinly sliced and fresh. Dark Chicken Soup base- was as authentic as can be. There was a piece of black chicken in the broth, it was silky and tender. You can really taste the hint of herbs used to simmer in the broth. read more

Okay Old Town!!! A couple of friends have been trying to get me down here alllll year and today was the day i finally got the chance to stop in for lunch! And let me just say..I have been missing out all year long! Came in on a Saturday around 2pm and there were plenty of seats available and no wait time. Our server was super quick and meant business. The kimchi broth was absolutely fantastic! It has a nice little spicy kick, the type that loosens your boogies. It was so good!! We ordered brisket, shrimp and potbelly for our meats and a variety of veggies. The portions are pretty big and could be shared with 2-3ppl but you can def order more as you go. Rice and sauce area was well kept, and I love that they have signs for customers to put on gloves for sanitary purposes while getting your rice and sauce. They have a wonderful Soju selection as well as other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. They have rooms you can book for larger parties as well. Definitely enjoyed myself! 10/10 read more

This AYCE joint takes Chinese hot pot to the next level with individual hot pots for each person, and it happens to be the BIGGEST hot pot place in Colorado?! You can start with building your own sauce at their DIY station. It's like having your own personal bubbling cooking station. With eight different broths to choose from, you'll be broth-ering yourself with the tough decision of which one to choose! Lots to select from on the menu with an assortment of raw meats, veggies, noodles, and dumplings into the hot pot. Be careful not to go overboard and turn into a "hot pot"ato. To get a little boozy, they offer a refreshing lineup of drinks. Wash it all down with some soju or beer because, let's face it, you'll need something to quench that fire in your belly. read more

The service at first was very okay. Then, disaster came. They limited crab, oyster and clams10 per person. This is a buffet???? There was nothing written on menu, and there was no clarification from server when we started ordering. Sounded like a scam to me :) never will come back here. Soup was not refilled, it turned so salty that I needed to fill my drinking water to dilute it. They only asked to refill my drink when it was not even half glass? Need a lot of improvement for this place. read more

As I move back to Colorado I am greeted by Kevin the owner as I come back to one of my favorite hot pot restaurants. THE SERVICE: The service is fantastic as always, in fact it is better, today I noticed that the food came out very quick, the waiters check in on you more often, and when there is a table with dishes the staff quickley gathers around the table and makes what looks like a insane mess be spotless in a matter of seconds. THE FOOD: I swear the food has gotten better here, the cuts are more whole and the sides have great portions. As always, I love this place, it gave me an amazing first impression as well as a second impression. I plan to keep coming here and I believe you should visit as well! read more

This is a fun place to eat with friends or family and opportunity to try a different dining experience. Great selection of everything. Plenty of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. Tables are tight for a group of 6 but made the experience feel like home. Service was very good and the broth was refilled upon request. Servers are friendly and helpful, they answered our questions and explained how service works. No issues with the hot plate settings, everything was working. There's a station with all kinds of sauce and garnish available. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. read more

Walk in is available for individual pots for a 4 person and 6 person tables. If you have parties of 7 or more, have to reserve in advance for private dinning rooms. Price is still $29 per and they do have a liquor license now serving beers and Soju. I like the fatty beef and blue crab. Broth is pork based, only one that is not is dark chicken. read more

Best hot pot place I have been to so far. Super fast service, good quality meats, decent selections of foods. It's almost always busy around dinnertime especially during the winter. Lots of selections for the soup base, all of the ones I have tried are good! Dark chicken has more flavor than the other non spicy soup bases. Good selection if ingredients to make your dipping sauce. I have been here many times and will never say no to coming back! read more

Absolutely disgusting. Smells bad, tastes bad, and my daughter is finally able to eat again after 2 days . Nope, don't try it.

I got mixed feelings on this one. The food was good, but the place is just like a hudge room with waist high walls. Another thing that I didn't like was the lack of chicken! Chicken is the main meat I get at hot pots and they don't have chicken here. That said the brisket, which my daughter loves, was super meaty - no fat. Best brisket at any hot pot I've been to. Service was good, no issues there. Sauce bar was good. The only things we didnt like was the lack of chicken and the atmosphere. I wouldn't tell anyone not to go here, but just keep those 2 things in mind if you are thinking of going here. read more

The food is awesome. Love that it's all you can eat. I got the original base, but spicy is also a good option. The employees are very nice. I felt bad because I had to change tables many times and they were fine with it. The interior is very clean and organized. It has Asian themed decor. And their dessert is very good. Jasmine milk tea with pudding, and it's refreshing. read more

Old Town Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Another great hot pot addition to the City of Aurora and Havana Street! This AYCE location offers a good selection of meat, veggies, and seafood. In addition, dumplings and seafood pancakes are included. A couple of items that are offered here that I haven't seen at other hot pot locations are the baby octopus (better than squid) and the lobster balls. The space is large and seems well cleaned and maintained. Gloves are provided and required at the sauce bar, which is a nice hygienic way to try to keep patrons a little healthier. But let's face it, it's still an AYCE hot pot, so is hygiene really your main priority? The staff are very kind and attentive. The one thing that this place lacks (mainly from a child's perspective) is ice cream. However, they offer a jasmine milk tea with custard dessert which is excellent. It's a more traditional flavor and not very sweet. Great for me. Not so good to the kids. It's a little farther from home than some other options, but I'm a big fan of Old Town Hot Pot. I've been here twice in the last month, and I'm sure that trend will continue. read more

There aren't really any hot pot places in Colorado that blow me away, but I like this place and Aki the best. If you have a large party, it's convenient because you can reserve a table! If not, I know the wait can be a while depending on the day. They are one of the few hot pot places with crab, but I typically avoid seafood in Colorado in general. Especially because it's no secret that the crab and other seafood is frozen. The meat is fine and same thing with other ingredients, including the sauce bar. My favorite part was the dessert they give you at the end (idk the name of it but it was delicious) The location is nice as well, being so close to HMart, Karaoke, and Tous les Jour. 4 stars because the service was great. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and they took the cake so we could make it a secret for our friend. They also gave us a knife, forks, and plates to eat the cake with! I really appreciated it. read more

Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Usually the AYCE locations you have to keep low expectations. But for the price this place is the best around the area. Service is great, everything came out so fast. Meats very really nice, great portions and didnt look sad unlike a lot of AYCE places. The veggies were so fresh, I have never been this happy with the quality of veggies at any AYCE hotpot even in other cities. They also have seafood pancake as part of the AYCE menu, doesn't have other appetizers like egg rolls so no biggie. One of the sad part was the Chinese doughnuts, they were not fresh, felt like they were kept since forever or they just thawed them and didn't fry after thawing, so may be skip that or see if you have better luck with them being warm/fried. There is a dessert with milk tea and jelly that is very light and refreshing, only AYCE hot pot where the dessert was actually worth eating. Going back again next week. read more
