Beautifully decorated hot spot location on Long Island with a shared parking lot. The staff are very friendly and the bubble tea we ordered was delicious! The sauce bar has a lot to choose from but is on the way to the bathroom, so sometimes a line builds up. The sets you can order are nice options and we also got the shrimp paste that came in the bamboo shoot. I especially appreciated the high quality chopsticks because sometimes the types you snap off at restaurants are prickly. At Potasia, the top is wrapped in plastic so it's a nice decoration plus makes it not splintery. read more

As one of the few hotpot places in the area, we were really looking forward to it, but the taste is just off and for the prices they charge. Some positive aspects are ample parking and large tables for group gatherings. The table setting is pretty with decorative chopsticks, but mismatched with the white plastic spoons brought with the hot pot ingredients The sauce station is small and lacks main hot pot sauces. The appetizers aren't to my taste, for example, the cold dish mu er (wood ear) is sweet. The staff is nice, but the overall food experience is mediocre. read more

Potasia - Hot Pot Near Me - Hicksville, New York

This place would be a fun date spot if you're both highly skilled in the art of Hotpot. I do not recommend for a first date as I had to check myself to see if I got anything on my outfit after every bite. This is more of a 10 year anniversary thing to do. I found this to be a very fun event but I personally struggled with the concept. Other than that, the food was very good. I did love the make your own sauce station. I personally don't know that I would go back but I do understand the hype for those who were better at it. read more

My family has been eating here for multiple years. It's been a staple going out place for us. We always have a good experience. Today we went and ordered as usual and there were flies everywhere. A fly got into one of our soups, and thank goodness we noticed. They gave us a replacement soup and more since there were some added in the soup already. I went to the sauce station in the back and there were flies and bug swarming all the toppings. This was disappointing and I hope this issue is resolved read more

The food was very good as for it had good quality it was plentiful and was very nicely played. The service is what brought the rating down because it took almost 45 minutes for the broth to come.I ordered tons of meat and it was all good, the broth is VERY spicy it was good but my mouth was on fire. Overall this place is a must have if you have the time to wait for food. read more

My favorite hotpot restaurant!!! From the outside it may not look too appealing but once you walk inside it's beautifully decorated. They have a make your own sauce bar with recipes of recommended combinations. I like to mix sesame seed oil, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and chili peppers to make mine. We got multiple combo 1's which comes with a variety of meats and veggies. With a herbal soup base and a hot butter base. I recommend not getting anything spicy past mild unless you can really handle spicy food since it's oil based. The staff is friendly, but for the most part they leave you alone to enjoy the experience and come around once in a while to check on you and refill your drinks. read more

Potasia - Combo 1 - Hot Pot Near Me - Hicksville, New York

Out of all the hotpot additions on Long Island, this by far is my favorite. No lie, probably eat here once a week and it's like a 40 min drive for us - but so worth the trip. Staff is fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. Love that it's not buffet style. This place is always clean and not as loud as the other hotpot spots on the island. Their sauces are fantastic! Sauce makes the hotpot and their sauce bar is on point. They take reservations, can get busy on weekends and colder nights during the week. read more

Love this hot pot place! It's close by to my house where whenever I'm craving something hot and savory, I can easily come here in just a short drive. The broths are tasty, and I love the selection of complimentary appetizers at the sauce bar!! We always load up on the edamame, peanuts, cold potato, wood ear mushroom, and more! The sauce bar also has a decent number of toppings and add ons! I thoroughly enjoy the meats, shrimp balls, and veggies (like the corn included in the broth)! The staff are nice and we always leave the place very stuffed. Definitely check out if you want nice comforting hot pot! read more

BEST FIND - Potasia is one on my best finds in 2022. I am glad I found this. I would highly recommend this place for groups. The restaurant has 3 variety of soup bases mostly pork based and trust me there are DELICIOUS and very limited options for vegetarian. The sides like peanuts, scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, sauces, garlic on the dedicated section and it is unlimited. They have ton of meat options and my personal favorite is dumplings . If you're a desi from south and enjoys Rasam, here is an additional tip: order a side of rice and have it with the soup. read more

A friend took me to an appointment with the understanding that we would have a late lunch afterwards. There was really no hot pot places in the area [we always went to Queens]. She, of course, found Potasia. It is a clean, spacious place with large comfortable booths. Each table has individual hot pots. You choose your pot of broth, choose your protein and assorted vegetables and noodles, let them cook in the broth and enjoy. The food is a la carte. The broths are very tasty and can be customized to taste. There are vegetarian options and an extensive dipping sauce bar. There are set menus for lunch and dinner. The food is very fresh and the staff friendly and very accommodating. Bubble tea topped off the meal. It is very reasonably priced and I would recommend and return. read more

If you are looking for a different kind of a food experience, just step right up! If you have never been here or to a hotpot place it can be confusing but I will try to break it down simply. The tables have heating elements and you order a soup and raw ingredients to cook in it. Order a small for one person and just so you know, the spicy soup is hellishly hot if you order the medium! Like so hot, it makes you cough, sweat and cry. Anyway I'm glad that I did not order that but my son did and liked it! After deciding on the right soup, you get to pick your ingredients. There are so many to chose from and it is very easy to over order. I got the vegetable platter which had cabbage, spinach, potato, carrot and bok choy. This could have easily fed 2-4 people depending on what else was ordered. I didn't know that each order was going to be gigantic so I also ordered yam, frozen tofu, tofu puffs and hand pulled noodles. I thought each was going to be one serving and I was dead wrong!! My son ordered beef, chicken, ramen and dumplings. There were quite a few very interesting things on the menu but we just couldn't order any more than we did. This was enough food for 6 people! The waitress must have been laughing inside when we ordered all of that! So while you wait for everything to come, you go to the back and make up your sauces. There is a whole wall of ingredients! They have 3 "recipes" you can follow to make different kinds of sauce. Spicy, hot & sweet etc. which are a jumping off point. I made the hot & sweet one, a vinegar based one and a peanut sauce with scallions. They also have some things that you can have as an appetizer. So you cook and eat, cook and eat. When your soup put gets low, they fill it up again. My favorite things were the bok choy, spinach, noodles, the frozen tofu and the tofu puffs although I wouldn't get both tofu's next time unless I was there with a bunch more people. The dumplings were good and so were the ramen noodles which were called egg noodles on the menu. I would definitely revisit Potasia and be much smarter about ordering! read more

So happy to find a great hot pot place in Nassau County! I had plans to meet a friend in the area and she said she was craving hot pot but didn't feel like going all the way to Flushing. I said I think I heard about a hot pot place near her recently, so I looked it up! There are plenty of vegetarian options. We shared combo #1 (various meats and veggies) and added fish balls. Perfect amount of food for two people. The waitress recommended the pork broth, it was REALLY good. I added spicy oil and it was perfect. Great food and service, highly recommend. read more

I was visiting some friends on Long Island on a Sunday night and we decided to give this hot pot restaurant a shot. Nassau has zero options for hot pot so I got excited to try it. Restaurant is colorful and has cute decor. Had some pop music playing inside. You definitely have to call in advance for a reservation because the seating is somewhat limited. Also, it's not All You Can Eat. You have to individually pay for each of your ingredients, which can be very pricey if you order a lot of them. Wasn't a fan of $5.99 for half an ear of corn. Now as for the ingredients, they all tasted good for the most part. Udon Noodles were my personal favorite. The corn was nice and sweet. I also loved the fish and beef balls. Tofu was tasty. The Sliced Beef and Lamb were okay (not great). Shrimp Dumplings - pass. These tasted off. As for the broth base, unfortunately the spicy mild broth was pretty underwhelming. The spices overpowered the broth and it didn't have much flavor other than the spice. I would say if you can't handle spicy, avoid it. Considering that this broth is mild, it really should not be that spicy! The service left much to be desired. We were brought over beef tripe, though we did not order this, and our mussels were never brought to the table. We told the server that these were not mussels. The server tried to convince us that it was seafood! We told him we never ordered this. Then he later told us that it was beef tripe and it was taken off our bill. However, the mussels didn't come to our table. Very disappointing. Considering the price point and quality, I still prefer hot pot restaurants like Spring Shabu Shabu in NYC. I suppose this gives an experience of what hot pot is like, though a weak one at best. If you're going to advertise yourself as the "first" hot pot restaurant on LI, then your product and service better be extraordinary. You would think? Update: The next day, I got an allergic reaction from the food. Keep in mind that I don't have any underlying food allergies. I will not be returning and would not recommend. read more

Was surprised to see a hot pot place on Long Island. Came here with a friend today to try it out. The interior is gorgeous and it really reminds me of the hot pots in Flushing. There's a good selection of soup bases and veggies (I'm a vegetarian). I got the mushroom soup base and some veggies. Veggies were fresh. I'd say the portion sizes were on the smaller end and the prices were on the pricey side. We ordered around 6-8 veggies and total was around $48 for two people. The service was fantastic and the staff were incredibly friendly. It's hard to find a hot pot place on Long Island. I look forward to coming here again! read more

Great Hot Pot Experience! This is my favorite hot pot place. It's perfect for a hot day. I enjoy the hot and spicy butter soup and my friend enjoyed her tomato broth. My favorite thing to cook are the bean curd skins, omg, so good. The lamb and beef combo is good, the meat is fatty, which I love. I like the pork dumplings better than the shrimp dumplings, but both r good. The shrimp paste is so yummy and so are the crab sticks. I also love that they have measurements on how to make different types of sauces at the sauce bar. I love the dim lighting, the seating feels private, and it's always clean. The customer service here is also great! Highly recommend coming here on a cold day! read more

Went here last week (Friday) with a friend and enjoyed it so much that I came back two days later with another friend. I would have given this place 5 stars but to be honest with you, with their prices ... I just couldn't. Granted, I don't have to prep or clean up but the fact that an order of udon is $4 and it's just one pack of udon noodles cut in half ... that hurts. The portions aren't big for the price but the fact that their customer service is spot on and the sauces are delicious, I'll come back for more. Side note ... On my second trip there, the bus boy told us that we could take our soups home ... I never thought about it but he said I'd be surprised if I knew the number of people who request their left over soup to go. Gotta say, made some noodles a couple days afterwards and used the soup ... YUMMMMMM!! read more

What a delicious hot pot meal! What is "hot pot" you ask? Hotpot, also known as steamboat, is a Chinese cooking method, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock at the dining table. At potasia, each person gets their own hotpot. The process is simple. You chose your spice level, broth, and then protein, carbs and veggies. Each add-in is priced accordingly. They offer three different levels of spice. Spicy, medium spicy and extra spicy. I chose a spicy chicken broth with sliced chicken, udon noodles, spinach, tofu and pork dumplings. Once everything comes out, you can put things in your pot. Just don't do everything at once because you will overwhelm the pot. My hotpot was tasty, but not at all spicy. Not even a hint of spice. There is a "spice" bar. You can visit it as often as you like. There are different spices, both dry and saucy. If going with a group, I highly recommend getting a few things and then sharing your add-ins together. Overall, it was a yummy experience. Our waitress was great and explained the process and everything else to us. read more

Great hotpot place in Hicksville with options of spicy Sichuan style mala broth as well as other broths. It is ordered a la carte for the hotpot meats, veggies, etc or in meal sets, but they offer a free hotpot sauce bar along with a buffet of appetizers, which is very nice to eat as your food is cooking or as an accompaniment to your meal. read more

Definitely 5 stars! Food was really really good and we had such a great experience with the service here as well! The internal decor was really nice, very fast service and food is absolutely delicious. Of course, food is pricey, however, paying for the decor and service, it is not bad at all! Definitely recommend their medium spicy butter pot, it is so tasty! read more

I enjoy a good hot pot every once in a while. I've been to Spring Shabu Shabu and really enjoy the soups there. The problem is it's in Flushing and sometimes you just don't want to drive out that far! I was happy to finally see a hot pot place in LI. I told my fiancée we have to check it out. No menu online but thought that's okay I know what to expect. Not too many customers so we were seated right away. $4.99 for the broth, I went with mild spicy and wow way to spicy! The issue I had is all I tasted was spice no deep flavors just spicy. I like my broth spicy and flavorful which I did not get. They had to take my broth back to the kitchen I don't know what they added but it came back less spicy but still lacked flavor. Two of our friends had their tomato base the only vegetarian option. Their mushroom broth contains pork bone. They really enjoyed their broth. This place was pretty pricey as everything is a la carte. So for 4.99 you get broth and everything else is an add on. Except for the sauces which are included, peanuts, cucumbers and cantaloupe. The two small soups and our add on options of veggies, noddles and 1 order of beef came out to 85 dollars no alcohol. I don't mind paying top dollars for an amazing meal but all I received was a bland spicy broth. I won't be back. At Spring Shabu Shabu you pay 16.99 but all the veggies, noodles, eggs, dessert and etc are unlimited and included. The only thing you pay extra for is seafood and meats. Maybe I would've thought better of the place if I haven't been to other hot pot places. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! Looking for a restaurant for a decent meal together? I recommend Potasia. Great ambiance, friendly staff, last and foremost, amazing food. The restaurant has its own theme for the interior decor as well as the plating and utensils. I love restaurants that do this. It's just so much in sync and pleasing to the eye. 8 adults and 1 infant in our party, to celebrate a birthday. Advisory: BE CAREFUL on selecting spiciness of the soup. It's quite spicy! Like Sichuan spicy. Mild is decent. Medium can be pretty spicy. Recommendation: 1. Exploding beef balls 2. Shrimp paste 3. A choy 4. White flour noodles I also want to say that all ingredients were placed on top of cabbage lettuce, we cleared the plates like we've been starving for days. We asked for the menu around 3 or so times. One waiter thought we were done and turned off one of our hotpot and one of the family member was confused why his pot wasn't boiling. Lol. I know I'll sound weird, but shout out to the restaurant owner who decided to have 100% handsoap in the soap container. Hands smell fresh and.. I mean, I just appreciate every little detail in this business. We ate and drank until satisfied and bill came out to ~$500 ($63/person). It's a little more expensive than most, but it's appropriate for the ambiance and the service. read more

We were super excited to go to long island's first hot pot joint!! We came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't super packed which was awesome. It took a few minutes for someone to attend to us when we entered, as the waitresses were also the entrance hostesses. Once we got to our table, we got our menus and were really pleased with the variety and prices (wait for it). My husband and I ordered the spicy broth, mild, and my sister ordered the milky pork bone broth. We also ordered shrimp, shrimp paste, sliced beef, fish cakes, puff tofu, broccoli, potatoes, green mung bean noodles, cabbage, enoki and wood ear mushrooms, and rice. They mentioned having some free apps and a sauce bar in the back, which we scoured and enjoyed the variety of sauces, but the apps weren't really apps, they were seasoned cucumbers, salted peanuts, oranges, and snap peas. Overall, the food was really great, an excellent swap if you're in LI and while I would certainly go back, there were a few things that made this place lose a star. -subpar service, no one had come to check on us after we got our broth add ins, and if we needed anything extra like extra broth when our pots were running low, we had to flag the waiters down. In addition, there was no one in the front of the restaurant when we came in. -similar to previous reviews, the prices did end up being steeper than flushing. For three of us, after tip, our bill was over $160. A comparable meal in flushing with the same add ins typically won't cost us more than $100-120 including tip, and the portion sizes were also smaller than other hot pot places we are used to. BUT all that being said, the broth was flavourful, seafood and meat was so fresh and delish, you could tell they used high quality ingredients, and another huge plus was a clean restroom. Truly enjoyed the ambience and we will be back, but maybe for the lunch special at a cheaper price :) read more

For the first time having pot i was a little uneasy going into it. I made my way out to Hicksville, NY with mixed feelings. The first thing you notice when you open the door is the smell. absolutely devine. I said to the people i was with. "This seems promising." Upon sitting down i was greeted with a glass of water and two checklists. i was told to cross the things out that i wanted. so i did. i was told that there were free appetizers and the sauce bar was open. So me and the group discovered the Buffet if you will and we made a plate for ourselves. The waiter took our checklist then in a few short minutes i was brought my pot of broth. he turned my pot on and we were rolling. the meat and veggies came next. after a minute the pot was boiling and i was unsure of how to cook the raw meat given to me. i just started dipping the stuff in the broth. after figuring out how long you want to cook your food you take it out and it's ready for you to eat. The food was delicious. At last we paid and on the way out there're was a bowl of complimentary candies. Lemme tell you i was taking handfuls of these things. they were amazing. If you are a fan of trying unique dining experiences like myself. this restaurant is for you. read more

First experience with Hot Pot. Ordered the bone broth soup because we were told that the spicy soup was VERY spicy (even the mild). All the meat and vegetables seemed fresh. They have a make your own sauce bar which was a little overwhelming if you don't know what you are doing. However, they do have a couple of suggested recipes so I followed those and the sauces turned out well. I added a lot of chili paste as well to make the broth spicier. The inside is nicely decorated and had a very warm ambiance. The staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. I would go back and try it again. read more

I wish I found this place sooner, because it is amazing. In short, you get a pot of broth and order proteins, veggies, and noodles ala carte. Dip the goodies in the broth and enjoy. I've tried a few of the broths. All except the vegetarian are pork bone broth. You can get it spicy, spicy butter, or plain. There's also a tomato broth I've not yet tried. My go to is the spicy butter. I can handle heat, but I get the mild spicy broths and it's plenty hot. The meats are fresh and presented beautifully. Decor is nice and the place is very clean. Finally, the service is top notch. Really wonderful people there. Highly recommended! read more

Potasia - Hot & Spicy Butter Broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Hicksville, New York

I always go to potasia for malatang or bubble tea(better than bubble tea chain in my opinion) service is great and food is good always.

Nassau County has ZERO hot pot options...until now. Located right off South Oyster Bay Road in the heart of Hicksville, Potasia gives the residents of Long Island a viable option without having to trek into Queens to get their hot pot fix. The decor is really nice - very classic and retro Chinese. They have both individual pot and communal pots for dining so you get to choose. Broth choices are numerous - pork bone broth, spicy mala, spicy mala made with beef fat, tomato and more. The pork bone was subtle and a bit creamy, perfect for those that like light flavors. The tomato was tangy and light, really flavorful. The spicy mala was very spicy but had a deep flavor profile. There's no sauce bar here. They pre-make their sauces here and you get 3 choices - universal (mostly sesame paste and nutty flavor), sweet sesame and hot and spicy (really hot and spicy with a bit of vinegar - excellent). It's a bit of a bummer that you can't make your own but the ones they give you are really good. Meat and seafood here was fresh. Veggies here were also very fresh. Service here was decent. Prices are probably a bit higher than Queens but its worth it when you're the only option within 20 miles. Also, it's a la carte so there's no AYCE option. We really enjoyed eating here, glad we found a spot that can scratch that hot pot itch during COVID. Thumbs up. read more

What a GREAT find. I cannot believe I used to drive all the way to Queens when this little gem is here on the Island. We ordered the tomato soup base which tasted hands down - BEST I ever had!!! I ordered the small pot and I also ordered the vegetable combo with crab sticks .... my bill was only $35 for 2 persons but we didn't order any alcohol. I think the price is VERY affordable and the tomato soup base will keep me coming back forever... the service is top notch read more

Great cozy spot for a healthy meal. Everything served so fresh to cook at your personal pot.

What would your last meal be? If you were able to choose the last thing you ate before you arrive at the Pearly Gates (if you're lucky) would it be Potasia? For me it just might be! Hot pot on Long Island? I think I am in love! A hidden gem at the end of a small strip mall. When you walk in the smell is invigorating. Is that the right word? Oh, it's lovely! You will have to go for yourself and tell me what you think of it. I have been here twice; each time with two girlfriends and I can't wait to go back. Everything is very clean and the staff is lovely. I ordered the spicy butter broth for my small individual hotpot. That's what I ordered last time and I loved it. The waitress asked how spicy I wanted it. I am happy I chose mild. It has a nice kick, but mild works for me with this dish. I also appreciate that they have a little buffet setup away from the dining area where you can create your own dipping sauces. Everything I tried was excellent. The ingredients are all very fresh. Come hungry because you will definitely leave full. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay with my meal. I am a happy camper! I honestly can't wait to come back. Would I be too much of a glutton to come here on my own? I might have to make more friends. Lol read more

As an avid lover of Flushing hotpot, I've been struggling this whole pandemic to satisfying my craving! Stumbled upon this place as it allows for indoor dining, being in Long Island. Definitely make reservations ahead of time so you can get the side tables with one fire! The waitress was nice to seat us but advised that we make reservations the next time. They have all the hotpot staples, duck blood, shrimp paste, beef/lamb etc. Since we couldn't get one large pot, we got two individual pots to share, one pork bone and the other hot butter soup, medium spicy. Both were surprisingly really good! They're also partnered with a bubble tea store. Yaaas Tea, so I got a Jasmine Milk Tea to go. I enjoyed this more than I thought! Overall, it satisfies the craving! It obviously doesn't compare to other hotpot places in Flushing, but definitely worth a visit! read more
