Came for the dishes instead of hotpot this time and they did not disappoint. All the plating was great and the waiters were attentive making sure we had everything. One dish I would recommend is Xi'an Cold Rice noodles, it's an appetizer but was on par for a dish. The proportion was on the larger side and it had a perfect spice, all I have to say was it was delicious and for $9.95 you cannot go wrong. The dan dan noodles were good, but I would say the cold noodles were better. The golden buns were also great, a classic dish that is always loved with a great crisp. We did get the wrong sushi roll, unsure if they misheard us or if they thought we pointed to a different one but I'm glad they did because the Thunder Roll was delicious. I think it was the yellowtail that was on top that tied everything together, it was just really good. Overall a great place for dishes if you haven't tried it before you won't be disappointed. read more

This place continues to be one of the top sushi/ hot pot/ Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. Some quick impressions: - Great, diverse menu, so there is something for everyone. - wine is fairly priced. We had a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon for less than $40 b As an operations guy, my suggestion to management would be to suggest two things: 1. The salmon sashimi I had was a bit cold. It may be because I was at the 5:30 seating, but it taste better cool, but not cold. 2. Not sure where the bottles of wine are stored, but our cab was warm. Analogous to the sushi, red wine is better cool to room temperature vs warm. Again, I am a big fan of this place. Just want to provide balanced feedback to make an awesome place even more ...awesome? read more

Came for lunch at 12 for their sushi. the place was busy since they had only 1 server running back and forth. Service was kind of slow. T&T Roll ($20.75 salmon, cheese, and avocado, deep-fried, topped with spicy crab meat, tempura flakes, tobiko, and eel sauce) - Hot hot hot, be careful not to burn your mouth. Creamy avocado and cheese melt in your mouth. Sexy Lady Roll ($18.95 crab meat, shrimp, tobiko, and avocado topped with torched salmon, finished with spicy mayo and eel sauce) - Just yummy as long as you enjoy eating light smoky flavor on the salmon due to torched. Sweetheart Roll ($18.95 shrimp tempura, avocado, tobiko, fresh mango, and fried shallots wrapped into a heart shape with soy paper, topped with eel sauce and spicy mayo) - clean and refreshing taste with light spicy mayo and eel sauce Philadelphia Roll ($9.75 Smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumbers, scallions) - creamy texture and savory flavor. California Roll ($8.75 Crab stick, cucumber, avocado, flying fish roe) - classic, nothing can go wrong. read more

This place was recommended by the concierge at our hotel. We went there for dinner. They had everything Chinese. Hot Pot, sushi, dumplings, fried rice and seafood. We ordered a few things. Shrimp fried rice, dumplings and sushi. People next to us had the hot pot. They said it was fantastic. Our fried rice was the best we've had in a long while. I wish we were here longer. We would definitively have come back for another meal. The service was excellent. Our waitress was always available and very helpful. I can highly recommend this place. read more

I've never....EVER....been WOW'd by a Chinese restaurant as much as I was WOW'd by Q Restaurant. We were recently in Boston for a couple days and were looking for a restaurant with good Chinese food. The concierge at the hotel had one recommendation: Q Restaurant. The five of us made our way to Q, not having the slightest idea what to expect. It was a Friday evening so we naturally anticipated having to wait for a table. We didn't. We were taken right in and seated towards the back of the restaurant and almost immediately greeted by our server, Johnny. Johnny was, in a word, AbsolutelyFreakingAwesome. He was funny, he was helpful, he helped us navigate the GINORMOUS menu...and he was generally very cool. He also kept our drink refills filled. I'm not exaggerating when I say the menu was ginormous. I'm guessing 12 pages with every possible kind of Chinese(ish) food you can think of. Sushi. Hot Pots, Traditional Chinese. Sashimi's (I'm always glad I don't have lisp when I write that word). Dumplings...everything. There were five people in our party and we can be a handful. Just deciding on an appetizer can be a task, so we ended up with 3 or 4 that we shared amongst us. For my entrée I decided on Beef with Hot Peppers (not knowing how hot those peppers were going to be). I don't recall what everyone else had. Johnny said that the Beet with Hot Peppers was his favorite item on the menu. Our entrees came out about ten minutes later and everything looked and smelled absolutely delicious. I couldn't wait to dig into my entrée. Chopsticks in hand, I dug right now. Yea...those peppers were, indeed, hot. VERY hot. Good, but VERY hot. The beef was very tender and tasty. I could handle some of the peppers, but not all...and that's saying something because I LOVES me some hot peppers. Our entire party loved our entrees and we had an absolutely awesome time during our visit to Q. The staff was constantly on their feet delivering food, refilling drinks, cleaning table, and welcoming new diners. Top to bottom, our visit to Q and our time with Johnny was 100% awesome. read more

My second time here; food is fresh and delicious and service is very efficient. One of the few places where you don't smell strongly of hotpot when you leave! Lots of broth variety, including veggie, chicken, and beef-based soups. We got the beef platter (thinly sliced beef, shabu style) and mala beef (very tender and marinated in a spicy sauce), seafood platter, veggies, and some quail eggs. Prices were fairly reasonable given the variety, quality and amount of food read more

YUM YUM YUM! It had everything we wanted - sushi, dumplings, hot pots - and each item was absolutely delicious. We're from LA and it rivaled all of our spots. If we were local we'd be back for all of our special occasions. read more

Loved this place, would recommend grabbing a reservation as it can be pretty busy. The lychee martinis were super strong but so worth your money and delicious. We did a sushi roll, avocado bomb and hot pot which were all so delicious. The menu is fairly large so there are options. It was a full and lively restaurant and lots of seats. read more

The bottom line: we did not try the food, but the service at the door was off putting. Tried to stop in at 5pm on a Tuesday--our fault that we had no reservations, and they had a two hour wait (good for Q for that on 5pm on a Tuesday)--but the hostess was pretty rude when my partner asked if there was any way to fit if we split our group. But, every door is a window and we ended up a block down at Liuyishu for a great meal--so, appreciated the bounce! read more

A truly delightful experience. Hao Mikkie provided exceptional service and wonderful drinks !!! The crab Rangoon was the best I ever had. So light. So flakey/crisp. read more

I haven't went here for a while and few weeks ago, I notice their happy hours (buy a drink and get two appetizer for half price). I believe it was 4-6 everyday or weekday. (check with them.) The overal experience was great! but bar only for happy hour. That said, I checked their menu and they have GuiZhou soup base in which I was surprised because I was at Guizhou last summer and I love their sour soup base hotpot. I decided to tried it today with friends. We were mostly chatting plus its been a while so I cant quite tell if it is authentic. That said, one thing for sure, quality was great! The only down side is they don't have that unique beef from Guiyang to match the Guiyang Soup base. The meat and selection may not be exclusive but pretty good quality. Oh and even they are not buffet style, the time for dining is still one and half hour. We were sitting at the booth area. I like it but it is a bit small for me. I wish there could be a bit more space. same as the table. overall, I would come back again to enjoy their food. The reason it is not 5 stars is because it could still feel a bit pricy. (just the soup base would cost around $20ish) read more

A little pricy but the meat was good quality and the broth options were super interesting!! The tonkotsu broth was yummy and reminded me of ramen broth and the mala broth was really good as well. The service was good and they had seating open on a Friday night, which was really convenient. read more

This is a nice Asian themed restaurant that specializes in hot pots. They have cozy boothe They have an extensive menu that includes Chinese dishes as well as sushi and Korean. Lychee martinis were incredible. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious and full of large shrimp. The calamari was the star and you HAVE to get this. It is outstanding. The soup (don't remember name) was enough to feed a family and it was sooo good! The servers were so nice and helpful even though we showed up near closing time. I very highly recommend. read more

This was my boyfriend and I first time getting hot pot! We did this on the whim around 8:30. The host squeezed us in and sat us at the counter top which was fine with us!! A reservation is recommended! You could see the chefs making the sushi! Everything smelled amazing. The waiter we had was so helpful!! He explained what broth was and what it was used for. He suggested a protein 2 veggies and noodles. We got crab Rangoon's to start..omg YUMM! The steamed soup dumpling had a good flavor as well although they don't specialize in this. We got the beef tray. This was an excellent choice! We got noodles which tasted amazing after in the sauce. We also ordered scallops that were fun to cook in the hotpot. The waiter even took the time to explain the soy sauce and add ons! We made our own sauce with the add on to dip our cooked items in-Delicious!! Cook Times the Waiter Told Us: Scallops: 5 minutes Noodles: 3-5 minutes Beef- 15 seconds medium rare 30 seconds well done Broccoli- 2 minutes although we let ours get a little softer! Keep stove 6/7 level go lower if bubbling! read more

Great spot for sushi and hotpot. Wish it was AYCE though. Otherwise, it is kinda pricey.

Stopped into Chinatown around lunchtime today with no wait, always a win. Karen, our waitress, was engaging and personable. The spot was clean, and the vibe was on point. We did half tonkatsu / half Szechuan hot pot; broths could use a bit more personality. We didn't wait long for them to bring out our food. I ordered the seafood platter, vermicelli, veggie platter B, chicken, and bean curd. He got some kind of red meat (maybe sirloin?) and really liked it. You can also order sushi and traditional dishes if hot pot isn't your thing. Drinks and desserts looked good, but I didn't try them. À la carte came to about $100 for two. Bonus: parking garage next door and it's next to the Theatre District. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant and the exceptional service they provide. The interior ambiance is warm and inviting, featuring tasteful decor and soft lighting that create a relaxing atmosphere. The location is conveniently situated in a vibrant neighborhood with easy access and ample parking nearby. However, the space is somewhat limited, which can lead to long wait times during peak hours without making reservations in advance. Fortunately, their queuing system is well-organized, ensuring an orderly wait. The food is consistently of high quality, prepared with fresh ingredients and expert skill, making each meal worth every penny. I genuinely enjoy visiting and appreciate the staff's attentiveness. My hope is that they continue to uphold this high standard in both food preparation and customer service. One of the main reasons many restaurants struggle is inconsistency, but this place reliably delivers well-cooked, flavorful dishes that keep customers coming back. Currently, it consistently surpasses expectations in both ambiance and culinary excellence. read more

Went for lunch, my daughter got 3 hand rolls which were very good. They have a system where they have plastic wrapping in the hand rolls and it is removed before you eat in order to keep the seaweed crispy. Very appreciated and well thought out. Soup dumplings were amazing, with great sauce. Soup was a little plain but very delicious. The restaurant was very clean overall with very efficient service and the server was very kind and attentive as well. read more

Great place to enjoy some fine dining. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The spicy tuna roll I got was a classic and satisfied my craving for sushi. The steamed chicken dumplings was a little bland but when mixed with my noodle dish it was delicious. I got the Mala noodle soup. It had a great distinct flavor and spice. It was light and refreshing to eat. Finished the entire bowl! It was affordable with it being in the city. Would love to come here again to try their hotpot read more

Great place for hot pot! We really enjoyed the meal, the service was fast and pleasant, and it's convenient to have $7 validated parking. Though it's important to note that the validated parking is cash only, but it's good for 4 hours, which is much longer than we spent here. We had two broths, one spicy, and one herbal. Both were great and it was nice to have that contrast. We enjoyed several vegetables, some thinly sliced beef, shrimp, and two types of tofu as well as rice and noodles. It's a great place for groups who want to share multiple selections. read more

It's our favorite authentic Mongolian hot pot. We get separate broths as we have a vegan in our group.

*** SOLID 4.5 STARS *** Delicious black bone chicken broth! So def order this for your hotpot. Mala and mushroom broth were also yummy. Pls refer to pics on this posting for my order. All the proteins were of high quality EXCEPT the beef tongue. Kids complained that it's rubbery, hence the 1/2 star deduction. Service was friendly and courteous. It was quite a busy night and we were lucky for scoring a table with only less than 10 mins wait. Highly recommended! read more

Q Restaurant is a great spot if you're looking for a solid Asian dining experience, especially for hot pot. They offer a wide variety of options, and it's one of those places where you can find just about everything you'd want -- from hot pot selections to a full bar, making it a great place to go with friends or a group. One thing that really stands out is the convenience. Reservations are quick and easy, and even if you walk in, the staff does a great job accommodating you. If there's a short wait, they're upfront about the timing and work quickly to get your table ready. The atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, and the overall experience is smooth and well organized. While it may not be a perfect five-star experience, it's definitely a reliable and enjoyable place that I would recommend, especially if you're in the mood for hot pot or a fun group dining experience. read more

Food was amazing! We had the miso soup and crab Rangoon, Sexy Lady sushi roll and crème brûlée. All superb! Service was meticulous!

Came here for my youngest 18th birthday. Party of 5. Fun atmosphere & good vibe off the bat walking in. Had a reservation. Promptly seated. Great server -extremely knowledgeable & funny. Apps: seaweed salad. V yummy & both steamed & fried dumplings. Both Delicious. Had to get Mai Tai & I liked it 3 girls did the hot pot. Very interesting to watch & learn. They loved. I had the Sexy Lady Roll & tuna avo roll. Both were absolutely tasty & fresh sushi. I did a little dance in my seat from having good sushi. Ended with a birthday slice of cake with sparkler in it (nice touch!) WELL DONE Q read more

Came here on a weekday for a work happy hour with a reservation, however the place was pretty empty around early evening time - we probably could've done without the resy, but it was nice having a guaranteed table. The ambiance felt very modern, sleek, and clean - definitely felt upscale as well. The menu had a good mix of various Asian dishes; we didn't get hotpot, but I've heard pretty solid things. We ended up going with their happy hour-esque deal which was discounted apps as long as we ordered enough drinks - with a large party, that was pretty easy. We got a sushi boat as well as several appetizers which made it very easy to fill up. Everything was very solid. I enjoyed all of their appetizers - my favorite was probably the scallion pancake and crab rangoons. Sushi was also very good, albeit a bit expensive. Overall, service was very good (although it did take a long time to get the check, but other than that, very quick and attentive) and the food was decent. I wouldn't mind coming back in the future to try their hotpot. Thanks, Q! read more

i'd like to start by saying the food was amazing 10 out of 10 no complaints at all about the food. The ambiance is slightly edgy but very warm and welcoming all at once. One thing I would say that left me a bit unsatisfied was the service. Although I did have a reservation i was waiting 20+ minutes after for a open table and hardly any compensation or apologies until we were seated. Staff was very nice and comforting. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Had a wonderful experience here on a Friday night! We walked in without reservations and were seated within a 15 minute wait. This was the perfect place for us, since it had hot pot, sushi, and other asian dishes to meet all our cravings, and managed to execute well on all of them. We started with the sashimi sampler (7 pieces for $15), which was fresh, delicious, and a great texture. Would recommend. We also got the spicy cold noodles starter, which was cooked to the perfect soft texture with spongy tofu and flavorful spicyness. Would recommend. For hot pot, we got 1/2 clear basic broth and 1/2 guizhou red suantang, which was a spicy tomato-based broth. It was definitely pricier than all-you-can-eat hot pot places, but the ingredients were good quality and delicious. Would recommend. The service was very attentive, checking in at regular intervals, refilling our waters, and taking away finished dishes. The high ceilings, booth seats, and seats at the sushi bar make this a good place for date night, families, or an outing with friends. Will definitely be back! read more

Drinks good sushi equally as good. Will def be back for the hot pot! Everything was fresh love it here.

We loved the food here! Everything we order came out hot and fresh. We ordered beef fried rice, the seasonal lemon chili shrimp, General Gaus chicken, and pan fried dumplings. Service was fantastic, we sat at the bar because we couldn't get a reservation. There's was a bunch of hot pots around us that looked amazing I'll definitely try that when I'm back in town. read more

Came here for a work lunch and the group was pleasantly surprised. The waitstaff was polite and patient with our group as we decided what all we wanted to order. We ordered some of everything: ragoons and wings for our appetizers, and dumplings, hot pot and fried rice for our meals. Everyone loved their food and everything was amazing, so much that we considered coming back before leaving. I had the fried rice and it was seriously some of the best I've had. Keeping it on my list if I'm ever in the area again. read more

I made a reservation but wasn't hungry enough for the hot pot so we sat at the bar instead. The bartender was super friendly and quickly asked us what we would like and gave us our waters. I got the Mai tai to start and we ordered tofu pad thai with no sprouts and the steamed soup dumplings. The food runner brought out the pad thai with sprouts and the bartender quickly sent it back to make it right. The Mai tai was tasty and pretty. The soup dumplings were nice and juicy. The pad thai however, was not very good. As you can see in the photo, there was next to no sauce. There was a tiny bit all the way at the bottom. I definitely don't recommend the pad Thai. For my next drink, I got the Lychee-tini which was slightly sweet and lychee fruity. The bartender recommended I get the Dragon Lotus as his favorite drink and I'm so glad I took his recommendation. It was the best drink & so pretty! This is a nice spot for a date night or a group of friends! read more

Very nice. Lovely decor; not too loud; neat drinks and very good food. All the raw veggies and seafood for the hot pot were very fresh; and the broths are mamzing.

I would rate this a ~3.5* for what we ordered, but it was immediately clear that people come here for the hot pot (and maybe sushi), not for what we got. Steamed chicken dumplings were bland, even with the sauce. Chicken stir-fried udon noodles flavor and quality were comparable to something from a food court, but they respected my request for extra veggies. Shrimp with snow peas was good, lots of sweet garlic. Crab rangoons were small/not very stuffed, mostly fried. The atmosphere wasn't the coziest, but service was very quick (food was brought out in ~5 min) and our waiter was very nice and patient with us. Ultimately, unless I'm coming for hot pot, I probably won't return. read more
