Initially I was confused. The menu was very simple but a bit uninforming. Then however, we picked our soup base and then headed over to the incredible arrangements of vegetables, sauces, and so much more. This place is an incredible modern style location with minimal distraction and traditional food. Our waiter was super kind and didn't know too much English which made it more enjoyable. Tips. :cook the beef quickly without letting go. Try anything you haven't before. Get hot tea and specify. Don't get the boba, next door has real tasty boba. Price was perfect for what we got. Loved it.

A good place for Hot Pot, and when we visited service was perfect. I like that each person gets his/her own pot of broth, but the rest of the food can easily be shared. I had the spicy both which was just hot enough to give plenty of flavor to the food I'd cook. We ordered a small selection of everything, I didn't taste the meat but my friend enjoyed it (she got brisket and sheep), I especially liked the shrimp, lobster balls, mushrooms, dumplings and Packchoi cabbage. There is a buffet with condiments in the back of the room where you can help yourself. Hot Pot is all they offer and it's $30 per person, plus drinks. A great way to have fun while eating something different!

After our feast

Qi Lin Hot pot (Kirin Hot Pot) Mo was our server and he was amazing super nice very attentive and was always checking on us. The food was delicious the two of us ordered about 7 plates of meat and it was super fresh. The sauce bar is also super clean as-well as the complimentary sides bar we weren't cut off and they also have a free birthday drink coupon! I can't say enough though about Mo and how great he was! Definitely will be back. This hot pot place is a hidden gem all you can eat 30$ and not busy at all! Part of me hopes they don't become super popular so I can keep coming with no wait but I wish them the best and hope they get many customers! Thank you guys so much for a great birthday!

I've been to most hot pot places in Denver and I honestly think that this is one of the best places to go. This is very similar to Old Town hot pot (my other favorite) but is a much better location for me so I'll definitely be coming back. In my opinion this is one of the best all you can eat hot pot in town. The price is $29.99 for adults (I think they have different pricing for lunch). They have a good selection of broth. I really liked the tomato, the "truffle" is more of a mushroom broth I think and not actually truffle, the silky chicken is a bit plain. We ordered a variety of things and all of the ingredients came to us with great quality with a couple of exceptions: the shrimp didn't seem very fresh and the broccoli seems a bit old. The sauce bar is very extensive and they offer some appetizers like spring rolls, roast meats, and sesame balls. A suggestion for the restaurant is to include a couple of recipes for people who might need ideas on what to do at the sauce bar. The interior is very appealing and well designed. One critique is that the service wasn't very fast. This is understandable as it was the opening week when I went and they were very busy. Our orders came to us a little slow but we still had plenty of time to eat before our 2 hour limit was up. I'm curious to see if things improve next time I go.

If you want some classic hot pot flavor, without much fanciness and glamour, this place will do great. The store is pretty straightforward; You order your meats and broth, then head to their buffet for additional fixings and make your sauces. Their options aren't huge, but they carry the most important ones like lobster balls and other seafood. The scenery is pretty cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibe, with little style projectors on the walls to make it less drab. And the service could be better for meats, as they did wait til the end of our session to meet up with us again. Better luck next time, I suppose.

Great local hot pot restaurant. I came with friends who had not tried hot pot before. The restaurant is clean and tidy. They have a great selection of seafood and meats and vegetables. There's some appetizers like cucumber, salad, spring rolls, and edamame at the sauce bar. Lots of vegetarian options as well. This restaurant has individual soup pots. I had the spicy soup base which was perfect. We finished dinner with ice cream, which is part of the whole meal. we all had a great time!

5-star meal, all the way! Went for Mother's Day and we will definitely be back. Quality of food…read morewas great, and it was plentiful. So much to choose from, and our eyes were way too big for our stomachs. Will definitely cruise the sauce/appetizer bar before we order our table fixings, but you can find something for everyone on the menu. Staff was attentive and helpful, the vibe was fun, and the restaurant was clean and bright. So glad we found K-Pot!

This is genuinely the BEST hotpot I've ever had. And trust me, I don't say that lightly because…read moreI've tried quite a few hotpot spots around Colorado and honestly left disappointed almost every single time. Either the broths lacked flavor, the meats weren't fresh enough, or the overall experience just didn't live up to the hype. At one point I genuinely thought maybe hotpot in Colorado just wasn't for me. But my friends, who absolutely LOVE this place and come here all the time, basically forced me to give it a try, and wow, I'm so glad they did. From the first bite, I could immediately tell this place was different. The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting in a way that makes you want to keep eating even after you're already full. Everything tasted fresh, high quality, and actually well-prepared. The meats, veggies, noodles, and sides all complemented each other perfectly, and the whole experience just felt cozy and satisfying. Another thing that really stood out to me was the service. Every server I've interacted with here has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They genuinely make the experience even better because the atmosphere feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. You can tell they care about making customers feel comfortable and taken care of. Now it's literally all I think about whenever the weather starts getting cool outside. Like the second there's even a slight chill in the air, this place immediately comes to mind. It's become one of those comfort meals that you randomly crave late at night because nothing else compares. The kind of food that warms you up completely and makes you leave feeling happy and full. Honestly, this place changed my opinion on hotpot in Colorado completely. If you've been disappointed by other hotpot spots around here like I was, PLEASE give this one a chance because it is on a completely different level.

This is a good hot pot place if you also want dumplings. The hot pot itself is mediocre, some…read morebroths are extremely bland, the meats are okay and there isn't an abundance of veggies, but the all you can eat dumplings makes it worth it. My kids ordered several rounds of soup dumplings, pan-fried dumplings and chili wontons, which covered the price of their AYCE hot pot. The hot pot isn't bad, but with so many other options in this area, I'd suggest somewhere else. Food and drinks come out fast, the server is always around but not overbearing and even when it's busy it's not too much since the restaurant isn't too big. They also have a rewards program, so if you're a regular, you can save some money.

Overall, average hotpot. My favorite is still Old Town Hotpot in Aurora, but Yummy Hot Pot might do…read moreif you don't live near other hotpot places. We got tom yum and tomato broth, which both did not have enough flavor (too watered down). Meat quality was fine although lamb was a little on the chewy side. Skip the soup dumplings - they did not have any soup in them because all the wrappers ripped. Skip the chili dumplings - tastes like they just put some hoisin sauce on them so not sure why they call them chili dumplings. Lots of parking in the plaza. Staff are great. Cleanliness is fine although I do somewhat worry about other people contaminating the food at the self-serve station.

We indulged on mussels, clams, octopus, calamari, ramen, enoki mushrooms, brisket, and pork belly. Plenty filling, and our waitress was not only nice enough to give us a $10 gift card for next time, she also reminded us to grab an ice cream out of the freezer before we left. We will be back!

Always down to try a new hot pot place!…read more I saw a video on TikTok and it really inspired me to check it out. They do have a parking lot but it fills up quickly so make sure you go early or a little late and there should be a spot. You do have to wait to be seated, but it was relatively quick. You order the meat with your waiter, and then you go up to the sauce bar and make your own sauce. They also have a fried station where they served a couple of other options. Then up against the wall is where your veggies and noodles will be. I like this because then I can choose how much I want. I chose a traditional pork broth, and it was already brothy if that makes sense so the broth on its own was really good and then when I added my sauces, meat, veggies, and noodles, it all came together nicely. They do have a little freezer of single served ice creams and so I got a vanilla. Overall, for the price that you pay an the options that are included, I think it was a pretty good deal. It is all the way in Arvada so if you're on this side of town, definitely something to try.
