on sat and sun, no buffet and it is ala cart style. we had wanted to do gen but it was one hr wait. this spot in the mall had no waiting. it was party of 4. we start with mushroom combo + veggie combo + kobe beef, pork belly, and lamb shoulder. that end up being more than enough as my friends were light eaters.. end up being cheaper than AYCE i hate it when the options are only 18% 20% and 20+ for tip.. i almost always go 10% out of spite when i see this.... especially in chinese place.. how dare they when in China there is 0 tip! i guess when i saw that it end up being less than AYCE i just got lazy and tapped it... looking at the bill in more detail today, i didn't even realize they charge $8.97 for sauce... i think we did one sauce plate and the other one was fill with kimchi and pickle cucumber... i should have done 5% ...smh food wise, no complaints. everything was as expected. nothing really wow me.. so 4 stars -1 for the mischarge on the sauce plate.. it didn't feel right being charge for soy sauce, but it feels worst for being over charged one extra sauce... read more

We went last night for our mom for Mothers Day (party of 6) and now we are ALL fighting for our lives! We definitely got food poisoning last night. I DO NOT recommend going here. They were extremely unorganized and understaffed on a busy day. We asked for rice at the beginning of our meal and it came right when we asked for the check. The waiter was nice but I don't think we will be back. We spent a lot of money just to spend all night and Monday morning in the restroom. read more

Very upset and disappointed at the obvious shrinkflation. Shoo Loong Kang used to be my favorite hot pot spot I'd go to when I'm craving hotpot. They've completely changed management and their menu is no longer accurate. No longer ala carte but forced AYCE. Quality has gone downhill. All the meats we ordered were frozen sheet blocks, you can't even pick up a single slice to dip the meat. All the premium meats are gone, the only options now are the cheapest 4 slices of meat (that again, are frozen sheets with frost on it). We took two couples with us, and it was so disappointing because this was their first impression of it. I flagged down the server to have fresh cut meat, and they brought out more frozen sheets. I know it's not their fault, but honestly just disappointed you can't even experience even dipping the meat in the broth. Ran out of sweet potato noodles and only had cheap ramen noodles/udon. They added new buffet trays of fried cheap French fries and chicken nuggets on the side. I'm praying that the other locations aren't moving to this model, would not recommend this location. We paid a bit under $300 for 6 people. For almost $50/per person, you could get a better and more filling meal elsewhere. read more

You are able to get up to 3 broths but I just got the original pork bone broth and the spicy one. They have a sauce bar with appetizers, a fried food section, and then hotpot toppings such as vegetables, noodles, and meat. They have a dessert section as well. The meat quality was decent, nothing exceptional. I would say that my experience here is average. 4 cuts of meat does not feel worth the value of how much you are paying for all you can eat here. I feel like I would have a different perception if I did à la carte instead read more

My friend took my boyfriend and I here since we were on the way to Buccees but wanted to eat some dinner that wasn't BBQ-related (we had a lot during our weekend visit). We shared a 3 soup base and I'd say my favorite was the house special, but the golden chicken was good too. The mala was super spicy so it was a tad painful to eat but if you can handle spice well, you may enjoy this. You order on a tablet and they have a station with snacks, DIY sauce, and a freezer with ice cream for dessert. We ordered the combo but added various other items plus golden fried buns. We had a lot of food for 3 so we came away with leftovers. Our waitress checked in on us regularly and the ingredients came out quickly. There is a large but busy parking lot. read more

They have a lot of options for hot pot topping to pair with different broth flavors. It's a decent size restaurant and the employees are nice, but Haidilao's service is at a higher level that nobody can compete. For pricing, I prefer to go to Nan Hot Pot ($40/pp) or Chocho Hot Pot ($50/pp) because AYCE. At Shoo Loong Kan or Haidilao, you will spend around $60 each average but not getting all the stuffs you want. read more

Probably the best hotpot in Dallas. Fresh food, great flavor, I've been here about 8 times. It's a great spot for groups too. The staff are really nice and the service is fast. read more

Great hot pot! We did the late night pricing after 8pm so it was quite affordable. Broths were great! I didnt personally have any issue with the food, but about 3 people in our group of 8 got food poisoning the next day unfortunately. Might be because of the late night visit--we had all come before during normal hours without issue! Would still recommend! read more

Hi, my name is Pauline and I'm a hot pot junkie. It's actually gotten to the point where the staff has started to recognize me and my husband. When they said "welcome back" to us I just knew I had a problem. Shoo Loong Kan is actually my favorite hot pot in the DFW metroplex. I don't like to mention other restaurants in my reviews but I love Haidilao but don't love their prices. Shoo Loong Kan is very similar to Haidilao but cheaper! I love their spicy mala beef tallow broth. It packs so much flavor and burns so good. My husband loves their tomato broth. They have a great selection of good quality menu items and a stacked sauce bar. read more

I really wanted to like this spot, but the lack of hygiene was a major dealbreaker. We came for the "Meat O'Clock" special (weekdays before 5 PM) and were the only ones there, yet the service and cleanliness were still lacking. The Major Red Flags -Cleanliness: My plate and chopsticks were dirty when we sat down. At the sauce bar, over half the bowls were dirty. I had to keep pointing it out to the staff to get clean ones. -Maintenance: The snack/dessert bar looked like it had been sitting out all day, and many items were empty and never refilled. -Service: Despite telling our server we'd never been here, she didn't explain the sauce or dessert bars at all. The Value: The pricing is steep for the quality of service. The soup base is a flat $20 (1-3 flavors), and the sauce bar is $3-$4 per person. For just two people on the meat special, our total was over $70 before tip. For that price, I expect a clean table and attentive staff. Pro-Tip: You can ask to take your soup base to-go when you're done, which is the only real plus here. Honestly, there are too many great hot pot places to settle for this. If you want a similar meat special with much better service and a spotless environment, just go to Haidilao. We won't be back. read more

I like this place overall, but the value and way they charge for things here kills it for me. And, it's frustrating when restaurants don't provide pricing transparency online so you don't know what you're getting into or how it's going to work. So basically, the bases are the same price regardless of whether you split it into one, too, or three types. So you are starting at $20. Meat orders are 10 bucks each and if you are going to get at least 2 then it makes sense to get all you can eat at $20 more, I think it was. One problem here for me is that you can do that, but then you get killed on any vegetables you want to add. I get it, they have costs associated with these things, but I'm never going to feel good paying $5 for a small bowl of raw broccoli. Similar for anything else you want. I have been at other places where if you are buying all you can eat meats then it includes veggies too. That probably works out well at a lot of places for them too; when your cost is fixed they would rather you eat some greens and fill up sooner so you don't order more meat. That's my theory, anyway. Ended up at $100 for lunch for 2 people that I could have done at similar restaurants for closer to $60. I did enjoy the dine but 2 stars are for low value and lack of pricing transparency. I don't normally ding on price but if they don't make it apparent in advance and surprise people with this sort of model then I think it's fair game. read more

Awesome food, awesome hostess who help us with the menu. After 8:30pm, they offer 20% off. Dessert is HAAG Daaz.

Shoo Loong Kan - Haagan Dazs ice cream as dessert - Hot Pot Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Disappointed to see them manipulating ratings by offering a free watermelon juice in exchange for 5-star reviews. It feels like an unfair business practice that masks an underwhelming dining experience. Dining area is clean and well-ventilated, the food quality is mediocre and the selection is incredibly limited compared to other options in area. Also seemed understaffed at lunch. If you want high-quality ingredients and a vast menu, competitors like Hai Di Lao and Chou Chou offer much better alternatives for your money. read more

The food is amazing, the golden chicken soup base is I credibly tasty. I have it 4 stars because they should label the buffet items and also the service is wildly inconsistent. read more

Second visit to this location in the last 4 months and this time we brought a group of 8 for my uncle's birthday. Originally I was hoping to have 10 ppl and when I called in earlier the day for a reservation they offered a VIP room and mentioned a $300 minimum purchase. The waitstaff said with even just 8 people we could definitely spend $300! Since two ppl weren't able to make it we decided to change to a regular table instead and the service on Sunday night was pretty hands off. We had to ask for tongs ourselves, they didn't give us any bowls even though we ordered rice. Everyone enjoyed their food though. We got the golden chicken broth which is so flavorful and savory. And we loved the tangy zip of the tom yum broth. For proteins we got 3 orders of premium fatty beef to eat with the golden broth and 2 orders of basa fish for the tom yum. Tofu fish cakes to eat with both! For veggies we got 2 of the assorted veg platters and winter melon. And we also got the tri-color noodles and one order of rice. This was a good amount of food for our group and we had room to get ice cream down the street afterwards! Oh I almost forgot we tried the pork hock with the cumin seasoning I enjoy. I'm curious to try their other locations. The food is presented nicely and quality seems good, maybe we just went on an off day for service. read more

Broth, service, quality of ingredients, vibe, interior... Shoo Loong Kan is probably #1 in vibes and ambience and also up there in terms of service and quality of ingredients. My friend and I love hot pot, so we came this past weekend, and I think this location is even better than the one in Chicago. It's so clean, and our waitress was so attentive despite how busy she was. She came to fill up our water multiple times and even gave me a hairtie and an apron. She also gave us a rundown of the menu and handed us some really cute freebies at the end! It happened to be the 15th day after CNY, and everyone got little bowls of tangyuan, which is such a thoughtful touch. Broth is pretty good, but it's not my favorite in the city. However, that doesn't really matter because their sauce bar is stacked and you can make a top notch sauce with their ingredients. Everything is really high quality. The meat comes out beautifully. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, and it actually makes you feel as if you're sitting in a restaurant in China. 10/10 would come again. This has become one of my favorite hot pot spots in the city! read more

I see the hype now. I don't really like hot pots that charge per item because with so many all you can eat with excellent quality, it's hard to compete. However, this place has quality proteins and choices. The soup options are excellent! I came with a girl friend of mine and we enjoyed everything. Here's what we got: 3 flavour pot : the choices we got were the golden chicken broth, mushroom, and the medium spicy hot house mala beef broth. The mala beef broth was still extremely spicy even in medium so if you cannot handle spicy, just don't order this. If you can handle spicy, I'd still suggest getting the slightly spicy. This coming from a girl who LOVES spicy food and grew up in Malaysia. From all the choices, the golden chicken broth is the best. I love the flavor. All the meats are good. I recommend the lamb and ribeye. They are well marbled! The veggie selections were just okay but I do wish they would sell enoki mushrooms. I skipped seafood for now but they do have a lot of selections and look pretty fresh. I cannot comment now but I may update if I do try it. Now, they do charge you for sauces which is like $3. This is common in Asia but not really in the US so I was pretty... shock but not too bothered since the practice of charging you for every little thing is something I know too well. All in all, it's a great place for delicious hot pot. read more

Amazing Hot Pot Experience! I had such a great time at Shoo Loong Kan! The soup bases were incredibly flavorful -- the spicy broth had the perfect kick, while the creamy bone broth was rich and comforting. Every ingredient was fresh, from the beef slices to the handmade noodles. I especially loved how the servers helped with cooking tips and kept everything clean and organized. The dipping sauces were also fantastic and customizable, which made every bite taste different. It's the perfect place to go with friends -- cozy atmosphere, fun experience, and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommend if you love authentic Sichuan hot pot! read more

Another good option for hotpot. It is Al la carte! I thought the selection was pretty large and you get to order from an iPad. My favorite broth was definitely the spicy one.

Took my mom for her birthday dinner and we hadn't set anything up with the restaurant but I assumed that maybe when we walked in with the bouquet of roses the staff realized it was a special occasion! The attention to detail and the service was so amazing they made sure we had everything we needed and the orders came out sooooo fast. The soup bases were great, we got bone broth, golden chicken and tomato. Our clear winner was the golden chicken it was super flavorful and rich! We definitely indulged and enjoyed everything. I really loved that the menu also had already cooked things as well. Sauce bar is always a plus at hot pot and I thought the selection was pretty decent. It's not as extensive as other dfw spots but I built my usual sauce so I was satisfied. One thing I'd love to mention is that this restaurant is large party accessible! We had 6 people so normally that's a booth or a round table but the seats were three booth benches basically and it allowed entry and exit on both sides so we never had to wait for someone to scoot over which was absolutely amazing, especially if you wanted to get more from the sauce/small appetizers bar. read more

We went on a Tuesday for their 20% off deal and the restaurant was about 1/2 full for dinner. Ordered 3 different broths to try since it was the same price regardless of how many you pick. The pork broth and tom yum were my absolute favorite broths, better than most other hot pot places. But their spicy beef broth wasn't my favorite. We ordered ingredients via an iPad and the food came out quickly within 10 mins. They provided excellent service the whole time. And I love that they give you Haagen Dazs ice cream at the end. Highly recommend! read more

Service is great. I like that it was the same price despite the number of broths - we tried the mala spicy (lowest), tomato, and golden chicken. They all tasted great. We were given a tablet to order the sides, which I felt was convenient. They do charge for the sauce bar, which I felt was overpriced as there were not many choices, and they did not look fresh. The seafood and meat do look pre frozen. As far as DFW hot pot, I would say this place is top 3. Don't forget to ask for complimentary haagen-dazs ice cream! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in DFW. It's the type of food that is worth the 45 minute drive. They have several types of broths and sauces to choose from, my favorite being the beef tallow. Their meats and vegetables are amazing quality. The most recent we tried was the prime rib and the wagyu beef tongue, which were both honestly the richest, most flavorful meats i've ever had. My top 3s on the sides are egg noodles, spam fried rice, and enoki mushrooms. Additionally, the service is top tier. The servers/hosts are extremely attentive and helpful - even giving out good quality hair ties when you sit down. This restaurant offers a nice vibe, amazing food, and 10/10 service. It's a must try. read more

I assume the food is good.I wouldn't know. Came in for a late lunch/Early dinner. I was told that since I was dining alone.There would be a ten dollar extra charge on top of the 36.99 AYCE price. I immediately got up and left. As a business traveler with an expense account, I don't really care about the ten dollars. It's not my money. But purely on principle. I refuse to reward this kind of thing. There was literally one table at the time of my arrival. So my dining alone does not take a table from a larger group. Very strange policy no thank you. read more

The quality of food was evident. Experimenting with the various dipping sauces was another highlight. The server/manager was super nice.

Came here for the first time tonight! It was very packed for a Saturday night and we had to wait for a bit. Approaching the entrance, you can see the bustling atmosphere through the windows covered in lit lanterns. Even at the front door you can see groups waiting, and across the hostess desk is a very cute wall of dragons. 'My' was our server, she was very attentive. She greeted us as we sat down and immediately had cups of water ready for us. We were a party of 6, and ordered so much. She frequently checked on us, and was very active with taking our orders and serving them. She was very sweet and always made sure we were doing okay. For once in my foodie life, I let my friends take the wheel with the ordering. Shocking, I know. But since they introduced me to here, I figured I wouldn't be disappointed. We had a variety of slices of beef, fish, squid, and an abundance of vegetables. They had a large sauce station with side dishes. Everything was really good and tasted fantastic. Can't wait to come back! read more

I made my second visit today for drinks and snacks at the venue, and my third overall for hot pot. During my visit, I appreciated the manager's courtesy in permitting me to sit at a table instead of the bar while enjoying my beverages and socializing with friends. As someone who frequently eats out and has a strong affinity for hot pot, I've cultivated an expertise in evaluating exceptional dining experiences. P.S. Even if it's a hot pot restaurant, you don't necessarily have to go for hot pot; you can still enjoy some light refreshments and beverages from their menu. If you go, tell the manager Jenny recommends! read more

Extensive menu and attentive service . Ordering from your table is a nice perk. Refills of broth are included.

I really think Shoo Loong Kan Hot Pot in Richardson is the top spot for hot pot in Dallas so far. The broths are rich and flavorful; we tried the mild spicy, Tom Yum, and bone broth. All were excellent. Service is solid, and the meats are fresh and high-quality. The complimentary Häagen-Dazs ice cream at the end is a nice touch as it smoothes the spice from the spicy broth and plus I love Häagen-Dazs ice cream .

This hot pot place hits the spot!! Plus we went on Tuesday when they had 20% off! Staff is quick to respond and helpful with any questions. Although it's not all you can eat, it's well worth it for their flavors and freshness. We got Tom yum and bone marrow and the spicy one. The spicy was definitely spice and I had to take a break and have some of the other soups because my mouth was burning but that's also when it's best. The meat was yummy and fresh. They had everything hot pot places usually have on the menu read more

Went on a very cold night--place was 75% full but had no wait. Food is fresh, but the price is steep. We spent $147 for 2 adults and a kid (only 3 meats, mostly veggies).

I recently visited Shoo Loong Kan Hot Pot in Richardson, and I was excited to try it since hot pot places aren't very close to me--I usually have to drive over 35 minutes. This restaurant was beautifully decorated, and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. We went around 5 pm on a Friday, and although there was no wait, it looked like it could get crowded later. One thing I didn't realize before going was that it's not an all-you-can-eat hot pot, which is the type I'm used to. That was on me for not researching ahead, but I was definitely surprised by the prices. The meal ended up being quite expensive, so I couldn't try as many options as I typically would. Another small challenge was that the ordering iPad doesn't indicate portion sizes very well--photos make some items look smaller than they actually are, and there aren't ounce or portion descriptions. Because of this, I ended up ordering more than I needed in some cases. Overall, I enjoyed the service and the delicious soup bases, and the experience was pleasant. However, given the price, I feel there are plenty of similar hot pot options in the DFW area that offer the same experience at a better value. read more

My favorite was the Kobe beef and tiger shrimp, the pork belly and the meat balls were awesome too though! The little ice cream at the end was a nice surprise. Would recommend for a first timer at hot pot! The staff saw us struggling with the chopsticks and noodles and offered to help! Ver friendly! Ambience was nice I will say... it is spicy!!!
