    I recommend this place if you're looking for a good authentic Chinese hot pot. Similar to Hot Pot Legend, but with the price a few dollars cheaper and more authenticity. Ambience could use some improvement, otherwise, interior is decorated nicely and lots of seating available. They're known for their AYCE hot pot menu, with a pretty good selection of broths and meats/vegetables/starches/etc. You can make your dipping sauce in the back (this is always my favorite part!). Their broth is super flavorful, my go-to is their Tom Yum broth :) Their menu selections are pretty typical for a Chinese hot pot, but what stood out to me were their fish cakes! I've been here two times already, and I would say their service have been consistently good both times. During non-peak hours, I can see the service being a bit slow, but overall, not bad!

    The Sichuan style cooking is delicious and healthy; You can ask for a lesser spicy food if you don't want it hot/ spicy. The hot pot are all fresh ingredients/ all you care to eat. I enjoy the green beans and tofu. Super flavorful. The interiors are tastefully remodeled with tasteful modern setting. Menu is family friendly with exceptional service and staff!

    Very disappointing. Came in with very high expectations and it was worse than mediocre.

    For the price, this place is solid. I enjoyed my meal, and it's good hot pot, but some improvements should be made. The meats are high quality and there are many delicious options to choose from, but the service could be better. They were nice, but disappeared for some time and felt like it was hard to get ahold of them. When we did catch their attention/when they came to check up on us, they were quick with bringing out our items. They were fast, just sparse. I absolutely loved how big their portions were. Compared to other hot pot places, they brought out a lot at once, which was great so I didn't have to keep ordering more of the same items. I also love the large selection of sauces from the sauce bar. BEWARE the sichuan spicy broth. I believe it was the only spicy option on the menu, but omg was it SPICY. There should be a warning label on the menu. My spice tolerance is quite high, but this was next level - so spicy it was almost unenjoyable. Even though the spiciness was painful and numbing, I liked the broth's flavor. I would probably come back to try another broth, because I did like their sauces and large variety of options for AYCE. Just be careful of the broth you're choosing, and be prepared to flag down the waitstaff!

    Now this is my family's favorite secret AYCE hotspot. for real this place is just a great result of tasty, fresh, unpretentious food. we were hoping to keep it all to ourselves until I started seeing food influencers sneaking in and filming. Now remodeled and named Schezuan Legends, the quality is still excellent and consistent even weeks after opening. Congratulations guys. my only note of concern is that the serving size photo references might not be clear, and that once in a while (every time) a bunch of the food we ordered will be missing in action. you'll mmmaybe get them at the end of the meal eventually lol.

    Clean and modern interior with great authentic soup base options. The food came out quickly and the waiters were attentive. All I would ask for in a hot pot place

Evelyn and Brenna were super attentive, checking in just the right amount and making helpful suggestions when we asked about specials. They made everything feel seamless, so we could just focus on enjoying the food and drinks. Speaking of food... HOT POT HEAVEN. I loved the all-you-can-eat selection here which included unlimited meats, seafood, fresh veggies, noodles, and more. My go-to broth will always be the tom yum! It is bold, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with literally everything here. For about $14.99-$19.99, you can upgrade your hot by adding premium A5 wagyu, snow crab, or a whole lobster. It's so worth it! For Lunar New Year, Hot Spot is running a deal right now where you buy 3 drinks, get 1 free, which is perfect for trying a few different ones! All in all, I can't recommend Hot Spot enough. I'll absolutely be coming back again and again!

We tried the Gingerbread Shooter, Yule Mule, and Mistletoe Martini, which were festive and fun additions to the meal. The AYCE hotpot is priced at $32.99 per adult. Nicole chose the Tom Yum broth, while I went with the Herbal Chicken Broth, both flavorful and comforting. For proteins, we ordered a generous spread including Prime Ribeye Beef, Fatty Brisket, A5 Japanese Wagyu, Pork Belly, Fish Cakes/Fish Balls, Lobster Balls, and Fish Tofu. The A5 Japanese Wagyu ($19.99 per order) was absolutely worth the upgrade--rich, tender, and indulgent. For starches, we selected Clear Noodles and Kalguksu, and our vegetable lineup included Napa cabbage, Bok choy, Crown Daisy, Baby Corn, Kabocha Squash, Enoki Mushrooms, Straw Mushrooms, and Tofu Skin Rolls, giving us a great variety of textures and flavors. Nicole skipped the dipping sauce, while I stuck with my go-to combo of soy sauce, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Overall, it was a satisfying and fun hotpot experience with plenty of options and great value, especially for groups or anyone looking to indulge in a wide variety of ingredients.

It can get crowded inside, but it has never been intolerable. It is very well maintained and clean. Sometimes service may be slow but you will definitely be served. The cuts of meat and the wide variety of self serve hot pot options have never disappointed. The vegetables and mushrooms are always fresh and nicely prepared. I usually stick to lamb and beef, and if you are satisfied with those then go for it. The meat is consistently well balanced and never too lean or overly fatty. Just beautiful cuts. I have tried several broths including original, spicy, tomato, and pickled veggie chicken and all were exactly what you would expect and very satisfying. For such an established chain, it is impressive that it continues to get better. Recently they added more beverage options beyond the soda machine, which is already included with the dinner price, including my hot pot favorite drink, plum juice. One thing to note is that if you try to go on Fridays after 8pm, you will probably not get a seat. I went once, but the waitlist was already hours long by 7:30pm so I went elsewhere. They also have a milk pudding dessert that is very good, but not sure why it was not available the last time I visited.....

As the name of this restaurant implies - the meats are the star of the show here. The self-serve veggie and noodle station leaves a bit to be desired - not the greatest selection - but sufficient for a hit of spinach or broccoli. I never see enoki mushrooms or crown daisy (Tong Ho) here - disappointing. Also, the floor gets unreasonably greasy to walk on about halfway through the day and stays that way for the rest of the night, so tread carefully! All of the meats on the standard AYCE menu are good/great quality. This is one of the only hot pots that does not require dipping sauce (even though I always concoct one anyways) because the broth is so permeating and flavorful. Best standard lamb I've ever had. Looking forward to trying the specialty lamb menu someday. So far it has been hard to resist the $21 midday weekday AYCE special, and the even better $17 "late night" AYCE special. This'll keep you coming back!

My mom is a big fan of their canh bun here which is a crab cake and water spinach noodle soup. You can also add fried soft shell crab for an additional cost & it tastes great with it. They are also known among Vietnamese people for their Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm because not a lot of restaurants in this area have it on their menus. During our most recent visit in April 2026, they have added a new noodle soup called Bún mọc which is a rice vermicelli noodle light broth with pork meatballs, mushrooms, and carrots. For the Vietnamese food, it tastes authentic and is very popular in the Vietnamese community.

    A HIDDEN GEM. Ever…read moresince I got back from Japan, I've been craving shabu shabu, specifically with sukiyaki broth. I will say the seating is a bit strange, but in a cool way. It's kind of like bar seating, so you can see all the action from the workers in the middle. And. Let. Me. Tell. You. The ladies working in the middle are so nice. They explain the menu, walk you through how everything works, and make sure to check for any allergies before you order. They start you with a side of veggies, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, etc., and a side of udon, even though they tell you not to use the udon until the end. Then you order the protein or proteins you want. After that, you basically squish squish until the meat is cooked and go for it. I got the signature beef, which is what they're known for, and the scallops. Both were very good and fresh. At the end, they mix all the veggies you have left with the udon, and it basically becomes a big noodle soup. You can always order extra sides or add ons, though. Definitely one of my new favorites!

Great service (oddly they're all REALLY attractive Asian guys... save for the front desk girl - and I'm a straight, married, asian male), prices are great for the quality of meat and service you get (they cook for you) They come with the little appetizer plates like most Korean restaurants do, and they all have their own little twist to them, not super vanilla but still keeping to their roots and simple flavors. The green onion one was particularly memorable Our side dishes were excellent. Cheesy corn and seafood pancake. Both come out in cast iron pan, so it's piping hot and super fresh. Corn is hella cheesy and paired great with the appetizers. The seafood pancake was DENSE - really packed with seafood and not so much filler We got their combo so it came with kimchi soup and egg soufflé. The soup was very simple, very spicy. The soufflé was a nice contrast - light, fluffy, honestly almost felt like a desert. We definitely done made a mistake because for two of us, by this time the meats were ready to be cooked, we were about 60% full - and there were 4 meats to cook through We got brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, and another beef I don't remember - ended up taking about 1/3 of it home and half the pancake Our server was attentive and busy managing other tables so it's great to see all these guys staying sharp Considering how much food we took home, the bill was quite reasonable. Eyes were definitely bigger than our stomach this time tldr; fantastic kbbq served by ridiculous hot Asian guys. You need a reservation to get a table here
