    5/5 All the veggies, noodles, miso soup, kimchi, sauces were great as usual. Will always love variety of everything. White fish & top neck clams -$6 mussels $4.75 5/5 dole pineapple swirl - firm, tart, amazing 3/5 strawberry watermelon $5- a bit too watery 2/5 matcha, mixed & vanilla swirl- these were melting out of the soft serve machine, temp too high prolly or the dispenser machine isn't working properly? they didn't even form a proper swirl, it dripped on my hand & all over the cone

    Honestly it's somewhat criminal that I've never reviewed Spring because she is truly everything to me. I've been coming here for years and it NEVER fails me. I love that they keep bringing in new things so that there's always something to be surprised by when I come (this time around, it was the squid fish cake and the taro noodles)! Basically you're paying for a hotpot buffet -- all you can eat veggies, noodles, and more. Pay extra for meat if you want it. The selection is unreal; there are so many different types of noodles, so many different fish cakes, so many leafy veggies, and an entire sauce bar for you to make your own sauces. And don't forget your matcha and/or dole pineapple soft serve to top off the meal. It's just perfect. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait, or come early/late for your meal! The line definitely does move, though!

    I love shabushabu. My very 1st time at spring was in Boston. I was shocked to found out that it was Acye (except for meat). Now fast forward to my time in NYC. Still is good and reasonably priced. Everything was super delicious. I do miss enoki and the fish ball with fish eggs in it. Matcha ice cream was still good. Good service and spacious location

    This is my all time favorite shabu shabu or hotpot place EVER. Its super vegan friendly- all the meat is served separately and additional charge. They have a wide variety of noodles at the noodle bar, soooo many fresh veggies to choose from, lots of tofu and fishcake as well. TONS of mushrooms! Their Mala broth is amazing, you can ask for a side of mala hot sauce, there is so much flavor you do not even need dipping sauce! The vibe is a fast casual place in the mall. The price is also a steal at $24 per person- back in the day it was $12!

    Pros: - quickly seated despite having a larger group and a slight waiting time. - self-serve ice cream !! - servers are friendly and very quick. - self-service sauce station, I love experimenting and mixing them Cons: - customers will "cross-contaminate" the tongs with other veggies or certain seafoods (fish cake, imitation crab, lobster balls, etc.) [not a super big deal personally, but this is just to note for others]. Comments: - went on a Monday (it was a holiday) around 7:40PM, there was a wait of about 15-20 minutes for a group of 5, we were seated around 7:55PM. - it can get very loud when it's very busy, and I mean VERY loud. - I've been patronizing this place since it first opened and still haven't really had any issues.

    This review is late in the making as I've been a loyal customer since they first opened years ago, and to this day I love this place - it never disappoints! Lots of hot pot places in Flushing has come and gone but this one is still packed on weekend dinners and especially during holidays ($23.95 for dinner/weekends/holidays, weekday lunch $20.95, children ages 0-3 is free, children 4-10 is $1.25 x age). Sweet deal, huh? Environment is large, spacious and clean. Service is fast, efficient, and friendly. This is shabu shabu without the extra fluff. I always just eat whatever is available at the buffet since I'm can do without the meat/seafood which can be ordered in addition, since they have the largest variety of veggies I've ever seen, good variety of soy products, variety of balls (meat/seafood/etc), rice cakes, fish cakes, fresh eggs (make your own soft boiled egg) and noodles. Rice and soup you can get yourself too. What I really dig are the small individual pots, so it's great for large groups where you may not feel comfortable sharing the same pot. Eat and cook whatever your heart desires. I always get the spicy pork bone pot, it's decently spicy since I'm a spice addict. They also have other pot broth bases, check out their menu/website. If your broth runs low just ask the waiter/waitress to help top it up. Bonus: soft serve ice cream station :0) Please note: don't waste food! I hope they stay open and popular forever!!!

    I love going to hotpot places especially when they have all the ingredients that I like using for my sauces and Spring did not disappoint! One thing that I like about spring is that all the veggies and fishballs are self serve. I know that it is usually unpopular for people to not eat the beef products, but I've always been more of a fishball girl so it works out perfectly for me. We ordered a variety of dishes for the table to share as well as walked around and picked up a couple individual items. The quantity of options that they have is great! I was full before I even cleared the plate of veggies and fishballs that I had gathered! The servers were very attentive and asked us if we wanted more soup when it was running low. The place is very big (hence the large selection) and we even got free dessert at the end (they have a soft serve machine!).

    Tl;dr: One of my favorite hot pot restaurants in the city. Affordable with good variety and quality. Most bang for your buck in terms of price and what they offer, which includes a wide selection of vegetables, mushrooms, noodles, tofu, and fish balls, which all feel like they're pretty good quality. Meat is a la carte, but prices are about $5 per plate and reasonable for how much they give. Sauce bar has good variety. Vanilla and matcha soft serve and pineapple dole whip are a great way to close the meal. Service ranges a little, but they are mostly attentive. Have to give some slack because it can get busy. The facility is clean, and considering the amount of people that go, is quite orderly. Overall, well organized and managed. Is it the most extravagant place? No. But it is delicious, offers a lot, and punches higher than the cost. Only qualm is that the mala broth isn't that spicy/numbing. May have to specifically ask for more spice.

    Favorite comfort spot for my girlfriend and I. It's a fun experience being able to just grab whatever food you want to cook in your hotpot. The highlight and differentiator for me is the soft served ice cream machines here. I always look forward to getting the green tea ice cream after a few rounds. I've come here probably at least 10 times in the last two years and I don't think I've ever had any negative experiences here. Staff is always helpful and attentive. Place always seems clean. It's also fun seeing them add more buffet selections over the years.

    We came here for lunch and it cost $47.90 for two adults. We ordered two hot teas (which were free) and ordered a side of beef ribeye for $5.25, paying in total $53.15 before tip. Service was great, we were seated right away and our server Ingrid Valentina was very sweet and helpful! Tables were constantly being bussed which was a nice observation. This place is a great value if you love fresh vegetables, noodles, and fishballs. Meat and seafood are an additional up charge on a different menu. After the beef ribeye we were totally fine loading up on the "free items." There's a great sauce bar where you can create your own condiments and dipping sauces. It varies from fresh herbs like spring onions, cilantro, to ponzu, soy sauce, chili oils etc. the combinations you can create is endless. Fresh veggies were regularly replenished and there were some interesting flavors of fishballs which questionable (there was a cheese fishball that tasted like Kraft cheese stuffed inside and it was our least favorite ball lol). Last but not least I love the self-serve ice cream machines! You can get a sugar cone or cup of either vanilla, green tea, swirl, or Dole Whip pineapple. This was an added bonus since most Asian restaurants desserts are non-existent or they are extremely disappointing. I would definitely come back again, we had a great lunch here.

    This is where you can get AYCE Japanese hot pot starting from $19.95!! We came all the way to Flushing for their hot pot as we craved something warm and healthy on a NYC cold day. They offer UNLIMITED veggies, noodles, and fish cakes, all nicely displayed in the buffet bar. Although meat and seafood are à la carte, the pricing is still affordable, ranging between $4 to $5.25. Each plate had a decent amount of meat (4oz). My favorite was the beef ribeye as it had the perfect marbling. Soft drinks are sold separately, but you get FREE refills throughout the meal. Lastly, don't miss out their self-service soft serve bar. We got green tea ice cream and dairy-free pineapple dole whip to cool down the palate. Soft serve is extra satisfying after having hot pot. I often worry the hygiene and freshness of ingredients at AYCE spots, but this time I was 100% satisfied by how clean the restaurant was. While the restaurant was really busy on weekends, their service was still very attentive as the servers kept refilling our drinks, broths and cleaning up the empty plates.

    We got here relatively early late lunch. We waited less than ten minutes for a table for 3. Service was quick and attentive. THERE ARE SO MANY CHOICESSSSS! We each ordered a different broth. The meat is fresh. If you are new to the concept the choices of sauces and everything can be overwhelming. But overall this is a great hot pot spot. The food is fresh. The price is reasonable. The ice cream is delicious! It's casual and bright.

    I've been coming to Spring since high school and it hits every time. They have a great selection of fish balls and soooo many noodles to choose from. My favorite is the jalapeno fish cakes that not many places seem to have. Note that this hotpot spot is AYCE, but just for fish cakes/noodles/veggies. Meats and seafood are extra per plate. We shared one plate of beef and it was enough. They're always busy so you may want to make a reservation for dinner, but we came during lunch and were seated right away. Not the star of the show, but they have vanilla, green tea, and pineapple soft serve for dessert and there's just something about it that is so perfect to end your meal with.

I normally…read moredon't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one. For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu. The place is clean and nice. For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced. We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it. Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things. The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it. The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow. The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty. The vegetables are fresh and clean. After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy. I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like. This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy. So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.

    Would you like to be transported back in time to ancient china?…read more How about just testing your spice tolerance to see if you can hang with the best? Well, if you want all of that, PLUS hot pot, look no further - this is the place to be! There is a reason this is one of the highest recommend spots to visit when you're in Flushing. First off, entrance? SO UNASSUMING. It's like, the tiniest door, with no real obvious signage. Once you go through, you basically feel like you're in one of the ancient alleys of China - decor is 1000% great. We had a larger party of 7, and they were luckily able to accommodate us since we lined up a few minutes before opening on a Friday. We actually got IMO the best seats in the house - towards the back, elevated up on some steps, a mini pavilion essentially. But enough about the decor.. how was the food? Well.. GREAT! And honestly, for NYC prices, not too expensive (but a bit pricy for flushing I guess). The quality was top notch (highly recommend trying the mala quail eggs) and the spice of the broth was GREAT! We went with medium since our server (amazing btw, thank you Sean / Shawn / Shaun??) said that he can't even go near hot, it burns his eyes. Medium was just perfect - felt great eating it with some sweats, regretted it the day after, which means I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Meats were good quality, veggies were yummy. I wish the shrimp paste had more in terms of quantity, we barely had seven bites for each of us, but it was really good. Also, pro tip, probably don't order Napa Cabbage, a lot of their other dishes will sit on top of a whole leaf, so you'll probably get enough from that unless you want to consume half a head. Sauce bar is $2 a person - which might be shocking for some to know they charge it, but it's pretty much the norm at a higher end hot pot place in big cities. At least they don't charge $6-$8 like some places and only throw in a few apps/desserts to try to justify it. Overall, really loved this place, and would definitely go back.

The service has been great every time we been here. The sauce station carries some snacks as well, such as pigs ear, seaweed salad, peanuts. I think this may change from time to time. I also recall them charging everyone $2 to access the sauce station when they first opened, but I didn't see that on my bill last week. Overall, this is a 5 out of 5 for quality, service, convenience, and overall experience. The space is big and you're not being crammed next to another party.

    'GO SOMEWHERE ELSE' We were extremely disappointed with our…read morerecent visit to this restaurant. Having traveled from Pennsylvania based on positive experiences Ive been here few times before, I expected a much better experience. The service felt off from the start due to I was speaking Thai and waiter/waitress likely judged that I do not speak English. My husband heard the whole conversation and it bothered him at the moment led him to feel unwelcome, but I told my husband that I don't care what they think so we can enjoy our meal. The overall atmosphere was rather strange for an all-you-can-eat buffet. The total bill for two adults came to ~$74 We ordered two sets of pendant bread () for takeout, and we left a $10 cash tip on the table. Almost immediately after placing the cash down, the waitress approached and asked if it was a TIP making a VISIBLY DISPLEASED expression before walking away. As we were leaving, I was confronted by the owner or head manager (me and him spoke Thai) inquired what was wrong with the service. He stated that the waitress had complained about the TIP amount less than 10%. We explained that we had not included the approximately $30 takeout order in our tip calculation, especially considering it was a buffet restaurant. A quick calculation would have shown that the $10 TIP represented roughly 15% on the dining portion alone, and the waitress's primary contribution during our visit was simply providing water and choice of 'appetizers'. I gave them 5 stars on google and yelp 6 years ago (going to delete it) I have always recommended this place to my boss and colleagues from NY, NJ to PA But I will have to retract my recommendation to them after this. I REPEAT 'DO NOT COME HERE' We will NOT be returning. While the food itself was decent but the UNGRATEFUL ATTITUDE and handling of the situation completely ruined what had otherwise been a pleasant meal. I REPEAT DO NOT COME HERE! They will not appreciate shit from you if it TOO LITTLE (for them). This incident was HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL. I wish I can get my $10 back. Just because you want more, then you DESERVE NOTHING

    went last night with 4 friends, pretty tasty! the quality of the meats were very fresh. the ayce…read moredeal can't be beat, $36.99 cash for both kbbq and hot pot (same price as doing one option!) the service was a little bit lackluster so i dropped a star, the lady made us wait 20 min at the staircase to be seated and when we were ordering she was impatient and rushed us, even though we shared its first time at the place (not new to hot pot)! we had high hopes for the spot and would've gone back if not for the service. ps the mushroom broth ain't it- so salty. do not rec.
