So sad to see them go. Xiao Long Kan was definitely one of our favorite hotpot spots in the area…read more The ingredients were always fresh, the soup bases were full of flavor, and we loved the sauces and side dishes at the DIY bar. Their weekday AYCE lunch special was such a great deal too! The portions were incredibly generous, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great value! Xiao Long Kan is also a well loved hotpot brand in China and has been a popular choice among hotpot lovers there for years. It was really nice to have one of their locations here in the area. Hopefully they are just looking for a new location and will reopen soon. We will definitely be looking forward to it.

I hope to see this restaurant open some other time, even if it's in a different place. From what I remember the soup was great, and the other foods we placed in them were almost nice. I didn't mind most of the things most people had problems with, namely, the "presentation." Honestly didn't really care because I really only enjoyed the food. The owner was also nice and chill, along with the rest of staff, hope they're doing well.

I hadn't been to this place in like 12 years prior to this dinner. I remember liking it a lot in…read morethe past. I do feel that this place needs to up their game. Other places have passed them by in some respects First there is no sauce bar here. Just four small containers of sauces you can use. Ironically none of those sauces are soy sauce. A darker possible peanut sauce, a sesame sauce, a pinkish possibly fermented tofu sauce and the standard chili oil. I wanted more as far as the sauce goes and I thought a sauce bar was pretty standard these days Second there is no AYCE bar with small snacks. Kind of interesting When ordering the meat, I guess they wanted to save a plate so the sliced meats just came in plastic containers. That loses some points with me on presentation Other than that everything is fine. They charge a little less for the broth than a lot of places do, so that's nice Got vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and a couple of meats. Overall it's a fine experience, mostly Ok to Good. But the lack of some things makes it more second tier for me and it would not be a go to hot pot place for me

They were very polite and simply asked us to settle the bill first, but they still let us sit, relax, and enjoy our dinner until closing time. They even told us that staying a little later would not be a problem. We really appreciated their patience, kindness, and flexibility. Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcome even though we arrived late. Great service and a very pleasant experience!

I got the classic ayce hot pot and mostly got the beef, lamb and pork belly for meats. There is a premium ayce option for $5-6 more but I was pretty satisfied with just the classic selections. I would rather pay the extra $5 to get dim sum, which was also not bad! I liked the siu mai, shrimp har gow (fave), and steam juicy dumplings. My bf liked the steamed chicken feet and garlic tripe as well (the tripe was p spicy). You order the dim sum with your server as the dim sum is made to order, which I preferred bc it comes out steaming hot. The buffet bar also has a variety of items from fried appetizers to veggie side dishes, fried rice, noodles and more!

They have a good selection of soup bases, including a peppercorn (Tengjiao) option if you like that numbing spice.

Parking is easy, and service is decent--nothing overly attentive, but it gets the job done. Overall, a good spot when you want something customizable and satisfying, especially later at night.

You choose your own ingredients, portions, broth, and spice level, which is perfect if you're picky or just want complete control over your meal. The pricing is based on weight and comes out to around $15 per pound, which I think is a solid value for a freshly cooked spicy pot. Their beef broth is absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. I found the mild to medium spice level to be the sweet spot, giving the broth a nice kick while still letting all the ingredients shine. The service was great as well. The staff regularly checked on us and offered water refills, which was much appreciated with a spicy meal. The interior is nicely decorated, and they also have a self-serve sauce station where you can customize your sauces and grab as much as you need. Overall, the food was outstanding and the experience was excellent. I would definitely come back again when I'm in the area.

I especially liked the spicy hotpot soup base - it had a great depth of flavor and the perfect amount of heat. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, Yintang is a great spot for a quick, affordable, and flavorful meal with friends or family. I'd definitely come back to try more combinations and explore more of the menu!

So incredibly spicy! But really delicious…read more I had been here once before with my boyfriends parents, so when he was saying he wanted something spicy, I thought this was a good chance to come back. Came around 9 and were able to get seated right away. I like the decor and the walls/shelves with trinkets. They also have tvs showing cooking of the side dishes which is fun to see as you chow down. We are used to ayce hot pot, but we weren't super hungry today, so we were okay with à la carte. We got the spicy broth and bone broth, beef broth, pork belly, fresh beef, 8 second potato, donuts, and a green veggie set. The broths were flavorful, but for me the spicy broth was too spicy! However, my boyfriend thought it was perfect (though by the end of the night, he was using mainly the bone broth). The meats were excellent and a good value compared to other hot pot places - ahem Hai Di Lao. The 8 second potato were large thin slices of potato you quickly cook in the broth. This was probably my favorite thing. I just love the texture of quick cooked potatoes. The sauce bar is not free but only $3 or so, and the selection is excellent. Lots of different options for your sauces and other goodies. I tried all the packaged snacks, and the only one that I really loved was the pickled braised peanuts. They also had desserts: sesame balls, coconut jelly, ice jelly, porridge. The coconut jelly was so good - reminded me of Hawaiian haupia. Service was also very good with food brought out quickly and water refilled fast. We ordered the "fresh beef" not knowing what it was, and when it came out, it was thick slices of beef with an egg on top. Honestly, we weren't sure how to eat it, like if we cooked it or ate it raw. Fortunately, the staff was friendly when we asked and explained that you coat the meat in the egg and cook. They also offered to bring something else, but we were good once we knew.

The only downside is that there's only one restroom for each gender, so there can be a bit of a wait during peak hours.

We will not be getting those skewers again and will just stick with the beef skewers. Their ma la tang pot is also incredibly seasoned and full of napa, beef, fishcakes, and noodles. The broth was so spicy and delicious that we got extra broth and packaged it to-go to eat it at home! Best of all, they had BOGO free beers on their menu for a decent price. It was perfect for just the two of us drinking that night, but they have more great drinks on their menu for a decent price. Overall, great food and vibes. Would highly recommend!
