It's pricy, but you can taste the quality of the meats and other ingredients. The lamb and beef cuts are so tender and marinated well that I don't even add any of the other sauces. The make a house sauce at the table, but the self-serve sauce bar has a bunch of the classic sauces, along with some fun snacks (kimchi, seaweed, prawn chips, taro balls, etc.) I really liked the chewy mochi texture of the taro balls. They all serve some complimentary chicken portions. The fish tofu, Napa cabbage, udon noodles, and Wagyu scallion pancake were all great as well. I'm also obsessed with the complimentary soft serve at the end--I don't normally like soft serve, but the milkiness of this one and the cone really hits the spot! I like how everyone gets their own small pot and can choose their individual broth. We walked in for three people at 6:15 on a Saturday (after calling ahead), but it was pretty busy by the time we left. read more

Busy on a Saturday evening but for good reason - excellent hotpot! We had a reservation through Yelp but it might've just been that thing where it holds a place in line for you? We arrived on-time and waited another maybe 5 mins for our table. No biggie. I really love that each person gets their own soup pot. Makes it much easier when you've got a variety of spice levels to deal with. Everything we got was fresh and good quality. The restaurant space itself is very nice and modern feeling. Pretty large with a variety of table spaces and sizes. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. Service was good and they were pretty busy but it was only felt in my drink being delayed from the bar (placed before we ordered any food but showed up only after food arrived. Husband's beer arrived super fast though fwiw) My only gripe is the menu on the iPad thing - there are no descriptions of anything (including cocktails). We kept trying to click stuff on the iPad to see the description, but it was adding it to the cart. It would be great if there were descriptions, so you could see more detail about each item before you order (at least for the cocktails). We ate à la carte but the AYCE was starting while we were there and it looked pretty dope. Lots of good stuff laid out in large qty. All in all we will probably add this to our hotpot restaurant list and will return again. read more

Hot pot dinner with friends is just what we needed for a cold evening to warm up. Make sure to make reservations as The Dolar Shop does get quick busy. We had 6 people so we made sure to get there on time. They gave us a table to order - drinks of course came first then we decided on food. They have an all day happy hour menu. For food, each person had to decide on the base broth and we decided on toppings Then selection of proteins and veggies we wanted.... Also, what type of noodles one wanted as well.. decisions decisions. Once all was placed, our server would confirm then start bring out the food for us to cook. Ribeye was good...of course. Yes, it is a bit pricey though when you add it all up. All the sauces and additional toppings and desserts were in the back. this included instructions on how to make your own panda ice jelly. So make sure to leave room for dessert. Be careful as you cook as the temperature of the pot does steam up and they do bring water to continue to cook. Pro tip - don't wear your finest clothes as you will smell like hot pot when you leave. The location is a few blocks from the train station so there is a bit of a walk depending where you come from. Overall food and service were good and very filling. Good for a cold nite out to warm one up. read more

This place is overpriced à la carte, but cheaper with an ordered set. We did not want to order an individual set because we are not very hungry and do not want to waste food. It is just ridiculous that the soup base costs $9.99; it is considered bland, especially the tomato soup paste. The beef short rib was soft; it melted in your mouth. The only thing that is worth the price. The mocktail/cocktail is not worth the price. Customer service was so so, I got blamed when the tablet was below 10% battery, and by the time I wanted to pay, the tablet was dead. There is a CC processing fee if you use a credit card. Just a heads up. read more

Amazing hot pot experience. You pick your own broth base and then choice of meats + veggies. The broth didn't take that long to heat and everything came out so quickly. When we saw the topping bar we were flabbergasted... unlimited delicious toppings for sauces & little dessert-y things like lychee bubbles and even fruit. It was heavenly. So nice to have an opportunity to try some new flavors. Place was large and clean and all I could think about was how I wanted to bring all my friends there. read more

Let's start off 2026 with a review on the best meal we had on our nyc trip. Individual set meals with unlimited refills on udon noodles. Udon noodles are basically what my kids would only eat at hot pot places anyways so it was an amazing deal for us (The usual place we go to back in LA charges $3 per small bowl of udons to cook.). In addition, they have a full bar of snacks, sweets, and make your own dessert soup. Did I mention they are super kid friendly? Our server, before we even got our menu, already handing out little toys to my kids. Totally won all of us over before we even see food on the table. Loved the foods, service, ambiance - everything about this place! read more

Definitely on the pricier side, but really good quality! The broths were delicious, the ingredients are pretty varied and super fresh, literally sitting on ice that gets replenished often, and it's so convenient to just order the meats off a tablet at the table. I'm also a big fan of the after meal soft serve they give you. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while, but since it's not in our neighborhood, we only really remember it when we happen to be nearby. The first time we tried, they told us they had no availability even though we could see several open tables. We didn't argue or make a scene, just left and didn't come back for a long time. Recently a friend told me they're actually very good, so we decided to give them another chance. We arrived around 12:05 on a random Tuesday. They were still setting up, so we waited about 5-10 minutes and then were seated. As first timers, we got a quick intro to the menu. You can order individual sets or a la carte from the iPad. What we didn't realize is that the individual pots can have two broths, which is something usually reserved for larger shared pots. That was a very pleasant surprise and definitely a plus for a future visit. The sauce station in the back wasn't as extensive as some AYCE places, but everything was noticeably fresher. Our individual sets turned out to be the perfect amount of food and included a little bit of everything we would have ordered anyway. I mistakenly ordered extra spam, not realizing the set already came with it. It was good, but we didn't need the extra food and ended up having trouble finishing it. The creamy pork broth was rich and flavorful, and all of the ingredients were super fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. At the end they offer vanilla soft serve in a sugar cone, which was a nice way to finish. The price was cheaper than the AYCE spots, and we left just as satisfied. If anything, the food quality and broth flavor here were better. We'll definitely be back. read more

I loved how everything was set up and tasted! It truly felt like a premium hot pot experience. The pork broth was fantastic and you can season it with as much or as little as you'd like. The meats were delicious and at the end of it all we were happy and full. The service was impeccable as well. Any questions we had the server was there to help us, he was very patient and recommended the best choices! The ambience was also 10/10 it's very clean, lost of family and friends of all ages were there and I will go as far as to say the other customers were super nice as well hahaha anyways I'll be back when in the area again. Check em out! read more

This is a more premium version of your typical hot pot - you can tell in the quality of the meats (and also the bill lol). It's also an individual pot so you don't have to share your broth. It's a more limited menu though so you might not find every ingredient you're looking for. Overall I'd recommend it! read more

Quality wise, this might be one of the best hot pot places in Manhattan. The meat and veggies are both really tasty and fresh, and are complemented by a solid sauce bar and various types of broths to choose from. There are also a variety of non hotpot options, though our group didn't get as much of those items. My only gripe is that it isn't AYCE (apparently it's only AYCE if there's a certain amount of people in your party?) and the price can start adding up, but I think for the quality of the food compared to some other hotpot places it is somewhat justified. There was a generous amount of seating in the restaurant (we were able to get a reservation for a table of 14), and the staff were friendly and accommodating. This was a fun and tasty place to get dinner, and I will definitely be back again. read more

Solid hot pot spot in the east village the features individualized bowls rather than the more traditional, shared larger pots. Service is typical for a hotpot spot. You order from an iPad and food shows up. There's a sauce bar where you can make your sauces. Servers are quick to help if you ask for it. Food was good. Nothing revolutionary but solid quality with the usual hot pot items. The meat was tender and the seafood was fresh. Produce was well trimmed and prepared as well. I did feel that this place was a bit expensive for what they're offering, but I wouldn't say it's a bad value. Note: there's AYCE after 9:30pm. Haven't tried it, but it has piqued my interest. read more

The Dolar Shop - Dessert - Hot Pot Near Me - New York, New York

I was here for lunch. This Dolar Shop is across from the AMC. They have a spacious venue. This is hot pot but not AYCE! I was confused how to order, but the easiest way is to get the set. You choose meat, soup, and appetizer. Then they give you a veggie plate. It's a lot of food. The flat iron beef set is only $26.99, so I think that's a pretty good deal for all the food you get. Each person has their individual stove and hot pot. You can adjust the heat yourself. There is a buffet-style condiment and dessert bar in the back. Those gummies got me!! I was eating so many gummy worms and gummy bears before the food arrived. The napkins and chopsticks are on the drawer under the table. Service was great! They were so nice. I was here to celebrate a birthday, and that's what we indicated on the reservation. They provided a scratch card and honored that promo for that meal! Bathroom is downstairs. (Elevator available, but it said staff only) No Wifi. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. (3% credit card fee) ^If you fill out a survey, you get the 3% fee waived. We got this in addition to the birthday promo! read more

The soup bases here are amazing. The "silver soup," which is their white pepper pork broth, is absolutely delicious. The tomato and oxtail soup bases are also impressive--definitely among my favorites I've tried in New York City. The soup base comes with chicken and pork stomach strips, adding great texture and flavor. We ordered the prime beef, sliced very thin at about $30, and a seafood platter featuring scallops, fresh tiger shrimp, oysters, and shrimp paste. The waiter shapes the shrimp paste into small balls for easier cooking, and you can actually see chunks of shrimp in each piece--it's definitely a highlight. We also ordered various vegetables, tofu, and mushroom dishes. The total bill, pre-tax, came to around $150 for two adults and a 5-year-old, making this a fairly pricey spot. The sauce bar is one of the best I've seen. Their sha cha, beef, and shrimp sauces taste homemade and are incredibly flavorful, with plenty of ingredients to mix your own combination. The dessert bar stands out too, with Chinese jade jelly, different types of tapioca balls, tasty red bean paste, and a variety of toppings like pistachios and other nuts. However, cleanliness is a major issue. Many customers are young, and the sauce and dessert bars often appear neglected--messy and not cleaned promptly. Random items are scattered around the walls, open cabinets, and even on tables used for storage. The open kitchen looks disorganized. It's clear the owner has a great concept and high-quality ingredients, but the operations feel poorly managed--more like a chaotic street-side eatery in China than a Manhattan restaurant. Though the food is excellent, the untidy dining environment is a big downside. A bit more care and organization could truly elevate the entire experience. read more

Delicious hot pot and broth with good service but definitely very pricey. a la carte was $54 a person but i was definitely very full so could probably order less. I really enjoy the dessert bar at the end to make a coconut milk mochi fruit soup. That was a highlight that is also unique to this place. Because of the price point, i would consider going again if someone else suggested but it wouldn't be top of mind for me. read more

Any all you can eat dining experience HATES to see me and my big bro coming. Big bro is from Taiwan, and is more protein oriented than any other human being I've ever met, and his physique is proof. He's JACKED. He's like an Asian Johnny Bravo. I'll always recommend restaurants and he'll text back with "ehhh I'm just not seeing a lot of protein on the menu." When I recommended Dolar Shop, a Chinese hot pot restaurant in the East Village, I got the "I'm down" text. Those are tough to get from big bro. We walked in ready to go HAM, as it's all you can eat past 9:30pm for $46. We always get our money's worth out of an all you can eat restaurant. Hot Pot is cool because you pick your broth, mix your sauces from the sauce bar, and get full plates of raw meat and cook them right in the flavorful, boiling hot broth. This is only my 2nd time having hotpot, and it's such a unique dining experience. I've found the best way to learn about a culture when you can't hop on a plane is to try the food. Our feast consisted of the following: Flat Iron Beef (3x), Beef Boneless Short Rib, Chuck Eye Roll, New Zealand Lamb Flap, Beef Short Plate, Rib Eye, A Choy, Sweet Corn, and the Fish Roe Balls. Our favorite was the flat iron beef, as we got three orders of it. After our meal, we were as full as Ben Simmons after he got a max contract, but there is always room for soft serve ice cream. If there are two things in life I am an expert on, they are soft serve ice cream and rotisserie chicken. This soft serve was ELITE. I was feeling myself and tried to do the DQ Blizzard test on it, and failed miserably. My ice cream fell straight into the hotpot. I almost tried to cook some meat in my new ice cream flavored broth, but took the cowards way out. I'll be better next time, all I can do is try to improve everyday.

Soup bases are some of the best I've had. Items were good but not stand out. One of the few places in Manhattan with a large enough dining table for large parties of a dozen or so people.

Have been coming for their AYCE after 9:30 for the past two weeks and this may be my new favorite AYCE hotpot in NYC! This place only had personal pot but you're able to do two different broths per personal pot. I have tried their spicy, tomato and bone broth and my personal favorite is the tomato and bone broth combo. The best thing about their hotpot was the quality of their meat. Sliced beef in AYCE hotpot is usually way too lean or way too fatty but the beef was perfect here! My favorite cut was their USDA rib eye and I would recommend only getting that cut for beef! Their veggies, seafood, and noodles were self-served on the market table. There were a lot of options and I loved how I can just grab it myself so I could control the amount and reduce food waste. They also had a lot of dessert options and you can also ask them for a mini soft serve! The AYCE was only $46 per person and this was so worth it for the quality of the food. The service was also amazing the last two times when I was there. Highly recommend coming here if you don't mind waiting until 9:30! I was able to walk in for the last two times but I would recommend making a reservation if you can! read more

This place was a BLAST!!! The vibe inside was so nice and the tables were great. They accommodate larger groups which was perfect!! They had a bunch of "sets" which you could get that was pretty perfect. Comes with an app, a platter of your meat of choice, various veggies, noodles, and UNLIMITED SOFT SERVE!!! The hot pot was great, I loved that everyone gets their own personal small pot! As opposed to other places where the table has one large pot and you have to have a designated cooker and you lose track of whats going in lol. Here everyone got to choose their own items and their own broth flavors. I got the smooth pork broth which was very well flavored and creamy, as well as the spicy broth which had a nice amount of heat to it. Starting with the app, I chose the cucumber salad and it was pretty tasty! Sweet, salty, refreshing, fun to eat. For the meat I chose the flat iron beef, idk why this one was calling to me but it was really good. It cooked so quick like about 10-15 seconds in the broth. I chose the deluxe veggie platter for my sides and I'm so glad I did because it came with PUMPKIN and POTATOES!!! I put the potatoes in right at the start so that theyd cook about halfway into my meal. The pumpkin was amazinggggg so genius to have that in hot pot. The rest of the veggies were standard but really nice to have. For the noodles I chose the hand pulled noodles and they were really nice too. Very very long so I recommend ripping them in half before you put them in to cook because fishing them out was so difficult, but well worth it because they soak up the broth really well. They also had a sauce bar to make your own sauces. They premade us one that was pretty good but i'm all about that sesame and garlic sauce so I went and made that and it was so good. The sauce bar also had a bunch of other goodies like candies and little panda marshmallows which was perfect for... THE UNLIMITED SOFT SERVE!!! And it was my FAVORITE kind of soft serve like the one that is a bit watery and icey but still vanilla and delish. Wowww i could eat gallons of that. What a GREAT place I had so much fun here!!! I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I looooove ittttt read more

A 3.8 experience for me. Pros: - Great location, diagonal from the movie theater on 11th street and 3rd Ave in EV, easy access to the green line trains and Union Square - desserts! There is vanilla ice cream but the sauces station also has additional dessert options and snacks! - good portions of food sizes that came in a decorative holder, which helps with food waste. I - aprons, although we weren't given it as the first customers that entered the restaurant this evening. I like the thoughtfulness of this for customers - customer service was very nice - clean bathroom, which I appreciate Cons: - very small pot and the soup base is very oily I scooped out a whole little bowl of the oil - the sliced meat were quiet fatty - there were no utensils other than the ones available on the table I had to ask for an additional spoon for dessert. It wasn't readily available on the sauce and dessert bar $40-$45/person. Two people plus taxes and tips you can expected to pay about $125. read more

Very unique hot pot experience. Fun with a group or even on your own! Each person at your table has their own broth station and a basket with a combo of choice. I've only been to ones where you share the pot. But here, you choose a broth flavor and have the soup pot on a personal electric stove. Also! You choose your order on an iPad, which was super confusing especially because of restaurant week. There were options that added to the cart that weren't an actual order just descriptions. Luckily there was a girl who came around to help people get their order in. I went with the mushroom broth, the only non-pork option they have aside from veggie. I wish there was chicken or beef one but alas. For the combo I got flat iron beef combo I think. So many choices I don't remember what I ended up going with. Since it was restaurant week, it came with - cucumber or tomato salad - tower of meat and veggie baskets - side of rice - soft serve Looks like too much food but in the end I wasn't too full. I wish there was more meat in the combo. I loved the extensive sauce and dessert stations. You go and make your bowl yourself. Lots of fruits too which was perfect after the hot pot. Overall really fun! A little overwhelming if it's your first time but after the first, you'll know what you like. read more

This is an elevated hot pot experience where you can order a la carte during the day and AYCE at night from 9:30PM to midnight. My group of 4 visited on a Saturday evening and it was pretty packed - that being said we unfortunately sat where there was no air conditioning or vent so it got super hot. Other than that it was pretty easy to order your broth with the server and then everything else via iPad. Unlike other hotpot places, each broth is $10. There is a buffet table with appetizers and your options to make a sauce all in one corner. We ordered sparingly each time to gauge how full we got since ordering a la carte tends to add up. The ingredients are presented very nicely, and came on a tower. They also have sets where you get a little bit of everything! And free ice cream at the end doesn't hurt. Overall a nice experience but it was super hot with no aircon - we were all sweating and only realized other spots in the restaurant had great aircon once we got up to leave. read more

Great hot pot place, different from your normal AYCE shops. A bit on the pricier end but you're definitely paying more the experience. Everyone gets their own personal pot, which is fun, but part of me enjoys having a shared pot more (sometimes I like to fight for my food, ya know?) You order a la carte via a digital menu, and they bring the plates out and serve them on a fancy tiered platter. They have a self serve sauce station with everything you could want in a hot pot sauce (and they do offer to make their house sauce for you) as well as fruits, some traditional Asian side dishes (edamame, peanuts, seaweed) and a DIY drinks area with jellies and syrups. We finished our meal with their free soft serve. Would recommend checking out! read more

(Overall: B) - The Dolar Shop has an noticeably large selection for their AYCE option, featuring classic cuts like brisket and pork belly, as well as more adventurous cuts like beef aorta. Their sauce bar also has a good mix of classic sauces, but what stands out is that they have a dessert bar with fresh fruit to help balance the hearty hotpot meal. I did find the restaurant seating and table arrangement to be a bit tight, and the fumes from the hotpot to persist through my clothes the following days, which is less than ideal -- I think bringing a large plastic bag to counteract this would be smart. The staff seemed very busy, although they still were attentive enough and the food came out at a reasonable pace in my opinion. Not a bad choice for hotpot.

Reviewing the lunch/afternoon set menu (offered 11am-5pm) that Dolar Shop offers. Tldr: it's worth. I visited with a friend on a Saturday noon reservation. We each got a lunch set, and picked different cuts of beef. For broths, I split mine half creamy pork broth and half spicy broth with mild spice level. I was a huge fan of both, though the mild was pretty spicy and I ended up using the pork broth more. Portions were enough for my friend and I (both having skipped breakfast) to be completed satiated. All the ingredients were good quality and I enjoyed the variety. Service was prompt, water was always filled, and food arrived quickly. For context, the set comes with a cut of meat you choose and a tray of hotpot items, like lettuce, enoki mushrooms, imitation crab, shrimp balls, bean curd skin, spam, chicken, and so on. You can order unlimited servings of rice or noodles, which we took advantage of a couple times. At a buffet, in addition to concocting dipping sauces you can get unlimited helpings of kimchi, seaweed salad, AND dessert - think taro balls, ice jelly, red bean, popping boba, diced dragon fruit and mango, marshmallows, orange slices, gummy bears, etc. Don't forget there's free vanilla ice cream, which the waiter offered to us at the very end, long after we'd stuffed ourselves. The ambience of this restaurant feels more polished and tidy than that of other hotpot spots where AYCE is the only draw. You'll see that reflected in perhaps the slightly higher prices here, but the quality is there and the lunch set is a good deal IMO. In total (tax + tip) I forked out $39, which is not bad for this experience; there is no shortage of bougie brunches in the city that will rack up a much higher bill. No doubt I'll be back here again. read more

If you're looking for a premium late-night feast in Manhattan, The Dolar Shop is the spot. I came here at 10:30pm for their late-night all-you-can-eat hot pot ($45.99 per person, every day 9:30PM-12AM) and it was incredible. The quality of the meats really stood out--tender beef short plate, juicy chicken thigh, lamb flap, and pork belly, all sliced fresh and perfect for hot pot. On top of that, there are over 50 extras to choose from--seafood, veggies, noodles, tofu, and even desserts. Everything was fresh and kept coming nonstop. The vibe is modern, sleek, and fun--perfect for groups of friends or anyone who gets hungry after hours. Service was attentive and quick, which made the whole experience even better.

Food was very good and easy to order. There many broths to choose from. They then have a buffet of condiments and desserts as well. They do not have the ice cream dessert at the moment. We had a variety of things from Meat to seafood and some vegetables. You cook the food in the broth you chose. It usually takes about 5 minutes or less to cook the items you like. The thermostat or temperature for keeping hot or cooking is at the knobs below the table in the sides. They have peanuts and edemame to snack on as appetizer. They bring chili sauce and sauce for your food. read more

I came here last year and loved this place. Each person gets their personal hotpot, ingredients are good quality, and their sauce bar / dessert / fried food bar is fairly extensive and you finish your meal with a vanilla ice cream cone. A la carte gets pretty pricey, though, so I didn't get around to coming back until I heard about their late-night AYCE promo, which is such a good deal in NYC (we made a res in advance). Definitely will try to go again before the promo disappears. read more

I miss having a Dolar Shop in Flushing, but happy that this Manhattan location is still around! Came for dinner recently for their a la carte hotpot (AYCE is only after 9:30pm). The soup bases and sauces are always so freakin' good. I love getting the split pot with the creamy pork broth and the spicy soup base. The "less spicy" version of the spicy broth is already pretty spicy; would pass on the sichuan level spice. All of the food is of really good quality and portions are pretty decent for a la carte prices. Service is attentive with broth refills. My only gripe is that the ventilation at this location is not the best despite the restaurant being quite spacious. Definitely expect to smell a like hotpot after leaving. read more

Food's great, I come here a lot. The quality never lets me down. Highly recommend the creamy pork broth, don't just get spicy. You can always spice up with sauce. Would've given a 5 a couple years back but they changed their sauce station up and removed a bunch of stuff (also weirdly removed the labels so I have to awkwardly smell it to know what I'm getting...) Service is always great. read more
