    Broth options
    Lindsay S.

    We haven't been to too many hot pot restaurants in MN but this one popped up and was getting some hype so we tried! It was very nice and clean inside. You order on the keypad and a lot of the veggies / appetizers were up at the self service bar. First, you want to pick your broths. I don't eat pork so it's a little tricky but they had miso, Tom Yum (lime shrimp) and mushroom. We got the miso and TY. The Tom Yum was super spicy! The server mentioned it was spicy and sour. It was spicy. I didn't taste a lot of the typical TY flavors in it. We would try the mushroom next time. (I took a pic of the broth options). My favorites to put in the broth: Self service area: potatoes, bok choy, daikon radish and tofu was fun. Order on the menu: enoki & seafood mushrooms!!! Our favorite and it will convert some non mushroom eaters). Meats: sliced lamb (must get!) , shrimp & my group got sliced beef and pork. Noodles! Recommend cooking your potatoes, daikon first. They take a long time and put mushrooms and bok choy on top. We cook our red meats last as it tends to make the broth a little fatty. Then noodles last and put them in the last of your sauce. So yummy. Overall, it was nice to do all you can eat hot pot but we would like to see more seafood options included. We will be back if craving and want somewhere convenient.

    Sun a fun experience! This was our first time here and the staff went out of their way to explain how it worked, did a little demo and made sure our first visit was excellent! Celebrating a birthday dinner, but opted not to alert them of that- the song is a bit unnerving, but its all in good fun. So many options price wise. We all chose the hot pot only which really includes quite a bit. Drink, appetizers, the best vegetables ever (mushrooms were my favorite) , meats, seafood, rice, noodles and so many other things all included in the price which was defintely a deal given the amounts of food you get. So many great options to go with your choice of broth (spicy and non-spicy) Order on the ipad and the little robot brings it out in no time. Staff is excellent and so very helpful and eager to show you how it works and so passionate about what they do. Vegetables are up at the self serve bar. Appetizers (little spring rolls, and other fried goods) Sauces galore- ask for Tigers sauce- which was the best. Fruit Kimchi Cucumber salad to die for. So good The whole experience was fun, new and the best part being with loved ones and having the best time. Will certainly return!

    My family and I went to Upin Hotpot today and had a fabulous time! It was so clean and modern. Little robots assist the waitstaff in bringing your food out. You can order all you can eat sushi, hot pot, or both. However the whole table has to pick the same option. Our waitress was very helpful in guiding us through the process as it was our first time eating hotpot. All you can eat also includes a soft drink and choice of add ons and appetizers. The salad bar ingredients are super fresh. There are a bunch of options for sauce bar. We ordered pork bone broth and medium spice Sichuan broth. The pork bone broth wasn't very flavorful so definitely needed the spice bar for that. Sichuan had good flavor, not too spicy even at medium. I've heard great things about the Tom Yum so if I come back I'll give that a try next time. We also ate fatty beef, pork belly, angus steak and squid. The squid wasn't great but I think that was our cooking error. Was a bit firm. I added on mushrooms and tofu and shrimp balls. We also had rice noodles and udon (huge portion of fresh udon is given) and a ton of fresh veggies. All in all the hot pot itself isn't super flavorful so you do have to get familiar with the sauce bar and figure out how to adjust to your extract preference which could probably be an art in itself. I recommend the cream cheese wontons. They were light, crispy, and savory. One of us ordered the sesame chicken and onion fried rice and he loved that. Those come at no additional cost with the meal. There are no additional or hidden costs. If you waste an aggressive amount of food they have the right to add a $10.99 charge per pound wasted, so just don't be aggressive and you're good. Normal waste is fine. Come check this out for a super cool foodie experience and some great eats.

    Fun experience with my son. It's cheaper to go at lunch during the week if you're on a budget. The staff is great about explaining the many options they have. My only complaint is they ran out of the rice noodles I like. I'm gluten free so my option were limited. They had a great variety of veggies and meat to choose from!

    Very few times have I been to a restaurant and had nothing to say about improvements they could make. This is one of those times, though. This place is fantastic and we will definitely be back. As our first visit to a hot pot restaurant, we left very impressed with both the quality, flavor, and experience of the food as well as the quality of the service. Bring an appetite and enjoy!

    Tom Yum broth and Miso broth
    Mia C.

    I took my boyfriend here for his birthday brunch and we had a great time. We were greeted and seated immediately! You order everything you want off an IPad which is nice with AYCE because you don't have to wait for a waiter to come to your table. They have a really great selection of broths, vegetables, meats, seafoods and sauces. There was nothing that I felt as if I was missing on the menu. We got the tom yum and miso broths! The tom yum was spicy and delicious and the miso didn't have a ton of flavor but i didn't really expect it too. Everything was brought out very quickly and they were good at coming up and picking up empty trays. The pork belly was delicious in the hot pot broth! The only thing we had that we ended up not loving was their spicy beef and their kimchi. Everything else was fresh and tasted great. The sushi wasn't my favorite (we only tried their nigiri, none of the rolls) but, my boyfriend really enjoyed it! He loved the red snapper. The sauce bar was extensive and i enjoyed that they put out fresh fruit for you to grab! I also really liked the thai tea that we got. It was more milky and mild than other thai teas i've had but it was nice to have with the oily, spicy hot pot. I think that for the price at lunch time, this is a great place to go and a great value! Especially if you're someone who can eat a lot. The decoration in the restaurant wasn't anything special but that didn't really bother me. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall i would definitely come here again.

    Tum yum and Herbal soup
    Doua Chi V.

    We did the AYCE sushi+hot pot. They do not have a lot of meat varieties, maybe because its lunch?? They only had, fatty beef, thin pork belly, spicy beef, shrimps, mussels, and squid. So we ordered everything except for the shrimps. For our soup base, we have the tum yum and herbal base. Tum yum base is very water down so i ended up adding fish sauce, garlic, sugar, and lime to it. As for the herbal soup, it's very savory BUT very salty. My husband and I joked about maybe they had accidentally put all the salt into the herbal soup and forgot the tum yum. My baby will not eat the watermelon, which was weird because it's all she eats at home. I then took a bite and know exactly why she will not eat it, it's very spongy and not edible. Hopefully these are not from the night before. I love the sauce bar, because i can make my own dipping sauce.

    This place is great! The fun combo of all you can eat hot pot and all you can eat sushi was enticing enough for us to stop in for a weeknight dinner. The establishment is super clean and modern on the inside, and there is excellent ventilation, fun music and those neat food robots. Our service was fantastic and SUPER fast. Our server was so sweet, smiley, attentive and helpful. The absolute best thing about this place is that all the ordering happens on a tablet right from your table. I LOVE this for AYCE so you never feel rushed and you never feel like the server is waiting on you to make a selection. The food options were even better than some other hot pot places I've been to -- our favorite was the peeled shrimp! The buffet area was very clean and well stocked. The sauce area was also cleanly and nicely labeled. I tried the sushi: some sashimi and 2 rolls. Our favorite was the upin roll. I didn't love the sashimi but it was ok. I was more focused on the hot pot. There's a ton of options for food and a nice amount of space for all customers. I'm not a hot pot expert yet, but I'll be back to try this place again!

    This was a fun spot to try out considering its located close to home and that I don't have to drive to the cities for ayce hot pot. For soups, we chose the tom yum and pork bone broth. The tom yum was my preferred of the two but did not expect it to be spicy. There weren't spice indicators so they could've added that or let us know. The variety for food was actually cool to see and tried most of the hot pot meats, seafood, and vegetables. I also thought pairing hot pot with sushi was an interesting choice but I enjoyed it! In terms of service, we felt some of the serving sizes were inconsistent with both hot pot & sushi. We'd get the incorrect amount of sushi orders (paper menu mentions # of sashimi/sushi in an order). Otherwise they were really attentive! Hoping to continue going to Upin and try it with others.

    It was my first time at a Hot Pot place and it was a great experience! The restaurant was pretty busy, but I could tell right away how clean and organized it was. I would recommend ordering both Hot Pot and sushi so that you can taste of a wide variety of foods. The sushi was delicious! We ordered 4 rolls to share. I would recommend the shrimp tempura roll. The Hot Pot was also a fun experience. We cooked all the food in front of us and then created our own sauces. I tried a few variations of things from chicken, beef and even squid! The servers also were very attentive and helpful! I will be back!

Sushi rolls: Shoga roll: I really liked. I have avoided as it said ginger dressing on it. It was very fresh and tasty. Out of control Roll: I normally don't go for a deep fried roll but this tasted good on a cold day. Shrimp tempura roll- I prefer the crunchy roll to this, but you order what you need to when the menu is limited. Dynamite roll: Decent and a staple for what we usually get. Curry chicken Don (rice bowl with brown curry)- this has become one of our crave-worthy items here. The brown curry is so comforting and it reminds me of a deconstructed egg foo yung on rice with crispy chicken cutlet on top. Always a fav! Ask for extra curry so it's saucy and it's a large portion, so share or eat it solo. Calamari is another fav. Sorry; didn't get pics. Or the miso soup. So good. For dinner- we always get the squid salad and I have my family hooked on it. We actually have gotten it to go for our poke bowls at home! Overall, we love this place. We have our favorite items and those keep us coming back.

One waiter was responsible for nearly all the tables in the hibachi area, each seating eight people, making even the simplest requests - like a drink refill - nearly impossible. It was clear their main goal was to turn tables over as quickly as possible, rather than provide attentive service. We were celebrating my niece's 3rd birthday, and to their credit, they did a nice job acknowledging it. However, the restaurant felt very money-driven. If you're considering using a Groupon, *read the fine print carefully* - they refused to honor ours because it wasn't purchased 24 hours in advance, which felt unnecessarily petty. On top of that, a mandatory 17%+ service charge was added to the bill, despite the service not coming close to justifying it. A final concern: food safety. I noticed the chef using the same spatula to handle both raw steak/seafood and cooked noodles without cleaning it in between, which is a big red flag. Overall, it wasn't worth the hassle. There are better hibachi options out there. Oh, the owner/manager's strategy to have us return to use the Groupon didn't work, we requested our money back. Sorry not sorry.
