    Ice cream
    Cora C.

    The server was attentive and friendly. Nice interior, clean and sauce bar is well stocked. Had the hot and spicy broth and the ingredients were fresh. The hot pot was easy too use and had plenty of options for us. The robot brought us drinks and ice cream which i thought was very cute. Price is on the higher side.

    One of the best hotpot places I have been in the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake Area. It is super clean here. The sauce bar has every single thing you need for your sauce. The waiter is a robot that will bring you your drink order. All of the meats were high quality and the veggies were fresh too. No reservations needed during lunch times, but I recommend making reservations for dinner. They share a whole parking lot with other shops and restaurants on the strip.

    Our spread!

    Talk about an experience! Plenty to eat! Robotice server as needed. Plenty of parking available. Awesome staff! Definitely a chill place to have a girl's luncheon!

    Tom yum, Miso broths with lots of veggies, meats and dumplings to cook!

    We loved the whole experience, I especially loved all the choices of veggies/meat that were included in the price. So much to choose from and all fresh! Tom Yum was our fave, and I was thrilled to see lotus root and taro as options, including the marinated shrimp! Absolutely delicious. My kids really enjoyed the conveyor belt options. Service was great, there was always someone available to ask questions. Very nice restaurant and vibe! We will be back for sure!

    I was fortunate enough to win a gift card here on IG. I was excited since I had been wanting to check this place out! This is strictly hotpot NOT BBQ, which I'm completely okay with. It's not a large establishment but their use of space is phenomenal and their neon signs and clean & contemporary style is pleasant. All our servers & bussers were kind & helpful. I love that you order from a tablet at your table. It's super convenient and efficient! It's extremely helpful, so you can visualize & keep track of what you've already ordered. The hand sanitizer wipes are an added bonus. Hygiene is key! I attempted to follow some of the sauce recipes listed at the sauce bar. But apparently I don't have a solid grasp of identifying spices & herbs. haha So I did my best by reading the corresponding labels. Tongs are located at the bar for picking up your raw food items once brought to your table. I'm such a little kid when it comes to novelty dining. I'm a sucker for it. The robot had me smiling and cracking up. It serves you drinks and some of your food items. This adds to the dining experience. It even plays music and greets you! The robot is a godsend for those chatty customers, when employees are on a mission. It quickly took off once I tapped the button. But not before saying, Thanks! BYE! Gotta go!! I was seriously bummed out when I found out that the conveyor belt doesn't run until 5pm. I purposely chose dinner time (after 4pm), because that's when the conveyor belt is in use. Fortunately, We still had time when 5pm rolled around. Super silly, I know but I really enjoyed watching the small plates of various hot pot items pass our table ready for picking. Although, I didn't grab anything from it. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food. (I need to make more effort.) An assortment of desserts are included with the price, some items are an additional charge. It will list the price if there is one. Same goes for specialty hotpot items. Overall, it was a lovely experience. I really love the robot and conveyor belt. Service was quick & efficient! The tablets are a great idea, as well as the robot. Human servers are there to help as well! They have a nice variety of hot pot items both meat & veggie wise, in addition to cooked cold dishes. Although there was a minor hiccup or two with placing orders it didn't spoil our experience. Our ice cream order didn't arrive, so we just placed it again. We couldn't delete an additional charge item that my sister accidentally clicked. So we called for human assistance via the tablet and he rectified it. The delete button sometimes gets stuck. He was very kind! *Prices are $23.99 +tax LUNCH HRS (12pm-4pm) *$31.99 + tax DINNER HRS (after 4pm -10pm or close) *10% ACTIVE MILITARY DISCOUNT ONLY (MON-THURS) EXCEPT OFF DRINKS During prime hours (FRI-SUN), I suggest getting on their waitlist/reservations on YELP.

    Amazing food! Quick and friendly service. And the environment was filled with good vibes and good music.

    All orders on iPad or from the conveyer.

    When my friend suggested this after a weekend meditation I was totally down. I'm loving savory soups and curries right now and wanted to have my drinks served by a robot waiter. Haha. It's in a new strip mall near Aldi and is in a great location near the new Dollar store HQ where some great restaurants have been added. Plenty of parking and gorgeous updated restrooms here with a modern look and some cute neon lights inside for insta moments. The concept is like Melting Pot where they bring you a base in a pot and you cook it at your own table by adding in as much or as little of the ingredients as you'd like. They have a sauce bar where you can make your own sauces out of dozens of potential ingredients all ready for you with some suggested recipes on the wall. Think oils and scallions and garlic and hot pepper flakes. On weekends you pay dinner prices but this also means you get more premium add-in proteins like steak and shrimp. Delicious! Everything basic is included like all the veggies, appetizers and meats. Hostess/servers will greet you and explain the process if you have any questions - then you're free to order on the iPad as you wish and it will be promptly brought out for you. You can always even order for someone to stop by on the iPad and they'll come to the table if you have questions. Loved it. My soup was great and a few desserts were included. You can order premium not included items like crab legs and matcha cheesecake but really everything you need is included in the set fee so it's all up to you! For drinks you'll get hot tea or water with lemon or pay for soda and Thai teas.

    Ordering on the tablet

    My absolute favorite place in Chesapeake VA. Just down the street from my house. This is where you will catch me on a random Tuesday or Wednesday. This gem of a restaurant is unique in its own way from other hot pot places. You start off first ordering on a tablet. This includes your broth, veggies, meat, sides, and of course your drinks. After you submit the order, shortly after the robot servant will bring you your drinks. Which is so jarring at first! But it's pretty fun after you start to watch it go around the dining area delivering people's drinks. After that while you are waiting you could go to the sauce bar and grab your condiments. You could get a bowl of hoisin sauce, siracha, soy sauce, or even my favorite: boom boom sauce. Which is like a sweet and spicy sort of mayonnaise based sauce. After they deliver the pot of broth for you and your compadres they set the dial to high on the stove in front of you. When they deliver the veggies, meats, and sides you can start cookin! Yes, you will have to cook the foods all by yourself. So if you're not willing to put in some work this place may not be for you. But it's real easy! I like it better this way since I can take the food right from the pot when it's ready. My preference is the Tom Yum broth, egg noodles, tofu, and pork belly to start off, with an assortment of veggies. This combo is the most satisfying to me. Especially after cooking the pork belly in Tom yum broth then dipping it in the boom boom sauce. So tasty! You can reorder more if you're really feeling hungry. They only charge you per person. So most items on the menu don't have a limit. With the exception of a few premium items and drinks. My apologies, I could go on and on about how much me and my wife love this place. But this gives you an idea of what to expect and how to start off especially if you're on the fence about this kind of restaurant. Don't overthink it. Just go!

    Asian dessert items. Perfect because they're not too sweet.

    Growing up in Asia and among many Asian cultures as an American I always get excited when something authentic comes into our area. Every Asian culture has their own version of hot pot just about and Urban Hotpot shares that diversity within their menu. Everything is customizable in every step of the way so if you're not too sure or are new to Asian cuisine's experiencing this is a good start. I enjoy the fact that it's pretty much all you can eat so the opportunity to venture as far as you want is accessible. The staff is friendly and helps understand how to dine hotpot style for those who are new to it. I can't wait until our next visit because it's a hit for me every single time!

    First time at a hot pot, the confusion was real. Showed up on a Tuesday, a bit after dinner started. It's an $8 difference from lunch to dinner, but you get more choices of meat to pick from. We were greeted and given a brief run down of how things works. The host showed us how to order using their iPad system, explained what was included and what was not, then directed us to the sauce bar when we were ready. Honestly I was overwhelmed, and confused for a while. We all ordered but when things came out, nothing was 'labeled' and we ended up getting extra items we hadn't ordered. So we all were sitting there confused looking at each other. Super glad an employee was at the next table over, and we asked her what was what when she had a moment. As you eat you can order more meat, veggies, drinks, desserts, and their little extras. We had a party of 4. It was a little frustrating, for example, we would order 2 sides of dumplings for us all to share, but they'd bring out 4 dumplings total (sometimes 6). They also had their conveyor belt going, with other little items you could grab. I am not adventurous with playing is it intestines or something else, and because nothing was labeled, I did not partake lol. Over all it was quite a nice experience. It was fun getting to cook my own food, make dipping sauces (I used their recommendations they had listed) and just trying something new. I loved that I wasn't bloated or feeling like I was going to burst after. We're adding this to our date night (okay probably for lunch lol) ideas for down the road.

    I was so excited to hear that Urban Hot Pot opened in our area! I'm used to the ones in Maryland and I loved it and I loved this location even more. Firstly, the restaurant is well kept - employees often cleaning the sauce bar frequently! Normally, sauce bars at hot pot restaurants are messy due to the nature of sauces being everywhere. Awesome job! Food was great..I really enjoyed the cold dish tripe, various beef cuts, and tendons! I liked it so much I'm going again soon. I just wish it wasn't in Chesapeake..and instead in Norfolk and Virginia Beach area. One recommendation would be - one more scoop of ice cream please..single scoop doesn't cut it! Also, maybe tone down the EDM a tad bit.

    See all
