Another skewers hotpot style in Flushing; location is very convenient and easy to find. Hotpot soup broth is average; nothing special. They do have a lot skewers selection for you to choose and price varies per item. Staff is attentive and friendly but they need to have more staff that can speak English. It s a nice hangout spot with friends. But they need to put more flavor to the soup broth. read more

A relatively new type of hotpot where you take as many skewers as you want and dump it into the hotpot! They're pretty cheap for a bite, pay attention to some that have more than one skewer so it's double or even triple the price. They do have small plates with veggies and soy products that are priced by plate color. Beware that you will smell like hotpot! Good and bad thing, I get home and want more!! Great place to go with a small group :D read more

This skewer hotpot restaurant is great! Skewers are priced well at 30 cents each. The bubble tea is also pretty solid. I've been craving this hotpot every week lately. I definitely prefer this style of hotpot to regular hotpot. Authentic and reminds me of the skewer hotpot spot I used to frequent when I was studying in China. read more

Also, the servers don't feel a certain type of way helping customers they weren't assigned to unlike other places which I thought was great. I asked a lot dumb questions and they were great in answering all my questions. The restaurant was clean and nice. Everything smelled great because ofbthe hotpot. From what I saw, the restaurant is themed around a more village area in China. It reminded me of my village. Wonderful hotpot place overall. Would recommend 10/10.

We came around 3:30pm on a Saturday and had to wait nearly 2 hours for a table for 4 people. The wait time is also longer than they initially provide as it was only supposed to be 1 hour wait. If there is no wait time, then I would recommend. The service is amazing - the servers make sure everything is taken care of and they even tell you that if anything doesn't taste good, they can adjust or remove it for you. The food itself isn't that different compared to other spots, although I will say the food is very fresh. Our favorite items were probably the tai chi beef and the thick sliced tender beef. Both were tender and tasted good. There is a $1.95 charge for sauce station per person so make sure to use it. The interior will take you back to ancient China as it is very aesthetically pleasing. Worth it if there is no wait, but if there is a wait, I would go somewhere else.

I suggest not dining later than usual dinner hours because they stop replenishing the self service area around 9:30pm.

Excellent visit to Haidilao Hotpot…read more Google Maps currently shows a large street-level parking lot, but as of October 2026, that area is under construction as they seem to be building something there. There is a paid underground parking lot which costs about $12-15 for 2-3 hours of parking. There are also some metered street parking spots in the surrounding streets. Haidilao is on the second floor of the building accessible by staircase or elevator. Upon entering, there is a large waiting area that has some drinks and snacks available while you wait for your table. We arrived at around 4pm on a Tuesday afternoon and we only had to wait a few minutes. Upon arriving to our table, we were brought aprons and they quickly showed us the ordering process. The ordering process via the ipad-like device is straight forward but can be a bit overwhelming your first time there. First, you have to choose a soup base...and you can select multiple which is a recommended. I would then suggest looking at the specials/deals first as they have some good deals/combos there. There is currently a 3-meat special for $20. Then, you can go to each category to add whatever items you like....including meats, veggies, sides and drinks. Unlimited self-serve plain white rice is about $2 per person. There is also the highly-recommended and extensicve sauce bar, which is $3 per person and includes snacks, sauces, fruit, chicken nuggets and ice cream...a great deal and addition to supplement your main food order. Note that the meats and veggies are NOT marinated and are plain...you should make full use of the sauce bar to create various sauces based on your liking. Cooking the meats and veggies in the various soups and adding the sauces will maximize your experience. There were a few birthday celebrations while we were there, which included some singing and a slice of cake...not sure the cost for this service. Service throughout the visit was top notch...they made sure we okay and guided us along the entire way. Our little one was given a small toy as well.

I know the dancing noodle is kind of for show, and I did wish that there were more noodles, but they were DELICIOUS. Like the perfect QQ and bounce to them. Highly recommend if you're on the fence about it!

I do wish they offered more vegetable options, though. The sauce bar is another highlight for me.

But you can make your own your mind whether you will have meat or seafood. I had both in it and I was not even able to finish the seafoods I ate so much vegetables and they also have a lot of condiments to accompany your cooking. You cook your food in your own private pot with knob controls. I had to get the onions and found the garlic at another section for dips and sauces. But I used the garlic for my broth. Everything is delicious and they add more of your broth of choice if you run low on it. At the end you get soft serve ice cream serve your self, I had green tea and the vanilla and green tea swirl. I also tried the pineapple sorbet. I happen to be lactose tolerant so I was happy with the ice cream. If you are lactose intolerant, they also have vanilla ice cream without milk. Overall - a happy place for me and my cravings! We took the 7 train to get to this place.

Spring Shabu Shabu is still my favorite hot pot spot of all time. Yes, I said it!…read more It's clean, spacious, and well-maintained, which is honestly rare to find in Flushing. On top of that, they even have authentic Dole Whip, so you don't have to wait in line at Disneyland to enjoy it! I've been coming to Spring Shabu Shabu since they first opened years ago, and they have never disappointed me. If you're looking for a huge variety of freshly made noodles, fish cakes, vegetables, and other hot pot essentials, this is the place to be. Although it's AYCE (all-you-can-eat), meats, seafood, and drinks are not included. Honestly, with all the options available at the buffet, it's more than enough for me. The fresh ramen is usually my noodle of choice, but there are so many great unique flavors that you really can't go wrong. Today, I tried the chili garlic and curry noodles, and both were delicious. The curry flavor was light and subtle, but you can definitely taste it when eaten on its own. The chili garlic noodles had a nice kick that I really enjoyed. If you're new to hot pot, this is a great place to start. Everyone gets their own individual pot and can choose their own broth. My family and I prefer not to share because we all enjoy different ingredients and flavors, so having a personal pot allows everyone to customize their meal. I love spicy food, so I always order the Mala broth. The service here is excellent. Special shoutout to Wendy and Jamaica for always being so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. My family and I truly appreciate your hospitality every time we visit. Is it loud? Yes, but not "concert loud." The atmosphere is lively, the music is great, and it's very family-friendly. It's also perfect for large parties and gatherings since there's a separate private room near the entrance. Tips for First-Time Visitors: Most of the parking spaces in the front large lot have been blocked off, so give yourself extra time to find parking around Flushing. Make sure everyone in your party is present since the entire group must be present to be seated. Once seated, place your order first, then head to the buffet area to grab your food. Don't forget to stop by the sauce station near the entrance and create your own dipping sauce! Finally, save room for dessert! Soft serve ice cream: Matcha, vanilla, lactose free vanilla and the famous Dole Whip! Choice of cup or cone. Bottom line: Spring Shabu Shabu continues to be my favorite hot pot restaurant. Great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere so stop by and give it try!

I recently dined at Zao Men Qian Hot Pot, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The seating was incredibly uncomfortable -- the chairs were hard, cramped, and made it hard to enjoy the meal. They only had small bowls, not suffice r enough to enjoy the broth. As for the food, it was definitely overpriced for the portion sizes. The dishes were so small that I left still hungry, despite paying a hefty price. To make matters worse, the service was subpar. Our server was inattentive, and it took forever for us to get anything we needed. Overall, this was not worth the money, and I won't be returning. There are much better options out there for the same price. read more

If you're a fan of flavorful, interactive dining, this hot pot skewer spot is a must-visit! The variety of skewers is impressive, ranging from fresh vegetables and tender meats to unique seafood options, all ready to be dunked into your choice of rich, bubbling broths. The self-serve skewer selection makes it easy to customize your meal, and the vibrant sauces station adds a personal flair to every bite. The atmosphere is lively and perfect for groups, though it can get quite crowded during dinner hours. read more

Came here on a Friday night and damn they are POPULAR!!! We got seated relatively quickly and our soup base came very quick. The staffs are nice and very helpful. Their skewers are only $0.3 per skewer, and I'm sure that's an incomparable price you can't find elsewhere in flushing!! But beware...the hot pot base and the spicy items on the menu are indeed SPICY. It was a fun experience overall and I'll definitely be back!! read more

Discovered this spot , such a happy place where families gather around a hotpot with lots of skewers poking out. The fragrance of mala spices bring a wonderful aroma in the restaurant. We got the combination pot ( choice of pork bone / hot & spicy) and ordered some fried skewers, extra fatty beef, Liang pi on the side which are additional charges. read more

Interesting concept. Smell is extremely enticing. Delicious food. We came here for birthday and had a little bit of wait but it was only 10 min. This is a self assisted concept and you get to cook and add sauce as you like. read more

I've been ordering mostly take-out and have eaten in only once. I usually get the Malatang, Guobarou, also known as their Sweet and Sour, and the Mala Chicken Strips. This place is one of my favorite restaurants to order from for Malatang. Be prepared to wait a while though. I want to say that it took around 20-30 minutes to receive my Guobarou. Sometimes, it's also sold out for the day. The ingredients were fresh and I appreciate that we are able to choose our own ingredients, rather than have the staff pick it for you. Just a warning, for their Malatang and Mala Xianguo, their medium spice level is much spicier than other places.

Really solid Sichuan food at fair prices, and the portion sizes are enormous…read more Mung bean jelly - pleasant texture and flavorful chili oil. Thousand layer pancake - super crispy and flaky, though pretty oily when it first came out of the fryer. After sitting for a few minutes, it made for a nice accompaniment to the other dishes. Mapo tofu - decent, but I've had better elsewhere. It was pretty spicy and numbing. Eggplant in garlic sauce - nicely balanced with slight sweetness and mild heat. Eggplant with fresh chili - my favorite dish by far. The eggplant is in a sour and savory sauce with a vegetal green chili paste over the top. Absolutely delicious. Egg fried rice - perfect with all the other dishes, and a pretty large portion. The total came to about $100, but this way too much food for 3 people. This was a solid choice for the neighborhood.

This spot is a slightly more elevated and nicely decorated with warm and friendly service. I ordered a Sichuan classic, twice cooked pork, and a new dish I've never seen before, snow pea leaves in broth. The twice cooked pork was a fantastic iteration of this dish. The pork was sliced thin with the perfect amount of chew which paired well texturally with the soft, buttery leeks. The flavor was so well balanced while being heavily seasoned and the smoky wok hei flavor really comes through. The snow pea leaves were soft and silky with tender stems, and they came served in a golden broth with some mushrooms, juicy tomato and snappy pieces of black fungus. The dish is topped with a century egg. I found the broth itself to have a bit of a grainy texture when sipped. I've tried century egg in the past and while I'm not disgusted by it, I never quite felt like I understand the ingredient until eating this dish. The creamy, funky flavor of the egg reminds me of blue cheese and it pairs very well with the subtle flavors of the snow pea leaves and amplifies the richness of the broth. I really enjoyed my experience here and would like to return with a group to try more of the Sichuan classics on the menu.

I got that and the cucumber salad for $4 (which was small and boring, pass on this). Paid in cash. No tax. Long restaurant. Self serve. No tipping. No wait staff but there is a person in the front. You get your food on the counter in the back of the restaurant. There is a fixin bar with scallion, cilantro and sauces. The broth was plain and beef was nothing special. But after attacking the fixin bar the broth becomes what you want either sweet or spicy. Indeed you can refill your rice noodles, bring your bowl back and the lady will refill along with broth. I did this 1x but will do more next time. Bathroom is available Will come back. Maybe not the best quality but functionality and pricing is a nice setup.
