This place is honestly pretty good in terms of broth quality, options, and quality of food. It's a very authentic Chinese spot. I used to come here quite often, but a few bad experiences the last few times as well as the growth of hotpot restaurants in metro Atlanta meant I started coming here less. They also notably took soup dumplings off their menu; it used to be one of my go to items to get every time. I suspect they took it off because they didn't have enough of it. I used to come in large groups and get multiple orders of it, but they would always short me. I would order 4 plates and get 1 plate. They should just limit the amount people can get or add a surcharge for it if they didn't want people getting too many. The meat options, seafood options, vegetable options, and carb options are always plentiful. The service isn't too great but I'll consider coming back at some point if I want the definition of Chinese hotpot.
This place is very good if you're looking for a chinese hot pot style! You order through a paper and they bring it out for you! They also have variety of sauces you can make yourself at the sauce bar! Love their broth as well! Everything was so delicious!
Doraville is no stranger to great Asian food and this is a great place for hot pot with authentic flavors and a modern twist. Of course, one of the modern twists is the self-delivering machines that bring a very hot pot over to you. Genius! But in addition to that, the flavors in the hot pot and the numbing spice is something that is extremely addicting. The meat is fresh and I would definitely err on the side of ordering less as the portions are quite big. Honorable mention to the scallion pancakes!
This was so much fun! My first time doing hot pot out at a restaurant and not just at my friend's house and it was a really neat experience. We started with making our own sauces up at their serve yourself bar which has everything you need to make a tasty sauce. I made one that was really salty and savory and one that was more on the peanut/sesame side, although both were great. We did a split bowl of spicy broth on one side and the regular one on the other and then basically tried a little bit of most of what they had to offer. The beef and the shrimp were my favorite of the meats, although the chicken dipped in the peanut sauce was also great. Such a fun experience but get there early as they tend to fill up fast!
I came here with 2 coworkers and we all LOVED IT. We ate an insane amount and I thought the price was more than fair. My two coworkers arrived over 20 minutes after I did and even though the wait staff came by a few times they never rushed me to order or made me feel bad. We also weren't rushed to give up the table even though they were clearly very busy, and we ordered multiple rounds of food without any judgment, which I really appreciated. The food all came out in a timely fashion, we ate until our hearts content, and the food and hot pot broth was all delicious. I also loved the sauce bar, seriously if every restaurant had a sauce bar I think we'd all win. China Hot Pot is obviously doing really well for itself so I don't need to recommend it, but I would go back in a heart beat.
Been here years ago and stopped here again recently before flying back to Indiana. It's an all you can eat style hot pot place. Large menu choice and you of course can ask for the split pot. It is the one pot for the table style which I love! Service was quick and attentive without being overbearing. Lovely staff! Can't wait to go back! (And my dad really loved it. He hasn't had hot pot in decades and really enjoyed it!)
We came here to enjoy a nice warm meal on Christmas and had an amazing time! The place was pretty busy, so we called ahead to reserve a table. It's AYCE, and you mark the food you want on a paper menu. Drinks are not included. There is also a comprehensive sauce bar. The servers were attentive and very kind and made this a special holiday meal! We went with the split pot (nutritional and spicy). The spicy is definitely very spicy, but not the mala numbing type of spicy. The nutritional was flavorful as well. We ordered a lot of food, and overall felt it was good value (around $31 a person). Everything tasted fresh, and the handmade items (noodles and pancakes) were especially tasty. - Would highly recommend: taro, handmade noodles, pumpkin pancake, red bean pancake, mussels, squid, bean curd - Would pass on: fish fillet (tasted a little too fishy), pork bun (not the best flavor and the bun was a bit hard) - Other items that we ordered and enjoyed: sliced beef, beef tripe, lotus root, cuttlefish ball, fish tofu, fried tofu, enoki mushroom, Napa cabbage, scallion pancake, chives pancake, vermicelli
Area: located off of buford highway, this is one of many great asian food spots in atlanta. There is plenty of parking, and a few other food spots in the plaza. When we arrived, the place was packed! It's definitely a popular spot during the holidays, or just a good spot to spend time w large groups. We put our names down at the counter, and were able to sit in 30mins. The hot pot can be seen steaming up the windows during the winter. After sitting down, we chose our selections from a sheet of paper. We selected the split broth (spicy/nutritional) as well as a mix of proteins and vegetables. I was impressed by tbe variety of options here! The sauce bar is well-stocked and clean. It was a little hard to flag down waiters during the busy season, but after placing our order we got our first round quickly. The nutritional broth is a nice mild broth, that could pass for a chicken soup/congee base. We got orders of beef, lamb, veggies, noodles (hand pulled and ramen), eggs, etc. The shrimp balls and (imitation) crab sticks were very fishy, but everything else was amazing. Id definitely come back, just pass on the seafood. The scallion pancakes are also amazing!
Great fresh menu, stellar staff, and speedy service! Whenever we want to treat ourselves our family goes here for a hometown Chinese experience of hot pot. They have a great sauce station and I was surprised they had red bean paste! All normal AYCE rules apply-- don't waste food and keep it to two hours. Chinese customer service is less about being chatty and friendly and more about being speedy and getting the job done which I really appreciate.
