Meet Chongqing Hot Pot

“ I used to love the old hot pot place, Nine Spices. This place is pretty much the same, but with added floral decor everywhere. They still use the conveyor belt, but added a freezer for the meats, cold bar for seafood and other items, and ice cream/popsicles. They had a decent variety, but many were not popular with my group. The service was fine, but I can see it getting slow if they get super busy. This is a decent hot pot buffet, but pretty comparable to nearby competitors. ”

“ Whew this place was good. Right when you walk in just the smell of spices hit you in the face. The teddy bear bomb was adorable and delicious. I wish I lived closer I'd come here way too often! ”

“ The staff here was friendly. We were looking for a legit Chinese place and we're huge fans of hot pot. This place is authentic, tasty and has a decent amount of spice. My wife is from Guizhou and this place said it's close enough to food from home that she would come back. Kids love the decorations and the music playing and ice cream lol. ”

“ We chose the #2 Mala Spicy Beef Tallow with three chilis next to it - SPICY AF!! the sichaun spice had a numbing effect on the tongue I almost didn't think I can manage it. I almost put some water in it to dilute it but I rolled with it and it was fantastic. I probably would choose a lower spicy base and just add the chili myself next time because it was no joke. What was nice is they do come around with more broth to refill your hot pot complimentary. They have all your staple hot pot items - my favorite is the wood ear mushrooms. I do appreciate the conveyor belt so you don't have to get up for noodles and dumplings (I loved the dumpling). If I was to compare to the lemongrass hot pot I'd say they're both very similar but due to the parking situation at lemongrass in davie I'd choose this one. ”

“ We got spicy mala and bone broth hot pot. Delicious and fresh veggies. The amount of vegetable selections are huge. After food desserts were mung beans and jelly, also fruits and popsicles. Fast service ”

“ Had hotpot for dinner here and when i was looking through the choices i noticed they didnt have the fatty beef and i was thinking why wouldnt a hot pot place have the thin fatty beef slices and was thinking ehh. When we finished eatting and paid already, we saw the thinly sliced beef was in a separate fridge neglected from everything else!!! Server didnt pay much attention to us. Everything else was fine though. From what we did get to eat, it was tasty ”

“ We made reservations for our group of 11 for hot pot lunch, and we got seated in a wonderful side room at a large round table with plenty of space for our group. It's all-you-can-eat here, so make sure you come hungry! You start off by getting your base - the Tom Yum Coconut Chicken Soup Base was delicious! - and then you're own your own to grab everything else you want. So many different options of frozen meats, fresh meats and fish, veggies as well as a conveyor belt in the middle rotating different small items and noodles as well. Good fresh fruit options as well as some mini ice creams for dessert. Good service. They routinely came over to refill our drinks and soup base. I believe we paid about $40/person, so a pretty decent price for AYCE hot pot. A good choice for lunch or dinner. ”

“ A hidden gem for local hotpot. Great for a late night dinner on a chilly night! It's one price for all-you-can-eat, with meat bars, vegetable bars, seafood bars and a conveyer belt for noodles. You choose your soup base as soon as you sit down. Pictured on the left is the Spicy Tomato Soup Base (the best! A great combination of savory with a hint of sweet). Pictured on the right is Tom yum broth, and I've been told it's the best Tom yum broth in town. The broths really made our experience enjoyable and we definitely plan to be back soon. There is an array of meats to choose, from fatty, to lean, to spicy seasoned - all yummy! Service is self-serve, the waiters regularly monitor your water cups and broth levels and refill as needed. The only downside I wish could be improved on is the utensils we use to cook - we only have an Asian soup spoon and chopsticks. I wish we had a strainer spoon so I don't lose my food in my soup, ”

“ This is a wonderful Hot Pot joint! Now this was a messy adventure but we loved every minute. When we walked inside we sat at a booth and asked if we wanted our own individual small pots or a large pot. We opted for the small pots. When you sit down you are asked first for your broth and then your drink of choice. I got a #1 (spicy pork base) and my husband got #8 (tomato spicy chicken base) my husband's broth was actually my favorite but my broth was delicious as well. They have a conveyor belt with different noodles, veggies, and pork dumplings (get the dumplings they are AMAZING). While the buffet area has different selections of seafood, veggies, sauces and dips. On the side they have a freezer and it has fatty beef, beef, chicken & lamb. Staff at first were very good with coming around grabbing plates & filling up our broth but once a crowd came in it took a little while to get help to pay. Would recommend to visit. Will be coming back for the #8 next! ”

“ WOW this is a hidden gem! It's located in the corner of a shopping center. The hot pot is so interactive, very nice to go on a double date. You pick the base you would like for the broth; we chose the coconut chicken broth and the spicy chongqing mala beef tallow soup. The coconut chicken broth was my favorite, very flavorful. You get to pick your veggies, spices and sauces to place in your hot pot. There is a variety of meats and seafood to choose from. We highly enjoyed our dinner. The fatty beef was my favorite, it really absorbs the flavor of the broth. I added garlic, cilantro and onions to give it a ton of flavor. Some vegetables I chose from were bok choy, broccoli, and cauliflower. There is a rotating belt where you can pick from a variety of vegetables and noodles to add into your broth. The best noodles imo are the egg noodles and soba noodles. The service was great, the staff come around and pick up all the extra plates as you're eating. Very attentive! They even refilled our broth so we can continue digging in. I highly recommend you check it out, you will not be disappointed. ”
