I've had AYCE hot pot here several times, and just came again today with a friend - quality is pretty consistent it never disappoints, at $40pp. At this point, it's probably my go-to spot for hot pot in cinatown, would really rec! The price includes AYCE hot pot, including two special orders per person (wagyu, scallop, lobster, etc.), and my personal favorite, unlimited bottled/can drinks!! I always grab like 3 drinks whenever I come, can't miss out on the childhood favs like the coconut milk & jasmine tea. They have a pretty good selection of the typical hot pot meat and vegetable options, and everything was yummy. The service is pretty self-sufficient, you order the frozen meats on the ipad that they give you, and they bring you the food. Other than that, you can help yourself to the rest of the food and sauces, buffet style. The only limiting thing here is dessert. The hot pots here are also more communal, in that there's one large pot in the middle - great for larger groups! I never had to make a reservation in the past, and there was no wait today on a Saturday afternoon. This place is a bit tucked away, so you'd have to take the elevator to the 3rd floor to get to in.

TERRIBLE for solo diners/travelers. I'm not paying $10 EXTRA just because the broth is in a large pot. I could've splurged for a reasonable $2-5 up charge. 10 is absolutely ridiculous. I won't be returning and I'm telling all of my traveling (flight attendant) friends to not patronize this place. OH and the restaurant was practically empty, on a Sunday afternoon. Good luck suckers

Great value for ayce! Broth is very flavorful you don't really even need the sauce. You have to get the split pot with two flavors. We got sichuan and bone broth and loved them both. Medium spicy is pretty spicy even though Im Asian, so be careful for those that cant handle heat. Great option overall and even have free lobster! There was 7 of us so we got two lobsters. Their premium limited items were phenomenal too, the wagyu was probably american but really well marbled. They also have a small section of cold plates ready to eat that were great, i liked the tripe dish a lot. Also free drinks is such a plus and they got some cool asian drinks. Only issue is the elevator smells like fish haha like rotten fish. But once you get through that the interior and ambiance is very elegant and makes ypu forget about the fish smell immediately. I suggest reservations at peak times as we walked in at four but at 6 there were a lot of people waiting

WELL WORTH THE PRICE, on initial glance, the price tag can be quite intimidating but listen here...the value is impeccable and hard to beat Fresh seafood, unlimited beef, unlimited asian drinks... The salmon sashimi was actually my favorite thing on the menu...super clean taste, delicious Feels like a completely different ambience and environment when you are on the street and take the elevator up. Service is 4/5 - quite responsive but at times, they can lag. Not too big a deal tho!

Came here for the third or fourth time. It never disappoints. They always have good selections of meat and vegetables options. The included bottled/can drinks are also so good. For $39.99, it is all you can eat and with two premium items per person. Good value and tasty! The staff was kind and checked on the water level a few times. I recommend waitlisting or making a reservation on Yelp ahead of time as the wait can be quite long during prime dining hours. The inside seems clean but the elevator going up was a bit sketchy. The only down side was the limited dessert options. We will be back!!!!

There is a wait if you go at peak hours (weekends, dinner time). This place is good. They limit you on the premium items, such has crabs, wagyu beef, etc. The selection is good and they also offer unlimited drinks . One of the better hotpots in Chinatown. I think it is 39.99 all you can eat. Service is good and they check if you need more broth.

Very tasty hot pot place with great variety of items. On floor 3 for the elevator in the Cherry St alley. Good drink assortment that's included with the hot pot. Price for all you can eat includes lobster, crab, ribs, on top of the special proteins, so there is only the one price level. Other places may have 2 tiers for regular or premium but this only has 1 so be ready. Nice inside and the tables are big for all your plates and such. Staff good at bringing out more things for you or filling up broths. All the food trays were nicely kept and refilled when low. All the standard hot pot items veggies, noodles, fish balls, etc. The sauce cart was well stocked as well.

Had another great dinner at kung Fu hot pot! Personally I enjoy the communal style with a small group. Everything was plentiful and fresh. Service was fast and a weeknight was quiet and cheaper as well! One slightly annoying thing is that the cord from the hot pot pot kept falling into my lap. The unlimited asian drinks are a nice touch.

I've never been to a hotpot before, so I was a little hesitant in doing so. I ended up having such a fun experience! The ambiance in this place was very cute. We were able to get unlimited meats and noodles to cook, and the drinks are endless as well. Our service was very quick, and we got a lot of food. Definitely recommend while in Chinatown!

My husband and I always enjoy coming here for hotpot as their selection is always a treat! It's a little hard to find at first. There's a small elevator in a dinky doorway. It smells like fish going up but you can see they tried to compensate by placing numerous air fresheners in there ha ha! Seating area is gorgeous! It's as if you're eating at an outdoor market. It can accommodate large groups very well and on busy nights they do have a wait list so you can enjoy the town while waiting. We've waited at most 2 hours 45 min for a party of 5 on a Friday night. 0 minutes on a Wednesday night for 2! Food choices are mostly seafood and your typical hot pot meats with a couple more unique items you would usually only see in an Asian grocery store. They always taste great and have a good selection of vegetables as well. My husband loves that they offer unlimited Asian teas and cold drinks in a refrigerator in the bar area. They're all delicious and fun to try for those that haven't had them before. Service is great, as you order everything in a iPad and items come promptly. We never had issues with seating or getting service when needed, Definitely recommend overall. Make sure if you do plan on coming on a busy night to keep an eye on the waitlist and put your name early!
