This restaurant is disgusting. Food have bugs.

I have been here in the past, I think the quality has decreased dramatically and I think the customers realize, there is evidently less people then before. I feel as if the soup has been diluted and no flavor compared to before and the chicken is rough and less pieces. lamb skewers were really bad and no flavor and oily, was much better before sadly

Here to try out the so-called Charcoal Hot Pot. Ordered the beef chest, tofu skin, handmade noodle, and some intestines with spicy and pickle cabbage pork broth. The pickle cabbage broth is the bummer as it doesn't have any taste and completely water down. I was actually very surprised because it is literally just warm water with some sliced cabbage in there. The spicy broth is okay but without much flavor as well. The best dish of the night is probably the beef chest although it doesn't even look like the picture shown on the menu. Overall, I think even the chain store Haidilao is better.

Loved my experience at East Town hot pot!! It was my first time seeing a charcoal hot pot, and I loved that you could choose two types of soup for each pot! They have a really wide selection of proteins and veggies. I highly recommend the beef and lamb combo! It’s mostly beef options, but it gives you a good selection of their proteins! Also, save some room for dessert! They have fresh cut fruits, popcorn, and a soft serve machine!

One of my favorite hot pot spots! Quality and presentation are incredible. My favorite order is the Two Hot Pot Base (sukiyaki and east town spicy soup) with the Beef + Lamb combo. It is presented beautifully in a huge meat ring around the table. I also like to order the corn and rainbow noodles to put in the hot pot. The rainbow noodles soak up the broth, so I put half the noodles in one broth, and the other half of the noodles in the other broth, to get sweet noodles and spicy noodles. Super flavorful.

Service here has been great as well. The servers are attentive and come around to refill our broth multiple times. And the restaurant is clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Looking forward to continuing to return here!

It’s my first time having this such grand-looking hotpot. The charcoal hotpot is totally a must-try. The set comes with a lot of meat types, beef and lamb. You have to order another 2 soup bases which cost extra. The price is moderate but I think it’s a great place for celebration. They also have sides, sauces and dessert bar included in the dining. Live music from 7-9pm otherwise karaoke Chinese songs. Totally love the vibes!!

If you're looking for a next-level hot pot experience, this spot does not disappoint! The charcoal flame adds an extra layer of depth to the broth, and ordering is super easy--you order everything à la carte right from your phone, and it's delivered straight to your table.

We went with a split pot featuring the House Special Butter Spicy Soup and Coconut Chicken Soup--the perfect balance of bold, fiery spice and creamy, comforting flavors. Fair warning: the spicy broth is NOT for the weak! But if you can handle the heat, it's packed with flavor.

For our meats, we got the Beef & Lamb Combo, which came with a robust variety of different cuts--all tender and full of flavor. Bonus: it comes with a dry ice show, which makes for an impressive tableside moment--perfect for a date!

We also had to try the House Special Meatballs Combo, and wow--each bite was juicy and packed with savory goodness. Add in fresh enoki mushrooms and those colorful rainbow noodles, and you've got a feast!

Another highlight? Their create-your-own sauce bar--so many ingredients to mix up the perfect dipping sauce. And don't skip the dessert & snack bar for a sweet ending!

This place is a must-visit for hot pot lovers! :)

It was my first time going to East Town Hot Pot and I love the interior here, the atmosphere and ambiance was nice. This was also my first time experiencing traditional charcoal hot pot which I thought was pretty cool!

The food was good, you can order through a tablet which I thought was convenient. There's a few selection of soup bases to order from including seafood, mushroom, tomato and sukiyaki. For meat, I recommend the Beef and Lamb combo, 5 different meat is included. Side note, the combo is also very video and picture worthy since a layer of dry ice is on added the bottom and when water is poured on top, giving it a nice cloudy mist. The separated layer of beautifully presented meat is placed on top. Oysters and abalone are so fresh here.

There's a self-serve dipping bar, feel free to grab whatever you like but note, there is a charge per person. Service is friendly here and attentive. There was a live performer singing throughout my meal here so it was a nice experience. I'll love to come back with friends to enjoy hot pot here again!

Nice ambiance! I like their DIY sauce bar, spicy soup broth with beef slices. The service was nice and inviting. I ordered the seafood combo, fish all combo and veggie combo. It was more than enough food for two people. They also have alcohol here. It's a good place to eat and drink!

Consider eliminating the live singers. Came here to eat and chat with my friends, ended up eating in silence because we couldn’t hear a thing from each other.

They charge the items not available and tips over tax
Stay away !

Very good place to have meal with friends and family, decent price and the seafood was pretty good too

They are severely understaffed.
Also, some pictures in the menu are very different from what is served.
And the staff don't know which soups are spicy and which aren't, and ordering the mild heat level didn't seem to help.

The lamb skewers were probably the worst I've had anywhere.
