Previous: Delicious entrees and pho if that's what you're looking for.Update: sadly disappointed last time we visited. Wife and I really liked this place enough to make the one hour plus travel to go eat here and spend the day around the metro area.Last time we went, about a couple of weeks ago (March 2024) there were soup ingredients that never came down the belt, the meats tasted weird, and the noodles were not good quality or something (turned our broth into thick goop). Might not visit again.
I felt it was overpriced and basic selections I found one that was better on selections and flavorful

Tried coming here on a Friday night and was turned away. Google says they close at 12am so why am I being turned away at 11:12. Right when I walked in the servers looked at us and kept walking after a while they told us “Sorry we are closed.”. They should definitely change their google information to state that they close at 11pm.

3/31/24 Because today is Easter, everything has been closed, but I Luv Hot Pot was open!! I had a wonderful time eating here again. I can for sure see myself eating and bringing my friends here. Speaking of friends, one of my close friends is vegetarian. When I was dining here I try to keep in mind if she would be able to eat, and safe to say this is a vegetarian safe place to eat!!Vegetarian options: They had many vegetables and mushrooms, which are mostly what I grabbed. Within those categories, there were even more options! Enoki mushrooms especially were a delightful surprise.Kid-friendliness: My brother has autism, so being able to bring him to a place where it can guarantee some privacy from his misfits is always great.
My family went there last night for the first time. We absolutely loved it! All of the food is so fresh, the soup broth is delicious (4 types), and there are lots of choices of noodles, meats, and vegetables. The sushi is very tasty as well! Customer service with the hostess and waiter was excellent. We look forward to going back very soon!

This place is very cool but be careful not to take too many vegetables and meats! You're being charged by the plate you take. Pro tip: many of the vegetables and meats can be shared among your table, you don't each have to have your own.

I Luv Hot Pot is a fun place. I have wanted to visit this restaurant for several years now and finally got around to it. The food is tasty. The ambiance is spectacular, the restaurant is decorated in a fun, inviting way, with led lighting, the revolving items bar, and fun chandeliers. The service is good, as the servers only need to bring your drinks and you can request rice from them if you want it, as it is not a revolving item. Each person at the table chooses a hotpot broth. Each person pays around $5 for the hotpot broth. Each item that you add to the hotpot is on the revolving conveyor belt. There are tons of choices. Each plate you take from the conveyor belt has a price, ranging from $3 - $10. There are soooo many options of items to choose from and this is one of my favorite things about this place. There are about 5 different types of noodles to choose from, like egg noodles, udon, ramen, rice vermicelli, etc., there is tons of veggies from bok choy, broccoli, bean sprouts, sweet potatoes, watercress, etc. and the protein choices are outstanding! Some of the offered proteins are eggs, tofu, thin sliced, chicken, several pork options, several beef options, shrimp, tiger prawns, snow crab, escargot and lobster. And I know it seems like I have listed a good bit of choices from the conveyor belt, but I promise there is many more options than I listed, they also offer things like potstickers / dumplings, etc. Most of the items are $3, especially the noodles, veggies, dumplings, some proteins, etc. and the options go up in price a few dollars depending on meat choice. The $10 items are the lobster, tiger prawns & snow crab. I know you may think, the cost is really adding up here, but you get your moneys worth, because each plate you take from the conveyor belt, has so much on it. You definitely want to take friends and share each plate with them. The plates are made for sharing, as the quantity on them is really great. The vegetables and meat all seemed very fresh as well, which made me very happy. There is also a sauce bar of course where you can create your own hotpot dipping sauce. The selection on the sauce bar is pretty good. I will also say the food was very delicious! The atmosphere was very fun. The price ended up being around $45 a person as we tried a lot of items and split the total bill 3 ways. So this is no more and maybe a little less than we spend at most hotpot restaurants that are AYCE. One added bonus is that we were all stuffed and we still had a good bit of food left. And unlike AYCE spots, the waiter came to the table to bring us to-go bowls and to-go boxes and you can take all of your leftovers with you! So I am sure you are thinking, why is this girl only rating this place 3 stars when this review sounds like the place is outstanding! And yes, the food, selection of choices, taste of the food, the cost, etc. is all great! The reason for my 3 star review is that my one big turn off is that the restaurant is not that clean. The floor from the door, to the table, to the bathrooms, is oily and slippery feeling. The plates & silverware, etc. was not very clean, there was food particles on several of our plates and we had to get new ones or thoroughly wipe them down ourselves. Several of the bowls we got from the sauce bar, also were not clean. This was a huge disappointment. We really loved this place, but it was very hard to get over the lack of cleanliness. I would love to go back to this restaurant many time, but it's something I will have to think about, just because all of us at our table was a bit turned off by the lack of cleanliness. If they can work on this and clean things up, this place would definitely get 5 stars from me.
