Hot Pot Restaurants near Brookline, MA

“Amazing 10/10 recommend. $28/person AYCE for lunch Mon-Sun 11:30-4:30pm. The soup bases and options are delicious and I was FULL by the end. Excellent service and great sauce. This is gonna be my new go-to hot pot, can’t beat the price and location and quality.“

“Great overall experience! It’s a la carte so it can get pricey and the sauce bare was not included 🤨 but the broths and meat/seafood selection were great! A great place for large groups and special events but maybe not the best for a casual night out.“

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!“

“Amazing experience every time i’ve been. The last few times Carmen was our server and she was the absolute best!! Catered to our every need, and was super nice and friendly! 🙂‍↕️“

The star of the show is undoubtedly the fresh and delicious base sauce. It’s rich in flavor and truly elevates every ingredient you choose. DLY offers both buffet options and individual orders, which is perfect for any dining preference. We opted for the buffet, and I must say, it was incredibly filling! You get to explore a wide variety of vegetables, noodles, and proteins to create your ideal hotpot.

One of the highlights is the fresh topping station. Here, you can pick up a selection of sides that add extra bursts of flavor to your hotpot. Whether you prefer a spicy kick or something more savory, the options are plentiful and allow for customization that makes the meal even more enjoyable.

Overall, DLY is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a fantastic vegetarian hotpot experience. Fresh ingredients, delicious sauces, and a fun buffet format make it a perfect place for both casual dining and special occasions. You won’t leave hungry, that’s for sure!“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“I get the same thing every time I go and I absolutely love it. The waitress that we normally have, I forget her name. She always makes some sort of recommendation. So we do get something new each time. I trust her recommendations. I love there, mule, drink. You can just always come on hot, fresh, tasty food. Each and every time“

“Good for friends get together. Be sure to get there early - no reservations and always a line“

“Liuyishou Hotpot delivers an amazing dining experience! The broth is rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of spice and aroma. Every ingredient—from the thinly sliced meats to the fresh vegetables—was high quality and beautifully presented.

The service was also excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to help with any questions, especially for first-time visitors. They made sure our table had everything we needed throughout the meal.

If you’re looking for authentic and delicious hotpot with top-notch service, Liuyishou is definitely the place to go!“

“Premium buffet cost less than 40$ with a lot of protein Avbl (Beef brisket, tongue etc). The options for food is plenty and it worths the price. Even single person get treated nicely, which is very good. However it is not friendly for vegetarians, due to the lack of clear indication in their food selection area (some of them might seem to be vegetarian while contain animal products) so be careful.“

“This is the best restaurant on Moody! My wife and I came on a whim when they opened a few years ago. We have been coming almost monthly ever since. The food is fantastic. The variety is incredible. Service and atmosphere wonderful and inviting. And the drink menu is extensive, both in delicious cocktails and a sake list we are still working through to this date. Any time we have friends in town, we bring them to Shiki Shabu Shabu as a treat to ourselves and them. Casual dinner at the bar is fun and groups at tables is an experience. This is what Moody has been missing!“

“This was my first visit to Wei Shu Wu Hot Pot, and I’m already planning to return. Located at 47 Billings Road in North Quincy, it’s easy to reach by rideshare or MBTA (North Quincy T Station) and once inside, the space feels modern, spotless, and surprisingly upscale for a hot pot restaurant.

We came as part of a large dining club, and the restaurant offered us a special group deal, which was both generous and smoothly managed. Even with a big party, the service was attentive, efficient, and warm.

The food was beautifully fresh and presented with care. I ordered a wide range of meats, vegetables, tofu, and seafood. At our table, we had three broth choices:
• A classic chicken broth — mild and comforting.
• A mushroom broth — earthy, rich, and deeply flavorful.
• A spicy broth (ordered mild) — still had a fiery kick and lots of depth.

We also tried the shrimp paste, which you squeeze into the pot yourself. I found it interesting but probably wouldn’t order it again personally—though others at the table really enjoyed it. It’s definitely worth trying if you’re curious.

One of the most impressive parts of the experience was the sauce station. It was immaculate and fully stocked, including generous amounts of fresh green onions and cilantro, sesame paste, garlic, vinegar, soy, chili oil, and more. They also had a tray of chicken or duck bones with plenty of meat still on them—available for you to take back to your table and enrich your broth. I’ve never seen that offered so freely before, and it was a fantastic touch.

I also tried two mocktails, and both were excellent:
• The first was like a watermelon smoothie—icy, refreshing, and sweet without being too sugary.
• The second was called “Melon Watermelon” and had a more delicate flavor. I believe it was intended to blend honeydew and watermelon, though it tasted a bit like watermelon with a hint of berries. Light, unique, and beautifully presented—neither drink felt like an afterthought.

And finally—the bathroom deserves its own round of applause. It was spotless and fully stocked with amenities: hand lotion, a hair dryer, Q-tips, cotton balls, paper cups, and mouthwash. It genuinely felt more like a boutique hotel powder room than a restaurant restroom. That kind of thoughtful detail really reflects the care that goes into the entire experience at Wei Shu Wu.

Note: The menu isn’t available online. It’s displayed on an iPad-style tablet at the table. I’ve included photos in this review to help future diners get a sense of what’s available.

Whether you’re a hot pot regular or trying it for the first time, Wei Shu Wu stands out for its freshness, hospitality, and attention to detail. I left full, impressed, and already thinking about my next visit.“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“Delicious!!!! BEST SUSHI IN QUINCY!“

“Always great experience. GM always on the floor helping out the staff. Staff is always nice and on point. Look at the food and it speaks for itself!!!“

“this shabu restaurant The service is excellent, and there is a wide variety of options, especially the appetizers, which are unlimited—something you don’t find in similar restaurants. The meat is very fresh, and the price is only $29.95 on weekdays, including all meat and seafood. This is the best hot pot restaurant I’ve tried in Boston.“

“This was great food. Everything was obviously fresh and high quality. We ordered from the menu, not hot pot, and all the dishes were cooked exactly perfectly. Even the appetizers were clearly cooked with care. And they have a really extensive menu of hot pot items, plus plenty of other dishes. They really care about making the best food and they succeed.“

“Hot pot, they have variety side dishes for what u can pick and the desserts are so delicious 🤤. The fatty beef is the must try.
Packing on commonwealth is easily catch a 2hrs parking which is my concern the most. Now the show is on.. enjoy it“

“Not sure why it’s not rated higher for the price and hot pot options. We use to live near Spring Shabu in Allston which is fantastic! Tai Xi’s price for unlimited meat and seafood in conjunction with broth choices are wonderful! We always leave satisfied and the service is fast.“

“Fast, friendly service. Great selection. No pressure or rush. Very relaxing. Good flavors.“

“Had a fantastic time at Happy Lamb! The weekend dinner price is $35 per person (including taxes), but it’s more affordable on weekdays and even lower for lunch. Totally worth it for the experience!

The staff is incredible! super attentive, quick, and courteous. They’re always on their toes, making sure everything runs smoothly.

The food options are endless! From fresh meats and seafood to a variety of veggies, noodles, and more, there’s something for everyone. The broth selection is impressive, with plenty of choices for both meat lovers and vegetarians.

It’s an all-you-can-eat experience for 90 minutes, so come hungry!!“

“For a party of four we have ordered the following as take out
1. Szechuan Kung Pao Chicken
2. Chinese Cabbage Fried Yuba
3. Hand Pulled Biang Biang Noodle W Spicy Cumin Beef
4. Popcorn Chicken

Two rice boxes came as sides
The seating is quite limited ah still we were able to go to the nearby concert park area and sit on a bench to share a meal. The food was delicious! You typically order via the kiosk and the food comes out at just the right temperature to warm you up even while eating outside on a moderately cold day.

The service was kind! The staff did try to find a spot for us - but we decided to eat outside so that we had a wider seating arrangement.

The food is made quickly and with care.
God bless you all!“

“This is my boyfriend and my favorite restaurant in the mass area!! The value of the food is great and it’s delicious but the service is what makes it truly 5+ stars. Alex is truly the most attentive and kind person ever! He’s attended our table so many times and every single time, does a phenomenal job. Thank you so much Alex for everything!! You’re the best 🤩“

“Great experience! The all you can eat buffet price makes it 100% worth it. Not many hot pot places offer that. Fresh food, great service!“

“This is a great place to go with friends, share a meal and have a great conversation. The beef tongue and octopus appetizers are delicious. Cooking your meal in the hotpot helps encourage conversations. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Very authentic Northeast cuisine is almost the restaurant I eat every day when I live in Malden.Even if we move out of this area now, we will come here to eat specially. The newly renovated restaurant is very satisfactory. Highly recommended! ! !“
