Absolutely love this place. The broths are so flavorful and the choices for meat and veggies are great. They are always so kind and tolerant of my two year old who can be very roudy at times.
Service is okay
But food on the menu picture was very misleading! On picture was hug but I got just a small piece!
Not a place I’d recommend to friends.
Love the lunch all you can eat option. Good value.
Horrible!
Hidden gem for sure — quality stuff for the price.
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.
So warm and yummy the food was never cold.
So short waiting time.

La Mei Hot Pot is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic and flavorful hot pot experiences. From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma and warm atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the variety of options ensures there’s something for everyone. The broth options are a standout—rich, aromatic, and full of depth.
We’ve been coming here almost twice a month for six months last year and have started doing the same this year as well. We’ve brought numerous friends along, and everyone has loved it! Our go-to order is the double broth with veggies, lamb, and tofu, and we always opt for the hand-pulled noodles—they are absolutely delicious and a must-try.
The service is impeccable, with staff who are friendly, attentive, and eager to make recommendations. They make sure everything runs smoothly, from explaining the menu to ensuring your table has everything you need. The attention to detail truly enhances the dining experience.
The quality of the food and the overall experience make the prices more than reasonable. Whether you’re a hot pot aficionado or trying it for the first time, La Mei Hot Pot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely continue coming back and recommending it to all our friends!

I've been meaning to try LaMei for a while. The restaurant is quite spacious. We ended up using one pot between 5 people, which I think is close to the reasonable limit that can comfortably use one pot. We got the two flavor broth with bone broth and the spicy premium beef tallow broth. I don't remember if we got mild or medium, but it was very spicy. I didn't end up using any of my sauce because the spicy broth was so strongly flavored.
The highlight for me was definitely the shrimp paste, but I haven't really met a shrimp paste that I don't like. The fish fillet was also pretty good, as was the sliced premium beef (the fatty one). I wouldn't get the ribeye or marinated spicy beef again -- those didn't have good texture.
There were a couple of things for which we weren't sure of the freshness -- the bamboo fungus, for example, had some black spots and didn't taste great. I hope it wasn't mold...
The sauce bar had a good selection, but it did cost $2.95 per person. And if you get the spicy broth, I don't think the sauce is needed. I don't know what it was, but the food was *really* hot which made it a bit hard to eat for impatient people like me.
Overall I liked the shrimp paste, but nothing else was particularly notable. I prefer the broth and meats at Happy Lamb AYCE, so I would definitely go there over here.
