I visited a buffet hot pot restaurant in Malden, Boston, and had an amazing dining experience! For an average of $35 per person (before tax), you get access to a wide selection of seafood and high-quality beef and lamb. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the beef had an excellent texture and flavor. The variety of options and the freshness of the ingredients really stood out, making it a great place for anyone who loves hot pot. Highly recommended!

Love the place, simple, easy, and fresh ingredients.
I love the sauce station that have Pan Tai Suki Yaki sauce. Garlics and Chili are great to add on along with cilantro and lemon. (It would be nice to have lime juice ?). The traditional Sasha sauce is also available with Sriracha, Vinegar, and other things that really good as well.
Food comes out very quickly. I love squids and octopuses the most. Very fresh and tender. The portion is great and small which I like a lot so I can try more food too.
Service is alright on Sunday night but we were not in a rush so we don’t mind.
We enjoyed our time there a lot even we came a little later on Sunday night.
The price is a bit high comparing to surrounding Hot Pot Buffet near by. It is $35+ per person and kid is like $16+. But the quality is there so we don’t mind paying for it. Honestly, if I want to eat hotpot I never care for price ?
The parking is huge and I can walk up to the restaurant door without parking far away. It is very convenient for family with small children or handicapped.
Bathroom is neat and clean and staffs are always there to help.
I definitely be back with more friends and family. Love your place. Keep up the good work, Bao Bao.

I’m honestly just writing this review because they had 666 when I looked up the place and it made me uncomfortable. Y’know, just trying to be safe. I’m sure the place is like decent maybe great/amazing even.

The meat quality was really good. I can't speak to the sushi as I went on Monday and the sushi bar was closed, but it is worth going to this place just for the hot pot. The hot pot was so good.
Their single portions are pretty big so make sure not to over order right off the bat. The broth was tasty and the meat was good quality and had a good atmosphere.
Their sauce station was standard, but still good.

This was our first time here as well as our first time trying hotpot. This place was recommended by a work friend of my boyfriend. I am obsessed. Everything was super great. The broths were good and tasty. We mixed our own sauce for dipping which was nice to be able to customize myself. The service was great. Maitai was good. Staff was super friendly and responsive. It was relatively quite tonight which was nice as I don't typically like loud environments while eating out (i know, unavoidable) lol. Highly recommend.!!!

Some of the ingredients are not fresh, the dishes are incomplete, the service is so-so, and the mandatory tip starts at 18%

We just ate here. It was pretty good but something sort of unfortunate happened at the end that made us lose our appetite a bit.The clams come closed, so early in the meal my husband put them in his soup. Unfortunately one of them when he got it out (almost to the end of the meal) wasn’t fully opened so he opened it with a fork and it was all black inside filled with something that can only really be described as black sludge. See photo….We let our server know and she didn’t really have anything to say, then we asked for a manager and he handled the situation very well. He said unfortunately since the clams are all closed there was no way they could have known that one was like that, fair. I don’t disagree.He explained it does happen from time to time and this it is basically sand/dirt and that it was likely fine because it had stayed closed and didn’t leak into the soup.Either way, wasn’t appetizing in the least bit….I think they should serve these open like they do the mussels to avoid this. Anyways, the manager comped our beer and soda which we appreciated.The rest of the ingredients were good, the only thing is the broths aren’t super flavorful like at some hot pot places I’ve been to in the area. They are pretty bland.One nice thing though is that this place has a sauce and toppings bar so you can doctor the broths up a bit to your liking. Anyways, we will go back since this saves us a trip to Chinatown where there is no parking, but will def skip the clams…..$35 per person for all you can eat but they will not let you take anything to go and you have to eat it all or they charge $10 per person. Heads up on that, so start ordering slow. It is printed all over the menu as a reminder.

Solid place for all you can eat hotpot. Note that it does not include all you can eat sushi. Service was attentive and all the vegetables, seafood, and meat were fresh. The tomato base was not a fan favorite for the table, but we did enjoy the mushroom broth. Plenty of parking.
