“This place is genuinely amazing. They put so much love into the atmosphere and the staff are incredibly helpful and considerate. Beware though, even the mild version of the spicy hot pot broth is pretty freaking spicy!
Also, beware of over eating because the food is amazing and the portions are large. I will absolutely come again.“

“This place is a win all the way around. Iv tried lots of hot pot and Korean BBQ places but this place really does it right. The food was great with all the options you could ask for. The meat was great quality and the broth was above average. We will definitely be coming back“

“The crab with glutinous rice here is to die for and the lobster with ginger and scallions is better than Boston Chinatown. Street parking can be difficult, so park in the Wollaston station parking lot and walk through the station. Though this is legit authentic Chinese food, they still offer sesame chicken for ABCs like me.“

“Food: I thought the broth rivaled a lot of other popular options in Chinatown/Allston. The spicy options were my favorite and complemented many of the options well. I thought the sauce bar was decent but not as extensive as some other places.
Service: mostly self-serve off an iPad - they won't check up too often.
Atmosphere: I appreciate the lanterns and the booths in the back. Will come out and sing for birthdays too which seems to be popular.
Overall: quality across the menu is great, and the soup bases are possibly my favorite in Boston. Can be a bit more expensive than other AYCE options, but generally worth it for the quality.“

“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. :)“

🐮 Found a new hot pot favorite in Boston Chinatown!
I was actually drawn in by the adorable cow outside Liu Yi Shou 🐮 and was pleasantly surprised to find that they now have lots of new dishes beyond the familiar AYCE hot pot lineup!
✨ A5 Wagyu
The A5 Wagyu is sliced incredibly thin, almost translucent between your chopsticks. Once it hits the boiling broth, the beautiful marbling slowly tightens up as the white fat melts into the meat. After just a few seconds, the slice curls up slightly and comes out glossy and perfectly tender.
The first bite is soft and buttery, with the rich Wagyu flavor following right after. My favorite way to eat it was in the mushroom broth—the earthy umami from the broth pairs so well with the richness of the Wagyu. Once the meat picks up a little of that broth, the flavor becomes deeper and more layered.
🍄 Fresh Live Mushrooms
One of the cutest new additions! The mushrooms are served whole, still keeping their natural shape and growth form. They’re freshly cut at the table before going straight into the hot pot.
The mushroom caps slowly soak up all that flavorful broth while the stems keep a nice, slightly springy texture. When you bite into them, the juices and natural mushroom aroma come together beautifully. Especially in the mushroom broth, the flavors really complement each other without overpowering the mushrooms themselves.
🌶 Green Pepper Beef
This one is a completely different vibe from the A5 Wagyu. Thinly sliced beef with vibrant green peppers—savory and meaty at first, followed by a fresh, slightly crisp pepper flavor that makes the whole dish feel lighter and more refreshing.
🥥 Fresh Coconut Chicken Broth
This might have been my favorite surprise! They pour in a freshly opened coconut right at the table, letting the fresh coconut water become part of the broth before adding the chicken.
The broth stays clear and delicate, with a naturally sweet coconut aroma. The chicken is super tender and juicy, and the whole flavor is light and comforting rather than heavy. Pair it with their slightly spicy fresh soy dipping sauce and the chicken tastes even more flavorful.
Beyond the food, the warm service and overall atmosphere made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely one of those places that leaves you already thinking about what to order next time 🥹🐮“

“It’s sad that my very first time here, was the final day of AYCE. The quality of food for AYCE was higher than some places where you pay for each ingredient. The new lunch set that they are replacing AYCE with, is still a lot of food at a reasonable price.
The staff were all so nice, and accommodating of my friend’s peanut allergy. Any questions we had about the food were easily answered, and the hand pulled noodles were out of this world.
Meat-wise I would recommend spicy beef to anyone who likes normal beef dipped in spicy broth, because the marinated beef kept its flavor in the non spicy broth as well.
You could also be a vegetarian and be very happy here with the options. The fried bean curd was very nice.
The ginger ice cream was also good.“

“Went there twice so far, can’t remember my servers name but she is overall very knowledgeable and friendly. She even remembered us from the first time we came. Their ice cream there… I’m obsessed! The food there was amazing! The beef bone is phenomenal, must say my favorite! The Chinese herb I believe it’s called, it’s also good. 10/10 recommend this place. I’m from PA but when I travel here I make sure to stop in.“

“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.“
“Generous portions for cheap! They give a lot of rice which fills you up, but a decent portion of main dish (I got pork and tofu). The main dishes are a bit oily, but they taste very good. The pork had a decent amount of lean meat as well as fatty, which is good. I wish the tofu had a little more taste, but it was still good. Food came very quickly. The soup it came with was too salty though, tasted like salt water. Everything here was around $12 which is a good deal! Recommend for a quick but filling meal.“

“I’ve had a very friendly interaction with my server today named Danny, he gave me an amazing service by providing information on the menu options and showing what options we could possibly get for the day, was able to attend to my every need and checked up on me to make sure the meal was going good. Glad I came to Mikiya today and couldn’t have asked for a better server.“

“I'm a west coast Shabu purist who used to work in Japan and I have to admit this place is very Chinese hot pot inspired BUT they do it in a clean honest Japanese way. Bright flavors, great cuts of meat, and fresh veggies. Great happy vibe and the window seat is an idyllic contrast between clean cultured shabu and gritty Chinatown. Love this place!“

“If you're looking for delicious, authentic Asian food, this place is a must visit. The happy hour hotpot menu has so many great options to choose from, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is fantastic. The staff is super polite, and for only $20 – $25, you really get your money's worth. Plus, they kindly provide the option of western utensils (fork, knife, spoon) if you need them. Highly recommend!“

“Went here with some friends a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it, everything is at the buffet except the main meats so the vegan in our party had a great time. Also, little to not risk of food waste as you can get only as much as you want. Flushing is very cool and it was a great time“

“this place has amazing food, amazing people and amazing vibes. wandered in here at 1030pm looking for good hotpot and ended up enjoying a barrel of laughs as well. Amazing staff, food and environment. Far beyond what was expected. Walked 40 minutes to Chinatown for this instead of taking an Uber and left with a huge smile on my face! if you're looking for good hot pot in Boston please choose this place. I'd also recommend ordering your drinks from this place they certainly won't be shy about it“
