Our server was very friendly and quick with getting us what we wanted. I wish there was a “rule book” or more instructions on how to do all of this because it was very good, but I was very confused throughout. I wish I had known that apps and drinks were included in the price. I wish I knew how the temperature worked other than just up and down. I wish I was explained the “best way” to start with the meats and veggies. I wish someone explained the sauces. I wish they had let us know you could get different meats to try too. Fortunately, the food was delicious and I enjoyed the experience. I don’t know when we would be back again, but it would need to be with a group because it’s more fun what way. Unfortunately, the bathrooms were kinda gross.

Love going here, for those who love Ramen and make it you way, spice lovers this place is for you, mild all the way hot and super spice. Plenty of options to choose from on how you want to make your Ramen. Fun place to eat and have fun with tour food.

This is hands down the best Hot Pot place in Omaha and anywhere within like an hour and a half from there. Our server Tony was so amazing he was helpful, always made sure our drinks were filled, gave us suggestions of things to try, he is the kind of server that makes you want to come back because of his service. We will for sure be back!!

My kids (2 & 5) and I LOVE this place. I love that guests can have their individual bowls and I love how many options there are on the appetizer menus. My daughter eats the sesame balls until she’s stuffed. I enjoy the price and that we all leave satisfied. The staff is warm and make sure we are well taken care of.

A good spot to eat some hotpot in omaha. Good variety of stuff. Samantha the server was nice and attentive.
I am from out of town for work and Samantha was my server. She was very helpful and attentive. I appreciate her patience with all my questions. I'm from Minneapolis so I travel a lot and get to taste a lot of different food.
Trust me when I say this place is worth your time. This is pretty much 85-90% what you would get at a more expensive higher end hotpot place in NY/LA/Chicago.
When I first got there, I was worried because I looked at the menu and saw no seafood. I was thinking, hotpot without shrimp, mussel, or other seafood?! Samantha then told me that seafood, vegetables, and carbs were a self serve at the bar which was also nice. I haven't experienced that at any other hotpot place. I was almost disappointed! Beef, lamb, pork, or chicken slices can be ordered through your server along with some tasty appetizers. I had the galbi and takoyaki which were tasty.
Quality wise, the meat and vegetables are very comparable to bigger cities. Beef is beef, unless youre praying premium for wagyu at a high end hot pot place, there would be no difference. There was a good selection of everything from the veggies to the seafood. The sauce bar was tiny compared to what I am used to but to be honest, they had everything 99% of what most would need from chili oil, sesame oil, sesame paste, soy sauce, etc.
I got Sichuan in spicy and it was great. Definitely felt the peppercorn numbing effect. I also ordered the oxtail tongue and that was amazing. One of the better tongues Ive tried from any hotpot place.
I paid about $44 after tip. That is also very similar to any other AYCE hotpot for dinner.
If I am ever in Omaha, I would definitely visit here again. I enjoyed it very much.

Went the first time today (11-2-2025), was soooo good! The service was amazing! Atmosphere was cool and bright. The spicy pot… is very spicy 🌶️! My husband learned the hard way even after the waiter warned him. Remember you can always add spice. lol.
I like how each individual gets their own pot. Don’t over ordered…. Like all-you-can-eat sushi… you will get charged for meat and sides not eaten. Which in my opinion is reasonable.

Absolutely love Hotpot 88! The service is excellent—friendly, fast, and attentive. The food always comes out quickly, and they do a great job clearing plates throughout the meal. Everything is delicious with an amazing variety of flavors, and the toppings for creating your own meal are fantastic. It’s truly to die for! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great hotpot experience!
I've never been to a place like this and was way out of my element. Our waiter, Tony did an absolutely fantastic job of navigating us though the process. That dude definitely deserves a raise. 10/10 plan on coming back as long as he's our waiter.
