Hot Pot Restaurants near East Brunswick, NJ

“Service is very poor waiters no type training seat you and just leave you food burning up on grill“

“​This is one of those places my whole family is willing to make an hour drive for. We always get the seafood hotpot, and while it's a bit pricier than other spots, the quality totally justifies the price. My parents are huge seafood fans, so they know what's good, and the food here consistently exceeds their expectations.
​We came on a Friday at 5:30 PM and there were still plenty of seats available. You can put your name on the Google waitlist if needed, but if you come early, you should be fine. They have a minimum two-person dine-in policy, which totally makes sense. Honestly, if you really want to try everything, you need a good group of 4–6 people so you’re not stuck eating just two dishes.
​You order everything on an iPad and then hand it to a staff member to place it. It might help to know a little Chinese at this establishment. They also have a sauce bar and a drinks fridge with fruits and other snacks to grab while you wait for your food.
​As always, you must end the meal with the durian. I’m not sure how they manage to get such yummy durian all the time, but this is apparently the place to eat it to your heart's content. The jelly dessert was just okay—tasted more like a boxed jello mix. Pro-tip: if you pay in cash, you can get their tea to go at the end.
​We left extremely full and probably don't need to eat for the next several meals, but I’m already looking forward to the next time I return.“

“Happy Lamb is always one of my go-to hotpot places when I’m in Edison. The service is usually fast and the staff has always been helpful and pleasant. If you happen to come by one a busy night there can be a long wait time, this is normal for any restaurant and despite the wait time, once you’re seated things move fast and food is brought out in an appropriate amount of time. My only point of criticism would be that if your table orders too many plates of sliced meat at once you may not receive some of the orders. Not a big deal as you can always order more at no additional cost as it’s AYCE.“

“Hot pot is often very hard to eat. Our vegetarian family often struggles to find food not contaminated with meat or fish. At Mala Town, we were very pleased to see how thoroughly the dishes and utensils were cleaned. Furthermore, the food options were vast, fresh and customizable. This place is perfect!“

“This is one of the best hotpot restaurants I've ever been too!!!

Chicken soup was incredible and extra spicy will melt your face!

We didn't order the buffet and choose to order individually. Food was well prepared and fresh. Fresh chicken was so tasty. Handmade beef ball, roe fish ball, kidney, bamboo fungus and shrimp paste were delectable!

If your a true hotpot or spice fan this is your place.

Really incredibly good.

Thank you for such a great experience.“

“Personally, I think this is the best hotpot place in this area. Its a small restaurant but it’s so cozy, the staff is so kind, and the food is delicious. My husband and I always start off with their Sliced Beef and OX Tongue in Chili Sauce ( it’s served cold but it’s so good!). We then get their hotpot ( you can definitely share one order with two people). Their spice level is no joke! - and it’s delicious. We also love their specialty drinks; they’re so refreshing and help cut the spice level from the hotpot.
The staff is so helpful and accommodating. We have baby, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure we are seated comfortably with our stroller by our side. It’s one of the few places that we have found easily fits a full stroller next to our table.
We’ve brought all our family and friends here because of how much we love this place.
The parking space is a little small, but there are plenty of neighboring parking spots that you can use.“
