Hot Pot Restaurants near Fort Lee, NJ

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“Parking comps for upstairs for 3hrs. The sauce bar is good, the snacks are interesting and the pots can be 1,2, or 3 styles of soup base. Good pricing and only issue is seating is for 4 or 6; one table of 8 available. So big parties may need to split up a bit. Definitely a fan of the snacks, good service, and they gave a little toy to the kids, too!

Broth has gotten better in 2026, but service a bit less and they are less busy. They had to add an all-you-can-eat option on M-Thu (Fri before 5p) and while that is good, overall they are struggling a bit to keep the same foot traffic as before. A bit of a bummer as they do have a good selection and are convenient.“

“This place is sooo good, by far the best malatang place in the area. It is new, clean, spacious, and the ingredients are super fresh. The service is very attentive - unlike other malatang places, they even cut up your vegetables for you! Highly recommend. Will be coming back on a regular basis.“

“Came here to order takeout and it was empty when we arrived.

The whole restaurant was very clean and spacious and felt very hygienic for a Chinese restaurant.

Staff were kind and helpful as well. Recommended if you’re looking for Malatang or wok food 😛.“

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“Such a unique atmosphere - you feel like you’re transported to a wee traditional chinese village. The soup base is one of the best mala soup base out there. The meat selection is premium, would recommend the milky beef and streaky pork, black tofu, lotus root. Amazing, attentive servers. Absolute favourite place to be when in town. Can be abit of a wait but totally worth it“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Not even exaggerating: this was one of my favorite dining experiences to date! Had a surprise birthday party for a friend in one of the private back rooms, and the staff was so accomodating, helpful, and friendly. Our waiter, Chris, was especially awesome: he was super sociable and patient with any questions we had about the food, the hotpot process, and splitting the check. The energy of this place was so warm and inviting- anyone looking to host a night out with friends: rest assured, you will have a great time and memorable experience here. I haven't even started talking about the food.

The wagyu beef is absolutely worth the cost. There are more affordable items on the menu and they are also yummy but guess what? Everything felt priced so accordingly that it is 100% worth spending that extra money on those special menu items. The thin wagyu melts so perfectly into the delicious broths, the thought of it will keep me up at night. Treat yourself and get that meat!!

And my god. The broths. Holy cow. I got the spicy broth, and it was the perfect level of heat* that, combined with the huge selection of sauces, made the proteins and noodles DIVINE... THE RICE CAKES TOO omg.. The tofu, fish balls, and mushrooms were all also really well sourced, just really premium products priced very modestly for how quality they all were. *note: be ready for the peppers that have the slightly numbing/tingling effect- not on a Szechuan level, but a nice and perfect build that makes each ingredient have a beautiful taste profile.

We had the table with personal pots/induction stoves, so all the proteins/veggies we shared, but we would also pass along samples of the other broths to each other, and I wish I had ordered my own bowl of the seasonal vietnamese pho broth too because the one small bowl I sampled was heavenly.

I will definitely be back again to try the drinks, they looked fantastic and the ambience of the bar felt so nice.

Also, just realized I was too engulfed by the good food and fun with friends that I forgot to take pics. It was that good man“

“Everything is good“

“Absolutely fantastic. The whole place is a vibe. The decor is great. The crowd is great. The food, omg..... amazing. Just simply amazing. Probably the best hot pot experience I have ever had. Everything was delicious. Runs on the spicy side, and I do not say that lightly as I love spicy food. So, if you like medium spicy, get the mild, LOL.

The broth was fantastic, so so flavorful. The sauce station had everything. The meats were so good, amazing quality. The enochi mushrooms were absolutely divine. And the noodles were off the hook.

This place is a must stop by if you like Hot Pot and are in NYC.“

“We were so fortunate to have such a wonderful server assist us Chad. His attentiveness throughout the meal was truly remarkable. They offered excellent recommendations with a genuine smile. Every request was handled promptly and with great care. It's clear they take pride in providing exceptional service. We truly appreciated their positive and welcoming demeanor. Our experience was elevated significantly thanks to their efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment based on their outstanding hospitality.“

“This authentic and yet upscale hotpot restaurant is fabulous, worth to visit again ( in which, I am returning AGAIN today with a party of 6!) Highly recommend Dolar Shop Manhattan to anyone who loves hot pot because of the following: -Excellent friendly service ( special thanks to Jason's exceptionally wonderful, attentive service, as well as the incredible professional manager Charles ) - Flavorful broth - large variety of food to choose from - high quality meat choice ( fine wagyu beef , USDA PRIME boneless short ribs, as well as fresh seafood ) Fresh and crisp veggies - clean environment“

“The service was excellent; every staff member was warm, attentive, and responsive, making for a very pleasant dining experience. The ingredients were incredibly fresh—both the meat and vegetables were of high quality—and the meal was truly satisfying. The sauce station was spotless, and the overall environment was clean and comfortable. Whenever I crave hot pot, Jingmen is my go-to spot—highly recommended!“

“Randomly decided to dine here before a show at Webster Hall. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. Teppen gyoza, kimchi beef fried rice, dynamite roll, and mango martini. Definitely plan on returning.“

“There’s something incredibly comforting and nourishing about a good coconut chicken hotpot, and Coco Hotpot 皇椰鸡 delivers that experience beautifully. We ordered the Coconut Chicken Set for 2, which came with a half portion of fresh cage-free chicken, your choice of noodles or rice of your choice, and a vegetable platter filled with corn, winter melon, napa cabbage, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms all slowly cooked in fresh coconut water. The portion was honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend satisfying, balanced, and filling without feeling overly heavy. If you want more, they also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your hotpot further.

What makes this style of hotpot so unique is its history and philosophy. Coconut chicken hotpot originates from Hainan cuisine, where food is known for emphasizing freshness, clean flavors, and natural ingredients rather than relying heavily on oil or intense spice. Unlike traditional hotpots that focus on rich broths or chili oils, Hainan-style coconut chicken soup highlights the sweetness of fresh coconut water paired with high-quality chicken. Coconut water naturally contains subtle sweetness and minerals, which creates a lighter and healthier broth that still feels deeply flavorful and comforting.

The experience itself felt very thoughtful and authentic. The server prepares everything tableside for you, which made the meal feel even more special. They first pour the fresh coconut water into the pot and bring it to a gentle boil before adding the chicken. As the chicken cooks, they carefully skim away the scum from the top to keep the broth crystal clear and clean tasting a traditional cooking technique that helps preserve the purity and delicate flavor of the soup.

The chicken turned out incredibly tender, juicy, and naturally flavorful from simmering in the coconut broth. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Once we added the vegetables, the soup became even better. The corn released extra sweetness into the broth, the napa cabbage softened and added depth, winter melon gave the soup a refreshing and cooling quality, while the enoki mushrooms brought a subtle earthy umami flavor. By the end, the broth develops into this naturally sweet, savory, and aromatic soup that tastes so comforting yet surprisingly light and healthy.

We chose udon noodles instead of rice, and it was absolutely the right choice. The thick chewy noodles soaked up all that flavorful coconut chicken broth beautifully. Every bite felt warm, silky, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.

They also have a sauce bar available if you want to customize your dipping sauces, though it does come at an additional charge. Personally, the broth itself was already so flavorful that it barely even needed sauce, but it’s a nice option if you enjoy mixing garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili, or sesame-based dips with your hotpot.

This meal leaves you feeling nourished rather than overly full. Refreshing, healthy, authentic, and genuinely delicious. I also love that their menu offers many other traditional soups and coconut-based hotpots to explore, which makes me excited to come back and try more next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting if you enjoy clean flavors, comforting soups, and high-quality ingredients.“

“We finally tried the hot pot here, and it was honestly such a great experience! The broth was absolutely AMAZING so rich, flavorful, and comforting. Every single ingredient tasted fresh, from the thinly sliced meats to the veggies, dumplings, noodles, and skewers. Everything was sooo good! 🤤

The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The restaurant has such a fun, cozy vibe, making it the perfect spot for a family dinner or a meal with friends.

One thing that really stood out to me was that they have a separate prayer area, which was such a thoughtful touch and made our visit even more comfortable. It’s always appreciated when restaurants consider the needs of their guests like that.

Amazing food, incredible broth, excellent service, great vibes, and a prayer space it really checked all the boxes for us. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! 🥘✨🤍“

“Our daughter took us here while we were visiting NY for her graduation for Wagyu Shabu. I normally don't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one.
For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu.
The place is clean and nice.
For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced.
We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it.
Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things.
The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it.
The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow.
The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty.
The vegetables are fresh and clean.
After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy.
I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like.
This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy.
So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“My absolute favorite place!“

“If you're craving hot pot in the LIC area, this is a solid choice. Price obviously depends how much you get; dining as a party of 4, we spent around $50pp. Everything can be requested or ordered via the iPad (including a call service button), so there's limited direct contact with staff. I like how they provide bags for jackets to make sure not ALL of your possessions come out of the restaurant smelling like hotpot.

While it makes sense to have a big table to hold all of our ingredients, I felt the distance from one end to the table to the other was large! We had to raise our voices to talk to each other.

The sauce bar has the essentials as well as 2 side dishes (altho I don't remember what they were, I didn't end up getting them) and orange slices (we ate those at the end of the meal).

There is only one bathroom for the entire restaurant, so there was a bit of a line when I had to go.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.“

“Great authentic food. Really enjoyed it.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Amazing food,amazing service,the owner and employees are super nice and helpful and very kind, this was our first time, me and my kids, we just love it 😍 definitely will be one of our favor spots 💖I really recommend it to everyone 😋😋😋“

“Malamini is my go-to comfort food spot near home. Whenever I don’t know what to eat, I end up getting their malatang. The sesame sauce is especially good and really makes the bowl. Their ice cream is also surprisingly great. Simple, satisfying, and always hits the spot.“

“Amazing Korean buffet-style shabu shabu! The veggie and side selections are extensive with tons of fresh options, and the meat choices are plentiful and high quality. Portions are very generous, the staff is super welcoming, and the prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving shabu shabu, it’s very close to the experience of eating it in South Korea. Will definitely be back! 🍲🔥“

“The best one“

“It was an amazing Shabushabu experience, we got The Premium Course ($178 per person), where the meal was mostly served with A5 Miyazaki Wagyu.

Attentive service where the staff explained which sauce to pair with the meat. I never thought you could dip your meat into different combinations of sauces. The best pairing was the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu with Karajiru and Nori paste.

Overall, a very cozy and delicious meal.“

“Lunch special sets start daily at 11 am. I like the boiled fish set meal and the spicy hot pot set meal. Each lunch special also includes 10 extra skewers of your choice of grilled meats and a complimentary bottle of soft drink, cola, chrysanthemum tea, and hawthorn juice. Available in mild, medium, and spicy flavors. You can also choose the daily self-service meal mode. I haven't planned to try the grilled fish yet. Mala Tang is much better than Yang Guofu and Zhang Liang's. The key to delicious mala tang lies in its seasoning techniques.“

“Variety of choices and specialty soup base with ingridients in large portion. Loved the fried lotus pancake and fried pork. The sidedish bar is charged by head count as $3 per person, its reasonable with many great choices and meat cold dishes included as well. Recommend the Orange lemon tea drink to eat along with pots as the soup gets saltier with adding the soup in. Would definitely go back to try other dishes and soup base. One thing to improve is the cups and dishes, saw dusts inside the cup which might from the fan ventilation above the table. I like how their music isnt super loud.“

“我想問如果要坐輪椅。有沒有升降電梯的“

“I ordered the mala dry pot, and it was absolutely delicious! The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning was flavorful without being overly salty, and the spice level was perfect. I especially loved the variety of vegetables, mushrooms, and toppings. The portion was generous, and everything tasted fresh. Great service and a cozy atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back for another bowl!“

“Excellent food everything is fresh and there is very big variety, service is great and pricing is very cheap compared for what you get.“

“Wahhh this is a great deal!!
Despite being an AYCE + multiple buffet bars where you can refill ingredients, the service is top notch here. The staff is so nice and dropped by so often to checkup on us. we ordered a ton of meat in the beginning so we actually didn’t need much more refill throughout, but they came by like every 15 minutes to our table. really stellar service.“

“Great food,great atmosphere As same industry we are take them as role models“

“Very nice 1st time experience very good selection for all you can eat hot pot . All the staff was super helpful and kind .Highly recommend this restaurant if your a local or visitor“

“蕎麦打ちがいい感じ！“

“Amazing food and brilliant service“

“They take their last order at 2.45pm and we were there at 3pm. Very hungry and very very late as we had to rush to catch our flight from New Jersey. We requested and they were very sweet to accommodate my daughter and me -two hungry souls.
They not only went out of the way to feed us beyond their kitchen timings, but offered us a very unique dish - octopus with wasabi! An amazing new addition to my Japanese favourites. While waiting for the main course, the sushi chef presented a beautiful show with a variety of amazing sushi rolls. They were amazing. The main course was served hot and fresh which we could only finish a portion of due to time constraints and they got the rest of it packed for us to enjoy on the way to the airport. All that care, love and amazing food was topped by a sushi platter packed for us - on the house, complimentary from their side.
Truly speaking the last meal in NY couldn’t be more special!
Thankyou team WANO for this!
Gratitude! Love from India ❤️“

“They have three dish one soup, the cheapest price is only 6 usd but they sold out 3 pm . Mostly people who work around here will come buy lunch that’s why sold out fast, bento sell 10 am-2:30 pm; others sell 10 am-9 pm. If you worry about cross contamination this is not the place to go because they do use the same spoon to scoop vegetable dish and meat dishes Updated from previous review on 2026-08-04“

“so delicious. got it delivered and arrived hot. got pork belly with mushroom, wagyu, short ribs, lamb pork beef, taiwanese sausages. everything was top notch THE ENTIRE WORLD NEEDS TO TRY TAIWANESE SAUSAGE OVER COAL.“

“We haven’t been in four years. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the food remains and how refreshed the restaurant look after the renovation from 2 yrs ago. The restaurant looks brighter, lighter and just more fun. The night we came for dinner, the clientele seemed younger and again more fun. That said, the star of the night remains the food. The beef in our sukiyaki was soft, and super yummy. The veggies were complimentary and rounded out the flavors of our dish. We ordered extra prime beef, and veggies and noodles. We also order more beer and sake. We totally enjoyed our evening. If you have never been or haven’t been in a while come again or come back and give it another try. You won’t be disappointed and we highly recommend.“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“

“Food was on point! Best I've ever had any where I've gone. Will be making this a must stop, every year when we visit!“

“Susan was such a welcoming and kind person to meet during our day in flushing. She treated me and my friend like we were family, and was incredibly knowledgeable about tea and the cultures surrounding it. While my friend spoke with her in Chinese, she would happily switch to English so I could fully understand what she was teaching, which truly made me feel appreciated. I wish I could give 10 stars, please support her business.“

“⭐️Food was good and freshly prepared,and cozy restaurant. we will come back again 🔜100% 🇺🇸The best resturant in Queen👍“

“Ughhh love this place soooo muchh!!!! It was my first time and everything was so perfect. Genuinely wondering why this place is not busy as much everything I tasted sent me back to the memories of Nepal. Everythings so perfect and I feel like price is cheap too. The server is sooo nice. Shes Ale Magar she stated shes so wonderful. Keep her forverrrr!!!“

“The food was fresh and delicious. The staff are very professional and this place is also kid friendly. It gets super busy and crowded so go early if possible. I definitely recommend and will be coming back.“

“If you want to recharge your energy, this is a must-visit, one-of-a-kind wellness food spot in Palisades Park, NJ.

With chicken so tenderly slow-cooked that the meat just falls off the bone, the combination with the rich, deep broth is pure art.
Aside from the classic chicken Baeksuk, the lineup including duck, neungi mushroom, lacquer, abalone, and Haesintang is incredibly impressive. Depending on your preference, it was great to be able to choose between the deep 'herbal broth' or the savory, chewy 'nurungji porridge.'

The variety of side dishes isn't huge, but the sweet and sour pickled vegetables served with it make an amazing combo with the Baeksuk.

On top of that, with the complimentary pancake that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, it is a generous spread that will instantly bring back your lost appetite.

The portion is so huge at about 3 to 4 servings, the more people you go with, the better the value.
I highly recommend it for bringing your parents or as a group gathering spot for friends.

Because Baeksuk dishes require a long cooking time, a phone reservation at least 90 minutes in advance is an absolute must! If you just walk in, you might not be able to get a table, so make a reservation before you visit!“

“great dumplings with a atmosphere to match!“
