Hot Pot Restaurants near Hackensack, NJ

“Our server Ana was very attentive, sweet, and welcoming! Whenever we would need help/assistance, she and other staff would come right away or even without us asking! The restaurant also has many options and our family had a very enjoyable experience here, definitely will come back!“

“Everything is good“

“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! 🥘✨🤍“

“I have been to many hot pot places and this is the very best I have ever been to. It’s one of my favorite restaurants period. The food is always super fresh and delicious, the staff is super amazing, and the ambience is spot on for a fun and relaxing dining experience. To top it all off, I have food sensitivities (gluten free, in particular), but I have never had any issues here. I always get the mushroom soup base. It is soooooo flavorful. I don’t live close, but always try to find excuses to go to American Dream Mall just to dine here!“

“Amazing hot pot - they’re doing a tomato special theme rn. And this new location (I personally think this is way better than the previous one)

Small plates are good and fresh, more options on the menu, and highly recommend the 蝦滑！“

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“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 😋😋😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“My absolute favorite place!“

“First time here yesterday and the food is great! I love all the selections and there’s great vegetarian options. Their egg fried rice was super fluffy and soft, worth the try! I got about 1.5 lbs of dry pot at 0.5 spicy and it was too spicy for me. I also think the saltiness can be reduced. Service was quick and restaurant is clean.
Would definitely come back to try other items.
Only three parking spots available.“

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

“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! 🍲🔥“

“food, place and friendly staff“

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

“The best one“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😛.“

“As someone who works in the fashion industry, I love coming to Wano NYC because it has the perfect mix of ambiance and beautiful aesthetics. It’s one of those places that feels effortlessly stylish while still being comfortable and welcoming. The food is always fresh, comes out quickly, and the staff is consistently kind and attentive. Definitely a spot I enjoy coming back to!“

“蕎麦打ちがいい感じ！“

“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!“

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