Hot Pot Restaurants in Flushing, NY

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“My God… Chongqing Lao Zao might be the best Chinese hot pot I’ve ever had. And if you’ve seen my other reviews, you know I’ve eaten at A LOT of hot pot places. 😂 This one seriously impressed me.

The entrance is actually pretty small and very easy to miss, but once you walk through that door… WOW. It feels like you just stepped into a Chinese palace. The decorations, the details, the atmosphere—everything is beautiful. Before we even started eating, I was already walking around looking at everything.

Then there’s the service. Next level. The servers were so attentive that they basically wouldn’t let us lift a finger. 😂 Plates cleared, broth checked, food taken care of—they were always there without making us feel rushed. That kind of service really changes the whole experience.

And of course, the hot pot itself was incredible. Rich, authentic flavors and exactly what I want when I’m craving real Chinese hot pot. Great food is one thing, but when you combine it with this atmosphere and this level of service, it becomes an experience.

I review a lot of hot pot restaurants and usually can find at least one thing I would change. This time, I really can’t.

Small door outside, palace inside. 👏🔥🍲 Easy 5 stars. One of my new favorite hot pot experiences, period.“

“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!“

“Nice little place with a unique coconut soup base twist on hotpot. Fun place with friends, and they stay open overnight, so it's a good spot to come after leaving some bars that close early. Service is attentive, food is great, but dineresque banquette seating a bit uncomfortable.“

“Great authentic food. Really enjoyed it.“

“It’s too far and lonely in the area by the time we got here BUT!!!!! Really loved the vibe here and the food are soooooooooooo good! And the drinks are good too I mean I know how to enjoy the sojus hahaha. Really recommend this place, it’s a hidden gem for me! ✨
I don’t know if we’d have the same taste but you should try it out! It’s so peaceful here. ^^“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Zaomen Qian in Flushing and was surprised by how affordable it is — many skewers are only $0.30 each and there’s a big variety to choose from.

They also have a promotion where you get a free diaolong beef if you spend $100. Besides skewers, you can also order dishes à la carte. I tried the oysters, fatty beef, and scallops, and everything tasted fresh.

Overall a good spot for skewers with lots of options and very reasonable prices.“

“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“

“No frills and straight forward
We come here to enjoy hwe and it's exactly what we get. Fresh hwe everytime. The owner will throw in some free rolls here and there and it’s much appreciated.

I would be very sad if this place closed down.“

“I was craving mala xiang guo and this hit the spot. Located right of main street, this fast casual restaurant is your classic malatang spot. You fill up your bowl with the ingredients you want, weigh it, and once they cook it and it's ready, you just pick it up from the counter!

They have a variety of veggies, fish tofus, and meats for you to add to your malatang. I would say that their selection is a bit smaller than I'm used to, and a lot of their meats were already marinated (which I don't like). But, their veggie selection was good and fresh. I got their spicy mala xiang guo, and it came with a side of rice. It was good, but I felt like it wasn't spicy enough so I went to go make my own sauce. I wish there was just a bit more seasoning sauce in their mala xiang guo. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it.“

“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.“

“Authentic and satisfying Dongbei comfort food! The dumplings were juicy and handmade, the skewers were full of flavor with a great variety (lamb, tofu skin, tripe — all seasoned with classic cumin and chili), and the sour cabbage pork hotpot was warm and comforting. We also loved the cold noodles with cucumber and kimchi, plus tasty sides like stir-fried napa cabbage and grilled garlic chives. Everything tasted just like a hearty homemade meal from my home city“
