Hot Pot Restaurants in Flushing, NY

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“Chongqing Lao Zao is a restaurant where you go not only for the delicious food but for the entire experience. You walk through the entrance and it is like stepping into a whole new universe that takes place in ancient China. The staff is friendly and seating is comfortable. So many food options and a beautiful sauce bar as well. Definitely recommend the dual pot. Beware of the amount of chilis in their spicy broth. Mild is shockingly spicy but we ended up separating the chili peppers from the broth after a bit and got the tomato broth to balance it out. A small thing but we also really enjoyed the little snacks they brought out in the beginning. Watermelon seeds and I think they were broad beans? Seasoned really well. Highly suggest either grabbing a reservation or joining the waitlist early here.

Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept.“

“tasty and great portions for ayce“

“Another hot pot place to try that has seasonal crawfish that is so fresh, you won’t regret ordering it. Crawfish are giant with fresh garlic flavoring. The soup base is out of this world and is a must try if you are in flushing. We got the tomato and pork bone and I’m telling you, some soup makes your mouth dry because of the high msg content but this one doesn’t. Everything was fresh and the staff were top notch. I know there a lot of hot pot in flushing and there are so many good ones out there but none can say they serve fresh crawfish and 12% off high school ID for students as a promotion. I will be honest, if it wasn’t for the crawfish and the discount, it would be harder to separate as there are many good hotpot spot but for now, this would be my go to spot until the promo is over.“

“Yummy selections. It may be understaffed but I like how they are working hard to serve alot of tables. Give them credit that they have serve a full house 1 hour after they opened at 12pm. One crazy elder woman tried force the door open and demanding it to be open.“

“Great authentic food. Really enjoyed it.“

I don’t know if we’d have the same taste but you should try it out! It’s so peaceful here. ^^“

“My girlfriend and I decided to try something new tonight, I’ve never had Hot Pot before and saw this place had 5 stars across the board so I obviously got curious and as soon as you walk in you see why. The customer service was amazing and that alone is why I would go back. I don’t remember her name but she was so helpfully showing us how things work, the menu etc. it definitely made us feel comfortable. And then on top of that the food is great, the broth is 🤤🤤🤤.
I’ll be turning!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Had lunch here yesterday and loved it so much I came back today. As a truck driver we are limited to food options on the road for obvious reasons but I’ve been parked in the area and had the opportunity to venture for food. They do not speak English here but the ordering screen makes it a bit easier to see what you like and order directly on the screen.“

“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.“

“This is not Deoksugung Palace, but has been changed to a raw fish restaurant. We went to Wassada Hoepocha for lunch, and the two of us ordered a large portion of assorted raw fish and ate a lot. If you go to other places, they serve a lot of sukidashi, but the sashimi is served in 4 pieces of each type on top of something like a stone, and they use dry ice to create an optical illusion, but here, the sukidashi is served simply, but the sashimi is really steamed and served in abundance. The salmon is eaten with red pepper paste and wasabi sauce, the tuna is wrapped in seaweed and dipped in oil sauce, and the flounder is eaten with ssam sauce, so it's really delicious. The sashimi was so plentiful and fresh that I thanked the chef and he really impressed me. The owner served me very kindly, so I enjoyed my meal. Oh, and after you finish eating all the raw fish, spicy spicy spicy stew is served in an earthen pot, so make sure to save some. There is a $20 difference between the medium size and the large size, so I ordered a large size to try to eat as much raw fish as I could, but I ended up getting so full that I ended up packing the rest. This is enough for two people to eat together. I think I will eat it generously. Sea Story was $200 for 4 people a few years ago, but it seems to have gone up now. This is a place where 4 people can fill their stomachs with sashimi for half the price. I highly recommend it to those who are serious about sukidashi.“
