You'll notice both the thoughtful service and diverse selections. I doubt any restaurant offers better attention. Their food tastes fresh and flavorful. Everything works well here. Part of me wishes this spot stayed quiet.

Their food makes you appreciate good ingredients. The service people were excellent and everyone offered assistance! The taste profiles here are inventive. The drinks made an impression and the food complemented them well. Hou Yi Hot Pot should be your next dining destination.

Positioned perfectly with servers who pay attention to what you need. The place provides comfortable seating throughout. Employees demonstrated flexibility with a pleasant attitude. The kitchen maintains perfect quality control. Generally speaking, service was solid and I plan to return.

Amazingly good restaurant.
Don’t be fooled by the plain-looking exterior — inside, it’s incredibly clean and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious — easily the best hotpot I’ve had at manhattan. Everything was fresh and flavorful.
The owner (the lady who served us) was so kind and warm, truly made us feel at home.

My visit was characterized by quality. This restaurant has a great location and warm atmosphere. Their food makes dining worthwhile. When we first stepped in, a friendly worker welcomed us. I look forward to my next visit to try new dishes.

Best all you can eat hot pot in Chinatown. Sliced meats are sliced on premise daily, great vegetable and noodle selections, sauces are plentiful to suit the different taste buds of various regional Chinese customers including the newbs. They even give you recipes for popular sauce mixes you can try if you're clueless. Unlimited ice cream and drinks too!

Hou Yi Hot Pot operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so reservations aren't accepted, and there's often a wait. That said, this is a fantastic hot pot spot! The soup bases are exceptional--I tried the spicy pickled cabbage beef (HOT), and it lived up to its name. It's incredibly spicy and absolutely delicious, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you can handle serious heat.
You can choose between a large shared pot or individual pots, and the menu features a wide variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, and drinks. The sauce station offers plenty of options to customize your flavors, and I appreciated the self-serve selection of soft drinks straight from the fridge. They also have a nice touch with ice cream options, including cups and cones, to cool down after your meal.
All things considered, it offers excellent value. The only downside was feeling a bit rushed due to the crowd waiting for tables, but overall, it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back!

I wish I could leave 0 stars. The staff was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. The way they close out their tables is absolutely unprofessional. They practically force you to tip after rushing you to eat. I’ve never experienced anything like it and don’t plan on returning .

The food was great…but that was it. The customer service sucked. It started out great but my table was RUDELY rushed by the staff to leave and then FORCED TO TIP. Granted there are timed dining options, however the table near us that came in around the same time did not receive the same treatment. When we got the bill and decided to leave tip section blank due to the rushing and harsh attitudes, the lady handed it back to us . We ended up tipping her much more than deserved and she looked at our money with disgust. WILL NOT BE RETURNING. NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS!!
