Some things were really good, other things not so much.

This place became one of go-to my All-you-can-eat restaurants when I want to hangout with a group of friends!First of all, I was pretty surprised by their drinks/smoothies. Their drinks were not included in the all-you-can-eat hotpot price ($25 +tax). I highly recommend their "Mango smoothie", which was made with real mango and they put good amount of fruit to make the smoothie rich and flavorful & it has my favorite chewy lychee Jelly!Another highly recommended food item is "Blue live crab"! I can definitely tasted the crab meat was sweet & fresh. All their other ingredients were fresh (not frozen) as well, like shrimps, pig blood, lamb, pork, beef, fish tofu, veggies, etc.Last but not least, I also loved about how they maintained their "sauce bar" clean compared to other hotpot places in Chinatown. The overall cleanliness of this place was rated in my top range since they used dividers/curtain to separate the individual dining tables/group, as well as, they had single hotpot options to dine-in, which means that you can come by yourself to eat hotpot!

Fiancé and I came here since we were craving hot pot and the other place we had planned to visit was closed due to renovations. This place seemed to receive good reviews so we decided to try. Anyway, we were the only people eating in the restaurant so service was extremely quick. We ordered the spicy soup base and the usual shaved beef, pork, enoki mushrooms, lotus root, bean curd, fish balls with roe, glass noodles, lettuce, and oyster mushrooms, amongst other items. However, the only problem is the soup base had no flavor what so ever. I'm not sure if the person who prepared it put too much water to dilute it, but hot pot is usually high in sodium, so it should be flavorful. However, this was flavorless. It was spicy and our mouths burned due to the herbs in the broth, but that was it. Anyway, even though this was an all you can eat, we decided to finish what we had and just leave. The place was clean, service was good, the lady was attentive and tried to make us comfortable, but I'm not sure we will be visiting again. I might give it one more try to see off the broth was a mishap. Overall two stars.

Love it! Favorite hotpot restaurant in Philadelphia.

This will be the last time I come here after coming here a few times. Nobody can say that I didn't give this place chances. The restaurant is pretty dirty. I found a piece of souring pad in my water. The waiters and waitresses don't really do their jobs well. Food was okay for the price. Not a lot of options. There always running out of stuff.

Decent all you can eat shabu shabu place which is Chinese style. Lots of choices and a sauce bar similar to Little Sheep. Would definitely recommend!

Very good hotpot. Portions for veggies are big. The meat was very good! Order lots of meat

Overall a great dining experience especially during COVID. The sauce bar had individually packaged sauces that you can mix at your own table. For $25 per person for all you can eat is a pretty decent price! We got the two broths of Mala and bone broth and both broths were good! I would go back again and potentially try the various broth options

At the moment you enter this place the waiters give you a comfortable feeling. Very warm team, it is a kind place to enjoy with buddies or with your date. Great cuisine, qualified chef de cuisine, competitive cost and courteous service. Warmly recommended.
1. For $25 per person all you can eat, Hippot Shabu Shabu is pretty worth it. Lots of options to choose from and everything was brought over quickly. 2. Covid friendly, tables were seated pretty spread out with dividers! 3. Although there's a wide selection, quality is just average. Beef were thinly sliced and would break apart easily. Some of the items weren't fresh and tasted like it was in the freezer for a long time. Overall, decent option for large parties and a budget friendly option for hotpot!

Food was good. I got the pork broth which needed some more flavor. Most of the things we ordered were fresh except these dumplings that were frozen. We didnt order it but ate it anyways. Realized they might have replaced it with the fried tofu we ordered but did not get.

This restaurant is violating The Americans with Disabilities Act by blocking access to an accessible parking space, which is illegal incase you didn't know. You need to fix this immediately.

Good value place, it's a buffet. Place is somewhat dark inside. It was a good meal but I've been to better hot pots that had more tasty soup and menu options. Other places were higher priced so I think I got a fair meal for what they charged. I would go again if parking was easier.
