Hot Pot Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“Super chill environment. We were staying in Chinatown for a few days and we came back here twice. It is super easy to order and I recommend trying out a variety of each. We fell in love with the king sausage and the chicken skewers. They are well flavored and seasoned, and the meats were not dry at all— something I typically worry with skewers. Definitely recommend as you can eat these as a light meal, snack, or big meal!“

“Most of the customers were Chinese. The menu does have the typical Chinese-American offerings, but also has some very authentic Cantonese offerings. Big on seafood. Had deep fried Japanese tofu with salt and pepper (fantastic), pork with crispy noodles, and seasonal Chinese vegetables (Ya Choy) or Chinese broccoli (not your run of the meal broccoli) in a garlic sauce, shrimp dumplings, and pork shu mai. It was plentiful and delicious. I asked my friend where we should eat outside of a Philadelphia Chinatown, she said China Gourmet. Highly recommend. Her dad was a chef in many Chinese restaurants as well as his own, so when she recommended, I knew that it was going to be good. Thank you Shirley Lee Wiley for the recommendation.“

“This might be one of the best ayce hot pot places I’ve been to!

You place your orders for meat via an iPad and all other foods (vegetables/fish balls/tofu etc) are self serve like a buffet. The meat comes out quickly and is good quality. The servers are very attentive and do a great job of taking away empty plates and replacing napkins. There are also some prepared foods, fruits, and desserts at the self serve station, as well as a full sauce bar. Drinks are located in the fridge (non alcoholic) and self serve, and are the classic Asian drinks like milk tea, aloe drink, and soy milk.

All tables have one large burner/one pot, so I wouldn’t recommend coming with a part of more than 4-5 people“

“A very affordable and nice hot pot/KBBQ experience in the northeast! It's well decorated, has great ambience and some of the ingredients are excellent quality. Some of the ingredients aren't as great though (I recommend staying away from the sausage and spam). The LA Galbi (bulgogi) and lamb were excellent though. Service was really nice, but I strongly recommend taking a picture of the ingredients you order before giving it to your server, they definitely missed a few items we put in. Overall, I had a great time and recommend this for experienced hot pot goers who want an affordable experience in the NE.“

“Delicious food, friendly service, quick turnaround time, and very fair prices.

The dine-in setup is very casual — there is table service but you order/pay at the counter & self-serve water. There is a lot of natural light inside, a good view of the sidewalk to people-watch, and the two folks running the restaurant while I was there (possibly the owners) were phenomenally gracious hosts. There is a cold case of to-go snacks and drinks. The rice balls are a must try!

Having tried the chicken galbi lunch box and the squid dolsot, I can enthusiastically recommend both, but the dolsot was truly the star of the show in my opinion. The combination of buttery squid, jammy egg, umami & spicy sauce, veggie mix, and that crispy caramelized rice at the bottom is just absolutely magical.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant.“

“Good food. Good customer service.“

“Excellent food! Nice clean environment. Friendly staff.“

“What a great restaurant! Highly recommended to friends who like Asian food! Attentive and professional service! Great tasting food! Very fresh ingredients! The guy who ordered for me was very polite, and when I told him that it was for three girls, he also suggested that I order less. The reason is that the portions of ingredients in their store are very generous, and I might not be able to eat the amount I ordered. It will be a waste and a waste of money. When it comes to this, I think this guy is very considerate of his customers and is very honest! This is very rare in the restaurant industry! In short, this is a very good store in all aspects, you deserve to go! ???“
