About Kungfu Hotpot

Kungfu Hotpot provides a great dining experience with a wide variety of options to try. The food is delicious, and the waiters are attentive, doing a good job of taking away empty plates and replacing napkins. Guests can order meat via an iPad, while vegetables, fish balls, tofu, and other foods are self-serve like a buffet. The meats come out quickly and are of good quality, including premium options like wagyu, prawns, and lamb. The all-you-can-eat option is priced accordingly and offers high-quality meats and fresh vegetables, making it worth the cost. There are prepared foods, fruits, desserts at the self-serve station, and a full sauce bar. Drinks, including classic Asian beverages like milk tea, aloe drink, and soy milk, are available in the fridge and are self-serve. All tables have one large burner or one pot, so small groups of 4-5 people are ideal.

While the restaurant has a fun atmosphere with fresh veggies and delicious meats, some improvements could be made, such as using different color plates for raw meat and seafood to avoid confusion, and providing utensils for meats to be put into the broth. The place can have a strong smell of seafood in the elevator, which might be off-putting, but the restaurant itself is very good. It’s a fantastic place with amazing food and is highly recommended, especially for those who enjoy hotpot. Although not the best hot pot ever tried, it is definitely one of the better ones in Philly. The food at the meat bar is fresh, and even the lobster from the special weekend menu was delicious despite being slightly older than expected. The all-you-can-eat experience costs about $50 per person and is suitable for most, but those with allergies or dietary restrictions should be cautious, as ingredients are cooked in the same pot with few options for separate preparation. It’s a kid-friendly place with a large pot of boiling broth in the middle of the table, though it can be messy with children. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but some areas like the salad bar may not be very convenient for wheelchairs. Overall, it’s a place worth trying for a satisfying and fun hotpot meal.
