Hot Pot Restaurants near Providence, RI

“Delicious hot pot 😋! Server was nice and the meats and veggies are super fresh. The crab meat sticks and that bbq dipping sauce were so tasty. Will definitely be back soon. Everything is a la carte so you can definitely rack up a hefty bill depending on what you get FYI.“

“After an incredibly hot visit to the Roger Williams Park Zoo, I was craving something salty and satisfying on a spiritual level. With that in mind, there's nothing else I could imagine other than a hot bowl of ramen.

Located about 1.7 miles or a 7min drive away, I was excited. Upon pulling up to the front of the building, you can drive slightly further down SE and park in the small lot with several spots.

I actually don't remember anything about the interior to comment much. I was laser focused on getting food in my tummy.

We ordered;

Tan Tan Men ; a bowl of ramen with spicy pork miso broth. this absolutely hit the spot. it was deliciously salty and full of umami, and the toppings were just right, and I inhaled it in minutes

Fried Calamari ; another excellent dish. the calamari was nice and crispy and the meat was tender. couldn't have been done any better. the mango chili puree sauce was also very good and something I haven't had before

Tako Yaki ; I'm not sure if I need to say anything about this. it's about as yummy and expected of a properly-done tako yaki as you would expect

Karaage ; this one was actually pretty upsetting with how bad it was. the chicken seemed like it was very overcooked - the skin was hard and crunchy instead of crispy, the meat was not juicy, and honestly the portions of these chicken bites were pitiful. I even sent a snap to a friend and she felt bad for me. the flavor was also immensely salty. it came with spicy mayo (which was actually spicy! that never happens!) and a tonkatsu sauce, but honestly I was desperately in need of something sweet like ketchup or honey. Wife and I ate a total of 3 pieces.

Our waiter was very apologetic and asked multiple times if we wanted it re-done or if we wanted something else, but we were already pretty content by the time we could air our complaints. To my satisfaction, he removed the karaage from the bill.

Despite the miss, the customer service and the quality of the other foods makes it easy for me to still give the place full stars.“

“I was speechless with the flavor and how delicious this place is. This is my first time and first meal in Providence. It was memorable and authentic that i haven’t tried for so long. I definitely recommend trying anything on special menu especially the noodle soup.“

“Courteous staff, fast service and clean environment.“

“My experiences here at shabu shabu have been nothing but excellent! The food, the service, and the staff. This restaurant is the first recommendation I give anyone who loves food and great hospitality. I wish there was another 5 stars to fill hahaha!“
