Hot Pot Restaurants near Renton, WA

“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“I've eaten here about 6 times and everything I've tried has been delicious. Usually I get soup - their Kao Pon is so tasty. The balance between the spiciness and the coconut milk and other flavors is amazing. Other highlights are the Pho and I usually share the Beef Sticks as an appetizer. The sauce that comes with them is so unique and spicy; they should bottle it! Comes with sticky rice. The staff are friendly and always create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Truly love this place!“

“Noah made our first experience here unbeatable. He explained everything well, lighthearted, and provided tons of entertainment. I really enjoyed his attitude and felt he brought the experience up a level. This is in addition to the good food and available options. Very delicious and great atmosphere as well, I was really impressed with the decoration. But Noah really stole the show. Cheers Noah!“

“I love hot pot and I really love Haidilao! Very attentive service and many options for all your needs whether it’s soup base options, spiciness, veggies, proteins and more. I’m very satisfied and will definitely come back. I’ve never ate hotpot alone always with larger groups but I was in the area and have been craving so I decided to stop by, I will say you definitely get a better “bang for your buck” when you dine in groups! I spent about $110 by myself before too, I ate a solid amount over about 1.5 hours and took some home! You could definitely get that price down ordering one of their lunch combos for 1 person but I wanted two soup bases because I was splurging. Not to mention all there amenities!! A nice fabric apron, I was even offered a phone stand so I didn’t have to use my cup to prop it up, complimentary ice cream, and also disposable toothbrush/paste and mouthwash in the bathroom. Like seriously how sweet and can it get any better? Having said all that I knew what I was getting into price wise, don’t expect a necessarily cheap lunch but it’s worth it to treat yourself every now and then and I am another happy customer of many!

I did also pay about $9 for parking! Not sure if there’s free parking I missed“

“*update: I went back to give Haidilao another try and I must say thank you Ray & William. You guys brought back the vibe that we are used to. We had a splendid time and the service was amazing like always. I want to thank Haidilao for reaching out to me personally to clarify any issues prior and I must say I'm a fan again. William did an outstanding service and we had a blast celebrating a bday there. Will definitely be coming back!!!! We love Haidilao 💜

Previous Rate: I've never been disappointed in Haidilao!! Tram our waiter made a huge mistake.
Usually you'd come to see the robots bring your food to your table but she grabbed our food and brought it straight and I asked if she can bring the food with the robot because that was the whole purpose to eat at Haidilao! So disappointed. Also Tram didn't ask us to hurry up but mid way through our meal she brought our receipt and we didnt stop ordering but never had the issue at the Seattle or bellevue location...... I am truly upset & disappointed“

“It was great quality food, the freshest meat for hot pot! Also the greatest soup based we ever have! The greatest tomato soup, chicken soup! No msg at all compared to other hot pot places! Great quality of the veggies bar as well! The best thing is soft serve after hot pot! Great cocktail and sake as well!!“

“Excellent service!!!! Great hot plates!!“

“Went here for Valentine's Day at 9 pm, about a 15-30 min wait, they gave my girl a rose when we sat down. There are SO many options for broth, meat, vegetables, tons of seafood and tofu options. It took us at least 15 mins to decide what we wanted. No cold desert options after 9 pm. Still gave us the free soft serve at the end though.
If it's your first time, highly recommend basic bone broth/spicy broth duo, pork and beef combo ring, cabbage, yam sticks, dumplings, udon noodles. For just broth n meat and no extras, expect to spend about $30-$40 total. All extras cost about $4.50-$12.
Highly recommend the fried rice cakes for desert.
For sauce bar, mix peanuts, peanut/sesame paste, a little chilli oil, a little oyster or hoisin sauce, green onions, cilantro, with a little soy sauce, (optionally add vinegar).
The servers don't check up on you too much after ordering unless it's to refill your broth. You can take everything leftover home, including broth for round 2 at home. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“Went here with some friends a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it, everything is at the buffet except the main meats so the vegan in our party had a great time. Also, little to not risk of food waste as you can get only as much as you want. Flushing is very cool and it was a great time“

“yes, i would like to recommend this place to my friend. Definitly come back.“

“I had a great experience here for hot pot! The prices are really reasonable, and the food was delicious. The service was okay, but it was a bit crowded since we went just before Christmas, so I understand. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“Nan Hot Pot is a fantastic spot for authentic Chinese hot pot, and it’s easily one of my go-to recommendations for anyone craving a hearty, flavorful dining experience. With a solid mix of quality ingredients, traditional flavors, and additional specialty dishes, this restaurant earns a strong 4 out of 5 stars.


The restaurant is clean, well-organized, and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere perfect for gathering with family and friends. Arriving early allowed us to be seated right away, which made for a smooth start to our meal.


Nan Hot Pot stands out for its dedication to authentic flavors, not only in its hot pot broth and dipping sauces but also in its selection of “Lu Wei” (滷味)—Chinese-style marinated and smoked meats. These dishes are prepared with care and deliver rich, traditional flavors that complement the hot pot experience perfectly.


The hot pot ingredients were fresh and satisfying, and the broth was well-seasoned without being overpowering. The addition of Lu Wei dishes added depth and variety to the meal, making it a more memorable experience than standard hot pot spots.


The staff was attentive and friendly, and because we arrived early, seating was immediate. Service throughout the meal was smooth, with staff checking in without being intrusive.


Prices are reasonable for the quality and authenticity of the dishes, and the portions are generous. The convenient location in a plaza with plenty of parking makes it even easier to recommend.

Final Verdict: Nan Hot Pot delivers a satisfying and authentic hot pot experience, enhanced by its standout Lu Wei dishes. With attentive service, easy parking, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is a great spot for hot pot lovers looking for a traditional yet comfortable dining experience.“

“This place was absolutely delicious! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly, attentive service that really set the tone for a great night. Even without a reservation, the staff went out of their way to get us seated quickly, which we really appreciated. The food? Even better than we expected! Most dishes we tried were full of flavor and clearly made with care—we ended up sampling quite a bit of the menu because everything looked so good, and honestly, nothing disappointed. It was one of those meals where you keep taking bites long after you’re full just because it’s that good. A special shout-out to the pineapple beer, which was a total surprise hit and is now a new favorite! It was the perfect balance of refreshing and unique—definitely something we’ll be coming back for. Overall, this spot made for such a fun and satisfying date night. We’re already planning our next visit (with a reservation this time!) and can’t wait to try even more. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and genuinely fantastic service!“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“Chicken broth low sodium is just so good. Some of their spicy options get too salty but the low sodium options are just right.

Mix with a base of pork, clams, and mushrooms and you got a delicious mix.

Please add green onions it's so odd that's not there at the sauce bar.“

“I’ve been coming here for a few times now. It is excellent every time. Lots of options for different types of noodle and toppings, along with so many vegetables. I like a lot of the soup options but my favorite is the dry sauce, super spicy but really good.“

“BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. You get delicious authentic hot pot plus a side of KBBQ. We chose the all-you-can-eat for about $30 a person.

The meat was fresh and they had incredible quality cuts. All you can eat hot pot, bbq, plus sauce, drinks, and ice cream.

Service was also great - they checked on us often and keep the restaurant very clean.“

“Absolutely loved this hot pot experience! 🍲 The broth was rich and flavorful, with plenty of options to choose from. All the ingredients were fresh—especially the meats, seafood, and vegetables—and everything cooked perfectly in the pot.
The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy and great for sharing a meal with friends or family.
If you’re a fan of hot pot or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This feels like a hidden gem? The food and service were good. We had complimentary hot tea, hard to enjoy on a warm day but welcomed. I ordered the garlic eggplant, water boiled fish, and one of the lamb dish that had onions. Everything came out so delicious and as I expected from previous sichuanese restaurant experiences. The food is served family style on a large plate with one serving spoon. It can be difficult to eat the food with chopsticks as it gets oily real quick but they provide a spoon upon request. I would love to come back as often as possible if I were closer. It's also pretty affordable for the amount of food received.“

“Very good food , hoping that the waiting time at dinner is less because when we try to eat last night the waiting time is 2hrs ,so we left and come back next day at after lunch like 1pm and the waiting is better and took us less than 30mins.“

“Pretty decent malatang with bold, spicy flavors. You build your own bowl from a variety of raw ingredients and pay by the pound. Great vegan options with plenty of fresh veggies, mushrooms and tofu to choose from. It’s very easy to overfill your bowl 😋 The “dry mixed” style options without soup tastes better to me.“

“I love boiling point. But after the last couple visits I’ve noticed that the portion sizes have significantly decreased. ALSO how could you take away the ”I ❤️ BP” fish cake and replace it with tiny pink fish cake pieces. I always have the best service and time with ALVIN and neck tattoo guy. Give them a raise.“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

“Very beautiful and fun experience with a vast selection and large portions.“
