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!“

“Amazing hotpot experience at Qiao Lin! The spicy Sichuan broth was perfectly balanced and flavorful. Fresh, high quality ingredients and paper thin meat slices. Attentive service and great atmosphere. Reasonable prices for excellent quality. Already planning our next visit! HIGHLY recommend for authentic hotpot lovers!“

“Amanda is amazing!
She totally rocks — the best service ever! We stopped by tonight after a long day at work, just looking for some hot soup on this rainy day, and she made our visit so wonderful. Couldn’t imagine a more professional and caring service — she went above and beyond for us! So happy we came by. 💛will be back!“

“As vegetarians, my wife and I usually struggle to find good options for hot pot, but this place was a pleasant surprise! They offer several vegetarian-friendly broths, and the Mala and Tom Yum (without shrimp) were our favorites. The variety of fresh ingredients and dipping sauces ensures there’s something to suit everyone’s taste. Highly recommend for vegetarian hot pot lovers!“

“We scanned the QR code and ordered from our phone. Not a fan of putting wait staff out of jobs. The staff there was attentive and came by to answer questions. A way to sort dishes by spice level would have been helpful cause that was a filter for us but when we asked they said they could make it any spice level we wanted in the comments. They did have a sort for their. OST popular dishes which was helpful “not to miss” category which the staff pointed us to. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom I visited was clean except there was urine on the floor from someone with poor aim recently (we got there when they opened). We had the beef and green beans, cumin pork and chicken fried rice. The cumin pork has great flavor and was my favorite however the pork was in small bone pieces and fatty so you had to be careful and have strong teeth (to tear) to eat the dish IMHO. It was well done, dry and definitely crunchy. It would have been good to have a sauce to get more moisture in the dish. I found it best to use my fingers to eat the pork. The beans and beef was perfectly cooked and beef strips and very tender - not fatty. There was a sauce in the dish but it didn’t have that much flavor but when mixed with the rice and pork helped to moisturize the drier dishes. The chicken fried rice was average and didn’t have much special flavor. We were looking for dishes that weren’t too spicy and we got that so my review reflects our desire to keep the heat low. Service was very fast and attentive, but wasn’t too busy either. Overall a pleasant experience and I felt good value cause we ordered 3 dishes, left full and with some leftovers. I would visit again.“

“This Shabu Shabu House is by far the best Shabu Shabu House in the entire Seattle metropolitan area. I know, I’ve been to all of them. I first fell in love with shabu shabu when I was in Asia, and this place doesn’t disappoint. I’m very picky. The meat quality is excellent, the buffet of raw vegetables and additional items is very full and varied, they have all the sauces, spices and flavorings you could want. The place is very well lit and clean, which is important to me because I’ve been places before that are dark you just can’t see whether or not the place is really clean. And on top of that, the air is fresh. I’ve been to hot pot restaurants before where there’s so much steam in the air that you get the smell of garlic and herbs and meat throughout your clothes and hair and you walk out and you stink. This place has solved that and you don’t experience that at all. Also, the owner here is clearly a details and quality guy and very professional. I’ve spoken to him and he was extremely friendly and proud of his restaurant. You can tell that he pays attention to quality in his choices. The soft serve is complementary, but it’s the highest quality soft serve I’ve had. It’s rich and creamy like ice cream not icy like every other complementary soft serve at every other place. All in all I highly recommend this restaurant and I wouldn’t go to any other shabu shabu place. I drive 40 minutes to get here and it’s worth it.“

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

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

“Little Sheep has always been good, but the new menu makes it even better. The broth options are richer, the meat and veggies are super fresh, and there are more choices than before. Staff are attentive and the atmosphere is cozy. A perfect place for hotpot with friends. Highly recommend checking out the updated menu!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very clean and nice seating area although it can get a bit cramped. There’s a good variety of ingredients available and their broths are delicious! I love that they offer a low sodium option for all the broths. Highly recommend the “just a little kick” and “picked veggies” broth flavor. This is my new favorite place for a quick and warm soupy meal!“

“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.“

“Came here on a last-minute whim when my (raised in Taiwan) parents were visiting and requested Taiwanese food on a weekday evening. The restaurant was completely empty, but the staff was super friendly and helpful, the food came out fast, and the taste was super nostalgic. I'll definitely be back.“

“Went Monday at 2 PM. No line not busy. I like how you can make your own sauce to go with your meal. You pick your food put it in the bowl, then you pay for it and pick whatever soup base.

I will definitely come here again.“

“It was definitely an experience since you get to eat both HOTPOT&KBBQ! You really do get the best of both world!
Service was amazing, especially Shelly , super kind and knowledgeable and walked us through the whole menu. definitely will be back again !“

“We visited for an early Saturday dinner and were warmly welcomed by a waiter who thoughtfully walked us through the menu and the sauce bar. Soft drinks were included, which was a nice touch. While the meat selection wasn’t extensive, it was more than sufficient—and impressively high in quality given the price point. A variety of ready-to-eat dishes and appetizers were also available, each offering satisfying flavors. We specifically enjoyed the chicken wings. Overall, it was a delightful evening, and we’re already looking forward to returning.“

“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.“

“Great food. Great service. Highly recommended.“

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

“Boiling Point Bellevue has become our weekly tradition, and for good reason! The food is always flavorful and consistent, but what truly sets this location apart is the incredible service. Every visit, the team goes above and beyond—they take such great care of us and make us feel genuinely welcomed. We love this crew so much. Highly recommended!“
