Hot Pot Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

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

“One of the better hot pot spots in the city!
I’ve tried probably 10+ hot pot restaurants from Lynwood to Federal way and everywhere in between, this is one of the best spots

The veggie selection is one of the best, the meat tasted high quality, and the broth was flavorful

The service and cleanliness were also much better than I’ve experienced elsewhere“

“I just have to say—Haidilao’s service is already legendary, but you, miss, took it to a whole new level. Your smile lit up the whole table, your attentiveness made us feel like VIPs, and you anticipated our needs before we even spoke. From the perfectly timed broth refills to the little towel swaps and that warm, genuine care—you made our meal unforgettable. And yes, you’re absolutely gorgeous, but it’s your kindness and energy that truly stole the show. Thank you for making hotpot feel like a hug. You’re a star!“

“My one and only hotpot place to go at Seattle. The food was fresh, flavorful, and there was a great variety of ingredients to choose from. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. The service Emma was so nice and professional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal! Definitely a great spot for hot pot with friends or family.“

“I've heard rumors that the UW YGF is the best YGF in the area. I don't know if that's true, because Bellevue YGF tastes equally good to me. It was delicious! Line moves slow and steady, and although it looks a bit busy, seems no one had issue finding a table because traffic moves in and out pretty constantly.

Note that there is very little service here. I had to clear the previous customer's used dishes and napkins away myself.“

“Pretty solid for it’s price as an AYCE hot pot place. Lamb and beef slices are very thin which is pretty good. They do not have enough vege options- dabaicai, tonghao, and broccoli were the only green leafy vegetables available when we were there. Appetizers wise the fries chicken wings are surprisingly good tho.“

“awesome food. filled to the brim, worth the drive from Kent! the service was attentive and kind. food got out quick and when they say it's spicy. boy do they mean it! 5/5!“

“xi an noodles was my favorite food“

“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.“

“Qingshu Hot Pot is a malatang - “you pay for what you eat” - style restaurant. You grab a plate and tongs, select your ingredients for your hotpot soup, and the staff weigh your ingredients to determine the price. The base price is $14.99 / 1lb and the minimum weight you can get is 0.8 lb.

They had a decent variety of ingredients spanning from vegetables, noodles, protein, and seafood. Some of the ingredients had labels (the meats and several of the seafood options) but some others did not, so as long as you’re familiar with what malatang restaurants generally serve, then picking the right ingredients that suite your palate shouldn’t be too difficult. Hopefully as the restaurant gains more recognition, the ingredient variety can expand. One of the favorite toppings was the mochi fish cake (tastes nothing special but had a unique texture) and the lobster ball (fishball filled with lobster flavored roe).

Broth selection was vast with a whopping 9 different broths to choose from. After paying for the meal, the staff cooks your ingredients with your chosen broth and they bring your bowl to you. Mid-meal, the staff brought me the noodles they forgot to put into my soup and they were very apologetic about it. Funnily enough, I didn’t even notice they forgot my noodles but seeing how quick they were to address the mistake shows how much they put in towards giving their customers the best service.

Overall, my experience visiting Qingshu Hot Pot was a good one. I recommend people to visit here! :)“

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