Hot Pot Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“Great food and excellent quality ingredients. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the soup was definitely the highlight. It had a rich and amazing flavor that made the meal even more enjoyable. The male waiter also provided excellent service, being very attentive and friendly throughout our visit. I would definitely come back again!“

“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“

“Stopped here for dinner. It was a first time for Chinese hot pot. We did a combo of 4 broths, seafood, beef sirloin, and assorted veggies. It a fun novelty with cooking your own food, but I didn’t think the beef quality was that great. I don’t think I’d go again because it was almost $200 for 2 people“

“the food was bomb but I would love to keep on coming back because the service was excellent!! The host was very sweet and he made us feel at home when we dined in.

Def prefer this over any ayce and the servers were kind enough to put a cover on our clothes while our hot pot was cooking that way it would protect it from the food smells.

There’s also complimentary ice cream!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
