Hot Pot Restaurants in Seattle, WA

“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!“

“Food is great. Portion is very large even for All you can eat menu. Service is ok. The waiter was very nice, but he was very busy and had 8 tables, so you need to wait until he is available. Also, they need to go round to sing happy birthday... Just extra wait while I need my ice water.“

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

“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!!“

“Everything is high quality here, I got the hottest possible broth and while it did have quite a kick, it wasn't painful. However, I am Mexican so my spice tolerance might be higher. Service was great, got the bottomless milk tea and they returned to refill it frequently. The sauce bar does cost extra, but it was worth it in my opinion. Overall fantastic experience, if I'm ever in Seattle again I'll definitely return!“

“Best crew ever! We were there late yesterday, but the crew still served us with passion, and helped us got the cute little stuffed lamb! I can see they were all happy for me as well. It had made a truly amazing experience for me dining there🩷“

“You can pick your own ingredients, which is fun, and the broth was flavorful with a nice spicy kick. There were a lot of options to choose from, and the portion was filling. Overall, a solid spot if you’re craving something warm and spicy!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
