“ Love the small pots, varieties of veggies and meat. The broth was delicious, we tried a few different ones. All good. It was fun! Parking was hard to find :( ”
“ Great service, great food, super fun atmosphere, good prices. It's our family's favorite place to go for celebrations ”
“ The variety of items you can order is great that falls under the AYCE part. The quality of the items are pretty good too, including the seafood, which is what I'm usually most wary about. Service wise, you have an ipad you use to order and everything came out pretty quickly. The conveyor belt in the middle is also pretty convenient for getting the more basic stuff (veggies, fishcakes, quail eggs, mushrooms), which also makes the service move faster. The interior is also very nice and neat. The only thing I would say is that the wait time is pretty long so you really have to prepare yourself, and the sauce bar has a bit less variety compared to other places but still very good. ”
“ The food is really good. I went there with my family and we enjoyed it. The wait can be sometimes long in the evenings, on the weekends but other than that everything is great. ”
“ This place is great because they allow you to switch your broth option if you change your mind. Some places do not have that. In addition, they have a conveyor belt that you can grab food from so you don't have to order on iPad for the next round. They also have a great dessert menu with the coconut jelly being the best. That's if you have room for dessert after your hot pot feast. ”
“ It could 100 degrees outside or super cold.. I will always choose this hot pot place. Family and friends are always ready to bond over some great food and this place is where we go. Plenty of seating available so great if you have a big party (there is a 90 minute seating limit). Regarding food.. there are soo many options starting from Soups base. There are also many Vegan options which is nice to see. Meat and seafood options are great, the spiced beef and marinated shrimp are some of my favorites options. They have lunch and dinner all you can eat prices. (Dinner is slightly more expensive) Overall, this place should be next on your list to visit. And don't forget to get some of their free ice cream on your way out ”
“ I have been coming here since they opened and several times a year when I'm in Rockville. Urban Hot Pot is a franchised and has several locations. Broth is consistently good and their meat quality is much better than other hot pot place. Service is quick with ipad and severs are friendly. The vibe is good and place is always clean. ”
“ This is hands-down the best Hot-pot in the DMV area! Their hotpot soup bases are very flavorful and yummy, and they have a good selection for everyone. Food is fresh and comes out quickly, and they have a belt as well for some items, though I usually don't grab anything from there. Sauce bar is good, has a lot of the things I would want, and they also have a good house sauce that you can customize and make into your own! Service has always been pretty good when I go, and the staff are responsive when you request for them on the iPads. I love the decor inside, it is bright and welcoming. They have kept it very clean and nice looking over the years and it is my favorite hot-pot place! ”
“ My experience is always awesome. I take friends to this restaurant every 3 months. Everyone loves it. The environment is great : clean. Service is fast. Food is fresh and abundance. Sauces station is clean. I highly recommend this place. Each person can has his or her own soup base. It's healthy eating, delicious and satisfyingly awesome. ”
“ Celebrating a birthday is always fun, especially when the birthday girl has never tried hot pot. I love introducing someone to new foodie adventures. We ordered 2 broths; the house broth and the miso broth. We both loved the flavor and depth of the miso broth. The house broth was not a favorite. I was sorry that we didn't exchange that one, for another broth. We ordered a variety of meats; we had the lamb, the pork belly, and the sirloin. They were very generous with their portions and each of the meats were delicious. We ordered a bunch of vegetables. The bok Choy, corn, mushrooms, potatoes,broccoli, and string beans, they were all fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed the udon noodles. They were very flavorful in the broth. We ordered the ramen noodles, but we were so full, that we forgot about them. The seafood was lacking in freshness and taste. The lobster balls tasted fishy and not fresh. The crab sticks were the same way. We did love their shrimp with the head on. I think they could have been a little bit more generous with your portion size. Ambiance was lovely. It gives you a modern industrial feel with lots of tables and overhead lighting. I am sorry that we couldn't get a table by the conveyer belt. I think that adds a layer of extra fun to the dinner party. The service lacked a lot in my opinion. It took awhile to get someone's attention, if you needed something. The one novelty was the talking robot. He was entertaining and fun. He brought us our drinks and refill on the shrimp. All in all, it was a lot of fun. But, for the price, they need to work on higher quality seafood and better service. That is why I rated them a 4. ”
