Athena’s 4-star review: If you are looking for quality hot pot, and not so noisy and dirty setting, U DU is the to-go place. From Mon to Thurs, they have $25 plus tip and tax all-you-can-eat hot pot deal. All the ingredients here are great quality and fresh. They have several selections for your broth - kimchi, pickles, spicy and even duck! Even though it is all the way out in Flushing, it is totally worth it!

Athena’s 4-star review: Hot spot for Shabu Shabu in the city. Very cute decor with tatami floor and paper windows. The quality of the hot pot meat is very high. I like how this restaurant is very clean and service is fast. Came here with two of my girlfriends and we ordered the prime rib set and were full without ordering anything extra. It also comes with ice cream as dessert last. One tip though, if you want to savor the soup after you finish the meal, don't add more water to it as it dilutes down the broth. Finally, there is almost always a long wait at nights, especially weekends. Therefore, be sure to have patience coz it is worth it! -
Athena’s 4-star review: Great $26 all you can eat hot pot and shanghainese dim sum place! They have a good selection of hot pot ingredients and there are a variety of sauce dips. The drinks (soda, bud, etc.) are included as well. I would love to come back again! -
Athena’s 4-star review: I would say this is the best hot pot place inside Manhattan. Their hot pot is pretty damn spicy but that is the way it should be. Each pot is about $20 and split by the number of people you have. Each ingredients you add costs extra. I have never spend more than $25 here though. They tend to have a long wait on the weekends and cold days so even if you make a reservation, sometimes you have to wait either way. In terms of decor, this place has nothing to take note of. It is plain and simple Canal St restaurant with quick service. If you have extra time, I would recommend go to Shanghai Tide or U Du Cafe in Flushing for higher quality food and lower price (both all-you-can-eat). -
Athena’s 3-star review: I was so excited about this new addition to Chinese restaurants in East Village. After all, other than those takeout places, East Village is quite lacking in quality Chinese restaurant. As a chili lover, I was particularly thrilled to learn of this new opening. There were three of us on a cold Thursday night. We walked into a big room full of Asians so my first impression was definitely good. We sat down and ordered hot pot (Chinese fondue) with the toppings we desired. I already notice they are expensive. And they are. We ordered 1 portion or beef and another portion of lamb and each is $10. It was ridiculously little for each meat. However, if they are vegetable or tofu, they gave you plenty. In general, the quality of toppings are average; the meat is definitely not top quality. Now we tried the broth. We ordered the twin pot, which contains 1 spicy broth and one clear broth. The spicy side has a good degree of spiciness. It is not overpowering but gets the job done. Unfortunately, the broth uses too much grease and it was proved by the leftover chili oil on my plate. The clear side was very tasty though. I drank two bowls of soup from there. We ended up paying close to $30 each. This is a lot for Chinese food and especially since we did not order a lot of toppings. I would like to return to try non-hotpot dishes. The price is a little hard to swallow. -
Athena’s 4-star review: I came here with a big group after ice skating at Bryant Park and was a little skeptical of this restaurant since it is nowhere near Chinatown. It turned out much better than I expected. It is not as spicy as I would like it to be but the spice and flavor is there. We ordered several dishes to share among 8 people. I like every dish we got. We started with the duck tongue. IT sounds really yucky but it is surprisingly great! The broiled fish in chili sauce has a great aromatic smell and the fish is tender and flaky. I loved the chili spice; it is obviously toned down to suit Americans. The cumin lamb is numbing and delicious at the same time. I also really like the Sechuan Style fried diced chicken. The total bill came out to be about $21 a person. I am coming back for more when I am in the area! -
Athena’s 4-star review: Hakata Ton Ton is cute, eccentric and busy. I have been here twice in a week so you know how much I love their food! There are definitely some highlights of my meals here. I got their Hakata hot pot tasing menu both times. We got 3 orders for 4 people but that is plenty of food already. We didn't bother ordering anything else extra. 1) Sashimi appetizers: The thinly sliced sashimi is drenched in this sesame vinegar sauce and it is absolutely delicious. I can very possibly eat the whole plate myself. 2) Pig Salad: Or whatever they called in on the menu was very very good. There were a ton of those shredded pork on top of greens in a homemade sauce with caviar. IT was absolutely delicious and again, I would love to consume the whole plate myself. 3)Japanese fried Chicken: The chicken are crispy and not greasy at all. They use chicken thigh I think so it is pretty juicy and tender. Love it! 4) The hot pot took a while to cook. We picked the hakata one and in Japanese it says it improves your skin health because it contains a lot of collagen, aka, pig skin. But do not fear. It is very delicious. It has a ton of Chinese chives, cabbage, some pork belly, dumplings and yummy broth. The set menu also comes with either bibimbop or ramen noodles. I have tried both and they are both good depending on what you prefer. We ended our meal with their strawberry ice cream and Japanese black sugar mochi. They are to die for. You can taste the strawberry and the sweet black sugar in the mochi! Well, there are some downsides to the restaurant. The service, when you do get it, is great. Yet, unfortunately, it is a little scattered. You don't and won't get much attention as you would like to. The restaurant is also on the small side so if you didn't make a reservation, you would probably wait for an hour and more. One last thing to add is that the waiters/waitress are too nice to discourage outrageous customer behaviors. Last time I was there, there was a big table of LOUD customers. But the restaurant did nothing to deter them so I had to hear their crappy conversation during the whole meal. I will be back! -
Athena’s 4-star review: Hot pot is Chinese comfort food during cold weathers. The restaurant is quite small so be expected to wait about 30 minutes on the weekend. The wait is definitely worth it though because nothing beats $20 a person all-you-can-eat hot pot + beverages and no tax kind of deal! Their meat is pretty good but I would not recommend the pork because it is basically pork belly. But then again, if you dont mind the fat, pork belly is good for you ;) The lamb and beef are very good here. We did order a medium spicy but it turned out to be VERY spicy because I am a spice expert and even I was sweating like crazy. So I would recommend getting mild to start. The service could be a little sporadic because it gets busy and the waitresses here are not the most trained as I could imagine. However, with that price, you can't really be too picky.

Athena’s 4-star review: I would give this place a 5 Star if not for the high price for hotpot restaurants. Thank God I had a Groupon and that saved me some cash. This is a order by plate hotpot place and their ingredients are pretty high quality and clean. We got the half spicy and half pork bone broth pot to share among 4. We got a lot of beef and lamb as well as "drunken shrimp" and fresh "shrimp paste" to cook. These two dishes are very unique and I highly recommend them especially. The pork bone broth is amazing; it is very similar to ramen noodle broth. The spicy side is not very spicy actually so I think next time I am going to tell them add more chilli. One more thing to note is if you check in on Yelp or Foursquare, you can get one free creamy melon popcicle. It is so good especially after a spicy and salty feast. I am drooling over the broth right now... -
Athena’s 4-star review: Among all the hot pot restaurants in Flushing, I do enjoy Hot Pot House for a few reasons. First of all, the wait here is not terrible. I have little patience to wait over 30 minutes for a table. We got here and were seated right away. Secondly, the staff were very friendly. They were not pushy but they tend to be slow to bring out the food you order. This might be a tactic to slow down your all-you-can-eat speed. Finally, the broth is good and food quality is decent and fresh. One final point is that the all-you-can-eat here is only $19 plus tax and tip, which come out to be about $25. One funny thing to note is you get a karaoke station right at your table. If you feel like singing while you dine, it is free! Overall, it is a reliable and decent hot pot place if you don't want to fight over tables or get rushed service.
