Nice place, food is good. Lius house special spicy soup base was really spicy for me, we weren't able to drink the soup we just use it as a dipper to cook some of the items. Service is fast. I like the ice cream dessert and the sweet coconut pearl soup. Parking is $10 at the next door building, just show the parking ticket and pay at the restaurant before you leave. Ambiance is okay, the place is nice but in my opinion could be a little cleaner.

If you're based on the orange line, I highly recommend this spot. Just one to two blocks away from the chinatown stop, this hot pot spot space is equipped to serve all your friends or if you prefer a single pot, that's fun too!

This was our first time out to a hot pot restaurant, and I'm already thinking of going back! We had so much fun. When we arrived, we were given an iPad to select what we wanted to eat. This was great because by the time we were seated, our food arrived to the table super quickly. We ordered the pork broth soup base which was delicious. The more it boiled, the better the flavor became. I was confused by the tomatoes and cucumbers in the soup, but honestly it made it look pretty! To go along with the soup, we ordered veggies (corn, enoki mushrooms, bok choy), some noodles, fish fillet, and a meat platter with beef tongue and another meat (i forgot what it was). I wasn't a huge fan of the fish, but everything else in the broth was great! It was lots of fun dipping the meat into the boiling soup and watching it cook quickly. We also got some rice to eat with the meat. Something that I also enjoyed was the sauce buffet, which Ive seen in videos of people eating at different hot pot places. I was excited to finally try it on my own. They had such a variety of ingredients and bases for the sauce, it was honestly hard to choose! There were also spring rolls and pig ears which was awesome to eat before our food arrived. After eating our fill of hot soup, the one thing I crave is a cold dessert. This place has you covered with their soft serve ice cream machine, and small dessert buffet with sago, boba, and fruits. Overall, this was a great experience and next time I definitely want to try other flavors of broth and different meat! TL;DR: try the house pork soup base if you are new to hot pot, it has a great flavor that pairs well with all meats and add ons. Make a sauce at the buffet to add more flavor to your food. To round out your meal, treat yourself to some ice cream! Yum.

Wife and her work team came here for team dinner. Hope it was good, I did catch a glimpse inside, passing through earlier in the day. Has combo for 1 between lunch and 4:00pm I think. Well Maybe next time.

Best hotpot in Boston!! Not AYCE, but so worth it. Have been here a couple of times, each time though it's had a long line, so be prepared for that! I would recommend coming on the earlier side, as the wait time does get very long. Very worth the wait though! The restaurant is medium sized and there were comfortable booths. We ordered the lamb platter (because we had to, of course!) and a bunch of other dishes: bean curd, lotus root, tofu skin roll, cabbage, and extra meat. The broth and food came out very fast, which was great. The broth was also very large, which was great as it was big enough to put a bunch of stuff in the pot at once. The meat was definitely the highlight. The lamb was so flavorful, thin, and had the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat. I couldn't get enough of it! The sauce bar was also great. Always stocked with all the ingredients, and they even had some appetizers, which was nice. I would definitely recommend coming here, it's one of my favorite chinatown spots!

This is my favorite hotpot place in Boston! There's always a line when you come at peak dinner times and the wait would be 1+ hours so highly recommend getting on the waitlist ahead of time (which you can find on their website. The quality of the broth, sauce bar (which includes both appetizers and desserts), and anything you order is great. There's also some specials so check their instagram profile often!

Popular hotspot joint on the edge of Chinatown and tufts medical. We came on a Saturday as a party of 2 on a late afternoon, because we knew how popular this place is, and were able to get a seat right away. We did half spicy and half mushroom based broths, got a meat combo, Napa cabbage, bak Choi, and potato noodles. The broth is excellent, the blending they do here is really reminiscent of the top tier hot pots in Beijing. Meat quality is great and the prices is reasonable with their portions. They have this little sauce bar that also has an assortment of other appetizers that functions like buffet-AYCE-style, that's maybe $5/person. Meaning you could pick up an unlimited of their little chicken wings, sesame balls, pickled radishes, amongst other small bites. They have a little soft serve machine too! tldr; fancy hot pot place that has top tier broths and unlimited sauce/appetizer bar

Plan ahead and make a reservation since they're always packed. It's very lively and good for family meals. They have many meat options as well as a wide selection of tofu and veg. We got one spicy and one no spicy broth. There is something for everyone The sauce bar is extra but well worth it. There's fruit and icecream included.

Been wanting to come here for quite some time now but every time we try to come, there is a line. Of course, that only drove us more to wanting to come here. Location wise. This is very convenient, as it is very close to the theater distric. Their service was good, the staff were very prompt to help, and they both speak Mandarin and Chinese English perfectly, so there's no need to feel worried about not being able to speak with the staff. Additionally, the menus are on iPads, so there are pictures and descriptions of items for you to select and order. We went during lunch, so there was a special that's going on Monday through Friday for the luncheon. Period for two people. The cost is roughly $60 which includes the all you can eat appetizer station, and dessert bar. When ordering your broth to cook your meat in, you have a wide selection to chose from. Best of all you can select two and they will provide it in a pot that's divided in half so you can enjoy both broths. Overall, the presentation is beautiful when it's brought to your table. The meats look and vegetables are fresh, with beautiful marbling on the meats, and it's everything you would expect from a high-end hot pot restaurant. The one drawback is the selections they offer for the appetizer station. A lot of it seems very cheap and very oily, with a lot of the chili oils on it. So really nothing you'd be interested in eating too much of. I'm a sucker for ice cream where I can always find room for a big bowl of it. The soft serve was the best way to end the meal.

Had a great time with my bestie on my last trip here. We got so lucky and didn't have to wait to be seated. The two broths were so tasty. Learned from my bestie to get a bowl of coconut chicken soup before you add your food, they literally add a fresh coconut. The proteins were great and I loved the shrimp paste. We also ordered a little too much for the two of us. We wanted to try a bit of everything. The sauce bar was so worth it because it came with some side dishes like chicken wings, spring rolls and then the dessert afterwards. You can either make your own dessert or grab a hood ice cream which I did both. Not super pricey for 2 people but you could definitely get your monies worth if you order less and eat more at the sauce bar. Super nice interior, friendly staff.
