This local spot has been on my radar for a while and it did not disappoint. Price wise, it was a very good deal. Their all you can eat price includes unlimited refill of the plum juice and the lemon tea. Meat and veggies were fresh. They regularly replenished the soupbases. I recommended coming here to super a local business!
Do not expect any services here. No one has the ability to smile. No one makes sure your table is ok or needs anything. Food is pretty good here, lots of selections. Good price, drinks included. You need to learn to avoid looking at their faces. And they have the guts to add 13% tips to the bill.
My friend and I went to Kim Tao after some bowling across the street. We had never done Hot Pot before but the staff were incredible and helped us navigate our options. It was a great experience and the food was delicious.

Kim Tao Hot Pot 金稻 has been a family-owned restaurant for over 20 years, known for its quality all-you-can-eat hot pot dinners featuring a wide variety of items, including drinks and desserts. They prepare their own sauces and broths from scratch, which ensures a unique and tasty experience. The cozy atmosphere, with private rooms, is perfect for a fun night of hot pot dining. Although the design may feel a bit crowded, the portions are generous, offering good meat and vegetable options. Vegetarian choices are available, along with kid-friendly items like fried chicken and fries. Guests often enjoy their signature satay broth paired with tomato broth, and the fried milk pudding is a must-try dessert. The service is efficient and friendly, making each visit enjoyable. This hidden gem not only provides an authentic Cantonese hotpot experience but also includes complimentary drinks like plum juice and lemon tea. With over 100 menu items to choose from, including highlights like clay pot rice, tender beef shank, and handmade shrimp toast, it’s easy to see why many customers return.
The restaurant features very traditional decor and offers a variety of side dishes such as fried tofu, pepper, chicken wings, pot rices, and sticky rices. The hot pot meats are average, but the squid ball, beef balls, and vegetables are good. Different kinds of dessert are available, along with free plum drinks and lemon tea. The weekend price is $29.99 plus $3.00, with an additional $18.00 for the soup base, making the total around $50 per person, which many find worth it since there is no time limit.
Many customers consider it their favorite hot pot place, returning year after year. They praise the satay sauce and the variety of items available, noting that the food is always fresh. One popular soup base is the pickle pig stomach, which has a strong white pepper flavor and adds a spicy kick to the broth. The cuttlefish balls and hand-cut beef marinated with sesame oil are highly recommended, as well as the wide range of fried and fresh meat options. The owner is serious but can be quite funny once he gets to know regular customers, and he even bakes his own biscuits, which surprises many. Portions of meat are large, so diners are advised to choose carefully. The restaurant also has a karaoke room with a mahjong table, adding a unique, Asian-style touch to the dining experience.
