“Went in with my parents and brother for dinner and WOW! This place is great! Good service, atmosphere is nice and the decor is a sight for sore eyes. The Dolar Shop is perfect for hotpot lovers and I recommend getting the half spicy and half creamy broth!“
Hot Pot • $$
“Our go to hot pot place. Perfect for all you can eat hot pot with lots of options. Everyone leaves full, happy, and smelling like hot pot broth.We usually do the tomato and mushroom broths, then load it up with meat, noodles, and some veggies.Be sure to come here with ample time on the weekends, as wait times are sometimes 2 hours.“
“Delicious hot pot in downtown Bellevue! For broths we had the house spicy and tomato. Big warning on the house spicy broth...even the "light spicy" is extremely spicy! It's very tasty but it will burn you twice if you know what I mean, especially vegetables that seem to soak up all the spicy oils. Our favorites were the beef short ribs and lamb shoulder. Fish filet was pretty good too, though I think we overcooked them. We also got Mexican shrimps that were huge but I wish they were de-veined, that was my only gripe of the meal. I really appreciated the wait staff, they were patient and explained how to order off their iPads, and gave recommendations that we enjoyed. The underground parking lot is kinda narrow and limited, so I bet it's a nightmare on busy weekends.“
“Honestly, dolar shop or haidilao is the superior hot pot. The environment here does not feel as luxurious, the quality of the meat cuts are much worse, and the all you can eat dessert bar is not as exciting. The benches are also narrow and uncomfortable!Wanted to try their dessert, but they didn’t make the one we wanted unfortunately, so will probably come here again to try that“
“Not gonna try to be a food critic here because if you know the greater Seattle area, you know we don’t have good, quality, authentic shabu. Service was fantastic, atmosphere was clean and understated, appetizers (karaage and tuna on crispy rice) were excellent. Both shabu and sukiyaki were authentic, high quality ingredients, and came with clear and abundant options.“
“We came to dine in during Tuesday's dinner. The broth and food quality were excellent, and the servers were attentive.In addition, the restaurant currently offers 20%off discount from Mondays-Thursdays, 5 pm to close, which is a good deal! Besides the regular menu, they also offer an all-you-can-eat menu now!“
“Everything you want in an authentic Chinese / Sichuan place. Huge menu, food is top tier, and you can control the spice level to your liking. Came here with a large group and ordered a lot of food - so much flavor and use of real Sichuan peppercorns.Will definitely visit again!“
“We were recommended this Ramen restaurant and we’re quite surprised to find it. It’s actually more like a Chinese hot hot flavor. This is not Japanese Ramen at all and we were kind of happy because the Chinese hot pot style is so much better. The flavors are much more rich, and it’s a really fun environment and approach to making your own soup bowls. Highly recommend this place.“
“Ordered chicken wing simmer pot with non spicy sauce. Unexpectedly good. Chicken wings were so tender, wtf. The cloves of garlic were great. Quail eggs also great. Rice with the sauce was great. Wish I can come here without my kids to eat spicy bullfrog simmer pot“
“Such an astounding experience today for my whole family and especially my dad. We made a reservation here to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had heard the customer service here was great but even so they definitely went way above and beyond and thoroughly exceeded our expectations. Kay was our server, he made sure the whole experience was so good from the very beginning to the end for us. He decorated the whole table for his birthday, which was totally unexpected, even brought the cake out with a lit candle!! He even gave my dad a small gift. While my boyfriend and I were waiting for the rest of the family to show up, he brought us a small plate of fruit. Such attention to detail!My parents were very impressed by the whole establishment. Our water cups never went empty, Kay checked in on us often. I’ve never felt so welcome and taken care of.Free validated parking. The bathroom was stocked with mouth wash, toothbrush/toothpaste. He gave us hair ties and lens cleaners for my brother and nephew. The dancing noodle guy did a great job as well!Definitely come for a birthday if you want the person to feel special! The tomyum soup was the favorite among most of us, miso as well!“
