We tried this place when we were travelling in Seattle. It wasn't cheap but if you're really hungry it's worth it I suppose. The portion of ingredients for the all you can eat is very generous! There's also a sauce bar that you have to pay extra for. The soups were pretty decent as well. We were very full by the end of it. Not the best hot pot I've ever had but I can definitely see the appeal. We all enjoyed i.

I've been here three times in the last three months. Every group we bring here has had such a great time and left happy and full. With the all you can eat hot pot, you end up spending about $45-50 per person total, and it is so worth it. Every broth is so flavorful, and there are so many veggie, meat, and sauce options, it's impossible to get bored. I've tried so many new foods here and enjoyed every single one. Absolutely 1000% recommendVegetarian options: Most of the broths can be ordered vegetarian, and there are tons of veggies to cook and eat.Parking: Lots of parking on site

Probably one of the best hotpot restaurants in Seattle. They have really good broths. Lots of choices for what you can put in your hotpot. They even have a make your own sauce bar w various treats to eat. We'll most likely be back soon, it's our new favorite hotpot spot.

This is one of my favorite hot-pot places in the area. You walk in, get seated, and use your mobile device to order from the menu. Food shows up with no fuss and usually very quickly.The "all-you-can-eat" option is great, letting everyone order exactly what they want, and how much they want.Highly recommended if you're looking for this type of eating experience. Price is average for this type of business.

Love the communal aspect of hot pot! I thought the ordering through the phone was a pretty smart way to do things, too.

It was sadly a really bad experience. If you’re vegan/vegetarian they charge more for different broth.. the utensil and cups were Single-use plastic except the plate, the place smell like uncooked meat and it was hard to understand the waiter..

$ 28.99 for All-you-can-eat is great!! The bone broth is great! The dipping sauce is great!! I love this place! ❣️Only the parking is often occupied, but there is a large parking nearby around ROSS.

One of my favorite places to get hot pot in Seattle.

This is the go-to for friends and I, and we are avid eaters of hot pot (about once every two weeks). To be honest, a large part of the reason we're regulars here is the location; it's within a 10 min driving distance of all of us, and this definitely swings the decision.Just as important, however, we've tried almost all of the hot pot locations in Seattle, and this lands in the top 5, especially with the great All You Can Eat value. It's reasonably priced, has tons of options, and doesn't exclude some of the pricier items such as meats or shrimp paste.Are there better hot pots in Seattle? Yes, definitely, but expect to pay probably $20-$30 more pp at those locations.For us, No. 9 Alley Hotpot hits the right spots for our regular hot pot joint.

One better hot pot out there. Nice it's AyCE. From outside its not something you try on the wim. It's definitely a destination you seek out. Inside it's a complete 360. You have a lot of choice for topping, sauce, and broth. Definitely felt like I got my money's worth.

I've lived in the area ever since I was little and never really thought about coming here till recently. I don't exactly quite remember what it was before it became this restaurant but I would just see the outside and thought it looked a lil sketchy so I never went in until recently.When I went in I saw how nice the interior was and how nice the ambiance was. The whole experience is off a QR code where you can place your order which is a plus for me in AYCE because it makes it easier to keep ordering without feeling like a bother. The food is great, plenty of food to choose from in their AYCE options as well as a nice sauce bar where you can make your own sauce. Besides the food I also want to give a shout-out to the staff. Every single dang time I come here the staff are so so nice and they always check up on you to make sure you're doing well. I feel as if they genuinely want you to have a good experience and that must be commended. Lastly I don't think this is something that is mentioned a lot but I like how far apart the tables are. A lot of other hotpot places *cough swishswish* have tables really close together where you can hear other people's conversations but here it feels very private and it makes it a nice dining experience that I look forward to coming here every week especially when I'm feeling a lil extra hungry from eating a gummy of a certain variety ‍. Overall 5/5 no complaints this is a must try hole in the wall!

Hot pot with half spicy and half mild is a great way for newcomers to try and see which type they prefer. Fresh vegetables, assorted meats, tofu and noodles are available per your order and preference. This is classic Sichuan-style hotpot which my family and I love. I prefer the mala (numbing) heat and my family prefers the mild broth. But all of us like the wide variety of ingredients we can use to make it different and deliciously interesting every time. Check it out if you want the real deal.
