    Beijing Hot Pot is a lovely restaurant for groups and gathering with friends. We arrived on a Saturday and managed to get a table before it started to get busy. Our group ordered the split pot for AYCE, and we got the mushroom broth and spicy broth. For the fillings, I ordered sliced lamb, sliced beef, noodles, dumplings and many quail eggs. For an AYCE restaurant, I was impressed with the quality and taste of the meat, noodles, and even the broth. It definitely is a step above other AYCE hot pot restaurants. Our server frequently stopped by to refill our pot and check-in, which is also a plus. I would highly recommend calling ahead or reserving a table through Yelp, as they get quite busy in the evenings.

    Right from the start the service here was very quick. We got our menus, chose what we wanted, and then within a minute food was appearing on our table. Strangely, they didn't offer to bring us glasses of water and we finally asked for it half way through the meal. However, they actually brought us everything we asked for where many other hotpot places usually forget about part of our order. The selection on the menu was pretty good but could have been better. Other places have a much wider variety of sauces available, but here we were limited to four choices. The meat was great quality, but again we would have liked more options. All the vegetables were fresh and very flavourful. We were pleasantly surprised to see the dessert menu. The fried buns were really good and there were a few great options for ice cream too.

    My husband and I have eaten here many times. It's our first choice for hot pot because it has the broth we like. The mushroom is good, the spicy is spicy, but yet has flavour, not just heat and I love the pork bone. The service is excellent , but you have to remember there is a time limit of 2 or less hours depending on the day. When it's busy reservations are lined up snd servers need to clean and reset everything., even if its not busy, you need to go, I appreciate the last call and reminder of the time. Another yelper did not. The servers are very polite and tactful. It's all on the menu. If you re not familiar with the restaurant type, just ask, the manager is very helpful. Also the service is different, if you want another beer or beverage, or some dishes removed. You need to move them to the side of the table or raise your hand. It's a little different. The variety of food is good, my husband loves the dumplings. I prefer the variety of tofu and bean curd. The veggies are good, everything is always fresh, seafood is on the menu and if you like the really expensive or exotic food, it's available for a small extra charge. They frequently refill the soup, it simmers away fast. The restaurant is very clean and if you look in the kitchen, it's the same. Clean and sanitary is a big thing for me. We've booked reservations on Yelp or called. The place can get pretty busy later on. So reservations are a good idea. So many young people eat here. If you want in and it's busy, you may have a long wait. Some one mentioned a problem with language. I've had none at all, Overall I would recommend this pls e and we will be returning. A great hot pot to try and become a regular

    Hidden in a small plaza across from Fairview mall, I've been here multiple times with my husband. As I love spicy hotpot and my husband loves lamb. Now, I for one do not like lamb as it can be too gamey for me. But the lamb here at Beijing is NOT gamey at all! So for me, I was able to enjoy as much lamb as my husband. The offer other cuts of beef and a variety of veggies, noodles, and other ingredients you would usually eat for hotpot. Soup base is extra cost, but my husband really enjoys the tomato base and I enjoy the spicy broth, so it's not a big deal for us. It is small inside and it's always busy so be sure to make resos!

    I seldom have hot pot or even AYCE option when I go out to eat. But my experience at Beijing Hot Pot Restaurant might change my mind. The restaurant itself is clean. I love how everything is so organized. The option of havine 1/2/3/4 different soup base in one pot is just genius! Our group of 3 were able to have our own favourite/individual soup base without sharing with others! I can go all the way and order my spicy mala soup while others can enjoy mushroom base or pork bone base! Win Win situation for all of us. The quality of meat is quite good for an AYCE. Other selection is good. I especially love the different kind of mushrooms that offers and even different kind of soy products too. This is one of those places I can go eat with a vegetarian and we can both enjoy our own personal hot pot. Service was excellent. All orders were delivered promptly which is really important as there is a 1.5 hour time limit. The experience can be a little rush but it works well if you are waiting for a table.

    Solid all you can eat hotpot! Good broths, good quality meat, and lots of options. It doesn't feel super upscale, but the food was decent so I don't mind! I've had better but I'd definitely still go back here!

    This place is bombbbb. The variety and quality of food as well as the service are the highlights of this place. I always prefer AYCE because you don't have to enforce what you're getting and worry about what you'll pay at the end. The variety of items on the menu was really great, and they give you the food in the perfect quantities so you're able to try out things you're curious about without having to commit to it/risk you wasting too much food if you aren't a fan. My favourite food items include the sliced beef (super fresh), taro noodles (so fun and easy to eat!!), tripe, and the knotted kelp. You have to pay $8.99 extra should you choose to order a flavoured broth that isn't just water-based. I decided to go with the pork bone. I'm not a hot pot expert and have not tried too many broths in the past... but my take on it (TIP:) is that if you aren't picky and are a new hot pot eater, the water based broth will def suffice. The taste of the broth changes pretty soon anyways since you're cooking food in it, so if you get water based broth it becomes pretty flavourful eventually - if you like spicy, ordering the spicy beef will transform your soup broth drastically. Others might say otherwise that the broth matters but this is just my take as an amateur hot potter. The service here is excellent!! The owner/manager is always on high alert and manages the business very well, from the beginning stages of communicating with you and keeping you up to date with wait times, to your meal when he spots you needing attention right away and tells one of the servers who will assist you within 3 seconds. The servers are always standing by and watching over the tables... super attentive. Unfortunately the restaurant space is pretty small, so at peak times there definitely will be a wait. The wait time for me was an hour yesterday, but since Fairview is close by I killed time there and time flew by. I told this to the manager beforehand, who gave me a call when he noticed the guests in our table close to leaving, to give us enough time to make it back right before our table was fully prepared. One other minor detail is that their plates are bit small for eating off of, and I had to ask for a ladle as they don't give it to you right off the bat, which I found a little weird for a hot pot place. Overall this place is great. I'm not sure if you can make reservations but if you can, the only barrier is the wait times. But I think it was worth the wait because the food was great and it was altogether a very positive dining experience for sure.

    Came as a larger group of 8, never knew there were restaurants tucked into this small plaza. The place is very busy, and understandably strict with the seating limit. An AYCE hot pot place, there is quite a selection of foods you can order. What I stood out to me were the large plates of nicely rolled slices of meat. The plates were generously stacked, which I appreciated seeing as we were a group of 8, so we didn't have to keep ordering. Also nice was the different mushrooms they offered. Quality was overall good, with some of the pre-prepared foods like assorted balls, seafood here and there. Service was great. The waiters had good English and were quite friendly.

    This is a traditional way to have a hotpot in Beijing. Not exactly copy and paste due to many reasonable factors close enough!!! The price is also reasonable. I have been to this place multiple times and introduced them to my friends. I can tell some people from the south of China may not accept this way to have hotpot~but it's good enough for me to fill my appetite.

    Overall since nothing is really cooked prior to your table you can only asses the freshness and quality of the ingredients, variety of the sauce, the broth and the service. Overall food was pretty good (especially the freshness of the lamb slices) but the service was simply terrible. First the food, as one of Mongolian decent lamb is a must for me on a regular basis. This place definitely hit the spot and would certainly deserving a 4 star, but service is barely 1 star. First thing, not sure if they just didn't like us because we ordered maybe more than their average customer but getting service was impossible. I was trying to way down a waiter for some water and napkins, right in front him and its like he has selective vision. The icing on the cake was when we were close to finish eating, the manager i guess came and talked to us and told us we have been eating for 2h (despite the 1.5h) limit and we need to leave soon. I was outright appalled by this as not only was there no one waiting for a table, there were numerous tables that were near us that have been there since we arrived.

We tried both the roasted chili & fermented black bean and Sichuan spicy soup bases, and I liked that they actually had different flavour profiles rather than just tasting like different levels of spice. We also ordered the pork wontons and spicy crispy tofu. The crispy tofu was one of my favourites because it added a nice crunch in between bites of hot pot. For dessert, we tried the banana mystery parfait and camellia oolong parfait. I especially liked the oolong parfait since it's not a flavour you see on dessert menus very often. I also really liked the individual hot pot format. Sometimes I want hot pot without committing to a full AYCE meal, so this was a nice option, especially for the price.

In our case, with 5 people sharing mostly appetizers / smaller dishes, we ended up spending about $20 per person (tip + tax included) which is still a pretty good deal. I'd absolutely go back for the popcorn chicken and the minced-pork rice bowl again.
