    Come hungry!!!!!!! Good deal for the amount of food you get at this local spot for hot pot! It's worth the splurge because you can stay as long as you want during operating hours of course, and the portion sizes they bring you are huge! Try it all! Plenty of free parking! Service was friendly and our waitress tried hard!

    Loved this place! It's a bit of a hole in the wall, tucked into a shopping center that seems to be struggling a bit. As is the case, there's plenty of parking in the area. When we went, they were not accepting reservations, though it's not clear if that was a situational thing or if that's how it always is. There were plenty of tables, so it all worked out. They have a full bar, and had some drink specials, even on a Saturday night. When you sit down, you will find a piece of paper with all the ingredients you can choose. We selected 2 broths, Tom Yum and House, and then several meats, fish and veggies. I especially appreciated that the Ingredients were grouped by how long they should cook in the broth. Once you've made your selections, they will bring out a pot to set on the hot plate. Then they'll bring out your selections! Remember, you can cook things a little at a time. No need to throw everything in at once. This is a nice group or date meal/experience. I would also recommend going in person to this restaurant, rather than takeout, given the experience element!

    In the words of my daughters, this dining experience was a 10/10! The food was delicious! Everything was fresh and proportioned just right. The broths were seasoned well. This food was so good and we ate to our heart's delight! The ambiance is laid back and can accommodate multiple persons per group. This experience would be best with two or more people. The service was amazing. James, the host was fantastic as was Malika, our server. Malika was personable and knowledgeable about the experience. She was awesome!

    Boiling Pot I was taken here by a friend. Nice decor. The pots were huge and the meat and vegetables were fresh. Really nothing to complain about. I've been to many Hotpot establishments and this one is a solid restaurant. Our waiter was excellent. Overall a good experience. One last thing, the white rice bowl was huge. Nice. Not AYCE but decent. Recommended.

    First time. Ada took care of us. She was very nice and informative. Very attentive as well. The restaurant was kind of busy when we got there but the food came out quickly. Everything was very good and huge portions. The broth had amazing flavor and everything seemed fresh. Would def be coming back.

    a combination of ingredients in the broth: spicy sezchuan and miso.

    walking into the restaurant with little to no knowledge of how hotpot works, i'd be lying if i said i wasn't intimidated. our wait was brief, thankfully, as i have the anxiety of an anxious squirrel on a highway. right off the bat, our server, dallas, was warm and welcoming. honestly, she made the experience even better. drinks were always full, she wasn't overbearing... girl knew what she was doing. as for the food, we chose our broths and ingredients; we had so many options. for $30/person, i was pleased with the amount of food we were given. it was fresh, vibrant, and so real. 11/10. the one thing that initially made me hesitant about the restaurant was its look. overall, it's outdated and a bit drab. the music was... cringe, tables are kind of scrunched together, it was easy to listen in on other conversations, but this didn't affect me much. i definitely recommend this place for hotpot. it's a little hole-in-the-wall, but the food is totally worth it.

    Decided I wanted unlimited seafood today and the Boiling Pot was the perfect place. As soon as I ordered my food came out in about 15 mins If that long. I couldn't even order another round because it was so much food. I've been here a few times and I enjoy all options and I will return.

    Highly recommend coming here! Such a fun experience. You pay about $35 for all you can eat and the food is so good! Our waiter was so nice and we had such an amazing experience. That atmosphere is pretty laid-back but the cooking style is so cool that this is a great spot for dates or special events.

    Food was amazing y'all!! Wanted a new Asian experience restaurant to go to with my friend and this was top notch!! The Miso base and the SM base was what we got! Might change the last one to curry next time and see how that one is. The service was good!! The waiter was so patient with us and honestly that made the experience so much better! Also shout out he had awesome slick back early 60s hair!we got a lot of veggies and pork belly with the beef option. WARNING the meat is a lot so do one or two at a time guys!! Get the udon noodles the ramen was just pasta. Sauces were fabulous. Ambiance was dim and thankfully due to when we can was calm! Will definitely be coming back!

    Very frozen seafood. Unusual.

    Been to many hot pot restaurants from North Carolina to California and this was one of my least favorite. Service was pretty much non-existent, food quality was mediocre and no sauce station? What?! Unheard of. We saw that there wasn't a sauce station so we ordered some sauces from the menu, they NEVER came and we didn't see our waitress until the end of the meal and at the point the sauce was no longer needed. Yes, they give you some basics like Chinese bbq sauce, garlic, very watered down peanut sauce, onions and soy sauce but where was the vinegar? Ponzu? Sesame oil? Oh and order what you want at the beginning because they won't be back to ask you if you want anything more. What was really mind boggling was the frozen solid seafood. The meatballs were frozen together in a block of ice, the oysters are the frozen kind you get from the Korean market in a freezer section and the shrimps were the frozen kind too. The shrimps had no flavor at all. The beefs we ordered were okay but the pork belly was not good. Crab Rangoon was decent but the gyoza needed seasoning on the meat. It's sad to say that at a hot pot restaurant the only decent thing was the crab Rangoon. If you don't know hot pot, this place will probably do. But if you do, you'll be disappointed. If you do go, don't forget to get the veggie essentials for the your hot pot: watercress, tong ho, baby bok choy and Chinese cabbage.

    Are you guys doing dine in?

    Looking at the menu it seems all to be a la carte. But the website says it's $27.50 for all you can eat. Can anyone please let me know what it really is? Reviews are not very clear. And is it up by Northlake?…

    All you can eat is off of the hot pot (aka Chinese founder) menu which comes with apps and dessert! Think melting pot.. but unlimited :) super close to Northlake mall

    What's the difference between the boiling pot and the melting pot restaurants?

    These restaurants are not affiliated in any way. The Boiling Pot is more of an Asian Fusion restaurant focused on asian style "Hot Pot" meals. They have a fairly wide array of options for the contents of the hot pot including the broth(s), noodles,…

The first time was in November 2025 and 2nd time March 2026 where the bartenders were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made some of the best Bloody Marys we've had in Charlotte. The food was excellent, and we left both times excited to come back. Unfortunately, this Sunday's visit (around 2 p.m.) felt like a different restaurant. It was much busier, and service was noticeably lacking. We waited quite a while just to be acknowledged, our drinks weren't nearly the quality they had been before, and the Bloody Mary tasted like it came straight from a mix instead of being handcrafted like our previous visits. The food was also disappointing. It was much saltier than we remembered, and we never received the Caesar salad with steak we ordered. To the staff's credit, it wasn't on our bill, so we didn't mention it. Overall, no one was rude, but the attention to detail, professionalism, and overall experience that earned our previous five-star reviews just wasn't there this time.

They have cornhole and ping pong and just a fun atmosphere out there. Our server was warm and attentive. We did not have to wait for refills and she was quick to answer any questions we had. We started with a few apps - the chips and onion dip and the pigs in a blanket. The chips were well salted and the onion dip was DELISH!!! The pigs were wrapped in homemade party dough and came with a honey mustard crème fraiche. They were so good!! For entrees we tried the fried chicken, prime rib dip, and the meatloaf. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The mashed potatoes were so good too. The only misstep on this dish was the biscuit. Way too dense and not very flavorful. The prime rib dip was tender and came on the most crispy bread. What a great combo! The only thing that wasn't great were the fries, just nothing too special. The meatloaf dish was flavorful and came with those yummy mashed potatoes so great pairing. We didn't have room for dresser on site but we did take the monkey bread to go and enjoyed it later. Good portion size and full of apple and caramel flavor. Did not regret taking that home!! Really looking forward to this spot opening closer to home. Highly recommended

This place is definitely a splurge - for both the stomach and the wallet! But it is worth it, especially for such a special occasion. Be careful not to fill up on the cheese alone, because you could easily do that. Anyone who actually has room for chocolate at the end is doing something wrong! I enjoyed the assortment of fruits and breads in the first round, the salmon, chicken and steak all went great with the main course. And melted chocolate to top it all off - nothing more needs to be said. Service was friendly and attentive, especially considering we had 4 children all under 10 years old in tow.

My main issue is the ambiance is horrible!!! They painted the big wooden booths with this cheap sticky black paint that's slowly coming off. I was wearing shorts and it was PAINFUL if I got up too quickly. The lighting is cold and uncomfortable. It's not a welcoming place to dine anymore. A completely depressing environment.

I truly think it's the environment. I would hate working at such a depressing restaurant. The staff were attentive and consistently checking on us. They never left us alone for too long! There was one guy with glasses that was exceptional. He was great with the small details of serving. Always pre bused something from the table every time he came by. If you're smart you will bump his hourly and make him a shift manager/ trainer. The staff is the reason I'm not giving one star. Korean culture is vibrant and fun! Please hang up some art work and posters. Hire someone to remove that god awful sticky paint! Which I know you can't clean properly. Change the lightbulbs to warm lighting. Put out some fun decor on the tops of the booths. Make your restaurant into a place people naturally feel happy to be at. Paint over that black wall in the back and fill it from top to bottom with Korean art work as an accent wall! Or put in giant decorative shelves with plants and collectible Korean toys.

I've enjoyed Korean barbecue many times, so when I saw the price, I thought I had found a great midday option. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The happy hour kalbi turned out to be four small pieces of meat for $9.95, which I had to cook myself. A bowl of rice was an additional charge, and there were no sides, vegetables, soup, or salad included. I left the restaurant still hungry, which is never a good sign after lunch. What disappointed me most was the lack of guidance and hospitality. As someone new to Japanese-style barbecue, I asked a few simple questions to understand what I was ordering. When I confirmed this was the happy hour portion, the server said yes--but didn't explain the serving size or suggest additional items. A little coaching would have gone a long way. At one point, when I asked whether the meal came with sides like banchan or rice, I was told, "This is not Korean barbecue." I completely understand the distinction now, but the tone felt curt rather than helpful. Hospitality is about helping guests navigate something unfamiliar, not making them feel like they should already know. I also ordered iced water with lemon, and the lemon never arrived...only the ice water. Was this an omen of what's to come?? Another frustration was the parking situation. I paid for parking through ParkMobile outside the restaurant, only to discover after entering that parking validation was available inside. That information would have been much more useful if it had been communicated clearly before guests park or pay. From a customer experience standpoint, it feels like something that could easily be improved with better signage--lead with the good stuff. The location itself is also somewhat isolated. While technically in Uptown, it's not in a particularly walkable or high-traffic area, so most guests will need to park in a garage or pay for street parking. There isn't much nearby other than an apartment complex above the restaurant, which makes clear parking instructions and strong service even more important. To be fair, the restaurant was clean, and the meat itself was flavorful. The concept of Japanese BBQ is interesting, and I now understand that this style is very different from Korean BBQ, with smaller, à-la-carte portions designed to be built into a meal. That said, the overall experience felt transactional rather than welcoming. I left hungry--and disappointed--not because of the food quality, but because the service and communication could have been better at several points along the way. This visit felt like a missed opportunity. With a little more attentiveness, clearer guidance, and stronger customer engagement, the experience could have been completely different. Don't let one restaurant deter you. Life is short--get out there and eat.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

    Terrific dinner here Sunday night. My wife and I were looking for a special occasion-type dinner,…read moreeven though we didn't have one pending...Anyway, we are both francophiles, having both lived in France for a year (separate adventures - before we met). We both love French culture, and French cuisine, and the way it is presented and prepared. Coquette did not disappoint on either dimension. The food was delicious, meticulously prepared. Onion soup was just right, as was a cold shrimp appetizer. Scallops for main course were exquisite - done just right, beautiful presentation. Portions were just right, no doggie-bag needed, but fully satisfied when we left. The service was professional, just what you would expect in an authentically French restaurant. Prices were more than reasonable for the quality. Coquette does it right. Highly recommended, we'll be back many times! As a point of reference - we had dinner at a very high end French restaurant in DC last weekend while visiting. Coquette was every bit as good.

    Coquette made my birthday dinner absolutely unforgettable…read more From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel genuinely welcome, and every interaction throughout the evening was warm, friendly, and attentive. Don't let the location fool you - despite being in the middle of bustling Uptown Charlotte, Coquette feels like a cozy, delicious escape. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and comfortable, making it the ideal place to celebrate a special occasion. Our server, Francesca, was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, personable, and somehow always there exactly when we needed her without ever making us feel rushed. To help celebrate my birthday, she surprised us with a complimentary glass of champagne for a toast - a thoughtful touch that made an already special evening even more memorable. We started with the charcuterie board and the foie gras crostini, and both were incredible. The charcuterie was beautifully curated with delicious cheeses, prosciutto, olives, cornichons, and thoughtful accompaniments. The foie gras was rich, buttery, and perfectly paired with caramelized onions on crisp crostini. My Black Rose cocktail was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The combination of gin, thyme, blackberry, and botanicals was perfectly balanced - complex, flavorful, and refreshingly not overly sweet. We also enjoyed a bottle of Bezel Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles by the Cakebread family, and wow... what a fantastic wine. It paired beautifully with dinner. For our entrées, Shane had the perfectly cooked duck confit, served over a pesto of summer squash and eggplant that complemented the duck beautifully. He also enjoyed a side of garlic butter mushrooms... all by himself, because mushrooms and I have a lifelong disagreement. I had the lamb frites with eggplant caviar and eggplant fries - absolutely phenomenal. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. And yes... I actually ate a vegetable. Of course, we couldn't pass up dessert (we had to finish the wine, after all ). Shane ordered the apple tarte Tatin, which was absolutely fabulous. The apples were exactly what they should be - the star of the dish - and somehow made the buttery pastry feel almost guilt-free. I had the chocolate pot de crème... Magic. Rich, silky, decadent, and the perfect ending to an incredible birthday dinner. From the food and cocktails to the wine, service, and atmosphere, Coquette exceeded every expectation. Thank you, Francesca, and the entire Coquette team for making my birthday so special. We will absolutely be back.
