    Brisket Hot Pot
    Lupe M.

    Let me start this review by saying I'm not the biggest fan of Hot Pot. I've tried it a few times in the past and couldn't understand what the hype was. That was until I came to Chongqing. I can't remember the last time I was completely full and kept eating because the food was that good. Came in on a Tuesday night so the place was pretty empty. Needless to say service was on point. Very attentive and friendly. You order on a paper menu as you write and circle what you want. Fail proof system in my opinion. You also pick your size from small to large. We decide to order the Brisket Hot Pot and picked the large size as there was two of us. Once the pot came out we realized it was way too much food for two people. This wasn't including the extra sides we ordered. Everything came out fresh and in a reasonable time. The brisket itself was so tender it melted in your mouth. It would have been nice to know it came with potato's already cooked into the hot pot because I ordered sliced potato's on the side. The broth had so much flavor! I ordered in medium spice and it was the perfect amount of heat. Hot enough to make my nose running but still able to enjoy the flavor. One thing that really stood out to me was at the end of our meal we asked for a to-go container and our waitress came to our able to box everything up for us. She took her time and made sure she packed every item no matter how little or small the item was. In summary I'm now a fan of Hot Pot or I should say I'm a fan of this Hot Pot lol. I'll be back soon!

    Beef pot

    Real ones know you gotta call this place ChingChong Chicken Pot. Jokes aside, this is such an interesting concept (clay pot into hot pot), but it works well. I would get the beef clay pot again. The chicken clay pot is also good, but you have to deal with a lot of bones. Tho honestly, the clay pot will probably be 80% of the meal, so keep that in mind when ordering for the hot pot portion.

    Food is always 100/10. Every time I'm in Houston this is always one of the stops. We ordered the Medium chicken pot which was plenty for 4 people. You start off with a dry pot usually enjoyed with rice then when you're ready the staff will pour in a soup, converting it into a hotpot where you'll enjoy it with other ingredients.

    A unique experience with hot pot! You pick your dry hot pot dish (i liked the beef) and first eat it with rice. Once you're done, they'll pour the hot pot base in the pot for you and you add your veggies and meat like a regular hot pot (and cook it)! The dry pot flavor was very delicious. The only complaint was that the meat in the dry pot was non existent. The chicken dry pot had barely any meat (all bones). You also individually pay for the items you throw in the hot pot (not all you can eat). It kind of forces you to pay a lot for extra meat. Nevertheless, the hot pot was good. Service was good. The restaurant is smaller and has limited space. There is a little sauce station as well. Overall, it was a fun experience!

    I haven't been back here in about a year, and let's just say... I've missed it. I often get the frog pot, but I decided to try to garlic ribs this time. Amazing. Compared to the frog pot, it definitely has less bones. Plenty of garlic if that's what you're into. I love how there's a second course; hotpot! After you're done, they pour broth into the remainder and you can order a la carte hotpot items. If you're hungry and looking to eat a lot, this is the place.

    Hot pot a la cart items

    So Houston Chinatown has options ip the wazoo and my bookmarks for the area keeps growing and does not shrink. I saw this spot driving along Belleaire and it went on my list fairly quickly but I did not make the effort to come out. That is until one of my friends recommended it and shared with me that its sort of 2 meals in one (a dry pot to start that becomes hot pot). That sold me so I made my way. We came on a Friday night and surprisingly not busy so we were sat pretty quickly. Its a casual Chinese-decored spot and has the like... modernized take on old school China aesthetic..? Anyways my partner and I ordered the medium chicken dry pot and some various a la cart hot pot items for part 2 of dinner. I did find it odd that you have to pay for rice as I'm so used to it just being an unlimited carb at Chinese restaurants but definitely don't skip the rice. Regardless, the dry pot was very flavorful and I'd highly recommend adding the green peppercorns for that signature Szechuan numbing. Between the two of us, the medium chicken pot was already more than enough food but we still had a whole hotpot course. To start that, you just notify the staff that you're ready for hotpot and they'll come over with a giant kettle of soup to pour in your pot. Then you have a new hot pot meal and can order more sides. Theres also a sauce bar if you want to create a dipping sauce for your hot pot goods. As someone who loves hot pot, I really enjoyed the multimeal approach here and can see it being a really fun spot for large groups. The amount of food provided for the cost was fair and my partner and I ended up with lots of leftovers. I'd highly recommend this spot for anyone!

    Food: The Beef Ribs Pot was delicious! There was a lot of veggies and meat enough for 2 people. If you're going with 4 people, it will be enough if you all get rice as well. All in all, no complaints about the food--it was savoury, delicious and they even have an open sauce bar for your convenience (although I would argue that you don't even need it, even if you're doing the hotpot portion)! Service: Service was great! We went at a pretty slow time (around 4pm) and there was only 2 other tables beside us. The waiters always noticed when our water and soup bases were low--very attentive! Ambiance: Love! No notes, they even have a TV for your entertainment. There are a lot of tables with beautiful Chinese decorations. TDLR: food was enough for 2-3 people, waiters were very attentive and there is a lot of space for other diners. Would I come back? Yes, I would definitely come back!

    A unique dining experience that encourages extended meals and conversation. You start the meal off with a dry pot stir fry of your choice - definitely pay the extra $1 for rice cause idk how else you can enjoy the dish. You typically wanna finish the meat before moving on to the second portion of your meal. They will add a bone broth to the remaining veggies and sauce in your pot which now turns your meal into hotpot. The best of both worlds for people who want different meals for dinner. 5 sides for the hotpot and one small pot was enough to satisfy 3 people for around $17 per person after tip. A great place to catch up with someone, I wouldn't come here expecting a quick in and out meal

    Hotpot side items

    The interesting thing with this restaurant is that you start off with a main dish (chicken, frog, beef, shrimp, etc...) and after you're finished with the main dish they pore a soup base into the clay pot so that you can have a round of hot pot afterwards. The whole experience was worth the value. The price was not very expensive and left me feeling completely full. The flavor of all of the dishes were great. The establishment was clean and service was good. I would recommend and I would be willing to come back myself!

    Came all the way from Austin to Houston just to eat, and wow--I'm so glad we did! Austin doesn't have too many spots like this, so this was such a treat. The broth was absolutely packed with flavor--rich, comforting, and downright addictive. The restaurant was spotless (love a super clean space ), and parking was surprisingly easy, which made the whole experience even smoother. Service was a little on the slower side, but honestly, once the food hit the table, it was worth the wait. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I'm in Houston--highly recommend if you're craving something comforting and flavorful!

    Garlic ribs

    Chongqing has been a staple in my family for a while now. We've been here multiple occasions and it is phenomenal every time. The servers are pretty attentive, and it's a nice family vibe in here. You start off with a dry pot that is accompanied by a side of steamed rice. We got the garlic ribs on medium spice this time, and it was very good. The spare ribs were super tender and fell off the bone, while the sauce was very well seasoned which went perfectly with rice. After you finish the dry pot, you can request the broth to be poured in to make it a hot pot where you can order additional proteins like beef, lamb, fish, etc along with glass noodles, ramen and veggies. They also have a sauce bar where you can make your own dip for the hot pot. The bill came out to be $120 including tax and tip for 4 of us which is pretty good considering we were all pretty full.

    My partner and I ventured to Chongqing Chicken Pot on a Friday night when it was slightly cooler and we were in the mood for a warm, hearty meal. This is a cool spot in the plaza with Meet Fresh (has its own parking garage that is three levels) that serves "dry" pots with your protein of choice first, followed by adding broth to the pot with whatever options you want (veggies, noodles, more protein). We started with the chicken pot, which had tons of white and dark meat, a bit of spiciness and a slight numbing sensation, red onion, celery, and delicious whip garlic that absorbed all of the saucy goodness (even though it's a dry pot, it still has a decent sauce base, it's just not full blown broth). Pictured is a medium pot, which is probably too much for two adults unless you haven't eaten all day. We barely finished the chicken when we were ready for the broth to make it into a more traditional hot pot. Note that you select your hotpot options at the beginning so they come out well in advance of adding the broth. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and we certainly didn't leave hungry. Our servers were very kind and checked in frequently. And the price for two adults was quite reasonable when you consider we had 2 meals a piece. Give them a try when you're in the Bellaire/Chinatown area of Houston. Just make sure you come hungry!

    Broth added to the pot..Hotpot time!!!

    Controversial but gotta give credit when credit is due -- thanks to Mikey Chen, is how I found out about this place! I love dry hotpot along with Szechuan cuisine, and since Bay Area has just a couple places, I knew I wanted to check this place out (so glad I did!) We arrived around 6:00pm (get here early, it'll get pretty packed and then there'll be a waitlist!) and were able to be seated and started grubbing around 6:30pm We got the Medium Chicken Pot at Mild Spice -- very tasty and also it was perfect for SO who doesn't eat a lot spice, and the Medium was a great size to split among two average eaters! But, wishing I ordered a small now...because the remaining spices at the bottom of the pot...staff adds broth to it and ta-da, HOTPOT time! Ugh had I known the broth would be so delicious, I would've opt for a small pot lol Highly recommend checking out this place if you love Hotpot + Szechuan cuisine, it's located in a plaza with its lots of desserts too which is always a bonus!

I recently opted for the Diamond AYCE set, and it was hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've had.  The Diamond tier is worth every penny. It unlocks the entire menu, giving you access to the most premium cuts and decadent sides. Here is the breakdown of why this spot is a must-visit: The Meat & Seafood * Japanese A5 Wagyu: The star of the show. The marbling is incredible, and it literally melts the moment it hits your tongue.  * Australian & American Wagyu: Even the "lower" tier meats here are exceptional. The ribeye and brisket were fresh, tender, and flavorful.  * Premium Seafood: The Diamond set includes a fresh seafood platter featuring succulent lobster (Boston and Norway), sweet shrimp, and sashimi-grade salmon that was incredibly fresh.  Signature Sides & Appetizers The Diamond set isn't just about the pot; the appetizers are high-end restaurant quality: * Wagyu Bone Marrow: Rich, creamy, and decadent--a rare find for an AYCE spot.  * Foie Gras Toast & Wagyu Nigiri: These elevated starters set the tone for a luxury meal. * Truffle Wagyu Beef Don: If you have any room left, this bowl is packed with umami. The Atmosphere & Service The service is top-notch. The staff is attentive, constantly refilling broths (the Sukiyaki and Spicy Miso are personal favorites) and clearing empty plates without you ever having to flag them down. The 90-minute limit is more than enough time to get through several rounds of premium cuts.

The food was every bit as good. Houston also has an all-you-can-eat option, which I actually prefer. Instead of trying to predict your appetite and ordering everything at once, you can keep placing rounds throughout the meal. We took full advantage of that. The broths were just as rich and flavorful, the meats and vegetables were fresh, and everything tasted exactly how I remembered from Austin. Unfortunately... after we placed our final round of food, an uninvited dinner guest showed up. A whole ass cockroach decided it was his turn for hot pot. Not on the floor. Not scurrying across a wall. He confidently climbed onto our table and proceeded to do a full lap around the actual hot pot like he was making sure we ordered enough for everyone. At that point, dinner was over. Look... I live in Houston. I know we have roaches. But when one is comfortable enough to climb onto a customer's table in the middle of service, that's not something I can just shrug off. This one genuinely pains me because the food deserves so much better than a 3-star review. If I were rating the meal alone, it'd be an easy 5 stars. But sharing our table with a cockroach that looked like it had visited before knocked a couple stars off the experience. I really hope management gets the issue under control because I'd love a reason to come back. Until then... I'll happily make the drive to Austin.

I specifically asked our server whether we had enough time for the all-you-can-eat meal because I didn't want to feel rushed. She assured us we would have an hour and a half to eat and recommended that option, so we ordered it at $39.99 per person. Shortly after we started eating, my son stopped because he said the broth tasted overwhelmingly like MSG and made him feel sick. I wasn't impressed with the food either, but since we had already paid nearly $40 per person, I continued eating. Around 8:40 p.m. I asked for a bowl of rice. About 10 minutes later, after it never arrived, I asked again. The server went to the kitchen and came back saying there was no more rice because the kitchen had already closed. At that point it was only about 8:50 p.m., even though the restaurant doesn't close until 9:00 p.m. She also mentioned they had already done "last call," but no one ever informed our table that last call was happening. To make matters worse, I explained that my son wasn't eating because he felt sick from the broth and that some of the vegetables didn't seem fresh. Instead of offering a solution, I was told I couldn't order anything else, had to eat what was already on the table, and could be charged if we didn't finish the food. At that point there was no reason to continue the all-you-can-eat experience because we were no longer allowed to order. I asked for the check around 8:50 p.m., but was told to finish the food first. We finally received our bill around 9:00 p.m. and left still hungry and extremely disappointed. The biggest issues weren't just the quality of the food--they were the misleading expectation that we'd have plenty of time for all-you-can-eat dining, the kitchen shutting down before the posted closing time without warning, and the lack of customer service when problems were brought to the staff's attention. We left feeling hungry, disappointed, and unwell. Even an hour after leaving, I had already finished three glasses of water because my mouth and tongue still felt irritated after the meal. For $40 per person, this experience fell far short of what was promised. There are far better Shabu shabu/hot pot restaurants in the area. We'll stick to Shabu Zone and Shabu En from now on.

It is definitely spicy, but nothing that I couldn't handle. The Tomato Broth was delicious as well, but added a nice sweetness to our meal. We chose the Classic All-You-Can-Eat lunch deal, and ordered a plate of the Natural Prime-Aged Lamb, the Hand Sliced Beef Short Plate, the Marinated Garlic Beef, and the Pork Belly; I can't say I'm a huge fan of how they divided the meat selections, however, since I could get premium meat elsewhere without being limited. But overall, the meat was of decent quality, and the buffet offered various options. Compared to other hot pot places, they even had a section where you could serve yourself egg rolls, white rice/fried rice, and stir-fried noodles, though I can't speak to the quality... very much buffet-quality if you catch my drift, but still lovely nonetheless. Similarly, you can fetch your own iced drinks and dessert too. I do wish Happy Lamb's sauce station had special pre-made flavors or instructions for making them, much like Shabu Zone or Haidilao; sometimes I don't trust myself to freestyle my own sauce. There are some cross-contamination concerns as well, since there'd be about 4 tongs at foot/pants level, but at least 9 food options (e.g., noodles, dumplings, veggies) to choose from. Not sure if other people share the same sentiment, but I guess they all get boiled in the end anyway. Overall, it's a decent option if you're in Downtown Houston! But I wouldn't call Happy Lamb my go-to spot.

    I had such a great experience at K Pot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot! From the moment I walked in, I was…read moreimpressed by how spacious, clean, and inviting the restaurant felt. There's plenty of seating for groups, a nice bar area, and a sauce and sides station where you can customize your meal exactly how you like it. The menu is extensive, so there's truly something for everyone. I loved browsing all the options on the tablet and choosing different meats, seafood, vegetables, dumplings, and sides for the table. The hot pot was so much fun, especially cooking the shrimp dumplings, seafood, corn, and other ingredients right in the flavorful broth. The Korean BBQ was definitely a highlight. The steaks came out beautifully! They were juicy, tender, flavorful, and had that perfect sizzle from cooking them fresh right at the table. My favorite item, though, had to be the lobster ball. It was absolutely delicious and something I would order again. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Between the food, atmosphere, variety, and interactive experience, I had a wonderful time. I would definitely visit K Pot again!

    Had a great meal with friends on New Year's Day…read more The venue is older and needs a bit more effort on upkeep. It is eclectic, decorated in an Asian pop culture theme with [sometimes promiscuous lol] music videos playing on a big projector screen. And, it is honestly loud (booths are in rather close proximity to one another and there's constant clatter & commotion from the table action). We had a few issues - the grill didn't stay hot (either malfunctioning or low on fuel), there weren't any hot buffet options (like other locations offer), and a few menu items were unavailable (ran out) - but we enjoyed our meal, nonetheless. Even with a few missing offerings, there is plenty of variety - meats, seafood, vegetables, soups, noodles & rice. The sauce bar has many condiments & dips; you can play mad scientist with your seasonings/marinade. And, there was a cold buffet that offered kimchi and a few fruits. They also had a long list of beverages that included boozy cocktails and exotic smoothies or teas. Kevin was an outstanding server - extremely attentive & superbly patient (bless his heart for accommodating our rowdy and very needy group of newbies lol). He was assisted by a hard working team of table runners and busters who kept us stockpiled and refilled. The crew made sure things were never amiss. Some tips for first-timers: -The AYCE pricing is applied to the whole table, so you have to make a group decision if you want to do bbq or hotpot or both ($5 add on). -Holidays and weekends are priced for Dinner all day. -They don't take reservations, so there may be a wait (especially if you have a large group). -It is booth seating throughout, with a max of 6 people per booth. -You have a 2 hour time limit (which seems like a lot, but you do have to wait for meat to cook on the grill). Venue: 4.0 Ambiance: 3.0 Food (Taste / Variety) 4.5 Service: 5.0
