Had somewhat of a wait, so prepare to queue outside in the sun! Food was good! I recommend the premium cured meats, and the wagyu beef! Both are flavorful. Skip the chicken and mushroom. It's pretty flavorless. Love the combos they give. The tea is so good and the mushroom soup is also good! The veggies are all good choices. Love that it's no tip. The place is a little cramped. The service is standard. I'd come back if I want a quick cheap meal! read more

This clay pot restaurant opens at 11am. You order at the register by the door and then sit down at any available table or seatings by the open kitchen, where you can view the clay pot rices being made. I went close to opening, just before the crowd, and was able to get a table with my friend. They have a self-serve condiment and water station. They have both cold water and hot water. The condiment station has pickled radish and spicy sauce with little bits of green beans in it. There is also a rice cooker with rice in it. I think customers can get more rice if needed. I didn't need more rice. The chopsticks and spoons are in the hidden drawers in the table. You just pull out the drawer. I got 2 clay pot rices: the Chinese sausage, and the chicken and mushroom. They come with 2 pieces of bok choy. It comes in the clay pot if you dine-in. They don't give you a bowl, so you just eat out of the clay pot. The sausage was sliced in thin pieces. Pretty good, but I like it a little bit thicker chunks. The chicken and mushroom one was good too. By themselves the flavor is mild, but you have to add the spicy green bean sauce. This IS the sauce. So delicious. It makes the dish. I don't really know what it is, but it has bits of chopped up string beans and soy bean in it and has a spicy kick. Not too spicy. 1 little jar was empty and 1 other little jar was almost empty when I went to get more for my table. The pickled radish is really good also. I refilled that too. When you get to the bottom of the clay pot, you can pour some hot water into it. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just enough to cover the remaining rice that is stuck to the pot. Leave it for a few minutes. Then scrape it with the spoon shovel. Add the spicy green sauce. My pot was nice and crispy. So it was delicious. I cleaned the pot. I was so full. The rice and flavors are slightly different than some clay pot rices I've had, but overall with the spicy sauce, it's quite tasty for dine-in. You leave everything on the table and someone comes around to pick up the clay pot. It's a no tipping required restaurant. They have congee on the menu, but it was not available when I went. They also have specialty soups. read more

My friend was saying this place is better than a competitor's location: crispy rice, great flavor, black bean sauce with ribs is amazing. While waiting to place an order to go, I was impressed with the food that the customers were eating. I placed an order on black bean pork ribs claypot rice to go and was told it would take 20-30 mins. If you pay cash, you don't have an extra 3% credit card fee. Waited 25 mins and the food is ready. It smelt good. The food picture and the menu picture looks very different: lacked 1 stalk of leafy green vegetables - more like the corn, carrot, and green peas, no black bean (definitely no sauce) and no crispy rice at all. Highly disappointed, since it had no flavor, it was bland. Guess I have to try it in the restaurant and decide after trying it "right off the stove". read more

We ordered two combos (each comes with soup + veggie): Premium Chinese Sausage Claypot The Chinese sausage leaned noticeably sweet, which I enjoyed. The preserved pork belly was sliced very thin, though some pieces still had cartilage. Overall, it was solid. Chicken & Mushroom Claypot The chicken pieces were quite large (all dark meat), making it very juicy. However, the mushrooms had an extremely strong, pungent flavor -- I suspect they used rehydrated dried shiitake. It was a bit overwhelming for me. Overall, just okay. Snow Pear & Pig Soup This was easily the star of the meal. Sweet, comforting, and surprisingly delicious. It even had snow fungus in it. Honestly, it could pass as a dessert -- one of the best soups I've had in a while (not including my parent homemade soup) Mushroom Pork Rib Soup Not bad at all. Solid flavor and packed with plenty of pork ribs for the portion size. Chinese Broccoli & Blanched Lettuce Pretty basic veggies. Nice that they come with the combo, but you probably don't need to order them separately since the claypot rice already includes Shanghai bok choy. Chilled Okra This was fine if you like okra. They comped it because our food took over 30 minutes. Side note: Since they're brand new, patience is key. They had enough staff, but the servers were walking around asking customers for their table numbers -- even though the restaurant is small. A bit chaotic, but understandable for a new place. Final thoughts: The claypots needed a bit more time on the heat -- there was zero crispy rice at the bottom, which is honestly the best part of claypot rice. The rice was fine, it wasn't mushy, but it didn't have much flavor either. The soy sauce was doing a lot of heavy lifting to hold everything together. Would I go back? Yes, but not anytime soon. There's definite potential here once they smooth out the kinks read more

Been wanting to come here since I first saw the signage that they had on the storefront. So I went today with the wife and the food was great. The Rice in the claypot was perfectly cooked and the meat was so tender. The crispy rice crust was perfect for me as sometime other claypot rice I had in the past was too thick and sticky but not here is perfect for me it had the best amount of crunchy. I highly recommend when you put in the soy sauce to start mixing the right and making sure to get the rice crust off the bottom of the pot as it will be harder once it cools down. We recommend to get the put with everything on it as that was we had and it was perfect. We also had the soup which honestly was really good is very flavorful and the broth was very clear. The sitting was very tight due to the amount of customer there was in there but the employees responded to us pretty quick to get us seated when they had tables open. The decor is very modern for a claypot restaurant. Everything is so fresh and hot that I definitely recommend coming in and having a claypot rice when is cold outside because it definitely will warm you up. read more

Over the weekend, drive past by the restaurant and saw a long line. Out of curiosity I decided to come on a weekday to try their claypot rice. Upon entry, you stop at the cashier/hostess where you place your food order, pay & then sit at a table with your assigned number tag. Is a pretty simple menu with claypot rice choices à la carte or in combo. It's a no tip policy and not a place to linger. The place is not large, with simple picto decor describing the fresh ingredients used in rice. Claypot rice alone ranges from $15-25 pending on the topping you choose. Once we seat, drop off your bag, take off your jacket and go to the self serve station to get pickled radishes that will go wonderfully with the claypot rice and cup of water. They do have a free drink options but very limited. We decided to order mushroom chicken claypot rice & Chinese sausage special claypot rice. Since everything is prepared as ordered be ready to wait 10-20 min. As soon as the rice arrived, we poured in the soy sauce in a jar in the table, hear the sizzle, mix & enjoy. It was nicely done though nothing to brag about. It would be a place where I have to be in the mood for this to stop in. read more

We came at opening and snagged a table without having to wait. Offering quick service, you have to order and pay first at the front. Overall, taste is what you'd expect. But if you're looking for that nice crispy rice that comes with the claypot rice experience, I will say it's a bit inconsistent depending on the toppings in your bowl. read more

The food was great and the interior was clean, but they really need to improve the ordering and dining experience. We arrived 10 minutes before they opened in a Saturday. Getting seated took a while since some guests don't know how to order on their phones, so they have to order and pay at the counter before they are seated at a table. The people who know how to order on their phones using a QR code are left waiting until they are seated. They really need to have a better order management system. The claypots took 20 minutes to arrive. Guests got their food out of order, even if they ordered the same thing. Also, my claypot arrived 10 minutes after my friends' claypot. I really think the dining experience can be improved overall. Thankfully, the food was good and fresh. The mushroom pork soup tastes just like the one my mom makes. You also get a LOT of rice, so no complaints there. Just go when they are not that busy if you don't want to deal with the long wait time. read more

Came around 2pm on a Sunday and waited about 20 minutes. There's no real waiting area, so be prepared to stand until your turn. The ordering process is a bit different: you order and pay first when you reach the front, then get seated. Food takes about 10-15 minutes to come out, which is pretty reasonable considering everything is made fresh in claypots. The combo is a great deal--it comes with your choice of claypot rice, a lemon tea or soup, and a veggie side. The space itself is pretty small and simple, and interestingly, there's no tipping expected. Food-wise, the signature claypot rice was definitely the standout--super fragrant with that classic crispy rice at the bottom. I love the mini shovel spoon to scrape it up. Also tried the eggplant rice, which was flavorful and well-cooked. Overall, really tasty and worth checking out if you're in the area but just be ready for a bit of a wait and a tight space. read more

My friend and I happened to walk past this place on our way to TP Tea, and we saw a line outside and immediately got curious. I looked it up and saw that it was a new restaurant, and it looked so good! My quickly switched our lunch plans, and I got in line while my friend waited for our bubble tea. The line moved pretty quick actually! We got the premium chinese sausage combo and the braised eggplant combo with the snow pear & fig soup, mushroom pork rib soup, blanched lettuce, and chinese broccoli. The chicken was so tender, and the chinese sausage added a nice sweetness. I didn't expect to, but I actually liked the eggplant claypot rice more. It had a nice sauce to it already with a good amount of ground meat. The snow pear soup wasn't my favorite. It tasted like a light dessert soup. The mushroom pork one was much better. Overall, this was such a good find! I would definitely come back here. read more

Came here for the first time today with my mom. It's a small space and was very cramped and crowded, no real waiting area. But the line seemed to move quickly, and we waited around 20 minutes on a Sunday evening. You sit and then make your order and pay using a QR code, and the servers then bring the food to you. We ordered the kelp salad (which really was just seaweed salad), the signature claypot rice (which was delicious! With a little sauce, there was just enough toppings, bok choy, and the rice was perfectly chewy and crispy on the bottom). We also got the mushroom and snow pear soup, both of which were tasty. The snow pear soup is mild and full of dates, pear, snow fungus and longan. The fried pork was crispy and a relatively small portion. We didn't get to try the dessert today, and they also ran out of the Chinese broccoli and lettuce. We would definitely come back! read more

The waiting area was cramped during busier times and queueing for a table next to dining patrons felt a little awkward. The operations could use some work, but overall was streamlined as you pay and order prior to sitting. The clay pots were similar aside from the components; the spare ribs were probably best while the chicken was texturally rubbery and the abalone was a little dry. The bottom rice crust had the requisite crispness. Overall decent and serviceable. read more

Opens at 11 am. It is best to get there 5 mins before they open. It gets packed easily. 2 ways to order your meal are with a QR code on the table or from the waiters, and they will bring it over to you once it's ready. I got their Signature claypot, which had one of everything--chicken, chinese sausage, chinese pork belly, pork ribs, salted egg yolk] in it. It's also self-service on water and some side dishes like their pickled vegetables. But the downside about it was there wasn't any crispy rice on the bottom of the pot, and it's a bit pricier than other places too read more

A newly opened clay pot spot in Flushing and it's no tip??? Of course I had to try. I was a bit intimidated by the line but honestly it goes really fast. The line basically is just to order and pay and then you get to get seated right away. They're able to seat 40 people per hour so the turnaround is quite fast. The space itself is quite small and the tables are squished next to each other so it may not be the most comfortable. We ordered two clay pots to split between the two of us. The flavor of the meat and eel was delicious. I also loved how silky the chicken was. Unpopular opinion, but I actually don't prefer the bottom of the clay pot, but I do have to say they had a wonderfully crispy bottom. We also got the fried pork and that was perfectly crispy and seasoned. I definitely will be back. read more

I went there because I suddenly fancied eating claypot rice. The price is probably reasonable. I chose "Chicken and Chinese Sausage Claypot Rice" ($15.99 on June 13, 2026) --- not their "Combo". Water and some radish appetizer was freely provided. The food is good but not excitingly good. It's like just cooking rice and chicken and Chinese Sausage together with no extra taste or "magical chemistry". Half way into eating, I realized that I could add some soy sauce. I arrived just before 11 am and yet there was already a line. They advertised that they don't charge tips and paying by cash can save the 3% credit card fee. read more

Claypot King serves delicious, fresh claypot dishes that arrive steaming hot. We also ordered the combo claypot, vegetables, and soup, and the prices were reasonable. The restaurant is small and feels cramped, especially when customers are lining up to order, so the layout could be improved. There is a display window where you can watch the claypots being cooked, which is a nice touch. The prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty. However, it is a bit too rich and fattening for me to eat all the time. No tipping required. read more

This is a busy shop on the corner of Prince and 36. The place is packed during dinner hours into the night. You have to wait to order your takeout. If you want to eat in, you can order first then look for a seat or order at the table. They has a good selection of clay pots u can order. The signature dish is chicken and sausage. We decided to try the chicken and mushrooms, black pepper and beef (wagyu). You can order your clay pot with veggies and or a drink. There is a whole list of add ons. Note- make sure your clay pot has all the ingredients listed. My beef was bland and no black peppers. That was very disappointing!!!! As extras they have water hot or cold, marinated radish and carrots, spices, extra rice. The place was nicely decorated with cage covered lights and a big screen tv displaying the food they make. There was a counter one can sit at or a bunch or tables for 2 - 4. No really big tables. read more

it is hard to accommodate a huge party but it was doable. we ordered a great amount of dishes, honestly they looked the same except the wagyu beef that we ordered. wasnt much taste to it if you didnt use the soy sauce. we got there around 6 and they said they ran out of the combo, we were looking forward to the combo as it comes with the soup and veggies. then an hour or so later, we noticed someone else had the soup so we decided to ask again if the combo was back. so they knew we were trying to order the combo but would be nice if they tell us they made more soup or could even tell us that they will be making more soup. after 5 pots later, we were still hungry so we decided to order the combo. the soup was actually pretty good, you can taste the ginger in it. the claypot was definitely not filling so if you have a large party you might have to order more than one per person. we went when it was probably the opening so they have a line, but it isnt a wow we might have it place. read more

Solid Chinese claypot restaurant! The lines were long around lunch time, but we were able to put our names down while we explored other parts of Flushing.

Once seated we got our orders fairly quickly. Totally self serve considering utensils were in the table drawers along with water and spicy pickles for the taking. We tried the special, one with sausage and the other pepper beef. All were good, but I'd suggest against scraping the crispy rice from the bottom into the mix. It was too hard and stuck into our teeth alas making it unpleasant to consume with the soft rice read more
