My friends and I love hot pot and have typically gone to all you can eat places in Chinatown, but we wanted to try something new and heard good things about Da Long Yi. We ordered the carnivore package where we could choose 8 types of meat, and also got some veggies. The lack of AYCE made this a bit more expensive than normal but the meat quality was really good for the price and we left very full and happy. The hot pot base is VERY spicy, even the mild version, so do be careful and I recommend doing a split pot so you can have a non spicy and a spicy version. read more

Finding this place to as a little difficult at first but with a quick phone call, they were happy to help. Ordered a couple meat dishes, the spicy tallow, veg with spicy oil med and tomato broths. Mild or spicy it doesn't matter because they were all super spicy but just what I needed. A couple friends wrote vegan andvegetarian so the triple split pot was good so that we didn't cross contaminate at all. The inside is a vibe with good Chinese art and trinkets as well with traditional plating and real wood carved chop sticks. The tea drinks were a bit too sweet for me but the iPad ordering system and attentive staff worked out perfectly. read more

Try: Pork Soup and Spicy Beef with Carnivore Meat Combo! Why: Solid Hot Pot in Chinatown! We did double soup combo with Pork Soup and Spicy Beef Soup based. I liked the Pork Soup more and even sipped on a bowl of broth at the end! Spicy Beef was really spicy, which my friend loved. Got the Carnivore Meat Combo with Beef and Pork Belly slices, which were delicious. Added Vegetable Platter, Ramen noodles, and Jumbo Shrimp. For sauces I enjoyed the Peanut and Hoisin Sauces. I liked they had tons of scallions and cilantro too. They also had seaweed appetizer and orange slices dessert. Had a fun meal with friends! Notes: We went at opening on a Sunday so it was not busy yet. Still made reservations just in case. We sat near the window, which had a nice view of Canal Street. Good amount of large table seatings for groups of 4 or more. Workers were friendly. They were not as attentive and I had to track someone down for more water. They also ran out of ladles. I appreciated the bag to keep jackets and bags to prevent smell getting in it. Bathroom was large and clean. Overall, good dining experience to celebrate the Lunar New Year on a chilly day. read more

The place is very compact. The table is barely large enough for 4 adults and we have to put our jackets in a black bag that keeps toppling over. The sauce bar is pretty limited. I came from AYCE lunch special on Thursday for $30 per person. It includes broth and soda. The spicy broth and pork bone broth was very good quality. It added a lot of flavor to the cooked items. The selection for AYCE was pretty good, but the quality of beef decreased as our meal progressed. I did like their fish balls with roe, very soft. Overall, I don't think I would come here for dinner but maybe a AYCE lunch with just one other person because the table was so small read more

It's more of a 3.5 star for me.. place is pretty nice,can be taken care more especially the front area. Service was excellent, servers were very nice and attentive. The food..hmm..it's alright. Soup was pretty good, but not very memorable, sauce was alright, meat and vegetable was quite good. But the overall food experience was just okay for me.. Not saying never, but unsure if I'll come back.. Didnt order any beverage,I ended up paying around $55 with tax and tips. read more

Very good ayce hot pot in China town. Lunch is super affordable. The soup base was good, not hi di laow, but still good. What was the real stand out was the meat selection! I'm usually not a huge fan of the meats at ayce places.. they're usually of lower quality... not here. They were really good. The beef with egg was on the thinker side and very good. The lamb and beef were delicious. The pork belly was the most disappointing... they greens were limited.. only 2 kinds, but the dumplings were yummy, the had most of the mushroom varieties... you can keep ordering on the tablet, and they're very efficient. The sauce bar is included and not an extra. The glutinous rice dessert can be skipped though.. come hungry. read more

My first hot pot experience, and it was great! Da Long Yi felt authentic, and we certainly got our money's worth. The menu here is quite extensive, you have your pick of meats, seafood, sides, and vegetarian options, as well as an assortment of broths to cook with. There were also desserts that sounded good, but we didn't have any room left to try them. There's a sauce station toward the back of the restaurant, it felt a little 'Red Lobster' in terms of the communal aspect, and got quite crowded during peak dinner. But it was nice to have good options for dipping. The food looked and tasted fresh, hard to hide bad ingredients when they come out raw for you to cook at the table! You'll probably spend around $50-60 per person for a good amount of food, not including drinks. Not a bad spot for a big hot pot meal! read more

Food: This is one of my favorite hot pot restaurants in NYC! I came for their AYCE lunch special for $29.99 per adult (children are $19.99). There are 52 items included as well as drinks (canned sodas) and broth. This lunch special is a great deal because one can easily spend $70/person ordering a la carte here. Without the lunch special, this place usually charges for the broth. Two items, beef with egg and handmade shrimp paste, is limited to one per table. Other hot pot items include chicken, beef, lamb, pork belly, fish balls, veggies, taro, tofu, fried tofu skin rolls, noodles, lotus root, quail eggs, and more. The lunch special is only for Monday through Thursday from noon to 3 PM. The last seating is at 2:30 PM. I would also recommend this place when they don't have their lunch special as long as you don't mind paying more. The quality at this place does make up for the cost. Service: Service was excellent here. The staff were attentive and so friendly. They came by to refill the soup constantly without me having to ask. Their iPad also has a button to call waitstaff which is a nice feature. Ambiance: The decor and feel of the restaurant is beautiful. Seating is comfortable and spacious. They don't seem to have big tables so if you come as a large group, you might have to sit at separate tables. Each side of the table has drawers for napkins and a side shelf/table in case your dishes can't fit on the table itself. A very thoughtfully designed place. Overly, I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

For quality the ingredients here are good. The broths are flavorful. It does get pricey when we order a lot for two people we've eaten about 150-200 for two people. Have not tried their special pricing yet. read more

We went during lunch on a weekday for AYCE. It was very empty, there was only one other table. The ambiance was very nice. The staff was also very nice, especially the girl that helped us that day. The guy was nice too but he was too soft spoken. We were not able to hear anything at all. To start off, I want to say that the AYCE menu is tad smaller than their usual menu but I do not have a problem with that. It makes sense. We asked for the spicy broth and the pork bone broth. Both were very nice. The spicy broth got too spicy real quick and the girl helped us scoop out a bowl of the oil. I enjoyed it but I also suspect that it was the spice that left me in the bathroom for days (first time ever happening to me though. I have had the mala broth choices at other hotpot places). At hotpot places, I always go ham on the fatty beef. The quality was quite nice. I also liked their soybean sticks. They were veeeeeeery smooth, like a baby's butt. I was only sad that they did not have watercress here nor enoki mushroom. Those are usually must-haves for me in terms of vegetables. I would come back again for lunch if given the opportunity. Too bad sneaking out of the office is a bad habit. Don't learn from me. read more

A very good hotpot restaurant with friendly staff and a good range of vegetarian options. The ability to order from a tablet at the table is super convenient. They have a great range of meats, veggies and tofu. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans too. The ambience is pretty standard for a downtown Chinese restaurant, know this place gets busy! read more

AYCE with limited selections in meat and seafood. However the quality of meat and veggies were good. The ambient and service, ordering process were excellent. A la cart ordering comes with bigger portions. overall I recommend the place. read more

I love Hot Pot . I first tried the one in LIC queens and instantly hot pot became my go to restaurant for special occasions. This location menu has a wider selection including alcoholic drinks. They have a lunch special meal $30 one person and it includes the broth !! U can't beat that read more

Good stuff! Went in for the Ayce deal on a weekday and the food filled me up. Would consider coming back to solo dine next time since the portions are pretty great for 1 person. I know they should be known for their hot pot but their fried mantous in condensed milk was OOF. Each serving comes with 3 mini mantous so order away if you like fried mantous like I do. P.S you can ask for aprons if you don't want to get your clothes dirty. read more

Da Long Yi Hot Pot - Pork bone and tomato soup. I only remembered to take a pic after I was done eating - Hot Pot Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped by for lunch on a rainy Sunday. We got there pretty early (right when they opened) so there were plenty of seats available. Decor inside is nice and clean (the ornate style that a lot of Chinese restaurants have nowadays). Overall, our meal was pretty good but just rather pricey. Some highlights: The prime beef slice might have been one of the cheaper meat options but was really good, def just get this. In contrast, we also ordered the angus rib eye which was rather dry and not that flavourful. Fish tofu was nice but really quite pricey for just 6 pieces :( Same comment for the fish roe balls that we ordered, too. The veggie platter was a decent variety/amount of food, but if I were to go again, I'd probably choose to order specific veggies I liked instead (platter was quite expensive for the amount). I liked the broth - we got half pork leg bone and half spicy - which was really rich and aromatic. To be clear, I do think everything tasted fine. The price point (if it's not clear already) is just definitely on the high side - it came out to be ~$50 per person for the three of us :\ I think hot pot is getting more and more expensive nowadays so perhaps I have some acclimating to do, but I'm sure there are just as good and cheaper options available still. read more

Came here on a raining Saturday for lunch, and it surprisingly wasn't too packed. This is actually one of my first few times getting non-AYCE hot pot. There was a pretty large variety of items to choose from, they had all the classic items I usually order and my group even chose some items I'd never had before. The quality overall felt pretty good, although some of the cuts of beef we ordered was a little on the tougher side. Service was also amazing and incredibly friendly, it probably also helped that the place wasn't too crowded. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner in their "VIP" room, and had such a blast! They have a wide selection of drinks (I'd recommend the Lunar lychee hard seltzer!). For hot pot, we got the triple base option (one spicy, two nonspicy) and a bunch of meat and veggie dishes. All the ingredients were super fresh and delicious! My favs were lotus root slices, taro, and fish balls. The service was excellent - the server even put all our jackets and coats into a plastic bag ahead of time to avoid getting the hot pot "fumes" over them. Because it was my friend's birthday, they also came in to surprise her with a neon lights birthday sign and a song. We also tried some of their desserts including a really good sweet soft tofu soup. read more

DLY is a chain from China, but Haidilao it is not. I wouldn't even compare the two, but they're kinda gunning for the same vibe with the elegant, modern decor and set-up. We got the Double Flavor Spicy Beef Tallow and Pork Feet soup bases, though I mostly avoided the former because I wasn't feeling like purging my insides for the next 48 hours. But even if I had, I don't think I would've liked DLY's version, which was way too oily even by mala hot pot standards. The Pork Feet soup was fine, but not distinguishable from every other version I've had. We split the Value Combo for 2, which would definitely not be enough food if both of you are starving. We tacked on taro and winter melon as well. Everything was fresh and prepared well, but no different than any other upscale hot pot spot in the city. My main gripe was that at 5:30pm, they were already out of several of the base items, forcing us to have to pay extra to choose something else from within the Combo options. And there are a lot of upcharges if you want something even slightly better. Total bill was $69pp. I've paid less for more. At least Haidilao gives you ice-cream. read more

Update: Ordered delivery via Grubhub and got the beef mala tang with few additions. I've been to this restaurant before when it first opened. They're known for their spicy butter hot pot, which was really spicy even at the lowest spice level. I was glad they were available for delivery since I was craving mala tang on a chilly night. It hit the spot and portion size was big. It came with ingredients to make your own dip but wish they also gave chili oil. The food was still warm when I got it and enjoyed it with a glass of beer. read more

This was by far the BEST experience everyone in my group has had. Everything at this place is clean, well serviced and the staff is AMAZING. Everyone is so quick and competent. We enjoyed the information we learned and now we know so much about foods we've never had before. We were accommodated so well in this place, they switched our table just to make us more comfortable and they explained everything we ate. If you haven't been here and are debating it please come! My advice, try anything because it's all good! The vibe is great, you'll become closer to your friends. It's definitely a great place for groups or dates. 100% recommend on all levels. 5/5 on everything Thank you SO MUCH to the staff for having us. Treating us so well and giving us an experience we will never forget! Ps: there's mouthwash in the bathroom and phone chargers. Very effective. Thank you! read more

We came when we were in New York recently and had never had hot pot before. It was an enjoyable experience and the food was good. I like spicy food and so the soup was great but I will also admit that had i gone up their spiciness chain, it would've been really tough. I think my favorite meat option was the like milk-soaked steak, it was super tender. I would return, especially now that I have a bit better idea of what I'm actually doing. The sauce station as well had a bunch of great flavor-enhancements. read more

This is not AYCE style hot pot, just fyi. I walked in on a Saturday for lunch and there were plenty of open tables. Overall, I think it's good, but there were fewer side selections, and it's more expensive than other hot pot places. I don't think the quality is any better than AYCE places and those places are a much better deal (the bill was pretty spendy for two people!) I'm glad I tried it though - I just think I'll stick to AYCE. Notable things to mention: -They give you garbage bags and a trash can with a lid for your jackets. LOVE THIS. My jacket had zero hot pot smells! -At least from what I saw, this is communal hot pot versus each person getting their own. -There is a sauce bar. -The fish roe dumplings and rice cakes are really good. -This is a good place for spicy lovers because there are various intensity levels for their spicy soup base (ranging from hot to very very very hot!) read more

First time trying hotpot and I have mixed feelings. There was 3 of us and we got most things on the menu. We tried Veg Oil Spicy, Beef Tallow Spicy and Mushroom Bens pot. When they said it's spicy on the menu, they mean it! I usually love spicy, but regular spicy made me sweat so much and abandon the beef tallow pot fast. Hands down the mushroom is all I will get next time I visit! We got Value combo for 2 - get the Cheese Beef ball for extra charge, you'll thank me! Meat ball platter was just ok, but it let you try the assortment. Cheese meatballs are the best! Get the Milk Ice Jelly w. assorted for the table. It helps you cool off if you get a spicy pot and it's just delicious in general! When we paid the tip field was 18%, 22% and 25% - I suggest you change that 18% to 20% or just add a 20%. That was unusual. Although the wait staff hardly interacts with you. read more

Situated in Chinatown Manhattan, Da Long Yi serves classic Chinese hotpot in a vibrant Chinese style setting. Service was friendly and efficient, and it was super convenient to be able to just order everything via an iPad at the table. While the food was good, I don't think the meat quality was high enough to justify a la carte ordering at dinner. For the amount I'm paying, I would've been happier if this was also an AYCE place at dinner given the AYCE quality of meat they serve. read more

Beware of the spicy hot pot! I love hot pot and this one felt very authentic, the selection of beef was amazing and the broth was delicious. I will say, be mindful of the spicy broth and the spice level for them, it is indeed spicy, like nothing I have ever had so I would recommend to ask for the lowest spice level and go up from there if you feel like you can handle it. I had a great experience, easy reservation and was seated right away. Overall the staff was very nice and service was quick I would've loved for someone to guide us through the ordering though. Food was great but like any hot pot it is a bit pricey. If its your first time, I recommend you do some research on the best way to enjoy and ask your servers for guidance so that you have the best experience. read more

Lowkey a bit expensive for hot pot ($50) but the quality was undeniably good. I also left reasonably stuffed and severely dehydrated, which is always the gold standard for hotpot-ing. Presentation was next level and the servers were super attentive. You order off of an ipad which generally just makes everything easier. The coconut chicken soup base and the medicinal soup base hit like grandma's cooking. The Chengdu spicy was not bad either, but definitely needed to order extra extra spicy. Highlights included the beef medallion (so juicy and tender), the ice jelly (mf best dessert on the menu, lychee jellies and red bean hit the spot), the fish balls with roe (ate two generations of nemo), and the shrimp balls (the salted egg yolk center was like a phoenix bun?). Other things we ordered include the lamb, you tiao (yum), frozen tofu (soaked up allll the hotpot soup), and black tripe (ok...was tasty but nothing special). If it's your birthday, they give you cold noodles and a taro tofu pudding (delicious, especially the spherified taro popping bobas) for free! read more

I didn't realize the AYCE option was only available for lunch, but we got the value combo for two and an extra order of pork intestine which was a perfect amount for us. We were able to get a pretty last minute reservation on a Saturday night despite what seemed like a packed space. read more

Beef was very chewy, even the machine cut meats were too thick, all broth were under seasoned. I've never had to add salt to meat before and I get hotpot twice a week. The service was good overall but they never replenished the mostly evaporated broths. Also the price for the a la carte felt high, especially for the fact that there was no hot bar with little fried treats or seasoned rice you usually find at more pricy spots (or just most places in flushing). Llyou can easily end up spending $70 pp for two meats, a starch and a veggie. The ambiance was nice I will give it that, as well as the food presentation, but on taste alone I likely would not return. read more

While trying to stave off the heat from the intensely spicy vegetable oil broth, we debated how one should rank the quality of a hotpot restaurant. If the quality of your meal is poor, isn't it because you undercooked your vegetables and overcooked your noodles? We decided that it really comes down to the restaurant's infrastructure - the vibe, sauce bar, and quality of ingredients. On these fronts, Da Long Yi delivered. I enjoyed most of the different tofus I tried, and the slow-boiled yam tasted amazing with a thick peanut sauce after cooking in the spicy broth for 20 minutes. I do wish they had more noodles than just the udon on offer. The vibe is fun and casual - although Chong Qing Lao Zao remains my sole 5 star rating in the city, and it's hard to beat them for interior decoration. read more

Great service especially same day booking and give us bags to put away our coats. They are a bit busy thou and it seems like always crowded. Food is high quality and it would be nice to know what people favorite. We just went blindly on our order but we did well. The 3 soup basis is definitely a good idea since the spicy is well very spicy. Ambiance is nice. We had enough space to eat and move around. Unlike the all you can eat place, they don't squeeze you but you do pay a few dollars more in the end. I prefer this way. read more

Food 8/10 Definitely more expensive than the hotpot locations in Flushing, but it is a lot closer because it is located in Manhattan. The meats are fresh, but the selection is more limited. Good soup though, you can't go wrong with coming here, it'll just be a greater hit to the wallet than if you made the trek to Flushing. Been here a few times and it's always been a fun time. Atmosphere 8/10 Cool interior, classic hotpot vibes. The sauce stand has plenty of choices and some fruit too. Service 8/10 Appreciate the aprons. I need it whenever I eat hotpot. Fast and speedy, and you can find the menu on your phone but you still have to order with a waiter/waitress, unlike many of the hotpot spots in Flushing, where you order from an iPad. read more

Terrible experience. The hot pot took forever to heat, service was slow and wait staff were not helpful.

The service here is amazing, the meat choices are great, but the could be better. Came here with a group of friends and really loved the ambiance of this place! It's so cute and clean and the ordering online makes everything easy. Service was top notch and everything came really fast. I really enjoyed the mild spicy soup - I love spicy food and wanted to get the signature spicy but actually mild was really spicy! Fair warning it's way spicier than what most people would consider mild. Sauce options galore, and I just want to underscore how great the service is. I would return for the ambiance, meat options, and the service alone! read more

Hot pot chains from China really are stepping up their game. Da Long Yi has been in the US for some time but we never got around to eating here since Chinatown is a bit of a trek. The place is a lot smaller than some of the newer hot pot restaurants but the food here is good. Broth is flavorful and the meat quality is good. What I liked best about this place was the service, which was excellent. Prices are about what you expect from similar places and I'd probably wager that this is the best hot pot restaurant in Manhattan Chinatown. Thumbs up. read more
