This was my first time eating hot pot so I wasn't sure what to expect. I picked the mushroom soup base with beef and my boyfriend got one of the spicy broths with seafood. Our meat choices were brought to us a few minutes before the broths arrived at our table and there was a plentiful selection of veggies also. I added noodles from the self serve bar and it made for a plentiful meal. read more

This place was really really great! I would recommend the Szechuan broth even though it's the spiciest. Eggs, noodles, and sauce are free/unlimited so take advantage of that! As someone who is not amazing with spice (I can handle it but not to ridiculous levels), it was not bad at all. If you get lettuce/spinach as a side and let it soak in the broth, it is going to be pretty spicy - but for meat, mushrooms, etc. it is perfect! It is pretty expensive, and I would NOT recommend getting the combo. I got that the first time I went and it was way too much food. They bring you the meat and a sample tray of veggies/meats/other foods and it was more than enough. It ended up coming to around $18 and I only finished just over a half of it. If you know what you like, pick your broth/meat and a few other items and hopefully save some money! read more

Went in on a Sunday for lunch with the boyfriend, we where quickly seated given menus and water, it was instant swear I didn't even see the women do it. We must have looked at the menu funny because she explained how things worked. She even helped me with my noodles and make my dipping sauce. It was fantastic! Our food came out quickly, I got the pork with tomato broth, the bf got beef I don't remember his broth. We will be back for sure and very soon. read more

We love this restaurant! The food is delicious and the employees are very, very nice! Pan and everyone there are wonderful. So very gracious and sincere! Their restaurant is warm and cozy with warming pads right on the tables. Very unique and efficient. And we're excited because they are now in a great location close to us, on S Park St, right next to Pick 'n Save. Try Double 10! You'll love it, too. read more

Newbie to Hot Pot (so much that I had to look it up on youtube!), but saw the fun reviews from fellow yelpers and thought "I need to try this!" I admit I was scared about the "cooking my own RAW chicken meat" (from one plate, touching everything under it, to the reusable soup, one set of chopsticks that touch raw, soup, and cooked) without any friend there to "hold my hand" - I mean I was FREAKED. But everything went well and I had alot of fun. So for those of you new like me and without a guide: 1) You sit down and pick soup base + meat choice. ASK to sample the broth before choosing. 2) Your soup base is just for cooking - you're NOT going to pour it back over noodles. 3) As your base warms to boil, go to the condiment buffet and pick up stuff you would like. I had done some youtubing beforehand, so I used a couple of sauce recommendations from there, but really my favorite was the (only) one the restaurant provided (on the glass of the buffet server). Another one I liked is a "traditional" sauce from some province in China: 1 ladle sesame paste + 1 spoon chive paste. 4) While your base is still warming up, or if you took forever to get your "extras" like me, I added scallions, chili oil, cilantro, and garlic. I wanted to "spruce up" the mushroom base soup. It smelled fine, but I do like a "little" heat (like a level 1 on 5). The yelpers scared me on the heat levels from the "Kimchi" and "Szechuan." Someone mentioned asking for a level one, but this was not an option during my visit. My extras on the "mushroom" broth ended up perfect for me. In fact, as a salt loving American, once the broth condensed a little, it was a knock out! 5) Next, add hard veggies. Now there are NO signs to tell you how long to cook anything. I think I let the broccoli cook for 4-5 min - a tad too mushy. The corn was 20 min - ok. The fish and shrimp balls, fried tofu, soft tofu were 1-2 min - they were fine for me and surprisingly tasted better than the chicken. "Fish ball" sounds "fishy" to me, but they were flavorful and a nice chew (kinda like a softer matzo ball). I never used the soft veggies (leaves). 6) Then, the meat. The server mentioned 30 secs - 1 min for the raw chicken slice. It does change color enough to notice if it's still raw, but I made sure to kill it a little extra. Chopsticks: to kill the chicken bacteria, redip the chopsticks in the boiling soup. In fact, I LEFT them in the boiling soup for the 1 min that my chicken was cooking. The fake crab and some weird white shaved "fish" (?) slices took about 20 sec to cook. I was NOT coordinated enough to time all this perfectly the first time out, so I just cooked one or two things at once then ate as they were coming out (Redip those chopsticks FREQUENTLY). 7) Once I got all my goodies cooked and eaten. I went for the ramen noodles (2 min), adding fresh chili oil, scallions, garlic, and cilantro for the cooking and post-cooking. By this point the corn was ready, and I added it to the noodles. Great noodles! 4/5 Cons: Contrary to other reviews, on my visit, there were no eggs and no fresh fruit. I wish they had an extra list of how to make sauces - since we did go to cook our food, I like having recipes! I would also like something to tell me how long to cook the items. Again the recipe thing. Lunch price has increased (from yelp reviews) - $12/person + $1.50 for a can of coke. Overall: Fun and tasty. But it's only as good as YOUR cooking that day. 3.5/5 Ps. for those of you like me, I did NOT get food poisoning! read more

Great place to eat in the Madison area. Love the staff and food taste great! The portion has decrease over the years as owner changes. I wish there are more quality vegetables as before and generous amount for the price! read more

The quality of food is good. I got the lamb with the Thai broth. It wasn't very spicy but they allow you to control the flavor with the dipping sauce. They have unlimited noodles but not a huge variety. I would come back. The only negative is the price is on the high side. read more

I came here with a group of 7 for lunch on a Sunday. We arrived right when they opened at 11 and they were able to accommodate our large party; otherwise it can get pretty crowded. All of us ordered the lunch hot pot special. You can choose from a non-spicy mushroom broth or a spicy Szechuan broth. Each person has their own hot pot and burner. You select a protein (chicken, lamb, beef or pork) and it comes with a giant plate of veggies and other goodies (fish balls, rice cake, tofu, enoki mushroom, etc). You only get about 6 slices of meat but it's more than enough. I think I was the only one who finished their whole plate. In addition to the meat and veggies, you can get unlimited noodles (there are 3 different kinds) to cook in your broth. There is also a condiment bar where you can make your own custom dipping sauce. All of this came to $9.95/person. It's a really great deal for lunch, plus cooking your own food is kind of fun! read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - Hot pot lunch specials - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Just moved from California to Wisconsin, and suddenly missed all of my asian food back home, especially hot pot! This is the only hot pot in Madison so I decided to take a risk and try it out! This is very close to the real deal as you could possibly get. Ordering is not as confusing as you think. You just pick your broth, meat, veggies. And then you make your own dipping sauce in the sauce station. Service was great. I mean this is not as great as what I eat in CA but I am definitely not complaining, this will be my go-to restaurant for when I'm missing home or just a great place to eat when it gets colder. read more

As a Chinese myself, I gotta say they serve some authentic northeastern Chinese dishes there. Besides the hot pot has been decent if not the best. read more

Atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired (strip mall) but the service is good and the food was great. We were new to the hot pot experience (first time) and had no idea wtf we were doing....not much assistance was offered (would be great if the menu had a bit more information about etiquette or directions/procedure). Despite that we both managed to make absolutely delicious dishes and were pretty proud of ourselves! Would definitely be a fun activity for a date night if you're okay with the fact that you might makes asses of yourselves. read more

We moved here last year from Los Angeles and overnight our diets changed. It's not that I don't love your fried cheese curds, Wisconsin, but I miss the comfort foods of home. While we found good tacos here within a week or so, finding real hot pot seemed unlikely. We saw the sign for this place go up a month or two before it opened, got excited but didn't want to give our hopes up. But it ended up being exactly what we'd hoped for. This place is a dream. Delicious, reasonably priced, exactly right. While I still miss the variety you get at Little Sheep-type hot pot in LA, I definitely don't miss spending 30 dollars a person. Mini Hot Pot gives you a big platter of veggies and tempura and rice cakes and endless noodles at their noodle bar. Go for the spicy broth, it's the tastiest. Their sweet potato noodles (vietnamese) are my favorite. And I love the new coconut broth because you can flavor it and spice it however you want from the spice bar. The service is super-friendly and everyone is so helpful and patient there with questions. Every time we go, it's like being a little closer to home. I hope they keep getting the recognition they deserve. read more

This was our first experience at a hot pot restaurant. The waiter was extremely helpful and patient with us! We really ebuoyed the meal and can't wait to do it again. I had the crab legs. I made a mess with them, bit they were delicious. My daughter had the seafood combo. It had octopus. Squid, fish, shrimp, etc. She said all the fish were good, my husband did the pork combo. Everyone enjoyed their food. I highly recommend this place! read more

Very tasty hot pot and dinner had huge portions. Lots of selections. I had the kimchi hot pot. Lots of stuff to cook in it and noodles to finish it as a soup. I second Vicki T's vote for great place for cold weather. Slow meal taking with friends over steaming pot of broth. read more

I went here for dinner and lunch. For lunch it was great! Prices, quality and food were superb. We came back for dinner, but I wanted a lunch special item. I asked if it was possible to make it for us, and the waitress special ordered it for us! I will definitely come back and recommend this place to all of my friends. Wonderful service :) PS she also called me beautiful while I was extremely sick! read more

I've found my hot pot go to spot! Great variety of broths to choose from and plenty of protein, veggies, noodles to keep you happy. The owners are so accommodating and polite. Love this place! I usually go for the mushroom broth with pork combo. The make your own sauce buffet is awesome. I've already been twice and will most likely be returning weekly. read more

Delicious! The hot pot experience was new to me so this was a fun find. Easy parking with the parking lot. Affordable especially for the amount of food you receive. Most of all, the meal was delicious and the staff friendly without being overly attentive. read more

Awesome place! Really liked the mushroom broth. Motivated us to buy our own hot pot, though, so not sure how often we'll be back... it's a bit expensive to eat it outside. Love the humid, warm, atmosphere in here though, esp. in winter! read more

It was my first time here so the waitress helped us out on what to to order. The soup base was super good. There's a open bar for the sauce and noodles, all you can eat noodles! I would totally recommend this place! read more

Came here for my first hot pot experience and it did not disappoint! I do recommend getting the spicy broth as my husband tried the mushroom and was underwhelmed ... so he started just cooking everything in mine since it was super yummy! They have a sauce bar which had plenty of choices and I enjoyed making different dipping sauces to find what I liked best. The meat was great quality and they give you a small variety plate with your order of other items to sample as well. We ended up ordering extra mushrooms and broccoli after having the sample! It did seem a little bit pricey compared to other places where I had seen hot pot on the menu but we left happy and stuffed so can't really complain. Will definitely be back when I'm in the Madison area! read more

The owner helped us make an awesome sauce at the sauce bar. The favorite broths for our family were the Szechwan for those who like it spicy and the Korean Kimchi for those who like it flavorful, without the heat. For 2 adults and 2 teenagers, we ordered Two Dinner Combos and we each got our own broth. We thought we would then add on with side orders if needed, but this filled us up plenty with the extra noodles available at the sauce bar. We even had a couple containers to bring home. Not bad to feed all 4 of us dinner for $40 plus lunch the next day. The owners and their daughter were just great. We were celebrating a birthday and they noticed and commented on it. Looking forward to a return visit. The only bummer is that the tables are barely large enough to hold a drink, the platter of food to cook and the cook top. A bit of a juggling act, but worth it! read more

This place rocks - staff are friendly, owner is super helpful and the experience of dropping your food in your own "Hot-Pot" is super cool and fun. I can't wait to get back here and try another dish! read more

Delicious authentic food, great atmosphere. My current favorite restaurant. Bring an appetite and a desire to try something new! You will not leave disappointed read more

The food is delicious. I've been a few times now and I haven't been disappointed. The flavors are rich, the sauce bar is fantastic and the stovetop tables make it fun to eat. read more

I love hot pot and this is a great place for it! The woman running the place today was so helpful with helping mix all kinds of yummy sauces. She was great and the food was amazing! Highly recommend! So many choices of broth!!! read more

I honestly love this restaurant. I come here probably once every two weeks or whenever on a rainy day. Service is great. Family owned restaurant. One of the owners is a woman that always works in the front. She's awesome! Probably the sweetest lady ever even though she doesn't speak much English. The food you get is at a great price & good quality. You also get an unlimited noodle & condiment bar. Whereas many other hot pot places I've been to in the past, you have to pay extra for noodles & sauces. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Fun place. they give you a ton of food and the noodle/potato/sauce bar helps to minimize clutter on the small tables. if you like spicy, i would go for either the szechuan or the thai style broths. i was curious about the coconut curry broth but it was underwhelming. spent too much time trying to add various sauces and spices to the broth. would be curious to go back to see if they would give me a bowl of mixed coconut curry/thai shrimp broth b/c that's what i ended up doing at the table. read more

Brought my three children for a Sunday night meal and we were so happy with our dinner. Even our I-hate-soup 9 year old loved the food. The proprietors are friendly and the service was great. read more

Wow! The owners were so helpful in taking our orders and kindly answered every question us newbies asked. I ordered the coconut broth (yum!) and my companions ordered the mushroom and kimchee broths. We were wowed at the 3 huge plates of broth additions (we could've easily shared one plate) Very fun to try the different noodles and sauces. The bubble tea was delightfully unusual but fun to sip on. So much food I had to ask for a take home container which fed me for 2 more meals. I will definitely be back! read more

Best hot pot in town! I recommend the mushroom both hotpot with the seafood option. Large portions if you order the combo. Overall, excellent food and service for yourself or family. read more

Great food! The owner is so sweet and always check up on our table. My daughter was throwing tantrums and he came over to talk to her in a very friendly manner. Will be returning! read more

By far one of my favorite restaurants in town! I'm sad that their prices went up right as we went there but it is still so good! It's hard to find hotpot in America and this place really hits the spot! The family is super nice and the atmosphere is chill. The mushroom soup base is my favorite. It's a really nice touch that they give you unlimited noodles so you never leave feeling hungry (I seldom can finish all the food they give me). You would be missing out not to come here. read more

Good, simple food. Since I've never eaten anything like this before, the staff was gracious enough to explain everything down to what some of the was and how to cook it! Excellent! Easy to get to and a local feel. read more

F*CK YEAH MINI HOT POT! I went with a friend one week night and we were the only non-asians. It is called mini hot pot because each person gets their own hotpot instead of sharing. I was not used to this so my friend and I shared one small hotpot. We got 2 kinds of meat and a veggie plate and it was too much food. There is a buffet area set up where you can help yourself to every delicious asian sauce imaginable and extras like various noodles, cilantro, eggs, and orange slices for dessert. The sauces are for you to mix in your bowl to make a special sauce to dip your hot pot items in after they have been cooked in the broth. Overall an affordable, fun and delicious experience! I will be back! As others have mentioned, the owner is very nice. I have had hot pot in China and this is definitely on par with that! read more

This was a lovely find. We'd never had Hot Pot before but I've always wanted to try it. Passing through Madison, we found this place on Yelp. We were not disappointed. The staff was kind to us newbies and the food was delicious. We had the Seafood and Chicken Hot Pots with Mushroom broth (our kiddo isn't into spicy sadly). Great experience, would highly recommend. read more

Yes. Just yes. The broth choices are great, and they have plenty of great a la carte options. I am particularly delighted to get the fish tofu here. read more

This was a wonderful experience. The people that owned double ten bought mini hot pot and are now offering both at this location. We did not try the hot pot, but instead ordered off of the traditional Chinese menu. We shared six dishes, and each one was absolutely perfect. My brother has traveled through China, and this is definitely the most authentic Chinese cuisine we have tried in Madison. Go give it a shot, you will not be disappointed. read more

Amazing place with friendly helpful staff! I've never had a hot pot before but as a lover of Pho I had to try this place! The veggies are fresh and the broth was on point! I'll definitely be back!!! Happy I found this place to eat at while working in Madison! If you're even thinking about this place as an option just try it you'll thank me! read more

Double 10 Mini Hot Pot - Soooo good!!!! - Hot Pot Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Vincent is the gracious owner of an authentic Hot Pot. The broth was exquisite. His family arrives in the early morning to prepare the delicious broths. I suggested buying whole carrots to juillene, instead of the little finger ones, my only issue. His wife helped me mix a sauce up and gave me pointers on Hot Pot eating, very cool. I got the mushroom broth with veg. Plate for dinner and was very happy. read more

I visited this place during lunch special time with my wife. We ordered $10 lunch special. My wife ordered beef with hot soup. I ordered lamb with curry soup. The restaurant does not look any fancy and nice. However, the table top warmer was good and the lunch was incredibly good. Also we could bring noodle, additional veggies and sauces from the little bar. The meat was fresh and the soup tasted good. The visit surely changed our best Chinese restaurant selection in town. read more
