    Pineapple fried rice, served in a real pineapple!!
    Kristin A.

    This restaurant serves the best Thai food in northeastern Connecticut! Everything I have eaten here has been so delicious and fresh. It's also the only Thai restaurant in the area that does Thai hot pot. They have a selection of traditional African dishes too. I may try those next time. Currently they do not serve alcohol but it's on the menu, so at some point I think they will get a liquor license. They haven't been open that long and I think they're still trying to figure out the service aspect of things but I am willing to overlook that because everyone who works here is very nice and the food is so good!

    Great food, service is great, I have't had anything there yet I didn't like. Fancy presentation of food. Wish it was a little more cozy inside. Slightly pricey but worth it.

    Great Crab Rangoon! Best I've ever had! Cute and homey space, along with a great server! Thank you.

    The food was well flavored and cooked correctly. Fun menu to try some things that are not common in the quiet corner.

At Hungry Pot, we're dedicated to delivering an unparalleled dining experience. Savor our vast selection of premium meats, seafood, and vegetables, expertly prepared to showcase the authentic flavors of Korea. Our passion is to provide exceptional customer service, ensuring every guest feels at home. Whether you're gathering with family, celebrating a birthday, or hosting an event, our warm and inviting atmosphere is the perfect setting. Join us on a culinary journey, and discover the unique charm of Hungry Pot. We can't wait to welcome you!" This is basically AYCE hogging or BBQ for$35 each (dinner). BBQ is a little extra. For my drink I'm having a Long Island Iced Tea. The Long Island iced tea, or Long Island ice tea, is an IBA official cocktail, typically made with vodka, tequila, white rum, Cointreau, gin, and a splash of cola. Despite its name, the cocktail does not typically contain iced tea, but is named due to having a similar amber hue as iced tea. This is the only drink here I really like. You can taste the alcohol in this one! The GM really likes is! He stopped off a complementary mixed drink. It's a raspberry vodka. That was very thoughtful! For my broth, I'm getting the Szechuan Spicy pork broth. As you can see, they other a lot of vegetable and meat choices! There is an also a huge salad and sauce bar for your appetizer, hot pot sauce and dessert options. I'm having a second Long Island Iced Tea. God help me! This is the best drink here. What a great place!

It's all you can eat so don't expect 5 star service all the time. If you don't know the workers, they don't care about you. I notice that. Crab legs you have to order with the iPad now and crawfish is still unlimited and good. However I never know which beef slice I'm getting. Even if I order ribeye the second order doesn't look the same or taste the same. They mix ribeye and brisket all the time and I hate that. I use to rave about this place but only come when you crave it. Service has gone downhill

The quality is above average, something I've had a hard time finding recently with AYCE establishments. Service is great. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we got all our rounds in, even though we were dining close to closing. I didn't feel rushed out whatsoever and appreciated how the portions are reasonably sized. They don't overcrowd the table and make you more mindful of how much you'll order next. The individual pots are a huge plus for me. Everyone gets their own broth to cook whatever they want within close reach. The DIY sauce bar is only icing on the cake! Shabu will fill you up, especially on a cozy winter night. If you're looking for the best season to try, though I'd argue shabu always hits year round, take this cold RI winter to give this place a go.

We got to chat with the owner Ping very nice gentleman originally from Hong Kong. He came to check on us to make sure everything is good that we like the food. Because it's late there's only one chef in the kitchen, the food still come out fast and excellent quality. Very good service, our server is very busy cleaning up the restaurant while still refill our water and tea and comes over to clean our table. Very polite people here. This is the best Cantonese dinner restaurants in East Coast, forget about going to flushing ny or Brooklyn if you want authentic good Cantonese food, get the real one here. Reminds me of Hong Kong Chow fun is fresh homemade, i've never had better one!! We ordered beef chow fun. Beef with bitter melon so flavorful tender beef. Steam fish fillets so yummy why something so simple so good!! 京都骨 pork chop very light batter sauce not over sweet like those in flushing/Brooklyn, no red coloring added. To die for!!

I could literally eat my body weight in these! Pro tip: dip them in the spicy Chinese mustard & then into the duck sauce - sweet, heat, crunch... perfection! Just be warned, it is very easy to fill up on these before your meal even arrives! From the dim sum menu, we ordered the deep fried taro dumplings, steamed shrimp dumplings & our favorite, stir-fried Chinese broccoli with garlic. I wish we had more people so we could order more dim sum items to share! From the regular menu, hubby ordered the lunch combo #14: jumbo shrimp with vegetables, golden fingers, fried rice & egg roll. He loved it & said he would definitely order it again. Golden Palace is an easy add-on if you are at Mohegan Sun! Bonus: dim sum is available daily, which is always a win in my book.

My only negative comment, the appetizer/ sauce bar that I was critical of in September hasn't changed . Management really needs to change that set up. It's just not hygienic, when you lean over the get a plate or bowl stored under that bar, your face is inches away from the unprotected buckets of sauce, it's not a good set up and needs to be changed. It's not like fixing this set up would cost a lot of money to fix and it really should be changed immediately.

If you never have done it, I'd say a quick google will help you out prior to arrival. We did both BBQ and Hot Pot which was only $5 more for the combo and felt totally worth it. I loved the healthy herbs base for hot pot. We tried a huge variety, the bulgogi was our favorite and we loved the sauce bar. Definitely worth a visit if you want to experience dinner vs just eating it.
