All-you-can-eat seafood spot in Brooklyn. Overall, very spacious, never felt rushed. They had very nice touches, including bibs and gloves to make sure you stay clean, bags for your clothes so that they don't get splashed on or get smells trapped in. The drinks and ice cream/desserts also help yourself, plenty of wet wipes to clean up. But most importantly, the food was so fresh and incredible. I've never had actual live shrimp before and will admit was a little nervous when they started jumping around. The star of the show is the fresh crab, offering a luxurious taste without the hefty price tag. For a sashimi lover on a budget, the quality here is a pleasant surprise, rivaling that of more expensive sushi bars. It's a delightful experience to enjoy high-quality sashimi without the worry of overspending. Wrapping up the meal, the brown sugar grass jelly with peanut and mango dessert is a standout. It's rare to find such a sophisticated and satisfying dessert at an AYCE restaurant. This sweet finale is not just an afterthought but a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality across the board. For a frugal foodie in NYC, this place is a gem, offering an experience that's both wallet-friendly and deliciously memorable read more

AYCE hot pot in Sunset Park that offers bevy of seafood choice, including bottomless Sashimi - we had three orders. You can pick up to 2 broths so we had duck and short ribs which were both excellent with lots of herbs mixed in. Just a few of the great meat and seafood selections include Argentine shrimp, snow crab, and lobster. They also have live shrimp available so if you're squeamish I suggest skipping that one or asking for the dead ones. Durian fans, take note, they serve unlimited fruit here too as well as durian desserts. I enjoyed the different mochis but note they are filled with flavored whip cream, not bean paste or ice cream. Service was spot on - they took great care of us though I had to get up to refill cold water myself. Overall, really great experience and suggest coming with a native Mandarin speaker. read more

I took my dad here for his birthday and it was best seafood hotpot meal they have had in a while! Everything was fresh and the staff were friendly and attentive! They already have a great amount of unlimited seafood, but they also offer additional special platters depending on your group size! For example: we came with 4 ppl and they offered us a complimentary geoduck sashimi platter! We had way too much seafood! But it was amazing!!! If you don't like seafood, do go elsewhere in the neighborhood! Because the price reflects what you are getting! There are definitely cheaper options with lesser seafood options! Hence, if you do love seafood and can eat a ton, this is hands down your spot. Unless you can name me a better one... I'll wait... read more

Flaming Mountain Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a party of 8. They didn't have a room or any rooms as a matter a fact. Seats were too close to each other. The table was too small. Couldn't fit all our plates and drinks and foods. The AC was not strong enough, considering you're eating HOT POT. Sweating while eating . Service was mid. Food took a bit longer to come out but i guess it's ok. our stove after an hr of eating ( no idea why ) Let's get talking about the food, there's a variety of options from seafood, meat, vegetables, and types noodles. Although there were specific seafoods that you CANNOT ORDER MULTIPLE OF TIMES. Such as Abalone and geoduck sashimi. The food quality is not great in my opinion, you cannot taste the broth, the food is not extremely fresh. the enoki mushrooms was not super clean. The sashimi platter they gave us was mad small. It may seem big but 90% all ice. I didn't come here to consume ice. I expected more. 4-5 pieces of different kinds of fish and literally 8 oysters (one per person) man, I can go else where to eat the more for a cheaper price There was all you can drink but not as many options. They didn't have bottled water Overall, I don't recommend this place especially for the price. $58.99 per person after tax and tips is about $75. You can definitely find/ get better food at other hot pot restaurants. (Also, they have a grade B for food inspection ) read more

Flaming Mountain Hot Pot - Sashimi and oysters - Hot Pot Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

the most competitive price for AYCE seafood in NYC. currently lunch only $48.99+tax+tip, includes really large selection of seafood , sashimi and oysters. there are different types of shirmps including live shrimps. if you are fan of durian they usually have unlimited fresh cut durian and durian desserts. The service usually really good, fast and attentive, our plates were changed very frequent and refill are also super fast. The only problem this time is that I got upset stomach after the meal. The blue crab I ordered definitlely not fresh, i had one and it smell terrible and even the broth smells after cooking the crab. it was the last thing i put in so i didnt have to deal with the smelly broth. read more

My first visit to this hotpot spot. It was decent. Pros -Free Parking is very nice since finding parking in 8th ave is always a struggle - AYCE for $58.99 pre tax and tip. Total $77 pp with everything - Unlimited drinks and durian if you are a fan. My friend is a durian lover so I am sacrificing myself for her lol - Seafood options were pretty good. Portions were smaller but I'm ok with that because I prefer to try more different things vs having too much of one thing -Very good service. The server was very attentive and always refilling soup and food for us Cons - No individual hotpot. It's one large pot split with 2 broth selection. This is okay if no more than 4 people otherwise it's not hygienic - The dessert options was ok. I wasn't impressed with the mango pudding or brown sugar pudding. The mochi is ok but my partner loves it so it's alright. Personally I'm a big fan of Laojie's dessert pudding - The broth wasn't flavorful. I picked the pork bone broth and it was ok. - The seating is very limited if you bring more than 4 people. All the tables fit max 4 to be comfortable. We saw the 8 seat table and it was very tight. Overall, if you are a seafood and durian fan then this is a good spot to check out. FYI, if you pay with cash, you get some other sushi options. If you have a friend's birthday, then in order to get some discount then you need to pay with cash and have at least 3 people as well. Always bring cash to get perks!!! read more

Unusual name huh? Weird Chinese people lol Some very good pros about this place. Free parking out front but you may be asked to move your car later if someone needs to get out. Service was good - I've never had a hot pot place where our server actually pushed us to order more. The froth was occasionally removed from our dual broths (which is included in the price). Non-alcoholic beverages were self serve and included. The online menu is pretty extensive even though the English translations of ingredients aren't very good. However, most people we interreacted with were pretty Tri-lingual (Cantonese, Mandarin, and English). Sauce bar definitely needs English labels. Other pluses is that you get an option of having a Sashimi platter (which was just ok - the oysters on it were placed vertically so no more juice) or lobster which is also unheard of, but may be because the restaurant is fairly new as this offer isn't written anywhere I don't think. But I think the biggest plus is the unlimited snow crab legs - which is what a lot of old Chinese ladies really go for because it's "the most expensive thing". I also asked if they have a birthday offer and it's 50% off for the birthday person, and they'll sing for you which is nice. Definitely a solid option for Hot Pot. read more

Love this place. A good variety, mainly seafood. It's a bit pricey but since they have a good variety of seafood, it's worth it. They also have a promotion going on at the moment with $10 off during lunch time. They have great desserts available as well and a good variety of drinks. They also have sashimi available but with a limited variety of fish and ayce oysters! Place is clean and the sauce area is also well maintained. The servers are attentive and very friendly. The place is bright and tidy so I was able to see what I have inside the pot. read more

Flaming Mountain Hot Pot - Abalone soup base and spicy soup base Free lobster - Hot Pot Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here a few weeks ago and was super excited to try another premium hot pot place. They had big shoes to fill considering how much I love Chongqing Wharf. First off it was really difficult to communicate with our server because we are Cantonese speaking and she was mandarin speaking. English also didn't seem to be much of an option. We opted to pay credit card so we got the conch raw items for free. If we paid cash I think we get something else for free but didn't understand what she was saying. The seating wasn't the best because we only got one pot with two soup flavors to share, so each person didn't have their individual pot. The items come out really cute in these gridded boxes but it made the table really tight and limiting in how much can be at the same at a time, the rations were also rather small given the gridded boxes. I did enjoy the variety of clams they had - razor clams, (Atlantic and pacific) and also I think steamer clams. The clams were all really good. Abalone came with the free items as well and boiler was really good. We ordered a ton of snow crab legs but they were so frozen it wasn't enjoyable...until we started boiling them in the hot pots. It didn't have a strong soupy flavor so it ended up working out but we only started doing this towards the end. At Chongqing they come out at the perfect temperature to slurp right away. Dessert was a legit drumstick ice cream if you asked for chocolate. If you asked for strawberry I think you get a strawberry bar with no noticeable brand on it. Overall service was pretty good but I left somewhat wanting more. read more

So this place been opened for a few months. Wanted to come and try. The AC wasn't working and it's super hot in here today. The service is decent. With the waiters/waitress being attentive and bringing what we asked for. But the food quality was really just mediocre. This place charges $58 pretax pre tip. Super expensive for low quality food. read more

Very good food and service. Excellent seafood and meat variety. Really enjoyed the experience.

The food and experience here was one of the culinary experiences of my lifetime. Never has such diversity been on my plate in one sitting, and we relished every delicious bite. From the outside, I was totally skeptical of the restaurant, and inside, Kevin made us feel so incredibly welcomed and introduced us to the restaurant's concept. From there, we tried things that stretched our comfort zone and were thankful we did. Can't wait to come back soon! Recommend to anyone with an open mind! read more

My new favorite hotpot spot!! I got the Special Mushroom broth (my favorite) and the Pepper Pork Tripe broth. They were both very flavorful, even though I prefer the mushroom one a lot more. Everything was very fresh and the service was better than expected. The waitress came to our table multiple times to skim off the foam, and checked if we wanted to add anything else to our order. I also loved the pumpkin cake appetizer - ended up ordering them three times! I was worried about parking, but the restaurant had parking spots for customers and there was actually a lot of spots around the area. The interior design is also very modern. Would definitely come back to try their other broths next time! read more

This restaurant just opened up in my neighborhood. I've always been weary of new AYCE places but I took a shot and decided to give this place a try and boy was I GLAD to have eaten here!! An amazing assortment of all you can eat seafood, awesome herbal teas in the fridge including a ginseng tea that really makes you feel younger as you sip it. An amazing atmosphere with beautiful decor. The crab legs were amazing , and boy did we keep them coming. Definitely an going to revisit this restaurant!! read more

This's 4.5 rounded to 5. Finally got to try this ayce hotpot. They have live mantis shrimp! I haven't had it for years lol. If you're a seafood lover, this is the spot for you. They probably have the most varieties on seafood among all the ayce. Meats were super fresh too. We were so stuffed. Btw, there're unlimited bottled drinks in the fridge for anyone to grab. Service was excellent. Wait staff did not hesitate to tell us the freshest to order. They even scooped out all the foam in the soup a couple of times without us asking. Indeed a great option for those who're doing a low carb diet. read more

First of all, service is top notch!! All the waitresses and waiters are tentative and polite. They change your plate constantly and refill your napkins and wipes. Food is FRESH!!! I think that's the most important part you need to know, especially for AYCE hotpot. There are so many hotpot places in Brooklyn, but nothing comes close to the freshness of this place. My favorites are their LIVE shrimps, clams, conch, fish fillets, and celture (veggie). We're definitely be back very soon!!! read more

Highly recommend flaming mountain hot pot! My gf and I have not had hotpot before and the staff was super patient and friendly offering suggestions and recommendations. The food is excellent, you can get anything from lobster to vegetables and high quality sashimi - you will not leave hungry. The vibe is great, even though it was our first time here it definitely won't be our last! read more

I came on a weeknight so there was no wait at all for dinner. We had a great experience, mostly attributed to the friendly waitress who spoke both English and Mandarin/Fuzhounese. She was very accommodating and attentive and we even got to try a new appetizer that they were testing: fried salt pepper shrimps. The fried wings were decent and tasty. There were a few dishes that were not great but overall we had a good meal, and the price was a hefty price tag but I guess is standard for AYCE premium hot pot. I did feel a mix of temperatures from hot to cold and the booths were a bit awkward to sit in due to the bulkiness of the hot pot. The drink station was decent as well, had a fair variety. read more

When we went it was 11:50 and they close at 1 but they said the kitchen was closed so we could get something to eat. They were saying that we could get any food to eat. read more

Came here with my husband as we saw there was no waitlist. And honestly, I can see now why there is no waitlist. Their AC system is almost non existent . They even had to have portable ACs throughout the restaurant and it did not help with the heat that was circulating from the pots. I was unable to enjoy my meal as I just wanted to finished ASAP and leave. For the price you pay, the options you get is pretty mediocre. They did not have much drinks selection as well. Only positive thing here is probably the parking here. read more

Amazing menu and quality! No. 6 Port Hotpot is a successor of 18 Hipot., which is a business that didn't make it through the pandemic. But that's okay, they were resilient and opened up in a new location with a broader menu and kept the quality. Asides from the food, you will also appreciate the decor. The cost per person is about 50% higher than the rest of the AYCE, but it's within reason. They have a large variety off seafood offerings and drinks is included (non-alcoholic). Rooting for their success! read more

It's actually super tight and cramped in there. Only enough room for 1 person to walk through the aisles. The food is mediocre and does not match the price point. Got the herbal and tomato soup base. The tomato soup base tastes like ketchup with water, no flavor at all. The drink selection is a joke. Plenty of other hotpot spots around that are better than this place. read more

Their service was great. Had a great selection of food too. Their crayfish for appetizer was not that great though.

I visited this restaurant with a friend. We found the food to be okay, but nothing special. There is about 1-2 servers per table, mostly speaking mandarin. After we were seated, a waiter with multiple hickeys asked us cash or card, which I found to be very rude. We didn't even order and it feels like they are demanding a payment already. Additionally, servers miss our order SEVERAL times. Very awkward having to reorder multiple times for the same items..... the labels at the sauce station is not clear. Everything is in Chinese only .... Laojie offers better service, similar food choices and price is a fraction of this establishment. read more
