First time getting hot pot and I can say for sure that I won't be getting it anywhere else than here! Hotpot express has amazing quality fresh ingredients and an amazing staff. We went for a family's birthday and the owner made sure to make it feel special! I've never seen any other restaurant treat their customers as good as Hotpot express did! I wish I could give it more stars! read more

First time to try hotpot express. Didn't know what to expect. I came with 2 of my daughters and granddaughter. She like the shrimp and the Bok Choy. We got the 3 different broth. I wasn't too impressed with it. We had the spicy and beef broth and and regular. We got the beef, bok choy, cabbage,fish ball, vermicelli, noodle,dumplings. It was okay nothing special. You get the veggies,noodles and meat selection from a refrigerated vending machine. It kind of costly. It came out to more than a $100. read more

This was genuinely the best experience I've had at a hotpot place, I like to go get hotpot on my own but get super anxious with how crowded it is, but this place was so chill and the dude that works there is hella nice. The food was SO GOOD and it's self serve so no wait time on toppings! I highly recommend eating here! :) read more

Meant to update this sooner but kept forgetting. Gave this restaurant another chance and the experience was so much better. Been there a few times since and I've completely changed my feelings about this place. The owner is really nice and genuine and I really believe it was just an off night because every visit after has been great. read more

My husband and I dined at this place last night and I am giving it 3 stars for the service and the really good taste of the broth..However the lack of options of veggies to add to the hot pot were disappointing. We really wanted a wide array of veggies and proteins and they came up short. We will keep searching for a better option. read more

Great service and friendly staff. The food was great. I need to try everything and just haven't gotten the chance.

Came here for my 18th birthday with a few of my friends and had a blast. The owner was so nice despite my awkwardness and super generous. The food was delicious, we couldn't get enough. Definitely will be coming back for other birthdays yet to come and if I'm ever craving some yummy hotpot. (I downloaded yelp just to give this review) read more

Delicious food with lots of options. They are really nice and friendly. Always remembers our family when we come in. Will come back again and again. I love this place read more

Very good food and owner is very kind. My husband and I will most definitely be coming back

While driving around the Sacramento area in the evening looking for a late-night dinner spot, I happened upon Hotpot Express. Hotpot Express provides an innovative take on the traditional hotpot experience in which diners can select their broths (up to 3 different broths can be chosen) and then select their hot pot contents from a self-serve refrigerator. Diners are charged by the plate with each colored plate representing a different price point. They provide a medium-sized selection of noodles, vegetables, meats, fish cakes, and dumplings for patrons to enjoy. The owner was very friendly in explaining the restaurant's concept and providing us with recommendations, which we appreciated given it was our first time at this spot. We went with the miso and authentic boat noodle broth. Both broths were very flavorful and I'm definitely glad we were able to sample both! From the fridge we went with a selection of noodles (egg and udon noodles), napa cabbage, seafood mushrooms, fish balls, and tofu. The hot pot ingredients tasted fresh and of high-quality. If you're looking for a new hot pot place to try with a unique dining experience to go along with delicious food, then I definitely recommend giving Hot Pot Express a try! read more

Hotpot Express - Me and my husband's came here at 5 and waited 1 hour to get our food. We order papayas salad which is not bad but the noodles was worst. - Hot Pot Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to come here for a while and we're so glad we finally did. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. In fact, we were the only ones in the restaurant since we came around 8:30pm. The broth was incredibly delicious and totally recommend coming here! The ambiance was nice and clean and a nice dinner spot for anyone looking for something warm to eat. Only downside was that I wish there was a wider range of selection but that could've been because we came close to closing. Nonetheless, still worth coming for the flavorful broth! read more

Amazing hotpot , from the broth to the fresh veggies and beef , 10/10 would recommend to bring family and friends

Straight fire I recommend this place foods real good alot of flavor on food a good place to bring family and friends. read more

I definitely need someone to be with me because I brought most of it home. The portion was very generous. Their beef broth was decent and flavorful but I was looking for more spice (cilantro, basil, lime, chile) and umami. I also would have loved to see glass noodles. The vegetable section was decent, but wanted to see more choy and different cabbages, pea shoots, snow peas, etc. I like the idea of controlling the price with the different priced plates. My selection came to a little over $40. Just thinking of what a bowl of pho runs and other hotpot houses, this runs a little more than I'd like to pay, especially for a single eater. I do plan on returning and will try a different broth. read more

Took my best friend & mom here to experience the "hot pot" life... & they LOVED it! You get to choose your own sides/noodles, so each of us were able to eat what we wanted & cook it how we liked it. It was their first time so they were amazed at how easy it was. We chose 2 different broths. The beef & the lemon grass. Both of them were delicious! My favorite part is that it's self serve. You don't have to wait on anybody because everything's already set out in the fridge for you to grab. The employee there was also very friendly. He checked on us a couple of times and cleared our plates once we were finished. There wasn't a lot of people there, just one other group so it was nice & calming. Even as more people came in it didn't get too rowdy. For all 3 of us it did cost around $90, plus tip. So we spent $100. Not bad for the amount of food we ate. By the end we were satisfied & full. If you're looking for a quick place to go with delicious food, go here. You won't regret it read more

Great service very sweet people and amazing broth flavors most definitely bring your friends and family!

Came here to give it a try after seeing all these good reviews but unfortunately I set myself up for disappointment. They had quite a few options for soup broths, the selection of meat was very limited and sad. Why do they only have one kind of beef which is the sliced round cut and sliced pork belly. No other options, the rest was just meat balls, Korean fish cakes and 6 options of veggies. There were shrimps with the head on, mussels and squid, but not much else to choose from. Now the boat pho broth was delicious and flavorful. The other part I did not like was it seems shady they took our small color plates away as we were eating, so I am not sure how they are tracking but there was no way for us to verify how many different color plates we had at the end, so it seems they can just ring you up for whatever the total amount is and you can't even verify if it's accurate or not. I didn't like that. Overall, the option of dishes was very limited. And some items were too pricey for a few pieces... for example 6 cut up pieces of tofu it's expensive here compared to you can get a whole tray at the grocery store for much less. And 4 shrimps for almost $8 was too pricey. Small restaurant, serves alcohol and accepts credit cards. If you come here with low expectations then you should be good. Unfortunately, I have had much better hotpot experiences elsewhere with much much more different meat, veggies, and seafood options... for the price we paid, it definitely needs improvement. read more

I can't get enough of this place.. friendly service and environment, food is amazing. I love picking all the fresh ingredients from the fridge. best part about it is watching your food/hotpot boil infront of you and eating it fresh. This place will always be my number one favorite. read more

Need a dinner idea for a date night? This place is amazing and delicious! I boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try after seeing this on yelp. We didn't know what to expect, but so glad we tried it! You can have up to 3 broths in your hot pot station, but an addition broth is $3 more. My boyfriend and I tried 2 broths: the house special (lemongrass) and the boat special (dark, beefy broth). Both were excellent. What I like about this place is that hot pot items to put in your broth are self serve. My favorite toppings are: beef, shrimp dumplings, quail egg, lobster balls, udon and bok choy. Add spicy sauce to your broth for an extra kick and wash your meal down with a delicious Thai tea (they have an "adult" Thai tea available as well). All was great. Although I do think that the meal was on the pricier side, I was satisfied with the food and service. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop in for date night. We ordered the Authentic Boat Noodle Broth with Beef Flanks and the Chef Special with Shrimp, Lobster Ball and Sui Mai, both bowls with Baby Bella Mushrooms, Carrot Onion, Bamboo & Udon Noodle. The Authentic Boat Noodle Broth was very flavorful and I LOVED the toppings! I unfortunately didn't care for the Chef Special broth, but I loved the Shrimp and Baby Bella Mushrooms! Tip: Ask for double bowls since the paper bowls don't hold up well after the first bowl. Being my first hot pot experience, we will be back to try more of their menu items, support local! read more

I Service was great but the food was terrible, granted I've ever tried this type of food. The noodles were soggy and the soup was sloppy. I had 2 bites only. The coconut drink that I tried had a strange texture and the taste was not to my liking. I barely drank any of it either Like I said, maybe that's how it's supposed to taste like, but it was really not to my liking at all read more

The food was really tasty! When I initially saw it online I didn't think it would be so fresh. But it was legit one of the best hot pot experiences I've had. The meat was fresh and the cuts of meat were great. The veggies were great and even the egg noodles were on point. And the service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommend and I'll definitely be back. read more

The food was delicious and the service was very good. Fun conversation and very personable.

Hotspot Express is a self-service restaurant; not only do I have to cook my food. I am picking up the uncooked dishes from the refrigerator to my table too. But it is not an all-you-can-eat restaurant. They use very fresh ingredients for the hotpot. All the dishes in the fridge are uncooked. The price is go by the color of the plates. The cost of each plate is not expensive. But watch up. It adds up quickly! You pick the soup base and choice the uncooked dishes by yourself. Cook the food on your table, and it is delicious. I ended up overeating and, of course, paid a lot of money too! Lol! Hotpot Express is next to a casino. A lot of parking spaces are marked for casino customers only. So finding a parking space is not as easy as I think. It is better to come early or a little later to avoid the parking problem. read more
