I'm not to sure but I've always wanted to come here , pricing not to bad but I was on my Instagram and one a piece of hair was on the food and after I told them I think I saw them pick it off and try to give it to me ..... so I told them to just take it I'll get another one . I picked up another plate and next thing you know a roach ran across my plate . I took a picture now I've been waiting for 10 mins to talk to the manager. They are trying to give me a discount but I've only been here for like 20 mins and I did not get to enjoy my food . read more

I Luv Hot Pot - Here's Sammy the roach :) - Hot Pot Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I'm sooooo glad that I read (and liked!) some reviews for this restaurant before going in for dinner with my family. We came around 7:30 and the place was hoppin'! We waited for about 10 minutes for a table and then were seated by an insanely busy young waiter. From reading past reviews we knew that it would be a while before we would see our waiter again so we ordered quickly and decisively: three chicken and one beef broths, waters and a Thai iced tea. Each seat is equipped with a recessed hot pot area that heats the metal pot that they bring your broth in. This allows you to cook items that you take off the conveyer belt. While you wait for your broth, head to the sauce bar to fetch what you might need for your meal. I grabbed a small bowl of soy, one of ginger fish sauce (so good), chili paste (another fav of mine), a couple of lime quarters, and some Asian bbq sauce (did not like this one). You can also grab other condiments like minced garlic, cilantro, and diced onion. Once we received our broths and kicked the hot plates up to 5, we started to make our selections. We were able to identify most of the items that passed by, but not all because they are NOT labeled. Be sure to view everything while you wait so that you have some idea of what you want. All dishes are full enough to share with others at your table. We tried many things (all the veggies, fish, crab, beef, quail eggs, noodles) but didn't get too crazy (no baby octopus or taro root). We asked our waiter what the "lime green stuff" was that made its way around the room and he told us, "Jello." Well, who doesn't like jello? The kids wanted to try it at the end of the meal so we plucked one off. It most definitely had gelatin in it but it was a tapioca if some sort. None of us liked that. With all that we ate, we were completely stuffed. We checked out for under $50 and had a wonderfully different kind of experience for dinner. Things to note: they bring you a spoon and a set of chopsticks so if you need a fork you will need to ask! Also, if you bring your kids, sit them on the outside or you will be at their mercy pulling off plates for you. read more

I thought I was just getting a typical personal hot pot at a Chinese restaurant, and found myself at an entirely different restaurant than what I had in mind. The purple fluorescent lighting and the bumping music made I Luv Hot Pot an experience unlike any other. And the rotating conveyor belt of hot pot ingredients?! As we were being seated, I noticed the HUGE cups of Thai Tea and insisted on asking about it, especially since I didn't seem it on a menu. Y'all. $3 for that huge cup of Thai Tea. Best deal EVER. It may be more cream than tea... but honestly I didn't care. The sauce bar is nice - I did miss my Chinese BBQ sauce, but the sauces available at the bar are unique. Mix up your own concoction! On to the real food. You choose a broth base that is $3-5, depending on whether you order a specialty broth or the original. I picked the beef broth, which is as others have noted, very similar to pho soup. Then you can pick up different items off the conveyor belt. Different items have different plate colors, indicating the corresponding price. I didn't like how many of the items were frozen and not as fresh, although I know most hot pot ingredients usually come frozen. Also, since we came during peak hours, we found that the sliced meat was hard to come by, and the wait was torturous. Eventually, as we filled up on veggies, noodles and seafood, the meat cans rotating toward us but we didn't have the desire for it anymore. Overall, the novelty aspect of I Luv Hot Pot is unlike any other hot pot restaurant I've ever been to. But now I can just say, been there, done that. read more

TLDR: 8/13/23 (11 pm) I went to this restaurant on a date and was given terrible service by three men who talked about me and my date (in Vietnamese) while sitting beside us. My date understands Vietnamese and asked for a manager to report their lack of professionalism. Long story: This past Sunday (August 13th, 2023), I went to this place on a date. This was my first time there and we checked the time to make sure they weren't closing. We arrived at 11 pm according to their front desk computer. Immediately I felt uncomfortable. The two employees looked at me and my date like they didn't want us to be there. However, they say is down and my date was able to order us broth. When the broth came out, the conveyor belt was sending around veggies, but the selection was limited. This being my first time there I didn't think much of it and my date told me what I could grab. Around 11:18 (my date checked his watch) nothing else was being sent out and the staff did not come to check on us or tell us they would be shutting anything down before the midnight closing time. This frustrated my date and I. He called someone over and asked them what was going on. They claimed they shut down the conveyor belt at 11:15 and my date showed him his watch and said that we're still paying customers and no one told us this or asked if they could bring us anything out. My date also explained that he wasn't frustrated with the employee that came to help (a man that refused to give us his name) because it wasn't in his control. The employee nodded, then brought us out a few things and went on to sit with two other male employees (one wore glasses and all three could be about 5'6 - 5'7). As they were talking in Vietnamese, my date caught something they had said and stood up and listened closely. Whatever they were saying irritated my date enough to confront them and ask them what they had said and informed them that he understood Vietnamese. They employees would not repeat what they said, but we're visibly shocked that my date heard them. There was no apology given by any of the three men and when my date asked for their names they refused and one decided to step into my date's face (this was after he paid and when he had asked for a manger). After me and a very kind Spanish woman (she tried her best to help) intervened before a scuffle could happen, we left still hungry and very annoyed. My date didn't share everything that was said, but it was enough to make him angry. Since that situation, I'm tried to call to speak with a manager yesterday (8/14) but apparently they manager wasn't at work that day either. I'll try again because the experience was just that unacceptable. read more

I've been hesitant to try I Luv Hot Pot ever since Daniel B posted at his cockroach experience here. Plus not a huge fan of the "I Luv" chains. Not only do they have awful customer service but they also don't have the most tastiest food either. The main reason I decided to come to I Luv Hot Pot cause my SIL and mom came recently and liked it. I think they liked the conveyor belt but I had that experience already elsewhere (Nine Spices). The place is huge. I was impressed with the size. Not so friendly service. I seriously thought this place was AYCE like Nine Spices but it's not. Whenever I go eat hot pot, I always get chicken slices. That did NOT happen here. They kept telling me they are still working on it. After we're almost finished, I asked again where the chicken is. They said they are still "cooking" it. Like really? Isn't all the meat supposed to be raw and you cook it yourself? I asked them if they were plucking the chicken. I was pissed and just didn't care anymore. Not only is their customer service sucky but the food ain't all that either. The broth was bland. I will never, ever, ever come back. 12/2020 read more

Probably one of the best bang for your buck during family time as a buffet for hot pot. From sauces, the broth, to the choosing of topping and noodles or meats. TL:DR food is great, good for one or rarely two time per week. A great place to socialize with friends and family. read more

I Luv Hot Pot - Thai Hotpot with enoki mushrooms, egg noodles, and egg. - Hot Pot Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This was my first time that I've been here as my GF's family took me and honestly I thought it was pretty cool. I'm used to the Taiwan version of Hot Pot so it's usually one big pot, divided down in the middle, and then two broths and just put all your meat and it's family style. This version is definitely different as everyone got their own pot and then the meats weren't given to you rather you can pick them off the conveyor belt right next to your table. I can see kind of a flaw in this though, you could easily over eat and your bill can be a lot higher than an all you can eat Hot Pot as the way the pricing is differs. Meats are $3, I saw lobster for $5, veggies are $1, and some other dishes are for $2. Anyways, different plate colors = different price. Inside, the decor is very, uhhh party type? It felt like a club almost inside, neon lights everywhere. And there seems to be some sort of fascination with a train that hovers and moves around the restaurant. I mean, I get it, but what's up with making all the noise? I feel like maybe if there was no noise, the train would be pretty neat piece and that if customers care for it could look and see it. But, the whole time we were eating the toy train was just going nuts. I do like the sauce bar though, where you can get all of your sauces and mix up what you would like to dip your meats and veggies in. I eat a good amount of sauce when it comes to hot pot so it's nice to just go and get your amount of garlic, cilantro, onions, etc. without needing to ask more from a waiter. I fully support the sauce bar. Overall, I'm definitely a fan of this place. I like the things that they are changing up compared to the normal hot pot, and honestly there's only so much you can do. I like the innovation, and I will definitely come back here either with the GF's fam or next time, maybe my family will be coming too... We'll see how that all goes down. But definitely, if you've never had hot pot, I think this restaurant could be a nice transition into it. It's for everyone, if you're wary about hot pot, check this place out, and if you know how it is... Well yeah, this place will show you something new. read more

A 24-hour conveyor belt hot pot spot? That's ridiculous and yet it happened! This place definitely caters to the Vietnamese palate. BROTH: Your choice of vegetable, beef, chicken or kim chi. The beef broth was definitely the same broth as beef Pho broth so great if you're looking to make a DIY Pho. It was a tad sweet for my taste. I will have to try the kim chi broth next time. SAUCE BAR: The sauce bar had noteably sweeter sauces like oyster sauce and hoisin sauce. They also had bean curd sauce which is a rarity. I found the choices limiting to make my own savory sauce. They had fresh options like chillis, garlic, green onions, etc. SERVICE: They'll just check in on you periodically but you will have to wave them down for drink refills. I didn't mind too much since I'm use to Asian-level service. FOOD: They had a decent selection of hard to find Vietnamese greens including water spinach. Meats and seafood were OK in regards to quality. I wish the meat was sliced thinner honestly. Next time, I would stick to mostly the veggies. I found those to be a much better value. They also have "special combos" for $10 which I'm not sure what it consists of yet. We just picked from the conveyor belt. PRICE: Will probably end up being around $10-20 per person depending on how hungry you are and how much meat you get. Overall, I think it's decent if you have a more sweet palate. I would definitely come here late at night though since it's open 24 hours and I'm a night owl. read more

Visited during lunch. It was my first time here. I was excited to experience the conveyor belt concept, unfortunately -- they do not have that during lunch hours. Interior: super spacious. There were lots of tables. We were 1 of 3 tables. Because the space was so big and empty, it felt real awkward and eery. There wasn't any music playing so it was quiet. Halfway through they started to play some instrumental music. Service: there was one guy taking orders and waiting tables. Service was very poor. From greeting, explaining how to order, and bringing our food. We had ordered udon noodles. But when he brought us the boat- there was some other kind of noodles and when we asked. He said they were out of udon noodles. We thought that was weird that he wouldn't ask us for an alternative since they were out and instead just gave us some random noodles that we didn't want. We asked for ramen noodles instead, which he ended up forgetting to bring us until we reminded him later. Food: (for lunch) they gave us a pen and paper. You can check off your soup, veggies, noodles, & meat. We tried Thai soup. It was a mild flavor similar to that of Tom yum soup. It wasn't bad. We ordered 3 EXTRA orders of the beef tenderloin but it looked like it was barely an order for 2. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with anything. You make your own sauce but they didn't have any peanut sauce, which is a main ingredient I put in mine. read more

I found this place via Tiktok & it was just okay. The service was okay, our waiter checked on us never but a young man did come by to just make sure we were okay. The place can use some cleaning by the conveyor belts as I saw a roach, the conveyor area needs to be cleaned after each and every guest. The place kinda has a funny smell but the broth was really good, the good meat was put out shortly so that was also great. read more

Food selection was great but meat and seafood quality was just alright. The salmon was very disappointing; it looked frozen and cheap. I haven't been back for awhile since I wasn't very fond of their dipping sauces, so I decided to give it a try again. It was still very disappointing and I would never come back. They mostly have oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sesame paste at the sauce bar, that's all. Very bad sauce selections which should be the primary focus at every hot pot restaurant. read more

I love the concept of this place. Maybe something like this will open in Texas. Everybody gets their own hotpot bowl and you get to pick what kind of broth you want. There is a conveyor that has an assortment of meats and vegetables for you to select. They also have a sauce section where you can create your own dipping sauce. Great concept but the service was horrible and the portions on the plates were inconsistent (literally one plate of shrimp will have 3 pieces and the one next to it will have 5) but the price is the same. They had handwritten signs for some meats and veggies but they were not placed in the right spot so you were guessing unless you know. Overall the broth was okay... I got the Thai flavor broth. It could use a little more spices. Veggies were fresh but a lot of the seafood plates were frozen and meats were okay. Service was awful. Our party of 5 asked for water when we were seated. And when the guy came to take our broth order still no water. Our bowls came out before our water and when we asked about it the guy rudely says in a minute. We watch the table in front of us (larger party too) who came in after us get water. Again we waived our server down and the guy waive his finger saying 1 minute. My brother was upset and got up and got us water from the counter. We got no refills and the guy didn't come check up on us. Only came back to give us the bill. This day wasn't even busy so we don't know what was going on. My dad who comes here often says it's normally not like this but for it being our first time and being from out of town we were not impressed. read more

Hmm I don't know why I haven't written a review for this place yet. I've been here three-four times in the last month! I absolutely love their I Luv Hotpot (thai) broth. It's perfect after I put my fish sauce, lime, and pepper into it. What can I say, it's how I like it. Their selection of veggies is always very fresh. Usually, I only come during the summer months because my boyfriend and I love our morning glory and watercress vegetables but they don't have that in the winter! Whether we eat with friends or just us two, you can always find mushrooms, watercress, 3+ plates of morning glory, vermicelli, and egg noodles on our table. Oh, can't forget their Thai Tea! BEST IN TOWN! And they always come in a Cup larger than my head! I took off a star because, well, sometimes the don't refill the sauce bar and I need my limes! Also, they went up in price! lol read more

The first time I ever had hot pot was at I Luv Hot Pot! My friend recommended me get the Thai soup as the base & that's what i've been getting ever since! My favorite part about this place is the conveyer belt of food! I really like that I get to pick every single item that goes into my soup. At most hot pot places they have set menus where you can't really customize what you want, which is why I like I Luv Hot Pot so much. They have a conveyer belt that goes around the whole restaurant. There's lots of variety of things such as veggies, red meat, seafood, fish/meat balls, corn, noodles, ramen, etc. They also have a really nice sauce bar. There's extra condiments/toppings there like onion, limes, & chilies. read more

My experience here was okay. Service was not that great. We got seated and the server gave us water and our broths. That was the only time we got to see him until we had to wave someone else down to get our bill after waiting for so long. Loved the concept of the conveyor belt and grabbing which items you want to eat. They also have a sauce bar but nothing really special. I did notice some fruit flies in some sauces but maybe it adds extra flavor? All in all, the broth was decent. I chose the beef broth and it tasted like pho. Again everything is okay and I would most likely not come back if I'm craving hotpot in the area. read more

Kind of pricey. But if you're feeling like hot pot and don't want to make your own it will suffice the cravings. They make you pay a certain price for different color plates. They give you a soup base to start with and you can go to the bar and pick out what add ins you want to your broth to flavor it. I got the beef broth and it was like pho. It was kind of salty so I think we got the bottle of the pot. They have all kinds of things to add to your hot pot. It was okay. read more

This is our favorite place. And the servers KNOWS us. Not our names,, but know our faces and know what we like. We LOVE IT!!

This place SUCKED. We came on a weekday afternoon and did not have a pleasant experience. The service was not pleasant and the servers were extremely stand off-ish and rude. We were given 0 explanation on how the menu works or how to order. Ramen was extremely sweet and tasted like lime? We got 3 different broth flavors and we all had the same sweet/lime taste coming from the pots. Food looked old, like it was sitting out for a long time. Total was $87 for 3 people without tip.. We left hungry, unhappy, and were basically shooed away from the employees. Will not be returning. Nine Spices Hot Pot is 100% times better just waiting for them to open back up. read more

If you like to play with your food, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! My kids love hot pot, and especially love to customize their brothy bowls with fishy, meaty, noodly, garlicky goodness coming straight off a conveyor belt! I'm almost embarrassed to admit that we come here on a monthly basis, and we have long, unrushed, interactive dinners where everyone gets exactly what they want. So good, so fun, great COVID safety procedures in place. It's gimmicky and even though the service can be spotty and sometimes the dishes on the conveyor belt look slightly suspect, I'm willing to overlook it all for the fun factor! read more

RUDE server and hair in food. Used to love here until my registered service dog for vision impaired got a very rude refusal by a server who was not willing to communicate. Tried to explain to him that my dog was trained and would be on-leash and I had the handler license (refusing such a service dog will be ILLEGAL in GA), the server was sitting behind the counter and on his phone throughout the conversation, very disrespectful! He ignored my request to speak with the manager and told me there's no manager and the restaurant was closed which was ridiculous because there were other customers dining in in front of me. Eventually spoke to someone in charge and got a seat after I pulled out my phone trying to record everything. Found several hairs in one piece of beef tendon. The order of beef tendon was taken off from my bill. Other servers are nice. read more

A little overpriced compared to AYCE in the area. The soy sauce and sesame oil were both unnaturally sweet.

I got the I Luv Hot Pot soup which is a tom yum based soup ($3). The ingredients in which you put in ranges from $1-$5. There is a sauce bar for you to make your own sauce. Each person gets their own soup and can grab whatever meats/veggies they want to put into their hot pot soup. I got the fatty beef, brisket, enoki, lobster tail, wide rice noodles, shiitake mushrooms. They really have everything you can imagine in a hot pot. It takes a while for everything to circulate through on the conveyor belt, but I enjoy the casual process. If you're super hangry and cannot wait to eat, I don't recommend this place because it takes a good amount of time before you have everything that you would want in your pot. Unless you're willing to eat just one or two things at a time. Personally, I think the service is horrible. They did not refill the drinks until they were asked to, and the lids of the food plates (for the hot pot) piled up. However, I am still giving them 4 stars because I think the hot pot is good and the sauce bar has an abundant amount of sauces and other things like garlic, onions, cilantro, etc. read more

One of our favorite spots we would go on Sundays is now not our favorite. The prices jumped 50% What would normally be a $40 bill for two people is now a $60 bill and it wasn't worth it.

Definitely going to miss this place because it was a great place to go when it was cold but I can't see paying that price for something I can go to another restaurant and get it cheaper and fresher. read more
