    Tomyum (good) and Mushroom (meh) soup bases
    Madeleine B.

    This was my first hot pot experience so I have nothing to compare it to but it was good for me. Vibe: Small, bustling restaurant, they have small and large tables to fit groups of 6-8. Service: The staff were all very nice and answered the questions we had. Ordering is done by checking the food you want off on a paper menu. Food: The tomyum base was very good, the mushroom base however was not very flavorful and honestly disappointing as a mushroom lover. We enjoyed the pork belly, short rib, shrimp, napa cabbage, and mushroom medley, not big fans of the beef balls and Chinese sausage. The scallion pancakes were good. I liked that they have a little sauce bar where you can mix together your own sauce and they provided some sample recipes. Value: The bill was $135 before tip for 5 people which felt reasonable, we all left full, and they were nice enough to give us tupperware on request to take the leftover soup base home. Accessibility: There was good street parking nearby although we went on Christmas Day (busy day, would recommend a reservation) so might not always be so easy to get a spot. Overall I enjoyed my meal here and would recommend.

    The named changed to Koi Seafood Restaurant... but people come here for their hot pot. I know this place opened many years but it still my first time trying it. Overpriced, not worth it. We order the basic chicken congee hot pot, the congee was too watering, never got thick at the end of the meal. Meat was fresh but other I ingredients nothing special... they say handmade cuttlefish ball, it just the ones you buy in market. It it better off to have regular hot pot than congee hot pot.

    Coconut Chicken Hotpot

    When we heard this place has a coconut chicken hotpot, it was imperative that we come and dine here. As we learnt that they may run out of the product, we were fortunate to get one. We were seated where the condiments booth were behind a few of us so we felt as though its placement could've been elsewhere just in case someone bumps into a person scooping soy sauce that can inadvertently travel forward and spill on the person sitting. Service was professional and friendly as our waitress kept checking in on our if we needed anything. When the hotpot arrived, the broth with coconut meat was already in the pot and although no fresh coconuts were opened in front us to witness actual coconut water and meat were part of the broth, we got a pretty strong coconut flavor once the broth was boiled and sipped. One of the most visually striking and appealing presentations we found hilarious and in awe was the rib eye served on a very long meat paddle (at least three and a half feet)! This definitely added to the experience since meats are typically presented on plates, not a paddle! But Koi has changed it! Definitely worth returning to - mainly for the meat paddle.

    Herbal and mala broth

    I wish I could give it a 3 star but I really can't. I LOVE hot pot, but this establishment does not hit the spot. We came to Koi, because it was the only place open that did not have a wait (during COVID). This is the first time I see a place charging $12+ for soup base!!! Everywhere else is $0-$6 for specialty soup bases. Their mala soup base is pretty good not going to lie, but for the herbal, the more you boil, the more bitter it is. The herbal does taste authentic due to the bitterness, but it is definitely not what I want when eating hot pot. We had premium meat, fatty beef, and lamb. The premium meat was the most expensive and had pretty presentation (came out in a LONG wooden board), but it was my least favorite meat. It was quite chewy and dry. Their 'homemade meatballs' arent that special, very bland. I wished I went with regular premade/frozen meatballs instead. Their fried tofu skin doesnt soak up the flavor as well as other ones. Sauce is also charged per person. They do allow us to create our own sauce, but so does many other places if asked. All other foods are ok, although most are very expensive and overpriced. The only plus of this spot is that they have beef trachea. Which was the only thing I enjoyed. I came with my friend and we spent triple the amount of what we usually spend at other hot pot places, while the food is only mediocre. Nice food presentation, but I am not sure if I want to be back again.

    Shrimp & Udon

    KOI provided an average hot pot experience. We went with two broth options, one being tomato based and the other was a kim chi broth. The menu had a variety of veggies, meats, and seafood options which we were all pleased to have so much variety. A standout off the menu I'd recommend was the shrimp paste, which puffed up into delicious shrimp balls after bouncing around in the hot broth for a little while. Beyond the shrimp paste, you'll find most hot pot staples on the menu. As I mentioned, KOI was an overall average experience. The broth was good, menu items to add to the hot pot were good, and the restaurant decor / vibe was ok. I wouldn't go out of my way and recommend KOI for hot pot, but I'd also be fine returning at a different point in time.

    My family and I went here for hotpot this weekend. Everything was a la carte. Even choosing a soup base had an add-on price. We chose 1/2 herbal and 1/2 Tom yum. That itself cost $18! We ordered a dish of angus beef, prime rib, fish tofu, fish balls, watercress, spinach, spicy fish filet, taro, turnip, and 2 orders of fried tofu skin. My favorites were the fried tofu skin and fish balls. The beef dishes were just average.. It came out to be about $40/pp. We thought it was a bit expensive and prefer to go to one of the AYCE hotpot places next time..

    The place has good meat, fresh vegetables, and a good broth! We enjoyed the food and the service. The only thing is that it is kind of pricey... for two ladies it cost us about $140 , and we only ordered one plate of meat and not much seafood.

    This hot pot is the best I have ever had in Boston. For 2ppl we spend 115. Really great hotpot!

    Admittedly, I'm starting to wonder if the sushi dining market in Quincy is becoming over-saturated. I suppose it's nice that there's a new place that isn't by that Quincy Asian dining empire, so it keeps them on their toes. I don't have a problem with their restaurants and actually like them. However, competition isn't a bad thing. Anyway, I went here for a birthday dinner (thanks Mai and Jason!) on an early Saturday evening. It was quiet and finding a table was not difficult. Having traversed past this restaurant on several occasions, I can observe that it looks like it's never difficult to find a spot. We tried a variety of rolls, along with an appetizer. The truffling tuna appetizer was okay but nothing spectacular. Since it's seared on the outside and raw in the inside, I expected the tuna to be lukewarm. However, my problem was that if a restaurant's going to indicate that the tuna is "swimming in truffle butter", there better be some truffle butter taste to it. There wasn't. The rolls varied in quality and performance. I wouldn't say any of them were mind-blowing, but some were respectable. I liked the spider roll and yellowtail with scallion roll. I'm a sucker for the former, as long as there's enough soft-shell crab. The spicy scallop maki wasn't particularly special. The crazy maki was pretty good, as there was a lot of shrimp tempura in the roll. A positive, overall, is that the rolls' rice was pretty fresh. However, the rolls, overall, had too much sauce (like a spicy sauce, etc.) and that masks the taste of fish. If I wanted the taste of spicy mayo, I can get a bottle of mayo, mix with hot sauce and squeeze in my mouth. Service was acceptable, though seemingly inexperienced. It was difficult for the waiter to communicate to us about the rolls and it seemed like we had to repeat our order. However, he was a nice guy, so I'll give him a break. Prices...decent but not great. It won't be a positive deciding factor if you're choosing between here and other nearby places.

    We ordered the 9 separator hotpot which only comes with one soup base. I would like it if we had more choices on soup. We only got the choice of mild and extra spicy. I'm disappointed because my coworker raved about this restaurant too much. To a point I was too amped to try it. I guess I sorta set the bar too high. For the three of us, dinner was $170 (with tip). The bill came with a tab of $130 labeled hotpot and there were no list of items we ordered. Was it hotpot buffet? We don't know because there were no communication between us and the waitress. Sad. Mind you, I tipped 20% despite how disappointed I was with the food and service. Good for the experience of a different type of hot pot.

The service was good, our waiter just seemed a bit rushed since he pretty much was the only person servicing the section of the restaurant where we were. This restaurant is pretty big, and has a parking lot. If you are interested in trying the all you can eat hot pot experience you have to make sure that everyone in your party is there the service is timed at 90 mins.

My family was just in town from Florida and they were craving hotpot. I knew I had to take them here. The truffle maki changed their lives on the first bite LOL. All I could say was, uh huh, I told you. We ended up ordering like 5 rolls. The service is ALWAYS A1. The staff is super nice and wonderful. From the host to the waiter/waitress to the lady that grabs your plates and utensils. My last visit I had the pleasure to talk to Shawn. Not sure if he part of the owners there but it was a good conversation. It made my family felt welcomed. It's always good when you go to an establishment to dine it and the customer service is good. It makes your dine in experience great and makes the food taste great. Definitely will be coming back more and more now that the cold weather is here. TIP : splurge and get the premium. Shorts ribs, lamb skewers, and truffle maki is a MUST try.
