I came in with my parents for the AYCE hotpot and sushi. I do like the space, it's right off the street, and very easy to get into. Being Friday, we got the all day dinner. It's not bad at all for the price, $30. Nobody else was in the restaurant, so definitely good service. Our waiter was quick and very attentive. Food wasn't bad. There wasn't a super expansive sushi menu, but they had a good amount of rolls. I was sad they didn't have makeral though. Hotpot was nice, easy controls, and the ingredients were all in fridges so you could grab whatever you wanted. . read more

Had Chinese AYCE hotpot for the first time and it's an experience You get to pick all your own proteins , veggies seafood from the coolers/fridges and then head to the sauce bar and make up your own dipping sauces - there is a ton of options to choose from Then you get 2 base broths to cook all your stuff in on the table- the server will show you how to control the temperature Just be warned that the spicy broth is !!! They now offer AYCE sushi which was also good but I was so full only had one small portion Really liked by bubble tea on the side read more

Customer service was poor. I ordered plain lo mein, waited 10 minutes, and it still had onions. When I asked for a refund and questioned the mistake, I was ignored. People please that your money and time elsewhere! read more

My experience was average - some good things like flavorful broth, lots of options, and was able to get sat right away... but also some bad, like less than fresh produce in the refrigerator section, difficult parking, and server never came to check on me. I would try some other hot pot places in town before returning. read more

For the AYCE price this place is tough to beat. $30 for both hot pot and sushi is unheard of with many places charging that much or more for just one or the other. Now that isn't to say everything is rose tinted here for the price. I do like all the self serve option from the sauce bar, topping/ingredient station, and the warming station that has some ready made items like braised pork belly. I can also appreciate the ingredient station being completely refrigerated to maintain freshness. There are also a lot of ingredients options to pick from with many I don't even find offered at other place so that was exciting. That being said there are areas I would improve. The ingredient station could benefit from having an area stocked with clean tongs so you can easily grab a pair and then pick your ingredients. I can understand why they might not do this to avoid cross contamination but also as it stand with current setup you have to trust that previous patrons aren't fumbling the tongs causing them to fall into the ingredient containers resulting in you trying to figure out if you really want to fish out the tongs buried in the raw meat to get a few pieces. I would also recommend they consider changing out any more freezer burn prone ingredients more frequently as the tofu skins had a bit of a fridge taste even after being cooked unfortunately. Otherwise the broth options were great and had good flavor. On the sushi front I thought the taste met expectations considering the menu options, but I have to say they did forget to bring out some of the rolls. This ended up working out in our favor because we were so full by the end there would have been no way to finish the other rolls that didn't come out. As with all AYCE places they do have a clearly outlined policy and fee list for wasting food so be polite and mindful to only grab and order what you can finish. All things considered I plan on coming back here with the expectation it might be just a smidge below in quality compared to other places, but over delivers on amazing value. read more

Lots of variety (vegetables, beef, seafood) to add to the hot pot! Really liked the beef and variety of vegetables to add in. Server was also super nice and friendly. read more

Kung fu hot pot has good food and great customer service! I tried the hot pot for the first time and my waiter was extremely helpful. I tried the hot pot with veggies and Ramen and I love the unique flavor profile. The decor was a cozy, traditional restaurant and I had no problem parking on the street. The egg rolls, fried tempura veggies, and spring rolls were delicious along with the sauces. and it was all you can eat, which was a plus! read more

I love this place. I'm right next-door. My neighbors !The sushi is amazing. The soup is on the money very affordable. Great service fast service very clean. The all you could eat sushi is amazing very fresh. You will not be disappointed.I read more

The food is awesome and very tasty. It doesn't look all that big in the refrigerators they have, but it definitely expands. We tried the shrimp and crawfish. Not the best it was a little gritty. The beef rolls, lamb rolls and meatballs were great. The service was excellent, they took dirty dishes quickly and made sure our drinks were full. They were friendly also as we had never been here before and they explained how it worked. One of the only hard things was finding parking. It on street and metered so a little challenging. read more

Hot pot is a new experience for me. My friend brought us here for all-you-can-eat hot pot and showed me the ropes. A simple concept - a ring on the table heats the pot of broth. Into the broth, you pour in stuff to cook. And when it's cooked, you pull it out and eat. We opted for two broths - beef and tomato. And then it's time to load up a bowl from the coolers. Different frozen meats including chicken, beef, meatballs, octopus, crawfish. A second cooler with veggies including onions, mushrooms, peppers and the like. There are also a few different types of noodles available. Yes, it's all you can eat. They will refill the broth as needed and they will bring more rice. It's delicious and you can absolutely get your money's worth here. Yum! [Review 20734 overall - 145 in Minnesota - 1716 of 2023.] read more

Great food, made worse by GrubHub. I placed my order and it quoted me 30-40 'minutes for delivery. It took ended up taking nearly two hours with zero updates and two phone calls. Food arrived warm in parts, cold in others and the GrubHub customer service rep offered no assistance when I called to find out if my order had even been received. GrubHub marks the price up, charges fees and provides zero added benefit. I'll go to the restaurant next time and I'll avoid ever using GrubHub again. read more

Our first ever hot pot experience surely didn't disappoint! Our waiter was very polite and had a wonderful attitude. It created a very welcoming atmosphere right off the bat! Lots of food options and it was all SO delicious and fun! This is a MUST for anyone looking to enjoy an extravagant and unique meal. I will absolutely return! read more

5 stars for the sushi, 4 stars for the hot pot (produce could be fresher, it could be more clean looking in the area), but overall 5 stars because $30 all you can eat sushi / hot pot combo is pretty unbeatable. I had a zillion pieces of the thinly sliced beef and fatty beef. Sooooo good. read more

Really good price for AYCE sushi and hot pot?!!! The waiter was very kind and attentive and brought out all of our food super quickly. All of the hot pot things were in the fridge so it was easy to access. Sushi was decent too for AYCE! read more

Best place for AYCE hot pot in the cities! I attended their grand opening and I just keep coming back! The service is always nice and I love the self serve aspect. You grab your little tray and pick from a variety of choices! (Meat/fish/veggies) There's also a little sauce bar with so many options. Soo worth visiting especially during a cold winter day. It will def warm you up. :D read more

Overall, this is a pretty decent AYCE hot pot option and is basically one of three in the Twin Cities (everywhere else is a la carte). I love the variety of options available and the fact that you can grab your own ingredients and dictate how much you want of each. The sauce bar is also pretty nice. I've been twice, and service is okay (pretty hands off) and the place has been decently clean, but I have gone during slower times. People do drop things but it gets picked up. Honestly, I don't expect stellar service from places like these- it fits the 3.5 stars for Chinese restaurants theory on Tik Tok. Take that how you will but I'll definitely be back. read more

Had a lovely family dinner here on a Monday evening. Service was phenomenal, really attentive and educational. Helped guide through the menu and hot pot options. The self service area seemed well cleaned and maintained. It was a Monday too, so generally quieter. Priced really well too. We got half spicy half original - the spicy broth was absolutely amazing. We could make our own sauce too, but I almost felt like it wasn't needed. Overall a wonderful experience, and where I plan to come next time I'm in the mood for hotpot. read more

Kung Fu Hotpot is a new gem in uptown, and a very welcome addition to the currently stark hotpot landscape in the Twin Cities. It's in the same space that Szechuan Spice was, and the menu still includes dishes beyond hotpot. It's not totally clear if this is a concept refresh or an entirely new restaurant, though all the decor and seating is very clearly brand new and nice. it's softly-lit by paper lanterns and lights and is an all-around cozy atmosphere. The hotpot is priced all you can eat at $36.99 per adult for dinner (there are child and weekday lunch specials), and for that price you can choose up to two broths and get full reign over the self-serve ingredient fridges and sauce station. There's a wide range of different meats including the classic beef slices hotpot is known for, plenty of veggies like bok choi and mushrooms, noodles and tofu, plus a surprisingly strong seafood selection including blue crabs, crawfish, and baby octopus. For the price, the ingredients definitely deliver in breadth and quality. if it's your first hotpot experience the sauce station can be a bit intimidating, but this is a key part of getting the most out of the experience. I'd start with either a vinegar and oyster sauce or a peanut sauce base and add garlic and other seasonings from there, but the staff is also friendly and I'm sure would guide you to make a good sauce if asked. I've gone twice and gotten both classic and spicy broths each time. Both have had rich and complex flavors both times, and you'll want both--if only to cool off from the spice from time to time. They also have a solid boba menu if you want to cool off even more. Overall, I'm super happy to have Kung Fu Hotpot in the city, and think it's a great option for a first hotpot experience or if you're a seasoned veteran. It's definitely pricier than the average dinner, but for me the range of flavors and experience of cooking communally is worth it. I can't wait to come back in the winter and look out at the lake street holiday lights while staying warm in a cloud of hotpot steam. read more

Although I haven't eaten there I happened to stop in looking for some help to get my phone charged and when I came in the young lady treated me very nicely then helped me. Will definitely be trying the food sometime I expect it to be as good if not a better experience than the first time. Thanks! read more

The food here is incredible!! I was so happy when it first opened to have a hot pot spot close by in uptown and now I'm honestly convinced it's the best in the twin cities. The spicy beef tallow is my favorite soup base, but the standard broth is also great especially if you don't do spice!! They have lots of great options for the add-ins and it's all always super fresh every time we come. The service is also super great and the owner is very kind!! They do this fun game right now where you get to roll dice for a chance to win a discount it's a very fun way to end a nice meal especially with a group of friends. It's also good for a date night and Up Down is right next door for entertainment afterwards!! Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone it's fantastic!!! read more

Thank you!! Delicious. Next time make sure the delivery driver stays for his cash tip!

I am IN LOVE with this place. It's affordable, options are wonderful, sauce bar has plenty of options to pick from, and the broth is delicious! I'm not sure if this place is as popular since there was no one when we dined in, but staff were still quick with service. Refilled items when needed, and always was around. This place is very beautiful, and parking wasn't too bad! read more

I feel like I'm always in the mood for hot pot no matter the temperature, so even on a 80 degree day I decided to visit. They have an all you can eat option which is hard to find in the cities. It's self-service for the food, so you can easily get as much as you'd like from the coolers and the sauce bar. The broths themselves are SO GOOD which if anyone who has done hot pot before knows that's essential. We loved the spicy beef tallow broth. The meat was fresh and the fatty beef I think was the best. Definitely unassuming in the heart of uptown. Service was friendly as well and waters were always filled. read more

This place was literally so good. I would go back 1000 times. Service was attentive but not overbearing, our server was prepared and knowledgeable about the menu and his own favorites. Broth was delicious, we got the spicy beef tallow and the original flavors which is apparently a popular combination, and they were both delicious and rich--the original was a nice and flavorful break from the spicy! The add-ins are all you can eat with a wonderful selection, including shrimp, actual crab AND imitation, mussels, tons of veggies, dumplings, marinated and plain meats including beef and lamb, and a WIDE variety of noodles--the ramen and udon were my favorite. The meal also comes with a free drink and the sauce bar is bomb. Idk y'all, this was probably the best hot pot experience of my life and I literally made this account so I could share that with others!! :,) see you at kung fu hot pot :D read more

They have updated their prices!! Even more worth the price for all you can eat! They also added a fun little game you can play to try to get 10%, 20% off OR if you roll all the same numbers you get a free meal! read more

Pretty good soup base - both spicy and non-spicy options. Good selection of dishes to add - I would have liked to see more choices for veggies though. The staff was great and attentive. Good environment as well. We will definitely go back! read more

AYCE hotpot in the Twin Cities is definitely on the pricier side (37 for dinner here), so I definitely have a strong opinion on whether or not it's worth going out for it. One major point in Kung Fu Hot Pot's favor is that they have a fully stocked sauce bar, which is an absolute must for me! Another big bonus is that they have self serve coolers for all the food. No waiting for things to arrive and it allows people to sample smaller portions to figure out what they like. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. 34 bucks for terrible food. Meat smelled bad. The soup had no flavor at all. Like 15 options for all you can eat is embarrassing. Wish I never went to this place. The service was very nice and respectful. I was the only person there. Very nice decor and you get to roll dice for a discount. Minus that... lower your price and if you go lower your expectations. read more

I see the bad reviews on here & while I'm not trying to discredit those patrons, me & my friends had a pleasant time, they educated us on how it works since we were newcomers and refilled our pot & drinks multiple times, there weren't too many in there when we went, maybe they had a shakeup internally because we would all come back again. read more

Dosent like much but when you try to try the food it's delicious there soup id very high quality with a good base and there meats are very finely cut and made very well I would recommend this place for sure for anyone even if your not a fan of Asian food. read more

Too expensive for the quality of the food. The broth was very greasy/fatty. My throat and stomach after eating here and I ate very very little. There are better hot pot restaurants so don't waste your money here! read more

I am sad to report that the food here is not good, at all. I ordered this to try something new (my usual go to in Uptown is China Moon). It was unfortunately so bad I had to throw away my $40 order. The dumplings were the best thing I ordered yet still had a bad aftertaste. The crab rangoons were awful... the cream cheese inside was sweet and runny like melted frosting. The pepper steak had a bland yet sour taste to it. And the sesame chicken was gristly and citrus flavored. I want to support Uptown businesses but this food was just not good. read more

Bad customer service. The owner refused to serve me because i was asking too many questions (vegan).

So, my kids, niece, nephew and I came to this restaurant (Kung fu hot pot ) tonight. We sit down I order a couple appetizers (egg rolls, and beef dumplings) and drinks. Get the drinks I'm almost half way through my Sierra Mist and notice it's something stuck on my cup. I tell the waiter and he take my cup; never brought me clean up either. Ok on to the appetizers... Now, the menu lists the proteins for everything else except the egg rolls. Egg rolls come out and I break the egg roll apart and notice meat. I ask if it was pork and the waiter tells me yes. I apologize and tell him I didn't know it was pork bc it wasn't on the menu the other appetizers with pork specifies it's pork. He asked what else did I want I told him we would take the vegetable spring rolls. A couple minutes later the waiter come out with the bill and tell us the owner doesn't want to serve us! I responded with "ok but why?!" He said bc we're asking for too much! It was a teaching moment for the kids who were exceptionally well behaved btw. I remained calm and respectful and expressed to the waiter they could have told us we had to pay for the egg rolls and asked if we still wanted the vegetable spring rolls but yet we were asked to leave bc I asked for a CLEAN CUP and vegetable spring rolls(after the waiter asked what else did we want)! I can't help but think the outcome would have been a lot different had it been a white family! read more

I don't get why this place overcharges people, it said on the menu of $32 a person, and dumplings that took bout 30 minutes,& 2 sodas ; supposedly they don't have a liquor license, but why advertise you have beer ,& or alcoholic drinks if you don't have said liquor license; , the food , broth were both mediocre,& I would never go to that place ever again, the 2 young kids that were the waiters they were slightly rude , & didn't have good customer service skills at all. I hope that place closes for good,& they wouldn't let you take the rest of your food because apparently they don't have take out food containers, but yet they do food take out,& delivery; I wouldn't advise going there at all read more
