This place is incredible! Service is fast and efficient, the entire restaurant is incredibly clean, and my food tasted fresh. I was very happy with how fast everything came out and how well it tasted. This is my first hot pot experience and it was a 10/10. They let us sample the broths before ordering a full one. read more

LA hotpot really deserves 3.5 stars. The good: easy to get in, tasty meat options, good service. They were also sampling their new sushi bar in anticipation of sushi service shafting in June 2026. You order on table side tablets, which is fine for this kind of a night, but we did have to ask for our drinks and I was. Little disappointed by the variety of vegetables for hot pot. We may return to try the Kbbq, but also really enjoy Orion up the street. read more

Great local hotpot spot with good pricing and sauces/toppings. We loved the flavor of the hot and sour soup and the spicy szechuan. Come at a weird time and it won't be crowded at all! Service was great and all the things we ordered came to our table super quickly. read more

We ate here after full day of snowboarding and it 100% hit the spot. We did the hot pot special. The broth was delicious and there was a wide variety of vegetables and goodies to add to it. We used an iPad to order our meats and they came readily to our table. The lamb was our favorite! The staff was friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself was clean and tidy. Overall a wonderful experience! read more

Came in on a Saturday for two people around 5:00pm and was seated quickly. Restaurant was about half full Decided to do the hotpot and Korean bbq all you can eat. Service was quick and attentive. Overall area and table was a bit dirty. It is not listed but you are able to split the broths and order two. Decided on hot & sour and spicy butter. I would say the broths are okay. Sauce bar has a very good selection of items. The sides from kimchi, daikon, and cucumbers were okay as well. Nothing that good. Self serve vegetables and meatball options were pretty standard and had everything. Quality of the meats from bbq were better than the hot pot items but all tasted okay to me. Ordered picked pork belly and short ribs. Best was the pickled pork belly! Only ordered four meats for hot pot since we were a bit short on time. Imitation crab, fatty beef, chicken, and blue crab. Everything tasted okay and the blue crab was pretty dry read more

I really enjoyed the food we opted into doing the hot pot and barbecue for the both of us. The inside layout is really nice and big. It's an old village Inn converted into a hot pot and barbecue spot. Some of their rice and french fries and sesame balls were hard and cold. Also, there was only one bottle of Sriracha and there was a few parties there so I kind of felt like I was racing to get the Sriracha but overall I really enjoyed my experience here. So for both of us 2 to have hot pot and barbecue and two drinks that ended up costing us about $100 including tip. The service was excellent. They were fast and nice and they actually gave us a lot of attention. read more

It's great to see a high quality hot pot and kbbq spot in the Arvada area. We had the AYCE hot pot + kbbq combo and it was $36 (per tax/tip) which is a great deal for what we got. Hot pot + sauces The hot pot broth options are all delicious. If you like szechuan spicy, the spicy broth is great - there's just a bit of a learning curve of how to eat around the dried peppers and szechuan peppercorns, but you'll get it. The menu of different meats, seafood, veggies, noodles, and tofu is extensive and fresh. There's something for everyone: the meats and veggies you'll come across at an American market, as well as traditional Chinese meats and veggies that are oh so delicious in a hot pot. I'm always so happy when I see things like lotus root, tripe, and tong hua. They have a very extensive sauce section. Awesome to make your own sauces, but intimidating for people who are new. A possible suggestion to the restaurant would be putting up suggested sauce combinations. Korean BBQ The kbbq was fine, they put a paper down between the meat and the grill so you don't get that nice grill crust. I get that it makes cleanup easier, but took away from the flavor and overall experience. The meats and seafood were great quality, so it was unfortunate and we focused more on the hot pot because of this. Service There was always someone walking around who we could flag down to order more food and the food made it out to us quickly. We all easily got our fill and we had 4 ppl at our table. Space The restaurant is big. There are lots of tables for big parties and you don't feel crowded with the party next to you. I love supporting new asian restaurants especially as they expand around the Denver area and La hotpot and BBQ deserves it! read more

My son has been wanting us to try Hot Pot for a while now, so we got together for his birthday to celebrate at La Hotpot because of it's reviews, choices, and pricing. Pros We were able to get a reservation for our big group of 13 and the service was fast and friendly. Enjoyed the option of having Korean BBQ add-on! Workers were nice enough to offer take photos of our large group. So-so It was the first time for ten of us and a bit more direction would have been helpful (although we know a group like ours can be a lot). Luckily my son was excited to teach us and fill in the gaps. When I checked our bill, I found we were charged for an extra meal. I'm sure and easy error to make, but glad I caught it as we didnt split the check and I was paying for all. Cons The pricing on the website DID NOT match what we were billed, although though the website had a note that it was updated as of 2025. Even though it was only a few dollars off, this is is such a pet peeve of mine. read more

I've been waiting for a good hot pot place to open nearby for YEARS now and was extremely excited to visit this place. I was not disappointed! I've been twice- once a few weeks after they opened and then about a month after that. I'm happy to say, they ironed out a lot of the service issues I encountered the first time. Food was brought promptly and service was great on my second visit! The selections of meats and veggies is great. I wish there were more seafood options and hope to see more added in the future. My only minor complaint is the menu- it's hard to mark your options and there's not obvious way to mark more than one serving of a specific item. If they, at a minimum, provided finer-tip pens or a chwckbox system, it would make the ordering process much easier. read more

I really wanted to love this place, but I really didn't. All the marinated meats except for the their Chicken Crispy Bones (which is basically just the joints/the bone ends of chicken bones) were very bland. It might just be a simple fix like marinating it a little longer but I am not sure. Hot pot broths are okay to start with but you definitely need a trip to the sauce bar to make it to your liking. Drinks were the best thing I had here, so big highlight there! Service can be forgivable as they have recently open but I do expect it to be better as time goes on. One of the biggest problems I had was that they didn't clear the table, not even once while we were there. There was no place to even put new orders as we keep stacking the plates. We barely did 3 rounds lol. Our 3rd round ended up being super small because of the lack of table space. It was clear that they are still training people and I am okay with that and very open to it but it felt that we were in a fishbowl with the comments that were being made "away" from our tables. (Not really away, we heard everything.) It is very clear to me that the staff needs more training and have better introduction to the process of things to customers. Price point -- great! 35 for both hotpott and bbq. Hoping I can come back and give them a better review. read more

This place is pricey af. I like that you can get both hotpot and bbq because I am not a hotpot fan. The service was good when they brought it out but terrible about collecting the dishes. The grill was also hard to navigate with more than 2 people using it. Some meat was marinated, some wasn't. I think I might come back if people wanted both. read more

Such an amazing spot!! They have such good food and the prices I feel are unbeatable, especially their lunch specials. Is you're vegetarian they give you a discount too. The veggies and noodles you can just grab yourself and the meats is what they will serve you. The service is so attentive. They also recently added fried rice and sesame balls. They also have some sponge cakes and oranges you can have. They also serve alcohol. I cannot recommend this place enough. It's amazing read more

I couldn't tell you how many times I've come here since moving to the area, it's my favorite KBBQ and hot pot! The prices are perfect, the selection of veggies and sauces is impressive, and it's been my comfort spot after a bad or cold day for a year now! Highly recommended spot. read more

Very solid hot pot spot! The broth and sauce station were some of the best I've had/seen. I'm taking a star off because of the service, which has been mentioned in several other reviews. Things took a really long time to come out and when we ordered our second round of items, the waitress forgot to put it in. So we were there for 2 hours and only ordered off the menu twice. She was nice and apologized profusely but it does affect the experience! read more

La Hotpot and BBQ - Spicy broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Came here on a Tuesday night. Had to leave, because we sat alone, unacknowledged by any of the staff for over 20 minutes. We came in a TUESDAY night around 730PM. The manager looked frantic, and there was a crowd of people in the front. We state that we are a party of 2, and the manager frantically said 30-45 minutes -even thought the tables were half empty. We sit down at the bar and decide to get a drink while we wait. Not an option either - the bar is dirty , hasn't been wiped off and no one is there to serve drinks. 5 minutes later the same frantic manager comes to seat us at a table in the corner. I guess the wait wasn't 30/45 minutes after all. Nice surprise I guess. We get seated at a table and are pretty much ignored the entire time- a hostess comes by to explain the menu and never brings us our server. There was no service, no water, or really anything in the first 25 minutes we sat down. We then proceeded to leave - as it was pretty obvious we were not gonna eat anytime soon. I would definitely not come back! The service was horrible - I can't imagine how poor the food quality could be. read more

Another hot pot & BBQ spot. La Hot Pot & BBQ is having its soft opening today. The selection is similar to other hot pot and BBQ restaurants in town. What worth mentioning is they have spicy broth and the super spicy butter broth as their soup bases. For seafood, besides crabs, clams, oysters, they also have shrimps with and without heads as well as the more convenient shell off shrimps. For BBQ, they have 8 types of marinated meat including short ribs, 4 types of seafood, including shrimps and satay marinated squid rings, baby octopus and baby cuttlefish and a variety of vegetables. $29.99 for hot pot only or $35.99 for hot pot and BBQ for dinner. $24.99 for hot pot only or $29.99 for hot pot and BBQ for lunch. They are offering $1 milk tea during their soft opening. They are at where Crab House used to be. read more

Its not what I thought it was and the food tasted old and had no flavor whatsoever never eating here again

If you must dine here, get the chicken fish maw soup - it's REALLY GOOD. I don't usually leave 1 star reviews but this place has really disappointed me. The food in general was not great. The variety is more limited than other spots and some dinner specials were unavailable and our server did not even tell us. - I ordered the blue crab thrice and it never came so I asked her upon ordering it for the 4th time and that was when she decided to tell me it's out of stock - We ordered 2 "marinated satay squid rings" for BBQ and the first portion that came was unmarinated so we gave her the benefit of doubt and just reordered. But! The second time it came, it was the same squid rings with no marinate. So I clarified with her that we wanted the marinated one and that was when she told us "oh it's sold out so I gave you the plain ones" - shouldn't you tell us instead of giving us something we did not order? - As seen in the photo, there are two different types of pork belly, one for hot pot and one for BBQ - we ordered the BBQ pork belly and she gave us the hot pot pork belly. When we clarified, she claimed it's the same. But we knew for a fact it isn't the same because other tables had the right bbq pork belly, so we pointed that out to her and she said sorry she was confused. Overall, a super chaotic experience. Food came out so slowly our party of 5 ended up leaving feeling unsatisfied and still hungry - this has never happened at an AYCE for us. Advice for the restaurant: it will be a lot easier and more efficient if you provided an ordering iPad for each table. Otherwise, print papers for order instead of getting us to write with a marker on the menu - we ended up getting things we did not order because the menu wasn't cleaned properly. So much confusion between the waiter and us. And mind you, we were able to communicate perfectly with her in mandarin but everything ended up wrong as well. And always let your customers know if the items they ordered are out of stock instead of replacing it with something they didn't order, especially since you charge for food waste. read more

We went for dinner on a Friday night, there was no wait and we did the hot pot and barbecue combo for $35 a person. One thing to be aware of is that everyone at your table has to do the same choice (ie hot pot only, barbecue only, or both). There are a wide variety of options including broths, meat, seafood, noodles, vegetables and a make your own sauce station. The selected portion sizes are very small so don't be afraid to select multiple options on your first round. The favorites at our table were the marinated pork belly and short ribs, the pickled daikon (radishes) from the sauce station, and the cream puffs. The staff was courteous and kind. One odd thing is that they don't seem to have beverages other than water. There is a bar with alcohol but we weren't offered anything other than water and there were no drinks listed on the menu (at least the menu we got). Wheelchair accessibility: in general you can tell that this restaurant has thought about wheelchair accessibility. There are a couple of accessible parking spots with wide access lanes. There are a set of double doors to get in without an automatic opener, they weren't very heavy and plenty of maneuvering room in between the sets. The layout is spacious and staff were very thoughtful about making sure we had a table that would work best for us. Unfortunately the way the hot pot table is set up, it is so low that I couldn't wheel my legs under it/get all the way up to the table which made it challenging and uncomfortable (and I am short statured so my legs are lower to the ground than most wheelchair users). This is different than other hot pot restaurants where I have been able to comfortably sit at the table. The women's bathroom had a fairly light door; the accessible stall was pretty tight with not much turning radius, and the bathroom was a bit grungy. read more

This little hidden gem has everything I could ever want in hotpot. They also have everything I could want in Korean bbq. Together! The food is extremely fresh and high quality. The atmosphere is cozy but spacious. This is a great place to bring guests. The service was exceptional, the owner even came by offering some good options to add to the meal. Which is saying something since it was already damn near perfect before hand. I almost didn't want to share this so I can keep this secret to myself. But it's too good not to. read more

Waited 15 minutes until we got our order of food. Mind you there are only 4 tables being occupied. The food is decent quality. In particular, the pork belly tasted fresh and not previously frozen. I cannot say the same for the rib eye. If you choose a soup base, be prepared to die with that soup bc asking to change soups is frowned upon. Our server lady gave zero sympathy for me asking to switch from their "spicy broth". It's a Szechuan base... you can tell by the amount of dried peppers when you fish out your hot pot items. I do appreciate the variety of dipping sauce available. However I was met with decision fatigue as finding the right sauce for the occasion felt overwhelming. Totally not their fault but just thought I'd mention. Good atmosphere in the restaurant so if you want an upscale experience - try it read more

Probably some of the best hot pot that I've had in Colorado! The meat seemed to be way more fresh than other places. All of the ingredients seemed to be in good shape. I appreciate the sauce bar, especially with how the soy sauce and sesame oil is set up. This place used to be something else, but I think some things could be fixed. The ambiance was fine, nothing special about it. I think the decor is left over from the previous business and isn't the cutest. But aesthetic doesn't matter when the food is good. Service was slow and at times forgetful. I wish things like the utensils and spoons were just already served at the table. Or maybe gloves to use when making sauce/grabbing things. There's plenty of room for germs to fester and spread pretty easily. read more

La Hotpot will never be a disappointing meal. Been here 4 times already and every time Ieft happy and full. Located in Wheatridge, you don't have much if any, options for hotpot. But if this is drive for you to get here, I promise you it is worth the drive. The cost of the AYCE Hotpot is $30, and you can add the bbq for $5 more. A lot of people still have the idea in their head the AYCE places have cheap ingredients, that they're not fresh, etc.. I will gladly say that La Hotpot is not that. I have had nothing but top quality ingredients! Especially the blue crab. You can taste the quality. And these crabs are always filled with roe! The other hotpot proteins are always good quality ingredients. You won't see any weird discoloration or see anything that will make you second guess what you're eating. Sure you will second guess gluttonous ways, but that's a different issue to discuss with your therapist... Or doctor. My favorite broth is the pork broth. I feel that has the best flavor and you can add chile oil to add spice. The sauce bar is also a must. They have that what you want to build the perfect sauce. I love that they keep the sauce bar clean and well stocked. This is also where you get your utensils. The Korean BBQ portion of this restaurant is also really good. One thing that they do here that other places don't is they put down parchment paper on the grill. This allows for a cleaner grill. Your proteins don't burn as easily. They don't have a large selection of proteins for the bbq but they have enough to keep you satisfied and full. You can also put the hotpot proteins on the grill to make your own special concoctions. I did try to pig's brains and it was too rich. I think grilling it on the grill but not in the bowl would have made it taste much better. I think what sets La Hotpot from the many Hotpot options in the Denver metro area are the workers here and the cleanliness of the restaurant. My opinion might be biased in this because I had the opportunity in meeting the owner. You can tell he was very passionate in delivering the best experience for his customers. Sure I can state the price, quality of ingredients, and good customer service. But anyone can say that for a lot of the other restaurants. I think what sets them apart is the consistency of quality in their service. Seeing the owner there pretty much everyday, and them keeping up with the cleanliness of the place is what you don't see often in restaurants. Looking forward to dining here again. read more

Probably one of the more disappointing hot pot/ Korean bbq I've ever had. We have been to a half dozen spots around Denver and LA. And this ranks very low quality and taste wise. The meat lacked flavor and tasted like freezer burn. I couldn't eat the short rib or any of the fatty beef. The sauce selection and sides just miss completely. The broth options are odd. I actually had to stop eating the food immediately and just paid the bill and left. Staff was super friendly read more

Food and drinks were delicious and fast! Plenty of options to choose from! Their menu even had cooking times on the back which is so helpful for someone how doesn't know 100% what they're doing.

I'm so happy to have a hot pot place in this area, and I really like this place. I admit that they seem to be chronically understaffed, so be prepared to wait, even if it's not busy. I hope this changes as they get more established. The butter broth is my favorite. It's medium spicy, but has a lot of Sichuan pepper, which I LOVE. The Tom yum broth is my other favorite, it's very chicken-y with a good amount of spice. Mmmmm. And make sure you try the blue crab. It's great. I really enjoy the sauce bar, too. They have a great selection of things to make your own sauce with. So many spices and herbs and peppers and oils and things to customize your experience. I only ever do the hot pot, but I think it's great that they have bbq available so you can do both if you want. And I can't help but have a little smile at the decor: they left up all the ocean themed decor from the previous restaurant (RIP Crab Shack), so you feel like you're walking into a beach side restaurant. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Great setup without the big exhaust fan in your face. Innovative split heaters for broth.

My boyfriend and I went to the grand opening and the owner was super friendly and gave us tons of ingredients. Everything is delicious! The reason I'm not giving more stars, is because we have been here 6 different times since the opening. Ever since, we have gotten the same waitress every time and she is very rude to us and we have no idea why. She smiles and laughs with all of the other tables around us, but when she waits on us, she won't smile, and talks so quiet I have to ask her to repeat what she says. We are always very polite and have manners, and we also tip well. I don't know why she acts like that towards us but it makes us not want to come back even though the food is so good. She also has made us wait about 30 mins to receive our bill, almost every time. I want to come enjoy this delicious restaurant, but she makes us feel like we're not welcome there. read more
