This place is truly spectacular. It is a great value as well if you've got eaters in your family. There is a huge vast variety of food choices to put in your hot pot, and many choices for broth to cook it in. By far, our favorite was the pork bone broth, which is the house specialty. And then, if your hot pot broth is not to your liking, you can alter it using the sauce and seasoning bar. We also got the Szechuan peppercorn and the wild mushroom broth, all three were good. The Szechuan peppercorn was a bit of a one trick pony, but if you cooked it in pork broth and then dipped it in Szechuan peppercorn broth oh, it was delicious.. Anything and everything you'd want to put in your hot pot is available and you could just go get it for yourself. I really like this element because there are things I don't want in my hot pot and there's things I want doubly in my hot pot., and with this model, I can select whatever I want. You can also get all you can eat off the menu as well, for dim sum and grilled items, but honestly, we couldn't eat very much of those. We were very full from hot pot. I highly recommend spending the three dollars for the all you can drink tea and lemonade. It was also to die for. I don't usually drink sugar drinks, but I made an exception today and I am not sorry. I also wanna give a shout out to the staff who were incredibly helpful and kind. Thank you, Abigail and the guy whose name I didn't catch.. read more

The lunch "all you can eat" deal is very affordable here at $19.99 per person. You can select multiple soup bases for the table and each person can pick out individual items to cook. The veggies, meats, noodles, etc. are all self serve from refrigerators in a hallway in the restaurant. I was a bit disappointed in their lack of vegetable options, and it seemed like certain items were limited and did not get replaced often in the refrigerators. The soups were also not as flavorful as other hot pot restaurants I've been to. read more

I've been to Legendary Spice Hot Pot a few times, and every visit has had the same issue: consistently poor customer service and very incompetent staff. I guess maybe instead of investing in a music machine that makes you pay to listen to songs, please use that money towards hiring better quality workers and to go get your supply for your restaurant. Even when it's not busy (lots of open seats), it's still hard to get anyone's attention. We've had to wave servers down multiple times just for basic things. Didn't know working for the job you signed up for is enabling that behavior towards customers :) On one visit, they said they "ran out" of spoons... at a hot pot restaurant. I was given a spork or the only other sad option... to use the ladle, which felt unprofessional and inconvenient. Staff were also on their phones in front of customers instead of being attentive, and they're often out of multiple items like vegetables, seafood, and skewers. I gave this place multiple chances, but the service and overall experience have been consistently disappointing. Please try out other hot spot restaurant's nearby before you step into this one. read more

We were driving around st. Paul late one evening looking for something to eat. We were surprised alot of restaurants close at 10pm, so we headed towards university area. Legendary spice was lit and open until 1am. They have hot pot only option $45 or combination of hot pot and everything on their menu $50. That includes dim sum and chinese food. I chose the tom yum broth, was pretty tasty. And the sauce station to create the dipping sauce. The meats and veggies are in the back, the meats are packed individually. I was surprised to see this, quite unique and sanitary. You can go back for more meats and veggies. They have pre-made Boba drinks as well in the fridge. The server is very helpful guiding us to everything and refill our broth. read more

Delicious, and the robot sang a song! Each broth was more delicious than the last! Wait staff was very friendly and prompt!

I came here twice, because it was very good and worth the price! We normally get two types of broth, mushroom flavor and the spicy one. If it gets too spicy, you can take out the spices and add more water, fixable. They have a separate section of meat and vegetables in the fridge and freezer. At least we know they are fresh and you can select whichever one you want. I enjoyed the sauce station, make your or you can follow their suggested list. Highly recommend. Parking maybe a pain to find one because it is next to campus. Enjoy! read more

Wanted to treat myself to hot pot and I will not being going back here. You have to grab your own hot pot ingredients. The only thing the server does is bring you the soup base. You grab your own drinks too. The raw ingredients were old and stale. The Napa cabbage had black spots all over it. The meat was somehow also gross. I honestly didn't think you could have bad hot pot but this was it. The crazy part is the price. $100 for 2 people to have trash hot pot. Ambiance was pretty mid. Restaurant is very kitschy and the bathrooms are gross. Just so disappointing. I treat myself to celebratory hot pot and I was so so so let down. Didn't get sick though so two stars read more

We've been here twice now and both times the restaurant has been great quality, great service, and a lot of fun.

If we're going to do hot pot all you can eat, we're going to come here. read more

Terrible experience at Legendary Spice Hot Pot yesterday! We had a big group with some dietary restrictions (veg, non-pork) so we ordered accordingly, keeping veg and meat broths separate. Then we learn that they were refilling our broths with bone broth even in the veg. This was frustrating as we had clearly explained the restrictions. We brought this up to the manager Eric, since we had already informed them of the restrictions and he proceeded to call the cops on us because he said he didnt know what to do. We were hoping to get some of the meals comped or at the very least, an apology. But we got neither. And he even tried blaming it on his waiter. No accountability! Manager Eric was not considerate in people's religious and dietary beliefs. This guy should not be manager and does not respect his customers. On top of it all, he had the audacity to charge 20% gratuity. We appreciate these police officers hearing our side and mediating the situation, however it should have never gotten to this point. read more

Fantastic food! Great environment and the food was absolutely phenomenal. The noodles were top tier!

I'm was so disappointed tonight. My boyfriend and I have tried a few hotpot places and this has to be the least favorite. The spicy broth was wayyyyy to spicy - I couldn't even eat any of the food I cooked in the broth and the bbq options were over seasoned. Our server was very helpful and attentive to our table though. Our water jug was always full. Sesame Balls were good. Probably won't be returning. read more

Everything is top notch. 10 out of 10. Service is excellent. Our waitress Sarah is very nice and attentive to our party of 8

Very good food and a great staff! The robot that serves you is super cool! Definitely would recommend

Food was amazing! Staff were very friendly and attentive and ordering system was quite simple and streamlined. Me and my family got the all you can eat combo and we ordered a non spicy and their spiciest soup in a split bowl. The spiciest was super spicy but still tasty. I don't think our family could handle though lol. The staff provided solutions for the very spicy soup which was very helpful. 10/10 would come again. Atmosphere was very welcoming and calm and had a very bright and colorful space. read more

This *WAS* my favorite go-to hot pot in Minneapolis until this genuinely upsetting experience. Whoever this new manager is for this location, HE IS NOT FIT FOR MANAGEMENT. After we had informed our waiter that half of our table was vegetarian/non-pork consuming, we had ordered the mushroom broth only to have them REFILL OUR SOUP WITH PORK. After approaching management to try to fix the situation, the police were called even though there was no sort of instigation. Manager didn't even want to speak to us or have a real conversation about it, just immediately called the police. The officers tried to get them to rectify the situation, but in the end we had to get an itemized reciept and file a dispute with our credit card company. Completely incompetent manager.. what kind of restaurant calls the police on their customers when theres a problem with the food?? read more

I wish I could give it a 0 This is based off only the sesame chicken I ordered at $20 through a delivery service, they had a special so it was buy 1 get 1 The chicken is more breading than chicken and the sauce has something extra that takes away from the flavor with no heat at all. If you're thinking of ordering sesame chicken, don't read more

Legendary Spice Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I did the all you can eat hot pot, which was a terrible decision. It took a good 15 minutes after I ordered my soup base for it to come out (I will say that they do have a lot of soup bases to choose from, but you get charged for it on top of the AYCE price). The server definitely forgot because another one stopped by and asked if I had ordered my soup base yet and then brought it within 3 minutes. You get the meats, vegetables and noodles from fridges yourself but this was where the problem came in! Almost everything was out (with the exception of some random meats and fish balls). Every vegetable was out besides one mushroom tray I was able to grab. They said that they would be restocking the fridge, but not one additional item was added to the fridge in the hour + that I was there. I also asked 3 different people for noodles (a simple instant ramen noodle) and was first told that they would put some in the fridge and then was even told they'd bring it to my table. Not surprisingly, no noodles. They list sooo many items to choose from, but there was basically nothing in stock. The manager was a nice guy and told me at the end of my meal that there were a bunch of new people working in the kitchen (not exactly sure how that affects running out of food). However, the servers were the least helpful people I've ever seen in a restaurant. Just incredibly lazy, hanging out on their phones behind the bar. One was supposed to come right back with the noodles but walked back to the kitchen only to return to his bar hang out position without even so much as a glance in my direction. I never write reviews but I want people to know what they're getting into before going. I'm sure this place would be pretty good if they actually had any food items to hot pot with (it could potentially be a 4 or 5 star, but even 2 stars would be too generous when there's literally nothing to eat hot pot with and the servers are living on another planet). The price is also pretty wild since you get charged for the soup base and the dipping sauce bar on top of the stayed all you can eat price. read more

OVERALL: Tasty hot pot place! A little pricier than others, but you get more variety. PRICE: It's $45/person for AYCE. Note, they only do AYCE on Tuesdays and Thursdays. BROTH: If you don't already know, the broth is make it break when it comes to hot pot. Typically I get the spicy broth, but here they kick it up a notch. There is no Minnesota spicy option here so make sure to warn friends. I'd recommend getting one of the bone broths or mushroom broth and then adding in spice. Their base level "mild" for the beef spicy is a 6-7 on the heat scale for me. It was SO flavorful though. FOOD: With the AYCE you got to choose from all the typical hot pot items as well as barbecue, dim sum and appetizers. We ordered a couple of pieces from each. I loved the dim sum options and it was definitely worth paying extra (in comparison to their other restaurant Legendary Spice around the corner ) to have these options. You got them yourself from the fridge, and we stocked up on the meats, and my favorite the enoki mushrooms. We definitely got our money's worth, so just go in with the right expectations! SERVICE: The service was so helpful. They explained the process and also our ordered food came very quickly. They also made sure to top off our hot pot when it started to get low. They were also accommodating when the spice level was too hot for the broth, and swapped us out for some lower heat ones. They went above and beyond. read more

The restaurant just Open for few days. The table set up similar to the famous Haidilao chains. Because, it is a soft opening. They are still training many stages of crews and kitchen preparations. However , it is the only hotpot that near to the real set up of Szechuan / Chinese Hotpot. The remaining Hotpot places in twin cities are more like amateurs ( trying but can not committed to doing it properly. Their meat slices looked either came from frozen sections in the Asian supermarkets or couldn't effort to slice them correctly. This restaurant actually has Meat Slicer. It is still far from running as Haidilao's In many elements. I have to give them a thumb's up for trying. The service crews are very good already. Just need attention to the Spice Stations , no correct / proper labelings. The ordering system look like still figuring out how to. read more
