Great quality and amazing service for AYCE hotpot. The only downside is that there is less variety for meats but on the bright side they have a self service veggie bar. The menu comes with standard hot pot veggies and meats. They have a private room in the very back that allows for individual hotpot's whereas the rest of the restaurant is shared large hot pot! read more

For sure one of the spiciest hot pot broths I've had! But certainly delicious - meat and veggies were amazing quality and the sauce bar was fantastic. The All you can eat package was excellent. Servers were welcoming, patient, and fast. All around, your typical hot pot place when it comes to ambiance, but amazing quality and ample parking read more

I don't even know what to say; this was our worst experience ever on Mother's Day. The condiment table was extremely dirty, the dishes looked like they hadn't been washed, and the fried food was served cold. Furthermore, we couldn't find a server to refill our water or our soup base. This used to be a decent place, but it simply isn't worth visiting anymore. read more

After many years of going to the same hotpot location, I finally decided to try something new! This place only allows for all-you-can-eat packages due to the setup, but it was pretty reasonable with their options and selection. Make sure to go hungry! The service was good, and all meat orders had to go through them. Everything else was at a buffet bar. They also had a sauce bar and other cooked food available in addition to the hotpot. I like how we can eat at our pace, and go up to the ingredients bar whenever we would like. Definitely worth a visit! Pro-tip, even if you like spicy, note that the broth is VERY spicy. We got spice level 1 and that had plenty of chili for our group. read more

- new self serve bar! - Food: 4 stars Price: 2 stars Service: 3 atars Ambiance: 3 stars Overall: 3 stars I haven't been here for far too long, and I was surprised that they changed their business model. They are primarily all-you-can-eat now and you can order 5 types of meat from the server. You can also order fried pork, lamb/beef skewers, and glutinous rice cake with brown sugar for the regular option (you have to pick the premium AYCE if you want high-end meat like Australian/American wagyu or seafood like crab legs or oyster. It's about an extra $20 on top). We picked the regular option and chose the spicy house special soup with the highest spicy level (3 pepper icons on the menu) and the signature pork tripe with black pepper and chicken soup base. The server was like "are you sure about that?" after I told him we want the super spicy option lol. He probably thought we are insane.. I never touched that side of the pot, but one of our friends was constantly sweating and they all said it was spicy. There are 3 areas where you can get your food, the self-serve ingredients bar, the sauce bar, and the snacks bar. The snacks bar was hidden at the side, and the egg rolls that I got were cold. There are sesame balls, shrimp crackers (蝦片）and other stuff too. I like the self-serve area since you can get most of your ingredients on your own, including crown daisy, shrimp paste, mussels, squid, shrimps, bamboo shoots, seaweed knots, taro, potato, quail eggs, lotus roots, mushrooms, noodles, etc (around 35 options here). Since we have no clue what meat was good, we ordered one of each for the 4 of us and those were the only meat we ordered, along with the skewers and the fried pork. We almost finished all the meat, but the friend with a big appetite was focusing on mussels instead. The sauce bar is pretty standard, it has 3 side dishes/appetizers, 2 kinda of fruit (orange and cantaloupe when I was there), 2 kinda of dessert (mung bean soup and jelly/liangfen 涼粉). There also teach you how to make some sauces on the wall as well, with information on what sauce is good for spicy/non-spicy/all soup base. Thee sesame sauce for spicy soup was a life changer since the it helped coping with spiciness for my friends. We dined for almost 2 hours and we were super full. I made a reservation the night before, and picked the last time slot available that's close to dinner time (5:15pm). We were late by 5 minutes, but they gave us a seat right away. The restaurant was about 20% full in the main dining area, and it was around 85% full when we left. There were also 3-4 groups waiting when we left around 7pm. The price was a bit high for me, and I think it's slightly higher than happy lamb. I don't feel there is a significant difference between the quality of meat/food between the two places. However, I like the option of taking your own ingredients instead of waiting for them to bring it to you... It's more fun lol. My friends were constantly appreciating the food and how yummy it was, so it's worth it still. I read that the premium upgrade isn't worth it, but I can't comment on it without ordering it. However if you are a big mussels/shrimp person, the regular option is good enough without losing an extra $20 per person. read more

They have a couple of different menus, whether you want premium or standard meat. For the premium meat, it is pretty spendy per person. Service was pretty good. They came by and checked on us every so often what I really liked was that all the veggies were on the cold bar and you could just go pick what you wanted to get you. Just ordered the meat and they would deliver it a little by little. The spicy broth was pretty spicy and we asked for it not too spicy. I ended up having diarrhea right after the meal, and I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if it was the seasoning in the spicy broth or cross contamination with seafood or what had that's why I can't say I would recommend it. read more

They have all you can eat hot pot so I ate a lot. Broth was ok, ingredients were fresh, and the meats were good. Service was good as well. The restaurant is well lit and has plenty of seating but it does get full. Make a reservation if going on the weekend. Parking lot is small so you might have to park across the street at the shopping center. Lots of sauces to choose from. read more

Broth is extremely bland, and has no flavor. Please see how happy lamb makes it. Pretty much every broth of happy lamb is full of flavor. Meat cuts were good, service was fast. But it felt like eating meat cooked in plain water. That broke the experience for me. read more

Very solid place for AYCE hot pot. You can choose between the regular or premium course and can order 3 rounds (similarly to other AYCE hot pot). Sauce bar was included with the AYCE price and kept very clean and they had their own recommended sauce recipe that you can try. We ordered the spicy broth (level 1) and golden chicken. Both broths had a okay flavor to them, didn't taste watery in my opinion but I couldn't really taste a strong flavor. I thought the broth wasn't spicy at all but my boyfriend did so be warned if you get that and have a lower spice tolerance. We also got the premium set and I was very impressed with the selection and quality of the meats. I think we tried almost all of the meat that was available and all of them were very tender. A lot of variety for the veggies and tofu and other add ins. I also thought the seafood platter was incredible, with crab, scallops, mussels, abalone, and shrimp. I think I will just stick with the meats though as the seafood was hard to eat in hot pot. There is a chance that you have to share a table with another group. Or if you are going in a bigger group then there should be lots of space for your entire group to sit. Service was very efficient as they brought out items pretty quickly. I find the taste and quality of Liuyishou hot pot to be better than other AYCE options in the area, so this may be my preferred place. read more

Delicious AYCE hot pot spot! High quality meats and flavorful broths! Parking is super convenient because they have a parking lot. Ambiance is nice and clean. Sauce bar was well maintained. My husband and I indulged in their premium wagyu and seafood AYCE hot pot and there were so many items to choose from! We got the split broth - tomato and their spicy broth which were both very tasty! I was really happy that the premium included their sauce bar and all-you-can drink beverages which were noted on the menu. Sauce bar had a nice variety and they also had ice jelly! SO GOOD! I was pretty obsessed with their wagyu items. Everything was such good quality! Their beef skewers were also really tasty and flavorful and I really enjoyed their noodles that went well with the hot pot. Overall, this spot is one of our top spots for hot pot! We really love them and service was so friendly and efficient! Highly recommend! read more

Soup is pretty basic! But there are different Choices with the base soup being a bone broth. There is a good sauce bar and it also has pictures that show different sauces you can make. The veggie option that is okay... the seafood bar is not the best. They have a variety of desserts and you can ask for ice cream at the end! Service not the best, but what can you expect. Also if party of 6 or more they will automatically add a 20% tip, crazy. read more

Food quality is amazing - I love the fish 黑鱼片 and shrimp balls (虾滑）in my hot pot. I brought my kids who both loved the tomato base soup. Super kids friendly. We also ordered the mushroom based soup, which tasted fresh and delicious. I did not feel thirsty after my meal which is the way I know there was not much MSG or additives in the soup. Price is very reasonable considering the food quality. read more

It's off the beaten path, looks a little sketch...but it is hands down the best hot pot we have found recently. The sauce bar is great, the veg options plentiful and the service was top tier. They refill the pots and check up if you want more meat constantly. Great service. Until something better opens we will be making the trek to Bellevue for hot pot, they even have a nice little water view from the dining room. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday and got the $20 lunch special (and added the sauce and side bar for $3 more). This was an amazing deal for the amount of food provided, as you get beef, lamb, mushrooms, veggies, noodles, seafood, and more. I came with two other people so not sure if you're only limited to one broth if by yourself, but we ended up sharing the pork bone broth and the Liu's famous spicy broth. Both were excellent and paired well with the fresh ingredients. Overall a very satisfying and good value lunch! read more

Great spot in Bellevue for hot pot! You can choose between AYCE and a la carte. AYCE is $35 for lunch and $40 for dinner and weekends which is comparable to other hot pot places. The restaurant is spacious with a good size parking lot. They offer a variety of meat, seafood, vegetables and noodles. The sauce bar is also free with the AYCE option which also offers some apps and desserts! My favorite was the thinly sliced meat that they slice at the kitchen window when you order. The soups are also flavorful without being too oily read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Hot pot was a great idea on the cold night that I went, however I was sad that this restaurant took the place of Noble Court which was one of my favorite places for dim sum. In any case, we went around 8:30pm so it wasn't crowded and we were seated right away. They have an all you can eat option but chose the a la carte option this time. The menu had good clear pictures and it was easy to order, and the service and food delivery were super quick. I think they have a good variety of meats, veggies and more plus a side bar with other side dishes and desserts. All of the food tastes fresh and delicious and I would definitely go back for the all you can eat option. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot is a solid spot for hot pot around Bellevue, especially if you're looking for an all-you-can-eat option around town. We enjoyed coming here for lunch with friends as there were plenty of options and the employees were friendly. We made reservations for the six of us, which you can easily do online through Google. We visited on a Saturday at lunch time and the place wasn't too busy, but there was a good amount of people dining in. Therefore, if you're planning to feast with a group, make reservations. You'll be seated immediately. The space is located off of 140th across the Safeway shopping plaza, so is easy to find. This used to be an old dim sum place, but they've done a great job renovating the space, making it modern and spacious. For the six of us, we were seated in a large booth and shared one hot pot, with two flavors. My partner and I chose the golden chicken broth while our friends had the pork bone one. For the AYCE option on weekends, its about $40, which seems like a standard price for AYCE hot pot and comparable to another AYCE hot pot spot nearby. You get plenty to choose from, with different proteins, veggies and starches. With the hot pot, you also get free range of the sauce bar where you can make your own dipping sauce for the meat, and they have small plate items, like appetizers and fruit. You'll have to ask the staff for the strawberry ice cream when you're ready for dessert. Highlights for me were the thinly sliced beef, fried rice, fresh tofu and napa cabbage. But most importantly, the golden chicken broth was the best part - as it should be. It had a lot of flavor for the goods to soak in. I would get this broth again even though there is a good variety of different broths to choose from. All in all, Liuyishou is definitely an option if you want AYCE hot pot in Bellevue. read more

The food was good and the wait was not bad. I wanted the ring of meat which I did not know was not all you can eat and I came there for the all you can eat so will want to try it next time!! Did not know if you are a smaller party though you share the table with another small party which is fine but a warning before being seated would have been good to know!! Will stick to their non spicy soup bases though because even with one spice the spicy soup base was indeed very spicy for my low spice tolerance!! The pork belly and sliced beef were my favorite. Love their fresh mango juice and the pitcher it comes in. read more

This is a catch-up review to remind myself I have eaten here before. :) When I went, it was not all you can eat format, which I like a lot! I enjoy over-ordering and taking home my leftovers. I am disappointed that they switched to AYCE. The place is well-layout. The food is the right portion for the individual dishes and cost. We tried many items, and they let us take home the leftovers. It was AWESOME. Anyway, we ordered: Liu's House Special Soup Base House Special Pork Bone Soup Base Sauce Bar for two people Liu's Beef & Lamb Platter Seafood Platter (small) Signature Tofu Skin (small) Wintermelon (small) Hand-Made Noodle Honestly, we enjoyed all our food. The soup is what makes the difference doing a hotpot, and we like both of ours. We took our sweet time enjoying the food. It was more expensive to order a la carte vs the AYCE pricing now, but we also took home plenty of leftovers including the soup! read more

First time trying hot pot, which is similar to Japanese shabu shabu. Stop by here the other night with another family to do Chinese hot pot. Similar feel to a Japanese Shabu place, but the broth are definitely different. In addition, the meats or à la cart, as well as all the other items. The beef was on par with other Shabu places, but I thought the fish was a little bit on the frozen side and took longer to cook. Do be aware that you share a giant pot that can be divided into three but overall you are really sharing and don't have your individual pots. Overall a very pleasant experience and will definitely try it next time again. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Shared pot, split up in three ways. You still share the different broths. - Hot Pot Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This was the second time I've been here and the first since they've changed to the self serve bar. I don't remember what it was the last time I went since I split with a bunch of friends but I'm not a fan of the self serve bar change. The sauce bar hasn't changed much from the last time I was there. It's the ingredients to make a sauce, some side dishes, fruit and dessert. They still have signs in case you're not sure how to make a good sauce. The veggie and fried foods were different. The options for veggies felt less than what they had prior to having a self serve bar. Also while I'm not necessarily the most knowledgeable about food safety, there's something that screams "will give you food poisoning" about raw shrimp and raw fish just sitting out. The fried food is at a completely different corner and what I tried wasn't good. I love getting fried buns but these were hard as a rock from being out for so long. The egg roll I tried was soggy leaving the only thing okay from that section to be the pawn crackers. There are 2 other items that could be tried in that corner but that's for someone else to take a gamble with. The meat seemed to be alright, some of it was likely sliced right before making it to the table as it hadn't yet curled in on itself yet. The sides that come along with the basic AYCE price included lamb skewers and I would not recommend. They're dry and felt like they'd been sitting outside for a minute. Ice cream is also available and is a nice little scoop of vanilla. Overall, it's an underwhelming experience. I will say AYCE can be easier with a smaller group since it's less commitment to an entire order of something. The self serve bar just left something to be desired to me and in its current state, I wouldn't choose this as my go to hot pot location. read more

Great food! And delicious, really good options. So many friend food and seafood options included.

This place has the best hotpot in the area. The food's always great. The broth is always perfect and the cuts of meat are fresh. Service has always been good and efficient. The new all you can eat is with the buffet style is an improvement too! read more

Liuyishou Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Went on a Friday night, it was pretty packed but they had another side dining area. The only difference was they had the gas burner versus the flat induction. Which was fine since we didn't want to wait another 45min. It worked out in our favor because the main dining room was really warm when we went to the sauce bar. They had authentic Chinese ingredients and the meat was so fresh! Everything was sliced to order. The sauce bar had all sorts of condiments plus pig ears, fruit and other things. They also had Chinese tea eggs, buns and sesame balls. Everything was delicious and AYCE has lots of options! Service was decent, wished they came by a bit more often but they were so kind with every interaction! The main dining area is definitely more 'instagrammable' but I prefer the side dining area which was a lot cooler (temperature wise) and less crowded. read more

Came on a Saturday for dinner at around 7pm! Unfortunately we had to wait about an hour for 5 groups in front of us, but it was worth the wait. My party got a half Golden Chicken soup and a half Tomato soup base, and they gave us extra tomato paste at the start to mix into our broth! At a $40 price point per person, I was surprised to see that they only did three "rounds" of servings. However, after seeing the first serving, I understood - they give a LOT of food for each plate. It was surprisingly great value and amazing quality of food. My favorites were the sweet potato vermicelli, both cuts of lamb, frozen tofu, quail eggs, and sole fillet. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the fish because I am not normally a fan of seafood in hot pot. Outside of the hot pot, I also really liked the tea eggs and the fruit tea. I would not recommend getting the fish balls with fish roe or the sesame balls, unfortunately. I also wish they had a bigger selection of veggies or at least had bokchoy! I would also add a note of caution for potato and crab, since they get lost easily or broken up easily... so you should ask for a net if you get those items. I would definitely come back for AYCE hotpot! I loved the service here and the selection. read more

I've been to this hotpot place many times as it's cost-efficient and delicious!! You order from a big piece of paper menu. Highly recommend beef and lamb wheel which is Instagram-worthy and the golden chicken soup base which is very fresh and delish. You can also see they slice the fresh meat right there in the kitchen. The staff is always friendly and efficient. The restaurant is cute and decorated with many cute stuffed animals. I recommend getting a reservation esp for on the weekends. Parking can be a little difficult as the parking spots are usually taken during normal meal hours. read more

Decent hotpot that is all you can eat. I was actually hoping for a la carte but they didn't have that option. The meat was pretty good. The vegetables and other incidentals were fresh. They had a good variety of things to make sauces. Next time I go I'll come hungrier. read more

This is an overall rating for the restaurant. Food is 4/5 but service is 2/5. Once we decided what we want, we waited for the server to come up but no one checked on us so I had to walked up to a server to hand them my order. We were out of water for a while and I had to waved down a server to help us with refill. There was a female server who seems to be working hard checking on us and various tables but other servers who were just standing around. Their meat combo/ring is great as the meat slices were huge and great portion. I like the combination mushrooms and vegetables to have more variety. I wish there were stronger flavor in the tomato broth but the spicy beef broth was good and definitely gets spicier overtime. I'm not sure if I will come back as the service was a terrible experience. read more

Pretty good experience, good selection of hot pot add ins and overall flavor of things is pretty strong. Total was 90 before tip, that's not with the AYCE either ($40 each). I liked the snack bar with flavorful tea eggs and little soggy egg rolls, there were also shrimp chips, mantua and red bean filled sesame balls (greasy), it was all warm and a bottle of condensed milk. The sauce bar had a few cold "salads" that I enjoyed (black fungus, celery, peanuts, carrot and a cucumber one). We ordered the spicy soup (hottest level) and mushroom and Chinese herb split soup, fatty beef and pork belly platter, half cabbage, crown daisy, mushroom platter, tofu skin, and lotus. Desserts were ok, sago was fine and clear jelly was just meh. I want to give more stars but my partner had pretty bad stomach aches that night and the next morning so we threw away the leftovers. read more

Came here with a reservation for 5 for lunch on a saturday. We didn't want to do AYCE so we ordered individual items. Didn't manage to take pictures since I was with people who don't post things. But we got a split soup with golden chicken and the special soup base. We ordered the normal beef dishes and also did the deep fried dragon beard, seafood platter, and the dried and crisp vegetable (gong cai) on their menu. The beef was pretty good but my favorites were the fish inside the seafood platter and the gong cai since the texture is great and they have a nice wide cut. We also got the sauce bar and the signature fruit tea. The fruit tea was pretty good since it's refillable and not too sweet. read more

New favorite spot! I decided to go here on Saturday evening because I knew that most other places would be quite full. Upon arriving there was a few parking spots left and once parked we joined the waitlist and were seated about 45 minutes later. We got the AYCE and ordered a bunch, we received soooo much meat and noodles and mushrooms and everything. The meat was very delicious, the sauce bar was packed with options, and other premade foods like egg rolls, fries, donuts, salads, and fruit. And, the sauce bar was free with AYCE. The service was great, and the broth and food was amazing, for only $40 per person it was a fantastic deal and I will definitely be back. read more

Really disappointed to see how downhill this place has gone. We used to frequent it regularly, but they have recently pivoted to an All You Can Eat model. Even the base price for AYCE is quite high, and especially not worth it if you are vegetarian or have dietary restrictions. It feels like they shifted to this model as an excuse to cut costs on labor, since the restaurant was extremely understaffed, which resulted in terrible service. It often took multiple attempts to have someone answer our questions or refill our water and soup stock, and we were waiting for our check for about 30 minutes after their own self-proclaimed cutoff time of 2 hours per table. The ingredient variety and quality has diminished significantly, especially for the potatoes and bamboo, and the beef meatballs tasted rancid. There weren't as many vegetable and mushroom options as before, and ingredients were sitting out in the buffet area for a significant time. The serving utensils were dirty and there wasnt enough for each ingredient, leading to the possibility for cross contamination. Considering there are so many new hotpot restaurants in the area, we won't be going back. read more

Really good hot pot! Their spicy bases are really spicy even at the lowest spice level, but very flavorful. I would recommend getting one spicy and one non-spicy soup base to have some reprieve from the spice. Their meats are pretty high quality and you can see them slicing the meats to order. We ordered based expecting quantities that we are used to seeing at other places like Hai Di Lao and Dolar Shop and it ended up being way too much! Portion sizes are more generous here so we ended up being stuffed. I would definitely come back again (and order less next time!) read more

This place serves Sichuan (Chongqing) style hotpot, which is unique from other hotpot places! It feels like a very Chinese restaurant (and this is coming from a Chinese person) since they have amenities like a phone charging station and little snacks and deodorizing sprays for after the meal, which is typical in China. The meat selection is definitely a highlight of this restaurant, they offer many fun options like duck blood, goose intestine, and different tripe options. The soup base is also super spicy and delicious, it tastes quite authentic. I love the sauce bar, I was pleasantly surprised that one of the cold dishes contained tripe as well, which you would usually have to pay extra for. We were sat in a separate area from the main booths where there weren't any induction stoves, so the hotpot was placed on a butane burner instead. This also made the pot a lot taller than it would be usually, and since the table was small, I ended up burning my arm on the pot while reaching for some meat. Honestly though, I only have myself to blame for that, but it's just something to note seating-wise. Another note is that one thing they're known for is a platter of raw meat served in a ring surrounding the hotpot, so that everyone has equal access to the meat. Since we were sat at a different area with smaller tables, we weren't able to experience this. This place isn't as pricy as some other high-end hotpot places in the area (eg. Dolar Shop), but we still spent around $140 for 3 people, which is more than some other AYCE hotpot places. I would probably come back here for special occasions only, but even then I would rather choose an AYCE hotpot place. It's definitely worth trying at least once though! read more
