Service 3/5 Quality of Protein 4/5 Condiment Bar/Snack Bar/Self Serve 2/5 Side street parking and backlot parkade available My friend is a VIP here so clearly it's one of his go to hot pots. It was my first time here, as I was on a recent hot pot spell. We came here for dinner and it was under $60 a person with drinks. I wasn't wowed with the broth or protein, it was just allot of protein. The snack bar was rather limited and the items were barely warm. Desserts at the bar was below average. The quality of the unlimited drinks was the highlight (non alcoholic). Not running back. read more

Horrible much better hot pot places. Server does not explain anything on how long to cook each item. You can only choose 2 broths. The self serving area for seafood, vegetables seemed very unsanitary and not food safe. Disappointed with this dining experience. read more

I had been to other Liuyishou locations as well as other hotpot places and this one is by far on the lower end of the scale The all you can eat hotpot price is within the same range as other hotpot places in the area. But the food choices are very limited conpared to others. For example, only starch choice available was udon and no others They did have a few cooked food items such as fried chicken and spicy pig ears. Both are ok and average. We chose the 2 soup base hotpot (sechuan spicy and pepper porkbelly) combo with bbq. The soup base was very salty. Dessert choice was only limited to one as well I would not recommend this restaurant as there are many other choices within 5min drive. read more

After I got the food promo for this place and we asked the server to explain the 'deal', it wasn't such a great deal after all. You essentially had to be a paid member to get this offer. There were too many rules. For a certain price, you only got specific food items and for other food items it entailed having your food weighed. read more

I had such good first time experience helped by this really cute Yin server. She serves you with such smiley face, comfort and welcoming. She will accommodate and explain any concern, best and not least. Her recommendations from menu is on point. My friends came visit from out of town. This is our first time and it was the best night. They deserved the extra~extra tip for being just awesome. FYI- thanks for understanding of our minor misbehave!!! top pick from Wagyu selection - the short rib read more

Looks like competition is heating up around town, with this chain finally joining the dark side of AYCE goodness. About time. Parking is available in the parkade beneath the building, as well as on the side streets. The place is average sized, but it sure was packed. The waiting area here is way too small. People were crowding outside. Inside looks pretty dated (several restaurants have died in this space) and the renovations look pretty minimal. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Ordering was a bit annoying as they do it by tablet instead of order sheet, so my friends and I couldn't just fill out a form. We often had to wait a few minutes to find someone to top up water or soup or take our orders. The sauce station is pretty good, with the usual expected fixings. There is also a hot food station with chicken karaage which is nice. The food selection is very decent. Their claim to fame is their meat ring which surrounds the pot. See photos. This more for show, and is obviously a relic from their non AYCE days. Selection is a bit lighter than the competition, but there were no glaring omissions. They do have skewers for an additional cost. The staff didn't skimp out on any parts of our orders, which is also worth a special mention. Lastly, be sure to save some room for the ice cream. If I were to rank this place, I would put it slightly below Marble House (Crystal Mall) in terms of quality, but the pricing here is quite a bit better. I would gladly come back for more self destruction. Recommended. read more

I love hotpot and this is my first time going with my group of friends. We definitely like this spot more than happy lamb. Price is about $50 per person with tips. Service is kinda slow at busy time but friendly staff. The soup is kinda salty. Ingredients are fresh. Love their chicken wings. Their passion fruit tea is delicious. We would come back. read more

Their beef and lamb ring was quite impressive and their golden chicken broth was delicious. I liked having the buzzer to call for service as it was hard to see the spot where the staff were standing near the kitchen. Service was attentive and our server took her time explaining how things worked and explained the spice levels. It came to about $25 pp for 5 of us, I think we could have ordered a bit more next time but it was also nice to have items that didn't require cooking. read more

Not a huge fan of their soup base. We got their house spicy and tomato broth. They add lemons to their tomato broth which made it way too sour. Stay away from their tomato broth. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot Burnaby - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

My friend and I tried this place for lunch after the restaurant changed over to AYCE! The service was very attentive and the server explained things well. The ring of lamb and beef that surrounded the soup was pretty cool and the server made recommendations on what to cook first. We were excited they had deep fried bun with condensed milk included but unfortunately this was stale. Overall, it was what we expected. We try a lot of different hot pot places and nothing really stood out for us with this establishment. In my opinion, happy lamb is very similar but cheaper for lunch, and ChoCho late night special is better. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot Burnaby - Menu prices for ayce - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Chinese hot pot chain with signature cow-shaped butter/oil for their soup base. They have outdoor seating for summer, and a larger indoor dining room all year round. Servers are helpful but very busy. They don't check on the table, so you need to flag down help. They speak Mandarin here and a little English depending on the person. Luckily we had a Mandarin speaker in our party of 5, so we got on fine. The food was good. Sauce station was full. Tried some things I've never had before. This is a la carte dining - not AYCE. So it was a bit pricey though at $60 pp. You could join their annual membership for $28 pp, and get discounts on some menu items. read more

* ANON FOODIE YVR - for honest opinions! Not your typical foodie account. DO NOT EAT HERE NO MATTER WHAT YOUR TIKTOK FOODIE SAYS!!!! First time at this hotpot place since we wanted to try somewhere new. After watching multiple tiktoks we decided to come and give it a shot since it looked appetizing. If you search this place up on tiktok (burnaby location) you will see some of the popular foodies of YVR review this resto. (You know which ones) This is how I know I will never trust their opinions again. Its blatantly obvious they ate here for free in exchange for a great review. PROS - Empty CONS - Limited sauce options (Wilted vegs, flies, not replenished) - VERY PRICEY! (Subjective but we'll tell you the cost at the end) - Poor/little portions (Extremely thin meat, wilted veggies, only 5 pcs of bean curd, undercooked rice, wintermelon can was very dusty.) - Poor service (Hard getting their attention, felt like a hassle to them as the tone and mannerisms reciprocated were the opposite, had to ask for chopsicks and spoons, they did the bare minimum) - Dirty dishes (My spoon looked like it had oil stains from the last wash, plate as well) PRICE BREAK DOWN -------------------- $3.95 for sauce and sides - usually would be free at other places. $21.95 2 flavour soup base $25.95 beef & lamb platter $5.95 bean curd roll for 5 pcs only $15.95 vegetable platter (if you saw the platter you'd be shocked) And we were still hungry.... read more

Liuyishou Hotpot Burnaby - Chinese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Must try their meat combo, come with a nice ring stand, save a lot of space on the table. read more

Liuyishou Hotpot is one of the many Szechuan hotpot restaurants that have opened up in Vancouver over the last few years. Specializing in Chongqing-style hotpots, this is definitely more suited to diners who have a thing for spicy food. Recently, they opened a location in Burnaby, next to the 24-hour Pho Boi restaurant. This chain, which was founded in 2000, already has over 1000 outlets worldwide so they must be doing something right... I wonder if they'll last longer than the last hotpot restaurant in this location? The thing that first caught my attention to this chain was the pictures of a Barbie doll draped in layers of thinly sliced beef (at least from their Robson St. location). Sure, it's a bit of a gimmick... and exactly how clean is that Barbie doll by now? The other thing that I noticed was the pictures of their impressive sauce bar. As with most newly opened hotpot restaurants, the original nice and shiny sauce bar eventually devolves into something which is more functional than pretty. That's not to say that the number of sauces and condiments here is not impressive... it's just been reorganized to be more efficient. Instead of the roughly 27 round containers of sauces and condiments (in addition to fresh fruit), the containers have been switched to mostly rectangular-shaped to fit the counter space. When I arrived here for lunch on a weekday, the place was dead... and I soon found out why. Their menu isn't the most friendly for individual diners or people that are looking for a quick lunch. Unlike nearby Boiling Point which has individual hotpots, Liuyishou hotpots are meant to be shared with a large group of people. The serving sizes here means that prices quickly add up (especially if you want to add a lot of items to your hotpot). I decided to try their Original Spicy Broth ($9.95). You can also pick two different broths and just pay the higher price if you want a bit of variety. I found the medium spicy broth was plenty hot for me. Chongqing hotpots are known for their spicy and numbing qualities and this was definitely numbing. Realizing that the family-size portions here could break my bank, I stuck with just a couple of items... the Spinach ($4.95), Frozen Tofu ($4.95), and the Beef and Lamb Combo ($13.95). Their unlimited sauce bar, by the way, is $2.50 per person. After the first few bites, I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to finish all of this food during my lunch break so I just wound up cooking everything and then packing it to go. All of the items were good and I like the unlimited sauce bar but if you're not used to szechuan hotpots, you might want to stick to some of the milder broths they have available. Also, make sure to come in a group to cut down on the per-person cost because the bill adds up quickly. read more

How could you not happily dine in the presence of a happy cow? On our quest to test out all the different a la carte hotpot joints that have risen in popularity within this year, we decided to pay liuyishou a visit. It would be in your best interest to call in to book a reservation for larger groups as they fill up fast. Sauce bar is around $3 with a great selection and the menu is quite extensive and surprisingly more affordable than most. I recommend adding the sauce bar surcharge in order to also enjoy some cold items (i.e. marinated sliced potatoes, kimchi, peanuts, fruit, etc). My favourite sauce combination = soy sauce + garlic + sesame oil + satay sauce + green onion + cilantro In terms of the soup base, I would recommend the house special beef bone soup and the liu's spicy soup with beef oil (Disclaimer: I eat a lot of spicy food - it is my life. However, if you don't want to choke yourself out and still enjoy your meal I would recommend just level 1 spicy.) What to order: Get the meat ring. Yes, you heard me - the good folks at liuyishou artfully decorate a wooden ring with meat (aka every girls' dream). It comes with a mix of lamb and beef for around $19. I would also recommend the seafood platter. We ordered a small size for $15 for some variety in between meat. Handmade balls were also a great pick - 8 assorted with shrimp, beef, cuttlefish, and fish. The rolled tripe first came out completely strange to look at - completely frozen in a circular form. Once we threw them in the pot, they began to unravel to its normal form (we were at first taken aback by its weird state but were pleasantly relieved post-cooking). Just for fun - we ordered a small vegetable platter, bean curd, quail eggs, and frozen tofu in order to allow us to feel a little bit healthy. Just a little. I'm not a fan of lettuce in hot pot... it was included but we simply left it alone. GET THE FRIED BUNS WITH CONDENSED MILK!!! We were stuffed with a group of 6 - and total worked out to be around $40 per person with tip! I would definitely make my return in the next week or so. read more

Heard about this place and have been wanting to try it out for a while. Finally found time to go with my friend today for dinner. He brought his toddler with him and she is less than 2years old. The service was a bit lacking.. it was quite difficult to flag them down and we were not given tea till almost all the food came and we asked them for it. Oddly enough the tea also had a very strong iron taste very similiar to blood which threw us off. The food came out pretty fast. It tasted ok. They charge extra for sauce. I think closer to $4 per person. Which we were fine with. Its super weird though that they charged my friends baby for the sauce which she didnt even use and lets be real shes basically 1 and a half...?? We didnt notice the charge until after we had paid. Never encountered a situation like this where they actually charged a baby Overall Id prolly take my money elsewhere. read more

Good food. Sauce is not good though. Broth is good. Customer service is good. They need to chill out on workers walking around though to see if their customers are good. I gave this a 1 star because parking sucks. Area sucks. Food is good. Expensive. But workable. read more

The boyfriend and I ordered delivery from here via Fantuan. We got the small spicy dry pot (3 meat and 3 veg) with prawns, beef, lamb, cauliflower, potato, lotus, and tripe as an add on. The spiciest option was great, might be a bit too spicy but we both enjoyed the pain. The portion was also huge, definitely enough for 3-4 people as we were both stuffed and had plenty leftover. Flavours were amazing, and all the ingredients go really well with rice. The only con was the prawns weren't the freshest, and they came whole so it was a bit difficult to eat. We got the order faster than expected, so kudos to both the restaurant and Fantuan for that! read more

The ingredients are fresh, the menu is beautiful, but this place seems overpriced. There's an additional cost on the sauce + salad/fruit as well. I found that the sauces weren't too different from what's offered elsewhere, but there wasn't a whole lot of salads/fruits available. But for $2.50, I guess it's not bad. This hotpot place is not AYCE, so you order from a set menu by checking off the ingredients you want to add. Given each item is a set price, it's hard to try a variety of things without going over budget. We ordered fish tofu, fish, beef tripe, meats, etc. We didn't order much vegetables to not go over budget. The ingredients are obviously fresh, which is why the price is higher, but I don't think the ingredients are so fresh they should cost much more than what I can get elsewhere. For three people, the bill was close to $90 with tax and tips, but I didn't feel full from the meal. I felt like I was still missing something but was unwilling to pay more to get a satiating meal. For similar prices, I can have a very fulfilling AYCE meal with fresh ingredients at Little Sheep hotpot. read more

Came here for a Thanksgiving dinner with my family the other day. Liuyishou Hotpot seems like an extremely popular place, especially later in the evenings and the taste is on the more decent side but wouldn't have be coming back again. Price is a little above average I would say but for the amount you get, it wasn't unreasonable. You can choose 1-3 different soup bases and all the meats and veggies are priced per plate. Beer and other non-alcoholic beverages are available as well. They also have a self serve salad and sauce bar which I believe this is priced per plate. Unfortunately the one thing that did slightly bother me was that all the salad/sauces were labelled in Chinese so I had to guess and hope for the best what was good. I'm no longer able to read it so it would be helpful for all of their customers if the sauces weren't just written on a piece of paper in Chinese taped onto the wall. The service wasn't terrible but employees seemed to always spend as little time interacting as possible. However I did extremely enjoy the deep fried Durian Balls! Otherwise, I did feel that they did have a lot of options but would've liked to see some other options like more types of noodles such as udon. All in all my experience was average. The place was very clean and the food arrived pretty quickly and was plated very well. read more

I came here with some friends as it was close to home for me on a Friday night. I didn't want to go too far out since I had school the next day and there was socializing to be done. We got a 3 person Hot Pot with a mixture of meat and veggies. The veggies were plentiful, however, they were skimpy on the meat with us compared to other hot pot places. We came more in the early evening so we didn't have the bad rushed service that Nathan had thankfully, however, it was still poor service none the less. Firstly they made a big deal that we were a party of 3 instead of even numbers like 2,4 or 6. Something about the cooking ratio? I couldn't understand but didn't feel the hostility of the situation. If it was just myself and another friend we would've left, however, due to the other person we stayed. The veggies were poorly chopped and not meant for hot pot. This made the cooking process longer and uneven. Price was super cheap which is why we came, however, we paid for what we got for. This was a waste of time. read more

There been line ups every night after 6pm for this restaurant so finally last week, i managed to get there early and got a table. I don't know if management changed recently or not but it surely wasn't up to my expectations. The soups (spicy and pork bone) classics were alright, no wow factor at all. The beef was of high quality and all the dishes came in decent size portions. However, there was not a single dish that would have me returning. read more

Just finished lunch with my friend here. There are not many people here at lunch, which is good for us with a little baby who kinda of crying sometimes. The food were dished out with nice decoration. Fresh and good taste. Mushroom soup base was great!! Sauce bar and some little side dishes are all you can take for $2.5 per person. It was the highlight. Love the environment is clean and servers are nice with little baby. Food is good but we order too much. So the bill comes $100 for two. However, quality is good. I would like to recommend someone loves quality over quantity. read more

Saw this place while driving by. Arrived at 2:30 yesterday. They would not seat me as they close at 3:00 pm, only to reopen again at 4:30 pm for dinner. Poor business model. You don't turn away customers unless you have a valid reason to do so. Big turn off. I won't be back. read more

Had a terrible time with this restaurant. My group of three had went in for a late night hot pot, we went in at 10:30. The servers had glared and gasped when we walked in because they had to deal with customers while they were still open! (Shocking right? I wonder who enters your store when you're open!) Anyways, we had gotten seated and had been informed that their sauces are unavailable because they're cleaning the containers. So it's unavailable an HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE CLOSING. We complied, and ordered some food. We had some questions about the wines and had asked the waitress. She was completely clueless, she had no clue of anything on the drink menu. We decided just ordering any wine as the waitress was useless for information Wine was gross, we got our hotpot and began cooking. By around 11:30 we were forced to pay because the workers wanted to leave early and do their cash. We had to pay before finishing our food or even getting to cook all of it. This is the worst part of our experience, because 10 minutes after we had paid we found HAIR IN OUR MEAT. and it wasn't any of ours, it was the kitchen's. Disgusted we had called the waitress over again and confronted her on our furry findings. She grabs it, leaves to tell her manager. She comes back with vouchers. TWO VOUCHERS FOR $10 EACH. So apparently the best solution for then is to give us a total of $20 vouchers, which don't even stack when used. So they'd expect us to come back? Why would we come back to service like this? We spent $130 on food, and we got two $10 VOUCHERS THAT EXPIRE back. We wanted a refund and they denied. Terrible service, hairy food and rude staff. Never coming back. read more

Too bad YELP doesn't have NO STAR rating, they don't deserve one star. The reservation system DOES NOT make sense. The wait is about 30 mins WITH RESERVATION (or longer depending when they have a table). And no, they don't arrange tables according to reservations they give tables to whoever walks in. I don't see the point of booking ahead or even go in this place. The messed up restaurant doesn't deserve any business. My first time visiting this place will be my last. read more
