    Coconut chicken soup base and white pepper pork broth
    Michelle T.

    This is now my favorite Chinese hot pot lunch special place. For just under $30, it includes a soup base and a limited selection of food. The fatty beef is still good quality. There's still a selection of hot appetizer and dessert soup. Good thing is that it comes with soup and you can always add a third broth for $2.99. The golden chicken broth has always been my favorite and must gets. Overall a great lunch spot for a weekday.

    With so many hot pot locations in Flushing, this AYCE location is still one of my favorites that I have been to. It looked like this place only does 1 large pot per table compared to individual pots. You can split the broth up to 3 types. We got the 2-broth split pot with "Liu House Special Soup Base" and "Tomato Soup Base", both were above my expectation in flavor. They have a sauce station that you make yourself and prepped food that is ready to eat such as edamame and seaweed salad. Also, a drink station with water, orange juice, passion fruit juice and iced tea. Everything is ordered on the tablet that is at the table and the staff there are very observing since every time we have an empty plate/dish they would come back and remove it from our table. It came out to $53 per person with tax and tip for an AYCE location that serves higher than average ingredients. Overall I would come back again since I enjoyed it a lot and it is well maintained.

    Tom Yum Soup/Spucy Lamb Spine base
    Anna L.

    4.5 stars Nice all you can eat hotpot place with decent prices and good options. It's about $35 per person on the weekend plus the soup base price (about $16). It includes a small appetizers bar, sauce bar, some fruits, and free drinks (iced tea and juices). The passion fruit juice was really good. We had the split pot with tom yum soup and spicy lamb spine. Both are a bit spicy. The tom yum is sour. I prefer the lamb spine. They have a variety of options from meats to seafood to veggies and noodles. There are some that are a la carte. Ordering was easy since it was from a tablet and they were pretty quick.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 8 This AYCE hot pot franchise has been consistently good over the years. I have been here many times and generally happy with the food and service. Obviously, the quality may not match Haidilao or Chongqing Lao Zhao, but the price is nearly half for as much as you can eat. If your preference is not fresh seafood or high end quality meats, then you really can't go wrong with this veteran hot pot restaurant. You see many hot pot restaurants in Flushing come and go, but this place still stays busy on most nights. As for hot pot broths, I have tried nearly everything. My favorites include their signature spicy, the golden chicken w/ fish maw, the sour duck & radish, and the peppery chicken w/ pig stomach soup bases. Spicy lamb spine and mushroom broths are good too. For must order items, get the lamb slices, six second tofu rolls, napa cabbage, bok choy, shrimp paste, basa fish slices, tofu skin sheets, shiitake mushrooms, quail eggs, and SPAM (yeah, trust me). Btw, don't fill up on appetizers, but their marinated pig ears are surprisingly good. Then, after your hot pot meal, come back to the same counter and get some fruits and desserts, or ask the waiter for some Hersey's ice cream cup. Honestly, it's not the best hot pot in Flushing, but for less than $50 after taxes and tip, this is quite a good deal.

    Delicious Hot Pot restaurant in Flushing! They have an assortment of appetizers including some cold dishes, warm apps and drinks. We got the 3 soup base combination with Golden Chicken, Tomato and Pork Bone. My favorite was the Golden Chicken base which was nice and thick and perfectly flavored. I haven't tried anything like it before. I didn't even have to use my wife's tasty blend of dipping sauces. Just keep in mind that the AYCE price does not include the soup base, which can range from $12-18. The variety of meats, seafood, mushrooms, veggies, tofus and noodles, etc were great as well. The meat was nice and fresh, and my favorite was the beef and lamb slices. They also have ice cream which is great to finish the meal. The only downside is that the service is quite lackluster. The main waiter was crabby and not very nice, but the other waiter helping him out was better. Price is a bit expensive, but you get a lot for your money. Parking is available across the street in a lot, but it is costly.

    Expeditious delivery once items were ordered to the table. The seafood and beef selections were good, with the shrimp, mussels, and crabs being sizable. The pig brain was unusual but not terrible. The pre-cooked items were tasty, including the pig ear, but perhaps could've offered more variety of items.

    My new fav hot pot in town. I love how they have my fav AYCE side dishes (crawfishes and brown sugar jelly).

    The best Chinese MaLa buffet in Queens! I've been here multiple times over the years, and every time I'm in NYC, I make sure to stop by. Every item is unique and packed with flavor! The last time I went during happy hour, it was only $30 per person--and that included not just meat and hot pot ingredients, but also appetizers and ice cream! I'm obsessed with the sesame balls they were amazing! And the Sichuan MaLa soup is a definite must-try. Highly recommend this spot!

    Boyfriend and I decided to try a new hotpot place so we came here to give it a try. We went on a Saturday night around 8:30. We waited for around 10min and got seated. This place is AYCE but the price didn't include the broth. We ordered the spicy beef tallow and Tom yum broth. The Tom yum broth was really good and it almost tasted like it was from a Thai restaurant! I normally don't drink broth from hotpot places from I couldn't help and drank some of it. There were a lot of varieties for meat and veggies and they were all fresh. They had some premium items such as beef tongue and shrimp paste but they were only okay. The beef tongue's texture and color were a bit odd. It was brown and looked like it was cooked. I cooked it in the broth regardless since I wasn't sure and the texture tasted like it was braised. The shrimp paste also didn't have that nice chew to it. Overall experience was decent. Service was fast but I feel like the servers had trouble understanding us sometimes. AYCE was $32 per person and broth was another $18, which is not too bad for AYCE. The portion that they gave was slightly too big in my opinion for all you can eat. We only ordered one round and that was more than enough food. I wish they would make it a little smaller so we could still try different things with only two people.

    Andrew T.

    The depth and breadth of the menu is wide. Just for tripe selections alone, the menu offers five potential options to choose from. Meat options are galore. The original spicy soup base with premium beef oil is a fiery concoction infused with Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilis, and a symphony of secret spices. This broth is not for the faint of heart with casual spice sensitivities. Spicy, but still flavorful and deep. The meal is an exercise in creativity and exploration. The AYCE price point is great, given the quality and array of food available. The dessert array, including fruit jelly and ice creams, are a welcomed accompaniment to the spicy main event. My only complaint is the area is notoriously difficult for parking.

    Shengyu G.

    Be minded they charge extra for the broth per table (around $20 and up depends on the broth you choose). The AYCE price in holiday and weekend is $31.99 per person plus the broth price. The place is clean and classy. Everything is ordered on a pad. There are a lots of varieties included in AYCE and some items labeled with extra price. The food came fresh pretty accurate (some hot pot place usually skip some items). I highly recommend the golden chicken broth. It tastes so delicious. I can eat the food boiled in the broth without dipping in any other sauces. They also offer some appetizers like fries, spring rolls, fried shrimps etc. and cold dishes like chicken with chili sauce, crawfish etc. Also, feel free to get water, ice tea, plum drink, some fruits. The waiters and waitress are pretty nice. They pick up empty and dirty plates pretty quick.

    Good food

    Came here with two friends for an early dinner (4pm) on a Tuesday. We accidentally made a…read morereservation on Resy for the following day thinking it was for the day we went, and the hostess helped us get sorted. We were seated promptly, since there was no one else waiting to be seated, and the wait staff was quick to arrive and get our items into the sacks (to keep our stuff from smelling like hot pot all day), and helped us place our order. We got two broths-- mushroom and spicy (mild heat). Y'all, the mild was too hot for us and we were scooping out the peppers out of the broth to make it manageable. The wait staff noticed we were suffering and said the trick to eating spicy hot pot is to dip it in oil, and even brought us some. IT WORKS. Anyway, 10/10. Great tasting food, helpful and caring staff, and overall, a very fun decor/vibe.

    Chong Qing Lao Zao is a never-to-be-forgotten absolutely amazing hot pot restaurant…read more I will offer my own extensive comments at the end ... But the Eater review of Chong Qing Lao Zao absolutely nails it. * * * Eater sez: Fans start lining up well before the wooden doors swing open at noon, eventually to walk through corridors that lead them to a bi-level dining area that evokes an old Chinese village, complete with a water wheel, koi, and a faux fire at the foot of each table. One private section is elevated on stilts. Chongqing Lao Zao stands out from the high concentration of nearby hot pot spots -- Hai Di Lao, Liuyishou, 99 Favor Taste. * * * Samuel C sez: a) Like many hot pot restaurants, there are lots of exotic ingredients including all parts of many animals. I did lots of those included thousand layer tripe and beef liver coated in egg. At this restaurant, simple is actually better than exotic. The most famous boiling oil (there are nine to choose from) is a scorchingly hot Chongqing drowning in hot peppers concoction. The oil is hot as blazes in both senses of the word. The simpler the ingredient we put in the oil, the better the results were. Plain old Chinese Cabbage was to die for. Plain old ramen noodles and plain old fish cake became superstars in the hot oil. Thousand layer tripe, not so much. b) Shiitakes are not such a plain ingredient. They become ultimate gourmet delights in the hot oil. c) All the tables around us were ordering some form of Wagyu beef roll. Or rather all the Chinese tables were ordering Wagyu beef rolls. The Anglos were more random. I suspect the Chinese customers were on to something. d) It is tempting to order tons and tons and tons of ingredients for your hotpot because they look so damm good. In practice, three hot pot dipping items per person plus a side dish for the table will leave you waddling out of the restaurant barely able to walk. If that means you just have to come here multiple times to get all the good stuff, Well ... multiple times is not such a dumb idea. e) You definitely want at least one side dish. We ordered a Fried Sesame Bread with Chinese green onions inside. That was the best thing on the table ... On a day when there were a zillion amazing things on the table. The Chinese tables often ordered a fried rice with spicy organs inside. I strongly suspect that fried rice is well worth doing as well. f) They make their own rice wine which is sweet and very milky. They sell it by the jar. You want a whole jar of it. If your table has sake lovers in multiple, you will want several jars of it. g) The room decoration is magical between the sturdy oaken village-gate door, to the waterwheel inside to the stairs and levels and platforms which make you feel like you are in a mountain village. The room would have made this a destination experience even if the food had been mediocre. That the raw ingredients, the prepared dishes, the wine and the boiling oil were amazing sends Chong Qing Lao Zao over the top. * * * Does Yelp offer an eight star rating? If it starts one, Chong Qing Lao Zao would be first in line to get the eight star rating. Even with all the amazing restaurants in Flushing's Chinatown, This is one experience you do not want to miss.

It's very spicy with the signature Sichuan peppercorn, so if you're not into numb spicy, considered yourselves warned. We specifically loved the pig trotters. I've never had them like that before anywhere, so it's definitely a chefs special. They were made crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. Highly recommend. All the other dishes were also fantastic. Portions are also great, we ended up taking lots home. They gave us free dessert jellies which is also a classic Sichuan dessert; they also had a deal where you get free drinks if you order a certain amount of food, so we got two free drinks. I would have given a five star if not for the super long wait. Granted we did go for Christmas Day dinner. We saw them having to turn away lots of customers. They are super popular. Main issue is there isn't a number system, so getting a table felt a bit random; we considered ourselves lucky. Our servers were very friendly and nice. They told us it would be a bit of a wait, but this was the longest I've ever waited for food: 45 min before the first dish was served. We ordered 5 dishes with rice (forgot to take pictures of two of them). I wasn't told one of the dishes I ordered wasn't available until 30 min after I placed my order. But when the food did come, they all can't together so we didn't have to keep waiting. The servers were also attentive after despite how busy and clearly overwhelmed they were, which was really nice. In conclusion, great food with good portions for spice lovers. Very nice servers and try not to go on Christmas Day since it can get really busy.

We also feasted on the Sautéed Shredded Beef with Spicy Pepper, Cumin Lamb, Sliced Potatoes with Truffles and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pickled salad certainly tickled my fancy. TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control. Thank you Andie for putting this all together, and the birthday cake that Mike bought for you was a decadent surprise because it was so chocolatey and moist.
