    We had such a great experience! Loved everything about this restaurant. Really high quality hotpot with the best ingredients and nice presentation! Loved the broth options as well. Service was also amazing!

    Came here for lunch with a coworker last week. When we came the place was empty coz they just opened. The waiter was very nice as he explained everything to us. He even recommended a special sauce that they made. The best was fresh. The place is great and spacious.

    Three-flavored broth

    Came here with friends on a Friday night. The restaurant is mid-sized with a tasteful decor, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. For the broth, we tried three flavors (pork bone, tomato, and spicy). The menu offers a good variety of ingredients. We enjoyed the beef, duck blood, shrimp paste, celtuce, and their jasmine soy milk tea. Everything was fresh, though portions felt a bit on the smaller side. Unfortunately, they were out of the desserts we wanted to try. The bill came to nearly $100 per person (after tax) for four of us, which is on the pricier side, but overall it was still an enjoyable experience.

    Sis and I came during their soft opening. We yin-yanged a pot of Pork Bone Broth and Mala. Both were tasty. Like most recent upscale hot pot spots, the ingredients were all fresh, conveniently cut and well-prepared. However, I'm annoyed that they didn't have very good greens to choose from. How can a Chinese hot pot restaurant not offer napa cabbage, bok choy, yu choy, or any of the other classic dark leafy greens? We only got napa cababge through their seasonal veg plate, but that came with a bunch of items I didn't want. And the only green they really offered was lettuce, which I find disgusting when cooked--it always impacts the flavor of everything else. Their meat and seafood offerings were more robust. And I did appreciate the complimentary plate of American Wagyu they gifted us. However, I didn't love that they charge $3.99pp for the sauce bar (which also includes some small app/dessert choices). I don't know if it's these inflationary times, but more and more hot pot restaurants are charging for their sauce bars (looking at you, Shoo Loong Kan), and I'm not here for that. Service was very nice and friendly, as you would expect for a newcomer. The decor is Classical Chinese loveliness and should evoke vibes of being a hot pot-dipping Chinese empress.

    Tomato and spicy broth both good

    Authentic Sichuan hot pot place, still in soft opening. I liked that 1) their ventilation is really good I didn't have to walk home smelling like a walking hotpot, 2) service was really good / place was clean, 3) some of their items were hard to find / higher quality than other hotpot places 4) their low spicy level beef tallow broth is actually low spicy! It's actually hard to find this - speaking as someone who has a low spicy tolerance. In term of the items - I liked their eel, beef aorta (really crunchy not too tough), chrysanthemum (茼蒿, was really fresh and tender unlike most places). I would pass on the fish or pork, both unmemorable. Also liked that their plum juice was not that sweet. Overall a good experience.

    Hot pot is my favorite food in the whole world. I am so glad we found this place. Was with a work friend and we met up with a friend of mine who lives in the area. Her first hot pot experience. We got the traditional spicy broth and the blackened chicken herbal broths. We got the fresh cut beef, tofu skin, and mixed veggies. Just perfection. Perfection. It's been over a month and there are tears in my eyes remembering the deliciousness. Good service. Clean and cozy. I want to come here every day.

    Glad to see hotpot in ktown! Solid spot but there were fruit flies flying around that kinda ruined the experience. Hope they can do something about that!

    I stumbled upon this new hot pot place on google maps, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience! Beautiful interior, kind staff, and just a great ambiance. We ordered 3 different types of soup base: tomato, pork bone, and mala. They were all delicious, but my favorite is always tomato! They offer a wide selection of meats, veggies, seafood and sauces. I also love that they take reservations! Price is decent especially in Manhattan. Mt. ShooTao is a great addition to the neighborhood.

    I recently had an excellent dining experience at Mt. ShooTao Hot Pot with two close friends. One of them recommended the restaurant after seeing it highly praised on Chinese social media (WeChat), so I made a reservation for August 19, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. We arrived at 5:50 p.m. and were warmly greeted by waiters Ruben and Jacky. Even though the restaurant wasn't very busy, they thoughtfully offered us a larger table near the back, giving us extra privacy--an especially considerate gesture for a small group of three. Jacky recommended the Triple Flavored Pot, which was perfect since each of us could enjoy our preferred broth without compromise. He was also incredibly friendly and surprised us with complimentary treats: a large bottle of Iced Osmanthus Soy Milk and Seaweed & Pork Floss Fried Dough. Both were delicious and very much appreciated. We also enjoyed complimentary appetizers of kelp and edamame. Many restaurants charge for these small dishes, so it was a pleasant surprise. The edamame, in particular, stood out as a plant-based protein option that vegan diners would appreciate. As a vegan, I was especially impressed by the service from waitress Amy. She helped me order two portions of the ShooTao Seasonal Veggie & Mushroom Mountain, which were flavorful and satisfying. My friends, who are meat eaters, loved their dishes as well--especially the Premium Fresh-Cut American Wagyu Chuck. We ended up finishing everything because the food was so outstanding. Overall, both the food and the service exceeded expectations. Whether you're a meat lover or a vegan, you'll find plenty of delicious options here. The convenient Midtown Manhattan location--close to the subway and PATH train--makes it a great choice for both locals and visitors coming in from New Jersey.

    Food, ambience, and service are all excellent! It's not that easy to find a restaurant in New York with this kind of interior design and food quality.

    I loved this place!…read more I came here on a late Friday night, probably around 8pm and was glad that they were still opened. We were greeted very welcomely and was seated right away. It was unusually cold in NY during this time (5/23/25) and initially we were seated by the door where we would catch the cold draft every time the door opened. We asked if we can switch seats and the waiter was more than helpful. I feel bad for not getting his name, because he was very helpful throughout the entire dinner service, but, I've been walking around in the cold all day and the only thing that was on my mind at that time, was a nice warm meal. I've done a lot of Chinese hotpots and this was the first that we get the soup and grill without a price difference. The selections were typical, some may say less than other places, but, I felt that less was better. When there is too much to chose from, you don't know what to pick or pick too much. The one thing that I did missed was fresh tofu. They had a variety of tofu but not fresh tofu. But, I probably shouldn't waste my stomach space on tofu for and AYCE, anyway, lol! We opt for an non-spicy and a spicy soup base. If you are like me and do not like mala (numbing spice), I would not recommend getting a spicy soup base. Even my cousin, that does like mala, said it was a little overbearing after a while. If you do love spicy, like me, they have a condiment station to make your own sauce and have several chili options to chose from that is not numbing spice. For the price and selections, I feel that it was very satisfying. I really enjoyed their homemade peach and kumquat lemon tea; but, order fast because once it's gone, you are out of luck! The place was clean and the noise level was average. I think this is the best Chinese hotpot place that I have experienced in USA and would definitely go back!

I've ordered the pork belly and chicken wasabi yakitori. The pork belly is cooked perfectly and has great flavor definitely a must try. I also loved the soju drinks! We tried pineapple and passion fruit, and they also offer plum and other flavors to choose from. The sushi is always tasty, and this time we tried their teriyaki plate. Both the chicken and steak (medium) were really good. The prices are reasonable and affordable, which is another reason we keep coming back. This spot is a must.

Decided to check it out when my friend recommended it yesterday. We had a group of 6 and walked in without a reservation around 6pm on Saturday and they were able to seat us pretty quickly by adding a couple chairs to a table, and we got our seats instead of having to wait 15 to 20 minutes for a larger table. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Staff is really friendly. We got the cotton candy sukiyaki pot, which was awesome. You can see the cotton candy melting on top of the hot pot. They also cook for you so that's great too! We also got a spicy sushi roll combo and that was pretty good as well. And a combo B of the skewers with pork belly, beef, hotdogs, and quail egg wrapped in bacon, shishito peppers and everything tasted good. They also all came in sets of 2 so it was super easy to share with the group. They have amazing happy hour deals, everyday before 7pm, we got a pitcher for $14, enough for everyone to get a cup of beer at the table. This is also at a super convenient location. I'll definitely be back again and bringing more friends next time :)

They also had some peanut, and pickled cabbage snacks, and oranges. We opted for the Mushroom and Beef Tallow Spicy Broths. The Mushroom was herbal-y. The Beef Tallow Spicy had a pretty good kick, so we didn't feel like we needed to go spicier. You can also skim off some of the spicy oil if need be. You do get hit in the face with the spice broth steam, so don't get too close to the broth. It's a good thing the chopsticks are long! They do come by to fill the broths. We ordered off the tablet and most dishes came out pretty quick. The portions are on the smaller, which is good for AYCE. Everything cooks pretty quick too! Everything tasted fresh and of good quality. They have a large variety of meats, seafood, mushrooms, vegetables and everything in between! The Dan Dan Noodles were a big portion and on the blander side. I would skip this. The Herbal Jelly was refreshing, though we had to ask for them to bring it out. Overall, a good spot for a small group for AYCE.
