    Green onion in my dessert
    Amaya S.

    This used to be my absolute favorite spot and I have been going here for 4+ years. Service and sauce bar was pretty good but my most recent time here, the meat and veggies tasted very old. The rice cakes I got were also split which means they have been frozen for quite a while. The meat was also gamier than usual and made me want to gag. I wasn't going to complain but then I found a green onion in my dessert. DONT COME HERE bronze empire hot pot is way better and worth the extra 3$.

    Came here for dinner. There was plenty of parking. We were seated right away. I ordered the original broth and it was pretty good. The restaurant had a sauce bar that you can make and take to your table. Sauce bar needed a little tidying up. It, also, has fruits. On the left of the sauce bar were small plates and bowls to put your fruits and sauce in. Just a warning, the forks and spoons were dirty. Overall, food was as pretty good and veggies were fresh.

    Dark chicken broth, beef brisket, fatty beef.

    Servers are very helpful and kind. The sauce bar is great. It's very customizable. Food was all very fresh. Definitely would recommend

    This will definitely be my go-to hot pot restaurant in aurora. The prices are the cheapest I could find in town and the establishment is massive with tons of staff and tables to fit hundreds of customers. They give their meats out in large portions so I would recommend ordering just one of each plate just in case you can't finish them. The servers and staff were really friendly and quick to bring us our food and hot prepared items. Come here for lunch or come here for dinner and you will not be disappointed!

    Old Town Hot Pot is an affordable and nice place for AYCE hot pot! It's a favorite of many of my friends and I can see why. We stopped in for dinner on a Monday and got a table. They have a vast selection of broths and decent meats. I do wish there could be more options of veggies and other things. They recommend only a couple plates to start at first unless you know you're gonna finish it all, as they charge for leftovers. I got the spicy broth and wish it was a bit spicier. It was good. They had a good sauce bar but were out of soy sauce. The dessert is so so good. It's not too sweet and perfectly refreshing. It's a solid single serve hot pot place. And it cost about $30 a head.

    Good portion

    Food: Variety of meat & seafood, veggies to choose from. I like lamb, mud crab, shrimp with head, octopus. Fresh with big portion. Service: Fast service after you ordered. Quick refill on water & soup based. Ambiance: Traditional Chinese decors, clean environment, spacious with some private banquet room. Overall: Best value for your $ for unlimited eating hotpot in Aurora. Must try :)

    It must be a while since dining at Old Town Hot Pot last time. Found quite a lot of exciting upgrades. Besides having the add-on AYCE skewers for $3.99, they also got a new condiment station, more organized and with more choices, including appetizers and fruits. Seemed like the turnover was high as there were not as many staffs and most were new faces. The service was prompt and attentive as usual though.

    Wide variety of protein and vegetables to choose from!

    I'm usually a sucker for hot pot and Old Town Hot Pot was one of those comforting places in town that hit the spot. You know, those places where you can unwind, wear your stretchy pants, and unbutton your button up kinda place. It's A LOT of food. I highly recommend the tomato soup base if you're unsure on what soup to choose. The tomato soup base has a very good flavor to begin with but can easily be modified to your liking with all the additional toppings and sauces. I do love that the smaller toppings or garnishes (green onions, garlic, lemons, etc.), sauces, and rice are self serve at a little bar station towards the back of the restaurant. Loved that the menu also displayed pictures of the proteins, veggies, and toppings that they offer for your soup just so you know what to expect which is always nice. Service was good. The server was always checking in on our table and kept our water cups filled. Lastly, the server brought our table a small surprise dessert on the house which was awesome and even though I struggled to keep up and go for more rounds of food, you know there's always room for a sweet treat!

    Lots of root vegetables!

    Great hot pot spot in Denver that I will be back again when I'm in town! We went back in April this year and it was snowing the day we went to Old Town. Perfect weather for hotpot. Service: can't remember the servers name now But he was great. He was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance: minimal decor with the large dining room. It's casual and family friendly. Food: the pot is kinda mini but quite cute for an individual pot. I love that they offer dark chicken herbal broth. I also love the seafood options here that the clams are huge and delicious. Lots of options for vegetables as well. I love that they offer many items on the menu that you don't see in other hot pot place. However, their beef quality is mediocre but justifiable for the price. Overall. It's a great hot pot place for seafood and veggie options. We will return on our next trip!

    The food here is delicious!! The broth is perfect every time you cook all your raw food in the soup over the burner the pot sits on. There is a variety of meats, beef, seafood pork, veggies all you can eat. The service is great our waiter was great we ordered right away since we knew what we wanted. Great atmosphere plenty of seating and over great place to dinner lunch/ dinner and chit chat with family and friends.

    Came here with some friends and I think the pork broth here is the best pork broth I've ever had! So hearty and flavorful. I also liked the spicy broth as well! Our waiter was really attentive and food came out fast and in big portions. Everything was fresh and delicious. Price is fair. Wish they had a cheaper lunch price on weekdays but it's all just one price

    Dandan M.

    We went out for a family dinner and had a really great time. To be honest the spicy broth was not super flavored, but also I'm used having more spicy and slightly more salty broth. So that could be a personal preference. Overall, we definitely ate our money's worth and the environment was very family friendly. Very relaxed and very causal. And they weren't pushy about anything. Nguyet was our server (hopefully spelled that right). And she was SO SWEET, so professional, and just overall such a great server. Was there at all the right times and very efficient. Would go back just for the service. Overall, had a great time!

    Enjoyed a great meal here at Old Town Hot Pot on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm. There was no wait and plenty of open tables. All of the staff members wore masks, which was nice to see from a health and cleanliness standpoint seeing as they do handle the raw food items being brought to the table. They were attentive, quick and friendly! One thing to note is that if you are seated at a booth, the benches are very hard and uncomfortable after being there for the duration of your meal unlike the cushioned chairs at the standalone tables. My husband and I made the mistake of plopping down into the booth too hard right off the bat and we both went ow! Besides that, this restaurant was delicious and had a nice variety of quality proteins, fresh veggies and carb options to choose from. The individual soup pots are fun and make the experience that much better to be able to try different soup offerings with whoever you're with and you can also control the heat for cooking your own items. The only protein I would say wasn't worth the time or effort was the whole blue crab. It had very minimal meat and was hard to eat as they split it down the middle and don't provide you anything to help crack open the claws. The sauce bar is also a fantastic touch to the place with a wide variety of flavorful options to build your own dipping sauces. I recommend mixing together sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar, a touch of sesame oil, ginger and cilantro! Don't forget to put on gloves as well to prevent contamination and germs from others touching the spoons. All in all a meal that is worth the price, delicious and the included dessert at the end of our meal had us saying we're so full and can't wait to come back!

    I am confused is it all you can eat or do you only get two plates of meat and what about the veggies and other stuff?

    We are AYCE, but we do recommend customers start off with two plates of meat at a time because we do charge for any excessive waste of food. The two plates rule really only applies for the meat so you can order as much as you want for the veggies…

This is definetely on the expensive side of things especially if youre going for dinner and even more if you do both bbq and hotpot, but we understand how expensive everything is going so we only go occasionally. But other than that they have great flavors for broth hotpot options, our go to is MISO BROTH: Light and slightly sweet japanese miso broth great for pairing veggies! CAJUN BROTH: A little bit newer, great cajun flavor and compliments seafood dishes The meats are also decent and they look really fresh and cut perfectly, we never had problems with their meats, LA GALBI is marinated to perfection and they always give us generous chunks of the pieces BEEF TOUNGE , meat always looks fresh and extremely delicious. SPAM cut for hotpots, they have the best cuts than other hotpot places, gives us fresh and generous cut of spam! Bathrooms are mostly clean all the time and plenty of seating, we never had to wait more than five minutes even when it is FULL HOUSE. Service is good and staff are friendly, when it gets busy its hard to flag someone down, but obviously understandable! Although I think its worth it if you just go here for both hotpot and bbq, on the pricier side of things, KPOT is a decent spot for some high quality meats and fresh ingredients!

Unfortunately, the experience was mixed--and ultimately disappointing. Before the meal, I stopped by the restroom to wash my hands. Both soap dispensers were empty or not working. I notified the bathroom attendant, assuming it would be quickly addressed. At the time, I brushed it off as a minor oversight. One of the highlights of Korean BBQ is always the variety of vegetable side dishes, and this visit did not disappoint in that regard. The assortment of banchan was plentiful--definitely the best part of the meal and something I always look forward to. However, the main dish fell short. I ordered the Kalbi Tang, which was quite disappointing. The beef ribs were clearly undercooked; the meat was tough, bristly, and difficult to chew. Instead of the tender, slow-cooked texture you expect from this dish. After the meal, I returned to the restroom--and to my surprise, the soap dispensers were still not working. This was no longer a small issue. It raised a serious concern: if customers didn't have access to soap, it's very possible that employees didn't either. The thought that staff might be handling food without properly washing their hands is unsettling and frankly unacceptable. I once heard a food inspector say that if you want to judge a restaurant, check the bathroom first. If they don't care about maintaining a basic level of cleanliness, it often reflects what's happening behind the scenes. Unfortunately, this experience reinforced that idea. While the side dishes were enjoyable, the combination of poor entree quality and concerning hygiene issues makes it hard to recommend returning anytime soon.

That's a pretty strong endorsement. Also the interior of the restaurant was fairly modern and clean. For anyone unfamiliar with it, soondae (순대) is a traditional Korean blood sausage made by stuffing pork or beef intestines with a mixture of blood, glass noodles, rice or starch, and seasonings. It's one of Korea's most popular street foods and is typically enjoyed with salt or a dipping sauce. One thing to know before you go: this restaurant specializes in soup-based dishes. Every entrée revolves around soup, including the bulgogi. I had never seen bulgogi served in a broth before, so it was a pleasant surprise for both my boyfriend and me. Most of the soups also included clear glass noodles and came in a wide variety of combinations, so there were plenty of options to choose from. One detail I really appreciated was their takeout packaging. If you have leftovers, they use a professional heat-sealing machine that applies a thin plastic seal over the container before the lid goes on. It's a thoughtful touch that keeps the soup leak-proof and makes transporting leftovers much easier. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food--especially soondae soup--this place is definitely worth a visit.

The selection of veggies, meats, etc were standard and similar to other hot pot places. The broth selection was good and I was satisfied with the one I chose (the Thai one). One thing I was not the biggest fan of is that the workers were very aggressively cleaning around us including sweeping dust and trash while we were eating with 45 minutes still left until close. I understand cleaning up for the day but there was definitely dust that got swept into our food. I don't think they did it intentionally but that is something to be considered going forward.
