    The selection wasn't bad, has a variety of food for hotpot, the lunch is better price. The original soup base was great. The selection of sauce was okay, not many good ones. It's a more simple hotpot place. I there weren't any side dishes or buffet side that you could eat.

    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

    Green onion in my dessert

    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.

    Check in booth

    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

    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!

    Do you serve beer and wine yet? If not, can you bring your own bottle of wine?

    Do they have alcohol?

    THERE'S ALCOHOL NOW!

    When will they have the crab and oyster with AYCE?

    We have the blue crabs regularly (depending on how the weather is on the coast. There are some tropical storms that impact our supply.) and we’re trying to find a new supplier for oyster as ours are imported from Australia. They have recently been… 

    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 place may have good selections for meat but in all honesty the authenticity of what korean bbq tastes and feels like has been stripped away. The flavor is not all there even when I try to use their side dishes like the kimchi and cucumber kimchi. CUCUMBER KIMCHI: This feels like a story excuse for cucumber kimchi. The sauce is just absolutely slobered and over takes any part of the cucumber. It's like a thick sludge rather than tasteful cucumber kimchi. Would you like some cucumber with your thick kimchi sludge? KIMCHI: They don't even have this out at the sides area, you have to ask for this. The problem with this is that the MOST Korean side dish is not readily available at the side dish pick up area. The other main problem is that it tastes sweet? There's is no acidic flavor to the kimchi, it's just all wrong and horrible. THE MEAT: Okay the meat selection is good but unfortunately the thicker sangyupsal is a little too thin. I think there's already a thin sangyupsal option on the menu so I'm not sure why we're getting another thin option. Gotta say though, this is the only place that has the intercostal rib meat which is baller. Overall this place is just not giving authentic. This might do if you're not familiar with traditional Korean bbq and have no expectations or a bar for Korean food, but from someone who grew up like that, this is just lack luster and overall a slap in the face. Im sorry guys but the only reason why this gets a 2 star and not 1 is because the meat selection is good, but Korean bbq is more than just meat, its an experience of diverse flavors where this place just doesn't do that.

Ive picked up some dishes were vietnamese too, like they had Bo Ne, but we didnt end up ordering it, we definetely will have to next time!! Place wasnt too busy and we were greated right away and seated. Everything was clean and organized, we were given I believed iced jasmine or black tea instead of water which was new but in a good way! It was a delicious drink! Will take a picture of the mnu next time, but everything is explained well and the me u is easy to read as well. You can easily chiose your soice level as well as any allergies you might have. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and made sure to ask us how we prefered everything and made good recommendations.Service was quick and friendly and we were checked in regularly! We ordered: "Popcorn Chicken" 3/5 NOT a huge fan of popcorn chicken at all as I always find it dry and wasnt my choice of order but I was suprised! Its a lot more moist and fresh than I thought and the sauce that came with it really complimented the dish! HUGE PORTION TOO!!! Will definetely order next time as well! "Lemongrass Beef Sizzling Ribs" 5/5 This was my most favorite dish, it came in pipping hot and sizzling on a hot skillet! Our server did table service and mixed it for us nicely to enjoy, kind if reminds me of Gyukakus beef rib rice dish as well! The meat is nice and tender, marinated and grilled to perfection. The fried rice mixed with the cheese and onions were perfect combinated with the meat. Its insanely delicious and if you havent ordered it, youre respectfully insane. "Tonkatsu" 4.5/5 There are so many options to their hotpots but we decided to stay basic, we will definetely try the other broths next time! The broth was insanely delicious! Each hotpots come with plenty proteins/veggies. Ours came with lettuce, different tofus, sliced beef, ?fish cake?, immation crab, clams, and more. We have also ordered Taro Milk Tea and Strawberry Creme at the end which tasted so fresh and delicious. It definetely wasnt too sweet, it was just perfect. Im glad we saved room for the drinks hehe. Price was fair for all the food we ordered, everything had good portions and we could even share one main dish perfectly. Tasty Pot offers hearth, fresh, and insanely delicious food with great service! Do not be alarmed if you are not too familiar with cuisine as the staff will help you out and make good recommendations! Will definetely be coming back regularly!

    This is only the second soondae restaurant I've visited in the U.S., but my Korean…read moresister-in-law--who lived in Korea for more than 25 years and has eaten at many soondae restaurants--was genuinely impressed. 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.
