    I've visited Orion twice now, and it's become my go-to hot pot place in Colorado! It's reasonably priced for AYCE, they have a sizable parking lot, and the wait staff is nice - among the many things I enjoy. Their biggest table can seat 6 people, but 4 people is optimal. I haven't had trouble walking in, especially on weekdays. They don't seem to take reservations anyways. The food is so fresh and high quality. Plenty of beverage options. I usually get the spicy broth, and you can order 2 meats per person at a time, like brisket and tripe. Many other seafoods, vegetables, and noodles to add to your tray. My favorites are fish balls and tofu cubes. Can't wait to come back, especially on chilly days. Oh, and don't forget the individual ice creams for dessert!

    All our food!  The brisket, chicken and lamb meat options The passion green tea drink

    It's SOOO GOOOD!!! I got tom yum, my partner and friend got golden chicken and it's creamy! The options are really nice and the personal lil hot pot is perfect!!! It's my first time here in Colorado visiting my friends. It was nice to have some really yummy fulfilling food! The server was very informative with the process and how to start your hotpot. It was a very clean simple aesthetic in the restaurant and it was so open.

    I really wanted to like this new hot pot restaurant because it looks great and it's always awesome to see new Asian local businesses open up shop, but everything from quality of broth to how they served the veggies/meat and service was disappointing. The only reason the rating is a 3 and not a 2 is because the ambiance was fun, veggies were fresh, veggies were stocked most of the time, and they offered sides like (cooked) dumplings and ice cream for dessert. Setup of how to order: All veggies, noodles, and most seafood are self serve. Great in theory - you don't have to wait on your server and you can grab exactly how much you want. These veggie/noodle shelves are completely open though, so we saw multiple people cough (accidentally, but still) towards the food. You order the meat from the server and they bring that out to you. I got the beef brisket for 2 rounds and each time the beef was sliced so thin, after cooking, all the beef could fit on my 1 spoon. Broth: The spicy broth just tasted like spicy water. It was missing some serious depth. Service: The service was inattentive most of the time. Only towards the end when we were almost done, did we get regular visits from our server. The worst part was that they charged our card for someone else's dinner (on top of our actual dinner). It wouldn't have been caught if I hadn't gone through our credit card statement. They, of course, reversed the additional transaction (after a good amount of back and forth), but then didn't proactively offer any reconciliations. After I asked if there was anything they could do for the inconvenience, they offered 20% off our next visit. Unfortunately with everything else stacking up, we won't be returning. There are other options nearby.

    SOOOOOO happy to have this place in the neighborhood! I am obsessed with hot pot and Orion is ! The AYCE is affordable and includes choices of meat and seafood. Also included is the vegetable and seafood bar with tons of choices including shrimp, baby octopus, and a variety of fresh veggies.

    10/10!! Great new Hot Pot spot in Arvada! All you can eat for $27.99. We were attended quickly, our server was great and the music was awesome. Love the broth and meat variety. Plenty of appetizers and sauces to choose from. The only thing was that they did not have a good selection of noodles (just 2 options) Other than that everything was excellent! Golden chicken broth and the spicy broth were both delicious! Very flavorful and super tasty. We will definitely be back!

    We took my dad for his 79th birthday and we're excited to try this new place on a cold winter night. Parking was very easy in front and it was easy to find. We came in early at 5pm and were seated immediately. My niece and nephew have food allergies so they didn't have any options for food outside of the AYCE hot pot options so they left and came back to join us later. I really liked that we all got individual hot pots and could choose our own broths. I went for the pork broth but I was a little mild for me. I wish I had gone for the spicy soup instead. The server took our meat order and told us we could only order 2 meats per person and would get charged for leftover food. We were a little concerned we wouldn't be able to finish with such a stern warning. Once the meats came, we noticed some were more fatty so we hoped we weren't going to be charged for not eating those pieces which we weren't! The broth heated up quickly. We liked the cleanliness and the staff seemed very attentive to making sure dropped items were promptly cleaned up and areas wiped down. The fried dumplings were good. Fried egg rolls were just okay. I liked all of the sauce options. I wish there were a signature dipping sauce like a sukiyaki dipping sauce that we've salivated over at MK Suki. I made my own concoction with cilantro, ponzu, soy sauce, lemon, sugar and hot peppers. I loved all of the veggie options. They looked so fresh and I applaud all of the work to clean and cut them up! The seafood options were plenty and surprising. Loved the dessert ice cream options! We will definitely be back again!

    Flavors were fantastic! Would have liked if they asked more frequently to order additional protein. When checking out, I initially used my Venmo card. After charging the wrong amount, she "voided/refunded it." Said it should automatically go back on the card (which I didn't expect, knowing it takes awhile). I gave them my debit card and paid for the meal twice. Totaling almost $300. I've called multiple times in the last 2 weeks to follow up on the reimbursement and STILL have no resolution.

    So happy to see more hotpot restaurants in the area so that people living in the Northwest don't have to drive so far to get their hotpot fix! If you are looking for quality, or you're a hotpot connoisseur, this is not your place. But if you live in the area and you're craving hotpot, it will do. Inside is way bigger than it seems, lots of tables available and there's a free parking lot. BROTH - good selection of broths to choose from - total of 7! Only thing is that they don't have Tom Yum, which is my favorite. Not a big deal. I went with the Herbal Broth which yummy. Had chinese herbs and dried fish. MEAT - they have different meats you can order with the server. You can only order 2 meat plates at a time per person which is probably their way of preventing waste. Really small amounts of meat per plate. They have seafood options you can order as well such as oysters and blue crab. The oysters didn't seem fresh enough to eat raw so I'd be a bit wary. Blue crab was probably previously frozen so it's just okay. SELF SERVE FOOD - for the rest of the food like noodles, mushrooms and veggies, seafood, you can go up to grab to the fridge to grab as much as you want. Good selection. I was sad to see some mold in the mushrooms, so just double check quality before grabbing. The self serve seafood were probably all previously frozen as well so the quality isn't good. Like the shrimp was kinda mushy... but can't really expect much from an AYCE place. SAUCE - there's a pretty expansive self serve sauce station. Lots of different sauces and toppings to choose from for your sauce My suggestion is that because this restaurant is in a primarily white neighborhood, they should provide instructions for people who are not familiar with how to enjoy hotpot. I sat next to a family who had no idea what they were doing and it didn't seem like the server helped to explain anything.

However, when you enter through the front door and walk in, you get the sense that not only does this restaurant belonghere, you soon will be treated and understand what taiwanese-style hot hots are, and it is truly delicious! We started with orders of popcorn chicken and chicken wings. Both items are a must try appetizers. As I popped a couple of popcorn chicken in my mouth, even without the accommodating sauce, the tastebuds in my mouth were partners dancing and jumping for joy. The sauce used to marinade and cooked in the chicken wing was so good! No side sauce necessary, but it was an added bonus to the dish. My main entrée was the seafood lobster hot soup, and boy, it was flavorful, tasty, and totally delicious! So many items in this soup including shrimp, octopus, clams, mussels, and a lot of different vegetables, but my favorite was the taro. These taro slices went very well with the soup. If you happen to be in the area, go and check out this restaurant. Because of the many soup options, don't be shy to ask for recommendations from the staff. They are very helpful and will assist you and your hunger needs.

It gave the whole space a really energetic, welcoming vibe. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled incredible. I ended up chatting with the owner, Alex, while I waited, and he was super attentive and easy to talk to, which made the wait feel short. By the time I got home, my Sizzling Chicken Skillet sat for about 30-40 minutes before I could eat it... and somehow it was still perfect. The chicken was spot on and the udon held up beautifully. Easily some of the best takeout I've had in Denver. 15/10 would recommend. Definitely coming back, and next time I'm bringing friends!

I do wish there are more meat options like pork tenderloin, pork shoulder, beef tongue... I love that all the broths we've tried are light as that's what sauces are for with hot pots!

I'm glad I checked this place out recently after a strenuous day full of driving and hiking. Hot pot sounded like just the thing to hit the spot. Upon entering, my first impression was that the restaurant felt and looked very clean. Huge plus for that. There were also a good variety of tables ranging from 2 seaters to large party tables. 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.
