    Volt is a wonderful server at an extraordinary restaurant. If you've never tried a hot pot restaurant, the time is now. Shikku Hot Pot's food is extraordinary; a panoply of colors, aromas, textures and spices. Everything is fresh and cooking before you. If you've never tried hot pot and need a little more information or want the best service in Massachusetts, ask for Volt. Also worth noting is that this place is modern, immaculate, and sparkling clean. This was just what I needed after my disastrous last meal at an unnamed metal-tabled fifth-rich restaurant named after a smoked jalapeño but whose name I will not disclose.

    This is a place that is best appreciated by a mid-sized group of adults--3-6 people. Hot Pot is a social activity and smaller groups will likely spend an equivalent amount to achieve the same flavors as would naturally occur in a larger group.

    This place is top level. Usually we go to Quincy or Chinatown for Hot Pot. It is so great to have such awesome place nearby! The food is incredible - for vegetarians, the options are plentiful. And the drinks...the drama in the presentation of the Lemon drop and its elevated taste profile are like nothing I've ever had. This place is a must go!

    Me and my dad had the all you can eat. A new experience for us but was very good and great guidance from staff. I recommend the wagu steak!

There is a make your own sauce station and hot rice if you like that. Place is a bit dim but it looks gorgeous. Not a loud eating place. Everything was delicious and I admire the wooden plates that everything was served in. I will say it was about $50 per person WITH tip. Would totally recommend!

Hot pot makes…read moredinner feel like an occasion: you choose what sounds good, cook it at your own pace, and experiment with flavors along the way. The sauce bar is a highlight. I saw "Soukie's Secret Sauce" in another Yelp review and made my own version without the bean curd or sugar. It was a great starting point, and mixing a sauce is part of the fun. I've eaten hot pot in several countries, and each place does things a little differently. If this is your first visit, ask plenty of questions so you can settle in and enjoy the experience. The gender neutral restrooms have always been immaculate when I've visited. On this particular night, the restroom on the right was out of paper towels. I let the staff know, and they took care of it. That kind of attention adds to an already enjoyable meal. I'd gladly come back.

    My friend spoke highly of this AYCE Hotpot location so I was eager to give it a try. We chose the…read morestandard option (where meat is not included in the AYCE) since she was a pescatarian and I was down to have a veggie focused experience. The ordering is done on an iPad and we both picked the herbal soup. This is place where you get to have your own pot to cook in. And the first thing I was blown away by was how abundant their self service area was. It reminded me of SoupLeaf in Austin with maybe less veggie options but definitely more meat based options (spam, fish balls, tofu balls etc). The ambiance is also good here since each table is akin to a booth so it doesn't get too loud. Ice cream isn't included in the price of the standard AYCE so the dessert options are just the milk tea herbal jelly or the fruits. The hot options also rotate-- the fries were replaced by chicken tenders by the time I was leaving and they also put out sesame balls.

    This used to be our go to place for big family dinners or birthday celebrations but it seems to be…read moregoing downhill and we will not be returning from the experience today. I came here as a party of 5 (4 adults and 1 child). Food: They no longer have the big clams you can order and when we asked about it the waitress told us that changed but we still saw it in photo with seafood combo and she said we can order it there but we don't eat the crab and shrimp. She insisted we couldn't order just clams anymore. They used to have ice cream machine a while back but that got downgraded to just ice cream in small foam cups you get after paying. Service: It has always been meh but it didn't bother us because we come here mostly for the food. When we got the bill, we were billed for 4 adults and older child $17.99 vs $11.99 we paid last month. The pricing is based on child's height 36-47in and 48in+. I told the waitress my son was few inches below 48inches and the other waitress next to her rolled her eyes and looked annoyed. Then they insisted my son stand next to measuring stick to show them that before they'll adjust the bill. Even when showed that he is well below that, they never once apologized and it felt like I was causing an inconvenience for them. They automatically added 20% service charge to the bill and I'm typically used to that for parties of 6 or more. Not a huge deal since it would've been tipped anyway as I feel that's standard for eating out but it feels different if it was 'demanded' vs customer had a choice. Overall their service is poor and selection of what you can get is getting smaller while the price is increasing. With so many competitors around and with pricing of $40/adults for lunch here, it may be wise to check out other places.

    I wanted to love this place. It has some of the right ingredients to be successful. But ultimately…read morethe Korean food just lacked that something you need. I got the rice bowl and it was something you don't expect: kind of bland. Heck I Ben the hot chili paste wasn't too hot or flavorful either. Yes the ingredients were fresh but it just was forgetful the moment you left the place. The noodle dish was similar. Both were also a little light on the protein, particularly the noodles which needed some else to be successful. The dumplings were fine but the next day I had another dumplings that reminded me why these dumplings felt bland as well. The interior is ok and service was uninspired too. Did like the potato salad for the little side dish. But just enough to make me want to make an effort to go back. It's not bad by any means but just rather plain.

    Went here for lunch with my bf since this is his favorite spot to go to when we are back in town!…read more Food: I honestly was impressed by the gyoza/mandun (not pictured). The sauce they served is definitely homemade, and we ordered the steamed ones which really let the flavor soak in. Both my bf and I ordered the raymun noodles, mine had a lot of flavor due to the added kimchi (which is also noticeably homemade). Altogether the food was good and we enjoyed our meal. Service: our waitress was great and gave us ample time to look at the menu! Ambiance: it's a small little shop, but imo those are the best places. They have some booths, and are playing kpop as the music ambiance! Overall, I would give this place a 4.3/5. As the raymun was good, but I think I would've enjoyed another dish like bulgogi.
