Me and my friends go to Soupleaf for every special occasion. I love the selection of meats and how the tables are set up for hotpot. Other hotpot places have an above table heater, but I much prefer the in-table cooking. Every time we've been the waitstaff and hosts have been so nice. Love their ube ice cream! read more

Long overdue, but it's finally time to give a shoutout to Soupleaf Hot Pot! Located in a North Austin shopping center anchored by the popular 99 Ranch Market, Soupleaf is surrounded by several great Asian restaurants. Because the area is so popular, parking can be a challenge during peak hours, but we were fortunate to find a spot without too much trouble. We were seated promptly and our server took the time to explain the different broth and meat options. One of my favorite parts of the experience is that each person can choose their own broth, making it easy to enjoy different flavors and customize your meal. The seafood, vegetables, noodles and desserts are all served buffet-style in the center of the restaurant, allowing you to mix and match ingredients to create your perfect hot pot. Everything was fresh, well-stocked and the staff did a great job of constantly replenishing the buffet. Since you cook everything at your table, there is a bit of a learning curve. Different ingredients require different cooking times, so it took me a few tries to get everything just right as someone who isn't very experienced with hot pot. That's part of the fun, though and it makes the meal feel interactive. The pricing is also very reasonable considering the quality and variety of food available, making it an excellent value. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely return. My only caveat is that I'd probably save it for the cooler months as there's something about sitting over a steaming pot of broth that feels much more appealing when the Texas heat isn't in full force! read more

Oh my goodness! This is the best hotpot I have ever been to! Every hot pot I've gone to always had a weird smell coming in and not as clean. This place is clean and having your own hotpot is so ideal! We went twice during our vacation! Thursday for lunch and then Sunday for dinner. Normally I was told Sundays are busy but we got here right at 5pm and for sat right away. They don't take same day reservations which is odd, not sure why. The meats are all fresh, the buffet for all the soup sauces and extra veggies and meats was clean and the options were plenty. The dessert were mini cakes and the ice cream which were perfect to be the end piece of eating so much meat and veggies and rice! The tonkatasu and mushroom base mixed was my favorite and the pork belly and all the mushrooms! If you want to try an adult drink, the shared soju is perfect! Because we loved this spot we looked for a place in Arizona and we didn't have one so you should totally open one here!!!! read more

AYCE hotpot spot that's give you option of buffet only or premium (buffet + meats). The space is spacious with plenty of tables & booths. Each person gets an individual pot with broth of choice. They have seasonal specials (enoki mushrooms, tofu skin, & quail eggs) that you have to order from the server. The buffet & sauce bar has all your essentials. The ingredients were fresh & fully stocked. The tonkotsu broth was not very flavorful or creamy as I thought it would be. I did like the tom yum broth. It was typically tom yum taste; a little sweet & sour. If you can't decide on two broths, they have an option to mix both of them together. You can only order two meats per person at the time. The meats were good & they give you a good portion of meat per order. The angus brisket, eye round, chunk tender, & sirloin tip were kinda tough. My favorite were the angus toro & pork belly. They were both buttery & soft. They have ube soft serve. It was a little icy in texture, but very good. It has strong ube taste. read more

Well my favorite place to eat right now hands down. I love the fresh food and awesome meat selection. The veggies are farm fresh, with an enormous selection. Seafood lovers rejoice with all of the options! Clean, comfortable and a great spot for a date or a meal with friends. There is bar seating, and you can sometimes snag a spot on a busy evening. Servers are helpful and knowledgeable, and always so friendly. My top tip-ask for a slotted spoon! read more

This is one of my favorite spots. Austin has a few hot pot options these days, but this one stands out to me because of the variety of meat, noodle, side dish, and veggie options. The ube ice cream alone is good enough reason to drop in. One of my favorite drinks at Soupleaf is the mango sticky rice cocktail. It's so good. They also have a non alcoholic version of it suits your needs. I like the low lighting and decor around the restaurant. It's not gaudy or overstimulating. There are seating options for one, two, large and small groups. You can have a communal or individual hot pot experience. The service is great. I've been several times and the wait staff is consistently friendly and attentive. The place is always packed. It's easiest to drop in for a meal on a week night. If you want to go on a weekend, make a reservation or be prepared to wait an hour and a half to two hours. Overall, it's good food and hot pot fun. read more

This is our new favorite hotpot and the best we've found. The service is spot on and very responsive. They keep coming by to ask if we need more meat, which is plentiful. The cost is average for a hotpot place but the variety of ingredients is astounding. The proteans have it all: beef, chicken, pork, tofu...but the salad, fish, and sauce bar is beyond compare. It was challenging to hold back and not get too much. The freshness was surprising. It is crowded but not noisy. It's amazing what people will take back to their chairs. Huge helpings of bok choy, shrimp, eggs (chicken and quail), and a bucket of individually hand made sauces. They offer 5-6 mushroom species and every kind of cabbage and greens known. Amazing. With multiple flavors of broth it is a guarantee you will find your favorite. read more

Soup Leaf is an all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant owned/created/founded by the Lin family (no relation to Jeremy Lin). The interior is dark and aesthetically designed with lots of natural textures. While reservations are available, we were pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it was to walk in and get a table for two. They offer weekday lunch pricing before 3 PM for $25.50, with all other days and times priced at $36 (excluding tax+tip). HOW IT WORKS: Each diner selects a broth, followed by their choice of meats. To avoid waste, you're allowed two plates of meat per person at a time. Once you finish, you can continue ordering more. After placing your initial order with the server, you're free to visit the buffet bar, which has everything else you could possibly need--an abundance of vegetables, seafood, rice, noodles, and a well-stocked DIY sauce bar. Despite the meats being frozen, they cook in the broth easily. One small note: the waiter defaults the broth temperature to the highest heat. My meat overcooked quickly and became a bit chewy. This may be user error, but a quick heads-up from the servers would have been helpful. WHAT WE ORDERED: My partner chose the Tonkotsu broth, while I went with the Tom Yum. Our palates couldn't be more different--he's all about the meat, while I'm a seafood queen. The Tonkotsu, a lightly roasted pork bone broth, was a bit bland for my taste. The Tom Yum, on the other hand, was exceptional--bold, complex, and full of flavor. Even better? It's a collaboration with Austin's very own Madam Mam's, which made it feel extra legit. In addition to all the things you need for your entree, they also serve dessert at the buffet bar. The standout for me were the soft-serves, both the ube and chocolate flavor. read more

A Fun and Flavorful First Hot Pot Experience This was my first time trying hot pot, and Soupleaf is my youngest daughter's favorite spot--did not disappoint. I was impressed by the wide variety of fresh vegetables, broths, and protein options. It felt like a bit of organized chaos at first, but once we got going, everything was delicious and it turned into a really fun experience cooking my own soup right in front of me. One detail I really appreciated was how accommodating the staff were. They kindly let us bring in a birthday cake and stored it in the fridge until we were ready to sing. It made the evening feel even more special. Overall, Soupleaf was a great introduction to hot pot, and I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot - soup with lots of assortment of vegetables including shrimp - Hot Pot Near Me - Austin, Texas

For the price and variety this place makes it pointless to do hot pot at home. You get 2 hrs to eat which is more than plenty. Not many places offer ubbe soft serve. Service is pretty fast. I do expect this place to be more packed when it gets cold. What's weird is I never smell like soup coming out of here unlike other hot pot places. Either it's ventilated well or the soups aren't strong enough. read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband, a friend, and I came in for dinner around 6 pm on a Saturday. It took about 20 minutes to be seated. We each ordered our favorite broths and proteins, and then went to the buffet area to pick our veggies, sea food options, and sauces. On this visit, I picked the tomkatsu broth, chicken, and ribeye. I also tried some of the Angus shoulder. All were good. I ended up trying shrimp, clams, scallops, and chicken dumplings from the buffet, along with a selection of mushrooms, cabbage, bok choy, cabbage, and carrots. You can really fill up on the proteins here, and I definitely felt like we got our money's worth. I've also visited at times when I was eating vegetarian, though, and there are plenty of options for a non meat eater, too. We each also enjoyed a drink or two, and our waitress ended up comping my glass of wine since we were coming in for my birthday. How nice! Good service, not too noisy, and lots of options for diners with different food preferences. I topped of my dinner with a soft serve cone, but there are quite a few options at the dessert buffer, too. read more

I don't often go for hotpot, but usually it is this spot when it happens. They have good selection of meats, seasonal specials, and the buffet part is very good. They have blue crab halves there and I wanted to try it, but it's a bit too messy, so I skipped it. I love enoki mushrooms and I wrapped them in put think sliced meats and dipped in sauce. Ube soft serve was on point too! The service was fast and overall very good, we really enjoyed the experience. read more

See all

Soupleaf was my first-ever hot pot experience and after visiting many others since, I can confidently say this place sets the bar exceptionally high. Every time I go back, I'm reminded how truly special it is. At around $35 per person with meat, it's an incredible value for the quality and variety offered. Even without the meat, the selection is so abundant that you'd still leave completely satisfied. The buffet spread is beautiful and thoughtfully arranged: seafood, root and leafy vegetables, tofu, dumplings, noodles, and an impressive sauce bar with endless combinations. It's clear that care and attention go into every detail. There are at least five soup bases to choose from, and I always go for a mix of the traditional and mala broths for that perfect balance of flavor and spice. The hot pot is built directly into the table, making it easy to cook and interact with your meal, something I really appreciate compared to other places with bulky stovetops. The staff is consistently friendly, patient, and welcoming, whether it's your first visit or your tenth. If you're planning to go, I'd recommend making a reservation or dining during off-peak hours, as it's a popular spot (for good reason). A small tip from experience: start with your seasonings and root vegetables to build flavor, then add leafy greens and seafood later. I always save the meat for last since it cooks in seconds. And don't sleep on the steamed rice, it's perfect while you wait for your pot to bubble to perfection. Every visit leaves me full, happy, and convinced it's worth every penny. Soupleaf is easily one of the best hot pot experiences in town and a place I'll keep returning to again and again. read more

Went there for my daughter's birthday party. They were very friendly and accommodating to add 2 extra people to the table. Was my first time ever doing a hot pot experience so was not sure what to expect. It was very very crowded and very noisy so not a good place for a romantic dinner. People that were dining were in a frantic hurry to grab as much food as possible from the 3 large tables in the back. The floors were very dirty from people dropping food. Was a hazard as I slipped on some ice cream! Our waiter was very nice but never brought all of the meats we had ordered and actually doubled up on meats instead of giving us what we wanted which was disappointing because they do offer a lot of different types of meats. We knew there was a 2 hour limit, however when you have to wait for your broth and meats, you are already 35 minutes in. And time inbetween getting more meat is very slow. The staff was nice, but because of not getting what we ordered and the slowness of items being brought out and having to wait and a strict time constraints, may not come back. read more

I love this place. The restaurant is big and can accommodate some really big parties. Each person gets their own pot. You basically have two options: just the bar or meats + bar. They have a good assortment of veggies and seafood items. My son really enjoyed the soft serve ice cream. At the time we went, it was chocolate and taro. It was so good, I went twice during my one week vacation in Austin! read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot - Current menu as of 3/27/2026 - Hot Pot Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is another Austin staple for me if I'm in the area and craving hot pot. My boyfriend and I went to eat lunch here before our drive back to Houston. Lunch price was $25.50 per person. Even though it was lunch I was curious if certain things were limited. As a given a few of the meats were only for dinner but the ones for lunch are just as great! The quality of the meats were very good and my favorite one was angus toro. For the buffet section it had veggies, noodles, sides, sauces, and seafood. It was such a wide variety of items to add into my hot pot. Our server always checked up on us through out our meal to make sure everything was going well. The restaurant was also very spacious and clean. I love this place! read more

So good! I recently came for a girls night with my friend and I think my only complaint is that I was too full by the end of the night. It is an AYCE hot pot experience where you order the meat through your server and then go up to get various seafood and vegetables for your hot pot. The food is very fresh and the broth was very tasty. The server was also super sweet because I couldn't decide between two broths so she brought me a bowl of one so that I could try both soups. The ambiance is also very nice. It's pretty crowded and luckily we went there early for dinner. We only had to wait about 10 minutes but when we left there was a long line at the door on a Tuesday night. It was dimly lit and very clean with modern decor. I can't wait to go back! read more

There's not too many hot pot places I love in Austin, but this was pretty great. Came here on a Saturday evening and there was a bit of a wait, but we just walked around the stores in the plaza until they told us our table was ready. They have a pretty solid selection of noodles, veggies, and sauces. I got mala (veg) broth which was not bad but I was able to adjust it perfectly to my liking with the sauces from their bar. Our server also gave us extra mala paste on the side which was really nice because I liked adding a lot more mala to my soup as they refilled my broth, and I also liked using it as a dip. I also thought the dessert here was delicious: I loved the raspberry mousse and their ube soft serve. read more

This place is BY FAR my favorite spot for hot pot in Austin! Not only are the prices very reasonable for AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat), but they have a generous variety of meat, vegetable, and seafood options (which are all included) that you can choose from. You get your own individual pot of broth (with different flavors to choose from like lemongrass or tonkatsu) so you don't need to worry about sharing your broth with others. You'll order the meats with your waiter but for everything else, they have self-serve food bars that you can walk up to and grab from. They even have a dedicated section of difference sauces so you can go all out to create your own dipping concoction! I think this is the perfect system because it gives you the flexibility to choose your own individual items (vs. ordering together as a group), and it gives your stomach a break when you get up to grab more food haha! :) On a final note, you can make reservations in advance, but they don't accept day-of reservations so definitely plan ahead if you have a bigger group! read more

I love this ayce hot pot spot! Meats are ordered at the table, and everything else is buffet style. There's also a sizable sauce station. The broths are all amazing, and the quality of the meats, seafood, and veggies are all great as well. I usually choose the pork bone broth but the tom yum is also so yummy. Service is attentive, but if it gets crowded, I would recommend ordering meats etc in batches so that you're not waiting forever for items to come out. It can get super packed on weekends so either come at opening or in between lunch and dinner for a shorter wait. The last time I was there, they had soft serve matcha and ube ice cream too. read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love soup leaf. Great broth flavors, good mix of options for meat, seafood and veg. The way the hot pot is set up, where you order meats and specials with your server and then everyone can pick their own veggies, is my favorite. I feel like it's less wasteful than some places that bring too much and less annoying than places that bring you too little. The Goldilocks of hot pot? The service is always great. I wish they mixed up the soft serve flavors more often. I heard they once had sesame ice cream and had pandan on st. Patrick's day, but I've only seen ube and chocolate. But that's my only complaint - and it won't stop me from going back lol read more

Soupleaf is hands down the best hot pot spot I've tried, and I've tried a lot. This place truly stands above the rest. The ingredient choices are superb with incredibly fresh vegetables, a wide range of high quality meats, and plenty of customizable add ins. You can tell everything is prepared with care, and nothing ever feels skimpy or wilted like at some other spots. The broths are excellent, rich and flavorful without being overly salty, and they pair perfectly with all the dipping options. Every combination we tried came out amazing. Service is great with fast, friendly staff who keep the table stocked and clean. Despite the high quality, prices are very reasonable and match what you'd expect for hot pot, which makes the experience feel like an even better value. If you love hot pot, Soupleaf should be at the top of your list. It is fresh, delicious, and easily my new go to in Austin. read more

Time to update lol since it first opened and my first review I've been here over a dozen times or more lol it is the best hot pot place in town and a top pick for me now. Ever since they said they took out MSG and it's truly an AYCE it has just gotten better and better. It's always clean. Lunch prices is affordable. The buffet bar is ample and always clean. The soup stocks are good. The specials are fun! The ramen is the best and the sauces are varied. I can't say enough good things about this place. Join their rewards program and get points to use after every visit. The ube ice cream is the best please do not take it away. We've celebrated many bdays and special occasions from here since it opened and I will keep recommending this place as the go to for hot pot in town. By far the best even rivals many in Houston. Keep it up Soup Leaf! Thank for always accommodating large parties and keeping things clean and fresh which is a must for hot pot! read more

I was so hungry when I came in I forgot to take pics but I sat in a booth with little soup holes in front of each seat. You had a few soup bases to choose from. The vegan ones are gluten free. Once you pick your broth then you can choose 2 meats per person and trade them out as you finish them. They have a ton of raw veggies and seafood on their buffet lines to add to your soups. Tons of sauces and oils on the ends of the buffet to enhance your broths. They also have mini bite size cakes and soft serve ice cream for dessert. All of the items on the buffet are labeled with allergies which is nice as well. Our server Daniel was also great. I was a little short with him at first bc I was hangry read more

We tried to come without a reservation on a Saturday night, (which was dumb) and the wait was going to be over an hour and 15 min. So, we made a reservation for Sunday morning and were thankfully seated immediately. Once seated, our waiter explained how everything worked. He then took our order fairly quickly, but did take a while to get us our drinks and refills. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and smelled delicious! The buffet lines were beautiful and thoughtfully arranged for ease. There were so. many. choices. It was awesome and also a bit overwhelming. Our server recommended we dip our cooked meats into the sauces, and I'm so glad he mentioned that because it was delish! The meat was excellent. It was rich, umami, and cooked beautifully in the soup. We had the pork, multiple cuts of beef, quail eggs, enoki mushrooms, and it was all so great. We will definitely be back! read more

Being from Dallas, I am lucky to have eaten at such amazing hot pot spots. Austin doesn't seem to have really much of a hot pot scene yet but wow this place could keep up with the better spots in Dallas. Their veggies and sides are top tier, some of the best. Their meat selection is smaller than what I'm used to but what they have is at least standard. I thought their soups were lacking a bit in umami but with the sides, great service, cleanliness, and amazing Ube ice cream, I'd go here again easily. read more

Came here for a double date around 8 PM, and the place was still lively with a good crowd. Luckily, we scored a big, comfortable table right away. Parking can be tricky since it's in a shopping center, but we lucked out with a spot right in front as someone was leaving. The food was excellent--beef was super fresh, vegetables were crisp, and everything tasted top-notch. The broth was flavorful and served piping hot, making the meal even more satisfying. Customer service was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and really made the experience enjoyable. For an all-you-can-eat spot, the price was more than fair and well worth it. Definitely a place I'd come back to again for another fun night out! read more

Soupleaf is one of my favorite hot pot places. During a 14 day travel I made station in four different hot pot places and this is the winner. From friendly, fast service to a great surrounding with nice design this place has it all. For $35 (at the time of the review February 2025) you get an all you can eat hot pot and they mean it - they even have special items of the week that are on a little extra menu. Their broths are full of taste. I couldn't decide which broth I choose so my waiter said she will bring me a sample of each and I am so happy she did cause of not I would have taken the second best lol. In fact this restaurant is so good I had to come back the very next day. Whenever I am back in Austin the soup leave will be on my list. And it should be on yours as well. read more

Soupleaf sings to my soul on a cold winter's day! Tried this place on a whim after seeing an Instagram contest. I think I have a new favorite hotpot buffet! First, its AYCE - choose from a handful of different stock bases (i plan to try them all eventually). You can't go wrong with tonkotsu. Then order meats, and look for any specials of the moment on the paper menu too. Then go grab veggies or seafood at the buffet. The buffet is beautifully laid out, and appears to be kept fresh. They have two areas for dipping sauces to avoid congestion too. One of my favorite things was unlimited shrimp and scallops. Our server Calaya or "C" was incredible. She was very conscientious of our food allergy concern and made us feel confident about eating at soupleaf. read more
