This place is amazing! We went on a Saturday and it was already busy. Thankfully we made a reservation so didn't have to wait long. I had never been and out server was amazing at explaining things to me, she was very patient. Oh my gosh the food was so delicious. I wasn't sure which base to get,so got the spicy and boy did it get the sinuses moving! Just like I like it. All the fixings that you can get for the soup, it looks overwhelming but it's not at all. Go hungry otherwise you won't enjoy it as much. By the time we were done, the restaurant was packed and there was a wait, but you'd never know it. They kept everything so smooth and moving you don't even notice. Oh I'll be back! read more

love this place!! -- came here for an after church meal + it was exactly what I needed before my afternoon nap, haha! The meats were so good, and plentiful! I enjoyed the Mala broth and my friend had the lemongrass based broth -- both spicy and delicious. I am a person that likes a lot of options + I love how they have a variety of veggie (and seafood!!!!) options at raw bar. definitely come here, especially while it's cold! Our server was also amazing. Very tentative and kept our table clean! read more

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

We had a delicious dinner here on Saturday night with Melinda C. I originally made reservations for 7:30 PM, but we were trying not to rush at West China Tea House before we came here, so I called and the staff graciously moved us to 8:00 PM. Once we were seated, our server described how everything worked since we were all newbies to Soupleaf. We chose six meats for the table (lamb, sirloin, ribeye, brisket, tongue, and pork shoulder), and from the seasonal menu, tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, and quail eggs. Behind us were enormous buffets of seafood, veggies, sauces, and one I completely missed: noodles and rice cakes. I did not realize the sauce bars were different so I made sauces from the one right behind us, which was stocked with so many items! For my broth I chose shiitake, Melinda C. chose miso dashi, and Eric R. ordered tonkotsu. My favorite meats were the lamb and the sirloin, which blew my mind with how tender it was after cooking. The server offered to bring more, but the three of us were stuffed with the six meat plates plus everything from the buffet. I also got a bowl of rice from the buffet which I enjoyed with some of my cooked food. The tofu skin and tofu absorbed my broth so well. I also had a mango sticky rice mocktail which was delicious. Eric R. got a jasmine tea lager which he also liked (and I took a sip)! This is a fun place, and the servers came around and refilled our broths as they got low. It is a spacious restaurant, and the staff is so friendly. I really enjoyed our experience. I highly recommend the sirloin for one of your meat choices! read more

One of my go to places for hot pot when my appetite is big - food quality is solid and service is fast. If you don't make a reservation, be prepared to wait a while but it's worth it read more

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

One of my fav hot pot places! AYCE for $35 and they have a huge sides selection and "make your own sauce" station. My favorite broth is the Tonkotsu and favorite drink is also the "blueberry ginger lemonade" - it's defaulted to a mocktail, but you can add vodka. Pro tip: 1) make a reservation, 2) give yourself 15-20 minutes to find parking. There are tons of restaurants and little shops in this shopping center so parking is very limited. read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot - Round one. - Hot Pot Near Me - Austin, Texas

We went to Soupleaf with a large group to celebrate a birthday. I've been to one other hot pot restaurant and didn't enjoy it so I did not have high expectations for this one. It absolutely blew me away. The choices that we had from the buffet lines, as well as all the meats that were brought to our table were all excellent. Our server was very attentive and would offer refills before anyone had to ask for them as well as clean the plates as we were getting up to get more food from the buffet . They had many different options for your hot pot broth and our waiter asked us if we would like to try his seasoning that he typically uses for his and it was also delicious. Highly recommend you check it out. read more

I love soupleaf every time I go! This has been my 3rd or 4th time and the service is always great. On the first visit, they explained how to go through the ordering process and dip the meats. They recommend even mixing 2 broth flavors which made it even better! Last night, Brian was our server and he did a great job of reminding us why we love Soupleaf with his excellent service! But all the server we have had are great I wish I could remember all their names. Ambiance is relatively casual which makes it great for lunch ($25 per person) or dinner ($35 per person) The meat quality is excellent as well, my favorite being the Berkshire pork shoulder, pork belly, and the ribeye. I love that it's all you can eat and you can cook it as you go. I'm a slow eater so this is perfect for me. I never feel rushed and the buffet quality is awesome too. The fresh ramen really sealed the deal for me. There are instructions on how to cook the noodles, but the meats are all up to your own discretion. Chicken dumplings are awesome too. Since you can order as much meat as you like, I tried lots of different cook times on the beef cuts and even when I overcooked it the flavor was still great, and I could dip it in endless sauces. But I learned my personal preference for the sweet spot for each protein. I truly don't understand the reviews from people who say it was a difficult experience to figure out. I can only assume those reviews are from people without common sense or who didn't ask questions. Anytime I am unsure of something, the staff here is always willing to walk me through things and make recommendations without judgment. The cocktails and happy hour are awesome here too. It's a great deal at $35 per person for dinner. read more

I love Soupleaf! It's the best hotpot to exist. The varieties of vegetables is phenomenal! They also provide freshly made noodles (variety!) to put in your soup. They also serve ube(!!) ice cream from time to time. The mushroom broth with mala chili (veg) is to die for! I keep coming back for more read more

Great hot pot place. This one is unique for the individual pot setup. Smaller than I expected but could be an asset especially for people who like to switch broths. Service was fast and helpful. Not cheap and extremely busy but also very very good so if you want to treat yourself this place is worthy. read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot - Initial trays of meat - Hot Pot Near Me - Austin, Texas

Our first time going to Soupleaf was a hit, so we will definitely be back. We went as a friend group, so had a group of 4 people there. We were sat at a table quickly, and since it was our first time, we were given a detailed explanation of how everything works. Fortunately, since we were a group, we ordered a bunch of the meats and got a huge variety, my personal favorite was the (toro beef and the brisket). After, we hit the buffet to get all our add ons, and boy there was a TON. Ranging from seafood, to veggies, to sauces, you name it, they had it to add it. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back! read more

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

I come here as my go-to hot pot place. Funny how when I first moved to Austin in 2016, Little Lamb on campus was struggling and now there are several hot pot restaurants. Anywho, this is my go-to because of the buffet style ingredients. You get your seafood, veggies, noodles at the buffet and make your sauce. They don't charge you extra for the sauce. There is a variety of broths, which I feel like flavor went down over the months. So you kind of need to doctor it up with a scoop of your sauce (or use a house sauce + a scoop of chili). The servers are always around to help and the meat quality is varied as well as unlimited. I love the tofu skin, which they didn't have any the night I went. They also don't offer quail eggs. Try not to overflow your individual hot pot because it gets into the table crevices but also could spill onto your feet? You control the temperature by pushing buttons on the side of the table right in front of you, so I don't know how this is an issue, if you're not paying attention. They have cocktails and teas as well as soda. And I enjoy the ube ice cream alot. There's parking in the back as well as the front. The waitlist isn't too bad, since it's a large restaurant, but they also take reservations. read more

This place is so good! Service was excellent. Choices in meats and buffet bar has so many options. It's definitely a spot you'll go back to. Place was clean and vibes were good. read more

Forget dainty finger sandwiches and a pot of tea; give me tiered plates of meat and a pot of soup any day. By the time we finished our meal, we agreed that hot pot had forever changed our definition of a ladies' lunch, proving that sometimes the best way to spill the tea is over a steaming pot of meat. read more

I got the tonkotsu broth and I really enjoyed the beef toro and brisket. They also had a lot of vegetable and seafood options that you can just go grab. A small thing that I really liked is that you can grab a small portion of noodles, I really liked the knife cut noodles and the ramen noodles. Normally dessert at buffets don't stand out to me but they had sesame soft serve which I loved (my boyfriend didn't because he thought the sesame was too strong so it's personal preference I guess). The workers were really nice and we were immediately seated for two. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a bit dark inside. read more

Second time here & brought friends for the first time and it did not disappoint. our waiter was very patient and explained the process and menu very thoroughly when we got sat. The buffet area was surprisingly clean and full of things to pick from. there weren't buckets that were empty and nothing looked old. Seafood looked fresh and the veggies were bright green. We ordered many rounds of meat since thats what we were here to eat & the cut looked fresh and clean. The hotpot heaters worked a lot better than last time i was here. My soup heated up very quickly despite a full restaurant. Last time i had to turn the heat down to a medium to ensure everyone else at the restaurant could also heat up their hotpots. our water was constantly filled and we were checked on multiple times. No complaints, great spot to check out if you are really hungry and want to stuff your face! read more

Flavorful broth, fresh veggies, and an amazing tower of meats - can't ask for more at hot pot! I've been several times and the quality and consistency is always great and worth the price! Food: So many meats to choose from, and we usually order 4 at a time. The lamb is my favorite since it's so tender and flavorful. Also appreciate they have beef tongue and tripe as well! I recommend getting some of the leaner cuts to start, and then as the meal progresses to order the more marbled meats like the toro. The bar area has so many more hotpot options including seafood and veggies - these are some of the freshest veggies at an AYCE I've seen. The sauce bar is also fully loaded with anything you can imagine. Don't forget to check out the seasonal items on the menu too - the tofu skins and quail eggs are some of my favorites. Drinks: pretty good selection of cocktails and non alcoholic beverages! The lychee cocktail was delicious, and if you come on your birthday you get a free birthday drink. Service: Always amazing! Our servers are pretty quick with orders and often walk by with the broths for refills. Our table is always cleared of dirty plates, and food comes out fast. Vibe: always pretty busy when we come, so reservation is helpful! Very relaxed and casual vibe, plenty of table space so it never feels cramped. Parking is tough in this plaza, so you need to be patient read more

This is the best hot pot place in Austin without a doubt. Concept is AYCE, when I went for dinner it was 35 if you wanted meat and 30 if you didn't want meat. The non meat section is buffet style, tons of typical hot pot ingredients offered, great selection. They have 5 types of broth that you can pick from. Large selection of meat to choose from. Service was really good, our server took the time to explain and check up on us frequently. We got there at 5 right when they opened and within 30 minutes the entire place was packed, with a line out the door. Highly recommend and would go back! read more

I was a bit wary of trying Soupleaf because I've heard so many mixed reviews, what with the potency of the broth or complaints about the meat, etc. But after going myself, I think it's a perfectly decent spot to do hotpot! I wouldn't say it wowed me, but it also wasn't disappointing, and I had a very satisfying meal. The broth was pretty good in my opinion, and even if it leaned towards the more bland side, I don't really mind because I end up dipping all of my food in sauce anyways. The food selection is pretty wide and spread across several counters. So you don't necessarily have to wait in line every time you get up, like at some other places I've been to. It can be a little difficult to get more meat because you have to wait for your server and you can only order a certain amount at a time. But it isn't the biggest deal. Also kind of unrelated, but I just love the plaza that this restaurant is in! read more

For reference, I only came here when they were just opening, so things may have changed. Personally, I didn't really feel fulfilled with the selection. At the time, nothing outside of basic hot pot options and not very much seafood. Everything was kinda wilted and had to really pick out better veggie sides. The pork stank more than any other hot pot place I went to, and it had a stinky aftertaste after cooking. Overall, convenience and value-wise, maybe worth. But also I would stick to making hot pot at home. read more

Great authentic Korean hotpot. The item buffet is clean and fresh. Don't sleep on the desserts,

Oh man we can't get enough of this place! The whole family loves it. Bring your empty tummy when you come bc it's all you can eat and fairly guilt free! You get to cook really thinly sliced great cuts of meat in piping hot tasty broth of your choosing. Then you pile in all of your fresh veggies from the salad bar plus fresh house made ramen noodles or which ever noodles you choose. Then make a custom sauce and you are ready to dive right in. It's always packed so make a reservation so you don't have to wait long. We had the best server on Sunday, Violet! read more

My darling hubby and I have been really excited about trying this place ever since we first heard about it a couple of months ago! The reviews on here are obviously stellar, and the somewhat DIY pictures of the place look super-interesting! Truth be told, my husband has probably been more excited than me because he loves nothing more than to build his own hot pot to the most intricate detail wherever we go, and I'm definitely the pre-designed "off the menu" type of girl. Anyway, not knowing much more than that about Soup Leaf, we made our reservations, and off we went! The shopping center where it's located has all kinds of Asian restaurants and shops, and we felt pretty sure that this boded well for Soup Leaf's authenticity, and it did! The place was PACKED, so we were super-glad that we made reservations! It's definitely a busy and interesting restaurant FO SHOW! We found out that it's all you can eat, so my husband was grinning ear to ear because it definitely IS a DIY event! You choose your broth and your meats, and then, while that's going, you saunter over to the absolutely insane "buffet-style" add-on options! They literally have everything! You bring your selections back to your table, where your bubbling broth and meat tray is waiting, and then you build away! At this point, my darling hubby was in hog heaven with the choices! They give you an instruction sheet on the timing for everything, so you're not totally on your own, but there's a delicious sense of autonomy that's second to none! They also refill your hot pot with as much broth (and they'll switch it out, if you want to try a different kind), whenever you want! Our server, Channie, was such a delight, and she was a wonderful guide to get us acclimated! All in all, we have officially found our go-to hot pot place in Austin, and we're BEYOND psyched! Thank you, Soup Leaf! We will SO be back! read more

This place is my favorite hot pot place. The meat is so yummy and fresh. I LOVE all the options and the layout. I love that I can pick all my own veggies, starches, and mix up my own sauce. The employees are super efficient. They really make sure to get everyone served in a timely manner, which is good because this place is always packed, which is a good sign. I also love that if you don't like the broth they are very friendly and upfront and let you know you can switch it out if it's not to your liking. Dinner with a friend here while you yap and eat delicious meats, veggies, and chewy noodles, along with a bottle of soju, is really quite simply, a perfect evening. read more

I had low expectations set since I usually eat hotpot in Houston but this is my new go to spot in ATX. The meat, food, and sauce selection is perfect! I went on Saturday at dinner time and it was packed. About a 30 minute wait, so I recommend reserving before if possible. The space is smaller than I expected so a bit more packed in there. read more

Soupleaf is really next level -- raising the bar for hotpot in Austin! There is a crazy amount of variety and something for everyone. And for everything you get, the price really is extremely reasonable! We've been 3 times in the last two months with different people. Some of our fav features: * Several broth flavors to choose from, including favorites like Tonkatsu, Miso, Mushroom, and Tomato (pro tip: mix with their Mala paste). In our family this helps a lot cuz we've got a few picky eaters! * So many meats! Especially love the lamb, beef toro, and ribeye. * Incredible seafood selection at the buffet, and it's always so fresh tasting. * Looots of veggies. Especially love the selection of mushrooms. * Great selection of noodle options, too. * Frozen yogurt machine! They rotate flavors They also have special discounted pricing if you skip the meats and just do the seafood/veggie buffet. Seriously, Soupleaf has made it hard for me to want to go to any other hotpot. It's that good! read more

Soupleaf Hot Pot is one of the best AYCE hot pot restaurants in Austin. They have bar seating and booth seating all including individual hot pots per seat. Their meat menu is a bit limited, but they cover all the bases to be satisfied. I always get the Tom Yum soup base, and order a variety of beef before heading towards the buffet area. Usually, I'm a little bit apprehensive of buffets, but everything is surprisingly very neat and clean. They have 2 sauce bars and a large variety of vegetables, seafood, and noodles to choose from. The servers are always checking up on you for whether you need a soup refill or need to order more meat. The food is great, the service is great, and I always leave feeling absolutely stuffed. read more

This is probably one of the best AYCE hot pot places in Austin. This is a shabu place where each person gets their own small pot and jot one of the large shared pot places. You can choose from 5 different broths, but I think the tonkatsu and mushroom are mu favorites as I do like lighter broths when doing hot pot. The meat options aren't as plentiful as some of the big chains, but has more than enough to satisfy. You order from the server and they bring it out on small plates. Most of the other items you get yourself buffet style. I definitely loaded up on the scallops and clams to give my broth more depth. Soupleaf would be a great choice if you have a vegetarian in your party too as they have a tonnn of veggie choices. Overall, great experience. The ube soft serve is not to be missed! read more

Soupleaf is the best in Austin for hotpot. Buffets usually gross me out, so I am always impressed with how clean Soupleaf keeps their food stations. The restaurant is very spacious and can accommodate large parties easily. They have so many options for meat, seafood, vegetables, and noodles to add to your hotpot. My preference is for the mala broth. It's the perfect level of Szechuan spice. The sauce bar has everything you need to make a delicious dipping sauce. The service is always great every time we go. Don't forget to end meal with a cone of soft serve! read more

So pleasantly surprised with the AYCE hotpot place. Lots of varieties of meats, seafoods, vegetables, noodles, sauces and dessert. I wish I left more of an appetite to eat. Everything was fresh and the place was packed! The food kept on coming out and refilled at the stations. All the meats were delivered straight from the kitchen to you for your individual hotpot. The only thing was it seemed like servers were way too busy/ sometimes you had to remind them to top off the broth. read more

Make sure to make a reservation before you come otherwise you'll be waiting more than an hour for a table! I'm glad we thought ahead and booked a table as we got seated immediately. This was our first time at the restaurant and our server was very helpful explaining the menu and process. I got the frozen lychee martini which was divine! And we got various meats which tasted like good quality to me. My fave is the ribeye but don't sleep on the tripe! Getting the rest of the assortments and sides was a little hectic since there were so many people, but I liked that they described everything and even had 'recipes' for different dipping sauces if you didn't want to make your own creation. I liked the spicy ponzu. All in all I think $35 for AYCE hotpot is an amazing deal and will definitely return. read more

I love hot pot and this place did not disappoint. We were able to make a same day reservation for 8 people on a Saturday night and were seated promptly when we arrived. The restaurant is very spacious and everyone gets their own individual pot. Our waitress (Amanda, I believe) was so helpful and attentive. I got the tomato broth, Amanda brought us bowls of Mala paste to try. I mixed some into my broth and it elevated the flavor of the broth. They provide meat slices to order, but everything else is buffet style including the sauce bar. They have a good selection of veggie, seafood, and noodles. The meat slices were beautiful and came out quickly. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be returning! read more

Standard all you can eat hot pot restaurant. Like other hot pot restaurants, they serve the usual assortment of seafood, meat, vegetable, and starches. Dessert is also provided, including fruits, small cakes, and ice cream. Their serving sizes are on the smaller end but that's to be expected of an all you can eat restaurant.
