One of my favorite hotpot spots along the East coast. They have fantastic affordable prices for the quantity that they provide. I came alone so Combo A was perfect for me as it came with an appetizer, side, platter of vegetables, and two meats. For the broth, I had medium spice level and I recommend half and half tomato or getting mini as it can get VERY spicy even at medium. They added a lot of spice to it which I was a little bit surprised, but I was able to tolerate it. For the appetizer I had their crispy pork belly and it was a huge portion, nothing too special about it but was crunchy and went well with the chili flakes. For the side, I had fried rice and it was just regular fried rice but went really well with the spicy broth. The meats and vegetables were fresh and everything came out quickly and the staff was friendly as well. read more

Perhaps one of my favorite hotpot spots in the triangle area. This spot is slightly smaller than their Cary sister location and therefore on weekends the wait time can get up to 40-45 minutes at peak times (6-7pm). I don't think they allow reservations, it's just first come first serve or I think you can also call ahead to put yourself on a wait list. Fantastic ambiance, really attentive service and fresh ingredients. It's not all you can eat, you order by plate. Which is nicer, you don't feel so bloated after eating there because you can portion control easier, and it's more cost effective. I'm personally a big fan of their beef cuts, tripe, lamb, even some more niche cuts like the ox aorta are good too. The side dishes are great too. Particularly a fan of their fried rice cakes. Highly recommend coming here for hotpot! read more

Szechuan Mansion Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

First off this place felt modern with a traditional Chinese element which I felt was a perfect balance. The food selection was very vast with many options. But the downside for me was that there were not an all you can eat option so if you wanna try a little bit of everything it may cost you more than you'd like. The broth we got was far too spicy for my taste and we chose a mild so unless you can handle a lot of spice I recommend the lower option below mild. But the meat was very good. I also enjoyed the potato appetizer the most! Definitely my favorite thing there. And the Thai tea was perfect for me! Now the service for me was okay not the best service I've had. Just wish it felt more friendly. But overall this place was okay I wouldn't go out of my way but if I was nearby I may stop in. read more

I am so glad Durham got a hot pot place! We come here every couple of months typically for a celebration. The quality of the food is better than the AYCE options around. It's also more spacious / tables are further apart and the vibe is less chaotic though still festive than other spots too! The pastes are super good. The service is pretty good too - workers are hustling! It's def pricier than AYCE. I don't love that they charge they're super spicy broth option. They also don't seat you into your whole party is here. And it gets super busy on weekends. Still a regular spot for me and a place I eagerly take friends and family! read more

Excellent food and service! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. We loved the oil bar.

I love this place-the food is exotic and phenomenal. At first I was confused about how it worked. Just bring some friends and order one of the family meals. The 3-4 person could easily feed six. First you chose a base, a broth. I recommend trying two yin yang style. We got the mushroom and a spicy beef broth. They bring broth, set it to boil and then we added the goods-shaved meat, meatballs, noodles, and some delish veggies. Mushrooms, corn, book choy Pumpkin! And more. You fish it out with tongs and make a sloppy mess but man, it hits right on a cold wet day. Be sure and check out the sauce bar, creating tasty blends recommended on the signs overhead. Leftovers were even better the next day. read more

This place is small and cute and has been packed every time we've been. They have a patio that's enclosed with heaters so they use it year-round. The food is delicious. I don't really have any complaints but maybe "could be done better"- the first time we went it was mine and my partner's first time to have hot pot ever. The server didn't explain anything, just brought water, laid down menus and walked off. We learned what we needed to do by looking around at other tables and didn't even realize there was a buffet of sauces that you can get to eat with your food until this last visit because we weren't told and it's kind of tucked into a corner so you don't necessarily see it if you're seated on the patio. All that to say, taking a second to say "is this your first time here? Or have you had hot pot before?" So they could give us a quick run down would have made our overall experience a lot better. That said though, our servers overall have been nice and the is great so we'll be back soon. read more

Tried this restaurant during a date night with my hubby. We went on a Monday and did not have to wait to be seated. The restaurant was open and bright. The service was good. It was our first time trying hot pot and we received a good run down of how the process works. The waiter answered any questions we had. For the food we ordered the two broths combo and we had plenty of food. I loved the sauce bar with the recipes and we made some good sauces. The flavor of the broth was tasty as well. Overall no complaints and a swell experience. The sauces we made really ensured that the food had max flavor. I loved the large amount of veggies that come with the meal as well. There were a few different ones that I haven't tried before. It's not something I will do often but it was nice to give it a try! read more

The food was good the atmosphere was nice and inviting this was a fun first time experience for me and my other half HOWEVER we were the only MELANATED people in the restaurant each server passed our table and NEVER engaged with us. I had to ASK that my water be refilled. Even after telling them this was our FIRST experience they were absolutely no help THEN at the end the waitress/cashier whatever her position watched me write $0 for a tip on my $82 and change bill and had the AUDACITY to ask me for a tip and I said FOR WHAT shorty said THE SERVICE ‍ I let her know I watched them service every pale complexion person with no problem yet we were ignored. DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE NOT PALE IN COMPLEXION. read more

Szechuan Mansion Hotpot - Hot Pot Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Love this establishment! My girlfriend and I frequent this spot whenever I'm in town. Their outdoor seating area is cute and wholesome. They have a lot to choose from for their hotpot options, but we opted for the dry hotpot (which is a different menu, you have to ask for it). We ordered the Beef Dry hotpot, and for add ons we had tripe, intestines, and the COD. The cod filets is a MUST ADD ON. The crunch and spice is just chefs kiss. Sauce bar here is also a nice touch, good selection. The portions here are HUGE, so definitely don't over order with your eyes haha. I think the portion we had could easily feed 4-5 people. The spice too wasn't too spicy, and it provided a nice burn to the food, which I appreciate. Food is so flavorful and I can't wait to come back!! read more

I came here with 2 other friends on a weekend evening and it was packed! We waited about an hour for a table but once we were seated, the service was very fast and efficient. We ordered Combo C and it was enough food for 3 people. I liked how it has a variety of many different foods. In my opinion, the key to a successful hot pot is the sauce, so I appreciated the sauce bar where you can make your own sauce. My go to sauce involves a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and garlic chili sauce. I thought the food was great and we had an enjoyable meal. We sat outside which was pretty hot considering we visited during September but they had fans to keep us cooler plus it was a shorter wait if we sat outside. Ideally, I would sit inside during the summer and maybe consider sitting outside in the fall/spring season. Overall, I had a great time at this restaurant and I look forward to returning! read more

Szechuan Mansion Hotpot - Combo C - Hot Pot Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

The short version: Szechuan Mansion Hotpot's new second location in Durham is just as good as the original location in Cary. I think these are the best Szechuan *and* Chinese hot pot restaurants in the Triangle. I'd only come to this location if it's more convenient for you. The Cary location is bigger so there's less of a chance of waiting there. Both locations are popular and deservedly so. The long version: Szechuan Mansion opened this second location in Old West Durham, near Duke East Campus, in June 2023. You can park for free on 9th St. Signs say two-hour parking, 8am-6pm. This isn't a small restaurant, but it's not huge either. I counted 10 tables in the main front dining room, an additional large table by the sauce bar towards the back, and a few more tables in the back dining room. Most tables could seat up to five people each. We saw a group of 12 literally squeeze around the large table by the sauce bar. We overheard the manager say that table is this location's biggest table. Szechuan Mansion doesn't take reservations, but you can call and put your name on their waitlist. I suggest doing that. When we arrived on a Saturday just before 6pm, the place was packed. The manager told us our wait time, for a party of two, would be one hour "at least." My wife entered her name and phone number into their touchpad. We were able to see our place in line. We checked in with the host later and were able to see how many tables were ahead of us. We ended up getting seated around 7pm, so the one-hour estimated wait time was fairly accurate. The food here is really good. While Szechuan Mansion is known for their hot pot where you cook most everything yourself, their non-hot-pot dishes are excellent as well. We've gone to the Cary location multiple times just for their appetizers, malatang soup combos, dry pots, and boild [sic] pots. While the DIY hot pot experience can be fun, if you're not feeling up to it, the aforementioned items are just as satisfying. The food is legit and "authentic." Some hot pot restaurants do mini or individual hot pots. Szechuan Mansion does it the more common and traditional way with a big communal hot pot for each party. At the time of our visit, hot pots started at anywhere from $8.99 to $18.99 for broth(s) plus a la carte ingredients at $3.99 to $15.99 each. The prices can add up quickly if you want to feast and try lots of different things. However, I think the cost is relatively reasonable. For example, after tax and tip, my wife and I ate for $106.13 and had enough leftovers to fill us up for a second meal. I counted over 80 dishes on the menu for hot pot alone. They included all sorts of meats and vegetables. There were five kinds of mushrooms and various Asian veggies like Tong-Ho (chrysanthemum), Bamboo Shoots, Taro, and White Radish (daikon). Some of the more exotic dishes included Goose Intestine, Ox Aorta, Duck Feet, and Pork Brain. The menu can be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. To make things easier, combos designed for one to four people were available at $14.99 to $66.99 per combo. Combos offered a variety of meats and vegetables plus apps/sides, with some customization. Combos didn't include broth(s). Adding broth(s), total combo prices worked out to $23.98 to $85.98 per combo, before tax and tip. Here's what we got: Yin-Yang Two-Flavor Pot * Beef Tallow Mala Hotpot ($5.99) - medium spicy * Organic Tomato Broth ($5.99) - with pork broth Hot Pot Dishes: House Special Stewed * Braised Beef ($6.99) * Braised Beef Tendon ($6.99) Meat * Enoki Mushroom Beef Rolls ($9.99) * Sliced Pork Belly ($5.99) * Fish Ball with Pork ($5.99) Hotpot Special * Kungfu Beef Tripe ($7.99) Mushroom * Shiitake Mushroom ($4.99) Vegetable * Fried Tofu Puff ($4.99) * Napa Cabbage ($3.99) * Watercress ($3.99) * Bean Sprouts ($3.99) * Winter Melon ($3.99) Rice & Noodle * Greenbean Vermicelli ($3.99) Everything was delicious and good quality. The "medium" spicy was plenty hot for us and we love spicy food. My wife's favorite items were the Napa Cabbage, Fried Tofu Puffs (because they soak up the soup), Enoki Mushroom Beef Rolls, and Shiitake Mushrooms. My wife's favorite part is cooking the vegetables at the end since cooking the meats beforehand makes the broths more flavorful. My favorite items were the Braised Beef Tendon, Enoki Mushroom Beef Rolls, Sliced Pork Belly, and Kungfu Beef Tripe. The important sauce bar was fully stocked with over 20 condiments and mix-ins like soy sauce, black vinegar, MSG, sesame oil, minced garlic, cilantro, spring onion, chopped peppers, oyster sauce, shacha sauce, and chili oil. Sauce recipe suggestions were available at the bar. I loaded up on garlic and MSG. Something that sets Szechuan Mansion apart from other hot pot places are the sauces *enhance* the foods that have been cooked in the broth. This is a testament to Szechuan Mansion's broths as you don't have to rely as heavily on the sauces for flavor. Service was good. read more

hot pot trinity A good hot pot place just needs 3 things. Flavorful broth, good meat, fresh produce. This place has these things. I was a fan of their prime beef and shrimp paste. Veggies were def fresh. I made the mistake of getting the medium spicy broth which was hella spicy. Bone broth was excellent tho. Service was superb. No, this place is not AYCE blah blah blah. But we were very full at the end and ended up spending about the same amount of money as an AYCE place. Worth read more

Some meals are nothing more than a means to get calories in your body... others, such as the lunch I had today at Szechuan Mansion Hotpot, are truly an experience of the senses and a challenge to the borders of flavor combinations. This is my first experience with a hot pot style of dining establishment, so please indulge a newb as he dives in with all tastebuds and tries to paint a picture of the method behind the appearance of madness. You are greeted upon walking in and asked if you are wanting the hot pot experience or simply ordering a kitchen meal for one or two. I decided to peruse all options and was handed an array of menus that were festooned with check boxes and filled on both of the laminated sides with meat options, veggie options, broth options, all from mild-mannered to crying in a fetal position spicy hot. The one that immediately caught my eye and attention was their Yin-Yang hotpot that is literally a split vessel containing hot and spicy broth on one side and a more mellow umame on the other side of the pot... best of both worlds... but I was solo this round and decided against an entire table full of food for a lunch. I will be returning with reinforcements for that one though... I was greeted by the server and given a water as well as a plate with long chopsticks, a split bowl of peanuts and pickled veggies, and given plenty of time to sort out my options. I decided on the beef bowl with a one-pepper spice and discussed the level of spice with the server. He asked how hot I like things and, when I said somewhere between jalapeno and habanero; he recommended the single pepper hot because it could always be made hotter if it wasn't spicy enough, but could not be made less spicy if I went a little too far. In hindsight; I should have opted for the two pepper spiciness as the one pepper was mild by my standards and could have used a little more kick. The rice was cooked perfectly, sticky enough to handle with the chopsticks and balanced the depth of flavors in the bowl... oh yeah... the endless bowl of everything, everywhere, all at once... it had cabbage, seaweed knots, mushrooms, potato, crab rolls, beef slices, onions, peanuts (note for those with nut allergies..), and a broth that you just wanted to slurp all day! Now, if that wasn't enough to satisfy your tastebuds; there is a DIY dip bar to the rear of the restaurant where you can literally craft your own dipping sauces from scratch, or from their guided menus above the various ingredients. Talk about a flavor explosion! All in all, two chopsticks way up and absolutely a great place to take a handful of friends or family for a truly unique food adventure! read more

Two of my friends and I came on a weekend afternoon for lunch. We didn't make a reservation and it was so crowded that we had to wait 50 minutes. We all ordered the beef combo, but I got mine mild spicy while they both got medium. I also mixed my own peanut sauce to dip the beef in. The portion was huge - I was able to bring some home. The dish was super flavorful and delicious - I would definitely get this dish again if I didn't want full blown hotpot. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely return! read more

Honestly, I've been to Szechuan Mansion more times than I can count. So many varieties of hot pot toppings & broths to choose from; the sauce bar is also comprehensive. They have a good amount of appetizers; next time I go, I want to try a dry pot as well. And of course, I love getting a mid-hot pot sweet treat with their fried mantou buns and condensed milk. Service is fast. Ambiance is nice & accommodating of large groups. Convenient location on Ninth Street with accessible parking across the street. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I can't believe they opened a location on 9th Street! Wish it was here before I graduated. Szechuan Mansion Hotpot is my favorite hot pot in the RTP area! It's not AYCE, but still pretty affordable, if comparing the price to out of state options like in California. This location is smaller than the Cary one, but it's perfect for both small and large groups. I'll definitely return whenever I'm in town! read more

About time a hot pot place opens up in Durham! It's a little smaller than the location in Cary, but just as clean, bright, & welcoming. It was about a 1 hr wait at 6 pm on a weekday, but understandable since it was their soft opening. Food was good, it's hard to go wrong with hot pot. Their sauce bar was well kept, and service was very fast and efficient once we were inside! Will definitely be back! read more

Where do I even begin? I love this place and will miss this place the most when I move back to my home state. This place has really great dry hot pot and their intestines and pork belly is SOOO good and umami. Something about their mala sauce makes me crave this. Their hot pot hits the spot so well too. Combo C with add ons is our go to. It may seem expenensive but when going with a large group, it evens out. The fried rice they give with the dry hot pot is SO SO yummy and it feels like fried rice that you had as a little kid because it's so home-style. I love the variety of sauces at their sauce station too. Don't be afraid to go overboard with your garlic, green onions, and cilantro. Get: -dry hot pot and make sure to get the wide glass noodles, some veg like tongho or spinach, intestines, pork belly, beef belly -hot pot combo C -fried rice read more

We are regulars at their Cary location and just started coming to this smaller location in Durham. The food is fantastic and so is the service. I'd say the two Szechuan Mansions are the highest quality meats of the hot pot places in town. Definitely recommend. read more

Great spot for the pot of hot. For the unfamiliar, it's make your own soup! Except it's not soup, you're just boiling meat or veggies until they're cooked and then you eat. You eat either straight from the broth or add some condiments to kick it up a notch. Bam! No condiments for me. Just get me that beef tallow broth, medium spice. Anything above that is a recipe for disaster, and when I say disaster I mean the toilet. Recommends...braised beef, pork liver (comes with an egg), shaved beef, all mushrooms, and the veggie platter. Skip the popcorn chicken and order another meat option. Our host forgot our order of pork belly and a cup of rice. Aside from that service was typical of your usual hot pot establishment. Ambiance is wonderful, especially in the Asian room lol, aka the backyard patio. Yumzy... read more

This was a fun experience that also tasted great! Our party of 4 did one of the combos and added on an extra appetizer. We tried the cucumber salad which was refreshing & the fried potatoes which were awesome! We ended up with plenty of food for our group and everything arrived quickly. The staff was friendly and attentive and answered all our newbie questions. The sauce bar was a great way to add flavor to the food, and there is even a sauce recipe cheat sheet posted to help you mix and match sauces. The only issue was the bathroom - there are only two single stall bathrooms and there isn't a convenient place to stand while you wait. I would definitely go back next time we're in town. It's nice to have something a little different from the standard restaurant. Enjoy! read more

This is legit hotpot. Absolutely delicious! I can't recommend this place enough. Everything is very fresh and vibrant. We used to drive to Cary for hotpot of this caliber but now we have one so much closer! The kale your own sauce bar is extremely good and well appointed. If you're afraid of spicy food don't be! They have mild and non spicy broth too! FYI the extra hot broth could actually make your lips go from burning to completely numb lol in the best way possible! read more

Atmosphere: Szechuan Mansion on 9th Street is surprisingly big with a bright, extended patio area in the back. Service: Our server was friendly and accommodating, helping us through the ordering process at our first visit at this location. Food: We got the Yin-yang pot, which comes with beef tallow mala broth and pork bone broth. The mini spicy level was still quite spicy! For the hotpot, we ordered sliced prime beef, sliced pork belly, enoki mushroom, spinach, pumpkin, and glass noodles. All the components tasted fresh and of good quality, though the meat quantities were a bit small. Overall: Szechuan Mansion is a convenient restaurant for hotpot in Durham, especially with it being on 9th Street. However, we felt that our meal was on the pricier side, especially because we've eaten AYCE hotpot at similar price points. We'd recommend Szechuan Mansion if you're in the area and don't want to trek out to Cary for your hotpot craving! read more

I've been here a few times already and will still be back! Szechuan Mansion Hotpot is a chain and I've been to their Cary location and enjoyed it. They do just as good of a job on their 9th street location, even though it is smaller. The quality of the food is still good and the menu looks the same. Similar to their other location, you order a la carte (or order a set combo) from the menu; it is not all you can eat. Also, be aware that there may be a bit of a wait during peak hours. read more

Fairly new and small spot! We went at lunch time, and it was fairly quiet and not busy. The self service sauce station had a good selection of sauces, and they gave us some peanuts for starters. The meat quality was decent: a little chewy but bearable. The only thing was that they didn't have cabbage available. What hot pot place doesn't have cabbage? Anyways, the soup itself had a pretty good flavor. The extra table on the side was bolted to the ground, which made it pretty cramped and hard to get food from the bottom shelves. Design flaw, I guess. It was a good meal, but honestly you can't go too wrong with hotpot. read more

We came here for my birthday last night and it was SO GOOD. We were a group of 5 and ordered the combination for 3-4 people. There are multiple types to choose from and a full range of al a carte items, as well. Add the dumpling appetizer!! These were so yummy. We also try the chicken in chili oil app (cold dish but really yummy). What I really liked about this hot pot was the variety on the sauce bar. The restaurant had a lot of different spices and sauces with recipes on what to mix to make certain "house sauces." The service was excellent too! Our broth was always full and our waters, too. Great pricing for our group. Will definitely come back! read more

Food was good. However, be aware that the waitress refused to split the check for our large group.

Delicious - just like the OG Cary location. We had a party of 6 and were seated at a square table booth in the corner. You order by marking what you want on a laminated menu. Appetizers come very quick - we got fried buns, lamb skewers, and popcorn chicken. Can't go wrong with any of these. The sliced meats are super fresh and priced reasonably - make sure not to overcook these in the pot. Since we didn't have enough table space the rest of the vegetables came on a cart! Make sure to try watercress and tong hao, these are leafy vegetables that pair perfectly with the soup base. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Very delicious! Enjoyed every bite! We had a great time and I'm still thinking about the food. Yum!

"Good Hot Pot on Ninth Street in Durham" I confess I'm not a huge fan of hot pot (or fondue) in general -- makes me feel like I'm the one putting in all the effort to fix a meal I've paid someone else for -- but I'd still come back here. It's not a large place, and it takes a while to eat, so good to come early. I came with my family on a Friday at 5:30pm, and there were only 2 tables left. We ordered their combination meal for 2-3, which came with up to two soup bases, an appetizer, three meats, a few other choice sides, and various vegetables. The customer orders the meal, mixes up some dipping sauces from the sauce station in the back (see photo), and then comes back, cooks, and enjoys. We were also given a small extra appetizer of peanuts and a few pickled vegetables that was yummy We had the crispy popcorn chicken appetizer. For the broths, we have beef tallow (mini-heat, pork-free) and chicken stock. We had lamb and chicken meats plus a seasoned beef tenderloin. Everything else was standard except one of us also got pumpkin as an add-on. The popcorn chicken was fine-- about what one would expect, and the seasoning on it was tasty without being too spicy. Although we got the "mini-heat" broth, we still pulled out the big seasoning block almost immediately, since the broth would've gotten a LOT more than mini-hot with that giant block in there: something to watch out for if you're not used to very hot-spicy foods. Still, the broth flavor was good. I especially liked the lamb, tofu, and broccoli, and I do wish they gave us a LOT more of the broccoli -- it was a very small helping of vegetables overall for what was supposed to be for 2-3 people. The "mix balls" that come with it (one beef, one shrimp) were fine-- certainly easy to cook, and tasted pretty good but nothing to write home about. I used the recipe to mix up a Beijing sesame sauce, and that was DELICIOUS... I think it'd have made anything taste wonderful. My least favorite was the beef tenderloin. I don't think I'd get it again-- no matter whether it was cooked long or short, it always came out somehow with an odd texture and not especially tasty. The service was attentive. We got good advice on the food overall as well as the process. He explained what everything was, how best to cook it, etc. He checked on us several times, and we got water refills or top-ups on broth quickly when asked. And the price was very reasonable. I think it came out to about $70 including tax and tip, which for 3 people and a quite nice meal & experience is very affordable. Overall, I liked this more than I thought I would. I suspect hot pot enthusiasts might even give it a 5, but I'll give it a still-very-positive 4-star rating. I'd come back, and I suspect I will. read more

Food was a 10/10!!!!! They brew their own iced tea & it was a 10/10! For appetizers we got the fried pork belly & it came w seasoning on the side 10/10! They also have a sauce station for appetizers w recipes of their own. The worker helped us w ours & it was a great pairing w the pork belly! We chose to have the yin-yang hot pot w the flavors "Original Bone Broth"(10/10) & "Beef Tallow Mala Hot Pot" in medium heat (7/10). Everything abt the original bone broth was amazing! The beef tallow mala broth was good just way too hot. The server did warn us abt the heat so our fault w that! In our hot pot we had sliced prime beef, shrimp, bokchoy, tofu, bamboo shoots, vermicelli noodles. The pricing is great! The interior was nice simple & one of the cleanest places I've eaten in!! The service was amazing. I 100% recommend! Pls like if you found this helpful! read more
