My friends and I went here for celebrating my birthday! I was a little overwhelmed with the menu first because there were so many options. I had the combination of pork bone broth and tomato broth, and they were both great. We ordered like two sets of veggies and several kinds of beef cuts to add to the broth. Food tasted great and everything was fresh. One of my friends was running late, but I appreciated how the waiter was very accommodating and let the two of us who arrived first sit at a table while we waited for our other friend to arrive. Service was quick and professional, and it was really pleasant to be at the restaurant. I would love to return if I have another chance.
Yes, I am very late to the upscale hot pot party at The Dolar Shop. This popular spot is located at The Bravern and has been open since 10/18/18. I've had this bookmarked foreverrrrr, but finally had the opportunity to indulge for a leisurely lunch with family earlier today (6/6/26). Thankfully, the other three in our party had hot pot experience. I've only had shabu-shabu and malatang, once each time, today was my first hot pot culinary introduction. A family member had made reservations awhile back and this is strongly recommended as the check-in/reception area was packed by 1115 am. We were brought downstairs to our booth. Chilled lemon water was provided as each of us pondered our choices for our customized hot pots. After placing our orders via tablet, there were some snack items to peruse like chips, peanuts, edamame, and fresh fruit. Dipping sauces were prepped by our kind waitperson. There are also additional ones at the sauce bar to select from to further customize with your meal. I really liked the cucumber and Napa cabbage kimchee/kimchi as my accompaniment. Shortly thereafter our broths (tomato, spicy, creamy pork) were brought out, hot plates turned on. Platters of assorted vegies and greens, mushrooms, shrimp, quail eggs, lotus root, Spam slices, and tofu sheets, as well as, bowls of noodles and steamed rice were placed on our table. Nicely plated selected sliced meats were then brought out. We had selected wagyu beef, two sets of boneless beef short ribs, and lamb flap. As a newbie, I was overcooking my proteins, but eventually got the hang of it. This was my first meal of the day, so the portions brought out were generous and filling. The broths and water glasses were periodically refilled and waitstaff checking on us too. Likewise, one could have additional servings of noodles and rice. At the end, we were each provided with soft serve cones to cool and cleanse our palates. There is a time limit in order to turn the table over to be cleared for the next reservation. Also, make sure if parked in the underground lot, to bring your ticket along and have it validated at the check-in/reception stand. I'm glad I did this since our meal here and coffee/dessert at an adjacent site at The Bravern was four hours and saved myself from paying $18 - $21! An enjoyable, celebratory meal shared with family at The Dolar Shop!
My first experience with Chinese hot pot and the whole experience was solid. It is similar to other hot pot places but a little more upscale. You order everything à la cart. Quality of meats (beef, seafood, and chicken) and veggies are good with items you don't get at other places like beef artery, which is good. End of the meal they have a dessert bar and a solid soft serve ice cream cone Service is excellent. Very attentive staff.
Amazing place for some delicious personal pot hot pot!! Came here on a Friday night with some friends and was able to make a reservation easily online. The sauce bar is unlimited with some boiled peanuts, jellies, fruits, sauces, etc for you to build your own dipping sauces as well as snacks. Our server was amazing and incredibly accommodating with recommending healthy options for those of us with food restrictions! You're able to order whatever you want on the ipad and the uncooked items are family style whereas you can choose what broth you want for your own personal pot! The quality of food was delicious and the service was extremely fast! Would definitely be coming back soon!! Parking: Free with validation
Best hotpot in the area, definitely likely. Best value hotpot, definitely not. The Dolar Shop is not a cheap option but offers one of the more premium selections available. Easy parking which they validate, a nice mall to digest afterwards, and plenty of dessert and boba around. Plus a convenient location with the new 2 line link. Reserve through Yelp if possible because it's easy and convenient, they'll usually seat parties within 15 minutes of reservation time. Cozy inside, decent space between tables, and there's even a downstairs. Service is always wonderful, even though we had four servers during our visit as they rotated, we had an excellent experience with tons of attention. They forgot our enoki mushrooms but one quick wave down fixed it without hassle, so appreciate that. Paid about $100 per person each time, but we go a bit hard, could get away with $50-60 per person plus their tasty sauce and food bar. They don't explain the happy hour that well, but during happy hour they have set menus that include sauce bar and unlimited rice or noodles. Unfortunately, we didn't see it until after ordering so paid a bit extra. Pork bone broth is pretty average, a safe choice but nothing special over here. However, their tomato broth is one of the richest around, rich and umami. Luckily everyone gets their own pot which is essentially a cost per person, before ordering menu items. All the beef is so tasty, tender, and perfectly fatty. Great seafood (especially the shrimp paste / shrimp pate).
High prices but service that matches. Our servers explained the menu, made sauces for us at the table, and were attentive and friendly. The place is big and good for both casual and special occasion meals. Parking at the Bravern is validated. I got the lamb set menu, which with the happy hour prices, was reasonable. The portion size was filling too. The meat was fresh, and the veggie platter had good variety. The creamy broth and spicy broth I chose were tasty. The sauce and side bar was a bit lacking compared to other places but I don't really utilize these anyways. The part that's unique is that they have a jelly bar, but I was too full to try it
I had a bit of a mixed experience at The Dolar Shop. First off, the service and staff were excellent. They were incredibly attentive, professional, and made the entire dining experience smooth and welcoming. If I were rating based on hospitality alone, it would be a 5-star review without question. Regarding the food, it was good, but honestly, it felt like any other high-end hot pot spot. While the ingredients were fresh, I didn't find a "wow" factor that sets it apart from other competitors in the same price range. It's solid, reliable hot pot, but not necessarily groundbreaking.
It's been 5 years since I've been to the Dolar Shop and I won't wait that long again! Great service, high quality meat and veg paired with a personalized hot pot experience. What's not to like? They have great sets available during lunch where you can pick the type of meat (different types of beef, chicken, pork) and the type of soup base (pork, mushroom, spicy, etc.) The set also includes a nice platter of veggies + shrimp balls, imitation crab meat and spam. And don't forget the sauce bar, with random things like wonton chips, cantaloupe and M&Ms as well. They've also added a boba and jelly bar, likely to compete with the Hey Tea outlet next door. Service is attentive and efficient, offering to refill broth 3-4 times during dinner. And of course, remembering to offer ice cream at the end of our meal. I can't wait to bring my family back now that my kids are older.
Parking is part of the bravern - there's a machine at the front to validate for 6 hours. You shouldn't need 6 hours, but yeah. It's at the front, near the entrance. Sauce bar is dope, but they've cut back on snacks / desserts. The ordering is done on a tablet (I've only ever been here with a big group - like 10-14 people usually with a reservation). I did come here once with my wife, just the two of us, for dinner on a Friday night (no reservation). Highly recommend joining the waitlist well before you come here - the line was 36 line when I joined, and 42 long when I arrived. We did get seated after around 25 min, so it moves fast. I joined the waitlist via Yelp before we left (it was a 20 min drive), and the line did move before we got to the proverbial front, but it would have been very deflating if I joined the line "when I got here", so I'm glad Yelp is an option to join the line via the app, beforehand. For two people we ordered a decent clip of food, it came out to $200 after tax and "surcharge" (if you pay by debit or cash the 3% surcharge is removed). Some dishes are outrageously expensive (one of the beef platters was $37 on its own!), but at least there's some options for "multi person sets" (2, etc). There's a weird track like "untz untz untz" (dance club vibe?) - no lyrics, but it's very faint (not too loud). If you're sitting near the front, it's a bit cold if you're in the pathway towards the door. Service is sometimes slow and spotty - mostly because they have staff assigned to certain areas, and as those areas get saturated, some tables get inevitably neglected. For instance: despite the massive 40+ waitlist (you'd figure the priority is clearing tables and turning them over), it took us over 15 min to get and pay for the bill. Overall it's decent quality but it's quite expensive nowadays, and the portions have gotten noticeably smaller than when we used to come here previously.
It was good. The meat was okay, nothing really impressed me. The broth was decent, but for the creamy broth something, there was some kind of weird stuff like pig's organs that made me feel sick, it was so smelly and stinky. I liked the dessert bar tho, the jelly was good. But the price is kinda insane.
One of the best hotpot experiences I've been to. Service was top notch and food was so tasty and wish they would have a location in CA. I was happened to be in the area and got to try this place and it did not disappoint. I was there during happy hour and got the set menu plus a side of shrimp balls. Everything tasted fresh and perfect. Definitely recommend!
Food: 4.5/5 The quality of the meats, seafood, and veggies are all amazing. They have a wide selection for you to DIY sauce bar and a small dessert bar! Soups are wonderful, I especially like the creamy pork one. It's delicious and smooth. The ice cream cones at the end is a highlight! Only nit picky thing I'll note is that they don't have a large selection of veggies or seafood compared to other hotpot restaurants. Service: 5/5 Great service, server was very polite, nice, and made sure our soups were refilled in a timely manner. Ambiance: 5/5 They have seating on the ground level and downstairs. The ground level has windows, lots of artwork and lights, and has an open concept style. The downstairs seating area is walled off, separating dining spaces from each other (they have private large seating rooms too!). Overall: 5/5 Just a tip, I don't know if they always had this but I noticed they add a surcharge for credit card payments, if that bothers you bring cash or use a debit card :)
Overall: The Dolar Shop defines what a great hot pot experience is. Whether you are here by yourself or with a big group, want to eat a lot or a little, you will have a good time here. Food: The food here comes out quickly and is very fresh. Each set provides you with both plenty of meat and veggies, as well as unlimited rice or noodles. You will be satisfied one way or another by the time you finish your meal. The dessert and sauce bar include other snackable items to also help get your over the finish line. Service: The service was great! The waiters are very attentive and come quickly to help refill your broth or grab anything you might need. Ambiance: This is a lively sit-down environment. read more

Hi Brian,…
Such an awesome hot pot place. Was recommended by a local friend who stating this is the only place she'd like me try at Seattle. She was not wrong. We had dual broth: one spicy and one white. Both were nicely flavored but not overly salted. We all got the same beef combo. Beef were very tender with a quick cook in the broth. Veggies, shrimp and lunch meat were all fresh and went great with the broth. We added a plate of thin sliced lamb and additional tofu skins which were delicious too. They provided "Bing feng" a jelly typed dessert which you can add all kinds of toppings. Enjoyed that a lot as well. My picky teenager was happy too. Services were great. A bit pricey for sure but I'd consider worthy it! read more

Hi Jie,…
The Dolar Shop is high-end hot pot at its finest. For a party of four, my friends and I spent around $300--and that's without any drinks, just water. If you're looking to impress friends with a premium hot pot experience, this is the spot. But if you're hoping for something more budget-friendly, you'll want to look elsewhere. Service here is top-notch: servers stop by frequently to top off your broth, explain how to optimally cook items as they arrive at your table, and promptly clear empty plates. The attention to detail is impressive. I first visited The Dolar Shop in Vancouver, and this was my first time at the Bellevue location. While the Vancouver spot is tucked into a strip mall, this one is located inside a luxury shopping center with high-end fashion brands. Needless to say, the Dolar Shop at the Bellevue location was a lot more grand looking inside. From the sauce bar, to the quality of the proteins and broths, all the food here is top-notch. Make sure to save room for dessert as well. The included vanilla soft-serve cone at the end is a great way to wrap up your meal. If ice cream isn't your thing, there's also a DIY dessert bar across the sauce station with fruits and classic Asian toppings like red bean and boba. One thing that sets Dolar Shop apart is its individual hot pot setup: each person gets their own pot and chooses their broth ($9.99 per pot). It's great for groups who like variety, since everyone can try something different and share. There are plenty of protein options ranging from Kurobuta pork belly at $17.99 a plate, all the way to A5 Miyazaki wagyu, which comes in at a hefty $79.99 for a few slices. We opted for a few proteins in the middle range, and the standout for me was the beef tongue, which had great texture and cooked instantly. Another one of my favorite items I was glad to see here was the fried bean curd. In my opinion, fried bean curd is the perfect way to start -- or end, your meal because the bean curd is basically a sponge that soaks up all the flavors of the broth. All in all, if you're in the mood to splurge on a high-quality hot pot experience, The Dolar Shop delivers. read more

I've been going to Dolar Shops for many years, and this location didn't disappoint. The staff was really wonderful, and I loved how spacious the restaurant is. I'd say the vibes are upscale and every time I've been, it seemed like every table was occupied. Free parking with validation! As with all Dolar Shops, I personally like that each person gets their own hot pot, and that getting two half broths doesn't increase the price. The selection of meats and veggies isn't as diverse as other hot pot spots I've been to, but the quality of ingredients feels relatively high. Their signature banana egg pancake is yummy, and there's a huge variety of sauces you can combine to make your dipping sauce. The dessert jelly bar is a big plus, and the soft serve slapped as always. Just some personal notes: the wagyu didn't actually taste better to me than the regular beef, so I think I'd skip the wagyu the next time I go. I also think I'd err on getting less food to start with and ordering more later, because most times I end up struggling to finish what I order. read more

Our bill came with an extra 3% surcharge. We paid cash so not sure what this surcharge is for. And suggested tip is calculated on food and drink total plus tax plus surcharge. It's prudent to calculate tip on food and drink total only. This is annoying. read more

Hi Marguerite, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely…
We made a reservation, so there was no wait and our food came out fairly quickly! The restaurant has a lot of seating between their two levels as well. The staff was very attentive and kept our table clean throughout the dining experience. BTW I loved the set menu options! I think I underestimated how much food there would be, especially the meat. We ended up doing set menus and a handful of a la carte options. We also really enjoyed the fried tofu appetizer - light and crispy! read more

Hi Katie,…
Dolar shop is always really good. The happy hour deal was also really nice. It comes with meat and a plate of veggies. This is so filling and worth your money!! I like both the spicy and tomato broth. I love that it is individual and that you can pick two broths. The meat and veggies are all high quality. You also get an ice cream after and that really finishes the meal off strong. A must get! I definitely recommend this place!! read more

I ate and left no crumbs! I've been hearing about the Dolar Shop for years but I finally had the chance to try it yesterday. The hype was real. When I stepped into the restaurant, the interior was very fancy. It reminded me of Bellweather but more upscale. From the amazing service to the overall architecture, Dolar Shop clearly had a very high threshold in their customer experience. The interior gave me Chongqing, China cyperpunk vibes. The servers gave us a brief tour of the restaurant. Dolar Shop felt like a fancy aquarium with its prawns swimming in its tanks. They showed me the sauce bar and dessert bar, which felt like a fancy buffet as it has so many options. The most important part was the food, which 100% delivered. I personally got the pork and tomato broth as my soup base. For the meat, we got the Cru Beef Thick Cut, Cru Beef Thin Slices, and boneless beef plate. We also added the vegetable platter and hand-made noodles as well. This was a 5-star experience after a memorable hot-pot time with luxury comfort food. I do want to say this place is really expensive, but I'd argue it's worth your time and money. Try it out! read more

Probably the best hotpot experience you will find in the greater Seattle area. Prices are definitely high, but the luxurious atmosphere and overall experience justify the cost. From the stunning interior to the extensive traditional dessert bar, everything feels elevated. The servers are attentive and make sure you are well taken care of. To top it off, there's free soft serve at the end! I recommend ordering one of the set menus for a well-rounded meal, and definitely take advantage of happy hour (before 5 and after 9pm) when you get 20% off. read more

Hi Scotty,…
Fancy, great ambiance, high quality meats, broths, ingredients, great service. Always a pleasure to visit Dolar shop (so many times!), wish it could be more! But the costs can get prohibitive, especially with hotpot being one of my top 3 favorite things to eat. There is usually always a wait, put your name on the list (we always do it via Yelp) and more often then not, we get seated before the quoted time which is always a nice thing. The restaurant after all these years has been kept in great shape, it always feels like a fancy hotel ballroom or something and the unique tables, chairs, configurations is another thing that stands apart from other establishments. Contemporary, modern, chique. Always a great date, or to bring family and friends just for the ambiance. Love that you get your solo pot, everyone has different tastes and having solo pots allows everyone to get what they want! The meats are always good. But it is cost prohibitive if you go often...but we still do it! :) See you soon Dolar Shop! read more

Updated: They charge 3% if you use credit card/debit card. This is even worse. You already charge an insane price for food, and still charge POS fee? -------------------------------------------- Too expensive. We paid $30 for 7 slices of beef. Why don't just go Haidilao or other hot pot restaurants? I didn't see this restaurant has better quality of food, I don't mean that the food is bad, it's just insane that I paid $30 for 7 slices of beef, I understand the rent would be high here, but customers need a reasonable expensive price. I won't be back because the food with service is way overpriced. read more

HI Lu,…
- high end high quality ingredients, higher price too - Food: 4 stars Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Price: 3 stars Overall: 3.75 stars I'm not really a regular here since I've only dined here less than 10 times even though I lived in Bellevue for more than 10 years, but I'm satisfied every time I'm here. I had a dream about it the other day, so I was there on Sunday. It was quite empty at 11:30 am, and we got our seats quickly. We thought it was due to the Superbowl, but it was packed around noon. They have lunch sets, and it was happy hour so the a la carte items are 20% off if I remember correctly (other than alcohol and seafood). We got one ribeye beef and one lamb combo, and the ribeye only has 6 slices of meat, though they were large pieces. The veggie plates were also good, and it is actually quite a lot of food even though it doesn't look like it. Tbh I was quite full at the beginning since my husband doesn't eat mushrooms, and I took all of them and I was like 60% full from mushrooms. This place is more pricy but has higher end ingredients than other places. They also have an open kitchen in the middle to prep the seafood as well. Maybe it's just me, but everything I've ever eaten here is fresh (other places are like hit or miss for me). Like other places, Dolar also has their jelly bar now. I took my mom here and that was her favorite. The best part is that you don't really need to follow a formula, but you can make your own dessert bowl from it. For example, I ate tons of white dragon fruit that day. The best thing here is actually the soft serve in the waffle cone. It's weird that I like it the most from a hot pot place, but I think this finisher is unbeatable. I'm looking forward to my next visit here already! read more

Ambiance is good, quantity is good but as a vegetarian I didnt find this place great. For broth they have only one option for vegetarian which is just a tomato broth. Taste was just okayish. Vegetable platter had different types of mushrooms, spinach, napa cabbage, lotus root .. i had to mix different sauces in the broth so it tasted better. This place is good for non vegetarians. Staff is good and explains everything well. read more

One of my favorite hot pot places! Went to the one in NY and was so happy when I found they had one in Bellevue too. High quality meats, self-serve sauce bar, but what's best about Dolar Shop is the broth. Pricing wise is equivalent to Haidilao. Only thing I wish they had here was shrimp and fish paste. I don't recall seeing it on the menu but it's usually something I order. Otherwise, if you're looking for a fancier hot pot place to treat yourself, Dolar Shop is worth a try! read more

Hi Michelle,…
amazing!! i love a good hotpot. this is certainly popular hotpot spot for good reason. the waiter started off by explaining how to order as it was our first time and made the house sauce for us! you can make your own sauce for meats at the sauce bar. for the soup base i chose the half creamy and half tomato. my boyfriend tried the half spicy and half creamy. we both like the creamy and tomato soup base the best. for meats we ordered beef short and flatiron beef. i prefer the beef short as it's more fatty and cooks faster. with the seasonal sets you get unlimited rice and noodle. the veggie platter included was more than plenty. enjoyed the food and service on christmas eve!! will be back on another cold day:) read more

Hi Fumie,…
Ok while I'm not a hot pot lover, I'll say Dolar Shop has taken the prize for best hot pot in Seattle area. First, I recommend reservations - otherwise expect a wait. It's popular. Second, consider coming when they have lunch sets or special set meals. It's about $40-50 a person otherwise you're going to be spending over $100+. My review is for the sets - they are great and filling. Parking: they validate parking (at front desk) - should be good for 6 hours. Also a tip: park in the red parking garage - that's closest to the restaurant. Food: we went during a lunch set time period - I love the flatiron sets. Broth: I personally love the pork broth - I have tried the creamy pork and it wasn't to my liking because it had a deeper slightly meatier/perhaps gamier taste profile but some ppl may love it. Definitely try the Dolar shop sauce as the servers offer it to you. And have fun at the sauce bar trying your own concoction of sauces. Why I love this place is that the ingredients are top notch and delicious in the broth. All the beef they provide are of the highest quality and adds a bit of depth and fat to the broth. If you want to add anything more I recommend the shrimp paste (which already comes with the set but you can add more) Service: great - they are on it. Ambiance: very trendy and upscale. Spacious and beautiful inside. Bathroom is clean meaning the kitchen is clean. I'd recommend this place. It's high quality hot pot that tastes good and while it's not all you can eat, it's well balanced, generous in portion, and good! read more

Hi, Young!…
Located at the Bravern in Bellevue, this Hot Pot restaurant serves good quality meat (you see them slicing it in their "kitchen" situated in the middle of the dining area.) It's our first time and the menu can be overwhelming. There are 6 broth to choose from. Except for the Black Truffle Mushroom broth, you can choose two kinds of broth (they split your bowl into 2 sections). My companion had the Black Truffle Mushroom while I had the Spicy Broth & Tomato Broth. - The Dolar Shop Shrimp Pate $16.99 - this was a great find! So glad we tried this. It was very tasty! It seemed to go well with the Black Truffle Mushroom broth and Tomato broth. - Selected Beef and Lamb Platter $26.99 - The meat held up really well in the Spicy broth. - Assorted (vegetables) platter for two $16.99 - enoki mushrooms, napa cabbage, corn, and other vegetables I can't remember. These went well with the Black Truffle Mushroom and tomato broth. - Hand Crafted Noodles $6.99 - I liked this one cooked in the Tomato broth the best. For drinks, my companion had a couple of cocktails (sorry, can't remember which ones but was told they were good), and I ordered Fresh Watermelon Juice (pitcher). The Fresh Watermelon juice was delicious, and it tasted freshly squeezed/blended. In addition, you are welcome to their appetizer and dessert buffet. Plus they give you ice cream when you're done. We went there for my birthday and I got to spin a wheel for a prize. I got fried bean curd! LOL It was good, but I won't be ordering it anytime soon. Staff were friendly and our server checked in on us often. The place was busy, especially on a weeknight! Definitely highly recommend making reservations. read more

Pricey, but good. We came for dinner with a reservation but I don't think it was super necessary to have. This spot has impeccable service and the ambiance is fantastic -- definitely good for a special meal. You get your own individual soup pot here which is fun, and then choose the items you want. Sauce bar is automatically added but definitely get it as you get access to a bunch of sides too (kimchi, edamame, fruit, dessert). I got the creamy pork and tomato broth, and we got the beef and lamb plate, and platter assortment. This was just the right amount of food for us. The soup was great, and meat was good. I really really liked the dessert bar though! It's crystal jelly with toppings of your choice -- I loved the red bean and fermented sweet rice. Overall, I think it's really good quality hot pot and very yummy, but I'd probably only come back for their lunch combos next time. read more

Parking is super easy. It's also free but you do need validation. The garage is located in the building underneath. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is just steps away from the elevator door. Just remember to bring your parking ticket with you and… Read more
Do they have vegan broth? What are other options for vegans?
My friend is vegan and she makes her own vegan broth with plain water and items from the sauce bar! Adding additional items like seaweed knots will also enrich the flavor. Enjoy!
As this is not AYCE what is the policy if you are unable to finish the meat ordered? Are you able to take it home to cook?
You can cook it and take it home but not raw.
Is the Golden Broth currently available?
06/09/2021: It's not on their current menu. The silver broth is.

I have a soy sauce allergy, are the meats marinated in soy sauce?
Do not think so, some meats are marinated, but it states on the menu. Best to call and ask, they are quick to answer about allergies

Would this be a good restaurant for a date night, or only good for groups?
Great for date nite!
How allergy friendly is the place? I have a severe peanut and tree nut allergy, so trying to figure out if it'll be safe for me to eat here.
Most of our items contains no peanut and tree nut with the exception of friend peanut appetizer and the peanut sauce. Please let our server know so they can provide you with more information. Thank you!
How come your phone number doesn't work?
Well, they were on the phone all the time and they only have one line, I tried five times, the first four time was just busy line, but they did explain to me the reason why, that's understandable. I would suggest to avoid the rush hour to call them… Read more
