Hot pot place located in Ktown. Has all the general hot pot meats veggies and noodles. Overall decent, would come back for another meal. But not as good as Chongqing Lao Zao in Flushing. This place is not too busy, and the staff are friendly. read more

Xiang La Hot Pot - hot pot spread (beef and tomato broth) - Hot Pot Near Me - New York, New York

We went to Xiang La Hot Pot right when they opened on a Monday and were seated immediately. The restaurant is surprisingly big, clean, and comfortable. The meat quality was pretty decent, and the service was fast throughout our meal. We came during the Ace Hot Pot promotion when it had just launched, but the staff seemed a little confused about the pricing and timing details, which made things a bit unclear. There's a self-serve sauce bar, but keep in mind it's an extra $3 per person. The selection was also more limited than I expected, and they had forgotten to put out soy sauce when we visited. The sides and dessert options were pretty minimal as well. I tried the ice cream and it tasted a little off. Overall, it's a good option if you're looking for affordable hot pot in the city. The food was solid for the price, but with so many hot pot spots in NYC, I don't think it's somewhere I'd personally go out of my way to return to. read more

The $19 lunches special is a very good deal!! It comes with a few vegetables and a plate of very good quality meat. The broth is also super flavorful and there is not added cost for the sauce bar like at some other places. For a couple extra dollars, you can also get more meat or food with the lunch. I got the green chili broth but next time I would definitely try their spicy broth! I would only say that the portion is very good for someone on the smaller side but if you eat a lot, you will probably be hungry still after. The location is a bit hard to find because it's not street level, but once you get there, it's very modern and clean. You order on a tablet and they bring the food to your table. Definitely worth the lunch price. read more

Xiang La Hot Pot in Koreatown was such an awesome hot pot experience to do with my friends! The place is so big and clean, especially their nice sauce station and ice cream section. They do à la carte style hot pot so you order everything you want off their pad at the table and you can do 4 broths like we did! I loved the spicy broth and the tomato broth. The flavors of the soup really added to the ingredients being cooked. The meat and seafood quality was very good! Once we placed our order, everything came out in under 10 minutes. read more

My friend and I have enjoyed the lunch special a few times. It is filling, fresh and delicious. The portion is generous, especially for lunch. The service is attentive. It is spacious and food display is nice. Great choices of sauces and stuff for dipping. They are able to accommodate a large groups. read more

came here for Mothers Day and had a really great experience. The hotpot was flavorful, fresh, and super fun to customize with a wide variety of meats, seafood, broths, and unlimited add-ons. It wasn't overly busy, which made the experience even better and more relaxed. I honestly feel like more people need to know about this spot it's kind of easy to miss, but definitely worth finding. Service was quick and everything came out smoothly. Overall, a great place for a comfortable, satisfying hotpot meal in K-town. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Went for the lunch special and it was amazing. A great hidden gem. The beef hotpot w mushroom broth, was delicious. A very chill vibe and totally enjoyable. An extra perk is the free coffee, ice cream, and slushies. Everything tasted so good and despite the very generous amount, I only had a little left to take home.Definitely check this place out. read more

Solid hot pot and not my favorite however, the meat quality was all pretty good. Something that's stuck out to me about this place as they had a slushy machine and it was really good to mix drinks in. They also have hair ties at the unlimited sauce bar so that was really good. read more

I saw this spot on Tiktok for its $19 lunch deal and had to check it out. Located in K-town, it's a great, affordable, and convenient spot to grab a bite with friends. When I went during lunch on a weekday, there was plenty of space and it was super clean. Service was very quick and attentive. My friend and I both did their beef and seafood hot pot lunch special and it was delicious. The quality of all the ingredients was great and the broths were delicious. The portion was actually a lot bigger than expected and I was stuffed by the end (neither my friend or I finished our food). Would definitely recommend their lunch special and I would love to come back. read more

Here's the revised Google and Yelp review: The bipolar NYC weather had me craving something warm and comforting and Xiang La Hot Pot in Koreatown delivered in the best way possible They specialize in Sichuan style hot pot and one of the standout features is being able to have 4 different broths in one pot. We went with the spicy jasmine, mala, tomato and mushroom broth. Fair warning, they are not kidding about the spice level, the spicy jasmine and mala broths are seriously intense, especially once the cabbage and tofu start absorbing all that heat. My personal favorites ended up being the mushroom and tomato broths which were rich, comforting and incredibly flavorful The menu has a great variety of options including meats, vegetables and cooked dishes like the spicy mala rice cakes, Chinese bbq skewers and fried spring rolls. Standout picks for me were the shrimp paste balls, beef slices and lamb for protein, and mushrooms, cabbage and lotus roots for vegetables The sauce bar is a highlight on its own, with so many combinations to create your perfect dipping sauce. The complimentary unlimited fruit including sliced oranges, honeydew melon and salted peanuts is a really nice touch, and the free soft serve ice cream at the end, including a yogurt vanilla flavor that tastes just like Asian yogurt drinks, is the perfect way to cool down after all that spice The $19 lunch special is an incredible value and with hours running until midnight on weekdays and 2am on weekends this is a great spot any time of day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid and affordable hot pot experience in NYC read more

The hot pot game is strong with this one.... As I've previously noted, Midtown Manhattan is now saturated with authentic hot pot restaurants. You can't throw a stone without hitting some pork bone (see what I did there)? Where soulless corporate suits decreased, steaming bowls of mala oil increased. And I'm here for it. The latest on the soupy train is Xiang La. Don't let the second floor K-Town location fool you. This place is as legit as it comes, from the umami goji-infused Pork Bone Broth to the tingly anise-saturated Mala Broth we yin-yanged. The ingredients were as fresh and well-cut as you could want, and unlike some competitors, Xiang La offers plenty of dark leafy greens to satisfy your fibrous tooth. The meat and seafood were similarly pleasing (though less fibrous), with none of that Wagyu mark-up that makes me roll my eyes. Perhaps best of all, they don't charge for their sauce bar....and their sauce bar includes SACHA SAUCE (a must for Taiwanese hot pot lovers)! Plus, they're savvy enough to take advantage of their choice location with late-night offerings like $39 AYCE hot pot after 11pm and discounted alcohol. Let's be real, if you've just danced and drunk your face off at Mission or whatever, what sounds more delicious than a rich, savory bowl of DIY soup? read more

I had a chance to stop by this new spot in k-town next to h-mart. It's located on the 2nd floor in the building next door where you can either walk up or use the elevator to get there. The inside is brand new and felt super clean including the bathrooms. There was no wait on a Saturday night and the staff were all super friendly. For broths we chose the special handmade beef oil broth (spicy) and the pork bone broth. For food, we had the Wagyu chuck roll, New Zealand lamb roll, Crown Daisy (highly recommend), pumpkin, and Chinese yam. They also have a nice sauce station which includes free slushies! They had Grape and Mango flavors which were really nice on the side with the spicy food! It's definitely on the medium to higher end for hotpot price but the quality of the food seemed good enough to match the price. read more

Tried Xiang La Hotpot in ktown and it hit the spot. The soup bases were so good, rich and flavorful, exactly what you want when you're craving comfort. I love that they offer lunch and late-night dinner sets at such a good price! Everything was satisfying & they have great quality meats. Also, they offer complimentary ice cream as well. Definitely one of those spots you can keep going back to! read more

Decent hot pot spot in an unassuming 2nd floor location. Good ambiance, ample seating even for larger groups. Meat selection was alright (got the post 9pm wagyu set), cubes are an interesting choice for hot pot. Would have appreciated more variety in the set (mainly mushrooms and a few selection of greens). Sauce bar also did not have the largest selection, but covered the basics. read more

Came here at the end of December because of their advertised lunch special for $19. The pop up banner on the homepage of their website clearly says it's available until 3pm. (I took a screenshot today in January 2026 to show that their website still says this). I arrived at 2:10pm. This place is located on the second floor of a building. There's stairs and elevator access. Things were not great upon first arrival. There was a long line of people waiting to be seated and the workers didn't seem to be very phased at that and were slowly making their way around to seat people. I finally got seated all the way in the back corner away from everything and was handed the tablet to order. I start scrolling up and down and through all the menu tabs looking for the $19 deal. I even looked around and saw sandwich boards advertising the deal. I tapped on the "call for help" button as I didn't see any staff around to wave down (or they were all far in the other side of the restaurant anyway) and waited. No one came so I pushed the call button again and it said that I already pushed it and can repush after 5 min. I sat there patiently waiting. No one ever came after 5 min so I pushed it again and waited. I eventually got up and flagged down a worker and asked about the lunch special and that I can't find it on the tablet. He then just said we don't have it, it's done. I ask but isn't it until 3pm? And he just tells me no. I then show him the website on the phone (not a screenshot, but the actual website on my phone browser) and pointed to the pop up banner. He tells me the website is wrong and walks away. I'm speechless and follow up and tell him to please cancel my check as I no longer want to dine. Terrible experience. read more

This review is for the lunch deal, which is very good value. It's $19 for a set menu with your choice of soup base. I chose the green chili soup base and the beef set. The green chili soup base was flavorful and different from my usual choice of mala. For the beef set, it came with two types of beef, mushrooms, cabbage, greens, noodles, corn, and fried tofu rolls. By the end of my meal, I was completely full and my friend couldn't even finish their noodles. The sauce bar is well maintained and while they do not have as many appetizer options as other places (when I went it was only mala peanuts and cabbage), they do have oranges/honeydew + free grape/mango slushie. I was impressed by the honeydew, which was pretty sweet. Service was fast and quick to respond when requesting items or more water. They also came by with more napkins as I made a mess. We arrived at around 11:40 am on a weekend and there were only a couple of other tables. However, by the time we left at 1 pm almost all of the tables were full. Definitely recommend checking this spot out if you want a hotpot fix! read more

The space is very cute, big bright window seating as well as solo seaters. A nice addition to the area. As a small group we had the lunch special and a mala pot to share. The presentation was lovely and the service was attentive. I will mention there was an issue with our order and do recommend you read your order details to be certain of extra food listed within the lunch special itemization. The team member was kind to remedy after some back and forth but it did add a layer of frustration before we began eating. I really liked the mushroom broth. They have a few broth options for non pork eaters as well. Just ask! I really really enjoyed the mala / dry pot. Overall it was a lot of food for three people. read more

A new hotpot spot that opened in ktown! They have $20 hotpot set lunch special that has enough meat and veggies for 2 people. They also have $16 dry pot lunch specials. The interior is big and the sauce bar had a nice variety. There's also complimentary mango/grape slushie (too sweet for me) and fruits. I also appreciated that they have a tablet to order off of. I docked off a point for the service. The lunch special is everyday from 11 am - 2 pm and we came at 1 pm on a Thursday. However our waiter told us the lunch special ended early today and that we couldn't order it even though there were other people clearly ordering it. Eventually we asked another waiter who confirmed it was still happening. Not sure if they were understaffed, but the rice also took about 30 minutes to come out even though we asked about it 3 times. read more

Great experience when I stopped by for lunch. I saw the $20 combo on Instagram and it did not disappoint. We tried one meat, one combo and one seafood. They all came with some veggies, mushrooms and noodles. We tried the pork broth, mushroom broth and mild spicy broth, which was still really spicy. The food was fresh and the service was quick. read more

I visited Xiang La Hot Pot today and the food, service and atmosphere were all exceptional. The staff is very kind and checked up on me several times to make sure that everything was fine. I had Marinated Tender Beef, Vegetable Combo and Handmade Noodles which was very delicious. They also have free ice cream for dessert and a Mango or Grape slush as a drink to enjoy as well. The food was so good that it hit the spot! If you are in the area, then I highly recommend this place to eat, drink and have a very nice time! :) read more

We really loved the concept of the restaurant and the approach and the ordering style, but unfortunately, the quality and flavor just didn't match it.

It's unfortunate, but the experience was fun to try! read more

A colleague picked this place because we are always craving the comfort of hot pot and we're in the neighborhood. Wow! I was so impressed! I never realized there was a hot pot place smack in ktown. I later realize that was because they were in soft opening phase. The restaurant is close to Hmart so super convenient and is located on the 2nd floor. Pretty easy to get to / find. Once we got there, we both ordered the beef lunch special which came with 2 types of beef - regular and fatty beef. It was served in this beautiful carrier that reminded me of Afternoon Tea in London. The top layer had the protein and the bottom had veggies, beautiful greens, tofu and healthy amount of fresh noodles. I hate greens but they were so clean and fresh that you can see I ate all of it. Crazy thing was this beef set was $19. There is also a seafood offering, veggie offering and a combo beef/seafood offering. The noodles surprised me as I normally don't eat hot pot with noodles but I really liked it! It made a delicious spicy noodle soup that rounded out a great lunch. There was also a sauce bar that came with peanuts, chips to snack on as well as a variety of sauces (which is my obsession). This place understands the key to hot pot is not just fresh ingredients but the SAUCE offerings!! I'm bummed I didn't get to try the mango slushie dessert but I forgot. Anyways great place, excellent service with a really nice staff, and reasonably priced food (in this economy in nyc?? Unheard of!). Definitely recommend. Oh, and don't forget to tip. Everyone's trying to make a living and these guys are just starting out. Be kind and eat hot pot! read more

I came here this Monday, was interested because I saw this place online and looked popular, everything about this place was pleasant until we tried the broth , we got medium spicy so it shouldn't even be that bad , it BURNS, no flavor just burning. On top of that after me and my partner left about 30 minutes after we started feeling horrible, we both had gotten severe food poisoning from this place, vomiting/diarrhea all of that for days. I'm typing this as I'm still ill, it costs $100+ so you'd think everything would be good quality and safe to eat. read more

This was my first hotpot experience, and I loved it! I came here for their lunch special for $18, and it was 100% worth it. The portions are very generous and the service is attentive. The sauce bar had kimchi which definitely had a spice, but was incredibly refreshing. Although, the mango slush that was available was a bit overly sweet. Overall, I reccomend coming for the lunch special and you will not be disappointed! read more

The hotpot broth had no flavor at all -- it felt like something made just to fool tourists. Service was also disappointing. They never informed customers about their lunch special when we were there.After we placed our order, with no dishes served yet, they still refused to let us change it. This isn't a regular restaurant where food is already in cooking; it's a hotpot place with no real prep or cooking cost before ingredients reach the table. Yet they did not allow us to change order, which is ridiculous. To make things worse, we hadn't even finished eating when the staff came over and turned off the at our table. Overall, a very poor experience. Not recommended. read more

The meat was good, however the hotpot flavors were meh and did not have much flavor. They tasted very watered down. I personally would have liked to have less broth but more flavor instead of more broth with less flavor. The overall vibe, ambiance, and service was good. I just think that the food could be better and more flavorful. read more

Everything was terrible. First entered, had us standing for minutes and told us to register to wait list on kiosk, kiosk was not working, and no worker was there. when seated, the seat was dirty with splashes of sauce on them, but not worker was around to clean that, I had to clean. Second, we ordered, and had to wait 15 minutes, the foods came out but no soup base, and another 15 minutes for the soup base. We pressed the call bell few times but ignored. Third, the food wasn't even good. how can a hot pot base taste bad? Overall worst service, wasted our time and money. How dare they ask for tip. read more
