Reviews Summary
YK Hotpot offers a unique and interactive dining experience centered around customizable hot pot. Diners praise the fresh ingredients, friendly service, and the fun of cooking their own meals. However, some find the pricing a bit high and note the absence of a liquor license.
"The waitress is super friend. The foods came super fast. They offered to refill your broth if yours is too spicy or you ran out of broth. At the end of our meal, she asked if she could take a picture of us to post on the Instagram, and then she gave us both free ice cream. This has been one of the best hot pot place we've ever been to. Highly recommened"

"We really enjoyed our hot pots - a lot of flavour and fresh ingredients you cook yourself. I had the plain broth and took advantage of the spice bar. My partner's super spicy broth required none of that as it was potent enough to make both of us sweat. Overall a really fun experience I look forward to repeating!"

"Very friendly and tasty family-owned hot pot restaurant. At first I was suspicious because the review was not as good (for some reason only three stars), but I was glad that I gave it a try! I would recommend to order the spicy soup base with spice aside so you can choose how spicy you would like it to go. The fried white fish is a must try! Some people complaint that they cannot speak English, but their menu is in English and it’s very clear how to order! Their iPad menu is very user-friendly. As long as you have experience making online order, it’s the same - click the item you want and it goes to the shopping cart and show you the total of money you order. Most importantly, I lost my phone there with all of my cards and driver license inside, the owners helped me find it and were very understanding how panicky I was. Sincerely recommended!"
