Hot Spot Nabe - City of New York

I absolutely love this place! I just wish the prices were a bit lower, or that they offered a punch card or something similar. I'm there every week!

After trying numerous hot pot restaurants, this one is undoubtedly at the top of my list. At first glance, the ambiance strikes a perfect balance between traditional and modern. We sampled the pork bone soup base, which was rich and flavorful, and I highly recommend the Hong Kong-style spicy chicken pot—it’s a must-try! As someone from Hong Kong, it was delightful to enjoy a cuisine that closely reminded me of home. My family also tried the nourishing chicken pot, and it was equally delicious. We especially loved the E noodle, fish skin, duck blood, and of course, the A5 Wagyu— it literally melts in your mouth! Their homemade herbal drink was refreshing, and during the hot summer, their watermelon slush was a huge hit! Despite it getting quite busy as the night went on, the servers remained attentive to us. Everything was fresh, and we all left feeling satisfied and full. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends!

I regret spending my time and money at this restaurant. The food was not clean and tasted terrible.

Absolutely delicious and awesome Chinese hot pot food!!! I highly recommend. Professional, courteous, and friendly customer service!!! The restaurant is safe, clean, organized, and well decorated!!!Parking: Street parking can be challenging!

Hot Spot Nabe has an interesting concept of hotpot.I came here on a Sunday around 2:30 PM.I ordered the Special Sauce Chicken, Hong Kong Style Chicken Pot, and hot pot items such as shrimp wonton, fatty beef platter, and vegetables. My friends and I ordered three bowls of rice along with our food.The Special Sauce Chicken is served as a cold dish. The Special Sauce Chicken is Hainanese chicken drizzled with spicy chili oil. The portion of the chicken seemed like a whole chicken. The portion was pretty big.The Hong Kong Style Chicken Pot came with a small portion of chicken. But, the chicken did have a lot of meat. The sauce base of the Hong Kong Style Chicken was soy sauce. The concept of hot pot in this dish is you eat the marinated chicken, and when you 're done eating the marinated chicken, the staff will pour hot water into the bowl and it becomes a hotpot. You then can start adding your hotpot veggies, meat, fish balls, and or wontons. There is a Con to this hotpot dish because after the staff pours hot water into the bowl to turn it into a hotpot, the grease from the chicken does stay therefore, the hotpot becomes oily.By the time we finished our meal, the rice did not come out yet. The staff asked us if we still wanted rice, but since we were all full we declined the offer.Overall, I would come here with my friends again.
