小锅兒 Lil' Pot

cozy place, wonderful service with tasty food. Been there several times. They have many species of desert u can order as well, it's so good.

Best Hot Pot restaurant I ever had.
I love hot pot, and tried many places and this one is definitely the best one by far. Love the beef and lamb they offer: just very fresh and juicy; beef has lots of marbling's and lamb slices are thick but still tender. I was so lucky today as the owner got some local lamb and brought us a plate to try, just feel like in heaven. Their broth is very tasty, you can tell it is real broth not the kind which are made with instant soup powder.
Great job, Will come back again.

Chose the regular menu for 2 people but still came out to be $80+. 60% of the beef slices we ordered had big areas that turned green and grey already, this shows that the beef was not fresh and had probably been in the fridge for weeks or were bought on sale from markets (because they were expiring). Food selection was alright but nothing impressive. While the staff did not provide us with water until we asked and did not inform us of where their dipping sauces could be obtained until we asked, they did ask my half-Asian boyfriend whether he knows what hotpot is, which is kind of shocking. That being said, service was quite quick and we were well attended to once we began eating.

Being from Richmond Vancouver, I’ve had my fair share of hot pot. I’ve tried every hot pot restaurant in Waterloo and this was the best hot pot I’ve had in my life. Everything was so delicious and the quality of the ingredients are on another level. We got the regular menu and ordered a plate of wagyu to try. It was so worth it. It was the most delicious hot pot meat I’ve ever had.

The service was awesome, the staff and wonder were so friendly. They made wonderful recommendations on what broth to order and the sauce combos. They also personally informed us of 17 ingredients available in the kitchen that were not on the menu yet including frog legs, beef balls, watercress etc.
