Hotpot Alley

Good value, high quality hotpot. The condiment bar is great, and they have plenty of togo containers for leftover broth or extra meats/veg/noodles you end up with.

Delicious. I ate so much. There are not many hot pot places in Austin that do it right. In fact, this is the only one that I know of that's currently in operation. I liked Little Sheep but they closed awhile back unfortunately. Dip Dip is ridiculously overpriced and a huge disappointment that will leave you feeling hungry and over $200 short. The only thing I would recommend is adding some mushrooms and maybe squid to the menu but they just opened, so I'm sure there will be some changes here and there in the future.

Edit: Second time I went, they had mushrooms. Also for those saying they can just buy the ingredients from H Mart and make it at home -- do it then lol. Oh that's right. You came here because of the convenience.

We went during Sunday afternoon for lunch. Friendly and fast service. Clean. I think the website makes it pretty clear it’s CURRENTLY A SOFT OPENING. Obviously there’s a limited selection but enough to be very full and satisfied. We chose the half and half broth and it was delicious. They refilled the broth quickly. Sauce bar was pretty full of the typical condiments. It is a la carte not AYCE.

Yes, pricier then AYCE hot pot you’d find in Dallas or Houston or what use to be our beloved Little Sheep in Austin. Minus one star for the cost. However, for being the only open hot pot place of its kind in Austin right now people are trippin over dumb things.

Multiple people mentioning going to H mart to buy ingredients and make it themselves 😂. If you’ve ever tried to make it at home you should know how much time it takes and as if you’re really saving money buying all those ingredients and spending time making the thing. You and I both know you don’t even know what to do with the leftovers and it ends up in the 🗑🤦🏻‍♀️.

Stop being overly critical right off the bat. These folks are trying and doing just fine. Hope they can expand their selection soon!

Noodles were amazing! Great flavors, friendly customer service. Definitely recommend!

Definitely recommend this place, great food and reasonably priced! It’s an interesting Chinese dinning experience which combines clay pot and hot pot. We ordered chicken pot. chicken are very tender and tasted good. You can order some dishes for the hotpot after finishing chicken. Hotpot part made the experience even better. My kids really love the pineapple shaved ice.
