XO POT & BOWL

They're so close! I love it! The garlic calamari was excellent, the soups were good and the kids really enjoyed the xo milk tea. Will def be back.

I really loved this place. So delicious but reasonable. Will definitely come back again!

It was ok. My suggestion would be this: if you charge $5.75 for 3 roe fish balls, please don’t cut them in halves…. The toes get lost in the broth.

We were so excited to have a hot pot restaurant near us! It was their soft opening so we decided to try it out.

We ordered:

1. Chicken wings (4 pieces for $9.50)

The wings had a nice crunch to it, but I think it kind of lacked some flavor. I wasn't sure if they were trying to make it more on the savory or sweet side? They were a decent size, but I do not think the price justifies the portion and taste.

2. XO House Beef Soup

The beef soup really flavorful, however the meat was pretty tough. I think it would make a huge difference if they found a more tender cut that's easier to chew.

3. Thai Hot Soup

This reminded me of Tom Yum! It had a mild sour taste to it, which I like, but if you prefer a more sour taste, it might seem a little underwhelming to you. This soup had pork slices (possibly frozen) in it which took a while to cook, but compared to the beef slices, it was more on the tender side. The flame went out pretty quickly and it was not strong or long enough to make my soup boil. I asked for more fire to cook it longer because the seafood and meat were not done cooking. Also, compared to Boiling Point, it lacked a lot of vegetables. I love veggies and I was kind of bummed that there were barely any.

Also, I think it's a bit absurd that 1 scoop of rice is $3.25. Rice or noodles should be included and optional, especially for the prices of the soup. Not everyone wants noodles, not everyone wants rice. Just my opinion. I think if that was considered, the $17-$20 hot pot would be worth the price.

They just opened so I know they are probably still working out the kinks. I definitely think this place has a lot of potential! We do plan to go back to try it again especially since it is nearby.

This place has the best decor and food!! Don’t even get get me started in there amazing egg rolls so crunchy and full of flavor!! All the food here is amazing I had a wonderful experience with my friends. I will definitely come again and I hope you will.
