This is my favorite hot pot place in Chicago!! It’s a low key spot that offers hot pot AND a full Chinese restaurant menu. I have been to Haidilao and Happy Lamb but always prefer YY’s Hot Pot as there is little to no wait time. The young ladies greet and serve you immediately when you get there.The price for all you can eat is about $30 with taxes per person. You can bring your own drinks and best of all they don’t charge a fee for it like other restaurants.Since this is my favorite place, I come here at least once a week. I always get the best of both worlds broth, which is half spicy and half regular broth. Although my favorite is the spicy.There’s a cart near the back of the back of the restaurant where you can find peanut butter, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili sauce, and another unknown to me sauce. You can make the perfect dipping sauce! Make sure to grab a clean plate from the sauce cart to put your cooked noodles or veggies in (to avoid overcooking in the broth).The service here is great. The young ladies come by and clear the table when you have empty plates and immediately bring you a menu when needed.Overall, this place is amazing! I would definitely recommend it to everyone I know!
It was our first time coming to this place . Is small and outdated...food was good. However I did not like that our waitress did not speak a word of English. That made our visit quiet difficult because we weren't familiar and we were not able to ask questions about the menu and options as first time comers. It supposedly say is $26.00! Per person all you can eat Hot pot but if you have some left over broth they want to charge you again. Which dosent make sense since you are already paying for your pot . Also they really don't offer Any beverages not even water unless you ask for it .Maybe they just really someone to speak English.
Lovely hot pot spot. The service was extremely friendly. There was no wait for this tasty AYCE hotpot. Spent about 30 bucks between 4 people for 2 soups. They have a sauce cart to spice things up in your own way. Will definitely be returning!
Delicious all you can eat hot pot. We got the best of both worlds (spicy and regular bone broth) and both were great. Good proportion sizes and they were attentive at refiling our additional requests.
Wow wow wow!!! Excellent service and the food is just exceptional ?. You have to stop by and eat here. I'm from Chicago originally but live in Texas. My partner and I came to explore around and we just had to stop by to eat here.If you are looking for some real good Chinese food stop by and eat here, you will not regret it.
I was a little hesitant when I saw the interior, but must say the hot pot was amazing. The broth, veggies, meats were all incredible. We took the extra broth to go even ?
Tried for first time. Ordered shrimp lobster sauce, shrimp lo mein, and Mongolian beef. Shrimp lobster sauce was in a white sauce which I have never seen before. Had zero taste. Really blah. Lo mein was the same. Not much taste. Mongolian beef..... Where's the beef???? Couple little chewy pieces. Really disappointed since the place is right by our house.
Beautifully delicious!!
Really fast service, almost a language barrier with the staff but they are so patient, food was great overall
This place was very delicious. All the meat cooks very nicely in the broth. Give them a few seconds and bam great meat.I would order some vegetables to soak in the broth, to give it flavor, but not to much, the meat is really the star of the show.They didn't have a "drink menu" so it made it difficult to know what to choose as they just pointed to the front desk and said, this is what we have. It's also BYOB, so bring something with if you want to have a nice drink as you eat.The things to watch out for is the quail egg, they aren't good and really taste over cooked and rubbery. Tofu gets soggy in the soup pretty fast, we regret not getting the fried tofu. Imitation crab meat was as expected, it's best not to have with the soup.Things to get, fatty beef, the fat melts and the meat flavor comes out. Pork was pretty good. All the thick vegetables like mushrooms. Glass noodles was also great, but don't get more than 1 eat time, otherwise it will sit to long in the soup and becomes soggy and fall apart.Also all the milk tea were excellent, just a bit pricey for a single serve.
