Alleyway Hot Pot

I found this place via google maps and decided to give it a shot. I had the Szechuan soup (medium spice level). The food had amazing flavor, the portions were huge, and the spice level perfect! I really loved this place because the flavor in the food came from the condiments themselves. In Los Angeles, I tend to go to Boiling Point for the soup. The spice level at Boiling Point seems to come from a paste vs. the actual red dry chili peppers they add to the soup at Alleway. The restaurant has its own unique style and it has a modern feel to it. The customer service is excellent to say the least. This place is a must if you are in Vegas.

The place is all right. The restaurant was not busy when I went. Therefore, my party was seated promptly. For this visit, I ordered the mild tonkotsu. It tasted all right and could improve. The broth is very bland and the meat proportion was little. However, I did enjoy the fish cake. When it came to service, our server was good. Since I did have a party of 5, they included a 18% gratuity fee.

The food was good, the service was fine and the overall restaurant had a cool vibe. So far as taste goes, it was some of the better hot pot I've experienced but sadly, there were a couple of annoyances that kind of overrode the overall quality of the experience. I doubt my wife will eat there again but to be fair, this kind of stuff is hit and miss for her in general. So for me, I DO NOT like mushrooms...AT ALL. Pretty much anywhere I've ever eaten, I can ask to have mushrooms not added to my dish. Many people love mushrooms but just as many, if not more, don't care for them. Not so at this place. They said the mushrooms where there and couldn't be removed. Why? Why not add them at the end? They assured me that they were large and would be easy to pick out. This was not true. These albino mushrooms were the same color as noodles and about the size of them as well. This killed a lot of my enjoyment of the dish. Additionally, I understand that it's "hot" pot but I don't understand why it had to be scalding hot. The other hot pot places I've eaten, the diner has some control of the temp Not so here. We had to wait for the flames to go out to get it to cool down and we all burned our mouths. Finally, I will always dock at least one star if your only drink option is pay-by-the can soda. To sum it up, I will probably eat there again because it did taste good. I enjoyed my wife's soup that did not have mushrooms far more than I liked mine and I ate all her leftovers. I offer this as constructive criticism because I hope these guys are successful but I want my future dining experiences there to be better

Tried hot pot for the first time today at Alleyway. Ate the Tonkotsu. Friend tried the Orange Chicken. Both were delicious. The service was great. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu in the near future.

The noodle is good. The rice is tasty. Get the upgrade rice. You feel like if you are walking in to a video arcade game in this restaurant.

This was a last minute spontaneous spot that I just looked up on Yelp, this wasn't on my list of places. I was craving hot pot and this really hit the spot. It was nicely decorated as if you were in another country eating. The hot pot options were good, I needed something that had a lot of variety of meats and veggies. I got the Tom Yum broth because you can never go wrong with that flavor. This place was small and service was good. Very simple menu and it was yummy.

I love the concept of individual portions for hotpot! I ordered the sukiyaki and it was a great way to warm up my belly as Vegas has been having rainy/cold weather. The passionfruit green tea is a great drink, I highly recommend it. Staff here were friendly too, the waiter gave us a different table as we were originally seated by the entrance and it was cold. The food came quick as well.

Taiwanese personal hot pot that comes preset and already cooked, so no guesswork. I tried the Cracken (fried squid) appetizer and Sukiyaki hot pot, and both were really tasty and filling. Their mango pomelo sago dessert is a refreshing way to end the meal. They tend to run out, so make sure to order dessert first!
