"Hometown Hot Pot has both hot pot and barbecue—but we mostly come to this Chinatown staple for the hot pot. It's about $38 per person ($48 if you also want to bbq), and that gets you unlimited meat, veggies, starches, and broth. If that sounds like a good deal, that’s because it is—and you aren’t the only one who knows it. This place is massive with two floors, but it still gets busy. If you’re with a group of six or more, call ahead for a reservation." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
"Hometown Hot Pot has both hot pot and barbecue—but mostly we come to this Chinatown staple for the hot pot. Just hot pot is about $38 per person ($48 for both), and that gets you unlimited meat, veggies, starches, and broth. If that sounds like a good deal, that’s because it is—and you aren’t the only one who knows it. This place is actually massive (with two floors), but it still gets busy. If you’re with a group of six or more, call ahead for a reservation." - Bryan Kim
"Hometown Hotpot does double duty on this list. At this two-floor Chinatown spot, you can not only get hot pot with unlimited lamb and shrimp ($38), or bulgogi-fueled Korean BBQ ($42), but you can also combine the two for $48. Beers start at $5, and once you add in the fact that kids under 4 1/2 feet tall eat for half-price, Hometown Hotpot is a no-brainer for a celebration with a big group, or an extremely fun dinner. They have an additional ace up their sleeve for birthday parties: show up within three days of your birthday and your food is free, provided you show ID and come with at least six people." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim
"Hometown Hot Pot is an ideal place for a fun, big-group dinner when you want to know exactly how much you’ll spend and be certain of the fact that no one will leave hungry. It’s an all-you-can-eat hot pot place (that also does barbecue), and it’s an attractive space, with big round tables that can fit groups of 12. There are some very good broths (like ma la, curry, and tom yum), and the ingredients are high quality. Get a lot of beef to throw in your hot pot, and make a reservation if you’re eating with six or more people. This place gets busy." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Hillary Reinsberg, Matt Tervooren, Carina Finn Koeppicus
"Like 99 Favor Taste, rely on Hometown Hot Pot & BBQ on Grand Street whenever you want to eat an unconscionable amount of hot, broth-dipped meat and seafood amongst NYC’s outdoor natural habitat. A meal here will cost roughly $30 per person, and there’s also the option to go for the hot pot and Korean BBQ combo for an extra $7. Hometown has a couple of Thai-influenced broths available like tom yum and curry (you can try a couple by getting the trio broth bowl), as well as special items like stuffed lotus root that’s included in the AYCE price." - hannah albertine
