Liuyishou Hotpot(Chicago) 刘一手火锅 (芝加哥)

I visited this place on 08/03/2025 my son treated me here and this was my 1st time having hot pot but he has gone to numerous locations for hot pot but this was his 1st time here as well. When i enetered into the place the outside looks a bit shabby but once you get inside it's pretty nice. Upon entrance we were greeted but not very politely the waiter was not very friendly at first and that was not at all how I wanted my 1st experience to be. As time passed the waiter got more comfortable and i was glad there was no need to act so stern, we ordered a lot I had no idea how much food you get and it is all you can eat I will allow the pictures to speak for themself. The broth was beef and the other chicken it wasn't very flavorful next time I'll bring in a few of my own seasonings from home to help kick it up a notch 😂. It's pretty clean on the inside i do suggest keeping the sauce area a bit more clean customers are serving them selves and definitely made a mess. The women's rest room wasn't very tidy at all I would auggest peiodically checking in on it from time to time to keep up with cleaniness over all it was a good 1st experience and i would definitely go back again the waiter offered a few suggestions for when we return i thought that was nice. The female waitress stoo guard at the entrance area where you dine the whole time as if she was the police like literally as if she was in the military like loosen up life is too short and she wasn't friendly at all. However the overall experience was good I can see myself returning.

We got coconut pudding as a birthday gift. It was marvelous! The server was also very nice! We also love homemade milk pudding. It was the highlight of our meal here. We ate more than 3 cups and we would definitely go back for it!

Absolutely delicious; everything was fresh. The recommendations for sauce making are helpful. This place is not to be missed. We had the spicy base and the chicken base soups. The chicken, sole and spicy beef meats. The fresh noodles were lovely and instant as well. The spice selection is top tier.

I’ve been coming to this hot pot restaurant almost every week because my son really enjoys it. On the days we can’t dine in, I even order through Uber Eats. They offer a wide variety of fresh ingredients, and the quality is consistently excellent. The service is always attentive and friendly, which makes every visit a great experience.

Brought my son here for his 8th grade graduation dinner. For his first time, he loved it. We did the hot pot. Our waiter was very helpful. The food was delicious, service was great, and the cocktails were amazing.

It’s so delightful here! First time here and was blown away by the quality, taste, and service. Usually you have to sacrifice one factor but surprisingly this hotpot place has all 3. Drinks are also included in the $35 AYCE price and love their side dishes and desserts. Usually other places have the typical salads and such but they have fried donuts, sesame balls, milk pudding and other unique dishes as well. Eric took care of our table and was very hospitable! Thank you so much ☺️

My friends and I have come here periodically since they opened. I've even had my birthday dinner with my friends here in their room with the circle table. Each experience has only improved. The broths are all super delicious (I got the pork bone broth, and my friends got the tom yum and tomato bases), and the service is unobtrusive and quick for each round we ordered. This time, I was pleasantly surprised to see they've added bok choy, my favorite hot pot vegetable, to their already diverse list of ingredients as they hadn't had it the last time I came. I also recommend the fruit tea. My only complaint is a minor one, regarding atmosphere: The previous times I've come, nice contemporary Chinese songs played over the speakers, some of which I've looked up and added to my playlist. Today, it was a playlist consisting of just Taylor Swift songs (nothing wrong with her songs, I was just slightly disappointed). I'm sure I'm in the minority haha. My friends and I will be back again.

This place is my favorite hot pot spot in Chicago!! The food was so good and Eric was one of the best servers and he is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend and I will definitely be back!
