Nanshan Hot Pot - Flushing｜南山•熊猫烫火锅 - 法拉盛店

I had a wonderful experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, and the hot pot was outstanding. Everything is panda-themed, which added a fun and charming touch to the whole dining experience — I loved seeing pandas everywhere! The bamboo shoots were a standout for us — fresh, flavorful, and perfect in the hot pot. We tried three soup bases: the classic Mala, rich Tomato, and savory Pork Bone. Each one was incredibly tasty and brought out the best in all the ingredients. Overall, it was a delightful meal in a unique and enjoyable setting. Can’t wait to come back!

Delicious and cute hot pot place! Love the panda theme (you can even buy panda plushies here). Good broth options but slightly limited ingredient options. It’s sufficient and enjoyable though. Wish the portion sizes were larger too. Some meats have a $15-25 a la carte price tag for ~12 slices. Better bang for your buck elsewhere but the quality here was fine if other nearby places are packed. Service was good and attentive. Never had a problem with food coming out fast after ordering. Only confusing thing was their rewards program. There are discount prices if you join the rewards, at least based on the ordering tablet, but the setup is confusing and the staff didn’t socialize it so we were didn’t end up redeeming.

100% authentic and great value Sichuan-style hot pot in Flushing. They have an extensive menu of all the standards and a few items I hadn’t seen at hot pot restaurants in NYC. All very tasty and at reasonable prices! Service was friendly and professional throughout. Also, I love the cute panda theme. I’ll be back!

I had a fantastic hot pot experience here! The Angus beef was absolutely delicious and of excellent quality. I particularly loved the tomato soup base – it tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The staff were also very welcoming and attentive, providing great service throughout our meal. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful hot pot!

The food was very fresh and came out promptly. The food was plated very nicely and the panda decorations were a plus for the atmosphere. The servers were very friendly.

My family have been here twice this month and had very good experience. The highlight is the panda themed decorations: pot top, dishes, cushions, napkin box, and their signature bamboo dish. So lovely! I l love their rich and flavorful soup base (butter spicy, tomato & fruits). They also have variety of fresh ingredients like sliced beef, fish, shrimp paste, handmade noodle…The DiY dipping sauce station, good milk tea selection and fast attentive service are added to the great dining experience. It’s not only perfect for friends gathering but also for families with kids. I didn’t join the membership but will definitely come back again.

Walked by here a lot and finally decided to give it a try. Their space is surprisingly large, didn’t realize there’s a whole downstairs. Decor is super cute abc panda themed. Tomato broth is def the best, beef tallow broth is a let down (just spicy and not really umami). They have many ingredients I haven’t seen at other places before, super cute young bamboo shoot presentation. Tender beef with egg yolk was yummy, but would prob save that for last to eat as it clouds the broth with a lot of egg bits. Sauce bar was good and free single serve ice cream cups in the end. Meal is cheaper if you guys voucher credits online. But they have a weird system where the amount of credit you have left has to be larger than the bill total to make you forever topping up or wasting it.

I've been here four times already and it's been solid every single time. Everything is fresh and soup pairings are delicious. The service was great and staff were able to answer our questions. They gave us recommendations which I'm glad they did. Food was fresh and you get what you pay for. My favorite soup broth was the fruit broth which is more of a tomato flavor. I tried the sour soup (tastes like their fruit soup base with sour and spicy notes) and love that too! The oxtail falls right off the bone and goes well with the spicy soup, as recommended by the staff.

So I was looking for all things themed panda and saw this as a wonderful place to go before Citi Field for a Mets game. It is in Downtown Flushing which apparently has become New York's better Chinatown for food. This is one of two American outposts of the Nanshan Hot Pot chain from China with the other in Bayside, Queens. We walked in and were greeted by very friendly staff and adorable pandas. I am glad we made a reservation since it was quite busy for an early dinner at 4:30 on a Saturday. Our waitress was amazing and ensured the broth had no pork or shellfish due to my wife's allergies and my kosher customs (although I eat meat out and now some shellfish but not shrimp). We got the spicy fish broth as our main hot pot and the fruit as the smaller side one. The spicy was a bit much for us but we still finished most of it. We had various meat including brisket and loved every bite and sip. To drink they had some bartenura in a can such as peach and lychee on menu (but substitute rossato) that I have not seen in Maryland so that was wonderful too and shows cultural appreciation towards us Jewish people. I really hope they expand to Chinatown in DC that is struggling and this would be so successful.

We went to Nanshan Hot Pot because I'm a big fan of pandas, and the panda theme is cute and fun. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn't meet expectations. This is not an all-you-can-eat hot pot. We got the three soup base pot, which was good, and the ingredients were fine, nothing exceptional, but solid for a hot pot. We were seated in the basement, and I would strongly recommend asking for upstairs seating. We barely saw any servers during the meal. Since everything is ordered through an iPad, they only came by to drop off food. The dessert was good. There were also a few concerning issues. I kept feeling water droplets at our table, which we realized were coming from condensation off the A/C unit above us. That was bad enough, but what bothered me was that the droplets could've fallen into our soup without us even knowing. On top of that, a spider dropped into one of my friend's plates, and with no staff nearby, we couldn't even notify anyone. In the end, while the theme is cute and the ice cream was great, the poor service, basement seating, and questionable cleanliness made the experience feel off. I don't think I'd come back unless there were clear improvements.

Flushing has a plethora of hotpot establishments erecting, so quality of food and service is really what sets them apart from each other. This spot is hard to miss because they normally have a dancing giant panda right in front. Bear in mind (pun intended?), this isn't an AYCE spot, so ordering a la carte can add up quickly. Most of the ordering can be done via tablet; it's very user-friendly and rather straightforward. You have the option of choosing up to 3 broths. We initially wanted to opt for 2 broths, but the size of the pot didn't really make sense; there was a small and large side to the 2 broth pot and we didn't have a preference to the broth yet. We opted for 3 broths (pork broth, tomato, sour soup) because of the even portion size. The broths were all very fragrant. Pork bone broth was my favorite, with the perfect amount of herbs. Tomato broth had a potent tomato flavor, so I would not recommend if you're not a fan of tomatoes. Sour soup is actually spicy, which we were very surprised about, but this wasn't too bad. One gripe I had was that they took forever to bring out the broth for some reason. We ordered a wide range of protein -- angus beef, beef slices, beef tongue, lamb slices, and fish; most of it ranged from $8.99 - $16.99 per order. I honestly could not tell you the difference between the variety of beef, but the beef tongue was definitely a crowd favorite. We also ordered the usual hotpot items such as fish roe balls, dried bean curds, quail eggs, wood-ear mushroom, fish tofu, enoki, AA Choy, vermicelli and handmade noodle; all which were very standard. Loved the wide vermicelli noodles, but you could hold off on the handmade noodles. These items were reasonably priced, at about $2.99-$6.99 per item, but they also charge for usage of sauce bar. While I do think the quality of most items were solid, I don't find myself visiting here often. You could probably get better quality items at a similar price range in the area. The restaurant itself is cute though, especially if you love giant pandas. -- BUT ALSO, why aren't there personal metal/heat friendly spoons to use??? Why are we hotpotting with plastic spoons?

Yummy hot pot! Nanshan is not AYCE, and it's a bit pricey but the meat quality is very good. The plum pork and the lamb were both very good. I also liked the crispy pork trotters as an appetizer. I liked that you can have up to 3 different soup bases - the tomato was my favorite! The staff are very friendly, and the service is fast. It's casual and cute inside, with lots of panda-themed decorations.

Cute interior, good selection of meats and veggies for hotpot! This place has 2 floors for seating and nice waitstaff. There are also side dishes and fruit at the sauce station for free. The only qualm I have it the hot is a little too small, you can pick up to 3 flavors of soup but if you go with more than 2 people then it gets a little crowded to be cooking so much in such a small-ish pot.

Good selection to order from. It's a la carte with lots of pandas n bib too for less mess

You'd think that it would be hard to stand out as a hotpot place in Flushing, but surprise! I was so happy after eating here and I've already come twice in the last few weeks haha. Both times I came rather early, around 5:30 or so, and we managed to get seated immediately; but they definitely get really busy during peak meal times, so come early, make a res (I think this wasn't previously an option), or be prepared to queue. We opted for the classic three-flavour broth both times, which has a spicy mala broth, pork bone broth, and a fruity (!) broth. The fruity broth is actually kind of similar to the pork broth IMO but just a tad sweeter. Also, they were (are?) doing a promotion where the spicy broth can come with the spicy roe butter, so we did opt for that the first time, but to be entirely honest, we couldn't really taste the difference lol. And, the regular spicy one comes with the cute panda bear :) Some highlights - - For meats we tried a few but my favourite was the American beef (美國肥牛) despite being one of the cheaper options - really tender and flavourful. I also quite liked the basa fish which had a surprisingly large portion size. - We got an order of the fish roe balls (魚仔丸) which were really delicious. - Veggies were very fresh and yummy across the board. - Sweet potato noodles were great! - Matcha shaved ice was definitely the low point of the meals :( I really hate popping boba, so maybe this is just on me lol but buyer be warned! Overall it did just taste overly/sickly sweet, but at least it wasn't too pricey. For drinks I think you can actually order from the bubble tea shop next door (seems that they may be sharing a kitchen or something), and instead of desserts I'd recommend having some of their yummy orange slices at the sauce bar instead of their shaved ices lol. And get the membership! I think you have to basically buy/load a gift card, but there's no cost for the membership itself, and I will be coming here pretty often (and soon!) so it was a no-brainer for me haha.

Nanshan Hot Pot is so adorable and is a panda themed hot pot spot. The inside of the restaurant is bright, clean, and very inviting. Service here is kind and fairly quick. We got a variety of meats, veggies, and seafood for our hot pot and everything was delicious. The prices are good, but portions are also smaller to reflect that. The broth here is also pretty decent and I love the panda decor that they have on their hot pot. Their sauce bar has sesame oil and sesame paste made in house, which is super neat! Overall, not a bad hot pot spot!

Nansan hotpot in Flushing is an adorable and delicious hotpot .This panda-themed spot is as cute as it gets, and the food? So good. The sesame oil and sesame paste at the sauce bar is made in house. We went with the classic three-flavor broth, and it was perfect--something for everyone! The Angus prime ribs were insanely tender, and the seafood was super fresh. Everything just tasted amazing. It's such a fun vibe, and the quality of the food makes it even better. Definitely add this spot to your list!

Absolutely adorable and tasty new hot pot spot in Flushing. In a city where there are hot pot places on every block, it's sometimes hard to stand out, but Nanshan makes its mark with all the panda-themed features and outfits throughout! From staff dressed in panda ears to a huge fluffy panda mascot that wanders the street outside, everything is so adorable. When you come in, you're given a bib and hair tie (if you have long hair) and given an iPad to order from. Their spicy broth comes with a cute panda shaped seasoning block and their "house special fruit soup" is a great soup base if you need a break from the spice. All ingredients are very fresh and tasty, and quite reasonably priced. You do have to pay extra for sauces as is now seeming to be the norm.

Very fresh hot pot. Everything was panda themed and very cute. For the spicy broth, it comes in a panda sculpture that melts, loads of heat. All the vegetables, meat were well cut, clean, very good quality. The bottom level has more space and is quieter than the top.

The food was good. We had a group of 5 and we ordered a decent amount of food. At the end it came out to about $60/per person so it wasn't too expensive. There was a lot of seating and it wasn't too loud. The service was pretty attentive for the most part. The food was fresh and good, and they brought out the orders pretty quickly.

What stands out here is their service. They immediately start you off with hot disposable towels and a bin to put your clothes in. They come around frequently to refill your water, your hotpot soup, and help with cooking dishes like shrimp paste. The food was ok- we mainly got a lot of seafood and vegetables. All the ingredients were fresh and presentation was nice. There's a sauce bar charge. Total for dinner for two was ~$100 after tip and taxes. Good hotpot spot close to center activity area of flushing. Which is perfect for cold days when you don't want to walk too far :)

This place just recently opened, and on a Sunday it was about an hour or so wait for a table of two. They have a member's price where everything is a little bit off (~$1-3) depending on the dish, but it didn't seem to be available yet. Food was fine overall, I liked the tomato broth and the classic Szechuan one. It wasn't particularly amazing or special compared to other hotpot in the area, except for the cute panda decorations. Ambiance is classic hotpot restaurant, busy and noisy, good place to chat and eat. Service is a bit hit or miss, but they just opened so things will probably get better as time goes on. The items on the menu don't also appear as shown. For example we ordered the angus beef karubi, and it looked nothing like the menu picture (same price $19.99 version etc), being fewer slices.

The meats and seafood were high quality and fresh. We loved the sauce station, where we got to make our own unique sauces. They have house made freshly ground sesame paste and cold-pressed sesame oil. You can choose your soup bases. We got the classic three flavor broths. The service was great, they kept on refilling the soup bases. The restaurant was really cute with all the pandas

Pandas. Pandas everywhere. I feel like if that wasn't Nanshan's biggest selling point, nobody would give this place a second glance. Because of all the hotpot restaurants in Flushing, at least food quality and price wise, this place is your average hotpot, nothing special. Most dishes were overpriced for the portion size and I wish you could customize the soup bases how you wanted. Service wise - majority of the stars given are for the staff that were super attentive and helpful when it came to ordering and placing all the dishes at our table. The whole time we were waiting for our table, the waitress kept checking in on us, updating us and giving us mints and panda hair pins. Overall, nothing to write home about and I would unlikely be returning. Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Likeliness to return: 2/5

The interior was really cuteeeee!!! Love pandas :3 Food was pretty okay!! Service was good!

Came here twice. The broth is decent. Quality of the food is not bad. I would come back here. Food ordering is pretty quick.

I loved this place. Ambiance is super clean and cute with the panda theme. They even have panda giveaways. Service is good, everyone is very friendly. Side dishes are delicious- the seaweed and peanuts are fantastic and I'm pretty picky about seaweed. Veggie selection is all very well cut and clean- they have my favorites which are hard to find- gong cai and Celtuce. The broths are amazing. The price is a little expensive but still better than Manhattan spots. Overall I have nothing to complain about. Meat quality very good too.

Server forgot our drinks and no water. Forgot some of our items too. We were offered sauce for some of the things we ordered but weren't told it was a charge. This place isn't an ayce place which is fine but be prepared for some higher prices per plate of meat. The meats were good though. If you eat a good amount you're better off going to an ayce place or Chong Qing Lao Zao. The place was nice, clean, and cute and the seats were comfortable even with some pillows and a downstairs which was quieter.

Nanshan Hotpot in Flushing is a popular family-friendly restaurant known for its panda theme, creative hotpot dishes. I like the panda-themed atmosphere and attentive friendly service. One complaint I have is that I wish this was AYCE hotpot but it's not. I went during 5pm and was glad I didn't need to wait in line and got seated immediately. The hotpot comes on 3 broths( pumpkin tomato,herbal,and chil). There's this orange cute bear looking sculpture which is use to make the broth spicier. The selection of foods here are limited and price is reasonable. Will I come here again? I probably wouldn't.

1st panda-themed hotpot restaurant in New York that just opened in Flushing, Queens. As soon as you walk in, you'll be welcomed by panda decor and theme. They have 17 locations across Shenzen, Dongguan and this is their first location in New York. As for the food, we ordered the 3 classic flavor broth and each of them are very flavorful. Our main favorites are the A5 Miyazaki wagyu, Premium panda bamboo shoots & Tofu with Shrimp. This is definitely a great addition to the neighborhood. Can't wait to bring my family and friends next time!

The food was mid, typical quality and taste of every other hotpot place. The broth was lacking in flavor and the portions are ridiculously small. The service was fine, waiters were attentive and came and cleaned up the table of empty plates very fast. The chopsticks gave me a splinter The menus they're handing out show desserts and drinks but they didn't actually have any of it I've had AYCE hotpot that provided a better experience than here

One of my favorite hot pot spots in Flushing. Clean, simple and fun atmosphere all while maintaining functionality and efficiency. Quick food arrival after placing an order and everything looks incredibly clean. I would recommend no need for any dipping sauce, the broth is so good it would be sacrilege to mask that golden soup.

The soup options are very good. The spicy is VERY spicy. The sour has a great flavor, the fruit soup base is a surprisingly good choice as well. The ingredients to go in the hot pot are as you would expect. The sauce bar is well stocked. The restaurant is clean, and the pricing is solid for what you get. After the meal, the hersheys ice cream is a great treat.

Very good!! Great experience and the food and service were exemplary. I loved it. Especially on a cold night.

Food fresh . the service Alvin was amazing, attentive. Informative and friendly. The place are clean

Everything was so good and even the spicy broth didn't feel too heavy and oily. All the food tasted clean and really fresh. Highly recommend plus portions are smaller and priced lower so you can get more of a variety. I'd return and recommend. Also server and male host was so nice!

Excellent choices of food. Very tasty. Attentive service. Wish I had taken more photos to share.

Such a fun and inviting environment, along with delicious food, my new favorite hotpot spot. Usually it's hard for my kids to sit still and eat, but they were able to sit still and kept eating, they said food was really good and they also want to go back. The wait staff was very attentive, kept pouring water for us in our glass and broth pot and kept checking in on us to see if we needed anything.

Good food, nice environments and friendly people. Enjoy my stay The food is fresh. Will consider coming back here

Absolutely love this place. The broth is one of the best I've tried. The service is also pretty quick even on weekend dinner service. Cute panda plushies are seen all around the restaurant and they even have a grinder at the sauce station for ultra fresh peanut sauce. Was driven to come here by the panda decor but the food is what truly hits. 1000% recommend.

Goood service and food price for this quality and service is friendly and helpful. Dine in Sunday night and have a great experience.

Very good customer service the staff is kind and cheerful. There was a verity of food but not to many drinks.

Food: Mala flavor is authentic! Food presentation is on point. 辣的爽！ Ambiance: Lively spot situated in the heart of Flushing yet still suitable for family's and babies. Service: staffs are professional, accommodating, and very friendly.

meat was fresh, ingredients were high quality. customers service was also great! will come back

Pandas everywhere ! Hot pot was good, fried rice was on point. Wear the bib! Other notables included the braised pork feet and fried pork

Food is decent but a bit overpriced. Be careful the plastic panda doesn't get too close to the hotpot or they will melt.
