Raosu

What an amazing deal - $39.99 for all you can eat hotpot AND sushi …in Manhattan! The value made the food taste even better. I loved everything about my lunch here, delicious food (great options for hot pot, sushi rolls, and sides which come inclusive), super friendly service (went for Sunday late lunch so there were only 3 other tables dining), and gorgeous interior. Definitely the prettiest hot pot restaurant I’ve ever been to! Please be sure to come hungry because it’s a ton of food! And I think it was really tasty (I recommend the mushroom soup base) especially for the price! Also, they have happy hours. I’ll have to come back to try the elevated AYCE option ($79) which has a larger menu of hotpot items and sushi AND beer!

Fantastic hot pot restaurant. The staff are extremely polite and helpful. The venue is absolutely gorgeous with great lighting, thoughtful decorations, and very spacious. We did the all you can eat option and the food was very good. The angus beef, frozen tofu, and the crown daisy were my favorite. We tried 3 soup bases: mild to medium spicy beef butter, coconut chicken, and the Raosu special. My favorite was hands down the spicy beef butter. I was a little disappointed in the Raosu special broth because I wanted more flavors than I actually tasted in the broth - but as this is their soft opening, I hope they take this feedback and make it even better. Overall a really great restaurant with fantastic value and good quality meat, seafood and vegetables. I will surely be coming back here for hot pot. Highly recommended. Update: I have taken some of my friends back here already, and still find the venue, service and the food just as fantastic as the first time. I am also going to also be making a reservation here to celebrate my birthday next weekend.

We had a fabulous hotpot sushi dinner here. Staffs are super friendly and always attentive to our needs. The food is so delicious and fresh. Definitely luxury feel for the decors inside. Update: 3rd visit while in New York. Service was slow and waiter has avoided my son’s requests. The salmon sashimi came out not fresh and super small. Don’t order their sushi, barely a super thin slice of fish, with a lot of rices. The quality of food and service is definitely going down the drain. Too sad for the business.

Excellent stop for traditional hot pot or sushi! For $40 we had unlimited sushi and hot pot selections. The servers were very helpful, and the quality of everything was excellent. I’ve had hot pot style meals in Japan and this was just as good!

This is the best hotpot spot we have been to in New York! Unlimited hotpot and sushi paired with the best service imaginable! There were so many options for add-ins for the hotpot and the sushi was incredibly fresh. It feels like a VIP experience really. The entire place is decorated so nicely! One (very small) critique is that the very spicy hotpot could use just a little more flavor. It was still good (and plenty spicy), but need some more flavor.

This place is new and the people are still learning, and you can tell (they messed up our reservation and had us wait ~20 min to be seated), but the attentive service here really deserves 6 stars. Our server was endlessly patient, and at no point were we made to feel like we had ordered too much. This place is true AYCE, and they don’t slow down service to make you order less, which I have experienced at other AYCE places and was worried might happen. We did the hotpot & sushi combo, and the experience was really worth it. Unlimited salmon sashimi and unlimited unagi was a dream come true. The hotpot itself was unremarkable, but I really wasn’t expecting much there. There were lots and lots of menu options, but some we wanted to order were sold out. I enjoyed all the appetizers and desserts (I basically tried everything). The appetizers and fruits were self service, which was convenient since we came famished. The total came out to be ~$100pp (tax + tip + 2 pots among 6 people). Did we each eat $100 worth of food? No way, not even close. But this high end AYCE felt almost like a festival, and for days I was feeling like a kid looking forward to a party that couldn’t come soon enough. I loved the entire dining experience, but I wouldn’t go back anytime soon. Certain things are best enjoyed in small doses; theme parks are one, and Raosu is another. Eating past satiety can’t be healthy for anyone. UPDATE I went again on Aug 20, and they clearly stepped up their game. I noticed the most drastic improvement in appetizers and desserts — I tried basically everything and the mango pomelo sago was so much better than the first time. Service continued to be excellent. They changed their menu/prices a little and it came out to be ~$80pp after tips and taxes. I am coming back for sure!

Amazing All You Can Eat restaurant in New York! The sashimi is wonderful and the hotpot is amazing. I love the lamb and here the portions of meat is great. All meat and seafood is fresh! It only costs about $65 per person. Love here!

This has to be the best hotpot place in Manhattan. Mind you, not only is it unlimited hotpot, it’s also unlimited SUSHI!! The ambiance makes you feel like you’re in a dream, such beautiful decor and the seating is so comfortable! The food was exquisite, we ordered mostly meats and each and everyone was so delicious! For the dessert, which again so delicious, I highly recommend the custard buns, mango jelly, fruit salad, and ice cream ball. We got some cocktails which at first I was a little hesitant due to the price but one sip, I would’ve paid more. It tasted magnificent, a perfectly balanced mix. Don’t even get me started on the service, every single person we interacted with was so comforting and accommodating. They were all so professional and sweet, I can’t wait to come back here with a bigger group. It’s really the perfect place to have a fancy birthday dinner. Truthfully it’s a perfect place for an easygoing dinner too, it’s just perfect overall. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO RAOSU HOTPOT FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE AND DELICIOUS EXPERIENCE!!

Raosu Hot Pot and Sushi exceeded my expectations in every way possible! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and seated promptly. What truly sets Raosu apart is their incredible variety - offering up to three different soup bases for hot pot enthusiasts like myself to indulge in. The AYCE hot pot and sushi option is an absolute game-changer. Not only does it allow you to customize your meal to your heart's content, but it also ensures that you leave fully satisfied. Whether you're craving fresh sushi rolls or simmering hot pot goodness, Raosu has got you covered. The quality of ingredients is top-notch, and the attentive staff are always on hand to assist with any questions or special requests. The ambiance is inviting and perfect for gathering with friends or enjoying a cozy meal with loved ones. If you're a fan of hot pot and sushi, look no further than Raosu Hot Pot and Sushi. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Qualify of sushi was great for the most part, the restaurant itself is stunning, clean and classy looking, but the slow service and tactic of bringing the partially frozen sashimi in the end at the end despite asking multiple times was a bit annoying. Came here on a Wednesday evening so we were one party of 6 in a huge restaurant with no more than maybe 3 other groups. We ordered AYCE sushi for $64.99/pp and had a few cocktails because we got there just before happy hour ended (7pm). Cocktails were yummy and not bad for $7 each - there was even overflow so they put one cocktail in a glass and an overflow glass. Quality of sushi was great and the selection was great! We had almost everything and it was all good! The only complaint is that the sashimi was kinda frozen and they waited until the very end to bring us the sashimi even tho that's the first thing we asked for. It felt like the tactic was to bring out all the other sushi's, have extremely slow service, and then wait until the end to bring the sashimi after we had to ask multiple times for it. Slow service makes sense for this place if it was Saturday and super busy, but it just lacked in efficiency when there's already barely anyone at the restaurant. Also the sashimi still being a little frozen and finally brought out at the end was annoying. Otherwise I would probably return to this place once they're a bit more mature and efficient in their operations.

What an amazing buffet. It has the trifecta: hotpot, sushi, and dim sum. The dim sum buffet is kind of hidden on a third menu, which you have to ask for and it's only on the $75 premium option. I highly recommend the more expensive option since the variety is amazing. Bring gloves and scissors for opening up their amazing crab. I don't think I've ever seen a crab leg be so spiky before at a buffet. They even allow up to 4 soup broths on the hotpot. The great thing about this place is that there are some self service items and cooked items you can get yourself while ordering for the hotpot, dim sum , or sushi. The crab and surprisingly, abalone, is on the self serve section. There's a wide selection of options for sauces for the hotpot. Garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili oil, etc. The premium option has sashimi, so we just loaded up on that fatty salmon. I'll probably ban my friend Rocky from ordering Milky beef that actually has milk on raw meat. Who the hell eats that?! The decor is very fancy. Looks like a swanky hotel and has chandeliers and interesting statues. Very clean, and fast service.

While the interior design of Raosu is undeniably stunning, my recent dining experience was unfortunately a let down. From subpar food quality to inattentive service, it fell short of expectations, especially considering the high price point. The only undeniable highlight of my Raosu experience was the stunning interior design. The restaurant itself is a visual feast, t's a shame that the food and service couldn't live up to the beauty of the space, as it truly is something special. However, for the price point and dining experience, I'd sadly recommend admiring the venue from afar and seeking your Asian cuisine fix elsewhere. Service was practically non-existent. Flagging down a waiter felt like an Olympic sport, and even then, they were often overwhelmed by the entire dining room vying for their attention. This resulted in long waits and a general feeling of being neglected. Adding to the frustration was the confusing "all you can eat" menu. Many premium items were inexplicably excluded, and deciphering what was included felt like solving a riddle. The real kicker was the food quality. The sushi and sashimi were reminiscent of gas station offerings, lacking freshness and vibrancy. Most dishes, including the supposedly flavorful hot pot ingredients, were underwhelming, requiring liberal applications of sauce to compensate for the blandness. Even the buffet selection was limited and often looked past its prime, not being replenished frequently. To top it off, at one point, I couldn't even find clean plates to serve myself! While the "stuff yourself till you can't move" approach might appeal to some, those seeking quality and attentive service will be sorely disappointed. This wouldn't be an issue if the prices reflected the experience, but the current price point feels outrageously high for what is delivered. In conclusion, unless you prioritize stunning decor over everything else, I wouldn't recommend Raosu. There are far better options for quality Asian cuisine in the city, with service that matches the price point.

Very impressive entrance! The decor was gorgeous! My daughter and I agree this was the best hotpot place we've dined at, and we sure do know and love hotpot! They have an elaborate menu of selections for the AYCE experience. There is also a wide selection of cooked dishes and cold appetizers and sushi rolls. Definitely bookmark this restaurant if you're in the area! You will not be disappointed! Excellent food quality, beautiful restaurant, and very friendly and attentive wait staff. $64.99 per person for AYCE. It's expensive for hotpot, but the quality and experience were worth every penny!

The first thing that stood out was just how beautiful the space was. Definitely had a lot of very instagrammable spaces. The food was also delicious - my husband and I got the spicy oil and coconut chicken broths. The spicy broth was solid - very flavorful. And the coconut chicken had a nice, almost creamy quality, which contrasted the spicy broth well. My husband and I got the $39.99 all you can eat package, and absolutely loved it. While not as extensive as the ~$70 package, we still had a nice selection of meats and vegetables. We also were able to get some appetizers, all of which we loved. We especially enjoyed this mango sago dessert. All in all, we had a good experience and were very impressed by the good value of the AYCE package. Will definitely recommend for anyone who want a nice hotpot experience!

This review is solely for my experience grabbing a drink at the bar! My friend and I decided to try their happy hour deal. We were the only ones in the bar! They don't have their happy hour info on their website, but it is 2 for 1 cocktails and martinis 3-close. We called to get this info and had to talk to 2 different people to find this out. Then when we got there, they seemed very confused when we said we were there for the happy hour? I think they need to do a better job at promoting this and informing their employees, because it would definitely get more people in at the bar area. I had the lychee martini and the cosmo. I liked both, but I LOVED the lychee martini! It was full of lychee flavor and the right level of sweetness. It was sort of strange that they ran out of martini glasses for my second drink, even though the restaurant was pretty empty. My friend got the mango margarita and loved it. Kim was our bartender, and she was so sweet! We really enjoyed talking to her! Overall, I would definitely come back for drinks here! The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is I think they still are getting their footing on the management of this restaurant. I look forward to seeing how they grow!

Ambiance - 5 Stars Service - 4 Stars. The waiters forgot about our orders sometimes. Food - 4 Stars. The soup base of the hot pot is very good, all the food for hot pot are very fresh, a lot of varieties and in good quality. However, the Japanese food, ex. Sashimi, are not that fresh. Therefore, I would suggest not to include the Japanese food in the buffet, which can reduce the price of $10. Overall, the dining experience here is very pleasant. I would come back sometime in the future.

Beautiful brand new hot spot restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, serving all types of meats, veggies and all you can eat sushi, all for the price of $60, plus sauces which adds another $9 per person. Note they recently changed to this pricing model! The restaurant is beautiful, high ceiling, large tables to accommodate accommodating 4 persons. And a menu that is so extensive, with all you can eat options! We opted for some sushi to begin the meal, the ayce option only included the basic pieces and if you wanted to better selection there is a fee. (Which defeats the purpose of ayce). We then got 3 types of soup base, tomato, herbal medicine and mushroom. Thankfully we did not order the spicy ones, because we saw tables next to us having to send back the spicy soup because it was too spicy! The meats and veggies options were all fresh. Overall, which I enjoyed the experience. The service needs much improvement. On multiple occasions, our food either did not arrive or we received food that we did not order. And when we asked for the bill, it took us asking three different servers and waiting over 20 mins. For what it is worth, experience and all I still would return and hopefully the work out the kinks in the service.

This all you can eat hot pot and sushi was a fun experience and the quality of the food was good too. You can choose one hot pot soup for yourself and each additionally one is $5.95 more (you can choose up to 4 total for your group). We got many coconut milks since drinks are included. They charge extra for dipping sauce and even if you just use soy sauce, they will charge your extra so might as well use all of the sauces. I ate lots of sashimi since it's fresh and although the appetizers were tempting, I didn't eat too much of it (fried crab, meat, etc.). We got the spicy butter (so spicy!), duck, seafood, and pork bone soups and they were all good. My favorite was the pork bone. The service is pretty great and they have a live singer. The ambiance is very pretty as well and it opened a month ago so everything is still new. I would recommend this place if you're looking to eat a lot to make the $59.99 worth it (or can eat strategically)!

We came for dinner with a group of 8 on a Tuesday. They were rather quiet, and the service was a bit slow on the sushi items, but the hot pot was great. I love how you're able to select up to 4 soup bases per table. The spicy broth definitely is spicy, even for those who can handle heat. It offers heat with a hint of numbness, which szechuan food is known for. They have a full bar and it was nice to enjoy a drink with this meal. They have a wide selection of items for the hot pot, from meats to seafood to vegetables, and with their sushi menu, you definitely have options for everyone.

Great food, and the price for the sushi alone is worth it. My 11 year old ate this entire plate of sushi, and we loved the hotpot and choices. The servers made sure we had everything we would need, and the place is very nice. The appetizers are great, and the sauce bar has everything you need.

Went back recently and this place has gotten even better. The seafood tasted much fresher and now sashimi/nigiri was included in the AYCE deal. Will be coming here much more often!

Hmm... I'm not sure what's with all these great reviews. I decided to go because of the reviews and a reel that I saw, but it's too hyped up. I gave this place three stars because it is so pricey, and the service was horrible. You definitely don't need to make reservations. It was quite confusing about how some reviews said you can pay for sushi + hotpot or just do hotpot by itself. I would've much rather do hotpot. It must've changed. Maybe they're still working out the kinks as well. It was so confusing how I asked someone one thing, and no one else knew the answer. The question I asked was, are the cocktails bogo? The front desk lady said yes. I asked the waitress, and she was really confused and had to go ask the bartender. Who trains everyone here bc they all need to get retrained. Once we ordered something, it never arrived, and I thought they put it down on their iPad. Once the servers changed their shift, they had to start all over again from scratch, so our order got lost in the mist. The food was alright, but not everything came out. There's some miscommunication going on with the servers and kitchen staff. I asked them how the appetizers worked, and they explained, and I was still really confused. All in all, I think everyone's first language is Chinese at the restaurant, and English isn't really as well known or spoken here. I won't be returning as I felt like a big rip off.

Beautiful interior design but does not worth $75 ayce per person but since its is Manhattan. There are similar quality restaurant with similar price for ayce hot pot + sushi within 2 miles. Decided to give this place a try since is near my hotel and last meal before heading back home. I will try other restaurant when I come back to NY next time.

The ambiance and service here is elite! I love hot pot and wanted to try my favorite meal in NYC. The cost is $65.99 per person. $65.99 is expensive for hot pot. However, I wanted to try it. Unfortunately the meat is cut very thick. And I didn't like it. I am used to the meat being cut very thin and cooking very quickly! I came for the hot pot, but enjoyed the sushi and dim sum items more. Which was disappointing! The sushi is very fresh and delicious. It was so good. We only ate one round of hot pot and moved on to sushi and other items on the menu! I suggest that they cut their meat thinner and and add more flavor to their soup. I normally get the beef butter and it's normally delicious. However, their version was bland and almost tasteless. For the price I would've thought that it would've been better than the Hotpot that I get a Georgia for $35 but it wasn't.

Overall pretty mid or even below average The food wasn't super fresh with almost no presentation (we came in quite late but still the food should be much fresher) The service was okay but sometimes it can be really SLOW. it seems like the team doesn't have a proper plan throughout the restaurant. Everyone was just running into each other. Throughout the dinner ALL the servers served us but none of them had a good communication to each other, thus made tons of mistakes in our orders and requested. The interior furnishings wasn't appealing as a restaurant. It looks more like an early 2000s night club as a front business.. The menu says the all you can eat is $60 but they DIDNT mention soft drinks are not included. we spent $90 for each one of us which isn't that worthy for hotpot's. There are tons of better options for hotspots in the city that you can get less than $60 per person.

Raosu was 10/10 experience!! All you can eat hot pot AND sushi AND appetizers AND desserts!?!? So worth the price. We came on a Saturday night and were seated right away. A server came by within minutes to explain the menu and take our initial order. They also have a dipping sauce bar where you can make your own sauce and they also had some appetizers prepared. Ok I'll start with the hot pot. You can get up to four broths for the hot pot so I got a spicy oil broth, a tomato broth, and a bone broth. All of them were so flavorful and I loved the different ways they flavored the meats we put in the hot pot. We got so many meats and the quality was very good. We started to get some fattier pieces toward the end of the night but for the most part it was great. I think particularly loved the white fish in the spicy broth and the beef in the tomato broth. Now for the sushi, I was a little worried that with all you can eat sushi the quality of the fish might not be as good but I am delighted to report that I was wrong!! The fish tasted very fresh and yummy. Not the absolute best sushi I've had but for all you can eat I was very pleased. I loved the salmon and the eel nigiri and the special rolls like the rainbow roll. For drinks I tried the sour plum juice and it was yummy but pretty sweet. For dessert we got the deep fried buns which came with a dipping sauce and were soooo good. I also had a mango pudding thing from the appetizer bar which was fresh and delicious. With no time limit for all you can eat I definitely think I ate my money's worth I left sooo full. Do yourself a favor and try raosu!!!

Excellent service as a first timer, every waiter was so friendly and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful. We came from a small town in Canada and they taught us how to use the hot pot and gave us of some great recommendations on what to order. There is so many different options to choose on the menu. Food came out quickly which was nice. Definitely come hungry because the price is fantastic for what you get overall!!

Raosu Hotpot is a stylish, upscale hotpot spot that is located in an area that is somewhat bereft of hotpot options. Immediately, we were drawn to the indoor decor. It is pretty lavish looking, spacious, and feels more modern than traditional (as opposed to most hotpot spots). We opted for the AYCE hotpot for $49.99/pp (+$19.99 for the broths). So for a dinner for two, you'd be looking at a $60/pp AYCE which is certainly expensive. We opted for three broths: the raosu special pot (it's a herbal/bone broth), the delicious tomato beef brisket pot (which is indeed delicious), and the spicy beef butter pot. Would recommend the tomato and the spicy beef broths, but that's just my preference (I normally don't like the herbal bone broth). The sauce station is adequate but I do wish they had hoisin sauce and other sweet options (the only way to make it sweet was to add sugar). Now, the reason the AYCE for $49.99 is worth it: three words. Snow Crab Legs. Get them. And then drop them into the broth, wait for the legs to completely soak in the broth, pull them out after a while, crack them open and enjoy! The snow crabs are tasty, filling, and absolutely a must! We ordered the spicy Szechuan style beef, the premium lamb, the beef filet, the abalone (didn't think much of it, but do try it, especially since it is considered a delicacy!), Lotus root, fried tofu, enoki mushrooms, watercress, beef in two kinds of pepper. You can easily tell that the quality of the meats is high. We really enjoyed our food! The crispy chicken appetizer is okay (too much crispy, too little chicken, if you catch my drift). Until tomorrow (Jun 30), I believe, if you write a review for the business...literally what I am doing right now...they offer a free cocktail, a free sashimi platter, and a complimentary lobster! We got all of those. The passion fruit mojito cocktail was a little too sweet for my liking, but kept getting better as the ice melted and watered it up. The lobster and sashimi platter were both excellent, and the sashimi platter presentation is gorgeous (the platter looks like a little boat). We never got our cucumber salad, fish tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and beef short ribs. That's the thing with AYCE. If food you ordered didn't arrive, you pause for a sec and maybe wonder if that's for the best (because there is so much to eat anyway)? The waiters are really courteous. And I mean it. They were trying their best, and tried to be as helpful as they could be! It did get pretty busy when we started our dinner, and at that point it was hard to grab anyone's attention to order. And when they did bring our order, it would be incomplete. Or at times we were given the wrong item. If they're able to improve upon that aspect of the service, that would be a big W for the business. At the same time, when it was less crowded, the quality of the service shot up. It isn't by any means a cheap dinner. With two, you'd probably be footing a $150+ bill by the end. But at the same time, it was absolutely worth it for us to pay that amount of money for good quality meats, snow Crab legs, abalone, lobster, etc. Maybe we might come here again with a larger group!

Gorgeous tasty food, kid friendly wait staff, and beautiful inside. I was surprised to see it fairly empty. I enjoyed all of my sushi items and I found the plating to be very special.

A welcome addition to midtown! In an area devoid of hotpot, Raosu exceeds expectations. The options available for AYCE are more than worth the price. With multiple types of high quality beef, snow crab legs, and house made noodles, this is a feast to remember. Hospitality is also top notch with waitresses offering assistance, including crackers for the snow crab legs! Can't wait to come back to try the sushi.

Wow this place! It is HUGE inside, and very well decorated. As seen on their menu, the deal is AYCE for $50 for hotpot, but there is an additional charge of $20 spread across the table for the soup base as well. Overall the soup bases were quite flavorful, reminiscent of the higher quality hotpot joints in Flushing. In addition, the AYCE menu includes premium seafood items (actual large scallops, abalone, tiger prawns) and higher quality meats than what is found at other AYCE hotpot places. Be warned that the service is slow currently, and some soft drink items were not available yet. I will give them the benefit of the doubt for how new the place is, and try again another time. I will be back for sure; not just for the great hotpot but also the amazing desserts!

What a great addition to the neighborhood! We did the ACYE hot pot, which came with a free sashimi platter and free lobster ($49.95pp). It was a great deal. My favorites were the quail eggs, handmade noodles, and shrimp paste. Also loved how spacious it was and the tech savviness of the hot pot (it elevates out of the broth for easier access to the food). It's 69.95pp if you want to add ACYE sushi. Will be back again!

Excellent food and service. The place is big and the decor is beautiful. Definitely a nice place to come during an empty stomach as it is all you can eat. 10/10 would be back again very soon with more friends !

I have nothing to complain about - it was great quality food, attentive service, and I got exactly as I expected. The only thing I would complain about is the price - $75 AYCE hot pot is expensive, but that's the price of Manhattan vs Flushing. THe restaurant is conveniently located near Times Square on a quiet street, and the interior decorations are very nice (I felt underdressed in my jeans). You are able to order anything from the waiter, pick up some select items that are laid out, and they will bring out the remainder of the food you don't get to pick out. There is also pre-cooked lobster, clam, and seafood if you want pan-fried items. They also have traditional Chinese dessert.

TLDR: Price point is high for what it is, and you will not receive the food you order. This place is beautiful inside and had a lot of potential in my opinion. Seating is spacious especially for a prime location in midtown Manhattan. The type of service you receive can really dictate how your experience will go. We were seated and had to wait another fifteen minutes before flagging down a waiter to bring us menus. The servers will not check on you - it is a waiving war every time you want to order more. While they do seem understaffed, I think it is inexcusable to charge such a high price point for AYCE but to simply not receive your order. The $75 included sushi but we did not get any of our sushi orders. If you wish to pay $75 for mediocre hotpot, then this place may be for you.

So, I really can't comment on the food as I didn't eat it and I'll explain why. Daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday in NYC this year and she loves hotpot. Found this AYCE restaurant, which is apparently hard to find in NYC. The restaurant is gorgeous inside and the hostess was super friendly. We got there about an hour before our reservation but were still seated immediately (5 people). The issue, though, is that from the photos in the reviews, the AYCE hotpot price was $60 a person. When we went, it was $75. Much higher than we had anticipated when you're paying for 5 people. So even though everything looked good, I just couldn't justify speaking that much for a teenager's birthday dinner. We ended up going elsewhere.

This place is new and the people are still learning, and you can tell (they messed up our reservation and had us wait ~20 min to be seated), but the attentive service here really deserves 6 stars. Our server was endlessly patient, and at no point were we made to feel like we had ordered too much. This place is true AYCE, and they don't slow down service to make you order less, which I have experienced at other AYCE places and was worried might happen. We did the hotpot & sushi combo, and the experience was really worth it. Unlimited salmon sashimi and unlimited unagi was a dream come true. The hotpot itself was unremarkable, but I really wasn't expecting much there. There were lots and lots of menu options, but some we wanted to order were sold out. I enjoyed all the appetizers and desserts (I basically tried everything). The appetizers and fruits were self service, which was convenient since we came famished. The total came out to be ~$100pp (tax + tip + 2 pots among 6 people). Did we each eat $100 worth of food? No way, not even close. But this high end AYCE felt almost like a festival, and for days I was feeling like a kid looking forward to a party that couldn't come soon enough. I loved the entire dining experience, but I wouldn't go back anytime soon. Certain things are best enjoyed in small doses; theme parks are one, and Raosu is another. Eating past satiety can't be healthy for anyone.

Waited 1.5 hrs to be served a drink and some more for the soup to arrive. Please save the trip because you will be starving

Food is bad. Serve dish very slow. Server lie to us. We asked if shrimp is live. They told us it is, but its actually frozen. And They skiped few dish we ordered Charged extra on my credit card. Had bug on the table.

Recently opened 10,000 Sq ft All You Can Eat Sushi and Hot Pot restaurant on 38th and 8th Avenue is a game changer for New Yorkers. The deco at this huge space with high ceiling is built beautifully offering spacious seatings. Three of us ordered three different broths and some sushi sashimi as well. Several sushi options are not included in AYCE package but I still ordered my favorite fishes such as Hokkaido uni, otoro and ikura which were surprisingly in great quality. AND they served complimentary fresh lobster per patron as the opening special highlight! Each broth was homemade with diligently selected fresh ingredients that we could taste its own individual characteristics. Meats, seafoods, vegetables everything we ordered were satisfying. One regret: they ran out of crab legs for the night which was one of main reasons to visit this restaurant. The good reason to come back for sure! Waiting staffs were super attentive and polite. Thanks especially to Rita who served our table for her hospitality!

I really wanted to like Raosu, since I was recommended by two of my foodie friends, but my experience was kind of mixed. For starters, they said it was really good value, but it seems like the price has now increased to $75/person. This is supposed to come with free beers and drinks. Unfortunately, I don't drink beer, so to me, it just seems like the price has increased by $15/person since they went. I also had the same exact experience as someone that came two months before me--ordered coriander meatballs when we sat down around 7:45pm on a Friday, proceeded to ask for them at least four more times, and never received them? We also ordered some extra seafood (e.g. scallops, abalone) around an hour in and had to keep checking with whoever we could grab. 40 minutes later, someone finally came back to the table and told us that they had run out for the night. At one of the servers eventually informed us, but it would have been nice if they could have done so before making us ask them over and over again if they could check on the status of the order. Never got word on the coriander meatballs though. We did leave feeling full, but I feel like there was a whole solid hour where we were just waiting for them to bring us the seafood we asked for, only to be told that a ton of what we ordered was gone for the day. For reference, we got there around 7:40pm and left at closing time at 10:30pm. I've never stayed so long at an AYCE hotpot before, but we really did spend a lot of time waiting outside of the initial order. Unfortunately, I don't think it was worth $75/person to me and I will not be returning.

Must order the the angus fatty beef is delicious. Seafood is very fresh especially the scallops. Yellowtail Jalapeño is not bad too. The price is acceptable; since it was in manhattan. The service was nice but there is room for better. It would be nice if they provide a bowl or sth for the table to remove the scum of fats on the surface of the hot pot.

Amazing service, ambience, and selection of food! :) Very kind and welcoming waiters. Drinks are amazing. This restaurant truly stands out, can't wait to come back here!

The interior of the restaurant is so spacious and beautifully decorated - it has to be one of the nicest hotpot places I've been to. The service was excellent and the waiters checked in on us quite frequently. I was under the impression that we could do hotpot only, but it was a combination of hotpot and sushi all you can eat and it was around ~$65 a person before tax and tip. It is a bit pricy but which hotpot place in nyc isn't? The spicy broth we got was very flavorful, while the herbal broth was a bit bland. The menu had a variety of options which was nice. I liked that desserts and drinks were included with the ayce. I tried the angus beef, angus fatty beef, fatty lamb, and pork belly, and I thought the meats were a bit tough. It would also be nice if the sauce bar had a few more options such as vinegar. Overall, I thought it was a really nice restaurant with friendly service, just wish the meat was softer

This is very nice hotpot restaurant in midtown! Very beautiful and mordant design and very clean! We order some sushi and sashimi first, it was soooo fresh! It really unexpected that fresh , better than a lot of sushi place. And the hot pot also very good! A lot of choice and all very fresh ! My friend love snow crab legs and they give you very good one. We can't stop eating ! The staffs are very nice and friendly, they always come over and ask if we need more food. I think this is one of the best hot pot place in New York! I will recommend this restaurant to anyone! Next time I will bring my friends here for birthday party!

Spontaneously ended up eating here with my roommates the other day while we were walking around. Wasn't disappointed! This restaurant has a fun and upscale vibe. Service was a little slow, and we were brought out the wrong order at first. But the staff was super friendly - and honored the free drink promotion that was on the menu even though it's apparently not valid anymore! And they even gave us a complimentary crab salad. I do think this place is on the pricier end, and I've had better in NYC, but overall for the location and vibes I'd come back!

Really gorgeous brand new Hotpot restaurant. It's all you can eat for a set price. $49 for hotpot or $69 to include sushi. There is also another $20 cost for the hotpot broth. The amount of food they bring out is absolutely worth the price. I really enjoyed the short rib and premium lamb with the spicy beef broth. The fried tofu was surprisingly delicious. Service was excellent. Definitely look forward to returning.

Visiting from out of town and was ecstatic to try some hot pot in the heart of Times Square. Things were going great until I realized they had forgotten a few items. I asked the server FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES for Chinese cabbage and coriander meatballs. Waited another 45 minutes and never got them. The server stopped coming to our table after the 4th time I asked. To make matters worse a large party sat down next to us and got the same exact items I had been asking for! It's a nice place, and who doesn't love an ayce deal? But just be prepared to be missing some items and nothing will be done about it.

Raosu Hotpot & Sushi was by far the best ayce hotpot I have ever had. It is $65 for ayce hotpot and sushi which is an incredibly deal because the hotpot ingredients are extremely high quality and the sushi rolls are made with fresh, high quality fish. You can choose up to four broths which is great if you want to sample different ones. I got the spicy oil which was delicious and the seafood which was much more mild (normally I just get spicy with hotpot so this broth was not anything special). The first thing I noticed about this place was the interior which felt very high end and the service was impeccable, especially for a hotpot and ayce restaurant. The servers were all attentive the whole time and I never had to wait more than a second to order or ask for something. They make sure you feel welcome and let you know you can order as much as you want and they do not rush you even though it is ayce. They would help hand me plates I couldn't reach across the table and also scooped the foam that comes to the surface of the broth. The ingredients were fresh and addition to being able to order anything on the menu (sushi, appetizers, hotpot), there was also two buffet style areas where they had smaller appetizers like cucumber salad, individual sushi rolls, hotpot skewers, and fruit. There is a supplemental menu for fancier hotpot ingredients like expensive crabs and wagyu. If you enjoy all you can eat restaurants, I highly recommend checking Raosu out.

Pricey but they have a lot of seafood options, ranging from different types of clams and there's even snow crab legs. There's also a cooked food. Everything was fresh. I also recommend the milky beef. The texture was soft and smooth. $50 per person and broth is $19.99 but you can choose up to 4 broths. It's better to go with more people. We had a free platter of sashimi for grand opening. But there's also an option for ayce sushi plus hot pot for $70 per person. Also the floor is very slippery so be careful.

Tried here with friends, had a great time! The servers were very nice and friendly and we really liked the meats. The sashimi tasted fishy and not super fresh but I think the highlight here is the hot pot. Loved that abalone and snow crab legs are included as part of all you can eat. We also loved the desserts here since they serve some desserts that aren't commonly seen in Chinese restaurants gere

Great place for a AYCE hot pot and sushi. You can get either just hot pot for $49.99 or you can get hot pot and sushi for $69.99. They also have 10 soup bases, which is more than I've seen elsewhere. You do have to pay an additional charge of $19.99 for the soup base per table. There's such a wide variety of meat options, seafood options, vegetables, sides, and appetizers. The quality of the meat was great, and the seafood was super fresh. I also loved that they gave you hot pot skewers so things like quail eggs can be put into the soup without being lost. The wait staff was super attentive, readily available for any needs. They gave us lobster and crab that you usually have to pay extra for on the house, and we got sashimi platters on the house as well Amazing experience; you definitely get your moneys worth, and the food is great quality.

This was our first hotpot experience and we loved it! We also had the sushi, which was delicious. Right in Midtown, it is perfect for a pre-show meal. We went after though as they were closing and there was definitely a rushed vibe. Everyone was still really friendly, but it was so good we are excited to go back and take our time and really enjoy the experience. We had the mushroom and medicinal broths and as pescatarians definitely preferred the mushroom over the other. We probably would not order the medicinal again.

I had an incredible dining experience at Raosu Hotpot and Sushi in NY! The food was simply amazing, and the service was top-notch. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, and they guided me through the menu with great expertise. The hotpot was a true delight! The wide variety of fresh ingredients and savory broths allowed me to create my perfect combination of flavors. Each bite was a burst of deliciousness, and I couldn't get enough of it. The sushi was an absolute masterpiece. The rolls were beautifully crafted, and the fish tasted incredibly fresh. I savored every piece, and the chef's attention to detail was evident in each bite. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and inviting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal with friends or family. The staff was attentive throughout the evening, ensuring that I had everything I needed. I can't say enough good things about Raosu Hotpot and Sushi. It's a must-visit for any food lover in NY. The combination of amazing food and top-notch service makes it an unforgettable dining experience. I'll definitely be back soon for more delightful culinary adventures!

Love the decor, staff are super attentive as well. The food is really tasty, my one complaint is that on the menu they put that Uni is part of the salmon flower, but the first time I came, they said they didn't have Uni and second time they said Uni is an additional charge.

Large portions of food, which is good Large space inside. But nothing else is special. The floor is somehow slippery and oily.

Beautiful restaurant, the service was quick, and the food was good! The amount of food you can order is wild, their selection is nice, but I wish the broth had alittle more flavor.
