"This is our go-to spot for a classic hot pot experience in Austin. Start by choosing one of five broths (you can also mix them), then begin a 120-minute countdown to take full advantage of the experience. Soupleaf operates on an all-you-can-eat model, which will become abundantly clear after your second and third trip to the self-serve bar full of fresh vegetables, seafood, and dumplings. Meats are ordered à la carte (but still included in the price), and they arrive on a multi-tiered food stand that makes the meal seem a little more regal. This place can get pretty busy during nights and weekends, but you can make reservations ahead of time to avoid another evening of soupless sadness." - nicolai mccrary
"Soupleaf is a buffet-style hot pot experience in the Crescent shopping center next to 99 Ranch. Start by choosing one of five broths (you can also mix them), then begin a 120-minute countdown to take full advantage of the experience. Most of the seafood, dumplings, and vegetables are self-serve, but all of the meats are ordered à la carte (but still included in the price). This place can get pretty busy during nights and weekends, but you can make reservations ahead of time to avoid another evening of soupless sadness." - nicolai mccrary
"Interactive meals make dinner more interesting, and that is what this hot pot spot offers. The shiitake broth is vegetarian, and diners may choose from a host of seasonal veggie options to build flavor. The indoor dining room is sparsely decorated with many hanging red lanterns and large, comfy booths, which are usually packed — though there are some solo seats at the bar." - Erin Russell

We like the tonkotsu broth for something rich, or the mala when we want some of that Sichuan kick. Choose a broth, grab whatever looks good from the buffet, and order a few meats. If you’re not sure how long to cook something, one of the waiters can give you pointers." - Nicolai McCrary
"It’s right there in the name: this Cantonese all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant in Highland has really great base soups, like the spicy mala or the flavorful miso dashi. Add in the unlimited buffet with noodles, seafood, vegetables, etc., plus a la carte meats, and you’ve got the best deal for a very warm meal. There are indoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
