All-you-can-eat hot pot with unique broths & decor
"This Flushing spot in the New World Mall serves AYCE hot pot for around $50 per person. Sodas and juices are included in the price, and there’s a bar inside with unlimited starters like noodle dishes and dim sum. The sprawling restaurant looks like a palace, with long red curtains, columns, and huge lanterns. Try the “spicy bear” broth—the sichuan pepper-filled broth comes with an edible butter sculpture of a bear." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
"Outdoor hot pot on a roof sounds like a dream we once had when we fell asleep on the C train. But it’s real, at least when you go to Xiang Hot Pot. This Flushing spot’s heated patio is located on top of the New World Mall, and their AYCE hot pot costs around $50 per person. It’s a bit more expensive than other options in this city, but perhaps that’s what you get when you’re living a dream. Also, sodas and juices are included in the price and there’s a bar inside with unlimited starters like noodle dishes and dim sum. Try the broth called “spicy bear” - the Sichuan-pepper-filled broth comes with an edible bear sculpture made out of butter." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
"The Flushing location of this restaurant is hidden inside the popular New World Mall, and it sports tiered lanterns and greenery running through the zen-like interior. The “spicy bear” broth – a Sichuan pepper-based broth bobbing with an edible bear sculpture made out of butter – and the tomato broth are popular. The shrimp paste and shrimp dumplings have also garnered rave reviews here. The pandemic put an end to the all-you-can-eat option, but diners can opt for a membership, where a gift card essentially works as a debit card with each order reduced by one dollar. Xiang also has a Borough Park, Brooklyn, outpost (and new locations coming soon to Los Angeles and Houston)." - Caroline Shin
"A New York–based hot pot chain with locations in Brooklyn and Queens is planning a Chicago outpost at an undisclosed site. The menu emphasizes both classic and nontraditional hot pot ingredients, asking diners to choose from three soup bases — special spicy pot, house special spicy beef dripping pot, or a two‑pot combo (options such as Sanxian, tomato, mushroom, or butter) — and offering proteins (beef, pork, chicken), seafood (shrimp, squid, scallops), tofu, mushrooms and rarer items like fish heads, ox tripe, bone marrow and wild bamboo fungus. The concept is also known for a distinctive gimmick: edible teddy bears made with mala soup and butter that slowly melt into the broth. The brand touts peppers hand‑picked above 3,000 meters and, founded in 2003, is expanding to additional U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Houston and Las Vegas; timing and the Chicago location have not yet been announced." - Naomi Waxman
"A Flushing hot pot spot known for live performances and stock that looks like a teddy bear opened a Sunset Park location." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
