Food: This is one of my favorite AYCE hot pot restaurants in NYC for its food quality and selection as well as ambiance. The price is $42.99 per person which includes meats, all other self-serve hot pot items, dessert, and one soft serve ice cream cone at the end of the meal. Meats are ordered from the staff. There are six different cuts of beef (ribeye, oyster blade, fatty beef, etc.), lamb, and chicken. Quality of the meats are excellent, and the presentation is nice. You can see a staff member slicing the meat fresh using a meat slicer in the back of the restaurant through a window. All other hot pot items are self-serve from their buffet bar. Items include many kinds of vegetables (watercress, tong ho, cabbage, kelp knots, lettuce, spinach, snow pea shoots, mushrooms, potato, taro, wood ear mushrooms, broccoli, Chinese yam, etc.), fish balls, fish roe balls, fish balls filled with salted egg yolk, beef balls, shrimp, mussels, squid, fish fillet, tripe, tofu, fried tofu skin rolls, and more. There is a section of noodles (egg noodles, udon, fresh noodles, and instant ramen). There are also sesame balls, fried mantou (buns) with condensed milk, fried dough sticks, and fried mochi with brown sugar. The selection is huge, and all items are fresh and good quality. There is also a section to build your own jelly dessert using fruit juices, syrups, boba, red bean, green bean, jellies, and other toppings. It's a refreshing dessert after having hot pot. Sauce bar is also great. Soup bases include spicy mala, pork bone, mushroom, or a combination of two. Each person has their own individual pot (no big pots). Service: Service is below average and has a lot of room for improvement. The server comes to take your initial soup base and meat order, but after that, it's hard to get someone's attention especially after they get busier. Empty and dirty dishes aren't collected too frequently. Water isn't refilled unless you ask someone to. Food comes out quickly after ordering. We brought a birthday cake to cut and eat at the end of our meal (which the restaurant said they are happy to do without an additional charge). The birthday cake was brought out before any dishes were cleared. I started to move our dirty dishes to the next table (which was our table as well for our large group), but the staff members still didn't help clear the dishes even after seeing me clear the dishes myself. Service could be a lot better! Ambiance: The ambiance is excellent. The place is well-lit, and the decor is beautiful. Good for both small and large groups. The seating and tables are very comfortable. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Chichi Hotpot in Flushing is a gem for hotpot enthusiasts and anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by modern and stylish decor. The service at Chichi Hotpot is exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making sure that all our needs were met promptly. They took the time to explain the menu and provided great recommendations based on our preferences. The food itself was outstanding. The variety of fresh ingredients available for the hotpot was impressive, from premium meats and seafood to a wide array of vegetables and noodles. Each item was of high quality and beautifully presented. The broths were flavorful and rich, catering to a range of tastes, from spicy to mild, ensuring that everyone in our group was satisfied. One of the highlights of our visit was the sauce bar, which allowed us to create custom dipping sauces to enhance the flavors of our hotpot. The selection was vast, and it was fun experimenting with different combinations. The overall dining experience at Chichi Hotpot was memorable and delightful. The combination of excellent service, top-notch ingredients, and a comfortable ambiance makes it a standout spot in Flushing. I highly recommend Chichi Hotpot to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and immersive hotpot.

I ordered the Chef's Creamy Pork Broth and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! I love a creamy and rich broth so when I saw that they offered a creamy version of my go to pork broth I was so excited. I would come back here just for their creamy pork broth.

Best hot pot in Flushing! I came here by recommendation of a friend who prides herself as a hotpot connoisseur, and instantly loved this place so much. The variety and quality of ingredients is just unbeatable, and I really enjoyed the creamy pork broth. They also have many tasty breads, refreshing pudding desserts, and a matcha soft serve in case you have a little room left at the end of your extremely delicious and filling meal. It is worth noting that this place is pricier than many alternative hotpot shops, but I think that the price is worth the quantity and quality.

This place had a great variety of sides and sauces for your hot pot. The meat selection was good. Downside was when we were there a lot of things were not labeled which can be dangerous due to those with potential allergies. Service was good for the first half but then our waiter disappeared but the wait staff did pick up and was helpful. The place had plenty of seating with various size of table to accommodate bigger parties. Street or garage parking available near by. Overall I think this place is a good solid choice if you are in the area.

Amazing service, Yen (manager/waitress) did a fantastic job. Was very understanding of our first time at a hotpot, and welcoming into the Chinese culture. Helped us at every turn without being asked. Always ready and attentive. Amazing food and atmosphere aswell. Definitely going again.

If I could insert a gif of Oprah with the quote, "and you get a hotpot and you get a hotpot!" it'd go here. Everybody gets their own hotpot! Now for the Broth. Spicy with bone broth and Bone broth with tomato were pretty good. Next time, I want to try sukiyaki. As for the A La carte premium options I think the beef tongue is the only one I'd recommend. The "Wagyu" I would pass on this. $35 add on and this was really not great. Beef tongue, though, is 10/10. It was an ample portion. The AYCE beef favorite that I'd highly recommend: Beef prime. It's the most tender. We tried a lot of meat types. Variety in the buffet bar gets a 10/10: Quail eggs, winter melon, pea leaves, taro, beef tripe brown natural type, fish cake, imitation crab, shrimp, Duck blood fun pudding texture, sesame balls, and fried buns. Amazing variety. I'd come back for this buffet bar. Dessert bar is also a 10/10: Fresh dragon fruit, mangoes, ice jelly, osmanthus syrup, coconut milk, pan Dan jelly, soft serve with a cute panda! Amazing fruit choices: The freshest pineapples from honey glow. There are cantaloupe and mangoes. I even saw the chef peeling FRESH lychees! I'm not sure what they were for but it's still so neat. Sauces: Housemade old fashioned Beijing sauce, shrimp sa cha, and fried garlic are all fantastic options. But again these are totally up to you and your personal taste. Service 10/10 Dedicated server for each section. Super attentive. Best service in a AYCE hot pot. Ridesharing here was the go to option.

This ice cream is so good. You really need to come for this ice cream. The food is amazing too and the staff is very attentive and helpful.

Wow, what an experience! We had a couple of novice friends join us and it was probably the best experience for people that had bad hotpot experiences in the past. Only the broth and the meat are ordered by wait staff, so anything else you add is based on how much you pick out from the ingredients area. Meat was good quality, sliced before served. We went on the weekend and reserved earlier, so no wait time and very smooth experience. Our friends absolutely loved the food, service and the spot. All in all, 10/10!

Had a review draft from this place from a long time ago that was never posted, this used to be one of my top hot pot places to go in flushing, but quality went down with it being AYCE now. Make reservation before you go! It's a popular dinner spot. Staff is friendly and the food is decent. You can refill the side dishes, but the options were kinda average. Everyone gets their own pot which is good and pick your own broth. The ingredients are in the front but meat you'll need to order on the side. The ice cream is cute at the end!
