Zu Hot Pot

I love this hot pot spot. Not cheap, but the food is well worth the money. Very fresh and presents well. Not fancy or bougie at all. Go wearing whatever and find your new comfort food.

We've been here twice within a month timeframe. Once like on a Saturday evening and it got busy quick. I would say it's small as the amount of tables their were. I think it's a family own place and it seems like the son was working front of the house and he was very nonchalant about doing things from our observation. It didn't affect our meal though.We also came here on a Sunday as soon as they opened. My girlfriend wanted some warm soup because it's been pretty chilly lately. We were the first people there and it slowly had people trickling in. It was a different atmosphere here than the previous time we were here. I would say it was more professional as it was adults working front of the house.The restaurant itself is not the newest, the interior is a little dated, and the tables were old... But the soups are really good.My girlfriend ordered the Chinese Herb and I got the Taiwanese Sacha both times. I got mine spicy and it was the right amount of heat for me where you got the heat and still flavorful.You can order meats and veggies to put in your soup. You can make you own sauces at the sauce bar. I personally like a lot of garlic, sesame sauce, and green onions. Also a variation using peanut sauce.Both times we were here the soups were really good. I don't think there is another hot pot style like this in the ABQ area.It can get pricy if you keep ordering protein sides.We like it this spot, but coming from the bay area of Cali there are a lot of all you can eat hot pot spots for cheaper if you order a lot of protein and sides.Overall this is a good place to try hot pot. It's not new and fancy, but you'll enjoy the food.

We love Zu Hot Pot. Our daughter introduced us to this place and it's become a favorite. I will say, it's a little pricey, but everything is so fresh and tasty.

Loved this place! So much food and fun. You must use the sauce bar to add flavor and it was delicious and fun. Get whatever ingredients you like and the servers explain ideal cooking time but it's awesome to cook things to your own preference. It's very DIY your own meal and I love this unique concept in a sea of standard menus. It's very casual and the staff is great. Their tea is also amazing if you like jasmine.

Hot pot is so perfect for wintry days! The different broth options are so flavorful, and I love the Taiwanese sacha in particular. There are a good number of options for food, but portions are fairly small. Service is always great here, and I also love the build-your-own sauce bar!

Came back here with my fiancé because he felt like a cold rainy spring day is a perfect day for hotpot. It was indeed :) Love the many options you could choose from, ingredients and sauces. I love how the young lady was very helpful and friendly. It's a cozy but pretty big establishment. I'm glad I went back!

The food was great! The price was not bad at all. Three of us costed about $69, we had 3 choices if protein the vegetables plate and two types of broth with 3 sides of rice. We did not have to get seconds and left the restaurant pretty damn satisfied. The service was great and timely. And the ambiance was pretty calming. It's quiet and very ma and pa shop. I would definitely be back and this time, order MILD spicy hahaha

We just love this place where you choose the vegetables and meat that you cook yourself in a hot pot. I like the Korean kimchi boiling pot. There are other flavors available. I like the thin rice noodles, both kinds of mushrooms, and the shaved beef. They only take a few minutes to cook. The small ears of corn somehow just do not fly. Skip them. The chicken and shrimp are good too. The Chinese Broccoli was a disappointment. They have a condiment bar with various sauces. My favorite is the peanut sauce. You can go as mild or as bold as you want. This place should drive on your "Go to place"!

Great service and the fried mushrooms are the best! I don't live close have to travel across town but It is always worth it my friend likes to come in from Los Lunas to eat there.

The service is great but we were surprised at how high the prices are. We went in for lunch and were shocked at the final bill! We will not be returning due to the excessive cost.
