Coco Hot Pot

Beef Chow fun was tasty and delicious. The restaurant inside looks amazing and the ambiance was welcoming. The server was helpful in explaining their menu. And actually gave us the idea to get the beef chow fun. Overall will be coming back again to eat in.

Thanksgiving lunch 2024. Small family group of four of us. Note: Coco Hot Pot does not take reservations for Thanksgiving day; it's first come first serve. It was not crowded when we arrived around 2 pm, but apparently they just recovered from a huge opening rush that had people waiting to be seated. On one side of the restaurant there's hot pot tables (burner in the middle for your broth), and the other side is regular wooden table for people that want regular dishes and/or dim sum only. We got seated right away at a hot pot table because we wanted to get stuff from both menus. There daily dim sum offering is on a separate paper menu that you mark down how many servings you want of whatever tickles your fancy. Our server Kwan was fantastic! This was my parents first time for hot pot, and he did a great job explaining the process, what the sauce bar was all about, and how to order from their dim sum menu. We picked their mushroom broth, which I liked. For protein, we got the Supreme Beef & Lamb Combo for hot pot. Meats were displayed on a separate board (beef on one end, lamb opposite). Loved the assortment of veggies that come along; also liked that those veggies are served separately from the meat so it makes it easier to pick and choose what you want to eat.It was a super fun experience. I've done hot pot one other time many years ago, and I would make the same one suggestion for here, too: Wish there were dividers given to put in the broth to make it easier to ascertain which items are yours after dropping them in the liquid; it's hard to keep an eye on your very-thin beef shaves because it sinks before floating and easily gets pushed and mixed around. The dim sum was absolutely delicious! I got a few of the same things I got on my last (1st) visit, and shared a few new dishes. Their Black Truffle Siu Mai were excellent! Fantastic mushroom flavor, and each were big and filling. I highly recommend those, mmmm. Also loved the Crispy Minced Pork Dumplings! A thin fried outside around a bao-like wrapping, with minced pork and I think Kwan said mushrooms. I think Coco's is a new favorite. Their menus are full with a lot of flavors and dishes to pick from. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. There's plenty of free parking, and in my experiences, staff are friendly helpful and efficient. I'll definitely be returning to try more!

This restaurant was really pretty on the inside with a large fish tank and beautiful lights. The smell of the hot pots was absolutely incredible but I was on a mission for some dim sum, and that's what we got. It was a family affair so our choices were definitely impacted by whether or not our six year old would be into them. We got a couple kinds of pork buns, one fried and one steamed (the fried ones were chewy like mochi but crisp on the outside), an order of the siu mai, scallion pancake, a shrimp/pork bun and then a pig shaped steam bun filled with coconut for like, dessert I guess lolDon't miss their sauce bar omg, especially their house blend. It's one of the tastiest dipping sauces I've encountered in a minute. But let me tell you, I'm already planning my next visit to do the whole hot pot deal because again, the SMELL it haunts meAlso our server was an absolute delight, she was so precious and totally helped me steer my kid away from a boba drink in total parent solidarity (high five, fellow mom). We loved her. And I think we met the owners as we were leaving, since my kiddo had to check out the fish tank again, and they seemed darling too. 10/10, will be back!!

I ordered take out from here and it was very delicious! I've heard great things for a while but hadn't had the chance to check it out until today. I ordered the chili dumplings, soup dumplings, and cucumber salad. It was all amazing like I said. I am excited to come back and have it in person.

Okay for my latest visit I came with folks who were from the Chengdu region in China, and they knew what to order in terms of the schezwan dishes. The food was good, but they felt that the schezwan dishes were not as authentic as Chilispot. I don't know if the restaurant was having an off-day but I too liked the pork belly and the water spinach more than the schezwan dishes. Hopefully, it was a one off and will be back to try other options. The ambiance is nice although a little loud.

Fall is here and get yourself ready for the Hot Pot season. As a Hot Pot lover, I am here to sum up the Hot Pot options here in Columbus for you. Either you are first timer or a regular, I hope this would help you navigate around the local Hot Pot spot.Here come Coco Hot Pot out at Bethel Road. I had been here awhile back for their regular menu, but haven't try their Hot Pot before. If it is your first time, you can rest assure as their Hot Pot menu is filled with picture and listed out the step for you to order. They offer both option for mini pot and big pot. If you are with a big group, I highly recommend to pick the big pot and you can choose up to 4 different broth. Moving into the food, you can select from their combo option or create your own. Other than the typical Hot Pot option, they also have some special offering such as shrimp paste and handmade pork or beef cilantro ball.Once you order the food, time to go mix up a bowl of dipping sauce. Their sauce bar option is fairly extensive. If you looking for some inspiration, they also have a list of recommended sauce mixes for you if you not sure where to start. Look out at the left corner of the sauce bar, a little pot of taro sago dessert is hidden there.If you are looking for an extensive selection from the food to sauces, Coco Hot Pot maybe the fit for you. Outside from their Hot Pot menu, they offer a full set of Chinese dish menu along with bubble tea as well.

The waiter asked me what soup base I wanted and I said, "Teddy bear **uwu eyes**." They told me that is not a soup base. It's an add-on. Now u kno.Anyway, Coco is probably the best hotpot place in Columbus. I love the selection they offer; they have some of my favorite ingredients, including ye ol' reliable beef, but also tofu skin, enoki mushroom, fish, and SHRIMP PASTE!!! The broths + teddy bears also taste very good and I don't even usually like hot pot broths very much.Service is efficient (ty for putting up with my limited Mandarin), food presentation is pretty, and the interior is clean and spacious.The main downside is that eating at Coco's does unfortunately get Quite pricey :/ But I think worth it if you want nice hotpot in Columbus!

First time here and had a wonderful experience. The place was very clean and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They had a great fantastic variety of food and everything was very delicious!

I have been eager to try Coco Hotpot for the past few years, and finally got around to it this evening. While it's an impressive display of colorful food, it was much less than I expected. With no direction from the waiter (even though he knew we were first timers) we had no idea of how to combine the right sauces at the condiment buffet. Some of the condiments/sauces tasted like old oil, clearly super old or bad quality. Probably both. We also didn't realize how much we were ordering! He should have warned us. In fact, it seemed like he could care less about our experience. The "soups" to cook the food were bland. We had 3 - chicken, mushroom and the spicy one at medium). The chicken was shaved so thin it almost broke apart picking it up. Thankfully it cooked fast and tasted like what it was. . The beef was ok for " house beef". It was so hard to get any real flavor without over salting things. Even the salt didn't work. The best part of this experience was the company and having 2+ hours of conversation and laughs. Go for the conversation with a good friend and maybe to have some of their prepared foods. The dumpling appetizer was very good! Between the two of us. And no alcohol, our total was $128!! Tip included in total. #nonexttimeforme
