So for clarification, I should say that this is the only place I've had Hotpot. That said I can't compare it to a similar place but I can say that this is a fantastic meal and an enjoyable experience!The first thing to note is you can get a free milk tea with a yelp check in! It was very tasty so don't miss out. The ambiance is nice enough and the table set up is smart. You get 1 broth per person but can order extras if you want. I've tried all the base flavors here and for me the original is the best. It imparts just the right spice and flavor into your food! This was a lunch visit, which is cheaper but comes with less options to choose from. A good middle ground. I do love the beef tongue from the dinner menu though. After placing an order for some beef belly and lamb, as well as some fried gyoza, we headed to the salad bar to get our veggies and some noodles. I like the sauce bar, it can be fun to customize, but we're on the clock and I don't always want to spend time here. Some pre-made sauce mixes could be a nice addition. When you do make your sauce, I like the pungent garlic and soy mix. Our meats came out quickly and we started preparing our food. Be warned, this can get messy. There will be splashing! Everything is great here and I found the service to be pretty attentive and quick. This was another great visit here! Again, I can't compare, but this seems like a top notch experience to me. Highly recommended!

For the suburbs, hot pot at this place is not bad. What I like is the large variety of appetizers, veggie, fruit, and sauce buffet bar which is similar to the AYCE in the city. The meat quality is ok here but where are you going to find better in the area other than making it yourself at home?Broth flavor is not as intense as the ones in Chicago, but that's probably good because of less sodium. This is a fun spot for big gathering and kids because they can choose what they want to eat and participate in the cooking.Service is friendly, but occasionally need to flag down their attention to order more meats before the 2 hour limit is up.Makes me happy to see more and more Asian pop up and doing well in the suburbs outside of Chicago!

This is one of my go-to local hotpot spots. There are so many options for hotpot ingredients, and the broths are also pretty good (my favorite being the Szechuan, 10/10!) I also feel like the pricing was reasonable, and the service was good. I did recently try the sushi here and I feel it was just okay. The signature rolls here were good, but everything else for the sushi menu was just alright. However, I 100% recommend the hotpot here!

Hotpot is perfect for a chilly weather. The service is great! No issues with parking.Now for the food. My favorite broth is the Original which has just a kick of spicy in it. There were 2 of us and we each got our own bowl. So we had the Original and Tomato broth.The quality of meat is good. I actually like that they bring out few sfuff at a time to make sure it doesnt go to waste. The veggies are buffet market table style so you can just go to the buffet station and grab what you want. Add $10 and you also get their all you can eat sushi. Iam definitely coming back!Happy eating!

Galaxy Hotpot & Sushi is out of this world delicious. We opted for the all you can eat hotpot, although you can also do sushi, for an additional $10. When it comes to hotpot, it's all about that base (no treble) according to Meghan Trainor, and I agree. You have a choice of five bases :1. Original 2. Tomato3. Mushroom4. Chinese herbal5. Thai tom yum6. SzechuanSince we rolled 7-deep, we went with one of each. My least favorite was the tomato, the best was the Szechuan. I'm not a super spicy person, and I was able to handle the heat. We got all sorts of meat, including lamb, scallops, brisket, amongst other things, and they were all great. They have a sauce bar where there are all sorts to choose from, many veggies, and desserts. For the sauce, I usually go with a sesame sauce base, garlic, and lots of scallions. The veggies were good too. The strawberry custard was great.Service was fantastic. Overall, a great dining experience.BATHROOM REVIEW: There are two bathrooms. One located on each side of the dining area (the restaurant is in a U-shape). The bathrooms are single-people bathrooms. Inside, it was surprisingly clean. Everything was in working order. I enjoyed my time in there. Sit or squat? Sit!

Returned to galaxy hot pot. Was wonderful. I tried the sushi for the first time it was delicious. They served some really nice tuna lived the ratio . I also tried the Californian roll perfect fresh avocado, or salmon and cream cheese.My favorite was the spicy Tom Yum stock. I really enjoyed the Lotus for it the churro, the Ramen, excellent potstickers, and the kombucha Japanese squash. I loved the kelp and the wood ear mushrooms . The condiment bar was wonderful, but had a big array of different sauces and vinegar, fresh garlic jalapeño a variety of hot sauces, peanut sauce, sesame sauce, sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, jalapeño you just use your imagination and go to town. Lots of good flavors.This is my third event I've been to. I really enjoyed it Keisha who is our community manager really goes all out and finds wonderful places to try. If you haven't had hot pot definitely give it a try the prices really good they have a lot of different proteins. brisket is one of my favorites .

We think we have found the cure for hunger!We found it at @galaxy.hotpot in Deerfield!An unassuming AYCE Hot Pot and Sushi Restaurant in a strip mall at the Shoppes of RiverwoodsFirst, you order your soup base, your meats, seafood, and sushi (if you choose to) from your server.It's a very large selection with lots to choose from. Then, you go into the next room to select your own vegetables, noodles, sauces, and dessert. Everything is full of Flavor, Flair, and Fun!It's a restaurant we can guarantee you will come out lethargically full.We really enjoyed our Dinner here, and will definitely be back!

s/o to fellow yelpie, Jane V. who inspired me to try this north suburban lowkey establishment. It was truly fantastic from start to finish!for a weekend evening, it wasn't too crowded and had less than an hour wait time. I was astonished at the concept of grabbing all your own sides! Disappointed they ran out of rice cakes that night but everything else was so so good!Everything was fresh. We thought we could do sushi but hotpot was more than enough. We did end up trying a free maki roll that comes with Yelp check-in! It was very tasty but also very filling. I'd suggest to stick to one or the other instead of trying to do both. It's so much food!Tried their Szechuan broth and their herbal broth and all were great tasting with all of our chosen meats and sides (veggies, noodles, etc). Everything was extremely affordable for the quantity and quality ! Really great spot!

A visit to Galaxy Hotpot & Sushi requires invoking descriptive words of time and space....Your mission if you choose to accept it is this: to enjoy various meats, vegs, shrooms and noodles cooked in a broth of your choosing. I selected Original (pungent mix of herbs and spices) while my companion selected Mushroom (milder). The restaurant is a modern space with cooktops on the table. It's an AYCE price of $29.99 for adults with $9.99 extra for AYCE sushi. If you check in on Yelp you get a free maki. With six different broths, meats from prime Beef to pork to chicken to octopus and a buffet of fresh vegs, greens and sauce gar, the combinations are Infinite. Our service was stellar and cheerful. We walked in without reservations one evening (reservations taken only for large parties on Yelp) and were seated immediately. There was a large party in the back room and several other groups.This is out-of-this-world fun. Prices are reasonable for AYCE and our orders came out quickly. Warning: clean your plate -- you are warned that you will be charged if you leave lots of food uneaten. (Eat! Eat!) I did not see wagyu on the menu as one reviewer mentioned. I didn't see pork belly on the menu although pork is an option. This is a solid choice for some hot pot action. If you can get here early, do it. As we were leaving almost all of the tables were full.
