J's Mini Hot Pot

J's Mini Hot Pot has never disappointed me. This place offers high quality ingredients, meats, and even wagyu! From a variety of broths to choose from and entrees, J's Mini Hot Pot delivers an exceptional hot pot experience. The waitresses are nice, efficient, and--most importantly--hospitable. With this duluth location being newly built last year (2023), the place is spectacular. The floor, table, interior decor, everything is new and shiny.Definitely a top 3 hot pot spot in Duluth!

Came here for lunch last week. We ordered the beef bone soup, herbal soup, clam and meat combo, seafood hot pot. Seafood and meat was fresh served on ice. I really like that. Presentation is beautiful as well. Portion wise is perfect and more than enough vegetables. I like my vegetables so it was great. Black milk tea with grass jelly was so good. I like that the teas were on mason jars with handles. Service was great; attentive; and quick to refill our soup base once we run out. Nicely renovated since I haven't been back here for few years. This is great portion hot pot. I was definitely stuffed to the max. Many choices on the menu. You can order a la carte if you only want to eat certain foods or picky. There are even vegetarian options.

I decided to challenge myself on a different style of food and I found this little place I believe so I can Chinatown in Georgia, but it was a very good experience. The hostess was sweet. She was awesome. She helped me prepare. She explained everything to me on the food process, had to get your food how to set things up what sauce add to certain flavors and she was just awesome, I recommend this place just for experience and really good deal. I like it and enjoyed it and it's good and highly recommended.

This is the OG mini hot pot spot in Duluth that will forever have a place in my foodie heart. I used to frequent here at least 1-2 times a week before I moved to the city. Nothing beats having your own individually made hot pot. The sauce bar (buffet style) makes for the best experience as you can mix your favorite sauce combo and pour it into your broth. I usually make myself a broth mix and a dipping sauce as well. There are a ton of premade sauces that you can go for if you aren't sure what to get! Recently renovated, I'm loving the clean new vibe. Pro tip and speaking from experience - don't wear a white tee! ;) Or if you do, definitely ask for one of their disposable aprons. Genius!

This place reopened since the COVID shut down and it's soooo beautiful inside! I did notice a 3-5$ increase in prices but still okay and worth the experience.We got chicken hot pot "combos" where it comes with chicken hot dogs, Napa cabbage, taro, potato, egg, mushroom, pickles, spinach, radish daikon, tofu in diff forms, potato noodles (clear) and lots of slices of chicken. You choose your broth and I chose vegetarian - $22-ish - 5/5 The sauce bar is where you can customize your dipping sauce very clean! They no longer give the shaved ice dessert at the end instead we were given a little yogurt drink like authentic hot places back home do! I will def be back again and again, customer service 5/5

A white girl and Korean walk into Chinese hot pot for the first time. This is how it panned out...Things you should know:I. PARKINGJ's Mini is within a plaza and shares a free private parking lot with the adjacent businesses. Easy. II. SERVICE We found solace in the gracious guidance of our waitress since we didn't know what the heck we were doing. To be honest, everything is labelled in a straightforward manner on the menu ~ it even tells you the cook times for the given ingredients! So helpful..! But we probably still ate things oddly, occasionally wrapping some of the cooked ingredients in the nappa cabbage as if we were at KBBQ. The middle section of the restaurant is the sauce bar--where bias meets bliss--the Korean sauce stole our taste buds. III. QUALITY Portions are massive. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure! Everything appeared & tasted fresh.IV. CAPACITY For a weekend night around 8pm, there was a modest wait for about 5 minutes to seat the two of us.

This is my FAVORITE hot pot place I've ever been to. The portions are generous, the waitstaff are attentive and kind, and the food is so fresh. I also love the house made spicy sauce. It's my favorite sauce I've ever had! I always get the beef bone broth and it is so hearty and flavorful. The fruit smoothies are freshly made and delicious as well. Whenever I'm in town I make it a point to come here.

Husband and I came here on a Wednesday night, luckily there was no wait but I could definitely see this place being packed on the weekends. We are average eaters and weren't able to finish our combo plates- husband got the angus brisket and pork belly combo and I got the fish + beef. Both combos came with gigantic vegetable platters (and were an excellent value). The only thing I would change the next time we visit is the soups we picked. The mushroom and tomato broths were nothing to write home about... will try the beef and Tom Yum next time!

We all got the beef. My son and husband got the beef bone broth. I got the miso broth. It comes with an assortment of veggies, tofu, noodles, fish ball etc. You can add all sorts of noodles, vegetables, meats, and seafood. The sauce bar is kept well stocked and tidy. The restaurant is comfortable and well lit. Service was nice. Great dinner experience on a cold day!

I've been dying to try this place. I love a great hot pot meal. They have a nice and clean atmosphere. The service was superior. We were attended at all times. I rate this place a 10/10. The food was of great quality and great flavor. They even refill your pot. We selected the beef bone broth, brisket and meatballs. This place was an hour away, but definitely worth the drive.
