Kung Fu Hot Pot

Lots of variety (vegetables, beef, seafood) to add to the hot pot! Really liked the beef and variety of vegetables to add in.Server was also super nice and friendly.

The food is awesome and very tasty. It doesn't look all that big in the refrigerators they have, but it definitely expands. We tried the shrimp and crawfish. Not the best it was a little gritty. The beef rolls, lamb rolls and meatballs were great. The service was excellent, they took dirty dishes quickly and made sure our drinks were full. They were friendly also as we had never been here before and they explained how it worked. One of the only hard things was finding parking. It on street and metered so a little challenging.

Best place for AYCE hot pot in the cities!I attended their grand opening and I just keep coming back! The service is always nice and I love the self serve aspect. You grab your little tray and pick from a variety of choices! (Meat/fish/veggies) There's also a little sauce bar with so many options.Soo worth visiting especially during a cold winter day. It will def warm you up. :D

Hot pot is a new experience for me. My friend brought us here for all-you-can-eat hot pot and showed me the ropes. A simple concept - a ring on the table heats the pot of broth. Into the broth, you pour in stuff to cook. And when it's cooked, you pull it out and eat.We opted for two broths - beef and tomato. And then it's time to load up a bowl from the coolers. Different frozen meats including chicken, beef, meatballs, octopus, crawfish. A second cooler with veggies including onions, mushrooms, peppers and the like. There are also a few different types of noodles available.Yes, it's all you can eat. They will refill the broth as needed and they will bring more rice. It's delicious and you can absolutely get your money's worth here. Yum![Review 20734 overall - 145 in Minnesota - 1716 of 2023.]

Our first ever hot pot experience surely didn't disappoint! Our waiter was very polite and had a wonderful attitude. It created a very welcoming atmosphere right off the bat! Lots of food options and it was all SO delicious and fun! This is a MUST for anyone looking to enjoy an extravagant and unique meal. I will absolutely return!

I feel like I'm always in the mood for hot pot no matter the temperature, so even on a 80 degree day I decided to visit. They have an all you can eat option which is hard to find in the cities. It's self-service for the food, so you can easily get as much as you'd like from the coolers and the sauce bar. The broths themselves are SO GOOD which if anyone who has done hot pot before knows that's essential. We loved the spicy beef tallow broth. The meat was fresh and the fatty beef I think was the best. Definitely unassuming in the heart of uptown. Service was friendly as well and waters were always filled.

Overall, this is a pretty decent AYCE hot pot option and is basically one of three in the Twin Cities (everywhere else is a la carte). I love the variety of options available and the fact that you can grab your own ingredients and dictate how much you want of each. The sauce bar is also pretty nice.I've been twice, and service is okay (pretty hands off) and the place has been decently clean, but I have gone during slower times. People do drop things but it gets picked up. Honestly, I don't expect stellar service from places like these- it fits the 3.5 stars for Chinese restaurants theory on Tik Tok. Take that how you will but I'll definitely be back.

Had a lovely family dinner here on a Monday evening. Service was phenomenal, really attentive and educational. Helped guide through the menu and hot pot options. The self service area seemed well cleaned and maintained. It was a Monday too, so generally quieter. Priced really well too. We got half spicy half original - the spicy broth was absolutely amazing. We could make our own sauce too, but I almost felt like it wasn't needed. Overall a wonderful experience, and where I plan to come next time I'm in the mood for hotpot.

Kung Fu Hotpot is a new gem in uptown, and a very welcome addition to the currently stark hotpot landscape in the Twin Cities. It's in the same space that Szechuan Spice was, and the menu still includes dishes beyond hotpot. It's not totally clear if this is a concept refresh or an entirely new restaurant, though all the decor and seating is very clearly brand new and nice. it's softly-lit by paper lanterns and lights and is an all-around cozy atmosphere. The hotpot is priced all you can eat at $36.99 per adult for dinner (there are child and weekday lunch specials), and for that price you can choose up to two broths and get full reign over the self-serve ingredient fridges and sauce station. There's a wide range of different meats including the classic beef slices hotpot is known for, plenty of veggies like bok choi and mushrooms, noodles and tofu, plus a surprisingly strong seafood selection including blue crabs, crawfish, and baby octopus. For the price, the ingredients definitely deliver in breadth and quality. if it's your first hotpot experience the sauce station can be a bit intimidating, but this is a key part of getting the most out of the experience. I'd start with either a vinegar and oyster sauce or a peanut sauce base and add garlic and other seasonings from there, but the staff is also friendly and I'm sure would guide you to make a good sauce if asked. I've gone twice and gotten both classic and spicy broths each time. Both have had rich and complex flavors both times, and you'll want both--if only to cool off from the spice from time to time. They also have a solid boba menu if you want to cool off even more. Overall, I'm super happy to have Kung Fu Hotpot in the city, and think it's a great option for a first hotpot experience or if you're a seasoned veteran. It's definitely pricier than the average dinner, but for me the range of flavors and experience of cooking communally is worth it. I can't wait to come back in the winter and look out at the lake street holiday lights while staying warm in a cloud of hotpot steam.

The food here is incredible!! I was so happy when it first opened to have a hot pot spot close by in uptown and now I'm honestly convinced it's the best in the twin cities. The spicy beef tallow is my favorite soup base, but the standard broth is also great especially if you don't do spice!! They have lots of great options for the add-ins and it's all always super fresh every time we come. The service is also super great and the owner is very kind!! They do this fun game right now where you get to roll dice for a chance to win a discount it's a very fun way to end a nice meal especially with a group of friends. It's also good for a date night and Up Down is right next door for entertainment afterwards!! Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone it's fantastic!!!
