Nan Hot Pot

Another great hot pot joint. +wide selection +sauce bar +sesame paste (lol) +box for jackets+authentic+spicy+lambWe ordered the half and half of course. We ordered the spicy side as medium spicy, and it was a Sichuan amount of spicy peppers. The soup itself wasn't super spicy at first, but after cooking for about 20 minutes, it was intense, and I consider myself to have fairly high spice tolerance. So you should probably be a bit careful if you're not confident in your abilities. Even the pig trotters were surprisingly spicy. The umami was excellent, delicious. Red velvet dessert was good. I didn't think the flavor was super impressive, but this isn't a dessert place, and it was a perfect contrast to the spicy hotpot. The decorations and overall design are probably set up to give the feeling of being outside a small eatery in Chengdu in the evening. Unfortunately, hearing Mariah Carey tell me what she wants for Christmas detracted from the atmosphere a tad, but I won't dock a star for it lol.

Although they states they close at 11pm, but their last call is 9:30pm. For a hotpot place which is not all you can eat, it is quite early. Parking is free.They are a little pricey, avoid the big ice cream deserts. They now have a membership system which will reward you 10% each time, remember to use them.Very unique hot pot place, but not every dish is good.

One of the best hotpot in Seattle. It's the traditional Sichuan type of hotpot so a lot of the meats come very spicy already. I recommend to have mild spicy for your soup base.I recommend to get their spicy beef, shrimp paste, tendon and fried rice. The spicy beef is super tender and flavorful. We got the mango shaved ice for dessert and it was perfect after having spicy and heavy hotpot.

One thing I love about this place is that there are pretty unique options that I wouldn't usually see at a hot pot place, like konjac noodles or beef tongue. The prices are pretty decent for hot pot as well, especially if you go during happy hour ($3 lamb??). The sauce bar is pretty good too! If you like spicy, get the spicy broth. They might lower the heat on the pot as time passes but I'd recommend keeping it going strong since with low heat, the spicy oil clings more readily to the food and it's a different kind of spicy. Would get again:- beef tongue - lamb- fish- shrimp- potato noodles (but don't leave it in for too long)- enoki mushrooms Would not get again:- Spicy beef (too thick)- Yam (takes too long)- squid (too fishy)

This was my first hot pot. It was very yummy, but my base was too spicy for me. I think next time I'll skip that base. Great flavor. Just too spicy for me personally. We ordered fried rice. That was super delicious in addition to the hot pot. The biggest takeaway was the customer service. Staff is very kind and welcoming. Thank you for great customer service. There is a lot of parking as it is a mall. I wish it was easier to access as a disabled person, but we made it work!

Place: the place is so cute! Very clean. When you walk in your greeted with lots of seating but I'm sure this place gets packed quite easily. It's bright and the decorations are cute. Ambiance is casual nothing too serious which is nice.Service: the service is wonderful! From the very first step you take all the way to your seat. The host greets you, takes you to your seat and acclimates you with their system. It's also very nice that we were given some favorites of theirs. The waitstaff was also very nice! And very personable! I wish I got her name but we had this lady with blue hair and she was so fun and nice! She checked on us constantly and even made small talk which made us feel welcome!Food: the broth we got was the pork rib brother and the spicy broth MILD. Let me tell you, the spicy broth is spiiiiicyyyy!!! But it was sooooo good i I couldn't stop dipping my food in it! The rib broth was also delish! The meat was good, veggies were also delicious.Overall I recommend this place if you are into hotpot. The prices were fair and the food portions are great.

I was intrigued by this place as I walk by here multiple times. They definitely need to update their hours and stuff on yelp and Google as it's not accurate. Also, reservations is recommended.We had a group of 5 and made reservations for 11:30am. The place does get busy. Food:3 flavor hot pot: tomato, pork, and mushroom. They were all pretty distinct and flavorful but mushroom was the lightest while tomato was heaviest in terms of flavor.We got fish, lamb, beef, tofu, bean curds, noodles, mushrooms and napa cabbages. They were all a good amount for the price and it was good in terms of quality. Definitely lunch special deals are worth it.We also got the mango dessert and unfortunately didn't think that was worth it. For $22, the portion and quality wasn't up to par. The mango was frozen and not fresh, and it just tasted normal, nothing spectacular.Also, double check the receipt before paying Because they messed up our pricing twice!Overall, good hot pot place, skip the dessert in my opinion unless it rotates :)

I'll start off by saying there's a loooooot of hotpot places in Bellevue. Like A LOT- honestly probably too many. I had heard good reviews of Nan Hotpot though so I decided to try it. I loved the decor and vibes- super old school and unique. Also great that they take reservations! The menu- lots of stuff and very unique ingredients. Like pig brain, kidney, intestines etc. This is suitable for people who want to try unique hotpot ingredients and Chongqing/ Chengdu style spicy hotpot. Our table however was not a fan of offal or spiciness so we got just the non spicy broths and meat, veggies, tofu, shrimp paste, etc. Overall everything was really tasty and fresh. Wish there was more meat options though. If you're not interested in the spicy broth or exotic ingredients it doesn't really stand out for the price, which is why I gave it 4 stars. I will also say the service is awesome and the sauce bar was very clean. What I love most is that this place has shaved ice and other desserts. I don't get why more hotpot places DON'T offer shaved ice/ other desserts besides a tiny soft serve cone., they're running a promo now and each shaved ice is only like $9 which is a great deal. Regular price- the price was insane though- $22. Look the shaved ice was yummy but not $22 worth. Overall this place is worth a try once. But for the value if you're not interested in unique ingredients or super spicy broth it doesn't really stand out.

I saw people rave about this on social media (and esp the pretty desserts!)Boyfriend and I came last Saturday. This used to be called Huo Yan Hot Pot; the ambience and such were more modern in terms of tables and booths 3 years ago but I believe they had gotten new ownership so the wooden tables and now benches are at this establishment. My boyfriend said it reminds him of the hotpot places in Shanghai; casual, simple, authentic!A lot can happen in 3 years huh? Nan is known for their authentic chongqing style hot pot. We came around 5 and it's already popular! Luckily we got a table right away. Their menu is digital so you order from the tablet and they send you your order(s). You can come back at any time to add anything you'd like!We got the 3 soup base (which was $2 less than the 2 soup base) which I felt was a little odd but we got a good variety. The traditional spicy broth was pretty spicy, even for mild! We loved it, and Hot pot is not the same without that soup base! We paid for it later...but worth it if you love spicy and if you haven't had it in a while.Love the variety of veggies, meats. They didn't have much seafood...however, I especially loved the shrimp balls. They were different bc they had a shrimp paste filling in the middle that tasted like a quail egg. I recommend giving it a shot! My boyfriend loved the sauce bar, especially the chili sauce he had gotten; it looked more like chili flakes in sauce. They gave some of the dishes flavor!They had braised quail eggs. The bean curd was okay, I think it was too long and thin for our taste. The shredded potato was something different, wouldn't get it for next time. The Chinese beer was excellent!!! And of course, loved the sour plum juice as well. We were SO full, we didn't have any room for dessert. I'd want to try one next time! However, maybe not the $20 desserts, I've heard mixed reviews and it would definitely be best to share one if possible. *NOTE: this place is not AYCE. Service was great! They were very attentive!

There are so many hot pot spots around the are and we wanted to try this spot to see how it compared! We came in around 5:30 pm on a Saturday night and it was packed but luckily we did not have to wait to get a table for 2. Service was extremely fast and attentive which impressed us. This is not an AYCE spot, so for 2 people we ordered about 7 items and shared the 3 soup bases: mushroom, spicy (mild), and pork bone. The menu here is not as extensive as other spots we've been to. We also tried the mango shave ice and we felt that it was not worth the price for around $22. There was sadly not enough mango and it was mainly ice which we were disappointed about - would prefer to go elsewhere for shave ice next time!Overall, we don't regret trying this new spot but we are unsure if we would return. Other than the wonderful service, this spot did not stand out unfortunately and there are alternative hot pot spots that are a bit more affordable and offer a wider selection of meats, sides, veggies, and soup bases. The bill for two people came out to be about $120 for which we felt was a bit pricy for what we ordered.
