Hotpot 88

Finally had Hotpot 88. Can't believe it took me this long. Some peeps say $20 for lunch is expensive but for what you get this is well worth it. From many broth options to choose from. Cold bar buffet full of many veggie and seafood options. You also get unlimited appetizers and there is a dessert bar as well. I chose the Thai Tom yum soup base. Next time I will do the traditional Sichuan pepper base. Will be back soon

Overall, pretty good experience at Hotpot 88. Once we understood that the broth was meant to be just a base and that you would need to add lots of seasoning and spices to it in order for it to be flavorful enough to really enjoy, then we came up with something delicious. Our service was attentive and friendly, encouraging us to try different things and explaining what they were. Overall, the fresh vegetable and seafood offerings were nicely laid out on the buffet. Some of the vegetables were cut quite large or thick, which made it difficult to use them. For example, the carrot chips were cut so sickly that I ended up having to use the side blade of the tongs to cut them in half before I put them into my hot pot. Otherwise it would've taken much much longer to cook. Same with the broccoli, I pulled apart lots of florettes before I ended up using them. Just an attention to detail about how customers use the vegetables would improve a lot.We liked the overall set up and had fun experimenting with different flavors and cooking different foods in our hot pots. For the price it was a decent amount of food. Complete with dessert!

Such a fun dining experience!This place is large, clean, and has plenty of space. I love that each table has individual pots for each person vs sharing a pot with the whole table.The service is prompt and they do a great job of clearing off the table regularly. The all you can eat is a great deal and allows for unlimited appetizers, meat, sides, etc.The appetizers are delish and come in the perfect portion sizes. The meat is fresh and the buffet of sides/accompaniments has an excellent variety of items. I enjoy the variety of well seasoned broth options as well.This place has soemthing for everyone and you will leave satisfied and stuffed. We really enjoyed my dining experience here and look forward to coming back.

This is the only place that exclusively serves hot pot, and it's a fun experience! It's AYCE including appetizers and meats. You have a 90 min limit per table and 20% charge on leftovers so don't let your eyes do the eating here. The waitress was very attentive to us on a Thursday night, and she was helpful with recommendations on dishes. We've been on a weekend evening and service was still great. You start with a broth, which I'd recommend the Thai Tom yum. Hubby got chicken coconut which was also delicious. MIL got miso and loved it. The spicy sichuan was just chili oil IMO so would not recommend that one. You get your own pots which is a big plus since parties usually share pots. The sides, veggies, noodles, and seafood are buffet style and all were very fresh. There was also a seafood boil set out with crawfish. The sauce station has recipes which is fun to make your own! Ice cream was available for dessert which was decent. Would recommend short ribs and crab Rangoon for appetizers. Lunch is $20 and dinner is $32. A few things on the menu was dinner only. The only thing I didn't like was that the server randomly comes around with a kettle and fills your pot with hot water which dilutes the broth. This makes me think you only get one pot but it's more than enough! So I told them no when they came around. It can be very crowded and loud on weekends but Thursday night was great. It's a great spot on a cold day if you want AYCE!

Nice place for hot pot in the cold weather. Recommend to go for lunch it's cheaper. Great soup, clean, nice service. Expect more appetizers on the menu but not. Overall still recommend it!

This was a great experience and value for the price! All you can eat apps and hot pot and everything tasted great! Our favorite apps were beef ribs and salmon sashimi--I was so excited to see it on the menu! I got the miso broth and tried the mushroom--I would do mushroom next time, it had SO much flavor! The miso was pretty plain, but the sauces available at the buffet came in handy to spice it up with chili oil and soy sauce.The meats were great--pork belly was by far my favorite. They had plenty of options and the buffet of veggies was enormous as well! A ton of mushrooms, green veggies, sauces, flavorings, and many many things I would have never thought to put in hot pot.Our server was amazing--she checked on us every few minutes.We had a great experience and I definitely recommend a dinner here for the food and the experience!

My family and I went here for Christmas Eve lunch, and we stuffed ourselves. You get multiple options for broth to choose from, and I opted for the bone broth. They have a salad bar lined up with some meats, seasonings, and veggies to add to your broth. There's starches, salad bar, and a dessert bar as well. You have quite a few meat options to choose from, but I went with beef and chicken. Our server was super friendly and provided great opinions on broth to try and even let us try samples to choose from. Make sure you come hungry because the lunch special was over $20 a person. Weekends and nights are more expensive, but you have more options for food and appetizers.

Finally found a hot pot place in the Omaha area! The experience was great with a large selection of soup bases, appetizers, meats, sauces, veggies, drinks, and desserts. The restaurant is relatively new and very clean. I like that everyone gets their own personal hotpot so you can get exactly what you want. Our waitress was also very quick to attend to our needs and brought the food very quickly! Everything at the self-serve bars (both sauce and veggies) were very fresh, well-stocked, and clean. I had the tomato soup base and loved it. My favorite appetizers were the beef skewers, and my favorite meat was the sliced lamb. The sauce bar could've used a few other ingredients, but overall, with the value and the selections, I was very pleased!

What an awesome addition to Omaha!Hotpot 88 was such a fun experience. You pay a set price (differs for lunch and weekend) and get unlimited food there! There are options in the beginning to pick a broth for the soup. Then, you can order as many appetizers and meats with the server. There is also a large buffet area with tons of vegetables, tofu, meatballs, seafood and a sauce station to make your own sauce. The variety to pick from was very impressive-they had some unique Chinese options. It was fun trying all various types of meats, seafood, vegetables and appetizers. The service in terms of bringing out our meats/appetizers and clearing away empty dishes was great! Our server did mention that she would stop by often to take additional orders for meat/appetizers, but that did not happen. We had to constantly find her and get her attention to order more food. Otherwise what a great experience! Would recommend!

The service is great and the ambience is cosy even when it's a hotpot place. The establishment is not very smoky and the food selection is great. I like that they have good selection of hotpot ingredients as well as the cooked-ready to eat ones. Also, the ingredients are fresh, and the free drinks selection is good as well. The price is quite high for dinner menu but for lunch menu it is still affordable. Note that they have time limit for each session! I think it's 90 minutes but you may check it via their website
