I came here with a friend while visiting Philadelphia, and candidly wasn't sure what to expect with the flat pricing. I was worried for no reason--the premium and non-premium items were incredible, and they had a fantastic selection of fresh vegetables, tofu, and other fixings. The place itself is very unassuming from the outside, but inside it feels like you've been transported to a small village during a festival. The way the seating is set up makes your table feel more private than most restaurants, and the overall vibe is very chill. We didn't feel pressured to rush, but service was also fast enough that we didn't feel like we were sat waiting on service and wasting our own time, either. The unlimited beverages are a hidden gem and allow you to try some really fun drinks. It was a wonderful time, and the food was absolutely delicious. Put yourself on the waitlist in advance via Yelp!

They were quite busy when I came and it's a tiny bit shady on how to find this place. You have to go through a smelly small elevator to the second floor. But once there, a foodie world pops open and the variety is more than most places I've been to and I've been to all of the ones in the hot pot capital of southern California. Well worth the visit.

Came here for the third or fourth time. It never disappoints. They always have good selections of meat and vegetables options. The included bottled/can drinks are also so good. For $39.99, it is all you can eat and with two premium items per person. Good value and tasty! The staff was kind and checked on the water level a few times. I recommend waitlisting or making a reservation on Yelp ahead of time as the wait can be quite long during prime dining hours. The inside seems clean but the elevator going up was a bit sketchy. The only down side was the limited dessert options. We will be back!!!!

I'm actually quite surprised that it has taken me this long to write a review for Kungfu Hotpot, as it easily and rapidly became our go-to hotpot spot in the area. It opened maybe a year or so ago and we've been frequenting since the beginning. It had hardly any growing pains and was great from the start. There aren't a TON of meat options, but the meats they do offer are good. You get a few specials depending on the size of your party whenever you go, including options like jumbo prawn, scallops, and arctic clam. We usually end up getting multiple rounds of the sashimi, which is shockingly fresh. The sauce bar is plentiful with everything standard you'd want. The app bar has a good amount of fish and vegetables beyond what you actually order. And the drinks are free with a ton of variety, which is great. The food comes quickly and the empty dishes are cleared even quicker. Parking can be a bit tricky, but that's the nature of Chinatown itself. We've never waited for a table but they do take reservations. And the price is great for what you're getting.

Honestly a great deal for decent hotpot. The wait can be a bit long. There's nothing specifically wrong with it to make it 4 instead of 5 stars, but it's not "knock-your-socks-off" amazing. I'll likely be back at some point, but won't be rushing back.

Very tasty hot pot place with great variety of items. On floor 3 for the elevator in the Cherry St alley. Good drink assortment that's included with the hot pot. Price for all you can eat includes lobster, crab, ribs, on top of the special proteins, so there is only the one price level. Other places may have 2 tiers for regular or premium but this only has 1 so be ready. Nice inside and the tables are big for all your plates and such. Staff good at bringing out more things for you or filling up broths. All the food trays were nicely kept and refilled when low. All the standard hot pot items veggies, noodles, fish balls, etc. The sauce cart was well stocked as well.

Food was good. Nice atmosphere. Decent food. I feel it was a bit pricy but they do give you lobsters and other stuff. I'd rather it be cheaper and not give those things for "free". Enjoyed the variety of drinks available in the fridge Depending on when you come there can be a really long wait. The I've also heard about the smell of the elevator but they much have fixed that because it wasn't bad when I went. Maybe don't come on trash day.

Delicious hot pot! Love that I can get my own vegetables, drinks and seafood, sauces and more. You can also order off an iPad which you have tons of selections of meats and cooked food. You also get a whole lobster for every 3 guest, and specialty selections. we came out more than full. Service was attentive and friendly, places was packed, so I would also recommend making reservations or getting on the yelp waitlist. Definitely recommend.

Hotpot is AYCE for $33.99 per person. There is the sauces/condiments bar, fresh veggies you can get yourself. There are various meats & seafood to order off the iPad. You get your pick of broths too. They have desserts too & it comes with drinks - sodas, herbal teas etc. All the food items are fresh. Good service & good value. Weekday price is $33.99. Weekend price is $39.99. We will be back.

I've heard a lot about hot pot but didn't think it could be a worthwhile experience for me since I'm pescatarian-- I was so wrong. I LOVED this experience! First off, this spot is on the third floor so their entrance on Cherry St. is just an elevator. Upstairs, it's a big and bustling space. We came on a Friday night at 8:30pm for a pre-Lunar New Year parade dinner, and it was crowded because a lot of people had the same idea! We had a to wait a bit even though we had a reservation but we didn't mind because they had benches by the front. We got to pick two broths (we went with the spicy broth, tom yum) and since we were a group of three, we got a free lobster too. We ordered some other specialty seafood and meat to the table on a little paper sheet as well as on the iPad. We did order salmon sashimi and never received that unfortunately. We had to remind our server about some of the other things we ordered (they were swamped, to be fair), but we had more than enough food to eat. A highlight for me was the help yourself section towards the front. They have a ton of different vegetables, seasonings, sauces, fruit, and a fridge of great beverages that you can get at your leisure. Like I said, we had more than enough food to eat! Pricing was $39 for the AYCE, and total per person came out to around $53 with tax and tip. Quick Recommendations (from my first hotpot experience): - the spicy broth gets spicier as you use more, and even with added water, the flavor got a little overwhelming by the end of it - be prepared to google cooking times for the seafood, they don't provide recommendations so it's really on you - wear clothes you can wash easily in the event of spills and also smell (because the sauce can be potent)
