The Dolar Shop Hot Pot has genuinely good food. The meat quality is excellent, no question, and the broth was flavorful and well done. The service was also attentive and polished.

That said, over $600 for hot pot is honestly insane. At that price point, the experience does not justify the cost. Happy Lamb Hot Pot is just as good food-wise and dramatically cheaper. Yes, the service here is better, but it is not $600 good.

Also, what is going on with the furniture? Everything is absurdly low. My knees were touching the table, and everyone in our party hated the seating. It felt cheap and tacky, which is especially jarring given how “luxury” the restaurant is trying to be.

Overall, tasty broth, great meat, and good service, but wildly overpriced and uncomfortable. I would only come back if prices were cut significantly.

The broths here are so flavorful and the meat quality is superior. Sauce bar and jelly bar have great selections and the free ice cream at the end is not to be missed, no matter how lactose intolerant you are.

Faves: Half creamy pork broth half tomato broth. Short plate, fried bean curd roll, tong ho, pea sprouts, veggie platter, shrimp paste.

Set menu options are a good deal, along with happy hour during lunch and late night. Plenty of parking (which they validate), reservations recommended.

Had an awesome experience at The Dolar Shop in Bellevue! The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and having individual hot pots made the experience even better. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and customizable to your taste. The atmosphere is upscale but a bit uncomfortable with the furnitures. Chairs and couches were way too as well as the table. It feels like it was made for elementary school kids. But the service was attentive and friendly. Great spot for hot pot with friends or family if you are financially comfortable it was a bit pricey overall.

A really unique and fun experience. The food was good, normal hotpot place. Everyone gets their own hotpot bowls which was interesting. The price is on the more expensive side but seeing how fancy this place is, it makes sense. The had 2 side bars, one for sauces and small dishes and another one for jelly dessert. The variety of toppings for the jelly is crazy and it was of course delicious. Overall an amazing experience.

I loved everything about our meal, and I love that it’s individual style hot pot per person. If you’re a group that is diverse in food allergies, they will definitely accommodate for that. The mushroom broth is best for those who have dairy allergies and the tomato veggie is perfect for those who have gluten allergy. Happy Hour is great deal for meat/veggie set and the dessert and sauce bar is superb.

Lee & Kai were fantastic.

I came from out of state just to dine here! This location is in The Shops at the Bravern. It’s a lot of fancy shops here. The Dolar Shop is close to LeTAO.

Seating area is large with hot tea and iced fruit water. There’s some candy and table games. I recommend getting on the Yelp waitlist on weekends. If you call them, they can add you too.

I think the ingredients they use are good quality and tasty. You order items on a table/iPad. The broths are $9.99, even for split pot. I wish they had an option for split regular bone broth + spicy. The service is good too. This isn’t an all you can eat hot pot, so you pay for each plate you order.

Come here for your birthday! They give a pretty happy birthday sign and let you spin the wheel to win something.

There is a charge per person to use the self-serve sauce bar. There’s also a variety of desserts and fruits, which is my favorite section.

Two things I would note:
1. I left my jacket in the coat rack at the front of the restaurant, but it didn’t help with the smell. The clothes I was wearing from head to toe smelled badly afterwards. My jacket smelled equally as bad.
2. Check your receipt before you hand over payment. They add 3% if you use credit card to pay. There are signs on each table btw. The receipt also says that if you insist on using credit card and want to remove it, you can fill out a survey by scanning the QR code on the receipt.

Bathroom is in the way back of the restaurant.

I recently dined at this hot pot restaurant and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience.

The edamame was clearly not fresh. it tasted old and like it had been sitting out for too long. Definitely not the quality I expected. The hot pot base was also very mediocre, tasting just like the pre-packaged soup bases you can buy from the supermarket. There was nothing special or flavorful about it.

On top of that, the food was quite pricey for the quality offered. It simply wasn’t worth the cost.

To make matters worse, they add a 3% surcharge if you pay by credit card. They say the fee will be waived if you complete a survey, which feels unnecessary and a bit off-putting.

Overall, not worth the visit. I wouldn’t return.

Order the set menu here! The meal comes with your choice of meat, a platter of mixed veggies and sides, and your choice of either noodle or rice (unlimited refill). It is surprisingly filling and the meat quality is really good! You also get to choose your broth (or split broth) and have access to ayce dessert and sauce bar. Also free ice cream cone afterwards . I recommend the bone broth and the spicy broth is actually quite spicy. A great hot pot place!

Two stars because the business owners are too cheap to pay the $9 credit card fee for a $300+ meal ☺️

By all accounts, Dolar shop is one of my favorite hotpot places in Seattle. The food is delicious, the staff is always professional and kind, the broth is superb, and I love the sauce bar. Our waiter made us their signature sauce and it was delicious! The food and atmosphere is worth the wait. However they recently implemented this ridiculous policy about credit cards that is a complete turn off.

For ANY bill, they ask you to pay in cash or debit because they dont want to pay the 3% credit card fee. They do allow you to waive it if you take a Google survey, but everyone is going to click through it just to get over it. You’re not a small business, this is a premium hotpot place in Bellevue. Everyone’s bill is easily $100+, what is $3? If you must just add 3% to the base broth price, that would annoy people less.

great spot for hotpot! The quality of the food is excellent, and they have a really good happy hour deal. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The price is definitely on the higher side, but I think it’s worth it for the experience and quality. Staff were friendly and attentive, which made the meal even better. I definitely recommend giving it a try!
