We love hotpot! This place has great broth flavors, tender beef, so many menu options. You pick a broth, or 2. I always get the tomato, it’s so good. Then you pick 4 different types of meats. The wagyu is always good. Each person gets a special item…we went with crab legs and spring rolls. Next, you go to the back area and select a variety of vegetables, noodles, and some special skewers with various meats to put in the hot pot. Finally, mix up your dipping sauces…lots of spicy and savory choices. Take it all back to the table and cook away. It only takes a minute or so to cook the meats, the vegetables you just add to the pot and spoon out when they’re ready. It’s a dining experience! Fun for the whole family! Go earlyish as it gets busy.

Great option for all-you-can-eat buffet hot pot. This restaurant features a Chinese and haidilao approach to hot pot at reasonable prices. Staff are kind and hospitable, with options for english or mandarin available. Order and options also include small bites and beverages. Recommended for mid-range budget and a hearty appetite. Will visit again

If you guys love hot pot like I do, or this may be your first experience, you have to check out @mlbb_hotpot on Arch Street in Philadelphia’s China Town. I’ve had a lot of the hot pots in my general South Jersey area and a few in the Philly area, but this may be my favorite thus far. My spicy broth was the perfect combo of heat and bold flavors that I expect in a hot pot broth. The sauce bar has everything you need to make a great dip, and the meat/seafood/veggie self-serve wall is extensive. It’s so convenient to grab it yourself and just dunk the skewers in your broth. I absolutely loved seeing how many skewers we dropped in our bucket too.
Hot pot is a really fun experience, and I am eager to come back again soon!

I came with some of my friends to check out this place since I saw some good reviews online and it did not disappoint. I also like the music they were playing it was calm and hype. They also have a full bar and have different drinks in the fridge but they do cost extra. I also like the sauce station because they have different side dishes like seaweed, edamame, and oranges after we finish. I think this is a good place to stop by for dinner.

First time having hot pot and it was a great experience! Come hungry!
A lot of options which could be overwhelming, thankfully we had our friends to help us! It was a fun and delicious way to eat. Very conversational and interactive! A bit expensive but if you come hungry and hang out for a bit it’ll be worth it!
Happy with everything it tried. A lot of foods and times I’ve had before and quite a few I havnt which was fun to try! A whole sauce/condiment bar is awesome too!

My friend and I went to MLBB Hot Pot yesterday and it was very fun! The environment was relaxing and the service was amazing. Since this was our first time at this establishment, it was explained in detail about how a hotpot works and the variety of fresh meats, vegetables, and sauces that they have to offer. We made it just in time for their all you can eat lunch special, where we also had the option to grab skewers too. I had a great time, and I hope everyone checks them out

Typical hot pot but it felt like it took a while for our food choices to come out and some were even forgotten until we asked. My broth was a little lackluster even though it’s a “favorite”. We both enjoyed the wagyu (definitely not real wagyu). Weirdly enough no napkins at the table even though it feels like hotpot is kinda messy.

This place has been open for a few months and I finally had time to try, me and my friends went there did the all you can eat package, the broth was very flavorful especially the tomato one, would definitely go there again for the broth. They also provide personal pot for those who doesn’t like to share, there are a good selection of food and sauces on the buffet table, just make sure you don’t waste too much food( for those who doesn’t know they do charge by weight if you have a lot of untouched food at the end)and it’s not gonna be pretty.

Did not attend to our table frequently(during our 2 hour stay, waiter only visited us 5 times), did not bring premium meats timely(we waited an hour for the first round of meats to come), did not get good AYCE value since service and food was so slow(all of us ate more non premium meats and felt scammed of our money).
We were a large group, but instead of allowing us to split into two tables to allow more manageable service and customer eating experience, they squished us all into one table, where some people in our group couldn’t physically reach the hotpot at the center. If the world was perfect, I would like my money refunded and would hope no one else eats at this place.
