The restaurant was clean with nice cultural decor. The hot pot broth options were flavorful. They let you pick a 3 broth bowl to try multiple ones. Easy phone app ordering system. Meat & veggies were delish. Would definitely come again!

I had a really great experience at this Chinese hotpot restaurant. The broth was rich and flavorful, especially the spicy Sichuan one that had a strong aroma but was not too salty. The meat and vegetables were fresh, and I liked that we could choose many sauces to mix ourselves. The staff were friendly and patient when explaining the menu, which helped me a lot. The warm steam from the hotpot and the lively atmosphere made dinner feel cozy and fun with friends. I will definitely come back when I miss authentic Chinese hotpot.

When you step into this restaurant you feel transported to china. The decor and atmosphere is amazing and the food…even better. Easily the best hot pot I’ve had here in Houston. I’m a huge mala and Szechuan guy and their Szechuan broth is top tier. I will definitely coming back here and will be recommending this place to anyone looking for authentic hot pot. Simply amazing.

One of the best AYCE hot pot spots in Houston! Food quality was amazing, from the meat to veggies to noodles, to sauces. Would definitely recommend parties from 2 to 10 to check out this spot! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful to newcomers and regulars! 10/10!

We wanted to try a different hotpot spot than our usual, and old alley hot pot did not disappoint! The beef tallow spicy base was a delight, spicy, numbing, and flavorful to the right degree. The meats and vegetables were very fresh and tasty. We especially loved the beef tripe and lamb shoulder slices.

Old Alley Hot Pot offers flavorful, well-balanced broths and fresh, high-quality ingredients. The spicy soup is aromatic without being overpowering, and the meat and sides are consistently good. Clean space, friendly service, and $28.99 all-you-can-eat makes it a great value. Definitely worth a visit.
