Prepare for the SPICE! My husband and I love hot pot and each place we love has a speciality that we come back for. Bashu Hot Pot had the best broth -- we always get the Sichuan Spicy and the Beef Tallow, and have never been disappointed. Their broth is the most consistent in flavor and quality; if you request extra spicy, be warned that it gets intense here. The pots have a little sectioned off area that holds the peppercorns and other aromatics, and the longer the broth sits, the more those spices diffuse into the broth. My husband nearly died when he ordered the Extra Spicy and learned his lesson by the end of our visit. But, the broth is so good, we always come back for more. The selection of meats, seafood, and vegetables is fresh and varied! We've brought some picky eaters and everyone is always able to find stuff that they like. The sauce bar is also great. They have two dessert soups that were a wonderful and cooling end to our hot meal. I had two bowls of each! Service is always good here. There's only a few servers, but they somehow always stay on top of things. The restaurant always looks clean and I love the decor inside. It feels like we're eating at a stall in a traditional village or something like that -- I don't know how to explain it. My only tiff here is that their drink menu is all bottled or canned, unless you're doing hot tea and water. It's not a big thing, but is good to note. Overall, I highly recommend Bashu and I've never had a bad experience here. 5 Stars.
Me and my boyfriend come here all the time and everytime we come they are so nice to us and they always remember us when we come in! They have so many broth options and the selection in the back is phenomenal!!
4.5 Stars Pretty good place for AYCE hot pot. They had a large selection of Asian greens as well as offal. My party and I picked out the ingredients we wanted from the buffet bar and also ordered some items individually (namely: pig brains, duck blood, and duck intestines). We also ordered some dessert as well. There were only two dessert options: the Szechuan Jelly and a shaved iced dessert (I forgot the actual name on the menu). The shaved iced was really good. The ice was shaved so finely that it melted like cotton candy in the mouth. For the AYCE, it was $28 per person but all of the extra ingredients we ordered really bumped up the price and it came out to be around $55 per person including tip. Service: The service was pretty good. Our server was incredibly enthusiastic in recommending specific things on the menu we should try. She was also quite attentive and all of our food arrived quickly. To sum it all up, this place is quite affordable if you want to try an AYCE hot pot with a variety of ingredients to choose from. I would refrain from ordering additional ingredients if you want to keep it "budget friendly".
Ready for round 2! This restaurant was fantastic. Very authentic, and cultural setting. Everyone was really welcoming and in good spirits. You start off selecting which soup base you'd like, and then two meat selections, it's all you can eat and they'll continually come around to see if you are ready for more. There is a buffet style selection where you can grab all of the veggies, seafoods, and extra hot pot delicacy's to add to your meal & a sauce bar to get your meat nice and saucy. Be careful not to plate more than you can actually eat because there is a charge per pound of leftover uneaten food. If you're in the area you should definitely come visit this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!
Good food good service. Definitely recommended to everyone who lave hot pot. And it is a all you can eat restaurant
