Chu Shang Hotpot

I went to this hot pot spot and had an amazing experience! It was my friend's birthday, so I asked our server, Taha, if we could get the dancing panda. He was super cool, and about 30 minutes after we got seated, he and the crew brought the panda out. Taha was hyping the panda up to do this crazy, hilarious dance—it was awesome and totally made our day! On top of that, the food was incredible, the restaurant was clean, and the meat selection was stacked. All in all, it’s a fantastic place to hang out.

the place and atmosphere is very nice. saw the birthday panda which is very cute and was very energetic compared to some mascots at other places that come out for birthday celebrations. however, the food was alright. we did hotpot only so can’t say for the bbq but the selection was large except for the meat choices. for a party of 2 or more, we do get the lobster but the server didn’t notify us beforehand when we mentioned it was our first time here that we only get a limited order of seafood (for the sections that you can only order through a server) per person at the table. we mostly went with hotpot only because of the seafood selection too. we also had to wave down a server to know that the sold out parts of the ipad meant ordering through a server and not on the ipad. so i wish our first server that came to the table would have explained things more to us, especially since we stated it was our first time here. another thing to note is that they do seem to be understaffed as the wait time for our soup bases was long. and it was hard to wave down a server when we needed to refill the soup bases too. but, overall, it wasn’t that bad. just personally think the price is higher

The birthday panda was soooooo cute and fun! Would definitely come back for another birthday. The spicy pork was great and love the pancakes, and cream cheese wontons. They had an awesome drink bar and lots of good options.

Small dinner party of three. First time for me. It was an interesting and tasty experience. Staff is very pleasant. The service is quick You order all your ingredients on a tablet with a maximum of two servings of seafood per person. You have the option of a hot broth cooker or large grill plate or both. We did both. $44 per person and everything is included minus the tip. There is a buffet table of fried shrimp, fried vegetable rolls, french fries and some other Asian items. There are two large tables of spices, freshly chopped vegetables, sauces, etc to be used in your dishes mainly for the broths. There are a handful of broth choices that can be ordered. We each picked a different one. We ordered various cuts of pork, beef and six different seafood options. Everything was fresh and you grill or cook it yourself in whatever broth you picked. I didn't see any rice options. There are a few noodle options available. All other ingredients are unlimited. But there is a $14 per pound wastage fee if you over order and do not eat what you ordered. There are two refrigerator with drinks and two freezers with ice cream and fruit bar pops. Plenty of options. Will come back again. Come chec

This place opened end of 2024 I been wanting to go check it out. Finally made my way there tonight with couple friends to try out. We went on a Monday night there was no wait at all. We got seated right away. It’s $40 ayce either hot pot of bbq. If you want to do both it’s extra $4. Every 2 people gets a free lobster that comes with the hot pot option. Since we had 4 people we were getting 2 lobsters. Instead of getting it raw you have the option for the to cook it in the kitchen stir fried with ginger and scallion. In addition to the lobster they have some items that are consider as specialty items which everyone is allow to choose 2 which are not unlimited. All the ingredients were decent quality except for the shrimp paste we didn’t really care for. After we cook it it’s supposed to have this “bouncy” texture but instead it tasted kinda soft/mushy. Drinks are also included in the price. They have a good selection of drinks from Asian drinks to soda. In addition you can enjoy some hot rice dumpling dessert or ice cream. This review is only for hot pot as we did not opt for the bbq
