Easy Joy Dim Sum & AYCE Hot Pot 意中人点心和自助火锅 — Local services in New York

A newly opened hotpot spot nestled amongst Little Italy restaurants. We stopped by for their lunch specials and didn't have to wait to be seated. I guess this place is more popular on weekends and dinner time. I got the hotpot lunch special which came with 1 beef platter, 1 plate of vegetables/fish balls/sausages/noodles and choice of hot pot broth (pork collage or mushroom). My brother got the other option which came with 6 pork xiao long bao, choice of fried rice or noodles and a dessert.

Larger tables of 8 can be divided into two tables of 4 by a small partition which is a thoughtful touch. Staff asked right away if we wanted hot tea or cold water. The tea comes in a small tea kettle and 2 tiny tea cups with a handle.

Their current menu offers AYCE hotpot and a la carte dim sum. Their hot pot ingredients selection seemed very fresh, good quality and well stocked (fishballs, veggies, meats, noodles, rice cakes etc). They also had a nice dessert selection with tiramisu, puddings, fruits, cannoli etc. I liked that the desserts were offered in mini cups so that you could sample a little bit of everything (though I didn't get the chance to this time). The sauce station had a lot of sauces available as well as snacks like peanuts and preserved veggies. There are also plenty of soda drinks in their fridge.

My hotpot soup came out first. The pork bone brother came with giant pieces of pork bone with plenty of meat on it, a few pieces of corn, gingko berries, jujubes, mushrooms and green onions. It comes in a mini pot so I'm able to cook it on my own little stovetop. The beef slices were thin but not fatty at all. The combo platter was filled with so many vegetables and ingredients that I almost couldn't finish it all. My favorites were the fish roe fish ball, mushroom, corn and the napa cabbage. The platter came out exactly like how it looked on the promotional images on their windows. Staff even offered an apron just in case of hotpot splatters.

The fried noodles were an absolutely heaping portion as well. A few pieces of pork, carrots and cabbage stir fried with curly noodles. It was enough for two people to share. I think they steam their xiao long bao fresh when the order is placed because it was one of the last items to come out. The dessert was also so pretty! I loved the tiramisu cake and fruits toppings.

I also went to the bathroom and it was clean and neat. I think they kept the previous restaurant's decor here because it didn't match the rest of the restaurant's...

Yum! Great quality, wide variety, & nice hospitality!

I was so glad there was a combo option because we wanted to try everything - will definitely be back! We started with a couple of dim sum dishes which came out piping hot and very fresh - loved the crunch on the duck spring rolls. It was my first time trying black truffle har gow - who would’ve known that’s such a good combo when it’s done right - so was the one with scallops and dou miao.

I liked the variety of special soup bases which are different from the other ayce hot pot spots. I got so excited when the soups arrived that I forgot to take a pic of them but our favorite was the flavorful duck broth - it was so good that we barely had to use any sauce! All the ingredients were high quality with a wide selection of fresh veggies, seafood, noodles, sauces and meats (esp the wagyu beef). They had many options for beverages and dessert which are included too!

Thanks to the wonderful staff for their friendly and quick service. They were very helpful and attentive. I also enjoyed the spacious, comfy booths and nice ambience. Can’t wait to go back...

This is hands down the best all-you-can-eat hot pot and dim sum experience I've had in NYC! The restaurant's prime location in the heart of Chinatown makes it a perfect spot. The interior is modern and clean, with a lively but not overly crowded feel. The selection is incredible. For hot pot, the variety of broths and the fresh, high-quality ingredients (must get the duck broth or the coconut chicken broth)—especially the thinly sliced wagyu meats and a huge selection of fresh vegetables—were a real highlight. The dim sum selection is unreal and the taste is comparable to dim sum in Hong Kong; everything from the truffle har gow to the siu mai tasted fresh and delicious. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. They made sure our hot pot was always topped up and were quick to clear our plates. For an all-you-can-eat spot in NYC, the value here is unbeatable. The quality of food and the amazing service make the price point more than fair. If you're looking for an unforgettable all-you-can-eat hot pot and dim sum feast in Chinatown, look no further. I'll definitely be...
