🍲 Eating Through Denver #8 // Yummy Hot Pot

📍 Yummy Hot Pot 2500 W Alameda Ave, Denver, CO 80219 🍲 Type: All-you-can-eat hot pot 📝 Experience: Located in the former Kam Wong Kok spot, now transformed into a hot pot joint! The spicy broth was totally mild — more "beginner-friendly" than fiery 🌶️ You order items from a menu (not self-serve), and portions are small — perfect for trying a bit of everything! Ingredients were fairly fresh, though the meat was cut a bit thick — especially the chicken (up to ½ cm in places 😂) Menu pics in Figure 2 📸 Ended the meal with a complimentary mini ice cream — a sweet bonus! (Aki does this too, though~) 🐟 Grilled Fish Review: Served in a huge plate with lots of broth — the fish tended to float around when picking 🎣 Flavor was pretty good! Worth a try, though I slightly prefer Sichuan Chinese Restaurant’s fish a bit more. 🌶️ Spicy Chongqing Chicken: Packed heat but lacked numbing spice — tasted more like heavy bean paste. Just okay. 🧂 Salt & Pepper Dishes: The seasoning was light, and not as crispy as expected. Flavor was fine — maybe try the salt & pepper squid instead? 💵 Price: Hot pot: $20.99 per person — same as Aki, $2 more than D-Station. ✅ Final Take: Solid value overall! Service was excellent. Great for those living on the west side of Denver. Of the three AYCE hot pot spots — Aki, D-Station, and Yummy — here’s my ranking: D-Station wins for broth flavor 🍜 Aki is popular with international crowds & close to H Mart 🛒 Yummy stands out for offering real wok-cooked dishes alongside hot pot 🥢 #YummyHotPot #DenverEats #AYCE #HotPotLife #BudgetEats #AsianFoodDenver 🥘💥
