Da Long Yi Hot Pot — Restaurant in Boston

I visited on a weekday right when the place opened. It wasn’t very crowded at first, but it started filling up as time went on.

They currently have an All-You-Can-Eat deal, and I was pleased with it. The service was prompt and attentive, with quick water refills and speedy delivery of dishes. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations.

We sampled the Pork Belly, Pork, Beef, and Lamb, all of which were tasty and well-portioned for our group. We also tried the watercress, fried bean curd, silken tofu, quail egg, and noodles. While most items were standard, the noodles stood out as particularly good.

For appetizers, we had the pork dumplings and brown sugar rice cake. The pork dumplings were typical, but the brown sugar rice cake was a highlight—crispy and not overly sweet.

The sauce bar had a solid selection, including the usual options and a nice touch of chopped peanuts for added flavor.

There was also a dessert bar with ice cream and popsicles, which was a nice bonus.

The ambiance was quite pleasant, with unique chairs and a well-thought-out theme. The only minor issue was that the pot was a bit far from my seat, but that was more about my seating arrangement than anything else.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d...

I saw that other reviews have said the same thing about stomach issues after eating here and attributed to the spicy soup option. We had two soup options which were the tomato and beef bones, so I wouldn’t attribute the stomach issues to spice intolerance as the other reviews are stating.

Aside from the food, our service was horrendous. The table across from us was either friends with our server or a worker there. Our table was entirely ignored the whole service. Although we were seated earlier than the other table, our server didn’t even come by to ask for our order until after the food for the other table came out! Our soup dried up while waiting for our food and our server didn’t add more soup until we asked. We didnt receive more water or missing food until we asked. The whole time, our server was just chatting up with...

Hidden Gem! Amazing Experience at DLY Hotpot

Our family with young children recently visited DLY Hotpot and it turned out to be a hidden gem that far exceeded our expectations. The restaurant is incredibly spacious with a design interior that feels very authentic.

From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. We were greeted by Ping, who was exceptionally nice and caring, especially attentive to our kids.

Our food order was taken quickly and delivered with impressive efficiency. The quality of the food is great. The meat is very high quality, and they offer many unique items that you don't typically find in other hotpot places. The shrimp was fresh and delicious, and our kids were thrilled with the variety of options. The selection of vegetables and seafood is extensive, and the broth was absolutely delicious.
