To the point Food: GREAT Vibe & Service: AMAZING Recommended: MOST DEFINITELY Returning?: Already did and will be again!
I have to say that I was very very satisfied with Thai Hot Pot. I decided to leave a review after second time eating here (First time with my wife and son. Second time with my boss.)
Location When you walk into the place, you are greeted by a wonderful lady and lines of ingredients. You can fine the big dining are right after you pass the place where you pay. Immediately to the left, you will see the condiments section :)
Order The lady will ask you "Have you been with us before?" You can now simply say "I studied Sun's review" and get your food like a pro now. You get a bowl. Nicely create a wall with veggies. Put other veggies on top. Put wet noodle. Pick hard noodle (egg noodle, mama noodle, and another that i can't remember). Give the bowl to the lady, choose soup, and she will weigh and you pay!
Taste I had tom yum soup base with first time seafood and second time beef. Both were really really good. Their soup base is incredible. They have non-spicy soup which your kids can have their own!
Vibe and Service Did I mention that the lady is wonderful? I think I did but let me do it again. She is very kind and caring, but of course she won't constantly check with you while you are eating like those restaurants with servers who won't let you eat with so many questions. And the place is extremely clean. I mean, VERY clean. I rate "cleanness" with conditions of table and restroom. Spot clean both times!!!
Additional comments I am going back again very soon! Oh and make sure to not be so excited by fresh ingredients because the price goes by weight. My boss was so excited that he loaded his bowl with 2 lbs of ingredients and had to take...

Must-Try: The Tom Kha Broth
The Tom Kha broth is a must! It’s rich, creamy, and packed with bold Thai flavors, making every bite incredibly satisfying.
Why Thai Hot Pot Stands Out:
✔️ Affordable & High-Quality – You get amazing food for the price. ✔️ Perfect for Any Group Size – Whether dining alone or with a large party, they’ve got space for you. ✔️ They Have “Good Ice”! – If you love chewable ice, you’ll appreciate this small but satisfying detail.
Outstanding Service!
Huge thanks to Angela and Steven for their fantastic hospitality! They made sure our party of 20 had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make our experience great.

Read moreThai Hot Pot is a fantastic addition to the community! This place is all about customization—you pick your own veggies, proteins, and seafood, then pay by weight. They have an incredible variety, from beef and oxtail to a huge selection of seafood, mushrooms, tofu, and other fresh veggies.
The broth options are excellent—we tried the Tom Yum and Tom Kha, and both were packed with flavor! The dipping sauce bar is another highlight, offering tons of choices to mix and match. If the small dipping plates aren’t enough, just ask for a small bowl.
The owner (I think), is so kind and welcoming. She guided us through the ordering process and made sure we had a great experience. You can tell she truly cares about her customers.
Another great perk: the price per pound is the same for lunch and dinner, making lunch a solid deal and dinner an even better value.
If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful, and customizable hot pot, definitely check this place out. We’ll be...
