Absolutely fantastic. Great setup without the big exhaust fan in your face. Innovative split heaters for broth.

It's great to see a high quality hot pot and kbbq spot in the Arvada area. We had the AYCE hot pot + kbbq combo and it was $36 (per tax/tip) which is a great deal for what we got. Hot pot + sauces The hot pot broth options are all delicious. If you like szechuan spicy, the spicy broth is great - there's just a bit of a learning curve of how to eat around the dried peppers and szechuan peppercorns, but you'll get it. The menu of different meats, seafood, veggies, noodles, and tofu is extensive and fresh. There's something for everyone: the meats and veggies you'll come across at an American market, as well as traditional Chinese meats and veggies that are oh so delicious in a hot pot. I'm always so happy when I see things like lotus root, tripe, and tong hua. They have a very extensive sauce section. Awesome to make your own sauces, but intimidating for people who are new. A possible suggestion to the restaurant would be putting up suggested sauce combinations. Korean BBQ The kbbq was fine, they put a paper down between the meat and the grill so you don't get that nice grill crust. I get that it makes cleanup easier, but took away from the flavor and overall experience. The meats and seafood were great quality, so it was unfortunate and we focused more on the hot pot because of this. Service There was always someone walking around who we could flag down to order more food and the food made it out to us quickly. We all easily got our fill and we had 4 ppl at our table. Space The restaurant is big. There are lots of tables for big parties and you don't feel crowded with the party next to you. I love supporting new asian restaurants especially as they expand around the Denver area and La hotpot and BBQ deserves it!

Shinta was our server and was an absolute angel. Food-superb Customer service-incredible 10/10 recommend will be returning

I've been waiting for a good hot pot place to open nearby for YEARS now and was extremely excited to visit this place. I was not disappointed! I've been twice- once a few weeks after they opened and then about a month after that. I'm happy to say, they ironed out a lot of the service issues I encountered the first time. Food was brought promptly and service was great on my second visit! The selections of meats and veggies is great. I wish there were more seafood options and hope to see more added in the future. My only minor complaint is the menu- it's hard to mark your options and there's not obvious way to mark more than one serving of a specific item. If they, at a minimum, provided finer-tip pens or a chwckbox system, it would make the ordering process much easier.

La Hotpot will never be a disappointing meal. Been here 4 times already and every time Ieft happy and full. Located in Wheatridge, you don't have much if any, options for hotpot. But if this is drive for you to get here, I promise you it is worth the drive. The cost of the AYCE Hotpot is $30, and you can add the bbq for $5 more. A lot of people still have the idea in their head the AYCE places have cheap ingredients, that they're not fresh, etc.. I will gladly say that La Hotpot is not that. I have had nothing but top quality ingredients! Especially the blue crab. You can taste the quality. And these crabs are always filled with roe! The other hotpot proteins are always good quality ingredients. You won't see any weird discoloration or see anything that will make you second guess what you're eating. Sure you will second guess gluttonous ways, but that's a different issue to discuss with your therapist... Or doctor. My favorite broth is the pork broth. I feel that has the best flavor and you can add chile oil to add spice. The sauce bar is also a must. They have that what you want to build the perfect sauce. I love that they keep the sauce bar clean and well stocked. This is also where you get your utensils. The Korean BBQ portion of this restaurant is also really good. One thing that they do here that other places don't is they put down parchment paper on the grill. This allows for a cleaner grill. Your proteins don't burn as easily. They don't have a large selection of proteins for the bbq but they have enough to keep you satisfied and full. You can also put the hotpot proteins on the grill to make your own special concoctions. I did try to pig's brains and it was too rich. I think grilling it on the grill but not in the bowl would have made it taste much better. I think what sets La Hotpot from the many Hotpot options in the Denver metro area are the workers here and the cleanliness of the restaurant. My opinion might be biased in this because I had the opportunity in meeting the owner. You can tell he was very passionate in delivering the best experience for his customers. Sure I can state the price, quality of ingredients, and good customer service. But anyone can say that for a lot of the other restaurants. I think what sets them apart is the consistency of quality in their service. Seeing the owner there pretty much everyday, and them keeping up with the cleanliness of the place is what you don't see often in restaurants. Looking forward to dining here again.

Very solid hot pot spot! The broth and sauce station were some of the best I've had/seen. I'm taking a star off because of the service, which has been mentioned in several other reviews. Things took a really long time to come out and when we ordered our second round of items, the waitress forgot to put it in. So we were there for 2 hours and only ordered off the menu twice. She was nice and apologized profusely but it does affect the experience!
