Asian Express Hot Pot

This place is a little whole in the wall restaurant who has the best hot pot! Been here at least 10x and its consistantly good! Each person gets their own pot of broth (you can choose from several types) and many dishes to fill you up. The basic concept is you cook your own food and spice it up as you wish.<br/ <br/ During the day they have a all you can eat buffet and they also have a lighter night menu.<br/ On friday and saturdays its open until 3am! We always come here for the late night special for $15. You get to pick 5 items and have access to unlimited extras like peanut sauce garlic. The service is fast, food is delicious and the menu large.

Prefer southside location thats more spacious and service is more accomodating. Great value especially for lunch late dinner menus. Perfect for AYCE fans.

Full disclosure, I have never before now had 'real ' hot pot. As such, temper your expectations of this review accordingly, but we had a blast. Our waitress was great and basically ordered for us, and with very few exceptions steered us quite well. For those not aware, hot pot is similar to fondue, only you have a roiling pot of flavourful broth instead of cheese or oil. You toss stuff in the broth, from meat to noodles to mushrooms, let it cook, then enjoy with a selection of sauces from the 'do it yourself ' sauce bar. This place gives each guest their own pot, allowing for much more personalized service, and had great variety. We (4 people) left full and satisfied. Full props to our waitress for taking a bunch of white people by the hand and leading us to deliciousness!

We never had Hot Pot before until a recent trip to Tokyo opened our eyes! After a couple months of craving, we decided to try it out back home. Reading some reviews online, we invited some friends to join us at Asian Express Hot Pot for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised with the value of the lunch menu! The food was so good. I had lamb and beef which both were great quality. My friends had some of the balls (I will have to try next time! and the fish was great as well. Looking forward to coming back soon for the AYCE dinner so we can try some of the more exotic items on the menu! Definitely would recommend.

Best hot pot place EVER. the food is always fresh the sauces are full and things come quickly. The service is lacking but the food makes up for it. The value of the lunch special and late night special is what keeps us coming back. Best hot pot in Edmonton
