小锅兒 Lil' Pot

We came here for lunch today and it was wonderful! Definitely try the cold teas that they serve. There is a wide selection of broths, sliced meats and fish, vegetables, and dim sum. I am a picky eater and I found lots to enjoy. The staff are very friendly and will explain how to do everything. It is not an inexpensive lunch ($39.99 per person) but it's well worth it!

If you're looking to try something new other than Korean BBQ or Sushi for AYCE, definitely come try this place out! Food: -The meat was absolutely amazing! The beef & lamb were well marbled and just melted in your mouth -I recommend you get the spicy soup + miso soup to balance out the flavour profile with your food -Miso Soup was well flavoured and just warms you like a good soup on a Cold Canadian Snowy Day -Included in the price is bottomless drinks that you typically don't get at AYCE Korean BBQ or Sushi -Definitely order the Deep Fried Bun that comes with condensed milk as a dipping sauce. Super fresh, lightly seasoned with sugar on top, absolutely amazing. -There's also a sauce station where you can make your own sauce Service: -The servers were super kind and got our stuff right away -The owner came out to talk to us about where the food is sourced, even after our 2hr limit was done, she was okay with us ordering more dessert (Get the Deep Fried Bun with the condense milk!!!!) Decor: -Would recommend the chair being cushioned or a bit comfier especially for customers stuffing themselves for 2hours Overall, would highly recommend this place to a friend and come back. You can definitely get your money's worth and the quality of the food is unreal and matches what you pay for.

Amazing restaurant! The staff are friendly and the food is very delicious, I 100% recommend Lil' Pot to anyone that likes hot pot!

We found this hotpot restaurant on google and the reviews were excellent so we decided to try it out. The process is to choose the simmer soup first, 5 small individual pots and 1 big sharing pot. There are several varieties to choose from. This is an all you can eat resto with a limit of 2 hours, small but cozy, drinks are also free, so many varieties to choose from such as yakult, mango and tea based cold drinks. There are varieties of meat, seafood, vegetables to dunk in the soup, dipping sauces can be self serve readily on a small counter. I went exotic and ordered the brain and frog legs. The brain tasted so rich and creamy, its like eating some kind of an exotic cheese. The frog legs tasted bland but can be dipped in the sauce like hoisin or soy. If you want to get the bang for what you paid, go for the Wagyu beef, shrimps, dumplings and don't forget to try the fried dough dip in the condense milk, it's really an out of this world experience. Overall, I would say it's worth visiting this resto because of its uniqueness, fast service and price in my opinion is reasonable. Don't forget to tip your servers.

Being from Richmond Vancouver, I’ve had my fair share of hot pot. I’ve tried every hot pot restaurant in Waterloo and this was the best hot pot I’ve had in my life. Everything was so delicious and the quality of the ingredients are on another level. We got the regular menu and ordered a plate of wagyu to try. It was so worth it. It was the most delicious hot pot meat I’ve ever had. The service was awesome, the staff and wonder were so friendly. They made wonderful recommendations on what broth to order and the sauce combos. They also personally informed us of 17 ingredients available in the kitchen that were not on the menu yet including frog legs, beef balls, watercress etc.

I loved this spot. So glad I found it. The owner is amazing and gives detailed explanations of all food, she is also very considerate and tried hard to give my family and I an enjoyable experience. Food was great, you pay an AYCE price as well as a price for the soup base. There are lots of options to order, including a variety of wagyu beef. Will definitely be returning! Thank you again to the owner
