Best hot pot so far. The four of us recently had hot pot here. The food is super fresh, particularly the hand sliced beef and lamb for hot pot has the best quality you can possibly get. There are many options for sea food, fresh vegetables and tofu as well. Both meat lovers and vegetarians would love the food choices here. It is amazing to see 15 options for broth and we picked 4 different flavors (JAPANESE TONKOTSU, ORIGINAL TOMATO, BLACK BONE CHICKEN and WILD MUSHROOM). Each of them is different and very flavorful. I can tell they are all freshly made from scratch using carefully selected ingredients. The service is also excellent and fast. We will definitely come back. FYI, advanced booking is highly recommended otherwise the waiting time can be as long as 1.5-2 hours.

Probably one of the best restaurants I've been too. The service was great. My waiter was cool, funny and took good care of us. He had great suggestions and descriptions. The food was fresh and really good. Lettuce wraps for days! The lettuce was fresh and crunchy. That was a big plus for me. I'll definitely stop in here for lunch next time I'm in Boston.

I am very excited to make this review, because I have had absolutely amazing experiences at Q both in-person dining, and take-out. Every time I have eaten from Q, the food quality and taste have been out of this world. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cool and definitely a vibe. Everything I have ever ordered from the menu has been delicious. I order new things every time and find myself shocked with how good the food is. Q has a cheesecake-factory style menu with many things. You would think it would be a jack of all trades where all the food takes ok, but quite the opposite - Q is a master of many trades. My most recent order was takeout of some of my favorite dishes. 1) Sesame chicken - sweet and savory combination with a hint of spiciness. (5/5) 2) Mushroom Chicken (5/5) - Mushrooms are cooked well and are savory. Chicken is salty and savory. There is roasted garlic that adds even more flavor. Definitely a healthier alternative to some things on the menu and is very rewarding in that aspect.

MAKE A RESERVATION. Visited for 6pm reservation on Saturday, 5/28, 2022, the beginning of Memorial Day weekend. Lined up, lots wait till 7pm. The second wave started around 7:30. Pick one/two soup form the spicy/non spicy sections. My recommendation-> PICK TRADITIONAL HERBAL SOUP. That was exceptional. Our server was VERY nice. Just ask how to order the pot. I’ll be back here many times when I’m in Boston.

4.5🌟 Pretty good authentic hotpot, albeit a little pricy. On a snowy Boston afternoon, What better than a hotpot. We go it, without reservation and were tabled pretty quickly. And, The hotpot experience, overall was a good one. Hotpot was yummy and food was good for the tummy. Chicken breast was well cut and nice portion. Meatballs and noodles was great, too. The portion of veggie and mushroom platter was on the lower side, for the price. However, for the quality—can be understood. But… …the most annoying thing, (reason i had to dock one star, although I wanted to dock half if possible)—the service. The server seemed so hasty in returning the bowls, one guy (not our designated server) even took our sauce/seasoning while we were eating. I mean, what’s the rush for? Winter Olympics? Will visit again, with friends.

Great experience. They have a whole lot of options for broths. Vegetarian options available too. You can order stuff other than hotpot too. Their house special friend rice was amazing. You can also order 2 different broths. All in all a really great family experience restaurant.

Great place in Chinatown the noodles were unbelievable definitely don't miss them. The mongolian beef was tender and had some bite. This was the perfect start to the day.

A overrated place. Sushi is subpar and service is one of the horrible I have ever had in a restaurant. Server seemed disinterested. Hot pot was decent but can find much better place within the same neighborhood. Seating is cramped. Definitely not worth for your $$$..

What a fabulous restaurant! We are in town because my husband ran the Boston marathon and we booked this place to eat after the race because of the reviews. The high ratings on this place is well deserved. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with friendly faces. Our server (didn’t get his name but Asian man with hair tied back) was very helpful and informative. We told him we were visiting and he gave us some pointers on what to order. Everything was delicious! We had two young children and he was very patient with them and accommodating. One of the dishes was delayed but he was always giving us updates and checking on our needs. Our children even said they loved everything which is rare for our 2 and 4 year old! Easily the best restaurant we tried in our five-day trip.

Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful gluten-free options, including the best soy sauce I've ever had. The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and fast, and they will remember you. They play great music and there's a delightful atmosphere. This is the best place to have a good time and eat delicious hot pot. I recommend reservations.

Our server Chan was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and provided outstanding service! The staff was very welcoming, and the ambiance was nice. It was my first time trying hot pot so I wasn't sure how it worked or what to order and he explained everything so easily and recommended which broths to use, we ended up going with the Wagyu and it was incredible. Well worth the price! The soup dumplings were amazing as well. We will definitely be back next time we are back in town!

Calm, authentic restaurant offering great sitting availability and a plethora of food choices. Friendly, outgoing staff and nice pop music playing. I had the hot pot choice for just one. It added up quickly but it was amazing. I got an appetizer, hot pot and the chocolate cake. I was able to take some to go. I would recommend

The bartenders seemed like they were on one accord, I liked that. The sushi was okay...we got the Volcano roll and the T&T roll. The drinks were good! But that fried rice.....Even better. The seasoning, flavorful!

Intimate, posh and sensual. Just right. We ordered hot pot (of course) and the lamb and sirloin were amazingly marbled and sliced perfectly! The broth options are substantial. I prefer spicy and ai wasn't disappointed. My guest chose a more savory tomato option, again, no disappointments here! Our server was attentive and did not hover. The bar has Soju (bonus points!) and the price was right. Great appetizer list. Cozy little booths and even a sushi bar. All in all I truly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back!

Our waiter showed us how to do hot pot for our first time. Talked us through each step recommended things. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth the price.

We’ve been to many many many hotpot locations and this is by far one of the best. It’s so tasty and delicious. We absolutely loved our hotpot soups.

Incredible! They sat us right away even though they were busy. We considered hot pot but decided to keep eating sushi after our “appetizer” roll. We started with our waiter recommendation of The Q Roll and then had the Mango Sweetheart Roll. In between rolls, the sushi chef made us a ball of our left over ingredients. So thoughtful and delicious. We ended with the house made dumplings. Highly recommend this place for their food and service!

Great cold beef appetizer and Dan Dan noodles. Decent cocktails to go along with the meal as well. Nice, cozy environment with excellent service. Definitely recommend!

Huge variety of delicious foods! So many different meat and veggies from their Hot Pot menu. There are also all sorts of chinese & japanese dishes from the kitchen & sushi bar. ON TOP OF THESE, there are smoothies from fresh fruits, cute mocktails & cool cocktails! I literally can go every day and not have anything repeated .

Excellent chicken and broccoli. They gave us homemade hot chili sauce on the side. WOW it was great. Fancy C was our waiter. Very professional and kind.

The best HOT-POT place in Boston, the sushi section is super fast and delicious, also the drink menu has a lots of great cocktails, friendly stuff and service, we enjoyed a lot and definitely we will visit again 🙏🏼

What an incredible find!! Their menu is vast but every dish was prepared expertly and efficiently! Friendly and fast, delicious and soulful, this is a great place for great food!!

Stopped in for lunch yesterday.This was my first hot pot experience and it did not disappoint! I was with my son and his fiancé and this was their recommendation. They had been before and loved it! Everything was so fresh and absolutely delicious! It was fun trying new varieties of mushrooms I’ve never heard of before. Our server was very friendly, attentive and efficient. Very knowledgeable about the food choices. This will definitely be the list for a repeat visit.

Went there with friends! We were serviced quickly and our server was generous. the atmosphere is not heavily lit and modern. We ordered a half half mala and tomato broth (I personally didn't think regular mala was that spicy). Both had lots of flavour, I don't know if the pot was just big, or if it was just half full when we first got it. Loved the beef tongue ($19) and Angus, cut beautifully thin, soft and well marbled! (both go well with a combi sauce of satay, soy sauce, and scallions 😊) Noodles looked a bit raggedy but cooked well; each enough for a 1.5 person serving. Vegetables came in small portions, great to get potato, bok choy, or bean sprouts to soak up the soup as they cook. Drinks I'd personally recommend is the avocado smoothie! I grew up drinking it as a child and the taste was very nostalgic. It's blended to the point of being light airy, not too heavy on the stomach as you dine. Dessert was the coconut and mango sorbet, you can't really go wrong with these two. Cold, sweet, and the coconut had flesh bits in it. Better for warmer temp weather, I still enjoyed it nevertheless. One small complain is that there was to be a dead gnat on the bok choy, unsure if it's just because it was cleaned too quickly or something else. I also prefer using small spiders instead of a spaghetti spoon, longer chopsticks to scoop noodles.

I could go on and on about how amazing the food is here because it really is, we will be forever customers whenever we visit Boston. But even more importantly the staff here made our night. They were top notch and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcomed as newbies to the hot pot dining experience, they even went out of their way for our 10 year old daughter. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Ambience was great. The waiter was amazing, he asked if it was our first time here and walked us through the process of ordering a "Mongolian Hot Pot". He was also helpful with drink recommendations. If you are looking for delicious Asian cuisine in downtown Boston, Q is where it's at.

It is a great restaurant for the Hotpot, the ambience is good, service was amazing (brownie points for our server!). Was our first time trying out this cuisine; we tried the hotpot split : Szechuan Chili and Black bone Chicken broth. It was delicious! But we would recommend that they simplify the menu, especially for someone who has no knowledge of how to order. Even though it was an early dinner for us, a couple of their popular items (that we wished to try) were already over for the day. Would love to go back and add the fifth star to the review.

Only waited 10m to get in. Food and drinks are fantastic. The volcano roll was out of this world. Q keep up the great work.

My husband and I are in Boston for our 1 year wedding anniversary, and we came here for dinner our first night. Omg... Okay. So. I highly recommend calling ahead and making a reservation. They get super busy, and for good reasons! We had popcorn chicken and scallion pancakes for apps, my husband had the spicy Q Special soup and I had the chicken pad thai. The Q Special was vegetarian, but my husband absolutely loved it. The pad Thai was probably the best I've ever had, and I've had it in several places back home in NYC. The popcorn chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly. The scallion pancakes were crispy yet chewy, not greasy, and came with a nice dipping sauce (hoisin with tamarind? Not sure). For drinks he had the Rush Hour and I had the Half Moon Mojito. His drink was so strong it was like drinking shots lol Mine was perfect, on the lighter side, and delicious. I took pictures but not until we'd already started eating, so I ruined the presentation.. Sorry! Our waiter was very sweet and attentive, made sure we everything we needed without being intrusive. The restaurant is very clean and cozy, all the staff were friendly. If you do the valet parking, it's $7 cash to validate so make sure you have cash on you! There's literally no street parking, trust me. We tried. Overall a great first dining experience in Boston. I seriously wish they were a chain with a location closer to home..

Great food, great environment, best if all phenomenal staff! Super friendly and made our first experience amazing. Can't wait to come back again. Best sushi and you have to definitely try their mango sorbet!

Amazing food. Can't go wrong with anything you order. Our waiter Johnny was top notch!

My friend group and I enjoyed this place a lot! The hot pot was good and really affordable and I thought the Sweetheart Roll that we ordered was super cute. Our waiter was really cool and made our environment feel comfortable/fun too ! Definitely will be going here again. :D

Pretty good meal with good special flavors and a good quantity of meat. Nice to sit in and great service. I felt like it was a bit overcooked imo

I went here with my family and highly recommend it. We got a hot pot and we were extremely satisfied! Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. She thoroughly explained everything to us seeing as it was our first time there. I would definitely recommend going there!

Hot pot at it's best. There are a few things that set this place apart in a good way. The selection of broths is great. Their mushroom broth is full of flavor without being thick. The tom yum broth is tangy, slightly spicy, and well balanced. The cool thing about the soup ingredients is they can be ordered as platters and/or alla cart. The have great mushroom options/platters as well. The tuna ball appetizer is special. It's a good portion of high quality fish well crafted and flavors are on point. This place is great and I can't wait to go back.
