    First time trying hot pot! It was so good! I loved everything about it. They give you a paper menu to choose your broths, meats, and veggies. Then you can go to the sauce bar and choose the sauces you want. The waitress was great and made sure we knew how everything worked. Overall, it was a great experience! And the price was on point. ❤️

    This place it’s awesome. The food is so delicious. First time eating here and can’t wait to go again. Very clean place. It’s a little far from where I live (Brighton) but was told they are opening one near The Denver Outlets up north. I hope it’s true. It was 3 of us with 3 orders of dumplings and each had a soup with multiple meats and it was 104 dollars for all ( not including the tip). Not bad if you ask me, since it was super filling. I highly recommend you call to make a reservation because we went yesterday, Sunday, and it was packed. Great place. Just thinking about it, makes me hungry again .

    We were excited to go and try a hotpot for the first time. Effervescent we arrived it was very exciting and beautiful, the food liked good until we tasted it. I don't know if we were doing it wrong or what, but it was bland and had no flavor. You have the option to add sauces to your hotpot but no clue what to add to make it taste better. So ended up with a hot mess of gross soup. The staff were not very helpful and avoided us the whole time. Sorely disappointed 😞.

    Unassuming spot in a very hip part of Aurora. Me and my bro went for a last second hot pot session. Definitely do the all you can eat option. It's worth it. Food came out fast, sauce bar was well stocked and the service was on point. Highly recommend going here.

    All I can say is; Wow! This place is amazing! The atmosphere is toned down and modern, with high ceiling to provide plenty of air for the restaurant to have many active stove tops at every booth. With clean and presentable displays for your to get your sauce mixtures for your food. The food is almost as fresh as immediately picking it yourself. With a wide variety of Asian greens and a wide array of meats to try, including squid. All fresh and cut just right for the hot pot. The service was above and beyond. The waitresses encouraged us to try different leafy greens when asked about them, along with putting in suggestions for the proper sake for the occasion, they did not miss a single step. Amazing effort from everyone.

    Asian hot pot with unlimited meats, veggies, and noodles for around $20 per person. You receive your own pot of broth and your own burner which is built into the table. You boil the broth, add the raw meat and veggies, and take them out when you’re ready to eat them. There is also a large section of sauces/seasonings that you can use to transform your broth into any flavor you would like. Definitely plan on taking your time and spending a while here to maximize your experience. Also, don’t ask for more food than you plan on finishing because you can get charged extra if you waste food. Overall, I think this is a great place to bring friends or family if you want a fun dining experience and you have a lot of time to spend.

    Absolutely delicious! Gotta try it. Yeap you make your own soup but holy smokes it’s delicious. You can order as many meats as you want and then the veggies in the side. There’s a table on the back with condiments and rice for any you might need for your soup. Both is always being refilled throughout your stay. I would say there’s room for improvement with the service at the table. We constantly had to get her attention for extra meats and anything else we needed. She was always on her phone or talking to the other waiters but not focused on the tables. The food and variety though is really good.

    Aki Hot Pot is easily my favorite hot pot spot in Denver. I have tried multiple and always end up coming back to this one. The dining experience is all you can eat for 2 hours at reasonable prices. And the menu has great variety! From the various broth options to the large list of soup ingredients, you have a crazy amount of flavor combination that can be created. And they also have a sauce bar if you want to really get fancy. The service is also excellent. The staff is extremely friendly and quick to refill drinks and soup ingredients when needed. They do get busy during lunch and dinner hours, but take reservations if you want to make sure to secure a spot. My family and I love this restaurant and usually go at least once a month. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

  • 4/5 Bobby E. 8 months ago on Google
    I decided to bring my daughter and mom here for a bday dinner. None of us has ever been to a hot pot and I was a bit confused on how to get things started. I had questions about the menu but no one seemed to care. I finally filled out the menu items I recognized and just went with that. The food (frozen) came out quickly but then I had no idea what I needed to do next. I wasn't sure how to work the table/stove. I even mentioned that to a server and she just walked away. The food was pretty good and they offered us refills on any foods we liked. Then the bill came and they charged us for 3 adult meals. I asked them to redo the bill since I had an 11 year old and an 80 year old with me. They fixed the bill immediately and I got those discounts. I didn't like that I had to ask for those discounts though. The cons outweighed the pros in this case, so I won't be back anytime soon. I will give it a shot eventually, but not right away.

    What a great place. It's all you can eat for 90 minutes. Kids prices and adult prices. Affordable and fun. You literally get to play with your food. Service was amazing. Don't forget the condiment bar they have. Oh yeah! Ice cream at the end.

  • 5/5 Tom L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nothing more satisfying than seeing all your food items partying in a boiling soup of your choice (bone broth, hot, or herbal). Hot Pot, or referred to as "steamboat" in South East Asia, is a communal meal and normally a fun culinary experience, especially for first-timer. Aki has an individual hot plate on each table. All the proteins, vegetables, and soup base can be selected from the order sheet and the best part - All You Can Eat. The selections are not a lot compared with my other experiences, but they were enough, and they appeared fresh. Don't forget to get creative with sauces. The service was very prompt and met our expectations. Next time you come here, just cook it, dip it and enjoy it!

    My spouse and I chose this restaurant for our 20th anniversary and we were not disappointed. The food was fresh and the broths we chose were seasoned well and tasty. The staff were attentive and nice, keeping our table stocked with veggies and meat. The fatty beef is best- order more than you thought of that. Noodles are a must- I prefer udon. Lovely meal.

    All you can eat and great selection! Only complaint is the sauces they bring out is mixed with a bit too much oil, but great place for hot pot otherwise! Bonus, they also give you ice cream for dessert after you're done eating!

    This was my first time at this place. Never experienced something like this before but the staff were very courteous and explained everything to me. They bring everything you order almost instantly and you cook it yourself on the table top “stove. Highly recommend the quail eggs and fish tofu with udon noodles. Just wish they had N/A beer. Definitely will be coming back.

    This is a great place to relax and stuff your gut with amazing hot pot. The staff is friendly and attentive to make sure you have everything you need. The food is delicious and fresh. Definitely recommend stopping by for some hot pot!

  • 5/5 Forge T. 2 years ago on Google
    Pleasant service, good all you can eat value. Polite and attentive staff. The hot and spicy broth is excellent, and has a good kick. The selection of options for hot pot is solid. Especially in regards to mushrooms, sea food, and more traditional options. Tables were clean and the station with extra sauces and spices was well stocked.

    We had a party of 20 people but the party kept getting smaller and they were very nice and accommodating! I highly recommend this fun food experience! You also get a blue Bonny ice cream at the end! So delicious, I had a wonderful birthday thanks to the friends at hot pots.
