LaoJie Hotpot

Came as a party of 7 on a Saturday night. It was packed, per usual. We made a reservation for 7pm and still had to wait ~35 min for an available table! We got seated at a large table upstairs. Everyone here gets individual pots, however if you're a party 6+, the extra folks are likely sharing a pot with someone. We order our hotpot items off iPads + beverages are an additional charge. Servers are prompt and clear finished plates efficiently. Their dessert was a yummy mango jelly pudding. If it's someone's birthday, that person eats free, as long as there's a party of 4+. If there are 2 bday people, the party must be 8+. Standard + reliable hotpot spot in the neighborhood that's always packed for a reason. Great AYCE price with plenty of standard hotpot options. Lots of neighborhood regul

We had the best time and the food was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. The servers are extremely attentive. They accommodated a last minute reservation. The decor inside is beautiful.

We really enjoyed our visit to this BBQ place. The atmosphere was great, and the food was excellent — we especially liked the way the grilling was done right in front of us, which made the experience even more interesting. However, one thing we didn’t enjoy as much was being told there was a 2-hour limit for staying, and then being asked to leave, even though there were still plenty of free tables. That part felt a bit unnecessary and took away from the otherwise pleasant experience.

Had my b-day there. 8 people. Private room. All was good. Just wish there was waiter service for each table. Not like all food goes to 1 table and I have to redistribute it after myself

This was at the 86th St location and it was honestly the worst experience I’ve had. Everything was fine at first, but then a server moved my belongings without saying anything. I had placed my things next to the connected booth table, and one of the servers just picked them up and moved them back to my seat without letting me know. I understand if they needed the space, but at least communicate. Later, we noticed that one of the lamb meat platters looked greenish. We told them about it, and they just took it away with no apology. After that, no one checked on us or came back to take our order. The service the whole time was horrible. Very disappointing experience. Please do better.
