Not the best hot pot I have had, but the waitress were super friendly and helpful. They serve hot pot with a giant pot, good for a group, but might be too big for an individual. The sauce plates were amazing, with five basic ingredients(hot sauce, sha-cha, garlic, cilantro and scallion). I also asked for a plate of white vinegar, and glad they have it(many Chinese restaurants only have red or black vinegar)
I went with a large group of friends and we ordered Hot Pot and we were half way through dinner when we found a long hair in the hot pot broth and none of us had long hair. We told the waiter and they took the hot pot away and it took them a very long time to replace our Hot Pot by the time we got it back we had lost our appetites and our friends that hadn't been eating hot pot were already finished eating and were just waiting for us to get our hot pot back. My friend and I are regulars there and typically really enjoy the restaurants but after that experience I do not think any of us will ever return to the Q. Below is a picture of the hair that we found in the hot pot.
Its not hard to find a hot pot restaurant in Boston these days, but this one is great. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious and the portions are great. I love that I get to take home what I haven't finished. The ambience is wonderful, everything feels very intimate even though you're surrounded by people. I have to say this place is hopping so call ahead or be prepared to wait, it would definitely be worth it though.
You’d better make a reservation as we waited for half an hour. The food was great and is also good. A little expensive.
Great foe those that like hot pots and chinese food. The food is fresh and the hot pots are wonderful. You'll want to keep coming back. They offer signature cocktails that are creative and very good.
This place has a great menu, and everything was excellent! Their hot pots are authentic and tasty, their sushi is fresh and delicious, and their appetizer selection is big and tasty! Last time I was there I had their pad Thai, which was surprisingly good for a place that doesn't specialize in Thai food, and Taro bubble tea, which is always good! I highly recommend you try this place if you have the opportunity!
Unique restaurant with a lovely ambiance, not too classy, but not too casual. The 6 of us were seated right away. Waitress was amazing, remembered all of our orders and explained the menu to us as many times as we needed. We ordered tons of food, and the food started coming out almost immediately, as if we had ordered ahead. Food was top notch, I've been to Nobu in NY and this food quality wasn't far off from that. When the bill came, we were surprised by how CHEAP it was! We each ordered multiple rolls of sushi, drinks and apps, but the bill was way lower than expected. Great value and quality and great service, will be returning again.
Great options of Mongolian and Chinese food. Their hot broth pots are the best and are value for money. Excellent food, especially sushi. I took one star away as service could have been a little better. Otherwise a great restaurant and must visit!!
When I tell you we are regulars at Q, I literally mean we go (at least) once a week for hotpot. Their other food looks great and their menu is HUGE and probably awesome, but we've only ever had hotpot.
So here's the deal. Pick your broth, pick your meats, veggies, sides, literally anything you want to put in a soup they probably have. Add as you go. Enjoy.
We had one awful experience and even that didn't deter us from coming back. We will always be loyal to what we consider to be the best hotpot in Boston! The staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. They don't take reservations but you can do "call ahead" to put your name on the list and then check in when you get there, but not sure that really saves you much time. There is almost always a wait and for good reason, Q is great! They also validate parking for the garage next door so there's no excuse not to come here!
Fantastic hot pot! I recommend getting 2 broths - the regular base stock and for those of you who like spicy food, the Mala broth. It's fantastic!
Some of the best sushi I've eaten is at the Q. I always heard good things about it from my friends - about the food and the service, and they're true. I didn't have a chance to have any hot pot during my visit, but the sushi and the drinks were really good. The cream cheese was highlighted well in the Canada roll without being too heavy, and the Crazy roll had great shrimp and came with a really tasty sauce. The Q earns the 5th star from me because I usually don't like sweet potato, and certainly not in my sushi, but when I tried my friend's sweet potato roll, it was amazing! The sauce they pair with the sweetness does a great job of developing upon what could easily have been a one-note taste. And if you like fruity drinks, get the first one on the menu (can't remember the name).
I first came here about 3 months ago and never stopped coming. I was skeptical that a place known for Hot Pot would be good out there sushi. I needn't have feared. Their Sushi is excellent. They also make incredible cocktails, and their smoothies are just delicious. Of course the hot pot is exceptional as well. All around a fantastic place for lunch or dinner.
This is one of my all time favorites. I've taken friends, gone for birthdays (including mine), great for dates and the other night a business dinner with co-workers from Germany where people go to eat to socialize not just eat. I've gotten hot pot and sushi, both outstanding but I love the hot pot. In the winter, you walk in and are immediately hit with the steam of amazing broths to warm you up. The vegetables and mushrooms are unreal fresh and while I don't eat them the meats looks amazing too. Dinner here takes a long time as you cook each bite in the broth(s) (you can get two different broths to have variety). This is great if you want to eat, chat, drink and be happy. No reservations so I recommend calling ahead (30 minutes during the week, 60 min on the weekends). I have personally waited over 2 hours (when not calling ahead) which should tell you how amazing this place is as who would ever wait that long. For this place, I would! One note, the sushi is some of the best in the area. I don't get it often but when I do I am extremely pleased with it.
