Uncle Hot Pot

Great service. Authentic Chinese experience. You'll feel like you are in china with so many unique foods.

While visiting Salt Lake City, as an avid hot pot enthusiast from the Bay Area, I was intrigued by the concept of Uncle Hot Pot. The self-serve, all-you-can-eat style was a refreshing change from fixed menus, offering culinary adventure and freedom. Right off the bat, I was impressed by the sheer variety of ingredients available. Fresh-cut meats, an array of seafood, vibrant veggies, and an assortment of broths simmered invitingly, beckoning me to dive in. But with so many options, I found myself a bit overwhelmed. Enter Shay, the owner, who graciously stepped in as our personal hot pot sherpa. Shay's passion for her restaurant and expertise in crafting the perfect hot pot experience was evident. She guided us through the broths (the spicy Szechuan was a personal favorite!), recommended must-try meat cuts (the thinly sliced lamb was melt-in-your-mouth good), and even showed us some secret dipping sauce combinations. But the true star of the show for me was the chicken legs. Don't let their humble appearance fool you. These beauties were marinated to perfection, cooked tender and juicy, and absorbed the flavors of the broth like champs. Every bite was an explosion of savory goodness. Uncle Hot Pot is more than just a meal; it's an experience. The inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and endless customization possibilities make it a perfect spot for gatherings with friends and family. And with Shay's expert guidance, even a hot pot newbie like me could navigate the buffet like a pro. If you're looking for a fun and flavorful hot pot adventure in Salt Lake City, Uncle Hot Pot is a must-try. Just be sure to ask for Shay - she'll make your hot pot journey even more delicious! Pros: * Self-service, all-you-can-eat format with a vast selection of ingredients. * Helpful and knowledgeable staff, especially the owner, Shay. * Delicious and fresh food, with highlights being the spicy Szechuan broth and the tender chicken legs. * Fun and lively atmosphere, perfect for groups. Cons: * It can be overwhelming for first-timers due to the sheer variety of options. Overall: Uncle Hot Pot is a gem in Salt Lake City's hot pot scene. With its unique self-service concept, friendly staff, and delicious food, it's a must-try for anyone looking for a fun and flavorful dining experience. Just remember to ask for Shay - She'll ensure your hot pot dreams come true! I hope this review will help you decide if Uncle Hot Pot is the perfect spot for your upcoming hot pot adventure. So, get ready to slurp with joy!

We absolutely loved the food! We came in before dinner during their downtime. The broth was phenomenal with great flavors! Loved the herbal broth and my husband had the mushroom broth, which he loved. Our darling waitress was so cute, wanting to make sure we had a great experience!! Her cute personality made it even better! The food was fresh and quick to come to the table. Great fresh lobster and crab!! This is now my favorite hot pot place!!

Saw the stellar reviews on Yelp! for Uncle Hot Pot and stopped by for an amazing dinner. The restaurant is new, very clean, and the service is amazing. Our waitress was very helpful, explained each of the ingredients, and how the menu/pricing works. The food was great and we had a wonderful time - we left an hour later very full and very happy! Great spot for a date, a family meal, or a large get together. Highly recommend and we look forward to returning to Uncle Hot Pot again very soon!

First time in, definitely the higher end of hot pot in salt lake. Our service was great. I honestly loved it all. For those that haven't been to hot pot, you don't get to take things home so come hungry and leave feeling full but in a good way. I hadn't had lobster in years and apparently I really missed it. The whole place was also very clean. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Awesome new ALL YOU CAN EAT eat Hot Pot with many food options more than other places in Utah. Broth was a little bland but after dunking all variety of meats in the broth it became more flavorful. Try it out!!! Hope they make the broth a little bit more flavorful next time. Definitely will come back!

I like so much this Uncle Hot pot Lobster, Vancouver crab, and all kinds of seafood are my favorites
