Review Liuyishou Hotpot - Boston

Hot pot in Boston China Town. Many great and special meat selections. Meat quality it’s good. Special soup base - we tried coconut chicken, pepper pork stomach and pickle duck soup base. Pickle duck and coconut chicken taste similar after the food it’s done. They have tiny sauce station which can be packed with people during dinner time. We got seating area in the very back of the room which is very crowded not comfortable seating. The front section is more spacious. Pepper beef tongue it’s special but I still prefer regular beef tongue. All you can eat fruits it’s a great choice after the meal.

Outstanding hotpot! We order Mala and Golden Soup, it was so delicious! The golden soup is chicken broth with some kind of milky creamy, very delicious via dipping meats there in the hotpot. Overall customer service also great, people come around and easy to grab the server if need help. Very happy with everything and will be coming back in the future.

The most incredible hot pot I’ve ever had. The duck broth was fantastic. Don’t skip this place, you’ll regret it. We had the lamb, beef, and pork and I couldn’t pick a favorite. The handmade noodles were incredible. This place will be a go to any time we come to Boston.

We came for the 8:30pm $2.99 beef platter special. The waitlist was a while for a large group but we’re seated after 30 mins. We kinda went crazy and ordered 11 plates of it with a whole bunch of veggies and noodles on the side which we finished. Spent roughly $200. I definitely wouldn’t recommend eating anything raw or even partially especially the lettuce and beef. Although we all ate the same foods but two got sick out of 6. I also heard from other friends that they got sick after eating from this place too. I was fine so maybe it was the partially cooked veggies that they kept eating? * The first platter of beef was premium but some of the other plates were not, they had a lot of tendon/muscle on it not to be mistaken for fat. For soup base we choose the house special pork bone soup, Liu’s house special -ultra spicy , tomato, and Spicy soup base-less spicy. For me only the ultra spicy was not that spicy but for the rest of the group they were dying. Unless you can handle Sichuan spice but without the numbness I would get it. I personally really liked the heat and it definitely killed off any bacteria that may have been present. The ice cream and green bean soup/ edamame / fruits was a bonus. The $2.99/person sauce buffet was automatically included and water was free too obviously. They had snacks and strange mint flavors and also had hair ties and perfume/refreshers for free too which was the best part. Another bonus you also get a free bib!! Although 2 got sick the experience was fun and all the free stuff were perks of going so late at night and having to wait forever a long time on the waitlist. *PSA: First time trying this place and 2 of my friends got food poisoning right after eating from here confirmed by doctors note. Went to the hospital and everything. Probably was our fault but who knows. The rest of the group were fine.

this hot pot place was very yummy. we got 2 pots, each with 2 spice levels. one had medium spice and the other had mild spice. the medium spice was definitely very spicy but we might just have low spice tolerance haha. the mild spice was good. they also have cute plastic bibs to protect your clothes and a snack bar with fruit that was included when you bought sauce!

Our first time visit , environment are extremely comfortable, lady staff are helpful and answered all my questions. Food portion are good enough and fresh. Will recommend this place for dinner.

hands down my favorite hotpot spot! from service, ambiance, quality and variety, everything is top notch! the only downside of this place is the wait!!! so make sure you get yourself on the waitlist online. they do have promotions for people who wait over 1+ hour. 1+ hour wait, you get a free pitcher of plum juice (absolutely delicious btw, i am addicted), 2+ hour and 3+ hour receive bigger items like a plate of meat or something along those lines. they provide snacks and water in the front area for when you’re waiting to be seated. i love their sauce buffet which is rounded to be $3 per person; includes all kinds of sauces, condiments, fruits, and snacks like tofu skin, chicken feet, pig ear. in the same area, they also have free ice cream and asian desserts. ordering system goes through an ipad which is pretty neat as you can see items with pictures and the list of everything you’ve ordered with less pressure vs when you order with a waiter. my favorite broths are the chicken soup with fish maw and their original spicy soup. so rich in flavor, i could consume all of the soup. their top dishes for me would be the fried dough with shrimp paste, crispy pork, and egg fried rice. yummy! pricing is reasonable for the amount and quality you get. i always leave here satisfied and full with some leftovers while not breaking the bank. compared to other hotpot spots, prices are high and outrageous with small quantity. every encounter with their employees have been nothing but positive! they are fast, attentive, friendly and efficient. which i absolutely appreciate as it makes the dining experience so much more comfortable and enjoyable.

The most authentic Sichuan Hotpot in Boston downtown, period. This is my go to place after work whenever I felt like some spicy or diversified food. They also offer all-you-can-eat spices bar with snacks and fruits. Highly recommended!

I love hotpot but I'm not a fan of oily food. Don't get the Mala soup if you are not Chinese :) other than that, ok restaurants

We got the combination broth with the pork bone broth (herbal) and the house spicy broth. I’m glad we started with a mild broth bc as it heated up it got spicier. The beef and lamb platter was very filling, we also got some udon and spinach and potatoes on the side as well. The sauce bar also gave us everything we needed for a dipping sauce :) make sure to end your visit with the free ice cream at the end! Quality was very good and all of that fed two people well. Will happily return!
