Authentic hotpot experience. The food is pretty solid with good variety of options. But I noticed some flies in the sauce bar so I would be wary about that. Another thing is that servers mainly speak Chinese so you might want to bring a friend who can speak communicate. Overall, it's a good spot to get your hotpot fix if you're ever in Flushing

Stepping into Xiang Hotpot & BBQ in Flushing felt like stumbling upon a hidden gem. The ambiance was absolutely stunning, making it the perfect spot to impress any guest. While slightly on the pricier side, the exquisite decorations and high-quality meat justify every penny. Opting for the Sichuan broth, I embarked on a culinary adventure, while my spice-sensitive friend indulged in the comforting mushroom broth. From the delightful octopus balls to the crispy yet tender fried chicken, every dish was a flavor explosion. The marinated meats were especially noteworthy, boasting exceptional taste and texture. With an extensive menu offering, Xiang Hotpot & BBQ is ideal for special occasions.

Pretty good expensive food, but the bear was a bit underwhelming in my opinion. Came here since we heard they were closing, so I didn't want to lose out on this opportunity to try out one of Flushing's staple hotpot places. Service was quite good, but you also had to pay for sauces for your group. When first entering, the aroma of spice and hotpot flavors hits you like a wave, and the food smell sticks to your clothes after, but luckily they had a cleaning station that helps you remove the smell from your clothes before you leave. Would recommend others to try this place out before they close in a week.

We tried their super value lunch set for 2 at just $88! It comes with their special wine-marinated beef slices, paired perfectly with a seafood platter, fresh vegetables, and more. Trust us, its so yummy and a deal you don't want to miss! With their beautiful and spacious restaurant, Xiang Hotpot is the ultimate party destination!

The ambiance was so pretty and I'm totally in love with how the aesthetic is. The interior was designed to be like a traditional Chinese housing or restaurant. It would be great for a big party with the amount of decorations they had. The service was quick and they answered all the information that we needed. They were really helpful with helping us understand the Mother's Day deal and what was provided. They also guided us on how to eat certain things. The food was great & my mother would say so herself. The Mother's Day special was fancy and aesthetically pretty especially the rice cake they gave it (it was super yummy). It's sad to see the bear go but it was so pretty and the sauce was pretty good. Definitely recommend this place if you love hot pot

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and I'd really recommend it for that! They have private-ish areas to dine and they decorate with birthday balloons. Plus they enthusiastically sing the happy birthday song. Hotpot itself was pretty standard and the spice levels were good - not overly spicy compared to the newer hotpot restaurants in flushing. Placing our orders from an iPad made ordering quick and efficient. Service was nice and accommodating.

Solid option for hot pot in Flushing if you're not in the mood to wait for Chongqing Lao Zao. This spot used to be called Spice World, and is located in an impressive ornate space on the 2nd floor of the New World Mall. For vegetarians, they have the usual classic tofu and vegetable offerings, but with a few unique additions like their black tofu, which was quite tangy and something I would order again. The spice bar is well-equipped with plenty of options, and they also have a few non hot pot appetizers on the menu that you can order if you're so inclined.

We spent an afternoon looking for Hot Pot flavored chips (apparently Lays makes a lot of exotic flavored chips for countries outside the USA). After having no success, we consoled ourselves by getting some hotpot in Flushing. Ambience - restaurant is located inside a shopping center. It has a very large dining room decorated like a Disney attraction. At night, there is some costumes character show running around chugging beer?! Food: very large selection of foods for your hotpot. My kids favorite is the teddy bear shaped block of spicy butter that is melted in your broth. TL/DR: this is a restaurant that provides not just food, but a dining experience.
