We love hotpot! This place has great broth flavors, tender beef, so many menu options. You pick a brith, or 2. I always get the tomato, it's so good. Then you pick 4 different types of meats. The wagyu is always good. Each person gets a special item...we went with crab legs and spring rolls. Next, you go to the back area and select a variety of vegetables, noodles, and some special skewers with various meats to put in the hot pot. Finally, mix up your dipping sauces...lots of spicy and savory choices. Take it all back to the table and cook away. It only takes a minute or so to cook the meats, the vegetables you just add to the pot and spoon out when they're ready. It's a dining experience! Fun for the whole family! Go earlyish as it gets busy.

Very delicious food! Friendly and quick service! When in Philadelphia, I highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal! Had a late dinner with my wife, son and his GF! We all enjoyed it!. #D-LOrecommended

My friend and I went to MLBB Hot Pot yesterday and it was very fun! The environment was relaxing and the service was amazing. Since this was our first time at this establishment, it was explained in detail about how a hotpot works and the variety of fresh meats, vegetables, and sauces that they have to offer. We made it just in time for their all you can eat lunch special, where we also had the option to grab skewers too. I had a great time, and I hope everyone checks them out

I came with some of my friends to check out this place since I saw some good reviews online and it did not disappoint. I also like the music they were playing it was calm and hype. They also have a full bar and have different drinks in the fridge but they do cost extra. I also like the sauce station because they have different side dishes like seaweed, edamame, and oranges after we finish. I think this is a good place to stop by for dinner.

If you guys love hot pot like I do, or this may be your first experience, you have to check out @mlbb_hotpot on Arch Street in Philadelphia's China Town. I've had a lot of the hot pots in my general South Jersey area and a few in the Philly area, but this may be my favorite thus far. My spicy broth was the perfect combo of heat and bold flavors that I expect in a hot pot broth. The sauce bar has everything you need to make a great dip, and the meat/seafood/veggie self-serve wall is extensive. It's so convenient to grab it yourself and just dunk the skewers in your broth. I absolutely loved seeing how many skewers we dropped in our bucket too. Hot pot is a really fun experience, and I am eager to come back again soon!

Great option for all-you-can-eat buffet hot pot. This restaurant features a Chinese and haidilao approach to hot pot at reasonable prices. Staff are kind and hospitable, with options for english or mandarin available. Order and options also include small bites and beverages. Recommended for mid-range budget and a hearty appetite. Will visit again

Typical hot pot but it felt like it took a while for our food choices to come out and some were even forgotten until we asked. My broth was a little lackluster even though it’s a “favorite”. We both enjoyed the wagyu (definitely not real wagyu). Weirdly enough no napkins at the table even though it feels like hotpot is kinda messy.
