Ibasaw 五味七品楼 95 Middlesex Street, Malden, MA 02148

"It's always my best hotpot buffet."

"I love this place. This is a gem for all you can eat hot pot in Boston area and price wise you cant really beat it. On top of being open late, they also offer sushi menu. I have been coming here for years and the owners and the staff are always welcoming. The broth variety is amazing and you can do single or split flavors. For those that never been too hot for I would suggest to bring somebody that has the knowledge how it works but it's very simple and since the meet is very thin sliced, it really takes no time to make it perfect. If you do not like to cook for yourself and rather be served, just stick with the sushi menu. Thank you to all of the Ibasaw crew for being who you are."

"My first time at a Hot Pot restaurant. Choices of broths, foods and sauces / condiments were a little overwhelming. Fortunately, the couple we went with were regulars. Broths and sauces are garlicky. Food offerings were good. Service was OK. Atmosphere was cafeteria like. It’s more about the experience."

"Last night, we had the opportunity to visit this restaurant for the first time. If you have previous experience with hot pot, the process is quite straightforward. The order sheet was provided on our table, allowing us to make our selections. Both the broth and the food arrived shortly after we placed our order. The sliced beef and crab stood out as particularly fresh and delicious. Although it appeared that they might have been understaffed last night, our waitress did an admirable job. She was friendly and promptly attended to our requests. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and an enjoyable dinner for us."

"Probably the better hot pot buffet around Boston. Shabu sucks since there is no unlimited meats, while hotpot buffet does not have as much variety in sauces. Broths are very flavorful with decent quality meats. Definitely a must try if you want hotpot buffet with unlimited meats."
