Coco Hot Pot,

743 Bethel Road, Columbus, OH 43214

"I stopped by for lunch with my kids. We got there right at 11am, no issues there. I've not had hot pot previously, so I was a little nervous... but so intrigued! I did some research before, we wanted beef and shrimp for sure. So, our server helped us pick some options. He explained the spice levels, which were spot on, great for my kids. We ordered the chicken broth and the beef fat teddy bear which was fun to watch melt away in the broth, and also the mushroom broth (our favorite one). The beef comes with ample veggies and tofu and the mushroom broth included noodles, also a win for the kids! When the food came out, broth first, you let it get to a boil then add the meats and veggies to cook- we jumped the gun here but our server was keeping and eye and let us know to wait a little longer. We also ordered shrimp paste- sounds funny, it's just ground up shrimp. You cook it in clumps and they turn into little shrimp meatballs that you can add to your soup or do in sauce. They were so good! Everything was fresh, servers were attentive. We will be back!"

"Not a bad spot if you like Chinese hotpot. Medium spice level was quite spicy, mild would have been a better choice to taste and enjoy your experience."

"Great experience - delicious and fresh hot pot options, expansive sauce bar, quick and helpful service. This place is a win!! We’ll be back."

"A good friend treated us to a meal here and it was my favorite hot pot experience. Definitely recommend trying the fresh lobster (you can choose one from the tank and pay by the lbs)."

"We stopped by for dinner. We started with some dumplings in chili oil. The hot and spicy oil was great to give the dumpling a punch. I would highly recommend that. Moving on to the main course we ordered the hotpot. This is the first time that we tried Chinese hotpot, and as an inexperienced it didn’t turn out that wonderful. We chose a selection of three soup bases, and a beef combo. We mostly ordered the ‘ popular’ options. The hot and spicy soup was good, however one of the varieties had a lot of Sichuan peppercorns. That has a huge kick/ numb effect on your tongue. The soup broth had a good umami flavor. However, the numb effect and the hotness was too much for us to handle. Overall we couldn’t finish stuff. The bill was much higher and expensive than what we expected. Maybe next time we would invite a Chinese friend with us for guidance."
