Lepot Chinese Hotpot

"This restaurant is a must go to when I come back home to the city! —> I love the individual pots & the wide variety of soups & toppings! —> The prices for the toppings are well-priced, in my opinion. —> They also have a sauce bar! it’s definitely a family favorite. What we got: Bases: • Tom Yum x2 • Valentine pot (split pot; you can choose 2 bases) Toppings: • beef filet • chinese broccoli • fish ball • quail egg • enoki mushroom • udon noodles • vermicilli noodles • shrimp PS: Kung Fu Boba is also inside the restaurant so it’s a good place to stop for dessert!!"

"It was a cool experience but the service was really lacking. Nothing was explained to us and we had to figure everything out for ourselves ie how to heat the pots, finding the sauces on our own, etc. there was zero communication and our server seemed like he couldn’t care less. Food we ordered had been missing and we were charged for food that we didn’t order. Don’t completely regret going here as it was with family and for Father’s Day but would I go back/or recommend this place? No. I’m sure there are better options elsewhere."

"Total score: 71/100 The best hotpot in town! Delicious soup bases and fresh ingredients. Micro ratings Location: 6/10 Interior design: 6/10 Cleanliness: 5/10 Macro ratings Food (flavour and presentation): 24/30 Service: 15/20 Price: 15/20 Conclusion: Dinkytown is a quiet student neighbourhood in the daytime, The restaurants centrally located and also has a boba spot at the front of the store, a tick in anyone’s book. I liked how simple the menu was and the wide array of choices of meats and vegetables, something for everyone! I have visited on three occasions and each time was consistently great. I always opt for the valentines pot which costs the same amount as a regular pot and during the meal they come over and top up your soup base with clear broth. Highly recommend the pork bone broth as it’s clear, fresh and tasty. I also really like their self service sauce station where you can make as many sauces to your taste. We ordered two lots of the soup bases, a wide selection of meats and vegetables and it ended up costing around $70 for two including a tip. Overall this spot is amazing, great service, sizeable portions and fair pricing. Would come back every week."
