Raosu

What an amazing deal - $39.99 for all you can eat hotpot AND sushi …in Manhattan! The value made the food taste even better. I loved everything about my lunch here, delicious food (great options for hot pot, sushi rolls, and sides which come inclusive), super friendly service (went for Sunday late lunch so there were only 3 other tables dining), and gorgeous interior. Definitely the prettiest hot pot restaurant I’ve ever been to! Please be sure to come hungry because it’s a ton of food! And I think it was really tasty (I recommend the mushroom soup base) especially for the price! Also, they have happy hours. I’ll have to come back to try the elevated AYCE option ($79) which has a larger menu of hotpot items and sushi AND beer!

We had a fabulous hotpot sushi dinner here. Staffs are super friendly and always attentive to our needs. The food is so delicious and fresh. Definitely luxury feel for the decors inside. Update: 3rd visit while in New York. Service was slow and waiter has avoided my son’s requests. The salmon sashimi came out not fresh and super small. Don’t order their sushi, barely a super thin slice of fish, with a lot of rices. The quality of food and service is definitely going down the drain. Too sad for the business.

Excellent stop for traditional hot pot or sushi! For $40 we had unlimited sushi and hot pot selections. The servers were very helpful, and the quality of everything was excellent. I’ve had hot pot style meals in Japan and this was just as good!

This is the best hotpot spot we have been to in New York! Unlimited hotpot and sushi paired with the best service imaginable! There were so many options for add-ins for the hotpot and the sushi was incredibly fresh. It feels like a VIP experience really. The entire place is decorated so nicely! One (very small) critique is that the very spicy hotpot could use just a little more flavor. It was still good (and plenty spicy), but need some more flavor.

This place is new and the people are still learning, and you can tell (they messed up our reservation and had us wait ~20 min to be seated), but the attentive service here really deserves 6 stars. Our server was endlessly patient, and at no point were we made to feel like we had ordered too much. This place is true AYCE, and they don’t slow down service to make you order less, which I have experienced at other AYCE places and was worried might happen. We did the hotpot & sushi combo, and the experience was really worth it. Unlimited salmon sashimi and unlimited unagi was a dream come true. The hotpot itself was unremarkable, but I really wasn’t expecting much there. There were lots and lots of menu options, but some we wanted to order were sold out. I enjoyed all the appetizers and desserts (I basically tried everything). The appetizers and fruits were self service, which was convenient since we came famished. The total came out to be ~$100pp (tax + tip + 2 pots among 6 people). Did we each eat $100 worth of food? No way, not even close. But this high end AYCE felt almost like a festival, and for days I was feeling like a kid looking forward to a party that couldn’t come soon enough. I loved the entire dining experience, but I wouldn’t go back anytime soon. Certain things are best enjoyed in small doses; theme parks are one, and Raosu is another. Eating past satiety can’t be healthy for anyone. UPDATE I went again on Aug 20, and they clearly stepped up their game. I noticed the most drastic improvement in appetizers and desserts — I tried basically everything and the mango pomelo sago was so much better than the first time. Service continued to be excellent. They changed their menu/prices a little and it came out to be ~$80pp after tips and taxes. I am coming back for sure!
