First time having ayce hot pot downtown and it was as expected - not that great.

Pros:
- Drink station with unlimited honey black tea, soya milk, and plum juice.
- Sauce station has a wide variety of sauces to choose from.
- Individual pots.
- Good meat/seafood balls.
- Selection of food was decent.

Cons:
- Our booth for 6 people was VERY small. You have very little space between you and the... more

"It's not perfect, you know what I mean?"
-Dining Companion-

In reference to the fact that
1) service is rather slow (if you know what you want, just order it all at once)
2) amount ordered is not always what's delivered
3) service is rather slow

But!
It's fun, and it fills you up!
A perfectly reasonable option downtown when only hotpot will do.
As mentioned, around $25 per person.

As far as hot pot goes, the food was pretty standard, the price was ok.

We were seated by the door, and it was super drafty. They refused to close the outermost door (we tried, they explained to us why the outer door must be propped open....). With every order, we had to wait 30 minutes for they do deliver some RAW FOOD, I don't understand why it takes so long, and about half of the stuff we... more

Came here for the lunch special in the afternoon, doesn't seem like anyone wants to review this place's lunch special, it was pretty awesome for the pricing, for $8 on a weekday you can get a personal pot with one choice of meat, one noodle and one veggie or the same thing with the exception instead of the meat you can have a choice of 8 meatballs, and there's quite the variety .

Something... more

I'm a big guy, so I might know a few things about food lol. I was a huge fan of little sheep hot pot as I've gone to those in Canada, USA and in China for the authentic stuff. I've got to say, of all the Hotpot places I've been to, Celebrity Hotpot is definitely the top in my top 5 favourite places to eat at for an AYCE. The staff there are super friendly, and have always catered to whatever my... more

Not much choice in the hot pot world, so if you're hankering for some hearty AYCE downtown, you'll most likely end up here.

It's a bit steep (but typical) for AYCE, so come hungry. You'll be greeted with a large selection of seafood, vegetables, and mystery meat balls. You do have options to upgrade your soup base, as well as your toppings.

Pro tip #:3214

Order the standard soup base, don't... more

Came here on a busy Saturday night and there was about a 20 minute wait for a table even though we were told it was probably a 10-15 minute wait. I usually don't wait longer than 10 minutes for a table merely out of principles, but my friends wanted hotpot and at the same time, I can't fault the restaurant as it was really busy.

Once my friends and I were seated, chose our broth and food... more

this place sucks. They also forgot some of our items and their rice is not even ready. We had to wait for 40 minutes because the kitchen just started to cook. There is an Asian waiter who wears a golden necklace looks like a gangster. We have been eating there like an hour. then he came to us and said : you passed the time limit, pay for the bill once you finished" WTF is that??? If there is a... more

Unlimited green tea! You can make your own sauce with many options. There were many side dishes to choose from too, and the soup was soo good. A very good and filling meal ^^

My favourite place in the world, their tom yum soup base is the reason I started liking hotpot. Now I come here almost every week.
The staff here are awesome, the restaurant is new and clean, food is fresh, service is fast, and the price is very reasonable for all-you-can-eat. Great place for a warm meal with good friends! :)
I grew up in North York/ Markham and I'm still trying to find a... more

Its authentic Chinese hot pot is all you can eat with a great value some of the dishes can be a little bit more fresh but overall its a good dining experience

Venue is clean, food is fresh and good and service is legendary lol coconut ice cream is good

Great place and the waiter was so helpful since it was our first time having hot pot. It was so fresh and filling and they kept brining more and more! It's all you can eat for a good price! I will come back if I'm ever in Toronto!

Great hotpot, with ok price and decent service. Hotpot was good, tom yum broth is a kill. They have different sauces and condiments, but without the sauces or condiments already tastes great by itself. Ice cream at the end is great!

They charge you extra for a lot things like Tom Yum broth. Most places just give you the option. The quality of the meat is very suspect and one of my friends ended up getting food poisoning from them and she was sick for a week after.

All you can eat never equates to quality I suggest going to made in China or heading uptown if youre really in the mood.

The Dat sauce was amazing. Waiter made a special concoction for us as well and it was delicious. Must go!!

Second time going to a hot pot restaurant. My husband and I had the chicken & beef broth and vegetable broth. We added our own blend of condiments in the soups and they both tasted great.

They have a stand where they offer unlimited unlimited drinks: ice water, honey green tea, soy milk, and plum juice. This was a great idea as we didn't have to ask for refills.

I would come here again and... more

3.5 stars rounded down.

While Celebrity Hotpot hit the spot on a rainy and cold day in Toronto, it's certainly not the best hot pot I've had. The selection is also not as great. They also forgot some of our items and it was sometimes hard to track any of the employees down. Price is okay. Restaurant is fairly newish and clean.

Celebrity Hotpot seems to charge extra for anything from mushrooms... more

Great place for hotpot. Was a cool summer evening and decided to try this place out. Super friendly service and our food relatively came out quick in under 10 minutes which I thought was phenomenal.

You have to try the Dat Sauce, that was great with all the Noodles, meats, veggies, hell it was great with everything.

Tip was included, I thought that was clever. Maybe it's because of the area... more

Tasty hot pot that was a 1st restaurant we tried when we visited Canada. Tried the tomyum soup, but not really hit me. However, their lamp soup?! (im not sure) was really good. Friendly and nice servers. Will come back if we have a chance.

Food was nice, would have loved a larger menu! Service was very good! Had to make the food so I wish I didn't enter the restaurant as hungry as I did! Was enjoyable regardless and the atmosphere was great!

Pretty good... the service was great, very nice young lady. The food was good... small portions but it's all you can eat so doesn't matter.

As usual - this place was delicious.

This time we ordered the spicy and chef special soup base.

We tried the following items:

-sweet corn (cooked in the broth is actually the most amazing thing there)
- wood ear mushrooms
- coriander
- lamb
- sliced pork
- sliced beef
- sliced lamb
- sliced pork jowl
- taro noodles (my favourite)
- deep fried tofu
- pork and leek dumpling
- wonton
-... more

I'd like to start off by complimenting the service at this restaurant! The server made my experience very easy as a first time hot pot rookie.

The food itself was fresh and delicious. Although abit bland but that may be due to my broth selection and inexperience selecting the many varieties of sauces. Make sure to ask for a seafood plate of you're having dinner, it's one per customer.

I would... more

I went here 2 times, the hotpot was great but the service was mess.

This is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that we happened upon that I really believe could be much busier than it is. They have a great corner location with windows through which you could see other patrons cooking at the table, talking, and enjoying the meal. Why not??? And so we walked in and were seated to peruse the menu. Unfortunately, it was a complete mess---way way way way way too much... more

Typical hotpot place in the middle of Chinatown, offering an AYCE option for around $20-something, which is a fair price considering the foods on the menu. Regular menu consisting of thin-sliced meats of all kinds and various vegetables--although there is an order limit on some seafood. The drink and sauce counters are self-served, unlimited servings included. The service was quick and friendly... more

my go to spot when I'm downtown and craving hot pot

in all honestly I'm not sure what it is but I love hot pot. to most people it's bland since you just boil veggies and meat but to me I feel like it taste good since I cooked it myself (lol?)

clean restaurant super fast turn over time from handing over orders to recording soup base and items of choice.

personally I always get the satay/Tom... more

Compare with other hot pot restaurants in Markham, Richmond Hill, and North York, it is far away from good. Their broths are either salty or blank and their drinks are also not good. $$$

Absolutely love this place came in not knowing what to expect but I am so happy I found it after trying it. Service was good I Ordered satay broth delicious a few different noodles some different sliced meats and a pile of fresh vegetables to cook in my broth. They have a huge selection of sauces but the one called Dat sauce is amazing "for real" I could drink it lol. Lastly I had the ice cream... more

Very good service, in fact amazing service. Friendly, fast, efficient and clean! They also gave us complimentary duck eggs (so delish!) and oh as I type this free ice cream too. Wasn't necessarily the best hotpot I've ever had (like some great ones in markham) but I was still very pleased. Left here full and satisfied. Finally have a hotpot spot to go to downtown. :)

Excellent fresh food, clean reastaurant, and great service. Had tons of lamb and ribeye beef. I would recommend to anyone. They servers speak english, but most I believe were Viet. Some speak mandarin. Also tip is included on bill. Had they not included 10% already I would have gave 15% tip. Overall highly recommended.

After reading about the hype for Celebrity hot pot we had to try it out. We have only done hot pot at home and wanted to try eating hot pot elsewhere.

We dined on a Monday evening so it was pretty much empty when we arrived. The server was friendly throughout our visit and occasionally came by to top off our broth. My favourite things to cook were the seafood items. There's nothing special to... more

We were both feeling for hot pot for a while and decided to try out celebrity hot pot after work on a Monday. We left work fairly early and ended up going to eat around 4:45pm when it was not busy at all.

I have never eaten out for hotpot before so I was interested to see what the hype was about. We were seated right away and had he menu explained to us. There were two menus; one for the... more

Comfy sofa seats. Comfy environment. Great service.

Went on a Thursday. Got to choose to sit on wherever I want at time like 3.30pm.

Love the sweet soy milk. (Unlimited)

Well organization - food stacked in square plates - increased my appetite when I see the table of food.

I nearly chose all the food on the menu! All perfect!

Aware when you chose organs: they taste good but I can not... more

It was an average day walking up Spadina heading towards our usual dumpling spot when we fancied a shot of tequila to warm our chilled bones then BANG! We stumbled upon this gem of a foodery. Where do I start?? The servers speak great English, and explained how the menu worked, but best part is.... He noticed we were absolute new bags and literally took away the sauces we had proudly made from... more

Went here over the weekend for family member's birthday celebration and was impressed by the place. Not only is there the large dual pots, you can also get individual pots of starter broth for those who don't want to share.

The quality of meat is quite good and not overly fatty. They're sliced super thin, so that means you can order a wide variety of meats without worrying about getting full.... more

First time dining here and the food was delicious. Service was phenomenal. Our waiter took the time to explain the menu to us as well as bring us some dipping sauces he put together himself from the self serve bar. Service was super friendly which made the experience 110% more enjoyable. Will definitely come back and dine again!

I'm not a fan of hot pot but I was dragged here. It is an all you can eat hot pot ($22). There is a huge variety of soup bases as well as meat, seafood, and veggie options.

You make your own sauce and your own drink refill of plum juice, soy milk, or honey green tea which is cool and sometimes annoying when you have idis and too lazy to get your own refill. Not me... just speaking on behalf of... more

Food is good. Dat sauce is the best sauce ever. Honey green tea is perfect. You can refill any time you want for the drinks. Tom yum broth and vegetable tofu broth is really really good. Fresh vegetable and fresh meat. Have the free parking after 6pm next to the restaurant ( but always full). Or if you can not find the parking, the parking lot is opposite to the restaurant.
You should to make... more

This was my first hotpot restaurant experience. I'm Chinese and my family regularly does hotpot on special occasions, and this place was very authentic. I like that everyone gets their own pot., or a big one with a divider to share. The winter melon, sliced beef, and wonton was delicious. Our soups were automatically refilled, and we had access to sauces(such as Hoisin Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Soy... more

My first hotpot experience in Toronto. Having come from Los Angeles where all sorts of Asian food reign supreme, I'm pleasantly surprised by this joint.
The place gets packed (especially in this frigid weather), so make sure to call ahead and make a reservation. Self-service station offers 4 beverage options (iced water, honey green tea, plum juice, and honey green tea) and at least 12... more

We had to wait in line but there are four people who came after us got seated before us. We we then seated to a table meant for four people anyways. Apparently two of the stoves are broken and I had to switch my seat three time and it took 4 waitress to figure out which was broken. We ordered seafood on the side but it didn't come, had to ask again for them. Some of the food we ordered from the... more

Great spot and first experience trying Hot Pot style cuisine! Decently priced for all you can eat! Has tones of meat, veggies and seafood options on the menu and an extensive make your own sauce bar. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to try something new and have a great experience doing so :)

First time trying hot pot and it was a good experience. Quite tasty and good overall.

Update: Went back here for new years eve and the service was much better. 3.5 Star at least.

Food: 3/5, a lot of variety in meat, veggies and sauce to really get a bit of everything. They did however have a lot of add-one for extra which was a bit weird for an AYCE. The honey tea was really good along with... more

This place is oookay.
Don't get me wrong I love paying $18.99 for food I won't eat! (Sarcasm)
It's not that I got anything against land animals because I don't, I just don't see why I have to pay extra for small portions of seafood.
Their Tum yum soup is pretty good along side their many sauces to accompany your meat. Big spacious dining so bring everyone including uncle Joe and grandpa Sam.
... more

The food is nothing special, albeit relatively fresh and tasty, but the all you can drink beverages (honey green tea, sweetened soy milk, & plum juice) and dipping sauces are a step above any other AYCE Chinese hotpot I've ever been to.

I did choose the option of adding $3 for 2 non-basic soup bases, tom yum and satay, and both were very good.

The restaurant is very clean, and the customer... more

Came here on a Tuesday evening with the GF and the place was relatively full...always a good sign as it means fresh food.

The ordering menu is pretty straightforward but we wanted one large pot instead of small individual ones but after asking we could not get thru. Some how other tables we able to get it but no biggie.

After putting in our food order everything came out relatively quickly.... more

Compared to other hopot places, food is very fresh and have a wide range of selection. Customer service is really good and it have all you can drink soy milk and pump juicy. Also, everyone get their own pot instead of sharing the pot with other people.

Price is similar to other hotpot places.

However, the wait is too you. On a friday night, 4 people need to wait around 40 mins. Thus you... more

Great customer service. Typical China town ambience. Average all you can eat prices. Really takes you down memory lane and back to you roots. Hot pot is great for a fun and different way to eat! And even more amazing choice during the winter - the setting and food makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Must tries:
Honey Green Tea (included in the all you can eat drinks)
Coconut ice cream
Red... more
