First time trying coconut chicken hotpot and wasn't sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised because chicken is not my go to meat for hotpot. Each table has an iPad to order from and the service was quite quick once you hit order. Our drinks came within seconds of hitting order. Picked double soup base combo where it comes with a tray of veggies (corn, cabbage, assorted mushrooms, lettuce and some kind of gourd), a large bowl of coconut chicken and the soups we picked were coconuts soup and healthy herbal chicken for $85. It was very filling for two people but we did order fatty beef and crispy tofu additionally. We enjoyed both the soup bases. The coconut soup tastes like warm sweet coconut water and the herbal chick n tastes more like traditional soup. There is a self serve sauce station and it costs a few dollars to get sauce. The server was also very nice and she creates a sauce for you that goes really well with the coconut chicken and honestly, don't bother making your own if you're doing the coconut chicken. Go with the sauce they make you because it complements the coconut chicken perfectly. Thank like Thai dipping sauce where it's salty, sweet, lime-y and umami at the same time. It went really well with the coconut chicken. Since chicken are bone in and thick cuts compared to traditional hotpot thin slices, the servers come by and tell you how much time to let the chicken cook for which was quite helpful.

Overall 4.5/5 Food 4.5/5 Service 3.5/5 Value 4.5/5 Ambience 4.5/5 Coco coco hotpot - def come here during off hours if you don't want to wait in long lines or make sure to reserve ahead of time. Tried coming at night for dinner once but wait was like 2 hours and the notification they send you via text is all in Chinese so if you can't read it you will have to google translate it. Attempted a second time with reservation but also for lunch time and there were many seats available. What I like about this place is that they made a unique twist to hotpot with coconut water which is pretty cool but is it good that's a diff story Coconut water & chicken hotpot 3.5/5: serving size is for 4 people, the coconut water with the chicken is very interesting but makes the soup base very sweet if you're into that. When they also say the chicken is ready in 7 mins, reco taking the chicken out from over cooking which is what we did and the chicken got too rough later but if you take it out in time it would be just the right amt of time for tenderness Enjoyed all the clay pots! Salted fish clay pot 4.5/5: this was our fave and most flavorful Chicken mushroom clay pot 4/5 Black bean spare rib clay pot 4/5 Snow peas 4.5/5: you can't go wrong with snow peas and perf way to balance our meal! We also enjoyed all the other chicken dishes too! Hainanese chicken 4.5/5: it was meaty, tender, juicy, highly reco getting this! Garlic spicy chicken 4.5/5 If I were to come back I'd even skip the hotpot and only order the regular dishes which is what stood out to me. On the side note, did not appreciate that the tea that's provided here tastes like water which mean tea was over brewed without switching tea leaves

I've never had coconut water based hotpot. I'm still indifferent but I did enjoy it. Using coconut water as the broth base is genius. Once the coconut water boils, they put the chicken in and the waiter comes back to check on the chicken for you. And you're left with a juicy, coconutty chicken. You have the usual hotpot fixins to throw in as well. I also love the fact that you order everything from the tablet so language barrier/intimidation isn't an issue. It's a little on the pricey side for just 2 people so a group of 4+ is best.

The wait for this place is ridiculously long. The food is okay, cause the hotpot is made with coconut it's on the sweeter side. The service is just okay. They were def really busy. The sauce area is so squish so hard to have multiple people there

The space was bright and clean. There's a mixture of booths and round table. The hot pots are meant for groups here. If you choose their signature Coconut Chicken brother, it comes with base chicken and vegetables. Through an iPad you can order more things to put into the broth. Aside from the chicken being put into the broth for you, everything else you put into the broth(s) yourself. There is a sauce station but that's an additional Service was mostly quick. They come around to refill the broth. However, didn't come to refill the tea unless you asked. The coconut chicken broth is on the sweet side and goes well with the meats. I still prefer savory broths though. Overall, having the coconut chicken broth is a unique experience.

I stopped by Coco Hot Pot on a rainy Sunday afternoon around 2 PM, and it hit the spot perfectly. The restaurant was super spacious and clean, and we were greeted and seated right away, which was nice. They have this iPad ordering system where you can send your order straight to the kitchen. After we ordered, we got our tea and a free appetizer of Chinese seaweed salad, which was a really nice touch. The salad was super refreshing, with a hint of soy and just a little spice at the bottom. For the main meal, we got the Coconut Chicken Hot Pot for Two. It came with a coconut broth, fresh chicken, and a veggie platter with corn, lettuce, cabbage, mushrooms, and winter melon. I wasn't sure if it'd be enough, so I added a side of fish fillet just in case. The waiter brought out the ingredients along with three fresh coconuts. They poured the coconut juice into the pot to boil, then added the chicken. While that was cooking, I made my own dipping sauce at their sauce station (I followed their recommendation of soy sauce, garlic chili oil, and lime) which turned out amazing. The lime really brought it all together. When the chicken was ready, the staff suggested sipping the broth first--and wow, it was so hearty and had this subtle sweetness from the coconut. It felt so much lighter and healthier than other hot pot broths I've had. The chicken was tender and had a nice hint of coconut, which I didn't expect to love as much as I did. Dipped in that sauce? Perfection--sweet, tangy, and just a bit spicy. I threw the veggies into the pot early to cook the corn and melon a bit longer, and they paired so well with the broth. The fish fillet was soft and melted in my mouth, though honestly, I was already so full from the chicken I didn't really need it. Still, it was tasty! The seaweed salad appetizer was also a nice palate cleanser between bites of the hot pot, with its light and refreshing flavors. Overall, Coco Hot Pot was such a comforting experience, especially on a rainy day. I can only imagine how packed this place will get during the winter! I'll definitely be coming back for more.
