Honestly, one of my favourite hot pot in Montreal!
The staff is super nice & very helpful when needing some recommendations. Do not hesitate to ask them their favourite!
They have good formula for AYCE.

I was celebrating my Birthday & decided to go to Liuyishou for a very small celebration. None of my company including me have ever been to a hotpot so this is our first time.
*No. of pax: 3
*Date of visit: January 13, 2026 (Tues)
*Service: dinner; AYCE
*Price: $33.95 + $20.95 for soup (we chose 2 flavour broth for $18.95 + $2 since we chose the coconut au poulet).
*Time we came: around 6:00 in the evening.
When we came in, there was only 1 table occupied so no long wait. Since it was our first time visiting the restaurant & doing hotpot, we relied on our server to help us with choosing the broth & while I did read reviews prior to coming which mostly were good but taste is subjective so we indeed need help from the server.
The server (sorry, I did not get the name) was helpful & recommended Japanese Sukiyaki Broth & the new one which is the Coconut Soup with Chicken but with an additional $2 on top of the $18.95.
We went with it but unfortunately, we did not like the coconut soup at all. It just taste weird in our (3 of us) opinion - & my husband eats almost everything but even him, he did not like it & did not want to eat it. I don't know how to describe it except that it just tasted weird; like sugar water & barely there coconut taste (if that makes sense). The Japanese Sukiyaki was good but the (replacement) Beef Bone Soup is okay.
We asked if we could have it replaced since there is no way we could eat it & it was such a waste of money. The server informed us that it can be replaced. Supposedly there is charge for replacement but since we were newcomers to the restaurant she waived the charge. Good thing she did because I paid an additional $2 for the coconut soup only for it to go to waste.
There is a handful selection for meat, seafood & cooked food while a lot for veggies, noodles, chef's recommendations & soybean products. Dessert is included: ice cream, one with tapioca & fruits etc.
What we ate mostly is the premium sliced beef (you can choose between lean & fatty) & some seafood so we could get the most of what we paid.
There is also a bar to make your own dipping sauce - it is clean & well organized. You can find the fruits here, a salad & the tapioca dessert.
There is small buffet for hot foods beside the sauce bar but honestly it looked sad. The chicken wings seemed overcooked & very dry - did not try it because of that. There was sesame balls which was hard to bite - maybe they cooked it few hours ago, there was a pork dish; tried it & it tastes sweet, spring roll & fries.
Drinks are not included.
Overall for the food I'd give it 3 stars. I apologize but we felt like, we would've been satisfied if we ate elsewhere.
Service: It is ~good. For I think the first hour we were there, there was only one server so we had to wait a while to place an order since you can only order via the server. It was fine.
Female washroom: it was clean which made me happy. Male washroom I don't know. The men I was with did not go.
Pricing: I am okay with the price since most AYCE is at almost or the same price range. However I was surprised that the minimum percentage you can tip is 18%. While I understand that tipping is necessary - & of course I am okay with tipping but I don't want to be sort of obligated to tip 18% when the minimum'required' or baseline tip is 15%. I did not say anything since it was my Birthday so I went along with it. I've been to different AYCE all over Montreal area & so I know 15% is acceptable especially for a very small group.
Would I recommend it: If you like hotpot then give it a try. Personally & as well as for the people I was with, it wasn't for us so I don't see us coming back. We may try other hotpots though in the future. Like I said, taste is subjective but for the 3 of us it just wasn't it.
I rated 4 stars overall despite of the experience because maybe it was us; maybe we're the problem lol. I do not want to give a bad rating just because we wished that we went elsewhere for my Birthday. Try & maybe you'll like/love it.

It was a great hot pot place! The broth was excellent & the service was awesome. Our server Vixi was very attentive & helpful! The price is well worth what we got, the meat & veggies are fresh & of good quality. Their watermelon juice is to die for on a hot summer day.

I had a great time at Liu Yi Shou Hotpot. The food was fresh, the soup base was super tasty, & there were lots of options to choose from. I especially liked the spicy broth - not too overwhelming but really flavorful. The staff were friendly & helpful, & the vibe was cozy & fun. Definitely a good spot to hang out with friends & enjoy a nice hotpot meal.
