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.

Great food + excellent service
Came to Liuyishou Fondue Hotpot in Montreal & had a really good experience. The hotpot was delicious, & the service honestly made it even better. Our server Bohao was super nice, attentive, & professional the whole time. He checked in at the right moments, explained things clearly, & made sure everything was smooth & enjoyable.
Definitely recommend, I'll be coming back!

I come here quite often since I go to school in the area. The food here is always reliably good & I enjoy it. If you like hotpot, I definitely would recommend Liuyishou as they have a large amount of options to choose from in their all you can eat menu.
The service is a little slow, especially if you go alone, like I do.

Je viens de la ville de Québec & nous n'avons pas ce concept dans notre ville. WoW j'ai adoré c'est super bon. & je tiens à souligner l'excellent service de notre serveur Chris qui m'a super bien expliqué comment ça fonctionne, m'a recommandé les meilleurs bouillons & plats. J'ai adoré ce qu'il m'a proposé, j'ai adoré mon expérience, merci encore !

Loved the service from our waiter Bohao! He made sure that everyone was well taken care of- my little one was watching her show & he came & gave her a phone stand, my friend forgot to bring a hair tie & he gave her one (even gave her options which one she wanted) & he also provided us with aprons so our clothes won't get dirty!
We made a reservation for a group of 18, & we were warned that the buffet has a time limit of two hours but if there's no reservation on our tables after, they won't rush us to leave!
We celebrated our friend's birthdays & they gave them a tote bag & a fan as a gift!
Food was good, we took their lunch menu buffet which was I think 27$ on top of the broth (which is around 9-18$ each). There wasn't that much option but we still enjoyed it! The snack bar & the sauce bar was available as well- you can get as much fries, spring rolls, chicken wings, Chinese sausage & desserts as you want!!
We usually do hot pot at home but our experience today was good that we collectively said we'll come back! Highly recommend!

We just arrived in Montreal after a 6 hour drive from Toronto with the family & decided to pop in here for dinner since we were starving. This was our first time at the Liuyishou chain & the experience was AMAZING!!!
The host at the desk was extremely personable & patiently explained how the menu & pricing worked. Shout out to our server, Vixi, in particular, who was phenomenal!! She was super friendly & constantly checked up on us to see if we needed anything else. She really made our experience tonight exceptional!
This place is an absolute steal for the quality of the food & the pricing, especially now with how high prices are. Highly highly recommend!

Highly recommend this place! Food was so good, meat was amazing & the veggies were so fresh. Viki was our server & we loved her. She was super friendly & always more then happy to answer our many questions & provide recommendations. One of the members in my party is a pescatarian, & Viki made sure to go over all the broth options available for them along with having a separate set of utensils that were marked to make sure everyone could enjoy the food. Great night, great food, great service.

The food was amazing & the service of Vixi is awesome. She is very sweet & caring, always brings our order in very short periods of time. I recommend the lamb, is the best meat they had. We finished all the food & definitely come back.

We came to Montreal with our teen kids & went here on a whim. It was amazing. Our server was fantastic. She walked us through everything & gave us great recommendations. She was so kind & accommodating. We had such a blast & spent the whole 2 hour limit chatting & eating. The food was amazing. My son ate so much of the baby octopus legs! Highly recommend!

Service was somewhat okay food comes fast, I mentioned I wanted beef this & that, didn't want any lamb they still served lamb. The food under the lamp near the cashier was not hot. It was more expensive compared to other hotpot. Price to food quality was not worth it. I don't think I can recommend this place. No wait time even on the weekend's which shows there is a problem on this place.
