Soup Zen Hot Pot est très apprécié pour son concept de création personnalisée, offrant une vaste sélection d'ingrédients frais, des bouillons savoureux et un bar à sauces pratique. De nombreux clients soulignent les options halal inclusives, l'ambiance chaleureuse et propre, ainsi que la populaire crème glacée ube offerte en fin de repas comme étant des points forts de leur expérience. Bien que de nombreux avis louent le service amical et attentionné, notamment de la part de certains employés, d'autres signalent des incohérences dans la rapidité du service, de longs temps d'attente et des problèmes d'organisation occasionnels aux heures de pointe. Les opinions sur les prix sont mitigées, certains les trouvant raisonnables pour les portions généreuses alors que d'autres estiment que la facture peut grimper rapidement selon le poids des ingrédients choisis. Malgré quelques préoccupations concernant l'étroitesse des lieux, l'hygiène et des erreurs occasionnelles dans les commandes, le sentiment général demeure positif pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire amusante et personnalisée dans un cadre animé.
I love this concept. I do wish there were more vegetable options & that the vegetables were cut smaller (whole baby carrots should be halved, for example). I tried the tomato broth this time & it was incredible. There are vegetarian & vegan options, but if cross-contamination concerns you, then your out of luck, since people choose all their ingredients with one set of tongs.
Definitely remember to join the waitlist, as it's often full!
Today was the last drop, food poisoning.. both me & my wife had symptoms a few hours after we finished eating.
I visited many times & the quality of the food kept declining, the meat is dry & chewy & the drinks are not good. We gave this place many chances because the staff is lovely, however food poisoning for 2 people is the limit, never going there again.
So disappointed by the value & service. Despite a large staff presence, service was inconsistent & slow-some of orders didn't arrive until more than 45 minutes after ordering, while some of my friend's dishes were served promptly. The soup tasted overly artificial, lacking the rich, nutty flavor I'd hoped for.

Updated Review:
I can see that there have been improvements in the kitchen workflow compared to my previous visit. The service feels more organized, & the overall experience has improved.
That said, there is still some waiting time during peak hours, so it may take a bit longer to receive your food when it's busy.
On a positive note, the menu now offers a wider selection, & the flavors have improved as well, making the dining experience more enjoyable than before.
Super good & cozy. But it would be nice to have a reservation system. Had to wait 1-2 hours in line to get a seat even though I told the day before I would come with 5 other people:/. Food is really good but can become expensive!!
My bowl ended up being more expensive than I thought but it was really good & the experience is definitely worth it. I was also pleasantly surprised by the taste, the signature broth was amazing, definitely recommend getting that one. The sauce station was really fun aswell. I would definitely go back with more self control
We had a food poisoning
We were a group of 8 for our friend's birthday. First we called in advance & even tho they knew we where a party, they told us we couldn't reserve ( some business don't accept reservations & it's all right that ain't the issue. )
We arrived about an 40 minutes before the hour we fixed (5:40 pm so we were there at 5 ). The waitress ( extremely kind btw ) told us we needed to be on a waiting list. The waiting list told us we could only eat at 6:36pm. The waitress ( really kind ) told us we could have a table at 6pm because she knew we were a huge group & she'll talk to the other waitress to not assign anyone at the table next to the first table of 4 when the clients will be over. Well someone actually put clients at the table that was supposed to be ours ( We understand that it aint the fault if the restaurant is full ) & they still asked us to make our bowls even tho our table wasn't ready.
We paid for our food, & well usually you are supposed to wait at your table but we couldn't sit down because there were 2 clients over with their foods, the foods was packed, coats on & they were on their cellphone for a good 15 minutes. During this time we had to wait near the sauce bar, kitchen & bathroom blocking all those entries because we were a group of 8 so we were blocking staff & other clients because of that. After the waitress ( the one that made the mistake) talked to the 2 clients that they needed to leave because even tho we putted all our things at the table right next to them they didn't know there were clients waiting for them to leave. ( here again the clients behaviour is not the restaurant problem. )
We sat down & we waited an other 15 minutes for 3 bowls to arrive. We still waited 30 minutes for other bowls to come & still not every one had their bowl. I was one of the last & one of us received their bowl when everyone was almost over that's not normal. We understand the restaurant was full but usually when you have a group you try to bring all the food in a short laps of time because especially if we already wait 30 minutes before getting the first 3 bowls. My friend took the miso broth one she said it was awful, I took the #1 with medium spice broth ( if you usually get the medium spice in a restaurant take the soft one has a spice lover I can tell you this was not medium but I like it any way ).
For the food it was awful. Everything that has see food was horrible, the fried stuff was all squishy I wanted to puke instantly. The only thing that was good was the meat, the bokchoy & the broth. At least it was served hot.
Two of us had a food poisoning we didn't ask the others.
