Xiangzi, Markham, on

First time trying this restaurant and it was great. I was there pretty late on a weekday for their all-you-can-eat lunch. But frankly for two people an hour is plenty. The decor looks like it is from an old Chinese restaurant or inn. The server was very friendly and helpful and made sure she warned us of the time limit. Picked 3 soup bases and they were all great, spicy, mushroom and tomato broth, $29.99. The spicy one was so flavourful that no dipping sauce was required. The quality of their food is very good. While the selection wasn’t huge, there was some interesting stuff, maybe because we only ordered the basic all-you-can-eat lunch, $29.99/person. Plenty of parking spaces. They take debit cards or cash!

Great hot pot experience. Food is great. The spicy broth is fire!! You can choose from 1 - 5 spice level. I would recommend ordering a non spicy broth to go along with it. The service was fast and efficient.Food: 5/5

It is an all you can eat restaurant and menu options are lunch or dinner difference: more sides and premium items in the dinner menu. Staff were friendly, food arrived fast, and they offered a nice rice tea! Premium items are max 2 person. They had scallops, premium meats, others… it was ok. I preferred the regular meats a lot more choices and the veggies and side dishes were great too! Dipping sauce: so many choices to built your dipping sauce! But you wont need it as much because the soup base is so full of flavours! Soup base: the signature soup was definetely spicy and had the tingling feeling choose this if you like the ‘mala’ seasoning while the mushroom soup base was mild but still flavourful and you can drink it at the end of the hot pot if you like soup!. In terms of price, it is on the higher end. Beside the fix rate depending on the menu option, an additional fee for the soup base is added. Note: they only accept debit or cash

This restaurant is a work of art, and the atmosphere it cultivates is a work of art. From walking into the front doors, you are transported to what is reminiscent of a museum of Ancient China, with cobbled walkways, carved wooden dividers, etc. The staff are all super friendly and polite, and greet you warmly. Entering the restaurant, you are welcomed with bouquets of roses on display. The ordering is done through an ipad, and there are many soup bases and pot styles to choose from. The actual menu is also quite generous. The service was quick and attentive, and it was just good vibes overall, which is very surprising for an all you can eat restaurant! We would definitely come again.

By far the best thing about this place is the wide variety of food options. Many types of meat, seafood, and organ meat are available. The quality is overall pretty good, except the beef was too lean and the marbling was weak. Dessert selections were limited. Service was quick but their tone an attitude can use some improvements. They charge premium prices over $50 per person after tax and tips. For this price, I would say the value is just okay.

This is a well decorated authentic Chinese restaurant for hot pot. It is beautifully furnished and is spacious and comfortable. They offer AYCE hot pot. Menu selection covers both cold dishes, meat vegetables, and some limited order special dishes. Food quality is pretty good, and services are fast. Dishes are served to your table in a couple of minutes after your order is placed. There is a self served sauce buffet table that you can mix different ingredients of your like to make your own special personal dipping sauce. Every dish is nicely presented. Staff would clear away your finished dishes real fast. They deserved for 5-stars for service and atmosphere. I would recommend it.

Very exciting experience. Service was very good, the staff were friendly. Definitely an asset if you speak Mandarin or Cantonese, but staff are patient. Good food for the price point. Comes with two premium selections, but our waitress gave me an extra premium beef tripe for my birthday. Definitely coming back with a larger group. Ordering is done on an ipad. Note the soup base is extra, and they only take debit or cash. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian soup base, vegetable options Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and handicapped bathrooms.

This place is hotpot heaven! Loved everything about this place. From seating and decor to food and service, Xiang Zi hotpot exceeded expectations. This establishment was clean, and aprons were provided to prevent splatters from soup bases on our clothes. They had a wide selection of food for hotpot and unlimited Melonas for us to indulge. The restaurant was well ventilated, so it didn't feel muggy and sticky from the hotpots. There are private rooms on the 2nd floor should your party choose to have a more intimate setting. Easily one of my favorite hotpot joint of mine in town.

Loved the experience, definitely recommended! Authentic Chinese hotpot, AYCE. Lots of veg and non-veg options to choose from. All fresh, good quality. Delicious self served sauce buffet table. Very spacious, well decorated. Attentive staff, fast service. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available Parking: Free parking lots

One of the best hotpot in town. I love the spicy soup here. They have more food options compare to other AYCE hotpot. Services was really good as the time I went there The price is average ~50-60/person so I believe it’s normal. Definitely come back!!! Also, the decor is unique and beautiful
