Four Seasons Hot Pot And Dumpling

My boyfriend and I drove down from Salt Lake to try this place and it was worth the time! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, especially if you have never tried hot pot before. The food was appropriately priced and very filling! I enjoyed a lot of the available ingredients, though the seafood options weren’t very fresh. I would definitely eat here again despite that little drawback, however.

We have been coming to the restaurant for a few years now. The experience has always been great and the food is awesome. The owners are always friendly and love talking to our kids. The restaurant is always tidy and clean too.

If you aren’t sure about eating here, you’re thinking too much. I loved this place. We got half spicy and half miso (they divided the broth) which were both amazing. The owners are so sweet and silly. Very kind and helpful people, as soon as we were seated, they told us how everything worked. Definitely worth $ 16 if you ask me. The meatballs and sliced beef were for sure the stars of the night after the soft boiled egg. Try it! You won’t be sad.

I’ve been here twice over the years and was pleased both times. The first was my initiation in Hot Pot. As others have said, it really is a dining _​experience_​, so, if you’re looking for something to do on a date (since I know that’s a thing in Provo: P) this is definitely a viable option (unless your picky).
The price is all inclusive of drink, dinner and dessert, so it’s a clean $ 15 bill/​person. I won’t go into details on the logistics of hot pot, as those have already been explained, and the owners do well in showing you the ropes if it’s your first time.
My only complaint is that the water from the drink dispenser tastes pretty awful. I don’t know how to describe bad water flavors, so just know it’s not Brita filtered.
This is definitely some place I’d return. This second visit I brought two of my aunts and they were both very pleased with the flavors and experience. They also want to bring their families by soon.

Great little find! It was the perfect place for lunch on a blustery winter day.
The owner was happy and helpful, and more than willing to show you the ropes of hot pot if it’s your first time.
He kept the buffet clean and stocked with all sorts of delicious ingredients (shitake mushrooms, thin sliced meats, various veggies, three kinds of noodles, meat & fish balls, shrimp and even Spam (which, incidentally, tasted great in our miso hot pot).
We got our fill and didn’t feel the usual heaviness you get after leaving an all you can eat buffet.
The only thing complaint (and it’s nit-​picky) is that I didn’t see the prices for the hot pot posted, and I was a little surprised when I cashed out and it was $ 15 per lunch buffet). Not a deal-​killer… I’ll definitely be back.

This is the first Hot Pot buffet I’ve been to and I was pleasantly surprised. Four Seasons isn’t large, but the selection was good enough for the meal to be satisfying and varied. The owner was really kind and welcoming. He gave us a tour of the buffet bar and showed us how to adjust the temperature of the hot plate upon seating us. For about $ 15 a person, it was a great deal.

That was amazing, they serve fast, and the taste is the one we do really love, a lot of type of food, I do really love those delicious balls with the hot pot, and they have one ball with the fish egg, that is the first time I try it, but I love it.

I go to eat tonight, they charge me $ 34. For 2person! Their online menu says 15.95/per person, so I think the auto add 18%tips already. The food is fine! Not busy tonight!

Hot Pot is as good as you make it! The owner is friendly and willing to assist people who might need help or suggestions. For my student budget, I probably won’t be back because the meal for one person costs pretty close to $ 20 with tip.

Super cool food experience. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. We had no idea what we are doing but the lady is very funny and kind. I think everyone should try it out.

this is more an experience than anything else. you walk into the restaurant– in which the ambiance is minimalistic and mostly red.
you’re immediately greeted by a smiling chinese main wearing a hair net.
how could you not start smiling immediately.
long story short–
broth– raw ingredients.
you cook everything yourself similar to a broth fondue but better because fondue places generally suck.
they give you yummy sauces and choices of broth.
this place was an awesome find and its all thanks to Unilocal.we had an amazing dinner and left as little soup filled fatties. would definitely go back.
and for 15 per person it was a great deal.

Eh, it was OK. I went into this expecting a lot, and was sadly disappointed. We chose the hot and spicy broth, which was great. But the ingredients at the buffet table just didn’t look fresh or appetizing. The chicken looked like it was all congealed in some blob inside its tub.
But we figured that once we cooked everything, it would all turn out. And once we did, for the most part, everything was fine, except for the noodles. The noodles tasted like fish oil. Very heavy fish oil. And because of that, it made everything taste like that. I don’t know what it was; we didn’t have fish.
None of the shellfish was very appetizing either, which should be expected when eating shellfish this far inland. But I highly recommend the beef, that tastes amazing cooked in spicy broth.
Overall, the staff was amazing and it was a fun experience to try. Just be careful with the noodles and avoid the seafood.

I don’t really know what happened, i see that most others rate this place highly, and I’ve heard from friends how great it was too. But it was probably one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. Just to highlight: not enough plates or cups (my wife and i shared a glass all night and the staff were backed up washing dishes), food buffet station was half empty and we kept having to ask them to refill it, food was not actually very good. I wanted to walk out so many times.
So maybe I had a fluke night? The staff were really friendly and I’d give them 4 stars. Maybe they were under staffed that night, but for whatever reason, dinner service that evening was a disaster.
Advice: i don’t know… try it out maybe since there are so many high reviews? Hope that it doesn’t turn out like my experience? Your call!

What a suprisingly fantastic dinner. This little hole-​in-​the-​wall shines with super-​fresh ingredients, attentive service, and flavorful foods. I went with a friend not knowing what to expect, and was greeted by a friendly Asian gentlemen who explained the process. A bubbly pot of chicken broth filled the air with savory aromas. We choose from a variety of fresh, raw meats and veggies. The raw stuff was added to the pot, and after 10minutes an amazing soup emerged.
The friendly servers will also add a divider to the bubbly hot pot of broth, so you can create two different soups.
What a great night out!

I’ve been putting off this review for months because every time we go in we’re told that the person who makes the dumplings isn’t in that day — we’ve tried 5 different times now and every time we’ve left sad and dumplingless.
Having said that, I still really like this place. The Hot Pot is great fun and you get tons of food. The man that runs the place walked us through it our first time and was very sweet to us, which was very much appreciated since we had no idea what we were doing. We had a great time trying the various things and watching them cook so I’ve gone back since and have never been disappointed with that, the only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is because it’s been so difficult to actually have dumplings and since that’s in the name of the place I feel like I should be able to order them more often than not.
I’m going to keep going back and if I ever do get to have the possibly mythical dumplings I’ll update this review.

Four Seasons is a locally owned all-​you-​can-​eat Chinese hot pot restaurant located in Provo. Traditional Chinese hot pot involves a large hot pot with either regular or spicy broth (get the spicy and even if you don’t like it too spicy, ask them not to make it too spicy).
Once they bring out the broth, the work is pretty much on you to get drinks /​food near the «bar». The traditional order is to put meat first, and then the veggies. My favorites were spam, beef, and some fish filet. The beef will cook in 15 seconds, and I’d let the fish filet and spam soak in flavor for about a minute.
For veggies, my favorites were potatoes, tofu, and cabbage. These take longer to cook (you want them really soft and flavorful) so definitely leave them in for a few minutes at least. They will also give you a small cup of sesame sauce and chili oil. On your plate definitely mix these two and put your cooked food on it to enhance flavor.
Finally, after the meal go ahead to the freezer and pick out dessert from ice cream sandwiches to creamsicles.
For cold winters, there just aren’t many things better than hot pot. I don’t come here nearly as often anymore because there is a new hot pot restaurant in Salt Lake City that’s much closer, but I make it a point to come here anytime I’m in Provo and really hungry.

This was such a great little birthday treat. I did not expect such an experience, but this sure did deliver. My wife and I have never been to a hot pot restaurant, so at first it was a little scary. After a few minutes with the staff explaining everything and showing us how to cook our food, we were hooked.
We had the hot and spicy base and pretty much tried everything on the bar. I would recommend the fish and the beef, both were amazing. The ice cream is needed if you like your food hot! I will be going back to this little hidden gem.

We’re glad we came back to Four Seasons Hot Pot. We were in Provo at BYU and decided to have an early dinner there. It’s a hot pot, so it’s very timely during this time of year. We had the miso soup as our base soup and added in their plenty of choices of vegetables, fish, shrimps, dim sums. We picked only seafoods but you can get their chicken or beef slices as well. The base already tasted great and the additions of the main ingredients only made it even greater!
I missed the owner’s familiar whistles while he preps up the ingredients in the kitchen. It’s great to hear it again. He’s really happy with what he was doing and happy to serve his delighted customers! You can never be wrong with Four Seasons Hot Pot!

Tip 1: Get your pot of broth split (regular and spicy)
Tip 2: Don’t expect world class service. You serve your own drinks, dish your own add ins, and cook your own food.
Tip 3: Slurp your noodles slowly (or don’t slurp at all) because a drop of spicy broth in your eye will send you to the restroom to rinse it out before you go blind.

This place tastes amazing! I hate that it’s so far but it’s worth it. Ridiculous amount of items for you to choose from. Some freshness on items can’t be helped, but the big picture is the fact that they even have it. By the way, this joint shouldn’t be a place to have your auctioned marriage date at.
I’m really bummed that their soup filled dumplings aren’t available on demand. You have to at least call a day ahead for those.
