“ Qiao Lin is a must-try for hot pot! Great selection of meats, vegetables, and other side dishes. My favorite is the dipping sauce and dessert bar. It’s around 2 per person (must purchase/included) but try all the sauces, desserts, and appetizers. Really great selection including edamame, fungus soup, mango sago, oranges, grapes, pork ear, sesame balls, and more. They also recently added an ice jelly dessert bar which had popping boba, brown sugar sauce, dried grapes, and watermelon chunks. The presentation of the dishes was great. They only take walk ins after around 4pm, so join the Yelp waitlist or put your name down in person. Expect to wait for a table during peak times if you don’t have a reservation! Don’t wear any of your nice clothes or plan to be anywhere important afterwards. Your clothes and hair will reek of hotpot spice smell. Overall, I really like the variety of options they have here compared to other hot pot places in the city. ”
“ It was our first time here at Qiao Lin Hotpot and Chris our waiter was truly amazing. He took the time to tell us which one of the soup bases he recommends and which one is his personal favorite. I really enjoyed the variety of meat and food options. The atmosphere was so nice. One of the best hot pot I have tried in Chicago. The flavors of the golden chicken soup was collagen was so flavorful and good. Will be back again to try them other soup bases! Shout out to Chris for making our experience a very good one!! Thank you ”

“ This was my second time having Ethan as our server and my first visit to the Chinatown location. He’s just awesome, super friendly and really adds to the overall experience. The quality ingredients, flavorful broths and cozy, fun vibe make QiaoLin a great spot. Always appreciate his great service! ”
“ The broth tasted amazing. Many choices for toppings and sauces. Service is fast and friendly. Definitely coming back again for family dining experience. ”
“ Amazing hot pot in Chicago! There are multiple hot pot places but I always find myself coming back here. With large portion sizes, many choices, and awesome service it is not a surprise why Qiao Lin is popular and tasty. The meat tastes high-quality and eating slowly and savoring every piece of meat sides sauce really makes you appreciate what you are eating. Also located in a “mall” of sorts, 88 Marketplace is right above for a great way to get some steps in after hot pot to buy groceries, snacks, drinks, and more! ”
