We wanted to get hotpot for lunch without having to travel into Chinatown and this fit the bill. We were lucky enough to find parking on Mass Ave very close to the restaurant. We got there soon after opening with only one other patron there. We were greeted and seated right away. The service was absolutely wonderful and our server was very attentive and informative. The food also did not disappoint. The hotpot was absolutely delicious as were the other dishes. The atmosphere and decor seemed very basic but it didn’t matter because we were there for the yummy food. By the time we left the restaurant it had filled up quite a bit so I’m glad we got there early. Will definitely be back!

The hot pot was so gooooood! We had mala broth (spicy) and the chicken broth + angus beef combination platter and king oyster mushrooms. Highly recommend.

Service friendly but conversation very awkward…food was ok but every dish so tiny!! (Makes it expensive overall) Dipping sauce for hot pot is just enough for one dip! Not for the whole meal and you need to pay more for more sauce…doesn’t seems normal or correct to me when speaking of “authentic”. (Authentic Chinese food usually give you more than enough and many choices of unlimited sauce) food value not worth the price ☹️that “twice cooked pork” only has few pork, definitely not enough to eat and over charged. Was so excited to try but disappointing in the end.

After waiting 45 minutes to have our order taken, we received the dishes that were all very small portions and drowning in super salty sauces. Maybe rice would’ve helped but they were all out of white rice. The noodle dish had maybe 5 strings of noodles in total. I’ve never been so disappointed at the quality of classic Chinese dishes. I guess the only redeeming quality is that after such a long wait to order we were given a tiny dish of (very salty) peanuts to..add salt to injury?

Ordered mixed spicy mala and herbal soup and it was so good but when asked more soup, they only gave hot water so the soup became bland and tasteless, and it ruined everything. Dishes come in small portion and looks like from frozen supermarket stuff. Conclusion: OVERPRICED!

Love the food at little Qs! They have an amazing Mala broth that makes whatever you put in there taste fantastic! Love going here when anyone visits us or we just want to eat an insane amount of delicious food.

I had such a good time here with my friends! The food was delicious and well prepared. We had the mala broth and Chinese miso broth in a ying yang pot. Every thing was clean and fresh. Clearly good quality ingredients. And the service was good too. Will definitely be back!

Amazing local spot that offers delicious hot pot and Chinese classics. Service is always lovely. Hot pot broths can also be made vegetarian and split in 2 sections. They have a wide variety of food items, highly recommend!

Hot pot was mediocre, can get much better in this city. Meat was frozen and broth was lacking flavor. Pan fried dumplings were blah.
