About this restaurant

Qiao Lin opened its first flagship store in Chicago, bringing the authentic taste of Chongqing’s spicy hotpot to the city. We take pride in curating a memorable and thrilling experience for spice lovers, especially during Chicago's cold winters. Every bite is a journey into the bold and unforgettable flavors of authentic hotpot. As we continue to expand, we are committed to offering everyone in America the chance to be amazed by the extraordinary heat of our hotpot.

    There should NEVER be an instance where you have a reservation and aren’t seated for an hour after you’ve checked in. Atrocious

    Overall pretty disappointed. From the dirty water glasses, to the huge but underwhelming sauce island, to the 2.5 hour meal because it seemed like they kept forgetting our order, to the fact that they didn’t have white rice cooked yet for weekend dinner and the rice we got was so undercooked we couldn’t eat it. Just go to the other location.

    We went during restaurant week. There was a lot of food and it was tasty and fun. Service was amazing, our waitress Jeni or Jenny was so patient with us and with explaining the concept and what to expect. We will definitely go back.
