Red Cape Hot Pot in Urbana

Bad service. Never brings out everything we ordered.

My fav place for hot pot. The best hot pot I have ever had. I now no need to miss hot pot back home. Thank u Red Cape!

Best hot pot in town. Not the best I’ve ever had, but it absolutely satisfies the craving, which comes often during the winter! You can help yourself to unlimited drinks.

Amazingly attentive serviceAll-you-can-eat Hot PotFull sauce barCold drinks included in priceThis place deserves your time.

Not suitable for those who want to eat full, or those who just want to take time enjoying a meal with their friends. (Time limit is too short)Also not suitable for those who want to eat good hot pot. (Their meat is too salty and "specially" flavored)Beside the above reasons, it is also too expensive, so you will feel it is not worth the penny.Therere better choices! (Dont eat hot pot in UIUC?)

Get the garlic beef!

Good

I really love the food hear it’s very tasty and the staff is always very helpful. My only complaint it that the sauce stand is not labeled, and I don’t know what everything is, other than that the food is incredible!

Original Chinese hot pot with diversified choices!

This is my go-to hot pot restaurant in CU. Good selection of food and broths. Sauce bar and all you can drink (NAare nice touches. Definitely not cheap, but its all you can eat and pretty authentic.

服務人員 服務態度很好東西算新鮮👍🏻

I was super excited to try this place. I went in during non-busy hours but the service was honestly pretty bad. They have an 90- minute unlimited hot pot so I went as a part of party of 4. The initial order speed was good, however they failed to bring out 2 dishes we asked for. For the 2nd order, they brought everything out 15 minutes late as our 90-minute was coming to an end. Along with that, they once again failed to bring 2 other dishes we asked for. In terms of food quality, it was a 3 out of 5. I went to check out the kitchen and prep area, and things were uncovered for a long time, so not very sanitary. I would definitely not recomment this place. The only reason I would recommend it would be to confirm my comments.

The seating arrangement was a bit cramped for six people. The hot pot buffet was good. Tons of variety of meats amd vegetable. However the seevice was okay. The waiter was showing some attitude and sometimes would not give our complete order for the round.

Some of their items are good, but others are just okay. I like their fried pork and crispy bun. I would recommend getting the sliced lamb beef and pork for the hot pot. Those are the best items. The garlic beef isnt very good. For vegetables, the oyster mushrooms are good. If you get spicy broth, be careful not to eat the mala pepper beads. Itll numb your mouth.

Good place

I dined at around four in the afternoon. The restaurant was sparsely populated, clean and neat in appearance. The greeter met with me promptly, showed me to my choice of table, and explained the menu items, the drink options and sauce bar. I ordered off the menu and got a drink from the self service cooler. Sauce bar had a number of sauces, peanut sauce, chili paste, BBQ, were some of the options. The food arrived at the table in typical hot pot fashion on different serving dishes. All the food was fresh and presented in a pleasant manner. The broth was excellent, I ordered the medium spicy house broth. Overall it was an excellent experience. I will return in the future.

Dull food and high price

What a banquet! They serve all kinds of fresh vegetables, meat, seafood, meat balls, tofus, mainfood and @#$%$&*... in fancy containers and everyone can boil them in his own cute pot. Best restaurant to gather with your friends, even the Veggie guys will love this place (they can order a vegan soup base). BTW, its all you can EAT & DRINK, it definately worth the money (check the prices of Hand Sliced Beef&Lamb in Fresh International Market, youll see).

VERY GOOD

Whats not to love? Unlimited fresh yummy food! One of my favorite restaurants in town.

Very good hotpot soup base and food options

This place will be my favourite!

Had a good selection of food and meats. They were good at keeping the food coming and pots full!

服务差到不行

very nice

Delicious Chinese hot pot. Friendly staff and lots of variety. Meat were good quality and melted in your mouth. Good sauce selection and drinks.

When it comes to hot pot it’s all about the broth, this place does have a particularly well made broth as well as multiple variations of the broth for you to try. The sides of meat and vegetables were fresh so that is good news. This place models itself after the hot pot place in Chicago, Little Sheep. This means you have 1.5 hours to eat all the food you want and any excessive leftovers will be charged onto the bill. If your craving hot pot this is a good place to try, just expect to pay $58 dollars for two adults. Be warned, the Max Spicy hot pot broth is very spicy, and may not be enjoyable for your first time here.

Great food at a reasonable price, this place is amazing, I will eat there again

Still waiting.....

Excellent quality hotpot. Well priced for all you can eat and drink. Great sauce selections as well as hot pot items. I have been here twice already and I cant wait to come back again!

Bad attitude and rude. Unreasonable price.

Worst dinning experience ever. I had a meal with three friends, but I got a bill of 5 people (this is a buffet restaurant), plus automatic 15% tips without any explanation. $168 in total! The supervisor rudely ripped our menu off, when I questioned the total price. Never try this restaurant again.

Very authentic hot pot. The restaurant offers a large selection of food and drinks for a reasonable price.

Aside from the hot pot being not tasty nor authentic, service attitude their was extremely terrible. They have this rule of time limit and food remains that’s essentially never told until we begin got the bill.Seriously, if you do care about service quality, don’t even think about this place. My most candid advice.

Bad attitude. Super small amount of food. The choice of drinks were only two kinds. Very poor food experience. Wouldn’t suggest anyone to go there.

I saw many different kinds of drinks in the fridge near the kitchen; however, there was only one kind provided in the dining area. While the waiters and waitress were nice, the supervisor was impolite and mean.

Waited for almost one hour

most authentic Szechuan hot pot in champaign area.

We were told to wait 20-30 min but waited for over 45 min. We weren’t treated nicely because people who were in line much later than us got tables before us.
