Welcome to Raosu: A Culinary Gem in Hell's Kitchen

The first thing that stood out was just how beautiful the space was. Definitely had a lot of very instagrammable spaces. The food was also delicious - my husband and I got the spicy oil and coconut chicken broths. The spicy broth was solid - very flavorful. And the coconut chicken had a nice, almost creamy quality, which contrasted the spicy broth well. My husband and I got the $39.99 all you can eat package, and absolutely loved it. While not as extensive as the ~$70 package, we still had a nice selection of meats and vegetables. We also were able to get some appetizers, all of which we loved. We especially enjoyed this mango sago dessert. All in all, we had a good experience and were very impressed by the good value of the AYCE package. Will definitely recommend for anyone who want a nice hotpot experience!

What an amazing buffet. It has the trifecta: hotpot, sushi, and dim sum. The dim sum buffet is kind of hidden on a third menu, which you have to ask for and it's only on the $75 premium option. I highly recommend the more expensive option since the variety is amazing. Bring gloves and scissors for opening up their amazing crab. I don't think I've ever seen a crab leg be so spiky before at a buffet. They even allow up to 4 soup broths on the hotpot. The great thing about this place is that there are some self service items and cooked items you can get yourself while ordering for the hotpot, dim sum , or sushi. The crab and surprisingly, abalone, is on the self serve section. There's a wide selection of options for sauces for the hotpot. Garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili oil, etc. The premium option has sashimi, so we just loaded up on that fatty salmon. I'll probably ban my friend Rocky from ordering Milky beef that actually has milk on raw meat. Who the hell eats that?! The decor is very fancy. Looks like a swanky hotel and has chandeliers and interesting statues. Very clean, and fast service.

Ambiance - 5 Stars Service - 4 Stars. The waiters forgot about our orders sometimes. Food - 4 Stars. The soup base of the hot pot is very good, all the food for hot pot are very fresh, a lot of varieties and in good quality. However, the Japanese food, ex. Sashimi, are not that fresh. Therefore, I would suggest not to include the Japanese food in the buffet, which can reduce the price of $10. Overall, the dining experience here is very pleasant. I would come back sometime in the future.

We came for dinner with a group of 8 on a Tuesday. They were rather quiet, and the service was a bit slow on the sushi items, but the hot pot was great. I love how you're able to select up to 4 soup bases per table. The spicy broth definitely is spicy, even for those who can handle heat. It offers heat with a hint of numbness, which szechuan food is known for. They have a full bar and it was nice to enjoy a drink with this meal. They have a wide selection of items for the hot pot, from meats to seafood to vegetables, and with their sushi menu, you definitely have options for everyone.

Very impressive entrance! The decor was gorgeous! My daughter and I agree this was the best hotpot place we've dined at, and we sure do know and love hotpot! They have an elaborate menu of selections for the AYCE experience. There is also a wide selection of cooked dishes and cold appetizers and sushi rolls. Definitely bookmark this restaurant if you're in the area! You will not be disappointed! Excellent food quality, beautiful restaurant, and very friendly and attentive wait staff. $64.99 per person for AYCE. It's expensive for hotpot, but the quality and experience were worth every penny!

This review is solely for my experience grabbing a drink at the bar! My friend and I decided to try their happy hour deal. We were the only ones in the bar! They don't have their happy hour info on their website, but it is 2 for 1 cocktails and martinis 3-close. We called to get this info and had to talk to 2 different people to find this out. Then when we got there, they seemed very confused when we said we were there for the happy hour? I think they need to do a better job at promoting this and informing their employees, because it would definitely get more people in at the bar area. I had the lychee martini and the cosmo. I liked both, but I LOVED the lychee martini! It was full of lychee flavor and the right level of sweetness. It was sort of strange that they ran out of martini glasses for my second drink, even though the restaurant was pretty empty. My friend got the mango margarita and loved it. Kim was our bartender, and she was so sweet! We really enjoyed talking to her! Overall, I would definitely come back for drinks here! The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is I think they still are getting their footing on the management of this restaurant. I look forward to seeing how they grow!

This all you can eat hot pot and sushi was a fun experience and the quality of the food was good too. You can choose one hot pot soup for yourself and each additionally one is $5.95 more (you can choose up to 4 total for your group). We got many coconut milks since drinks are included. They charge extra for dipping sauce and even if you just use soy sauce, they will charge your extra so might as well use all of the sauces. I ate lots of sashimi since it's fresh and although the appetizers were tempting, I didn't eat too much of it (fried crab, meat, etc.). We got the spicy butter (so spicy!), duck, seafood, and pork bone soups and they were all good. My favorite was the pork bone. The service is pretty great and they have a live singer. The ambiance is very pretty as well and it opened a month ago so everything is still new. I would recommend this place if you're looking to eat a lot to make the $59.99 worth it (or can eat strategically)!

Beautiful brand new hot spot restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, serving all types of meats, veggies and all you can eat sushi, all for the price of $60, plus sauces which adds another $9 per person. Note they recently changed to this pricing model! The restaurant is beautiful, high ceiling, large tables to accommodate accommodating 4 persons. And a menu that is so extensive, with all you can eat options! We opted for some sushi to begin the meal, the ayce option only included the basic pieces and if you wanted to better selection there is a fee. (Which defeats the purpose of ayce). We then got 3 types of soup base, tomato, herbal medicine and mushroom. Thankfully we did not order the spicy ones, because we saw tables next to us having to send back the spicy soup because it was too spicy! The meats and veggies options were all fresh. Overall, which I enjoyed the experience. The service needs much improvement. On multiple occasions, our food either did not arrive or we received food that we did not order. And when we asked for the bill, it took us asking three different servers and waiting over 20 mins. For what it is worth, experience and all I still would return and hopefully the work out the kinks in the service.
