“ If you love beef and spicy food you will love this place>ω< Fresh vegetables. Good service. Free drinks. Absolutely will come back again. ”
“ There's a few hot pot restaurants in this area between Coit and highway 75 that I frequent, but if I had to choose just one, Squares would be my choice. It's cozy on the inside, and servers usually give you more attention than other places. I've never had to wait for a table before (though I have seen a line after being seated). We've had the a-la-carte and all-you-can-eat options and both are decently priced. Although I like my broth spicy, others in the family can't handle the heat. Fortunately, there's a divider so you can order both at the same table. All the protein dishes are delicious while the vegetable portions are very generous. And, of course, no hot pot is complete without the sauce bar. They have the usual chilli oil, garlic, cilantro, peanuts, green onions, etc. as well as French fries, sesame balls, shrimp chips, and dessert. ”
“ Squares Hot Pot was an absolutely exquisite experience! TL:DR Snapshot 3 different pricing tiers for all-you-can-eat ($40, $50, $70) that correspond to what kind of Wagyu you get. The rest of the ingredients, veggies, seafood, and more are buffet style. I suggest if you're new to hot pot, have the waiter help you out ordering and make a sauce for you. I also believe that the best way to experience this restaurant is getting the most expensive option and going here on a date night or special occasion. Full Review: Upon walking in the door, there was absolutely no wait and we were seated immediately. Our server was extremely polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful in explaining to us how the hot pot restaurant functioned. He gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, helped us order when we were ready, and even helped us with our buffet ingredients! The 3 different pricing tiers correspond each category of Wagyu: - USA ($40) - Australian ($50) - Japanese ($70) It's all-you-can-eat, but the process is partially ordering the entree items (super easy and on an iPad), and buffet style for drinks, veggies, sauces, and sides. After ordering, the waiter brings the hot pot soup base before serving the ordered entrees. Everything else is for you to go to the buffet and grab as needed. Our server was very attentive and accommodating, accompanying us to the sauce bar after bringing out the food so he could make for us some pro sauces. Upon getting seated with everything you could need or want, the experience truly begins. Make sure to give all the food appropriate time to cook if you are new, and remember to eat slow so you can keep trying everything you're sampling. Conclusion: The food was absolutely excellent at this restaurant and everything was most delicious. The atmosphere was spectacular but what really made this a first-class experience was the service. Without the waiter that we had who was so present and hospitable, the experience just wouldn't have been the same. I would highly suggest Squares Hot Pot to anyone seeking a special and delicious restaurant meal, regardless of any previous experience in the hot pot specialty. ”
“ Square Hot Pot - A Fantastic Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Square Hot Pot in Plano, and it was a truly great experience from start to finish! The ambiance of the restaurant is really inviting, with a classic hot pot feel. The lanterns and brick walls create a warm and cozy atmosphere that's perfect for a meal with friends or family. But of course, the food is the star! The selection of meats was impressive, with beautifully presented plates of thinly sliced beef, including what looked like delicious short ribs and sukiyaki-style cuts. The quality was evident, and everything was incredibly fresh. They also offer a good variety of other hot pot essentials, including fresh greens like lettuce and an assortment of other items such as seafood (mussels and squid), tofu, and various hot pot balls. And for those who enjoy other dishes, the Gyūdon was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked beef and onions over rice, topped with green onions and sesame seeds. The hot pot itself was excellent, with a flavorful broth. I especially loved the unique touch of the dragon-head tongs, adding a cool element to the dining experience. Overall, Square Hot Pot delivers a fantastic hot pot experience. Great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and attentive service make it a must visit in Plano. Highly recommend! ”
“ Went here during weekday lunch. They have AYCE which costs $19.99 per person( without tax. No beverage) I would say for the price is a good deal. I personally like the lamb. Beef were good, but too much fat for me. I loved the servers. They were so nice and friendly. Btw, I like dumplings. ”
