About this spot

Kirin Hot Pot, also known locally as Qi Lin Hot Pot, sits on West 120th Avenue in Broomfield near Flatiron Crossing. The space is clean and spacious, set up to handle both couples wanting an individual pot and larger groups sharing a communal one.

The menu leans on hot pot staples done well: tender fatty beef sliced thin, fresh oysters, Spicy Dry Pot, vegetable spring rolls, and Kung Pao Chicken for those who want something off the pot entirely. An extensive sauce bar lets diners build a dipping sauce to match whichever broth they choose, including herbal and vegetable options for vegetarians.

The individual-pot setup makes it a practical choice even for solo diners or smaller groups who don't want to compromise on broth flavor. Service is attentive and the room stays comfortable even when busy, making it suitable for a quick lunch or a longer dinner with friends.
