“ Gotta leave a review as this place has been an amazing treat-yourself meal for years! For 20.99 lunch on weekdays, you get a lot of amazing food, all the cuts of meat & sauces are really good and they have great Korean small plates like kimchi and seaweed salad. Ordering & service is super fast, there will always be someone near if you want to add something to your order. The music is a bit loud & electronic but fun, and the appliances are modern. You can basically get multiple courses out of the menu, with the small plates I mentioned, then hot pot, you can add ramen or vermicelli to your soup for an extra meal essentially and then dessert (love the sago). Thanks Kpot, hope you maintain the quality & service for years to come. ”
“ The lychee soju mojito was amazing, I ended up getting two. We came for lunch to try it out and will be back for dinner. All the food came out almost immediately after we ordered it. The different sauces were really good and we mixed some to create our own. My favorite thing was probably the lychee we were able to get from the small buffet/sauce table. I probably ate like 15 of them. Our server was very nice and accompanying. He switched our plates out multiple times without us needing to ask. ”
“ Great first time Hotpot experience as a vegetarian. The severs explain you in detail if you are a first timer. Great selection of veggies, tofu, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, etc for vegetarians. Their service is the best part - frequent check-ins to ensure you gave everything you need, quick service within minutes of ordering. As a vegetarian, I often have trouble with a distinguished smell in Asian restaurant and went in expecting the same considering it will have barbecue going on in every table. The ambience and circulation /temperature is very well maintained and I didn’t feel any smell problem. Two vegan soup options to choose from No wait time on a Sunday during lunch time. Highly recommend. ”
“ Great experience we loved the place. Staff is super friendly, always there for helping. Food is delicious and desserts are a great ding dong. Got fully belly and very happy with our ice cream. Coming back for more. ”
“ Been here a couple of times and the food has not disappointed. Servers are great and helpful, there's a hostess or two that I could do without dealing with when I visit. There's a bar for making your own sauces, and extra ingredients. There are so many restaurants that don't live up to their hype, this is not one of them. It can be pricey but you won't leave disappointed! Update: We continue to frequent this restaurant, and had the absolute best server last night. Her name is May. She was extremely sweet and vocal, she listened to what the kids had to say, made suggestions, complemented my son on his hair. She heard me mention I didn't have a hair tie to put it up to eat and offered a rubber band. She was caring and absolutely amazing I love to have someone like this when in any restaurant it elevates the experience. ”
“ I rarely come here since it is a bit pricey but it's worth it every time. The service is ALWAYS on point with very friendly waiters/waitresses. The food is great and comes out as soon as you order it so you're never waiting. You WILL come out smelling like a barbecue. It is pretty loud and a bit humid but that is a given. Heads up for anyone who gets sick from smells or humidity. And the smell sticks on you. Also, if you are planning on coming for the lunch menu, get there before 3. They advertise lunch until 4pm but multiple times they have started dinner early. Otherwise a great place. ”
“ Nice place for lunch with friends, great tasting broth that you add your favorite fresh ingredients to! A great way to try new things and enjoy your meal.. service was awesome! Answered questions and we didn't wait for refills. We will be back, for sure ”
“ Actually, it was my girlfriend who introduced me to Korean food since she likes them, but I tell you my first experience was awesome. The waitress, don’t remember her name was very kind and helpful as she assisted us through selection and preparing the Korean food. At first everything was new to me, but after I got my first taste of the Korean BBQ and hot pot, it felt like “man, you gotta come back.” The diner was quite expensive but worth the price as you get to choose whatever you want. Would recommend this for a group, like a family. But if it is you alone or you and someone else, get the lunch. But I will keep coming back!! Good food and good customer service . ”
