Hot Pot Korean BBQ is an all you can eat still restaurant. They do have a waste fee which is 13.99/pound of food wasted, so I would recommend you take a little at a time in order to enjoy everything. Out waitress was very sweet and attentive, she recommended a sweet cold Sake that paired well with our meat choices. You do have a choice of Hot Pot or BBQ, but I would recommend doing both to get the full experience. This place has been single-handedly my favorite places to come. I always look forward to coming here!

Our first time ever going to the Hot Pot & Korean BBQ on Beach Blvd was on behalf of my daughter's request for her birthday dinner. We had seven in our party and got seated pretty quickly. The food selection was abundant and the hot soup selection was the same. Our party had the Hot Pot & Korean BBQ, which everyone really enjoyed and as you can imagine we left satisfied & very full. I highly recommend Hot Pot & Korean BBQ and will be returning. Update, I have returned to Hot Pot & Korean BBQ numerous times now. Date night with my husband and lunch date with my daughter. This is one of our favorite spots and we will continue to come here. I recommend everyone to try it. It will not disappoint. Hot Pot & Korean BBQ is a great restaurant with great food and we love it!!

This is our go to spot for for Hotpot which is a great place to take in 2 hours of cooking your own food with friends or just a date. This place has HotPot AND KBBQ. The Hot Pot sides come around on a conveyer belt and everyone gets their own broth. There are several choices however I prefer the herbal and my wife loves the spicy broth. The Korean BBQ Grill is central to every table. You can get one or the other but its best to get both! Aside from the sides on the "magical" conveyer belt, there is a bar full of a wide selections of raw meats and seafood [some pre marinated] for both the hotpot and/or Korean BBQ. This place can be VERY busy! The perfect time to go is right when they open. The staff is very nice and will help you if you've not been before.

This spot is located at the corner of a large plaza that shares a parking lot with a variety of businesses. At the entrance of the restaurant is a waiting area which I suspect will definitely be needed if folks come by here during peak hours. My party dropped by around 8 PM on a Saturday and we waited a whole hour before getting in. Apparently, quite the popular spot! The restaurant is filled with tables that seat 4-6 people (looks like they have a private side room as well). There are approximately 20-30 of such tables at the establishment. The restaurant specializes in KBBQ and hot pot. Each patron would get an individualized hot pot in front of them and if they choose to do KBBQ as well, there is a grill in the middle of the table for everyone to share. There is an option to just eat hot pot or KBBQ, but in my opinion, individually, there isn't quite enough options individually for it to be worth the 30+ dinner AYCE price. It's about three to five dollars more to do both; if you've waited so long to get in, might as well, right? The food (mostly uncooked) is set out buffet style or passed around on a conveyer-like that circulates the tables (I think it's done by magnets?). The sauces are found at the buffet bar area as well. Ice cream is also available with some cake for dessert. Overall the food was pretty good if folks get the right stuff at the buffet line. There are plenty of meat options, so don't worry about being skimped on that there. Rice is available for order, if you'd like to have that. The only minus for me is that the restaurant isn't the cleanest. The table we were at felt grimy, enough so that I didn't want to put my silverware directly on the table. The buffet bar and the the sauce bar could also do better with more periodic clean-ups. The servers were helpful and no complaints from that side of things. Overall, I would be willing to come back...if the wait wasn't an hour long.

We had had our first hot pot/BBQ experience in Orlando and my family was craving it again. We liked this place better than the last one! The food was fresh and delicious, service was excellent and friendly, and the conveyor belt really made it fun. The price to include BBQ and hot pot really makes it easy to pick both. There is a nice variety of soup bases to choose from, and plenty of quality proteins and condiments to select. I love the conveyor belt vegetable selections that make it easy to pick out just what you like without leaving your seat. (There are a few tables not against the conveyor, but there's an open section they can walk up to instead.) Plenty of parking in the large shopping area around the restaurant. There is a time limit on how long you can sit which I believe is standard for these types of restaurants. Overall we were very satisfied and are looking forward to our return visit.

I didn't know what to expect when I was invited to this Korean BBQ spot but I was told it gets extremely busy around dinner time...and they DONT take reservations. So this is basically a buffet which contains meats, chicken and seafood which you cook on a small flat-top grill at the table. The table also has burners for a pot where your soup will boil. After cooking your meats, you can put them into your hot pot to spruce things up a bit. (Maybe all hot pot restaurants are like this, it's not really my thing so it was my first time) You get a two hour time limit and they can refill your soup if you need more liquid during the meal. After dinner, they have an ice cream station where you can scoop yourself a cup of a handful of different flavors. No frills here but ok if you're a big eater. Costs about $30-40/person.

I like the service here vs other competitors in the market. They really take good care of their customers and the ambiance here is welcoming. Unlike the other places this place brings you your proteins. Now the other places have better sides and more options. This place has a weak salad bar with side and a whole bar of seasonings. Which was overwhelming. We went during the holidays and had. A large group which they accommodated without any problems.

If you're reading this Yelp review you are sworn to secrecy. There no way for $30 you can eat all you want with fresh salmon. Half blue crab. Lamb, pork, beef. Custom sauces. Ramen. Udon noodles. Veggies and etc. My brothers gf comes here so often, the man at the door greeted her by name. Our server also made me a peanut sauce for dipping. They have those little magnet tables too that go around the restaurant. So effing. Cool.
