"This was a terrific experience. Everyone should try this. You first choose a broth for the hot pot. I like the Tom Yum but the Kimchi was very good also. Then pick all the things you want in your Hot Pot (soup). I usually add several meats, mushrooms, vegetables, and noodles - there is a huge selection. Don't forget to add seasonings like garlic, sesame oil, green onions, pepper or whatever you like. While the hot pot cooks you can grill the meats you choose - I like the marinated meats which are excellent. There is also a nice selection of cooked food as well as sushi. Overall, it was an interesting way to have a nice meal with friends."

"I drove about an hour and a half just to try this place, and it was 100% worth it. The food was delicious, and for the price you pay compared to how much you can eat, it’s honestly a steal. I’ve been to more expensive Korean BBQ spots that don’t even come close when it comes to flavor - especially their marinated meats. The service was quick, and every server I interacted with was super nice and helpful. I’m definitely coming back every week. If you’re into Korean BBQ or hot pot, this spot is a must-try."

"Hae pot was an amazing experience for me and my family!! We had an awesome meal with the hot pot and bbq, it was completely worth it getting both! I got the spicy mala and it was very flavorful but spicy. There was a lot of options at the buffet including vegan options. The meats were marinated very well and I loved the sauce bar where you could make your own sauces. The premade food was also very good! The servers were amazing, the general staff was very helpful and nice. I also got the mango bubble tea and it was very tasty. We also got the honeydew slush to try and we loved it. 10/10 experience, will 100% be back!!"

"Delicious hot pot and kbbq spot! If you don’t know how to dine out with Korean BBQ or hot pot I recommend watching a few videos. For the critics: Yes, you do have to cook it yourself, but it’s a communal experience and very fun. Full disclosure: we drive a hour and twenty minutes for this place every other week. We travel often and try to eat hot pot with every trip out of state; this is in our top 3 hot pot places! Recommend the tonkotsu (pork) soup base. Tons of sauce selections at the bar for you to customize your own experience. Hot food at the bar is actually good; they seem to put out smaller batches of it so it has been consistently fresh for us. BBQ options are phenomenal. Love the strip loin, shrimp, and chicken. Hot pot options are top tier. The hot pot rolled meats are great quality. Everything is fresh and constantly tended. Try the quail eggs! They have recently improved their vegetable selection which is a big deal for us since my wife eats mostly vegetarian. The last time we came (pre improvement) the manager (I believe she’s a manager) actually went to the back and got us additional vegetables. Since then it seems they’ve expanded the selections and we are thrilled with it. Service is consistently good. Wait staff is friendly and very helpful. Suggestion to management: we love your sauce bar! If you see room for it, we’d love a peanut paste/sauce addition! The sesame is great, but we love a good peanut-based sauce."

"This place is FIRE! I have avoided hot pots because I thought it’d be weird to share pots but once I got there and saw the set up it made sense. Service is so good here. They are friendly and helpful. The soups alone were delicious but adding the bar ingredients was cool experience and so fire. My first hot pot- I will definitely be back."

"Give yourself plenty of time to eat; this is not a fast-food restaurant. This was a fun and different experience, and we had a great time. Don't worry if you are new to this type of restaurant; the servers will explain how everything works. I've included a few pictures of the buffet items that you can cook. We did the hot pot and the Korean BBQ. There are also a few already-cooked items that would be found in a typical buffet restaurant."

"It took us a while to check out this place because of the mixed reviews. But we were nearby at lunchtime and decided to give it a try, and we’re glad we did! We were very pleased with our hot pot broth choices: seafood, kimchi, and miso. The miso was the mildest, and our son said he might try the seafood next time. There are plenty of options for hot pot, and to our surprise, they also offer Chinese dishes and sushi (and they were good!). We really enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back. The service was okay."

"I loved my first time here. The wait was not long.. however, our table was not set like the others so we had to ask for utensils etc from other waiters because we barely saw our own. Otherwise the food variety was awesome!!!! Everything was good and I appreciate the opportunity to discover new foods. No one rushes you although you have a time limit of 2 hours. Best Korean bbq I've visited. Will be returning."
