decent hotpot and Chinese bbq place either or both options. the price is budget friendly.

Sometimes your friends are craving hot pot. Sometimes your friends are craving skewers. Here, you get the best of both worlds. They are fairly accommodating of large groups (up to 10 by my estimate) if you call ahead and make a reservation. Larger groups are typically seated in the basement, so be mindful of that if some people in the group are less mobile. Onto the food. There's a WIDE menu that covers so much from meat, veggies, and seafood. My favorites would have to be the pork belly and the fatty beef. Some of the apps that surprised me were the cheese + corn & the garlic enoki mushrooms. Be mindful of how much you order, it can start arriving slow and then come all at once. As there are large orders placed at once, sometimes some items might get delayed, sometimes even lost. Don't hesitate to check in with the staff and ask. It can get cozy when you have a lot of food on the table. When it looks like you're just about done eating, the staff may ask to turn off the induction heating. Last time I went, a waitress got a little too close for comfort (her head was almost in my lap lol), so just stand up or get out of their way.

5/5 food 5/5 service 5/5 ambiance Good food, good vibes, good place, good promotions, good services, good place!

Been here multiple times. One of the best hot pot places in NYC. Clean, fresh, thinly cut meats. Huge menu to choose from with various veggies, meats, seafood, fish balls, sweet items etc. Multiple sauce stations in the restaurant and they are kept full. Awesome wait staff. Great ambiance. Plus extra option to add cooked skewers to the AYCE hot pot mix. The pork wrapped enoki skewers are too good.

I am such a foodie and I can't believe I had never been to a hot pot restaurant! I'm obsessed now! I would love to go everyday.. well if I'm not at a sushi joint! It was like a party in my mouth... the flavors..spices... . Decor was warm and inviting. And the service staff very attentive. Will definitely be back for more!

One of my favorite all you can eat hot pot places. They even do skewers all you can eat. I much prefer the hotpot than the skewer though. Service is usually quick and pretty spacious once inside. I love that at the end, they give you this pudding dessert which taste like jasmine milk tea.

My friend and I ventured here the other day for an all you can eat feast. About $30 a person for hot pot was awesome! We got half and half herb broth and spicy. We loved the pumpkin, enoki mushrooms, noodles, fresh herbs, cabbage, corn, spinach, beef, dumplings, tofu skin, seafood - it was all delicious. The service was great and attentive. Ambiance was fun too - everyone around us was having a great time for a great reason. Will definitely be back to try the BBQ/ hot pot combo - wish we would have known about it. Sounds like an even better deal.

This place is deep into Brooklyn for those who don't live in the area. I came here with a group of friends for a surprise birthday dinner. I've done my research of Kbbq & hot pot places to visit. PLEASE ADVISE its not Korean BBQ but BBQ skewers. Wrongly advertised so please take note! Hence why I dropped one star down. We came in with reservations and were seated immediately. There are two bathrooms and a self serve station for condiments. A lot of spices for those who enjoy their spices intake. My friend who loves spices actually enjoyed it. We were a party of 4 & it's AYCE. We had multiple rounds of raw food and vegetables come in. I don't think there was a time limit because it doesn't say anything of that on the menus or website (website is in another language so I had to rely on Yelp- thank you reviewers!!) Vegetables came in big quantities so we were able to order just one round which lasted the entire night. My party took the BBQ & Hotpot combo, the drinks & desserts add up to the check so be mindful! The servers speak very little English so please be mindful and be clear and specific when ordering! Me and one of my friends didn't want any dessert but the server misunderstood and brought out for each one of us (they only had one dessert which was weird) Other than that, service was pretty decent. I've came here for the prices and it didn't disappoint but I recommend someone in the group to be assertive.

Favorite AYCE hotpot spot. What a steal for $29.99 per person. My favorite broth is pork bone or herbal. The broth isn't as rich in flavor or special as the more expensive hotpot spots but that's why we have dipping sauce. My favorite meats are the fatty beef, angus beef, and beef tongue. They have all the other classic stuff so you can't go wrong! They can easily accommodate large parties as it is spacious with 2 floors.
