If you've never had hot pot, now is the time! The food is AMAZING! Don't sleep on the appetizers, they are amazing. Yes service can be slow at times but have patience, it's a small restaurant and the wait is worth it! If you're new to hot pot and are like me and my wife I recommend getting the herbal broth. It's basic but there is a spice bar to where you can make it as spicy, garlicy or sweet as you want.
A friend and I came at an off time so we didn't wait. This is the first time I've had Korean BBQ and loved it. There's cooktops on the tables where you can grill meat and cook soup, plus there's a spice bar with all kinds of spices from mild to hot where you make up your sauces. Everything you order is basically ala carte. From different meats to vegetables. We also ordered crab rangoon which was the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere as well. I would definitely come here again. Loved this place. I have to thank the waitress for taking the time to explain how everything works.
This was my first experience with Korean hot pot and now I'm hooked. The service was excellent I liked that they expected you to take a while with your dinner. Love the bulgogi and the other meat we had. The vegetables were different but delicious. We got medium spice and then since my friend likes the hotter spices, she used the sauces to spice it up. We had a wonderful waitress that took her time explaining how it was done excellent dining experience here, we will be back
Love, love this place. Located in a strip mall, kind of a hole in the wall that you don't want to miss! They have awesome authentic hot pot soup that is so delicious! Recommend the Herbal soup base. Add your choices of veggies, meats, and sauces. They even have a gluten free menu! This place is worth the drive and the service is always awesome!
Great service, fresh wonderful food, very helpful with the food prep process for the table! We had a great time
I give them 5 stars even it took a while to finally get some food. We got Tom yum, mushroom and house special broth. They're all so good but I only recommend the house special broth for people that can handle spicy food. You gotta get the crab Rangoon it sooooo freaking good.
As a gluten free vegetarian, most places don't have any options. The ones that do have one or two. Lotus hot pot had so many choices I can't wait to come back to try more!
The lobby is cute, it does look like they are currently making updates to it. Everything is Al a Carte: the prices are a bit pricey for veggies. The different veggie choices are $4 a platter, (even spinach), and the meats were fairly priced. You can choose to do hot pot or kbq. The service wasn't horrible but wasn't great. I did enjoy my Tom Yum: however I had wanted a different flavor and they didn't have it..
We absolutely loved this place! The choice between Korean bbq or hot pot was too difficult so we chose them both! We ordered crab Rangoon as an appetizer, and let me tell you that they are so dang delicious!! Next we got the Tom Yum broth and chose chicken, tomatoes, bok choy, and more to add to the hot pot. The servings are enormous so be careful how many you ask for without first seeing the portions. The Korean short ribs were super tasty and flavorful! 10/10 from this travel trio! The service was quick, friendly, and very helpful!
Let me start by saying that this place is al a carte AND that the chopsticks ARE NOT DISPOSABLE. The chopsticks are extremely long, I assumed they were disposable & asked my husband to break the ends off for me so I could eat better... come to find out they, are in fact, the restaurant cutlery. I felt awful. Anyway-- the food was good. It wasn't what we were expecting/hoping for, but it was good. If you're going with a friend or spouse, I would recommend doing the meat & veggie platter. It ended up being the perfect amount for us... & we EAT!
