    Basic AYCE
    Josh M.

    This place was really good value for all you can eat. I went in with a party of three and we all got the basic AYCE which came with one plate of meat each and all you can eat from the main section. This was plenty and there really was no need to pay the extra $10 per person to get unlimited meat, so I'd recommend this if you are planning on only eating meat. They had so many different selections to choose from including veggies, tteokbokki, and even sushi! Come here hungry, and leave feeling questioning your eating habits:)

    Rib-eye  Brisket

    Visited on Sunday evening with my boyfriend and ordered Combo B, which is the AYCE meat/seafood option (that excludes premium rib-eye). For our broth bases, I chose the Mara while my boyfriend picked the Deungchon-- both were flavorful and great choices. While waiting for our hot pots and meat, I checked out the hot bar, which had side dishes like tteokbokki, japchae, fried rice, and more. I had some dishes from the bar as little appetizers, and they were tasty. For meats, we mostly ordered the non-fatty beef, brisket, and rib-eye. The meat quality was good. My boyfriend also ordered a round of clams and mussels. I personally wasn't too interested because they looked a bit unappealing, but he said they were okay. As a quick intermission from the shabu, we both enjoyed the shaved ice dessert. Unfortunately, near the end of our dining experience, while finishing our last plate of meat, my boyfriend noticed something crawling on the table. He lifted the water cup and found an inchworm. We think it may have come from one of the vegetables we grabbed earlier. We notified our server, who simply squished it and asked if we wanted a new cup. We declined and decided to leave. The inchworm incident definitely brought the experience down significantly, even though it happened near the end of our meal, and it honestly made me consider giving this place only two stars. However, I'm hoping it was just an unlucky mistake because I otherwise enjoyed 9292 Shabu and hope they improve their sanitation practices moving forward.

    As a hotpot vet, I was a bit bummed that they did not have a tomyum broth, but I asked the server what was his fav broth, and he did not disappoint. I went with the spicy dashi which was flavorful and not overpowering with spice. I added a bit more to my liking from the buffet bar which was also nicely set up. Workers are constantly overlooking to keep the bar clean and stocked. They have a very good variety of veggies, noodles, seafood and even dumplings. The self serve icecream and bingsu also adds a nice touch to the sweetness after hotpot. My server was very attentive and swift ad he took care of multiple tables in his section. There was also a little sign asking for a 5 star review which they gave a little gift in return which was pretty sweet for my daughter. The nice lady which seemed to be the owner was very polite and engaging, making sure everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Definitely a very good experience and would come back here for hot pot.

    Came for the AYCE! I got the new soup to try, jjampong! And it was sooo good! It actually tasted like jampong! Wish it was a little spicier but nothing that couldn't be fixed with my own spicy dipping sauce. I also love the concept of having your own pot, it is so much easier to eat when you can just cook what you want and not have to dig through a big pot (cleaner too!) The meats we got and kept getting was the beef rib eye slices! They were so good and had the perfect amount of fatty on it. There were also a lot of selection in the hot bar! I tried the cold noodles but it was very salty! The japchae was delicious tho. The sauce bar was also very clean and stocked up pretty well. I do wish there were more vegetables option if I'm honest. Like enoki mushrooms, different tofu options, yam. But other than that, even if you don't get meat here the veges are pretty filling! Esp with the hot bar. I enjoyed the bingsu machine so much! What an amazing addition! It was so fluffy and perfectly shaved. I also love the powder they have to put on it! Will definitely look forward to coming back here.

    By far my favorite hotpot place. The price is amazing for all you can eat. I choose the 1 tray of meat option because there is so much to eat from the buffet. The people there are so kind and attentive. The buffet is very clean, always fresh and it is getting replenished constantly. The buffet has all types of veggies, dumplings, desserts, tradition korean drinks, hot foods, and two sauce making stands. I love their current bingsu station. Even when I moved to Chicago, I missed this restaurant.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday. Overall, it was just okay. The quality was decent -- I ordered the brisket as my one meat plate, and it was pretty good. There were a lot of options in the buffet for toppings like veggies, noodles, and sauces, which I appreciated. But most of the buffet items tasted a bit stale, like they had been sitting out for a while (understandable for a lunch service, but still noticeable). Next time I come back, I'd probably try the unlimited meat option and just focus on that, since that seemed like the main draw here.

    I would recommend going a tad early to avoid the crowd. If you plan to eat more then 2-3 plates of meat get the unlimited. Service was attentive and food is good and fresh. Overall, clean and fun spot for Shabu with lots of good side dish options.

    This is my favorite shabu ayce spot, their buffet selection is huge, lots of veggie, noodle, fishcakes, and korean hot dishes. My favorite thing is the cute bear broth ice.

    My niece and I visited this restaurant, and it was absolutely delicious--well worth the drive from Athens! They offer an incredible variety of options, including tteokbokki (Korean spicy rice cakes), sushi, and a great selection of refreshing drinks. The buffet area is full of flavorful choices, making it a wonderful spot for anyone, whether you prefer vegan options or enjoy meat and seafood. For those on the vegan side, you can skip the meat prices and still enjoy the hotpot and buffet selections. But if you're a meat lover, this place is a must-visit. For only $40, you can indulge in an all-you-can-eat experience featuring premium meats, hotpot, and seafood. The quality, variety, and overall experience make it an excellent value. Truly worth the trip and highly recommended! The ambiance was amazing not too loud where you cant talk, and service was amazing cups where always refilled

    Clean and spacious all you can eat hot pot in Duluth! The vegetables are fresh and there's so many options to choose from. They also have soba noodles, sushi, and refreshing drinks that come with the all you can eat package. Meat can be purchased separately. Reasonably priced hot pot. Service was attentive. Definitely will be coming back!

    *9 broths: dashi(anchovy seaweed based), vegetable/spicy dashi, vegetable beef bone, mara. 3 new broths: deungchon(korean authentic spicy), tomato, udon-dashi *Basic shabu buffet: +70 vegetables, mushrooms, fishcakes, dumpling, noodles and more *If you wanna enjoy real shabu, you have to order protein: - One plate of protein from $7.99-$9.99 - Combo A is just like the basic shabu buffet but includes 1 plate of meat or seafood of your choice with $7, which is $2 cheaper - If you can eat more than 2 plates of protein, choosing unlimited for $37.99 would be better choice. - They have new protein - bulgogi(sweet soysauce based seasoning), which is perfect match with udon-dashi. *K-food and more - Tteokboggi, fried dumpling, fried rice, house-made kimchi, soba naodle - shrimp tempura roll, california roll, spring roll - dessert: fruit, salads, rice punch, cinnamon punch, pudding This place is every Buffet lovers paradise. The ambiance of the place was very clean and 9292 is just a great place to eat good hotpot on a chilly day. This is a must try if you are looking for something to warm the soul.

    We met up with a friend here and overall experience was pretty good. Lots of food items to choose from and it's AYCE! They have a menu for choosing variety of meats and broth type. We all went with the bone broth. They also have a buffet style for choosing your vegetables, fish balls, tofu, to make your sauce and condiments, etc. the broth comes tasteless with no salt or pepper. It's kind of self service and you the only thing that requires service is beverages, ordering meats, and more broth. I am normally use to flavored broth in shabu shabu and I can see why they made it without salt and pepper so you can flavor it yourself but I'd personally like some flavor to it. Other than that, everything was great! I'd totally try it again if I'm in town because of the variety of options in the buffet. Place is bigger than it looks! Great for small or large groups. Till then, let's eat!

    This is the spot where I come for hotpot... but somehow end up getting full off the buffet sides instead . Like, where else can you load up on tteokbokki, soba noodles, sushi rolls, fried rice, jello, and fruit salad all in one go?! For broth, I personally loved the udon dashi (goes well w beef bulgogi) and beef bone broth--both packed with deep flavors! And for dipping, the black sesame and peanut sauce were my go-to for that rich, nutty flavor. Oh, and the bunny pudding costs an extra $3, but it's SO cute--honestly might be worth it just for the picture... service was good, if you come during weekend or rush hour(lunch/dinner time) it might get busy.

    Not good, will not return. Hotpot cannot use plastic spoons, which made you just drink plastic soup and eat food cooked by plastic soup.

    Best BBQ is a Cantonese food stall located inside Great Wall Supermarket. They sell favorites like…read moreroast pork and duck as well as dim sum. Out of all the food stalls in the food court, this one was the most popular when I went. It was pretty lively in the back corner, which is where this place is located. I thought the service was fine. The workers are there to get work done, not to perform outstanding customer service. I got the Crispy Pork on Rice! I love getting this meal at these Cantonese/Chinese places. I found the pork belly to be really tasty. There was a nice marinade over the skin and meat, plus the skin was pretty crispy even when some of the pieces got a little too moist inside the container. I thought there was a generous portion of the crispy pork in my meal. There were some mustard greens in the rice plate which added nice variation in taste. I also got a small cup of complementary soup on the side which I did not try but it did smell good. Overall, I think that my meal was pretty good. I would probably come back if I am ever inside the Great Wall Supermarket.

    Terribly mismanaged and horribly operated. Look, the food is good, but your service should make you…read moreshameful. I placed my order at 4:00pm as it said on the receipt. They first attempted to give me part of my order to dine-in, even though I mentioned to-go. The person trying to hand me the partial order attempted to blame me for not mentioning to-go, then her co-worker who took the order stepped in and said it's to go. After some back and forth between the two of them, they went ahead and gave my partial order to someone else and had that order prepped to-go. Fine and dandy. What time do you think I finally got my order? Remember, it was placed at 4:00pm. Lo and behold, they call me up at 4:56pm. Not only that, they called me up to someone else's order. I know this because I chimed in and said it's been an hour. The order taker replied that it's only been a few minutes. I presented him the receipt. He reads it and says, "Oh." Then he tells the lady to switch the bags because mine wasn't the one they tried to hand me. No apology. No, "Thank you for your patience." Nothing whatsoever besides an, "Oh." Food is good. Seating and ambiance is in a torn down, desperately in need of remodeling, Chinese grocery store. So to your oh, I say hell no. Ain't worth the disrespect and certainly my time.
