    I forgot to take a picture before we started eating but we were so hungry! This has been one of my go to hot pot spot for many years and every time I go it really hits the spot. They put something in their sauce and broth because it is super addicting and I always want to come back. They have a lot of items to choose from and we always get the beef, pork belly, a variety of veggies, and noodles. The servers here are always so much fun and they know exactly what we want because we come here so often. The times I have came in they have always been busy and we usually wait around 10-15 minutes for a table. It's a huge restaurant with lots of space and I also really like how much space there is on the table because always end up ordering a lot.

    Ingredients for our hotpot.

    Amazing mom and pop hot pot shop. Price was very reasonable and all you can eat. All the vegetables were fresh and protein choices were excellent. The service was over the moon. Wendy and Chenina were super friendly and attentive. Our water glasses never went empty. They checked in multiple times to make sure we knew hot to use the hotpot's and sauces to mix in. 5 star across the board. If I were local this would be a weekly stop in.

    This hot pot place has you order everything off a menu, the broth, meat, and veggies. The sauce bar is self serve. There were several options here. I definitely appreciated the garlic sauce and fish sauce. I tend to lean more savory. They have several options meats and veggies. The kids usually get the beef broth and the adults get the spicy one. My only complaint is that I wish there were more than 2 raw beef options. They had several meat and seafood balls, but I would have wanted more of the raw beef that can dipped in the soup. Service was great. They're quick with your orders and friendly. The drinks are in fridge and you just get whatever you want. It's an all you can eat place and for the price, I think it's great for what you get. At the end, everyone does get ice cream. Overall, a great place for a family dinner. I would return.

    This place was so yummy! The broth I got was spicy, but I couldn't stop eating it. Was sooo good!! I love the sauce area where you can make your own kind of sauce!

    Decent all you can eat hotpot. We came here on Saturday around 5:40pm and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We got table right away. Order was easy. Food took a bit of time to get ready as we ordered for 4 people at once. Almost everything was good. The squid was too chewy than normal fresh squid, so I was unsure of its quality. The soup base flavor was simple and didn't stand out much. There is a sauce bar at the end that you can mix up some stuff as you go. Staffs are friendly. Restaurant was clean. Good price for all you can eat.

    Our friends took us to Aki Asian Hot Pot for lunch. Admittedly, I am not a fan of restaurants where I have to work for my food. Basically at Hot Pot restaurants, you choose what kind of broth that you want. The broth you choose is placed in a pot in front of you. While the broth is simmering, you add the ingredients into the broth. Then you take it out when it is done cooking. To me that is work. I like it when the food is already fully cooked, and placed in front of me. Then I just dig in and enjoy. I was the only one in our group who is not a fan of Hot Pot restaurants. All the food that our group ordered appeared fresh. The various meats, seafoods, and veggies all tasted fine. The staff was very attentive and polite. Overall, it was a good experience. Although I am not a fan of these Hot Pot restaurants, everyone else in our group was. They were all happy and satisfied which was nice to see.

    What's a better treat than enjoying a hotpot in arctic weather like yesterday. Went to Aki Asian Hotpot right by the Mississippi Great Wall Supermarket, as Old Town was closed on Wednesdays. Haven't been here for a while since the opening other more convenient hotpot spots, but was pleasantly surprised by Aki's service, speed and selection. Besides fewer soups and the absence of seafood pancake, crab and fresh oysters, the selection was comparable and more than enough for my appetite. Certainly will come back here more often.

    The best thing about this place is probs the price. $23.99 for weekend dinner is pretty much unmatched in any city. BUT that being said, orders that came out was only like 80% accurate. For example we got meatballs which we didn't order and never got 2 other orders that we did put in. On top of that the spicy broth tasted like all it had was peppers. Spice but no depth or seasoning/savory-ness to it. My friend also thought the pork and beef bone broth wasn't that flavorful and a bit watery. The sauce bar didn't have a ton of options or fruit. And the fatty beef meats were cut kinda small making it hard to cook and grab back out. You also would have to keep ordering the beef more often. Some of the veggies weren't that fresh and the beef tripe... don't get me started on it. Just don't get it. And if you order clams. They're huge and take forever to cook just a heads up. Staff was nice and food came out quickly. There was decent variety in the menu. I think if they stepped up their broth game and freshness of some dishes it would be a lot better.

    This was my first hot pot experience and I was not disappointed. The price was great ($23.99 for adults) at any time of day for all you can eat with a wide range of options of proteins including meat, seafood and tofu, veggies and noodles to choose from and even an ice cream for dessert. You mark you order on a paper and they will bring your entire order within minutes. They have a few different base broths and a sauce bar with diverse toppings/sauces. If you don't want the spicy broth but do want some spice, you can ask for a side of spicy sauce so you can add as much or as little spice as you like. You boil your food at your table with your individual burner. There are some 4 person benches and some long tables. They are quick to refill water as well as your broths. The only issue we ran into a few times was the burner turning off on it own but staff were quick to fix it for us each time. Parking is not an issue as it is in a large strip mall with lots of parking. We went at 3pm on a Saturday and we're able to get a booth but by 5pm it was filling up so reservations likely recommended for peak times.

    Yup! They have bottles of beer.

    Is there a limit for the all you can eat cause i know some restaurants advertise it as all you can eat but there is actually a limit?

    No, no limit. I always eat till I'm stuffed or almost stuffed. Sometimes I have stuff left overs after ordering more than I can eat and it's never been a problem.

    Is the spicy beef broth an extra charge?

    It's not an extra charge. It's one of the choices. Enjoy!

    Are there round tables for larger groups or just the long tables?

    It is just the long tables unfortunately.

    How much do kids cost? Is it the same?

    Each age range has its own price. Age 4-6 is $6.99, 7-9 is $10.99, and 10-12 is &12.99. Kids 3 and under are free. Adults $19.99 All you can eat. Seniors $17.99

This place may have good selections for meat but in all honesty the authenticity of what korean bbq tastes and feels like has been stripped away. The flavor is not all there even when I try to use their side dishes like the kimchi and cucumber kimchi. CUCUMBER KIMCHI: This feels like a story excuse for cucumber kimchi. The sauce is just absolutely slobered and over takes any part of the cucumber. It's like a thick sludge rather than tasteful cucumber kimchi. Would you like some cucumber with your thick kimchi sludge? KIMCHI: They don't even have this out at the sides area, you have to ask for this. The problem with this is that the MOST Korean side dish is not readily available at the side dish pick up area. The other main problem is that it tastes sweet? There's is no acidic flavor to the kimchi, it's just all wrong and horrible. THE MEAT: Okay the meat selection is good but unfortunately the thicker sangyupsal is a little too thin. I think there's already a thin sangyupsal option on the menu so I'm not sure why we're getting another thin option. Gotta say though, this is the only place that has the intercostal rib meat which is baller. Overall this place is just not giving authentic. This might do if you're not familiar with traditional Korean bbq and have no expectations or a bar for Korean food, but from someone who grew up like that, this is just lack luster and overall a slap in the face. Im sorry guys but the only reason why this gets a 2 star and not 1 is because the meat selection is good, but Korean bbq is more than just meat, its an experience of diverse flavors where this place just doesn't do that.

HUGE HUGE SELECTION! Im not excactly sure which cuisine it is at first, I believe Taiwanese? Ive picked up some dishes were vietnamese too, like they had Bo Ne, but we didnt end up ordering it, we definetely will have to next time!! Place wasnt too busy and we were greated right away and seated. Everything was clean and organized, we were given I believed iced jasmine or black tea instead of water which was new but in a good way! It was a delicious drink! Will take a picture of the mnu next time, but everything is explained well and the me u is easy to read as well. You can easily chiose your soice level as well as any allergies you might have. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and made sure to ask us how we prefered everything and made good recommendations.Service was quick and friendly and we were checked in regularly! We ordered: "Popcorn Chicken" 3/5 NOT a huge fan of popcorn chicken at all as I always find it dry and wasnt my choice of order but I was suprised! Its a lot more moist and fresh than I thought and the sauce that came with it really complimented the dish! HUGE PORTION TOO!!! Will definetely order next time as well! "Lemongrass Beef Sizzling Ribs" 5/5 This was my most favorite dish, it came in pipping hot and sizzling on a hot skillet! Our server did table service and mixed it for us nicely to enjoy, kind if reminds me of Gyukakus beef rib rice dish as well! The meat is nice and tender, marinated and grilled to perfection. The fried rice mixed with the cheese and onions were perfect combinated with the meat. Its insanely delicious and if you havent ordered it, youre respectfully insane. "Tonkatsu" 4.5/5 There are so many options to their hotpots but we decided to stay basic, we will definetely try the other broths next time! The broth was insanely delicious! Each hotpots come with plenty proteins/veggies. Ours came with lettuce, different tofus, sliced beef, ?fish cake?, immation crab, clams, and more. We have also ordered Taro Milk Tea and Strawberry Creme at the end which tasted so fresh and delicious. It definetely wasnt too sweet, it was just perfect. Im glad we saved room for the drinks hehe. Price was fair for all the food we ordered, everything had good portions and we could even share one main dish perfectly. Tasty Pot offers hearth, fresh, and insanely delicious food with great service! Do not be alarmed if you are not too familiar with cuisine as the staff will help you out and make good recommendations! Will definetely be coming back regularly!

    This is only the second soondae restaurant I've visited in the U.S., but my Korean…read moresister-in-law--who lived in Korea for more than 25 years and has eaten at many soondae restaurants--was genuinely impressed. That's a pretty strong endorsement. Also the interior of the restaurant was fairly modern and clean. For anyone unfamiliar with it, soondae (순대) is a traditional Korean blood sausage made by stuffing pork or beef intestines with a mixture of blood, glass noodles, rice or starch, and seasonings. It's one of Korea's most popular street foods and is typically enjoyed with salt or a dipping sauce. One thing to know before you go: this restaurant specializes in soup-based dishes. Every entrée revolves around soup, including the bulgogi. I had never seen bulgogi served in a broth before, so it was a pleasant surprise for both my boyfriend and me. Most of the soups also included clear glass noodles and came in a wide variety of combinations, so there were plenty of options to choose from. One detail I really appreciated was their takeout packaging. If you have leftovers, they use a professional heat-sealing machine that applies a thin plastic seal over the container before the lid goes on. It's a thoughtful touch that keeps the soup leak-proof and makes transporting leftovers much easier. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food--especially soondae soup--this place is definitely worth a visit.

The service are always top notch, friendly and fast. The dining room and the restrooms are always clean. Besides missing some variety compared to other hot pot places, this place is definitely one of the best place for hot pot north of Denver.
