I ate here during a work event, so my mind wasn't completely focused on the food -- haha! But I liked everything I chose for my hotpot and my barbecue. I just wished I got less because I was way too full by the end! They have two sections of meat, a full wall of veggies, another full wall of miscellaneous hotpot toppings, and a section of prepared food like tteokbokki and spring rolls. The staff was super helpful, giving me a bowl that I originally wasn't given at my seat. They also let me grab a fortune cookie when I left the restaurant. The bathrooms were clean too.
My husband and I both enjoyed our visit! All you can eat meats, appetizers, even desserts. Hubby enjoyed some of the appetizers with his meats. I ate meat only. It's self-serve so you don't have to wait for them to bring you another round. Everything was delicious!
Took my daughter to Dama-A to celebrate her birthday, and it did not disappoint. It's located in the former Chosun Korean BBQ space, which has since closed, and the transformation is impressive. This was only my second time having hot pot, but I felt like a pro. I chose my soup base, selected my protein, then added veggies and noodles. Pro tip for fellow newbies, grab napkins and forks if you're not using chopsticks. They also have a QR code at the table that walks you through the whole process of making spring rolls, which is super helpful. (I was too full to experience this) In addition to hot pot, I selected beef bulgogi, (which you cook at the table), rice, Sigeumuchi Namul (a spinach side dish), which tasted just like my Korean mother-in-law's, a fried chicken wing, and an egg roll. Everything was delicious, and I was beyond full. Too full for the chocolate ice cream cones I saw everyone walking around with. I'll definitely be back and will bring my son, who has a much heartier appetite than I do. I'm also trying the Japchae next visit. The staff were kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, especially with first-timers. The owner even stopped by our table to say hello and ask how we were enjoying the meal, which was a really nice touch. (she immediately recognized my daughter who is obviously a repeat customer) The renovations are elegant and modern. The restaurant is clean, the veggies were fresh, and the overall experience was enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Last review of 2025. Let's go: DAM-A is an all you can eat Asian diaspora adventure. ***Emphasis*** on adventure. If you're not already well versed with Asian cuisines and/or familiar with Korean BBQ, hot pot, Vietnamese spring rolls, and the general "build it yourself" concepts going into these cuisines, it's going to be overwhelming with multiple Asian cuisines colliding in a "do it yourself" atmosphere. There's very little guidance. The staff is kind, but the vibe is very much on some "good luck, you'll figure it out." This is technically a Korean BBQ spot, but it's also hot pot, plus a DIY Vietnamese spring roll station, plus a back wall of sauces and prepared foods that dip into Chinese (and maybe Japanese?) territory. It's an Asian cultural mashup buffet, and you're responsible for making it all make sense. The spring roll station is "optimistic". They give you a bowl of water that's too small to properly soak rice paper and plates that aren't big enough to lay it flat. So yes, you will be freestyling. Get creative. You'll survive. If you want to avoid chaos, here's the move: Start with hot pot. Order your broth first so it can heat while you grab meats and veggies. Let that simmer. Then move on to Korean BBQ and grill your meats. Eat, relax, pace yourself. After that, explore the prepared foods, attempt a spring roll, and end with dessert. That order saved us from missing anything or feeling rushed. A little personal tip from me: put cooked japchae noodles inside your spring rolls. Absolutely the move. Trust me. Anyway, DAM-A is fun if you know what you're doing or come with someone who does. Find your rhythm, don't expect hand holding and accept that this is a "figure it out as you go" experience. Once you do, it's actually pretty enjoyable.
This place was phenomenal! Hot pot buffet style. Great staff that checked twice on our soup level/waters over around an hour stay - which was perfect for me. Tons of great veggie, meat, seafood, and sauce options! I also loved the ice cream machine :) It's typically $36 for dinner after 3PM, but Wednesday is $26! Highly recommend !
We went for someone's bday and it landed on a wednesday when they have 26$ deal which was AWESOME. This is a last minute plan and I had saw that someone said you must make a reservation so I made one for 30 minutes after I called. Not 100% sure if they really needed a reservation because they didn't know about the bday but that's okay! Just wanted to let everyone know that if you can't make a reservation it should be okay. They will check your ID though, so it needs to be the exact day. Food is solid. Lots of choices... almost too many choices... Hot pot broth is solid but the spiciest options were too hot for me (sichuan I think) but the second level down was a good level. Bulgogi was a little thin but still tasted good. The kimchi is weak sauce, needs to be fermented longer. Service was phenomenal, they were so on top of everything. The interior is also very nice and modern. Only complaint is more/better ventilation.
Not bad at all! I like the various meats and veggies we got to pick from. The soup base was delicious and it was a good environment. They were very on top of changing out the bbq grills to make sure its not burning up. Would I come back? Yeah, why not!
My husband and I stopped in for hot pot the other day and had a great experience. Like many hot pot places, they also have KBBQ available. However, they allow you to eat both!! (While other places in Austin make you choose one or the other) They had a great selection of meats, vegetables, sauces, seafood, fried items, sides, etc. We'll definitely be back!
This building was previously Chosun, a delicious Korean restaurant. I'm glad it has stayed Korean! This is a smaller, more intimate Hot Pot place compared to Soup Leaf. This place is great! We came for a weekday lunch. Luckily for us, it wasn't too busy, so it was super easy to get whatever foods from the raw bar whenever we wanted. Excellent selection of hot pot meats, Korean grill marinated meats, vegetables, seafood, apps, and sauces. Service was quick and friendly. I hope they stay busy enough to stay in business! Quality was great. Wasn't too loud to talk to the guests at our table.
I like how you can choose your meat from the freezer! I really like this spot for their kbbq over other places because a lot of the meat are thinly sliced. I wish you can just do kbbq or just do hot pot as an option. Usually places do both as an add on but here they only have bother because I think just the grill or just the hot pot is enough. The workers were nice and they cleared our tables often and the inside if cute and not too crowded when we went.
So this was an awesome experience. I wasn't that hungry until I got here. I was a bit overwhelmed at first and didn't know where to start. But as I walked around I noticed it was a very nice place and very clean. The service was great too. I enjoyed trying everything they had to offer since you get the soup broth and a cook top to try different things. They switched out the cook top for us a few times without even having to ask. We had a group of 4 and could have sat 2 more. So a great spot for a big group.
Took my sister here for her bday because they have a special where you get a free meal if you come on your bday. Must make a reservation! And they do check your ID, so don't try to cheat! The concept: kbbq and shabu shabu all in one! You also have the liberty to grab all the things you want, which they have a great selection of. Meats, veggies, sauces, noodles, fried things - they have everything! We invited our friend Gabby and he ended up going the next day to take his parents, and then he's brought other friends there, as well as told others to go there! Great value, great price, friendly service and they even took a Polaroid of us since it was my sister's bday!
Today my family and I stopped by Dam-A for the first time. We went at an off time (after lunch between dinner) so it was very easy to get a table. We were probably one of the only parties in the restaurant which makes sense since we went at 2:30pm. There is plenty of parking as this place is in a standalone building. Location-wise I think this is in a random area away from foot traffic. Since it is a weekend the price is $36 per person regardless of lunch and dinner and you get both hotpot and KBBQ. Immediately after being seated somebody came by to give us waters and take our broth orders. I appreciated that they timed it to where the broth would be ready by the time you got back to the table after picking out your ingredients. I enjoyed the variety of vegetables and meats for both hot pot and kbbq but when I was picking out ingredients I noticed a huge dead fly on the mushrooms. This probably means that the fly had probably been on the same spot for a while. It took me a while to flag down an employee so I let the person who brought out our broths know that there was a dead fly in one of the veggie tubs. They told me they would deal with it, but they didn't even ask me any details on where I saw it so it sat there out on the floor for a while. I ended up letting another employee know after a while and they immediately took it away. I think it makes sense that there isn't someone constantly checking on the veggies since it was at a non-peak hour but it's still off putting to see that sit out. As for the food, I ordered the mala broth and it was a good level of spicy to where it wasn't numbing or painful. I wish it was more flavorful, it felt like it was missing something. I also noticed that the employees continually replenish the meats. I liked the sauce bar as well, there are plenty of options for sauces and condiments. They also have various side dishes that are self serve as well. There are also fruits and desserts (brownies and soft serve) as a sweet treat. Everything except for the broth is self serve. Overall the food was decent but there were some instances where I questioned the cleanliness of it all. I think the price point of their AYCE is pretty consistent to what I've seen at similar places from where I'm from (Dallas). This is the closest thing I could find in Austin to malatang and feel like maybe that's a concept they should consider exploring since they pretty much have all of the components!
What a fun and interesting experience mixing Korean BBQ with Chinese hot pot! There were 8 of us in a private room last Friday evening. The process was a bit confusing to us newbies but we had a Korean friend with us who helped us navigate as well as explain things for us to some of the waitstaff who spoke better Korean than English. I wanted to try everything, but they ask you only get what you can eat since it's an All You Can Eat situation. You can't take any leftovers. We ordered a couple of bottles of sake and some soujou. One was too sweet so we traded an unopened one for a less sweet one. We all tried the meats, seafoods, veggies and had different broths for the hot pot. They have a nice dessert station too. They refill your broth upon request. I look forward to coming back again soon and trying more things! read more

First time here since it's new name, new owners and new restaurant style. Dam-a is an ayce hotpot and kbbq restaurant. I made a reservation online but when we arrived there was no wait. They also have a wait-list tablet at the hostess stand. We were greeted and seated immediately. The server asked if we'd been there before and since we had not, she explained the menu and where to get the food. We picked our hot pot broth and then went to the buffet area for all the hot pot and kbbq meats, seafood and veggies. There's also an appetizer bar. I enjoyed the japchae, chicken wings, spring rolls, pickled radish and kimchi. There is a great sauce bar too. I had the mushroom broth and he had the seafood broth with a small side of the mala broth. The broths were delicious, and there was so much to choose from on the buffet. We had servers check in with us frequently and topped off our broth when needed. I made sure I saved room for the complimentary coffee, desserts and soft serve ice cream. We really enjoyed our food and service so we will definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend and I love to visit DAM-A. We've been several times and never had to wait for a table. Everything is buffet style including the meat and sauce bar. They also have a ton of options including seafood and veggies that are always fresh. It isn't too loud or crowded inside either. Highly recommend! read more
Another KBBQ/hot pot AYCE restaurant in Austin... except it's in North Austin! Staff is so friendly, and I'm pretty sure it's family-run. They're very attentive and come by frequently to clear your plates and fill up more broth. This is a self serve option, so literally everything is self serve. I do think that's a good idea in concept if you'd prefer to eat exactly what you want, but I won't lie... I'm lazy, and I don't like getting up LOL. However, I still think this is a good option if you're craving both hot pot and KBBQ. Their tonkatsu broth is quite flavorful, and the quality of ingredients seems to be pretty good. I didn't expect much from their appetizers, but I was surprised by how good the japchae and spaghetti were! The potatoes were also really yummy. I would come back again! I don't think Austin has many good AYCE options, and this might be the only one up north. Worth a visit! read more
Was glad we got to try this new hotpot kbbq combo spot Dam E - it was the perfect post workout meal. The price was fair for how many options they offered (also had a spring roll station and a hot foods station!) and the broth and service was A plus. The meats were fresh and aplenty and the sauce station was well stocked. Definitely recommend Dam E for a hot pot on a cold day. I'll be back soon! read more
I made a Yelp reservation for 2 people for a Friday night at 6:00 pm. The restaurant was only half occupied and there was plenty of free parking available in the parking lot. We were sat immediately at a 4 top table near the buffet, and I was surprised to see there was also a kbbq grill because I only knew walking in that this place offers hot pot! I choose a tonkotsu soup base for my hot pot, and then we were free to choose meats, veggies, sides and sauces from the buffet! They had a variety of options from each category to choose from, and everything was so organized and clean! All the ingredients were fresh, flavorful, and prepared well. After our bbq grill got dirty from the marinated meats, there was a staff member making rounds and changing out the grills to new ones. I have been to other all you can eat hot pot and kbbq restaurant, such as KPOT in South Austin, and DAM-A exceeds all of the other placed I've tried! This is a fanastic place for a date night or a friend get together. Come hungry! read more

Two of my darling hubby's absolute favorite things are Korean food and hot pot, so you can imagine his glee when I ran across Dam-A and texted him the Yelp profile! He hearted it immediately and texted back "Yum! Must try immediately!" Well, that was yesterday, and we're going today, so it's as immediate as we could manage, but we are BEYOND excited, and I will report back when we get there... We're here! This place is literally a fantasy playground for all lovers of Korean hot pot and BBQ! What an utterly genius concept, y'all! Like Soup Leaf, you choose your broth, and they prep it while you gather your delicious bits in the buffet style area! They have everything that you can imagine to add to your hot pot, including ramen (my guilty pleasure) plus all the rest of the noodle types, every kind of meat imaginable, all sorts of veggie options, and sauces GALORE! Where it departs from Soup Leaf is the BBQ portion of this thing! On your table, in addition to the hot pot area, is a large griddle, if you will. You can grill to your heart's content, and the grilling options are INSANE! Every kind of both marinated and not marinated meats that you could possibly want, including beef bulgogi, pork bulgogi, pork belly, pork shoulder, spicy chicken, brisket, beef belly, beef tongue, pork jowl, and eye of round! Plus tons of seafood options, including crawfish, scallops, clams, and shrimp (we're not sure if those are meant for the grill or the hot pot, but we're experimenting)! Most people here are wrapping their cooked meats in lettuce with sauce and veg, so we're copying the pros, and it is just stupid good! There are also a few prepared dishes like a sweet potato noodle stir-fry, braised potatoes, and spicy rice cakes with veggies, as well as veggie tempura! There's no way to leave here hungry, y'all, and get this! All you can eat for lunch at...wait for it...$26 per person! What an absolute STEAL! Suffice it to say that we're adding this to our regular rotation, too! Darling hubby, after laying waste to the BBQ portion is now moving on to the hot pot portion, while I sip my Kirin Light and revel in his happiness! Thank you SO much, Dam-A! This was seriously such fun! We'll spread the well-deserved word! read more
I really love this place. The stations are always so clean and well maintained by the staff who are so attentive to your table to make sure it is clear of dirty dishes and replacing our grill plate when needed. The food options are also great. We love that we can pick and choose our own meats from the freezer and marinated meats stand. All the vegetables are always fresh and I saw that they offer more seafood options like crab, clams, scallops and pre-peeled shrimp. There's so many ways to prepare a meal here that the varieties are endless. Like today I made a bibimbap with my grilled meats and used the vegetables, sauces, and pickled condiments to complete my delicious bibimbap. If you find yourself hankering for a lot of good food, Dam-A is the place to go. read more
The food was delicious, the setting and spread were great. But that alone doesn't define our experience at DAM-A and how respectful and helpful their staff really were. During our trip to DAM-A the staff were extremely friendly and attentive, the manager even coming over and encouraging us to try a special sauce they made in house (which was delicious). What we didn't expect though, was for the power to go out in the restaurant. When the lights go out, sometimes the show stops, yet somehow it didn't here. If anything the situation made the somehow great service even better. The waiters went into overdrive handling grumpy customers and concerned patrons. Not for a second in all the chaos of the situation did we feel unattended to or as a second thought. The meat was delicious, specifically their bulgogi. The sides were delicious and the spring roll station was a nice touch. We enjoyed how unique and balanced the options were as well as the dual KBBQ and hot pot dynamic there was. If you ever find yourself looking to support a small business that truly, and I mean TRULY, cares about its customers, then please stop by DAM-A. You won't be disappointed. read more
Made reservations here on Yelp. But it wasn't needed on a Thursday evening. We got a seat right away at our table. Everyone gets their own hot pot, and the grill is to be shared. We picked our broth, and our waitress showed us around where the meat and veggies were. The layout of the restaurant is okay, but if you are sitting near the front of the restaurant, it is a decent amount of walking if you are carrying a plate of food back and forth. The tonkatsu broth lacked flavor; luckily, I was able to spice it up and add additional flavoring from the sauce bar. They don't have much meat selection here, just a few. I felt like most of the seafood tasted rotten to me and my sister, and we avoided that after tasting a couple of things. For Korean BBQ, it wasn't bad. We tried the spicy pork bulgogi and the kimchi, and overall, it was decent. The grill did take a long time to heat up. I do recommend getting some sesame oil to coat the grill as it isn't nonstick. read more
Wow. Genuinely floored with how good this place is. No stranger to Korean BBQ in Houston, Austin and Vegas. This is easily the best place I've ever been to in terms of selection, quality and freshness. Hot pot, BBQ, spring roll, appetizers... fantastic options. Service was on point, changing out plates and grills regularly. Attentive but not hovering. Met a friend for lunch, will be adding this to the regular rotation. Probably the best Korean BBQ in Austin. read more

A pretty cool and interesting AYCE experience. They have several different broths you can choose from for hot pot. There was quite a large selection of things you could pick for hot pot and BBQ. Some of the meats were still very frozen, not sure if that's intentional. The food tasted alright but I've had better hot pot and Korean BBQ elsewhere. It was a fun and interesting experience though. read more

One of the best all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spots I've ever visited! They offer a wide variety of meats, and I loved that you get your own portions to grill. The price also comes with unlimited hot pot. The selection is impressive, and they even have dessert with coffee on the side -- a nice touch to end the meal. Lunch (Mon-Fri) is a great deal at $26 until 3 PM, and dinner is $36. The service was outstanding, and the restaurant was spotless. Highly recommend! Family, friends, solo, and couple friendly! Lots of parking availability read more

We recently went here again during lunchtime. This is an hour-plus drive for us, but it's worth it. We have a couple of AYCE KBBQ places closer to us, but this place is better, in our opinion. Different or more dessert options would be nice, but even without them, it's still good. Loved the japchae and hotpot!! Honestly, it was still great, and we are sad that it was our last visit, as we are moving soon, so that last visit was bittersweet. Service still good and ambiance was simple. read more
This was my first time having Korean food so I can't really compare it to other Korean food experiences- but it was really tasty. The broth options were plentiful I thought - I think there were 6-7 options? It's a buffet style so if you're good at building a bowl or udon, ramen, or rice noodles with all the fixings, you should do pretty well here. I didn't really know what I was doing or what food combinations were good, but the server was nice as could be and led me around the buffet and talked me through the whole thing. Ambience was casual, I'd say good for a family style dining experience where you're preparing dinner with your family or friends. Overall, it was really good - I need more practice. Only thing I didn't love was how my clothes and hair smelled afterwards. read more
