Everything about this place is a vibe. Cool decor, clean spaces, and items are all well organized…read more There is a huge variety of foods--veggies, tofu, meatballs, milk teas, crepe cake....and a huuuuuuge sauce bar! Also, all the meats we had were really great--they were all flavorful, tender, and beautifully marbled. Broths (we had spicy miso and mala) were also very flavorful, more so than most shabu/hot pot places I've had in Georgia. The thing that drives it all home though is the service. You have excellent servers who are considerate and know when to step away and give you some time, or when to come in and ask if you needed anything else. Our server was friendly, empathetic, and an absolute star. Also, the runners and bussers come in quickly and silently when attending to your table, yet are friendly when responding, well versed on the menu offerings, and quick to take action with anything you needed. I have literally never seen such top tier service at any Asian establishment, let alone restaurants in general. We will be back for the service alone; they contributed greatly to the overall experience so props to management for their excellent employee hiring/training.

This is the restaurant across from Wayfair in Atl (see review). Wend on a Sun when they opened. Greeted immediately by friendly folks, seated right away, but they were not quite finished getting the condiments bar open. I watched staff CLEAN the floors, the stations, etc so I know everything was in good order for the day. The menu- WOW! They have options for ALL taste buds. Ramin is an added $5.00, but worth it. Not sure if they have a Ramin only choice- hummm. The BROTH- WOW! I got the Healthy Herb- will dream of this! Added clams (came on shells), fresh spinach, no noodles- instead got bean sprouts & added the Kpot meats. Yep- they have all you can eat fried rice, sauces & other yummies at the condiment bar. YEEEES! Steamed rice can be ordered. Fun drinks, full bar... make a day of it. Lunch is $21 + the $5 ramin (HUUUGE). Oh boy, you KNOW I'll be going back & there is a local spot 10 mins from my house. Have a great day!!!

It's definitely one of those places where you can really take your time and enjoy the whole experience. The vibe is lively and perfect for going with friends or a group. Service was helpful when it came to explaining how everything works and keeping things stocked. If you're looking for something different and a spot that's more than just a regular dinner, this is definitely a go-to. Come hungry because you're going to eat GOOD

The quality and quantity did not justify the price. The spicy beef broth was also horrible; all I could taste was black pepper, which was overused and completely overpowered the broth, killing my taste buds and leaving it with no flavor. Service: The customer service was extremely poor, with little to no attention given to customers. The overall experience felt unwelcoming. Atmosphere: To make matters worse, the owner was smoking cigarettes inside the restaurant, which made the environment unpleasant. Overall: I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

If you can eat a lot, this can provide a lot of value and you can try a lot of different things. We liked our tomato broth. Pork bone broth was also good. There is tons of selection that you can grab yourself - lots of red meats and seafood! We loved the fishball selection. There is also a cold bar with some other savories and fruit. We ordered slices of beef and lamb. Definitely enjoyed the beef more. Oddly some of our fave items included the free fried stuff there is a fried pork appetizer they bring which is delicious. We also loved the brown sugar rice cakes & fried taro balls for dessert.

I'm not a major hot pot person, but I was pleasantly surprised at the food quality and also with…read morethe attentive service. The all you can eat price, eh, not so much. The Chinese herbal soup was really flavorful. When the meat was soaking in it, I could taste the flavor that was soaked through. I highly recommend this base. The spicy soup was extra, but the reasoning they said was because it's from China. And even getting the very mild was pretty spicy. The concept of going to the four fridges and grabbing your hot pot ingredients was interesting. It's such a waste of skewers though! But the fridge had veggies, skewered meats, seafood, noodles, and much more. Since this is an all you can eat place, you can grab any item freely. I do think they will charge you if there's excess food leftover. Well, says the sign anyway. The lamb and beef were the only two free meat options, but you can order this as much as you can eat. The brown sugar rice cake and crispy fried pork were very unique items that's also in the unlimited menu option. There was also interesting tidbits at the bar area near the sauce bar like beef jerky bits, peanuts, and sweet potato balls with a taro interior. Overall very unique ingredients you can order or extra menu items like pig brain, duck jelly, duck tongue among others. Our group didn't venture into trying these though. The ingredients already included were just as good though.

Lots of fun, a great selection of items and sauce options. Would definitely go again.read more

Unfortunately this location has gone downhill since I was here…read more Met a friend for a late weekend lunch. Meat choices have been drastically reduced as was their quality. Since I wanted non- sauced meats; aka withOUT MSG, there were only 2-3 beef and 2-3 porks to choose from. No chicken without sauce and only very poor quality shrimp with shells. My friend ordered sauced meats including octopus but she didn't like it. She liked LA ribs and finger cut beef. I liked the shaved brisket. While there were many sauces, they didn't have basics like gochujang or samjang. Our server, Maya said she's not allowed to get them from the kitchen. The sesame balls, which we liked again were stiff... not fresh or kept at correct temperature gave our jaws a workout. Their fresh flash frozen vegetables were fine. One thing that was TerrIBle was their slippery floor (from bbq). This is similar to the OG Iron Age Duluth a decade ago. Other Kbbqs like 9292 and 678 which have been around much longer than Kpop, don't have hazardous floors! The price is $33/person for bbq only but the quality, service and choices have tanked. Needless to say, I'll not likely be back anytime soon. With more competition in the area, I'm surprised this first K-bbq mover to Cumberland area has gone south so soon :/

I found a park as soon as I entered the center and I was seated immediately when I walked in. I had the Sichuan and Nutrional bases. I preferred the Sichuan because it had a nice kick. The Nutrional base was okay and not bad. At first I wanted to get the Classic Spicy but was told it was spicier than the Sichuan and I didn't feel up for being on fire at the time. So I plan to try on my next visit. I tried the sliced beef, sliced lamb, fish fillets and shrimp with vermicilli noodles and a side of rice, along with bok choy, seaweed, enoki mushrooms and cilantro. I also went to the salad bar and got some of the tiny spicy peppers which added a little more spice to the base. It was all really good and fresh. The price was very reasonable and the overall service was great. I wish they were closer to me but I'll be back soon.

Best Chinese hot pot in Duluth! I cannot express how much I recommend this place. Especially if you…read morecan catch the lunch deal which is AYCE $24.99. What a steal for all of the food options! They have an amazing sauce bar, fridged items, skewers and sides. I personally liked the skewered meats better than the thinly sliced meats. Everything was clean, fresh and restocked well. Both of the broths we got were flavorful; spicy broth (less spicy) and pork bone broth. The customer service was also amazing. The guy kept checking in on us and keep wanting to ensure we try all the right things and had enough food. I will be back and will be bringing all of my friends and family!

3.5 Stars (I wish Yelp allowed half stars!)…read more Overall, this place was good. It offers a fun and different dining experience since everything is centered around hot pot and skewers. The biggest pro is the value. Dinner is $34.99 AYCE and lunch is $24.99 AYCE, which I think is very reasonable. Another huge plus is that there is no time limit. We ended up staying for over 4 hours just eating, chatting, and catching up. Not once did the staff try to rush us. They were actually only about 30 minutes from closing, and they still let us relax without making us feel uncomfortable. That level of hospitality was definitely appreciated. For the hot pot, you can choose multiple soup bases. Some premium broths cost extra, and if you want four different broths, there's an additional $12.99 charge. Personally, I think two broths are more than enough. With four sections, there's barely any room left to cook your meats, vegetables, and noodles. We tried the Tom Yum and Tomato broths. They tasted surprisingly similar since they're both tomato-based, but in my opinion, the Tom Yum had more flavor. Their tomatoes tasted like straight up tomato sauce. We also sampled the mushroom broth, which was pretty good, although it does have a noticeable herbal flavor from the Chinese herbs they add. One thing I really liked was the self-serve setup. There's a large sauce bar where you can customize your dipping sauce, along with a cold bar offering appetizers, fruit, and desserts. They also have a freezer stocked with several ice cream flavors and a refrigerator full of complimentary drinks like honey pomelo tea, citrus tea, sweet tea, honey green tea, and pear juice; all included with the AYCE price. The refrigerated food section is well stocked with vegetables, noodles, meats, seafood, dumplings, fish paste, pork paste, shrimp paste, and plenty of skewers. The skewers were tiny because each one usually only had a single small piece of food on it. I guess that's the point....it keeps everything from getting lost in the hot pot! They also provide a rolling cart beside your table for extra space, which is actually really useful because your table fills up quickly. Overall, while nothing completely wowed me, the price, variety, and relaxed atmosphere make it worth visiting. I'd definitely come back when I'm really hungry and just want to chow down with friends for a few hours.

There was no limit as to how much we could order at a time, which made it even more amazing (vs some places only allow you to order a couple plates of meat at a time). They are also fairly quick with bringing the food out to your table. There are also additional cold food items and sauces available that you simply help yourself to. Honestly, it's a great deal! Parking is also free.
