    All you can eat! This was great. Service was wonderful- one employee running around and she crushed it. Meat was so flavorful and had so many options. This was clean and delicious! Great time with friends and staff was very kind!

    Never been to an AYCE Korean BBQ and Hot Pot combo before.... WOW this is an elite pairing. I've been telling all my friends about it. And for $38?! Such a good deal. Reservations can be made on Yelp. We went with a large group and luckily the wait wasn't too bad. They also have an upstairs with tables that can accommodate bigger parties, which is a plus. Your server takes drink and hot pot broth orders, but everything else is super easy to order through the QR code on the table. I was honestly impressed with the meat quality and the overall variety. Loved being able to either grill or hot pot the meats. Tons of veggie and side options, plus appetizers. I went with the rich pork broth and it was heavenly. You get to choose your spice level (1-5). Also loved the make-your-own sauce bar with a great variety of ingredients. We suuuuure got our money's worth. Will definitely be back to feast!

    Flavorful broths and really convenient that everyone could have their own soup bowl at a booth for 4 people. Spicy broth was great and all the meats, veggies, sides were tasty. The 5 plate combination was sufficient and there was still some leftovers. The QR ordering system was confusing that we couldn't split up or label by person who was getting certain items. Server recommended to stagger one person submits items at a time but then that caused delays for some people start eating well before others. Hope this can be improved! Come during your birthday month they have a wheel of prizes you can spin. Very fun

    I really wanted to like this place because it came highly recommended by a foodie friend. Maybe i was there on an off day, but I felt like it overall it was just average. The meat was one of the better parts of the meal. The slices were thicker and looked like they were cut by hand rather than the paper thin style you usually see at other places. It may have been intentional, but it also made me wonder if the machine slicer was not working that day. The vegetables were reasonably fresh and they carried most of the basics we usually order. That said, quite a few items leaned frozen rather than fresh. The shrimp paste for example, i expected the typical fresh paste you scoop and shape into your own meatballs, but it arrived as a frozen, preformed block. The main letdown was the sauce bar. It looked neglected. The cilantro had begun to darken and wilt, and the jalapeños as well. The overall selection was surprisingly limited. Other than soy sauce and a Chinese barbecue sauce that did not look particularly fresh, there was very little to work with. There were no chilies, no hot oil, no leeks, and none of the classic aromatics that make a sauce bar fun and customizable. Even the sesame sauce tasted flat and unseasoned. Service was genuinely solid. Our waiter was friendly, patient, and walked us through how to order since it was our first visit. The QR code ordering system was straightforward and the kitchen sent items out quickly. At about $38 per person for AYCE, the price felt fair, especially since you can do both hot pot and grilling at the same table. The only drawback is the soup setup. Everyone gets their own individual pot rather than sharing a larger pot with two different broths. It is not a huge issue and is actually more hygienic if that matters to you, but it does make it harder to try multiple soup bases as a group. All in all I am looking for a new go-to hot pot place in the city as all the places I loved in the past seem to have changed owners or no longer exist. And unfortunately the search continues.

    Had a reservation for a large party of 14 and we were seated at the top floor. It wasn't busy on a Monday night so we had many workers attending to us. Service was great the entire night. Food came out quickly, and they were always available to give us refills, change grills, or anything we needed. You order what you want via QR code on your phone. There's a wheel you can spin at the front of the restaurant for your birthday, and my grandma got free A5 Wagyu! We did both the grill and hot pot. I had the medium pork broth which had a good amount of spice and flavor. They had a good selection of meats and veggies, and also appetizer selections (albeit some items were "sold out"). The hot pot meats were pretty good quality. The marinated meats for the grill had good flavor although they leaned on the salty side. Some items weren't our favorite such as the tendon which was quite gamey, but generally everything was quite fresh. Favorites included the taro chips and the you tieu (Chinese donut). There's also soda you can get which was a nice bubbly Coke. For dessert, they had orange, fruit cocktail, ice cream, grass jelly, and crème brulee. We left full and satisfied!

    Maybe closer to 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. Came here for AYCE hot pot at lunch and appreciated the fast, friendly service. I love that everyone gets their own individual pot, so you can choose your own broth and customize exactly what you want. Ordering is easy through the QR code system using your phone. We tried the wagyu house cut, center cut, and tender cut and all were good quality overall. The first round was better than the second, which may have just been a different part of the beef. We also had the lamb and pork, which were fine, though we preferred the beef. I was a little disappointed that they were out of the wagyu meatball and prawn paste, since those are more unique items, and without them the AYCE felt less worthwhile due to less variety. Did enjoy the make your own sauce bar though! Overall I think it's a decent spot to try and they do have a lot of space if you want to host a big group.

    Good customer service, broth is good, meat are fresh, it's just not a lot of variety but overall I would recommend this spot in Irving if you crave for Hot pot Everything is fresh that's a good thing for a hot pot and they have a variety of condiments Price are very reasonable also

    Fiery Hot Pot is an AYCE hot pot and/or BBQ spot with great prices, ingredients, and service. For $34/person, we got AYCE hot pot in individual pots (!!!), and there's currently a $6 soju cocktail deal that's unbeatable in the city. The ingredients were so fresh and delicious, from the fries (...lol) to the marbled beef. Our party of nine came in starving and left beyond stuffed. Also -- one of our party has dietary restrictions, and the staff brought out a detailed menu outlining which foods were okay to eat. There wasn't one thing I disliked on the menu. The wagyu meatballs were a highlight that I hadn't seen at other restaurants, and the cocktails were so impressive. We came in an hour before closing and the staff generously let us stay an hour after closing, even offering us dessert as part of the AYCE menu. Tip: You can spin a wheel for a free gift on your birthday week! We will absolutely be back (much earlier in the day next time), and this restaurant is 100% going on my list of SF bookmarks.

    Nice location south of Golden Gate Park. We called about 30 minutes ahead to see how long the wait was on a Saturday evening, and no wait when we arrived. They have 4 person tables on first level and bigger party tables on the second level. If it's your birthday within a week, there is a big wheel you can spin to get a gift. We did like the chooses of soups they had, personally the roasted tomato and tum yum were very good. The choices in meats were well marinated especially the short rib. There is a promotion of buy 1 soju drink and get 2nd 50% off. I'd give the drinks a 5/10. The sauce bar was small, not much of selection but made do with what they had, House made ponzu sauce was good. Would definitely return when in the city.

    The coconut curry broth was a hit, especially with spice levels that are adjustable (warning--mild can still pack a punch). The pork broths are flavorful, and the ingredients are fresh. I always appreciate the individual pots and DIY sauce bar. I'm not too familiar with hot pot and AYCE places in and around the bay, so this is a good one to add to the list. Ordering is easy via QR code--just make sure one person orders for the group. We went with the AYCE deal--still a good value even though we miss the old set menu with more variety. Wagyu and cumin lamb are highlights. Again, spice levels can be intense, so choose wisely! Service is generally friendly, though can slow down when it's busy. If you're a big group, call ahead--upstairs seating is limited.

    We had a nice run here. I've written a couple reviews about this place before, but just thought I should update because they've made a major change to their menu. This place used to be our go-to place for hot pot because they had a great set menu - you get to choose your broth, two meats, a handful of veggies/meatballs/etc, and rice or noodles. We recently went back, and now they've changed it so that you still get to choose your broth, you still get to choose two meats, but then you no longer get to choose anything else. So what came was a few pieces of vegetables, and a bunch of fish/shrimp balls we didn't really eat (no subs). You also don't get noodles anymore. The quality of food was still fine, but with this change I don't think we'll be dining here anymore .

    Came on Labor Day (Monday) with 2 other people at 7pm and there was no wait to get seated. Waitress was very helpful and explained the menu to us since it was our first time there. Did the AYCE hot pot and grill. There is one grill in the middles and everyone gets their own individual pot. Food came quickly and the quality of meat was superb! The meat comes in label trays so you know which one it is. Amount of meat and other food items isn't too much so you can try many different items! We ordered about 4 full rounds (10 item each) and we were so satisfied. We ordered both hot pot and BBQ items as well as vegetables and appetizers. The menu also gives recommendations on what is hotpot items and what are BBQ items. The sauce bar is not very big but it has all the sauces and fresh herbs you'll need for your meal! We all enjoyed it so much that we all agreed that we will definitely be coming back!

It honestly felt like we were ordering with a friend who just happens to know the entire menu inside and out. She gave amazing recommendations and even told us she makes the hot sauce from scratch (which... you can taste the difference). That level of care really set the tone for the whole night. Now the food... not a single miss. Seriously, not one thing we didn't like. We went with the Ultra menu ($108), which includes lobster, and it was 100% worth it. For broths, we chose the Tom Yum and Tonkotsu. Both were rich, flavorful, and perfect in completely different ways. The meat selection was incredible, especially the wagyu options, they literally melt in your mouth. You can tell the quality is top tier. The flame-torched wagyu nigiri was absolutely out of this world--perfectly balanced and paired with a wasabi powder that elevated every bite. We also had the hamachi cloud, which was so fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch--such a standout dish. And the spicy clams? Easily one of our favorites. Super fresh, super tasty, and packed with flavor. Beyond the food, the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, which made the experience even better. The location is perfect. It's right in the center of Japantown. Inside they have a bar where you can sit and talk with the servers face-to-face. And it's a great spot to people watch while you eat. I truly cannot recommend this place enough. Between the incredible quality, the variety, and the next-level service. This is a spot I'll be coming back to again and again (and yes, I'll absolutely be asking for Irene).

So we arrived shortly before 7 am and you have to put your name down on a waitlist. This list isn't exactly updated regularly and I know because it was next to me and you see the same names there and don't know if you've "moved up in the line" or not. Upon arrival, we asked how long the wait would be. They said 20 minutes. That 20 minutes turned into 40 minutes. And when we asked at the 40-min mark, how much longer, they said 3 minutes. That 3 minutes turned into 10 minutes. They have a rack full of free snacks like Hello Panda and other treats to keep you occupied while you wait (but also a means to fill you up faster). This place seems like it was poorly understaffed. It was like 3 people running the whole thing (like 1-2 waiters that also functioned at the front desk). There were no cutlery/chopsticks at our table when we were finally seated. By the time we were there, many items on the menu were sold out too. And you have to get up to help yourself to veggies and noodles from the fridge. I kinda question the hygiene of it too since they're just displayed openly and anyone with a cough or sneeze could easily contaminate it all. We had to request for napkins and needed to ask multiple times for or ordered items because they weren't arriving in a timely manner. You order on a tablet and it's all you can eat but any leftovers would be charged $15 waste fee. Supposedly there's a second and third floor of the restaurant available for seating but of course nothing was set up and no man power to handle it. I'd be more generous in my review if this was a brand new place getting its foothold but it seems to have been around for a while and should've had it's stuff together by now. Only one working bathroom in the whole place when we were there. At least the dining space and lobby were clean. Nonetheless, Not worth the hassle. Definitely won't be returning as I'm sure you can find a better place elsewhere.

Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward.

We asked for japchae about 5 times before it actually reached our table towards the end of our meal. The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle. We didnt notice that he had actually charged us for 2 and comped/subtracted a "third" one. So none were really comped at all. I just realized after we paid and that felt really sketchy. Idk if it's worth coming back here.
