Hot Pot & BBQ lovers... listen up…read more Every time we visit this area we go for some of this goodness, and this last trip was not an exception. It was, however, our first time visiting Lameizi. Thankfully, it did not disappoint and we were all happy with our choices. Prices are about the same as other places we've tried. We all got the BBQ option, but not all of us did the Hot Pot. I can't recall if it's the same in the other places (it could be that normally everyone at the Table must choose the same style of cooking). All items were fresh and plenty of variety. The place was spacious and clean. Service was wonderful, they were very attentive. Plenty of parking.

Lots of tables + it's buffet-style, with signage to indicate whether it's for hot pot, bbq, or both. Pretty standard food selection, with a few unique offers like crawfish, fried chicken, sushi, miso soup + others I recommend (see below). Disappointing they didn't have regular eggs, only quail. Dessert options included ice cream, cakes, fruits, + sweet Chinese soupy desserts. Other notes: - individual hot pots, communal bbq - fresh ingredients - self-serve stations with gloves, napkins, claw crackers, + utensils - Drinks are slightly more expensive than other places - Self-cook BBQ, however, staff will help if you ask Would Recommend: - Shrimp paste - Crab legs - Teriyaki chicken - fried rice - spring rolls - peeled seasoned shrimp

The food here is so good came here for dinner and I stg it's like even the rutabagas are like crack (jk jk). Hospitable service, too. It was recommended that I should also pull up to try the breakfast in the future and I know I will lol. I loved their brown gravy poured over their mash as well as the loaded potato soup, mac & cheese, and salmon. Also be sure to try their sweet tea

Food smashed into the dirty carpet, menus smeared with grease, slimy handprints on every glass and plastic surface. Is the place cleaned by toddlers?! If the missed health standards aren't enough to deter people (wish I'd read those beforehand), the layers of grime should be a red flag. If that's what customers are seeing, imagine the kitchen. Also, the food was bad. Like everything. Grisly gnarled chicken, inedible, dry cornbread, and nasty mac and cheese. I didn't try anything else because it was so gross. My family members also hated their food. Staff waited until the last minute to refill things as it seemed like someone is opting to cut some sharp corners. Again, I felt bad for everyone working there. It seemed busy enough to turn a profit, yet there was something depressing about the vibe. I came here last year with my dad, and it wasn't like this, so it was disappointing. We were relieved to get out for under $100, but it was just nightmare fuel. Not worth it. Owners need to be more involved in operations here.

I've been seeing Umi in Brandon all over my social media, mostly advertised as a hot pot and since…read moreI'm really into that, I wanted to check it out. We came to celebrate my friend's birthday. They don't take reservations, and we walked in with a party of five. Right away I noticed none of the tables had hot pot or KBBQ setups, which confused me. Turns out this isn't traditional hot pot. You order it and it comes out already prepared in a bowl with a small gel burner underneath (bright purple/fuchsia fuel). They use way too much fuel, and the flames come out the sides. The bowls are visibly burnt, and at our table a napkin caught fire because it was too close to the flame -- not exactly comforting. This is also a buffet, which I personally don't love. There are a lot of options, but most of the food was either too salty, too bland, or after a while everything started tasting the same. Another thing that stood out was our server's attitude. It was a little too much for my liking and made it feel uncomfortable to ask for anything. I hate when service comes off that way -- especially when your job is to serve and help the table. On the plus side, the place is new, clean, and reasonably priced. If you're with friends, really hungry, and just want a quick, casual spot, it works. Just don't come in expecting a real hot pot or Korean BBQ experience, because that's not what this is.

Dinner was $23 per adult for AYCE, not bad considering both the variety and the quality of the food. The place was very busy when we arrived, but we were seated quickly. There was a large selection of fresh hot entrees, fried appetizers, sushi, seafood, desserts. Had two plates of sushi and sashimi that satisfied my sushi craving! I noticed the restaurant seemed a little understaffed. It felt like the same hardworking server was constantly moving throughout the dining room, clearing plates, cleaning spills, wiping tables, and helping guests. She remained friendly despite being stretched thin. Overall, this is one of the better buffet experiences I've had recently. Tasty food, good variety, reasonable pricing, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'd absolutely recommend it, especially for families or larger groups looking for something that has a little bit of everything.

After being loyal customers for years, tonight's experience was by far the most disappointing we've…read moreever had at this restaurant. I ordered the Signature Cut Special while my husband ordered from the regular menu. When the bill arrived, I politely pointed out that I had been charged incorrectly. Instead of simply checking the order, our server, Talis, told me that other meat carvers had supposedly seen me eating the regular menu item and implied that I was being dishonest. I was shocked. Being publicly accused of lying over a dinner order is completely unacceptable. I repeatedly explained that I had ordered the Signature Cut Special, yet the argument continued until I firmly stood my ground. Only then did he back off. We brought the situation to management's attention. While Manager Paulo has always been professional, courteous, and customer-focused, our interaction with Manager Michael left much to be desired. Rather than immediately addressing the seriousness of a customer being falsely accused, the situation was handled in a way that felt dismissive and unprofessional. The issue was never about the money. It was about respect. Long-time customers should not be treated as though they are trying to deceive staff over a menu item. What should have been an enjoyable evening turned into an embarrassing and frustrating experience. Sadly, this was one of the worst customer service experiences we've had here, and it has made us seriously reconsider this establishment.

I really enjoyed the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and sweet rolls. I also grabbed dessert and went with the banana pudding, which I loved, though there were plenty of other options that all looked delicious. I was a bit disappointed with the cornbread. Service was great. Even though the restaurant was super busy, we didn't have to wait long for a table, and the parking lot was packed but still manageable. Overall, a great stop after a busy day out.
