I'd say one of the best AYCE KBBQ and Hotpot spot in the Valley. Been here a few times and had no complaints. If you're looking for quality meats with the option of choosing both KBBQ and hotpot, this spot is a must. The price for both is totally worth it, especially for AYCE. They also have self-serve options which include the sauces, veggies, noodles, some meats, and desserts. The menu varies depending on when you arrive, lunch or dinner. I recommend eating here for dinner to get all the meat options especially the Galbi! Service is great, as we were always checked on and asked if we wanted to order more. They also have the mini robot waiters that help deliver items. There's a ton of seating inside, no outdoor seating. Finding parking isn't an issue as well. read more

Galbi (or Kalbi) is a popular Korean dish of grilled, marinated ribs, with "galbi" meaning "rib" in Korean. Imagine our surprise when we came here for lunch and galbi/kalbi was not offered on their lunch menu. What!? The AYCE lunch KBBQ option is $22 but you can add-on the AYCE hot pot part for $5 more. The whole table has to agree whichever option. And since majority of our table had holiday dinners later on in the day (we went on Christmas Eve), we only did the KBBQ part. Options were limited, as their lunch menu is obviously more abbreviated, and quality was okay. I like that they have a salad, dessert and sauce bar you can help yourself to. You order with a server and a kitty cat robot brings you your food. I'm not really big on AYCE places in general since I'm not a big eater but at $22, you really can't complain. read more

Came here for the AYCE lunch on Christmas Eve recently to catch up with some friends. But since it was Christmas Eve, most of us had dinner plans so we opted for the basic KBBQ AYCE option. It was solid but nothing special read more

This was our first visit to Galbi BBQ & Hotpot, and we had a great time! We each ordered the hotpot and Korean BBQ Combo for $35 per person, and WOW, it was well worth it!! You can order a ton of different starters like fried chicken, gozya, popcorn chicken, shrimp tempura, rice, and several other items, with four different meats of your choice each time. They also have a large selection of sides. Our server was awesome, and the little robot that brings out the meat is adorable. There are a ton of neon lights, and the whole experience is fun! Definitely check them out, but I would recommend making a reservation as they get really busy in the evenings. Oh, and they are closed on Tuesdays. read more

First time visiting and definitely enjoyed have the options for both hot pot and Korean BBQ. I do feel like they didn't have everything I usually like for my hot pot available as options. Not sure if they were out that day or just don't have them available but overall the broths were good and they had a good variety of meats. They have a little robot that comes to you with your meats which can be a little confusing if there's multiple tables' orders but otherwise had a good experience. read more

Amazing AYCE BBQ and Hotpot spot!! Absolutely love the neon lighting and fun atmosphere. Honestly have been looking for a place like this for awhile. Prices are super fair, and the selection of available meats and seafood are top tier. Service was great and I loved how the establishment was laid out. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

We only did kbbq and not the hot pot. Pros: 1.) Aesthetic is fun with all the neon signs. 2.) There were a lot of options for making your own dipping sauces. 3.). The finger short rib & beef short ribs were good & flavorful. Cons: 1.) when we 1st walked in, the place was pretty empty but you still have to "sign in" into the kiosk even though there was a lady ignoring you behind the counter then she sat us. 2.) The "self serve" cold buffet area was mainly for hot pot, very few options for banchan for kbbq. They didn't even have Japchae but there was seaweed salad & squid salad that you normally see at buffets next to the sushi bar. 3.) Our waiter was not very attentive, he came by to ask if we wanted to order again for meats but didn't even clear out the dirty dishes from the previous raw meats that was piled up on the table. 4.). Meat options were okay, I didn't care for the marinade that was on the spicy garlic pork belly, it had way too much garlic . IMO this is more for hot pot vs kbbq and the flavored meats/meat option just wasn't satisfying to me. read more

All was amazing with awesome service from Daisy. We really enjoyed and loved all the options at the buffet read more

Went to try this out with family because who doesn't want hotpot AND KBBQ all in one go? Of course, I'd suggest you go if you have a BIG appetite because you do get quite full and you have many meat options to choose from. Before I moved to AZ, we had a place that offered KBBQ, sushi and hotpot.. which was definitely a triple threat LOL so to see something similar in AZ made my heart happy. The good: The prices are great. The place is buffet-style-- you order the good cuts of meat (beef/pork) on the menu but you also have some seafood to choose from in the buffet area that you can either put into your hotpot or on the grill. The services are GREAT, staff is very attentive, the place is beautiful with plenty of seating. You get dessert options too that you would usually find in buffets but thought it was cool this place offered mochi~! The bad: The food really isn't that great, in my opinion as a lot things are bland. Compared to KBBQ places like Manna, I would prefer to get the meat from Manna than here. This is also one of the few KBBQ places that offer rice paper (which I love) but they were stale/previously frozen... or not steamed well? It definitely was not chewy and rather stiff. read more

Update : We went tonight again for my mom's birthday. I brought my 2 kids this time around. Unfortunately was very disappointed that we didn't get to stay and have dinner. They wanted to charge my 7 and 8 year olds adult price because of their height ! That's ridiculous. Just because of their height you think they can eat like an adult at 7 and 8?! My kids are not big eaters to begin with. So if you bring Kids, if they are taller than 4'8" they will be charged adult price at $30/pp!! read more

Came here twice and had completely different experiences. First time, service was amazing!! Food was delicious. Server was super attentive on a busy Friday night. We loved the variety of options where you get to select the meats you want at the buffet stations or order from the menu. We loved it so much we wanted to show others how amazing this place is. You can do either hot pot or kbbq. If you pay $5 more, you can do both. Honestly doing both was a fun variety, but it was just so much going on. I would say one would be best. Only thing is the whole table needs to do the same option. Second time, service was terrible. We waited for a very very very long time for them to even bring our soups for hot pot. We had to ask for water and napkins multiple times. They forgot our meat order a few times, not just once. The meat came out with lots of bones and not much meat and some meats were super chewy. We will probably give this place a try again for the variety of options. Clean restaurant. The booths were a bit tight though. read more

Arrived here around 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon and got a table for 6. The entire party has to be present to be seated. The place used to be CFu Restaurant. The place is big, has plenty of tables and is filled with neon lights along the wall. A 6 person table here seemed bigger than the other kbbqp/hot pot place I went to last week. Personally, I liked that we could go grab our own veggies/seafood on our own plate rather than having to order off a tablet/through a person. This way we can pile on as much as we want. The only things we order through the waiter are drinks, appetizer, and meats. They do have a big selection of marinated meats that you can grab but I didn't try any of those though. I mostly ate chuck eye roll for hot pot. I ordered the Thai tom yum (spicy level: extra spicy). For me, it wasn't spicy but the tom yum flavor here is better than the other place I went to. I brought my hot drops and added that to both my broth and dipping sauce. I also liked the beef broth flavor. Not a big miso broth person but that wasn't bad. Meat quality was okay to me but I mainly only ate 1 kind. Had a few pieces of beef belly but I don't really like that cuz it's more fatty. Kimchi here was better than the other place. Sauce bar wasn't bad but they didn't have any green onion. Thai tea wasn't bad but was a little too creamy. Our waiter was great and checked on us often. For both hot pot and kbbq, price is $35 which is a good deal for both! FYI- I'm a bit biased when it comes to many AYCE kbbq place because I prefer non-AYCE kbbq place. So, you might like it more! read more

Dare I say this might be the best KBBQ + HotPot place I've ever been to? And I've been to A LOT! There is plenty of parking in front, and it was very easy to find the restaurant. We came here as a party of 2 on a Sunday around 5 PM, and we were seated immediately. The service here was amazing! Our server approached our table as we were seated, and we were able to order our first round. At this restaurant, you can choose either KBBQ or hotpot for $30 during dinner time, or if you want both, you'll pay an extra $5/person. Everyone at the table must pay the extra $5. There are some higher quality meats that you order with your server for both KBBQ and hot pot, and the rest of the meats/toppings are all self serve. This restaurant offers pretty much anything and everything you could ever need for KBBQ and hot pot. I've never seen a restaurant that had so many options! They even have a dessert section and a cooler full of to-go ice cream that you can take home if you're too full to eat it after your meal. Everything was delicious and I didn't even have enough room in my tummy to try everything. Service was amazing also, we were checked up on multiple times throughout our dinner. With this place being open for only 1.5 months, they're doing an incredible job. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening and was seated right away. The floors are sticky, so definitely be careful walking to get your sauces and vegetables and meat. We opted to do both bbq and hotpot as it was just an additional $5. ($30 for kbbq, $35 for both kbbq and hotpot). They did have a wide selection of sauces, which i liked. However, they didn't have the typical ssamjang or brisket sauce so that was disappointing. As for the kbbq meats, the galbi and pork cheek were really tasty and i was glad to see that they didn't have a limit of the galbi as most other AYCE places have. I do not recommend the ribeye steak. It came frozen and it was not tasty. The quality of the meat isn't the best. It's way better at Jin Shabu. However, the best part of doing both bbq and hotpot is that while you're waiting for your meat to grill, you can enjoy your hotpot on the side. For the soup base, i got the Japanese miso. I was disappointed that they didn't have sukiyaki. It does get super loud inside with all the music and if it's someone's birthday, they bring a lit up sign and a group of servers will come dance and sing. It's like a nightclub in there and a bit dark. Too loud, IMO. read more

The concept of combining Korean BBQ and hot pot is ambitious--but the execution needs work. Service and ingredient availability were inconsistent, and the layout felt cramped. After two visits (one decent, one very very frustrating), this place averages out to a 2.5 / 5 for me. What we got: Both times we tried the combo of hot pot and KBBQ. You pay a $5 surcharge per person if even one person at your table wants hot pot--which feels steep, especially if others don't. What hit: * First visit: solid early dinner service, food came out reasonably, and the variety was promising. * The restaurant is relatively less smoky than other KBBQ spots, which was a plus. * Once attention finally arrived on the second visit, we had two servers rotating in regularly. What missed: * Second visit was a trainwreck. Sat for 30 minutes before anyone took our order. No water, no soup, no hotpot pot, no order. Had to grab ingredients from a buffet that was nearly empty, even during peak dinner hours. * Orders took over an hour to arrive. A manager finally intervened, but by then, it was already a frustrating experience. * Seating is uncomfortably tight for groups of 6-8--feels like a budget airline. You may slide and move the chair and completely rock a party behind you. * Trying to juggle hot pot and BBQ at once is a logistical mess. You'll either burn your meat or overboil your broth. Final take: The dual hot pot & KBBQ concept could work with stronger service, clearer communication, and better ingredient turnover. But as of now, it feels like they're understaffed and overwhelmed. I'd recommend sticking to one experience or heading elsewhere until they iron out the kinks. read more

Finally Galbi BBQ & Hotpot is open and I had to try as soon as they're open. We opted in for BBQ only, it was so cool that there were items we could order and also a lot of meat, seafood, veggies, noodles, side dishes, and dessert, we could grab from the buffet. And their interior is cool and fun, and spacious! Our server was friendly, and reception- I could tell they just opened! But I'm sure things will feel more organized. Bbq was good, I'd say good for AYCE! And I was impressed that large intestine was pretty good quality. Some Korean side dishes, but I feel like this wasn't fully "Korean" bbq, as it's missing some of the kbbq side dishes and sauce and veggies. It was still good for AYCE! read more

We recently visited this place for my son's birthday. We were seated quickly. The place itself was clean and had a really cool vibe. Our server was absolutely amazing. She was friendly and very attentive. She took the time to explain our options. She also informed us that we had access to all the items that were in a separate area. Lots of sauces and other items. The selection of meats was pretty extensive. When we ordered more I was super surprised to see a robot show up with our order super quickly. My son absolutely loved it. I had mentioned that it was my son's birthday so they came out at the end of our dinner and sang and did a little performance. Turns out it was 4 other people's birthdays so they went around the restaurant and did the same for them. I would highly recommend this place for date night, birthdays, or just to have a great dinner. read more

Pro-tips: There can be a long wait during prime dinner hours. Highlights: There is a good variety of food between the different premium meats and the buffets of raw meat and seafood. Lowlights: We had really terrible service when we dined in. The vegetable bar in particular was completely empty and there wasn't really anyone refilling it. We also had to wait so long for any food to come from our order. I personally don't like the concept of self serving and grabbing my own raw meat from the bar - it looks really unsanitary, unappetizing, and everything was the same meat just in a different marinade. read more

Visited for the first time for lunch today and was disappointed. They are aiming for a cool vibe but the service, food, and cleanliness were subpar. We only had the KBBQ because our waitress told us none of the hot pot broths were gluten free. She also said none of the sauces on the buffet were gluten free. I'm not sure if that's accurate or she wasn't 100% sure but regardless we stuck to meat and rice. The buffet didn't seem to have the typical banchan items that you find with KBBQ. One of the tongs to cook the meat was dirty and used. The tables could also use a good cleaning. It took a bit to place another order for the meat and at the end of the meal we had to wait a long time for the check, despite the restaurant not being very busy on a weekday lunch. The prices are decent but I will happily pay more for other KBBQ options in the area read more

This was good! It's fun. We didn't have a reservation. We had a party of 4. I think we waited maybe 40 min on a Saturday. Wasn't bad. We didn't KBBQ and Hot Pot. I would describe this as a very middle of the road place. It doesn't have your huge list of meats that you pick from the list is actually small and then the buffet has a number of other meat choices to pull from. The meat quality is decent. This isn't prime or wagyu. It's good. We enjoyed the ribeye and short rib. Shrimp was good too. The drinks. The beer soju drink is good. That's about it. The other drinks are kind of weird. Obviously the beer is beer. For some reason they don't have the Korean beers on the beer list? I had to ask but my Korean Beer was tasty. I'd go back! read more

Tried this place today for the first time. 2 adults, 2 young kids = $75 (30/p + $15 child 40-50inches, under 40 inch free). We were able to select a pot of broth each (each adult). We chose the beef broth. Very flavorful and seems to have been made with bone broth - very oily (but in a good way). The soup smelled like grandmas home cooking - fresh, fragrant, and wholesome). We chose only hot pot today, and I was not happy with the meat. The beef disintegrated after 15-20 seconds in the broth, tasting like freezer burned low quality beef. I avoided the meat, but was pleasantly surprised by the vast range of options at the self-serve bar. There were more options than my eyes could handle. There were also included desserts! The appetizers were unlimited and the popcorn chicken was fresh and hand breaded, not frozen. Service was friendly and kind. Ambiance was WOW. If you are looking to impress friends or family with a place to dine out, you'll want to try this place. Beware! Person in our group has a tree nut allergy, and signs ask you to advise your server/restaurant staff, but they were unhelpful and said it was best just to avoid all the desserts and the broth for the hotpot. Parents: there is no baby changing station in the restroom. I saw a lady struggling with her baby, with no baby changing table in the women's restroom. read more

Very unique experience for me. I've been to quite a few Korean bbq places, but it was my first time going to one that was buffet style. We arrived and ordered a few meats to cook, but then they told us there were more options at the buffet. It was very convenient being able to go up and get whatever meats we wanted without having to wait to order more. There was also a dessert section that was included in the price. The food quality was excellent and I enjoyed the experience. We also had a few cocktails and some Thai tea and they were all excellent as well. read more

This place was brand new when we went. We chose to get both hotpot and BBQ but I think doing both was a bit much. I liked the kalbi a lot here and the BBQ would be my go to next time. The hot pot ingredients you mostly grab on your own at the buffet line. I felt like it had limited veggies and options that paired well with hot pot. The best is the unlimited dessert. They have Luigi sherbet and blue bell ice cream. I also liked the orange slices as a refreshing treat. read more

Galbi BBQ & Hotpot - Barbeque Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I normally give a lot of grace for new restaurants - they are only a few weeks old, and I expect to see some glitches while they are working out the kinks. My husband and I are very experienced Korean BBQ diners, and we loved this concept of including a hot pot. We invited family members and had a party of 5. I made reservations. We were seated timely, and that was the first problem. These benches are made for skinny (or normal) sized persons. Our entire group are plus-size, and we literally could not get in the booth. Note- the benches are on wheels, and can move back, but not without totally squashing the poor people seated behind us. (Problem #1) Many of the items are self serve, which means we were constantly having to get up, and the poor people on the inside had to slide down the long benches to get out. It was literally exhausting (some of us have mobility issues). (Problem #2) We were introduced to Jacob (head server) who is a super-great guy, which was a problem for us because he had to handle all the problems in the area, and he would be gone quite frequently. The table behind us took 15 solid minutes of his time with a problem seating his party of 15 (they had reservations), and could not be seated together. Service was excruciatingly slow. (Problems #3 & #4). It would take anywhere from 10-20 minutes to receive the orders you placed. The appeal of an AYCE KBQ is the quick service, so this was quite inefficient - especially since they have a 2-hour time limit. We waited over 30 minutes to get a refill on our sodas. We also had the most inefficient and rude busser I've every witnessed. When he would ask to take our used plates, he would just stand there and wait for us to hand him the plate. When I was away from the table, my son had to stand up, walk around the busser, lean over the bench to pick up my plate to hand it to the busser. When we would ask the busser for anything, he would just reply "you have to tell your server - I can't help you." We were an hour in before I received a ladle for my hot pot. Wow. (Problem #5) They have a really cool robot server! It has a display so when it stops at your table, it tells you which "level" has your food. Love it. However, we saw someone at another table handle and look at all the dishes before deciding which one was theirs. Ewww. Oh, and kids deliberately standing in front of the robot to see it maneuver around them, which slows down delivery. (Problems #6 and #7) Let's talk about the HUGE buffet tables for the items to add to your hot pots and grills. One section is seafood, one is noodles and veggies, one is marinated meats, one is dessert, and one is for sauces. Which is awesome, right? Nope - It's like a roller derby - people are literally running, dodging, cutting in - you need a helmet and shin guards. (Problem #8) The A/C was definitely not the best considering all the hot pots and grills going. (Problem #9) My poor husband was roasting. Overall, I ended up with 3 stars (even though my family was chanting 1 star) - because a lot of the issues can be resolved with training. Jacob was awesome. The robot is awesome. The food was pretty good. I love the decor! I think management really needs to pay attention to people movement, seating and service. We might try this place again - but not for several weeks. I hope they make it. read more
