Unfortunately, my most recent visit was pretty disappointing. Mikiya had been one of my favorite…read morerestaurants, but their standards have gone down. For context, I came on a relatively empty Sunday night well before closing. The milk tea dispenser was empty pretty much the entire 2 hours we were there. They also got rid of the black milk tea, so only jasmine is available now. I overheard another customer ask a worker about it, but the worker was very dismissive. The service used to be exceptional, but this time around, the workers (aside from our server, who was very friendly) were a bit standoffish and cold. I also did not receive my included sashimi dish until the very end of my meal, and I only received my water an hour after being there. The water also tasted very strange, almost fermented? (my friends' glasses were normal, so not sure what happened to mine). The bowls and cups were also not as clean as they used to be. Mikiya used to feel like an upscale dining experience, but I fear whatever changes they've been making in corporate or staffing decisions are having a negative impact. I really hope the service improves, it would be a shame to see Mikiya continue down this path!

Sometimes it makes it harder to communicate to the servers, but it doesn't take away from how good the food is. This is my favorite hot pot place to eat at because of the seafood and vegetable options. My fiancé and I really just focus on eating and feeling the atmosphere here. I also like how they sell REAL coconut juice from an actual coconut. The coconut is sweet instead of aged! Upside: most of the drinks are AYCE drinks, some are charged per drink. They announce 'last call' -- when final orders are made for each table before the restaurant closes. I believe it's a good way for customers to pace themselves before leaving near closing. Downside: I don't know if it's been fixed, but the labels at the sauce/veggie (?) table aren't completely visible, so it's hard to identify what kind of sauce is displayed. Service is also a bit delayed/flawed during busy times, so I suggest looking at the traffic. It's not horrendous or frustratingly slow/flawed, just they are busy or deliever the wrong order because of the amount of people they have to serve and keep track of.

Just tried this AYCE hot pot place in Houston, and it's my new favorite! The quality of the…read moreingredients is amazing. The ambiance and decor inside are super well done, creating a great dining atmosphere. The servers are really helpful too. They explain the ordering system, which can be a little confusing at first. The only minor downside is that the meat selection isn't huge, but honestly, everything they do offer is so good and comes out to the table quickly. Plus, I love that you can choose three different broths, and the pot is massive! Overall: Highly recommend for a delicious and fun hot pot experience!

I hate writing this review because I absolutely loved the Austin location. In fact, that's exactly…read morewhy we decided to make the drive to the Houston restaurant. The good news? The food was every bit as good. Houston also has an all-you-can-eat option, which I actually prefer. Instead of trying to predict your appetite and ordering everything at once, you can keep placing rounds throughout the meal. We took full advantage of that. The broths were just as rich and flavorful, the meats and vegetables were fresh, and everything tasted exactly how I remembered from Austin. Unfortunately... after we placed our final round of food, an uninvited dinner guest showed up. A whole ass cockroach decided it was his turn for hot pot. Not on the floor. Not scurrying across a wall. He confidently climbed onto our table and proceeded to do a full lap around the actual hot pot like he was making sure we ordered enough for everyone. At that point, dinner was over. Look... I live in Houston. I know we have roaches. But when one is comfortable enough to climb onto a customer's table in the middle of service, that's not something I can just shrug off. This one genuinely pains me because the food deserves so much better than a 3-star review. If I were rating the meal alone, it'd be an easy 5 stars. But sharing our table with a cockroach that looked like it had visited before knocked a couple stars off the experience. I really hope management gets the issue under control because I'd love a reason to come back. Until then... I'll happily make the drive to Austin.

There was plenty of parking out front, I felt welcomed when I came in, and our waitress was friendly and helpful when explaining how to do everything. We did tier 2 dinner with no seafood and it was $39.99. This is not exactly budget friendly but in my opinion if you can eat a lot it is worth it. This place is group friendly for sure. I will say more than 4 people could get chaotic with hot pot. Please note everyone will need to agree on the same tier. If you are new to hot pot don't hesitate to let the waitress know so she can walk you through the experience. We got 4 broths and various cuts of thinly sliced beef and veggies and we all were full within the allotted 90 minutes dining period. Make sure not to waste food because there is a 10$ charge if they deem you wasted an access of food. Overall this was a blast and I will be back during winter!

Staff weren't too attentive, but you don't really need them to be since you're the one managing everything, so that's good! The place is quite spacious and very clean. There is a big tv wall that was showing football as well! We ordered the split pot with the tomato broth and spicy broth as well as the chicken and marinated beef. Both broths and meats were delicious. There's a wide selection of items in the buffet line from veg to seafood and dumplings etc. there's even pre prepared food like fried rice, noodles, chicken wings, and desserts. Overall, this was a great experience and we got out for two at about $65 which is pretty fair for the amount of food I was able to put down in the time we were there. Note: There is a 90 minute limit, but I presume they won't care if there's not too many people there.

We've previously enjoyed doing the best of both worlds pairing, but since they've added Tom Yum, we now do the pot split 3 ways. The self-serve buffet always has fresh veggies and seafood choices. Our favorites include the spinach, bok choy, shrimp, clams, sweet potato, corn, and pumpkin. I think they've done away with the lobster balls which used to be my favorite, but I've since switched to dumplings which are tasty. I love the items from the hot bar- the orange chicken is yummy. The service here is always attentive and friendly. Hot Pot here always hits.

Maybe it's because it was the first hot pot place we tried when we moved down here, so it'll always have a special place in our hearts. Or maybe it's the huge selection of meats, noodles, veggies, and everything else. Maybe it's because the customer service has always been great every single time we've been there. Or the fact that somehow, even when the whole place is packed, we've never once had to wait to be seated. Or maybe it's because the staff actually keeps the food bar stocked, so you don't have to wait for what feels like an eternity. Or maybe it's the surprisingly above average ice cream for dessert. (Yes, green tea / red bean ice cream, I'm talking about you) Whatever it is, Shabu Zone just hits different for us.

Shabu Zone will always be that favorite AYCE hot pot place…read more It's truly the base of all hot pot places. Not too fancy and just right. And when I say it's viet mom approved, then it's going in the rotation. Trust, when I say we've been to plenty of AYCE hot pot places in the area, and we still come back to Shabu Zone. Even with all of the new places popping up, my mom still gets back to the car and says, "I still like the other place (shabu zone)". I've watched the workers clean any dirty spot, IMMEDIATELY. I've seen them pick up items dropped on the floor and they're always making sure the place is clean. The vegetables are fresh, the seafood is fresh, the noodles galore, the meat so thin, broth so flavorful...ice cream so smooth and no icicles...need I say more? Favorites so by far - #11 iykyk, sukiyaki broth, sweet garlic sauce, sweet corn sauce, It's not fancy, but it truly is the best bang for your buck. Clean. Friendly. Mom approved. And if you're about it, they sell Spa World tickets for a discounted rate! My friends and I bought a bundle discount and had a girls day.

Atmosphere is sterile and kind of ugly and not cozy at all. It smells like the same cleaning fluid they use in gas station bathrooms so that was definitely not a good thing. They really need to find a different cleaning fluid that is not so chemical smelling and strong because it was bad. We told our waiter this is our first time to KPOT and he really did not explain anything on the menu or how many to order so we ordered two orders of the beef on spare rib and only two pieces came to the table which was not enough for one person let alone 3. We also tried the bulgogi which was very mid. The beef ribs were decent but had too much fat on every piece so you have to order so many until you get enough beef. Meat definitely was lower quality than Seoul Garden. Pot stickers were ok. We left around 10:15pm and they close at 11 and they were already mopping the floors so they were so slippery when we were walking out which is not a smart idea. Also a girl had a huge cart clearing the table across from us while we were still eating making all this noise just tossing the plates loudly into the cart just inches from our table which was pretty rude and could have waited or done more respectfully. All in all didn't love the vibe for the price or the service.
