    Korean bbq meat options
    Megan T.

    Hot pot nights just hit different We went in knowing we wanted both hot pot and Korean BBQ, and it was 100% the right move. Tons of broth options, high-quality meats, and so many fresh veggies to throw into the pot -- everything felt super customizable and fun. For a small extra fee, you can upgrade to the grand barbecue or do both, which I highly recommend because switching between hot pot and grilling at the table makes the whole meal feel like an experience. The key ambience was lively and upbeat, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to!

    Great option for AYCE hot pot / Korean BBQ in the Pittsburgh area. It's $32 pp if you go with just hot pot or just KBBQ, or you can pay $6 more to do both. Hot pot is served individually so each person can choose their own soup base. Service was super quick and the quality of the ingredients were generally good. Overall I think it was good value for what we paid.

    Pretty good ayce Korean bbq spot. Really massive space inside, and lots of parking out front. We were seated immediately. Our waiter was friendly. They have a bunch of different sauces in the center and "recipes" to build your own mixture. It's fun and goes into the whole theme of the place given that you cook your own meat, but it also would be nice if they could just have some of them pre-made and pre-mixed. They also have some fruit and desserts there, and some veggies like edamame and seaweed salad. We got the ayce bbq, not the hot pot. Every time we ordered something, it came out relatively quickly. Our favorites were the bulgogi, the spicy beef bulgogi, the garlic shrimp, and the short rib. We didn't like the steak with house sauce or the cumin beef. We liked the enoki mushrooms too, not the oyster mushrooms, those were tough and took forever to cook. All in all, it was decent, some dishes were better than others, but pretty sure we both got food poisoning from it :/

    We came for lunch on the weekend and really enjoyed our experience here. Our server was friendly and helpful. We did the Korean BBQ option. Our food came within minutes of us placing the order each time. They have a good variety of meat/seafood/veggies. I enjoyed the beef bulgogi and shrimps. I can't imagine getting both hot pot and Korean BBQ. We left with full tummies. I would appreciate if they had an à la cart option instead of all you can eat. Nevertheless, I can see myself coming back for more after that full stomach digests a bit.

    We ordered Korean barbecue for lunch. You can only order the same as a group for the same table. (either barbecue or hotpot or both together) The server was very responsive to come for new orders and change our plates. I loved the spicy calamari and Salmon. I haven't had Korean barbecue for many years and I'm very happy with this meal.

    I'd been trying to check this place out for a while, but the wait times have been long. My date and I stopped in on a Monday evening around 7 pm. We had to wait for about 5 minutes and we were able to be seated. Our waiter was great. He explained how the process worked in great detail and took our drink orders. We opted for both hot pot and bbq. We tried a lot of items. We also were able to choose our own soup base and then also make our own sauces from the sauce bar. Everything was delicious! The staff also cleaned our grill and added more broth to our soup as we dined. Everything was delicious and the service was great! I can't wait to go back.

    Hong BBQ & Hot Pot is such a fun experience. Make sure that you have a reservation because the place is busy from open to close. We waited over an hour because we didn't have a reservation, but it was worth the wait! Our waiter was super friendly and helpful in making decisions. It's a little overwhelming at first because there's so many options! We went with the BBQ AND hot pot so that we could try everything! Our favorite was the bulgogi! We also loved the sauce buffet, where you could try different sauces and mix your own! Our waiter also suggested the Peach Yaikurt for a drink and it was so good! This place is a meal and experience all in one! It's a little pricey, but you do get your money's worth! What a fun experience!

    Big table with food

    This was a fun spot for a group night out. We had 7 people in our party and called ahead. We were immediately seated when we arrived. The waitress was great and our food arrived really quickly. It is $31.99 for all you can eat in 2 hours for the Hot Pot. The space is HUGE. They also have a make your own sauce bar. For food you order a base for your pot and then your pick of meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles/rice. There is a cake and little ice cream cup option at the sauce bar. They also had a variety of boba teas. They had a basic menu of domestic beers. They did carry Sapporo- a Japanese beer-which is great. As far as the food goes, I think it was fine. The overall experience was really fun, but for me, I'm not a fan of the DIY restaurant model. I didn't think the meats were prepared in any special way that made them stand out.

    Variety of hot pot options
    Annie L.

    This is such a great addition to McKnight Road. We love a good hot pot, but this is definitely the best we've been to. Hot pot and/or BBQ are offered, but everyone at the table needs to get the same one or both. It's all you can eat in a two hour time limit. Our group decided to go strictly hot pot this visit. There are about 8 different broths to choose from and a wide variety of proteins, veggies, and carbs to create your own masterpiece. We absolutely loved that the sauce bar had suggestions on what to mix together to make the perfect sauce. Our server was extremely pleasant, helpful, and checked on us often through the experience. We definitely enjoyed it and will be back!

    So glad a ACYE hotpot and Korean BBQ place is in Pittsburgh now! This place is slightly north of Pittsburgh proper but easy to drive to. Everyone at your table either chooses to do Korean BBQ or Hotpot and there are SO many choices I had trouble choosing between my dishes! I enjoyed all the broths my table ordered and the sauce bar has many combinations to choose from. Sliced meats were good and great cuts, along with very fresh vegetables and classic Chinese hotpot tofu's and other sides as well. I was extremely happy with the options. Boba and alcoholic drinks are also available for purchase. Very spacious, clean, and very efficient. Our server was very attentive to when we wanted to order more dishes and this experience makes it more convenient than making hotpot at home! Highly recommend this place and good for large groups as well. Making a reservation ensures faster seating but the wait isn't bad either during non peak times.

    Dipping sauce
    David B.

    You have your choice of either Hot Pot or adding Korean BBQ, and we did both. First we ordered our broth, then all the ingredients we wanted to add to our Hot Pot. After that we made our own dipping sauce, which was fun Both the Hot Pot and the BBQ were delicious, all using quality ingredients. Our server was very attentive and refilled our drinks and also switched in a clean grill twice. We had an enjoyable evening and loved the food.

    Although the wait on Valentine's day was around 2 hours, I still enjoyed the experience a lot! First time there and everything seemed fresh and it was a fun thing to do. The prices aren't the worst either for what you get. The waitress was really nice and explained how everything worked :)

    Hot pot

    A group of seven of us went here yesterday night for dinner. They put us in one of the private rooms because we made a reservation for eight people (someone ended up not being able to come) and it was lovely having that private space. The room can fit way more than eight people. I really like the sauce bar and the huge variety of items you can get to cook. We went with just hot pot items this time instead of both hot pot and kbbq which worked out perfect because doing both was pretty overwhelming last time.!

    When I first got here, I went to the bathroom and it was pretty dirty. It smelled like bleach too,…read moreand the supply closet was open with a bunch of stuff sitting there. After seeing how icky the bathroom was, I was nervous to eat there & only decided to stay for a meal because my friend really wanted me to try their food. Honestly, I am SO glad I stayed and I really can't wait to go back again! The restaurant itself is super cute and has a beautiful mural outside of the building, which I snapped a pic of. I loved the tables inside and the wallpaper. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and ate it so quickly that I didn't even get a photo, hahaha! It was sooo delicious! That was definitely a comfort food choice, since I was trying lamb for the first time. And how was the lamb you might ask? Absolutely insane. Steak has been my favorite food for a long time, but I'm pretty positive that lamb has taken its place! Gosh it was delicious and they seasoned it SO wonderfully! It melted in my mouth and was so naturally buttery from the fat. It's certainly a new guilty pleasure of mine. I also tried the Sichuan chicken, which was pretty dang good! I really enjoyed the spice level and the taste of the dish! I was totally caught off guard by it being served cold (intentionally), yet I really liked it! Water and cups were given to us upon seating, and we ordered digitally via a QR code. The food came out probably 15 minutes after that, which was awesome! The girl who brought us the food seemed pretty sweet too. Dining here was more than just getting food. It was a whole different kind of experience for me, and it felt as if I was able to experience a few authentic cultural things, which I am very grateful for! I will definitely be back again and with friends! Although my first impression wasn't the best, I can acknowledge one thing clearly--dirty bathroom but AMAZING food!

These days, it feels like one of the few survivors in what has become Pittsburgh's version of a post-apocalyptic shopping district. We took advantage of the July 4-course special for $40 per person, and honestly, it was a solid deal. The Classic Cheese Fondue was exactly what you want...hot, bubbly, gooey perfection. It's pretty hard to mess up a pot of molten cheese, but when it's done right, there's no reason to overthink it. The house salad was fresh and tasty, doing its best to convince us we were making healthy choices before diving headfirst into cheese and chocolate. For the entrée, we chose the Mojo cooking broth, which was loaded with garlicky, citrusy goodness. Everything cooked up flavorful, and it made the whole experience even better. Dessert? We stuck with the classic Dark Chocolate Fondue because some traditions exist for a reason. Rich, smooth, and the perfect ending to a meal where you're basically encouraged to dip everything into something delicious. The only real downside had nothing to do with the restaurant. The RiverHounds had a game that night, so parking was a lovely flat-rate $20. Nothing says "Thanks for coming!" like paying half the price of your meal just to leave your car somewhere. Overall, great food, great service. Just check the RiverHounds schedule before you go--unless overpaying for parking is part of your dining experience.
