Hong BBQ and Hotpot was top tier! I love a good local spot! I was worried about time to go because the parking lot is pretty busy, but there is plenty of seating in this place. Which is large, seems to be able to handle large parties as well! Which is a plus! I had the combo Hot Pot and BBQ, everything on both menus were served I good portions and came out fresh. My server was alittle busy and I waited alittle bit for one of my orders but everything else came out fairly quickly! They have a good buffet of sauces and some off the menu items, everything was clean and up-kept so it was nice. I would definitely come back for another visit! read more

Came here for just the BBQ since the website describes themself as a Korean style BBQ. This review is just for that, the BBQ. The service from Adriana was excellent. She was attentive and made sure we had enough to eat. The spicy pork and spicy pork belly was good. The short rib that tried to be galbi was extremely fatty and wasn't Korean style at all. The first two grill we had were clean but the third one was still covered with burnt chars. The rice was also dry. For the money, this place was a poor value for us. If you want to eat a lot of food, then it's a good deal. But for the quality, it fell short for me. read more

Was great !!! The service the food the ambience fantastic Will come again Love it !!! read more

Solid place for AYCE BBQ and Hot Pot! Love the variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, etc that you can choose from. There's also a lot of broth choices for hot pot. Service was pretty solid, with the servers doing a good job of keeping drinks full and coming around to take reorders. Ambiance of the place is quite nice and very spacious. Price is a little more expensive than some places, but would come back next time :) read more

Hong BBQ and Hotpot - Bradenton - Variety of meats and seafood :) - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Good food with 1 exception... this restaurant charged my daughter $ 13.00 extra for her hot soup to take home. She already paid for it!! They charge you extra to take home food that you already paid for, this is not only bullshit but also ITS AGAINST THE LAW ,!! Will never return. read more

Delicious and great vibes. Never disappoints. Regular here and enjoy it every time. I would recommend this for hot pot in sarasota

Great place to eat all the food was amazing and loved the service and the place is themed pretty cool as well

I'm not a big hot pot fan but this is the spot to go if you are! Service is friendly and quick, the place is clean and has a good variety as the topping bar. The price is right and we've always enjoyed our meals here. read more

Nice atmosphere and very clean! You order the items being added to your hot pot which at first bothered me and then I realized it's to stop waste. I see people take tons of food that they don't eat and as my mother would say their eyes are bigger than their stomach. Keeps costs down. My daughter and I had the mushroom broth and we went up to the sauce bar and made our own sauces to add to our hot pot. read more

My first visit here was for my birthday. We had such a delicious time. Our server was great and the food was delicious. Even the child enjoyed his meal and he is extremely picky so that says a lot to me. He loved it so much he asked to go back and we did the following week. The place is decorated nicely and the booths have a secluded feel which I like. The three times we have visited, did I mention we returned a third time a few weeks later, we were extremely well taken care of. If my local friends were more adventurous in their food choices, we would visit more often. Only complaint, which is more of a suggestion, is when there are more than two people at a table, it would be nice to have someone pre bussing the tables more often. The two times with four of us dinning, we had too many plates on the table making it hard to set ourselves up properly to eat and not knock things over. Overall, would highly recommend. 04.01.2024 read more

Had an outstanding dinner utilizing the hot pot cuisine at this restaurant. Our waitress Chrystal did an outstanding job considering that she was new to the position and was very professional and spent time with us to explain the process as it was new to us. Highly recommend this dining experience to anyone who is interested in this type of cuisine. Planning on going back regularly to have dinner there and want to try their barbecue format as well. read more

It's the Golden Corral of Hot Pot. You can get a lot of acceptable food for a set price. Nothing will amaze you. Atmosphere is cool in spots and feels janky in others. Server gave a teen in our party the wrong broth and didn't want to swap it because he cooked in it before noticing. Been twice, both for the same kids birthday. Hope he picks something else next year. read more

Ambient is nice. Quality is acceptable. Side dish selection could use improvement. Overall good, just no memorable.

This was so good!!! I wild eat here every night if I could. Hot pot broth was very good. Bbq meats were tender and flavorful. Loved the sauce bar to make your own dipping sauce. So yummy read more

I found this place so my daughter's soccer team and their families could enjoy a fun dinner out together, while we were in town. It did not disappoint. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing. It's All You Can Eat for 2 hours. We were all stuffed when we left. It was so fun to watch the girls bond and make their own food. All of us parents also had a great time. I would definitely recommend this place. I forgot to mention there were lots of cute places to take photos inside and outside of this restaurant. read more

Today was our second visit to this restaurant. The first time, we had hot pot, and everything was great! This time, we tried the BBQ. The selection of meats was smaller than for the hot pot, but we still ordered several kinds. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed -- the lamb tasted exactly like pork. To make sure there wasn't a mix-up, we ordered another portion of cumin lamb, but it confirmed our suspicion that it wasn't lamb at all. We don't understand why this happened, and we're very disappointed. If the restaurant doesn't actually serve this type of meat, please don't mislead customers. 今天是我们光顾第二次这家店，第一次我们点的是火锅，一切都很好！今天我们尝试了bbq, 肉品比火锅少一些，我们试了好多种肉，结果非常失望，羊肉的口感和猪肉一样，为了确保服务员没有上错菜，我们另外要了一份孜然羊肉，更加确认了这吃起来并不是羊肉！不知道为什么会出现这种情况，非常失望，如果店里并没有这种肉请不要欺骗消费者。 read more

We stopped here Christmas Day after we went to see a movie. I was really a little hesitant as I had never been into anything like this. What a surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was very good and the service was fine. The decorations in ambience of the place was exceptional. It was kind of exciting to get in and get to your table. They had plenty of food options for anyone and an appetizer bar with sauces and everything you would need to make your food excellent. I would definitely come back here. read more

Very decent hotpot in the middle of the desert of authentic Asian restaurants in Sarasota area. It was quite busy on a weekend night - plan accordingly or wait for the table 15-30 min. But it was well worth the wait. I tried only hotpot but plan to come back for pigging out on Korean BBQ next time. One thing to note: everybody at the table must agree on the same set: either soup only, bbq only or both for $5 extra per person. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! They charge you by the pound for any meat you order and do not eat. I have been to multiple hot pot restaurants and have never had any of them do this. The warning about the charge is only in very fine print at the bottom of the menu. We had to eat meats we tried and did not like and fatty cuts just to prevent paying a small fortune for the leftover food. Our meal would have been twice the price we paid. Ridiculous and deceiving! Very sneaky! Then, they are rude about the policy too. Do not eat here. They do not deserve your business!! read more

We have been waiting for hot pot to make it to our area for quite some time! What a delight! We were a large party and each of us ordered differently to try more broths. The Tom yum was by far my favorite. The rice cake and fried fish tofu were also quite good. Everything was very flavorful. Try the kimchi, it's so good! Everything was very fresh from greens to meat. Service: five stars everything came out very quickly and if anything was miss it was brought promptly without question. Clean restaurant, large group friendly Really beautiful atmosphere! Not too loud. read more

Fantastic. We really enjoyed this experience and the atmosphere. We loved the option of either doing hot pot or BBQ OR both. read more

Disappointing food. Disappointing service. Many better Korean bbq places around. The short ribs were tough. The pork bulgogi was better but just ok. The usual sides non existent. read more

Y'all are not ready for this one. I was overwhelmed but sweet Linda was a guiding light! This is the perfect spot for a girls night or a date! It's not only delicious, but an experience. Not only are you playing with your food (in the classiest way), you're also immersed in an incredible work of committed interior design skill. I ordered both the hot pot and the bbq! I had a hard time picking things out so Linda recommended I get spicy beef bulgogi - it was so so yummy!! For the hot pot, I recommend you get the mushroom broth with pork dumplings and maybe the shrimp. I added chili oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, chives, bok choy and an egg and it was a gourmet masterpiece. It was so much food - it's all you can eat, but you do get charged if you leave a ton of food behind (it's by pounds which is a lot, so don't worry). We didn't get charged anything extra, but Linda recommends if you plan on coming in, fast during the day! 10/10 will be bringing my boyfriend here next read more

An unsual dining experience that I enjoyed more than I expected. Individual hot pots and a shared grill built into the table gives you a blend of Chinese hotpot and Korean-style grill. Thus, a table for 4 has 5 cooking surfaces built-in (4 indiviudal induction cooktops and a grill in the table's center). Thankfully, the induction cooking means that while your nearby hotpot generates steam heat, the table underneath won't create a burn risk. The service staff must manage an ordering process filled with chaos... but they seem to handle it quite deftly. Restaurants that delegate the cooking to customers is not my favorite business model ... but I enjoyed the food and the overall experience. I would encourage everyone to give this place a try - not all will like it, but many would likely be surprised. read more

Clean, fun, authentic environment. They allow people to connect their phone and control the jukebox which I would've thought was a horrible idea, but it was actually really fun! The menu is vast and gives you every option you could possibly want for Korean bbq or hotpot. Service was great and we started to receive our food very promptly. Couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

Absolutely the best new restaurant in town. EXCELLENT meal with outstanding service - the decor is lovely, sauce bar well stocked & clean. They have cooking time guides on the tables and the staff is second to none. We will be back as often as possible. Exactly what Bradenton needed!! read more

We have been looking forward to trying this place for months, since a friend recommended it. I lived in Japan and visited Korea so I love anything resembling Yakiniku and Bulgogi. The greeting was so welcoming, the server was so informative, complementary (she told me I have great hair, even in this humidity) and never left us waiting for drinks or hot pot/BBQ refills. Plenty of meat options (NY Strip, pork belly, bulgogi, tongue, pork, prime brisket, scallops, calamari, shrimp). Great Soju selection and we left feeling full but not sick from too much salt. The decor was very cool, clean and a manager even came by to check on us twice. I wish I had gotten names and pictures, but we were too excited to be eating out to take notes. Affordable, great service AND great , quality meals?? Finally. read more

Ordered the all you can eat Korean Bbq, meat looked suspicious, we cooked it and when I went to try it- IT WAS FOUL, automatic ejection. Called over our server, she had to get the MGR. We let her know something was wrong with the meat and she said she would discount it- she came back with $6 off a $60 tab. We ate one bite, and it was nasty AF, worst service and food. Avoid this place, Charlie's or Kore are both bomb- THIS PLACE IS TRASH, will be disputing the charge! read more

Great service.. our waitress was very nice. She was constantly asking about our food. The owner even came over and talk to us. Small portion food but they were fresh.

We had a fabulous dinner for our daughters birthday. Randy was an awesome waiter! He took care of us from start to finish. He was helpful, knowledgeable and made sure we understood everything as newbies to the Hot Pot world. We will definitely return! read more

Food is OK. I only go here due to the convenience, but I like the one in Brandon better. The owner walks around to keep an eye on the place, but she definitely will hover over your table if you have been there for too long and she wants you to go. The waiters are friendly though. The clams are very small and have no taste. read more
