    Love this place. Service is always very friendly. I'm vegetarian, and they explain the soups very well. They're all available veggie except the pork! Great family or date night atmosphere. I love the buffet style desserts.

    Step one:  choose your broth!
    Meredith R.

    One can jump right in when trying a new cuisine. I however prefer the guidance of someone who can teach me a thing or two, as I expand my scope of Asian restaurants. Years ago in NY, a boyfriend from Kashmir turned me on to Indian food. My initial experience with pho was with another guy I dated who lived in Vietnam. And now, I thank Yelp friends Gerald S and Martin N for helping me with my first go at hot pot! What a fun outing with Martin and his lovely wife May, and my Yelp friends Judy and Dave. For newbies like me: choose your broth -- in this restaurant it's one-to-a-customer -- set the temperature control to keep the soup hot, go to the buffet table and select what you'd like to cook in your pot or on the grill. (Most people pay the extra $4 to enjoy both soup and bbq -- $35.99 total.) With no point of comparison, I was pleased with "Hot Pot & BBQ." I took Gerald's advice and ordered a mild broth -- the "original" -- which I doctored up. There are so many things to try: all different fish, slices of beef, chicken, lamb, pork ... the list goes on. (Since my hands were full I neglected to take photos!) There's a wide range of sauce but no condiment containers to separate one from another, leading to a potentially muddled combination. The conveyer belt abutting the tables is interesting. Looks like a stationary surface but hidden mechanisms move ramekins of vegetables, noodles and other accoutrements throughout the dining room. The restaurant is large and Saturday evening, busy. Reservations not accepted, but that shouldn't stop you. If you have to wait, it likely won't be long since there's frequent turnover. And don't worry. Nobody will rush you through your meal.

    Table set up!

    I've lived down the street for 3 years and have always wanted to go here but never made it....until last night! The food is incredible and so affordable. Mavis our server was awesome, attentive, sweet, and took the time to explain the process! The conveyor belt of veggies and noodles is maybe the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! You just grab what you want. The meat and seafood is self serve. I also really enjoyed the sauce station. They have some recipes on the wall as suggestions if you like a peanut sauce you can combine a few things to make that. I can't wait to go back again. I've been dreaming of that bulgogi beef all day.

    All the delicious meat
    Bianca S.

    My boyfriend and I were between here and Embers. We made the right choice. The waitress, Ms. Mavis was the highlight of our experience. She explain and showed us how to get our food and make it. She was on it too service wise. She's so friendly. When I come back I'm requesting her. This place is a 4.5/5 The food was tasty as hell. I've gone to Korean BBQ before but this one takes the hat. I wish they had more broth choices like Miso and that the bowls were bigger. I wish some of the meat was seasoned a bit more, like the steak, but the bulgogi was delicious. Chicken was stellar. Sprinkles for the ice cream would be amazing but that's my boyfriend being picky LOL. Can't wait to come back!

    Shrimp, crab, crawfish, octopus

    We visiting friends in Fort Myers and we're from out of town. We like hot pot, and our friends took us here, all you can eat, hotpot alone is expensive but you add $4 more you get combine Korean bbq with hotpot... all you can eat. Plenty of meats, seafood, dumplings for hotpot and Korean bbq. They offer other dishes of veggies too. Includes variety of deserts, cakes, pudding, ice cream, jello. They don't rush you out, we sat and ate there for at least 2 hrs. Highly recommend if you like soup & bbq

    Ask the Community - Hot Pot & BBQ

    Does someone cook it for you? Or do you cook it yourself?

    I would say 90% of people cook themselves as it's very easy but if you really have difficulties, the staff and owners are nice enough to do it for you. Overall it's more a self-service buffet place.

    Is there seating for larger parties? Like 8-10?

    I think you could fit 8 people on the large booths but most likely 6 seems more reasonable.

    Are you able to make reservations or is it first come first serve?

    Sorry, we don't take reservations right now, it's first come first served. Thanks

    Where's the menu?

    It's all you can eat, anything on the buffet bar and on the conveyor belt. We don't have any menu. Thanks

    Do they have lamb?

    Yes,we do

    Is ther a way to order for a person that has celiac?

    It's more of a self-service. If you take the herbal hot pot and choose your own ingredients you can totally enjoy it having celiac. Avoid sauces, desserts, ice cream, processed food, egg. Basically what you are not tolerating. Stick to sea food and… 

    Can a group of 3 just order a hot pot and 2 barbecues and share or does everyone have to get something?

    On the same table, you can order all hot pot or all bbq or both, can not mix both. This is our policy. Thanks

    Do they have a gluten free menu?

We also had the chicken and shrimp fried rice which is a favorite of ours. Sue told us she was born using chopsticks! David and I still struggle with them lol! Everything was delicious and piping hot. The Pho had the herbs, lime and jalapeño on the side. The fried rice had broth. David couldn't resist the chili sauce and then couldn't stop coughing! He does this every time and maybe he should just add a few drops instead of a teaspoon. We enjoyed everything we ate and the flavors were amazing! We love the up beat atmosphere and it just perks you up on a cold and rainy night.

    Great Korean BBQ experience with attentive service…read more Had Korean BBQ at Ember Korean Steakhouse in Fort Myers and really enjoyed the experience. The meats were flavorful, and high quality, with a good variety of options to choose from. Everything was cooked perfectly, and I especially appreciated that the staff handled the grilling for us. It made the meal much more relaxing and allowed us to focus on enjoying the food and conversation rather than managing the grill. The banchan complemented the meal nicely, and the overall quality of the food felt consistent throughout the experience. The meats were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Service was a standout. The staff were attentive, friendly, and regularly checked on the table while expertly grilling the meats to the right doneness. The vibe is modern, upscale, and welcoming, making it a great spot for date nights, family dinners, or special occasions. The restaurant feels polished while still maintaining the fun and social atmosphere that makes Korean BBQ so enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic Korean BBQ experience with excellent service and quality meats. Having the staff grill everything for us really elevated the meal, and I'd definitely return when visiting Fort Myers.
