    We tried quite the spread here! This restaurant is pretty big (I only think so coming from the city) and we were really quickly seated on a weekend during lunchtime. The staff were super friendly and constantly checked in with us, switching the grill and cleaning out plates. We did both bbq and hotpot, and it was amazing. First of all, their sauce bar is definitely the best I've seen! They have all the sauces and some premade ones, any combination is sure to be delicious! I also ate lots of their crab legs, which were decently sized and sooo yummy. The bbq meat was pretty good, but my favorite was definitely the marinated short ribs. I tried tomyum as my hotpot base and I loved it. I had a really good experience here and highly recommend to others!

    I loved it. I am southern tho and I miss seafood boils. If you don't like food in a plastic bag there are various options. You can do a Korean bbq or the hot Pot options where they bring a ton of food to the table and you cook it in a pot or on a grill. The service was great. Fast easy. The ambience is very 'bar in a hotel' on one side and family / group restaurant on the other. The bathroom is shared with the hotel lobby, walk past the bar and down the hall.

    Soooo good. The flavor was out of this world. For as messy as the eating can get I was very impressed at how clean everything was. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. If you love seafood...you have to come to hungry pot.

    Hot Pot Again after stoping by floor and decor on federal rd. Nice and easy parking , Good broth and nice selection of condiments including sides.

    Octopus  - so good !!

    It was very busy there, but nevertheless their service was very good. You can get food from a self service buffet and decide between Chinese hotpot and Korean bbq. We picked Korean bbq. The food Was delicious, you can't miss their octopus!! Also They changed the pan (it's all you can eat and we were quite hungry). Great experience and I'll be there again !!

    FAKE SPAM

    So I was initially very excited to hear a Korean BBQ / Hot pot place finally located in CT. I grew up in Northern NJ and was used to some great Korean Restaurants and BBQ. Let me tell you this is not it. I guess if you never had great Korean BBQ or hot pot you can be tricked into thinking this is great. But it's not. Let me break it down. The ordering system just sucks. In NJ, the shabu shabu places only take order for your drinks and the meats/fish. Everything else is self serve. You get to pick your own vegetables, noodles, fish cake, side dishes, dessert, sauces....the sky is the limit. But here you have to order it through the servers. It's a major hassle. The 4 of us decided to do the hot pot. We picked the Hungry Pot soup base...I'm not really sure what that was. It looked like old paint water. The meat for the hot pot was okay. But they cut it way too thin... it's supposed to be a specific thickness. The meat portions are also very small. And when you want more you have to track down the server to get more meat. Although the quality of the meat was okay I found the overall quality of the sides to be way below par. The shrimp dumplings were terrible and this takes the cake. FAKE SPAM. Come on man. In what world do you serve fake spam. I grew up eating spam. I love spam. But fake Spam? No freaking thank you. It's the first time saying this... but whatever was served doesn't do Spam justice. If you want to see hot pot done right, go to Garden Shabu in Little Ferry NI. And for BBQ goto Seoul BBQ in New Britain. Hungry pot was just overall an absolute disappointment. With that being said everyone around us seemed to be having a good time and enjoying themselves....but personally. I'd rather have KFC with cold beer from the package store than be served fake spam.

    I have to start off by saying Xavier our server was Amazing. So patient he had to explain the process to us twice and we had many question. Every person from the hostess to bus boys were very service minded. Hungry Pot is the new sensation in Danbury CT that opened Monday May 12th. Hungry Pot is all You can eat, with three choices for cuisines - Cajun Seafood Boil, Korean BBQ, and Hot Pot. Ask your server but I believe there is a time limit for ordering. My husband and I did both the Korean BBQ and Hotpot. Each person at the table chooses their options for each food type. Each option has - beef, chicken, pork, seafood protein choice, vegetable choices, then noodles, rice, and dumpling choices. You do have the option to choose one item from every category. All the items are brought to your table raw or frozen for You to include in your hotpot or grill on the BBQ. The Hot pot is a soup based meal. There are five or six choices for your soup base. The soup is brought out in a pot and put on the small burner show in my pics.Then You choose options to add to the soup base. While your waiting for your food to cook to arrive off to the side their is a help yourself area for all types of sauces, herbs, and spices. In the same area as the sauces there are spring rolls and crispy chicken to eat almost as an appetizer. What kept Hungry Pot from being five stars? The sauces were out in a bar with ladles. Then a small sign was on top of the bar with a diagram of the sauce names. When You have people waiting behind You its hard to really look at the signs. Also many many people are touching those ladles and they are not constantly being changed. I think a series of squeeze bottles with waterproof labels maybe quicker and less of a germ factor. I have a few suggestions for others that I did not know being a 1st timer. When the staff comes around and asks if you want the plate on the grill changed? After You have grilled a few things have them change it. My husband kept saying No and I feel like it affected the food taste. My next suggestion find out if You are able to use the sauces on the grill? Or if the sauces are just for dipping? I felt like we put our server through so many questions I could not ask him another thing. Several birthdays were going on while we dined. Hungry Pot has a big light up sign and a happy birthday song is played over the P.A. system. Fun yet annoying after three of them.

    Service is super fast even on a Friday night. Food is well prepared. Selection is good for the price. Sauce section is a bit weak.

I…read morenever jump to that conclusion lightly -- and honestly, I tried to talk myself out of what I was seeing in real time. But after replaying the situation, I couldn't unsee it. My date and I had an 8:00 PM Valentine's Day reservation and arrived on time. We checked in with the hostess and were told our table would be ready "in a moment," which was totally fine. We stood and waited patiently. Shortly after, a white couple walked in behind us and told the hostess they technically had an 8:15 PM reservation but were told to come at 8:00. They were seated immediately. We looked at each other but didn't say anything -- we figured maybe they had something ready and ours was being turned over. Then another white couple came in with an 8:00 PM reservation and was also seated right away. At this point, we were still standing there. No update. No explanation. No reassurance. All three parties were groups of two. There was no difference in party size, and we were on time for our reservation. Being skipped once might be a mistake. Being skipped twice, with no communication at all, felt intentional and uncomfortable. We were left standing there feeling confused and honestly unwelcome. If there was a legitimate reason for the delay, it was never communicated to us. No "your table is being cleared," no "we're just running behind," nothing. Just silence while other couples were seated in front of us. What was the difference between their table and ours that we were moved to the side to stand and wait? Everyone was a party of 2. We arrived on time and were the first ones in the door.. I truly didn't want to believe what this looked like, but it became impossible to ignore. We ended up leaving because the situation made us feel disrespected and unwanted as customers. Valentine's Day is obviously a busy night, but fairness and basic communication are non-negotiable. I would not recommend this place, and I especially would not recommend it to people of color based on how we were treated.

David, our friendly, knowledgeable host and waiter, made suggestions and we each ordered a salad and the Rigatoni Bolognese.

The bolognese was absolutely delicious and as good as any bolognese offered at an Italian eatery in Boston's North End.

Nice selection of drinks. Waitress was very nice and patient. Gave us lots of time to decide. She brought some bread with oil which was good. We started with fried calamari. Delicious! Next time I would ask for lemon. I ordered the chicken franchise and my husband chose the chicken Milanese. We each enjoyed our entrees. We couldn't finish so brought home the leftovers. We arrived around 6pm, to a fairly empty dining room. When we left, the room had filled out more. Can easily see this place be hopping on the weekend. Waitress was really nice! Recommend Bottega to everyone. We will definitely be back.

    I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!!…read more We found this out-of-the-way restaurant by a search in Yelp because we were not familiar with the area we were in. We were blown away by the cleanliness of the restaurant (including the bathroom), the service, and the food. My wife ordered chicken parmigiana and I had a special, eggplant parmigiana on meat ravioli. Both of our meals were delicious, and we have very discerning tastes for restaurant food. I paired my meal with a delicious glass of Chianti. For dessert, I had espresso and my wife had a cappuccino. Both were well done.

Let's start with what they do right. The place has that classic Italian restaurant feel cozy, welcoming, and clearly built for family-style dining. You can tell right away why people like it. Service tends to be friendly, portions are solid, and it checks that "comfort food" box. But The BEAST isn't here for vibes alone... helpful definitely, but we're here for the food. And this is where things level out. The dishes especially staples like chicken parm come out looking the part, but flavor-wise? It's a little one-dimensional. The sauce leans heavy and slightly flat, lacking that bright, fresh tomato punch you want in a strong Italian kitchen. It fills you up, sure but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. There's also a bit of that "quantity over precision" feel. Big portions are great, but when you're sitting at a 4.7-star reputation, expectations jump and this doesn't quite match that level of execution.
