This place is huge and gorgeous - and I've never had so much fun! Never had hot pot before and the staff were lovely in explaining how things work. There are about 8 kinds of soup with various spice levels, so everyone in our group of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids) found their sweet spot. There were so many kinds of tasty meat to cook in the soup, and also pre-prepped stuff like fish balls and wontons if you aren't fussy for cooking your own meat. And sooooo many veggies and salads and sauces and spring rolls and, and, and!!! What a hidden gem!!! GO!!! Stop reading this review and GO!!! read more

I visited for dinner with my boyfriend after seeing all the great reviews on Yelp and I'm glad we chose this place! They have a hot pot side and a barbecue side and we chose all you can eat hot pot. They have lots of cuts of meat to choose from, plus fresh vegetable and noodle stations that are self-serve. We went with a dual pot of beef broth with spicy Mongolian seasoning and veg broth with Spicy Tom Yum. Both were great, but I especially liked the spicy Mongolian. We ordered quite a bit of meat (some beef tendon, sliced beef, sliced pork, salmon, and pork and shrimp dumplings) and it was all fresh and delicious. Veg included bok choy, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, and lots more, plus plenty of noodle varieties. They have a great selection here and there's surely something for everyone. We had a great dinner here. Everything was tasty and the service was friendly. We'd definitely visit again the next time we are in the area! read more

Was really surprised to see how many 5 star reviews this has, but now looking through they're all from 2-5 years ago. Place has clearly gone down hill. Ate there for the first & only time today for lunch, after hearing good things about it. We arrived at opening & somehow all of the sauces were almost empty and the hot bar wasn't full which makes me think they were reusing food from the night before. Restaurant remained empty our entire lunch besides one other table who came in just as we were finishing up. The meats for the BBQ were all marinated the same and not super tasty, the chicken had a gross taste that we couldn't pinpoint so we did not eat it. The service was terrible, the girl who was waiting on us nearly spilled boiling hot water all over me and then spilled all of our raw meat juices on the floor. Had to constantly wait for them to come out of the back to be able to ask for something (restaurant was empty yet servers were nowhere to be found most of the time) and then they tried to charge us extra for the chicken we told them we didn't like. The man clearly stated that because the chicken wasn't still cold he couldn't reuse it... so they'll take food back to the kitchen from your table to reuse for another guest if it's still cold?? Sounds like a health code violation. Not at all impressed and will not be back read more

$38 per person is outrageous for what you get. We received virtually no instructions. The quality of the vegetables and prepared food were not great. I have been to fast food places that are better. I ordered a spicy broth at a spiciness of 1 and couldn't eat any of the food that was cooked in it. It was insanely hot. And I eat hot wings, Mexican food, Thai food, and Indian food without issue. When I brought it to the sever's attention, she just shrugged. They don't accept Amex. I'm sure I know why. Our bill was $150 for 2 adults and 2 kids plus tip. I feel duped by the other reviews and am sorry I ever even used Yelp to find dinner tonight. read more

Lang Restaurant - Spicy, level 1 was inedible hot. My gums are still burning. - Hot Pot Near Me - St. Catharines, Ontario

The dining area was well light and clean. The veggies and noodles area was clean and kept cold. The hot food buffet had limited choices but was decent and were clean for food safety. There was no loud tvs blaring out in the restaurant nor was there any music playing. So it was just a very simple decor and atmosphere was just the sounds of servers, food trays, robot bringing you your kitchen meats and customers talking. There were several choices of sauces you can put in a bowl for your meal. It was in a little table on its' own. Very good. The front half of the restaurant is for those who want to have the AYCE bbq. The back half is for those who want to have the AYCE hot pot. There was a decent amount of choices to choose from meat and seafood wise. This also includes a few choices of imitation crab and other low protein meat choices (asian style meatball, fish balls and Chinese red sausage. They had choices of a few juices, smoothies and they are licensed so there was beer available. The meal itself is $38.99 on the weekend for supper which isn't too badly priced because it is all you can eat. There were a few choices for appetizers. I tried the pork and shrimp vietnamese spring rolls which was not authentic but still very good and would recommend. I don't recommend the bbq ribs because it was fatty and had too much gristle. Overall it was good meal. Extra points for them for not placing the meat in wooden bbq skewers because that would be an ongoing expense for the restaurant and consumers ending up paying for with their meal. read more

Big guy behind bar has some old school values that you just don't see often. Would recommend For family and friend, except those of us looking to loose weight this is not going to help. read more

Food was just ok, not much selections at food station for the grill. Service was slow and not attentive at all, we had to keep calling server over for service. Next we will try the hot pot but probably not gonna expect too much.. read more

Stopped here because it was close to the Tesla Supercharger, but I loved it-- great food, friendly service, and I really liked sitting out on the large patio. read more

We were recommended to come here by one of my closest friends. And WOW! At first glance from the outside... you really don't expect much. A place that does both Hotpot and BBQ? I was a little confused if they didn't have a specialty in which they cater more towards. We decided to go try the Hotpot option. Food - 5/5: This restaurant is so unique because you get to walk up and grab the ingredients yourself (if it is for Hotpot), except for the meat... they get delivered to you. The vegetables are fresh, clean, and perfect in every way. The choices of noodles are extremely wide. They range from ramen, udon, flat rice noodles, and so much more. The broth was extremely tasty too. Their dipping sauce section had a huge variety of sauces. I put together Peanut Sauce + Sesame Oil + Sesame Paste + Fresh Cilantro + Hoisin Sauce = PERFECTION! Service - 5/5: Amazing. Quick. Attentive. Polite. Everything you would want in a service. 10/10 would come here again, even if I do live an hour away. I've been to a fair share of hotpot restaurants in Mississauga and Markham, but Lang is the best of them all. Already craving it again. read more

The is a really great hot pot restaurant. It reminds me of my time with good friends while living in China. I highly recommend and the taste was exceptional. read more

Great place! Everything is sooo fresh! You ha e 2 fridges full of vegetables and noodles. Lots of selection. Even if your a vegetarian you will love it. Especially the Hot Pot, they have veggie soup base. So the are 2 sides, 1 is the Korean BBQ and the other is the Hot Pot! This would be a great experience for anyone or if you have a group of people! The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating because service was a little slow but not that bad. Must Try! read more

First time trying Hot Pot and it was excellent. They let you pick your broth base flavor and then meats and veggies. All you can eat. We chose the Mongolian and Lang (Vietnamese) flavors in a duo hot pot for better variety. Good selection of meats and more expensive veggies everything looked very fresh. Ended up cooking a lot more than we could eat getting the right amount of noodles was hard. They had a hot bar of sides that you can choose from too all were tasted though didn't have much with how much food we had in the hot pots. Being our first time they told us how to cook everything. The deserts they had a few with a lot of fresh fruit. Overall great experience highly recommend. read more

Lang Restaurant - Duo hot pot Mongolian and Lang. - Hot Pot Near Me - St. Catharines, Ontario

This place is a self serve BBQ or Hot Pot place (you can either bbq your own meat & seafood or create your own soup. This place has always been a "go to" for my fiancé and I. We absolutely LOVE the food and the environment itself. We are sad the old owners went to their new location in Grimsby but the place is still great and I would recommend this to everyone who likes to cook your own food on a bbq/or create your own soup. read more

We were at the Niagara falls and was looking for something good to eat, but Nada. Then went to help and found this hot pot place( they have BBQ too, but I didn't try). Services are excellent, every staff attended our table. Food was so fresh and tasty. The place is beautiful as well. read more

Love this place! Great service and great food! Meat and vegetables are fresh! My friend doesn't want hot pot so we only tried BBQ. It turns out very satisfied dinner experience. By the way, the environment is nice decorated and the price for the food is very reasonable! If I have the chance to come back to Niagara Fall, definitely will come back! read more

Wonderful trip to Lang. Fantastic service by the whole crew. Multiple staff (at least 6!) stopped by to check in on us, answer questions , remove dirty plates, adjust the grill... Food was great tasting. Lots of vegetables. Side dishes were replenished and changed through our stay. Even came with ice cream!! Will definitely come back again. Can't wait for my teenagers to go. They will love it. read more

Hidden/overlooked gem in St. Catherine's. I live in Toronto and this is probably one of the best hot pot places I've been to so far in terms of speedy service and fresh ingredients. I came here for lunch, did menu A and that was enough food/options (menu b has some extra's like salmon). You have a choice of adding a flavor to your brother and the Tom Yum is soo good, very spicy and flavorful. However, if you wanted to make your own there's an area with sauces to add. The peanut sauce is phenomenal, I used it as a dip for my cooked proteins! They have two fridges full of fresh vegetables and noodles, a hot foods bar which is so good and a fridge full of fruits and some dessert. Also, unlimited ice cream... by the time I was done by lunch I was so stuffed but definitely went in for an extra scoop of green tea. The staff is so friendly and quick, the food is fresh and it's very well priced. I will definitely return but for the Vietnamese BBQ this time and I highly recommend others to come here as well!! read more

We were coming back from Niagara and decided to stop by at this Vietnamese hot pot and bbq location. Our party of six opted for the all-you-can-eat BBQ for $36 /person and it was worth every penny! A great selection of well-marinated meats, seafood, and self-serve vegetable/fruit bar. Don't go for the eggroll/noodle bar, focus on the delicacies such as bulgolgi, ox tongue, etc. It's a great group activity and the service was fantastic. The restaurant itself also had a wonderful atmosphere and everything was very clean. I would give it 6 stars if I could. read more

My husband and I were so relieved to find a good hot pot place near us! We have been on the look out for a good hot pot place since moving to Buffalo from Queens, NYC. The customer service was exceptional and the food was top notch. We look forward to visiting often! read more

On a road trip from New York to California right now. Stumbled across this place randomly, and we're very glad we did. Even though we are from New York City, never have we encountered such a unique twist of hot pot that is Vietnamese style. I am myself in Vietnamese and was very satisfied with the variety of meats and the taste of the broth. It was like real beef pho broth. We did not try the barbecue. Take a free ice cream at the end which was nice. We liked the ambience, and we liked how the vegetable buffet was separate from the meats, in the sense that you only had to use the ordering paper for meats, and you could grab as much vegetables, mushrooms, desserts as you want. read more

Great food and service. The food was delivered in a promptly manner and the staff were super friendly. There's no seating time limit plus they play so great music ! read more

Free parking on site and sat promptly. Fresh beef tongue and lamb. Good variety of meat options and vegetarian options. Many options to make your own dipping sauces and soup base. Only issue was that the vegetable and tofu/ noodle self serve station seemed a bit old. Bathrooms were very clean. Overall I would definitely check this place out if you are in the mood for hot pot or grilled meat. read more

Been there on 2 different occasions. The food is fresh and bright colors. The beef is deep red when they brought it out. The seasoning for the pots are just spot on. I wish they had eggs for their hot pot and maybe sliced potatoes. I can't complain about anything and I can't wait to come back. read more

Reviewing the hotpot...didn't try the barbecue yet, but will be back. Fresh food. The meats, veg (especially the watercress and bok choy) and seafood were all great. Fantastic service. Staff were attentive and friendly, willing to answer questions, without being pushy. Clean. The restaurant looked sharp and the bathrooms were clean as well. My parents usually come to Toronto to get hotpot, but now St. Catharines has the real deal. The hotpot stock was delicious, and the selection for sauces was great as well. We did Menu B for the variety for seafood and lamb. We came with 6 people for dinner, including 2 young'uns. Everyone had plenty to eat, and we weren't rushed out the door to get new people in. We'll be back again soon. Highly recommend. read more

This place is amazing.such good service they are really nice.and the food just makes me hungry thinking about it. They give you a lot of what you want and you get to pick your own fresh veggies. I really recommend this place for families and even for yourself. The prices are cheap and the quality is amazing. read more

We tried the Vietnamese Barbecue version and where quite surprised on the light flavorful all one can eat food. There is a spice bar if one is bold enough to get the dishes dipped to their liking read more

So so good. I roll myself outa there when I leave. Very fun experience BBQ your own food. I have not tried the hot pot side (the restaurant is divided in half) BBQ on one side, hot pots on the other.) but I will one day. I'm sure it's just as good as the BBQ. read more

What a terrific place! It was our first time there, and the staff was patient in explaining how it worked. We then understood that we could choose all we wanted among dozens of food choices to make our "hot pot" just as we liked it. So it was great all-around. Nice setting too with easy parking. Lang is first-rate in every respect. read more

Damn I first thought it was all you can eat pho.... But they started a sick interesting concept. The place is nice and they keep up their quality... The grilled stuff are seasoned appropriately and they have all the sauces. Honestly it is a great experience to do Viet BBQ. Their hotpot is also solid.. good ingredients and hot pot meat that isn't old. Conclusion: go for the variety of food, sauces, and unique Viet BBQ experience you might not find in toronto read more

the worst bbq i have ever eaten. poor pork strange taste. terrible seasoning. oh my god!!! do not come to this restaurant any more

never heard of a Vietmenese style bbq place before but this place seemed to have nailed it. all the meats were beautifully marinated in unique sauces and the place was very clean and comfortable. our server was polite and brought our food out very quickly. when my family and i went in there for dinner it was quite empty which is unfortunate for such a quality restaurant. i really hope it doesnt close. read more

I think at this point me and my friends are regulars here already. Good food whether the hotpot or the bbq (always a fight with my friends on which to get but we decided summer is bbq and winter is hotpot lol).. staff has always been nice even from day 1, had no issues with service or food. All in all very good. read more
