    I had a great experience at Master Ba's Hot Pot and BBQ. The wait staff did try their best to explain the whole concept. The concept here is, for the Hot Pot, pick out a broth and any items for the hot pot. The options are unlimited and includes veggies, noodles and meats. There is a stove at every table and also a bbq pit for the BBQ. Everyone at the table must choice either the HotPot or HotPot and BBQ. For the BBQ, pick out any of the meats which is cooked in the bbq at the table. Those options are also unlimited. There is a buffet table of sauces and other stuff. 3 flavors of ice cream for dessert, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate cups. This being our first time here, my friends and I went crazy ordering too many options. A lot of it was wasted because we were so full. My advice is to order one or two items at a time. You can always order more if needed. The tables are not that big so we found it challenging to put all the options we ordered. In the end, with full a stomach, I had a great time and would come here again.

    Stopped by for a late lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food. We went around 3pm on a weekday and it was just us and another couple in the restaurant. The server was attentive and we also had the robot bring over some food items as well. We chose to do the bbq but you can choose hot pot, bbq, or combo of the two. It is all you can eat and the restaurant was very clean. We chose the pork belly and as you can see in the photos they give you a good amount. We also had the strip, shrimp, and the short rib for our meat options. You can also choose a variety of appetizers such as crab rangoons, spring rolls, etc. Would return!

    I had an amazing time enjoying both the Korean BBQ and hot pot! The meats--chicken, steak, and pork belly--were all incredibly flavorful and perfectly seasoned! Every bite was juicy and tender, and the staff made sure the grill stayed hot and ready. The hot pot was just as impressive, with rich, savory broth and a great selection of fresh ingredients. Everything was high quality and well-prepped, and the flavors were spot on. A delicious and fun dining experience from start to finish. I highly recommend! The staff were great and attentive! A robot brings your food out to your table YES a robot, the best part is it sings Taylor swift or Michael Jackson lol. As for the appetizers which were all included, some I tried include: calamari, krab Rangoon, scallion pancake. All were very delicious and fresh! I can't wait to come back with friends, they had seating for large groups too!

    FAVORITE HOT POT & BBQ IN SOUTH FLORIDA!!! From the customer service which was delightful and you get robots help deliver your food super quick haha to the quality of the meats are very good. Great for friends, family, or a celebration of any sort. The menu is simple and is the same price everyday. $31.99 BBQ or Hot Pot $36.99 for both options (Both have different menus) (Please see photos for reference) Your choice of any selected meats and veggies and you can serve yourself from the sauce bar all your saucy favs. You also get a dessert which is vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream as a sweet treat. Drinks are not included in the price. Parking is easy and enough space for everyone. This is located right next to Sawgrass Mills Mall. The selected items can also be order at the table from your phone and the sever is aware immediately. They have a very organized system. Clean & Professional environment. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! ^.^

    Great sauce bar, clean interiors and quick service. Robot server was a fun touch too. Lamb, veggies and chicken options were great, however the marinades felt similar across, and the galbi meat was chewy.

    My brother wanted to try some hot pot for his birthday so when I found Master ba's offers both hot pot and bbq, I knew it was worth giving it a try. One person in our party was not interested in joining the bbq, and the server was able to adjust it. Service was super friendly, making sure drunks were filled and if we needed to adjust temperatures on our dishes. It's order what you like- and the menu does say how many pieces of food come per order. Make sure not yo eat with your eyes because it's more food than you think. On a paper menu, you will put the quantity amount per item- meats, veggies, seafood, and precooked items as well. A very cute robot server will come and drop off everything- ready for you to cook. Note with hot pot, you can make your dipping sauce at a station nearby. We loved the experience, and if any sauces or utensils were in low stock by the dipping station, the servers were more than happy to accommodate us. they also have a cute ice cream station as well for dessert. again, I say to be cautious about how much food you do order because it will be a lot of food- especially if you're doing both options. The restaurant did state that there is a surcharge if you leave/over order too much food and do not eat it all. you have the option to order more as you go so simply do a few dishes to start and order more as you continue your meal. The atmosphere is very cute with fun fish decorated throughout- they do also have a full bar and TV. thank you for a fun experience for my brothers birthday.

    Brought my mom to have hot pot for the first time & she loved it! We ordered a ton of fried appetizers, I got the spicy soup & she got the original chicken soup. Lots of veggies, noodles, meats and ice cream! Master Ba's never disappoints!

    Very good hot pot place, but we will not be returning for the KBBQ. They use some sort of sheet for the grill which we were not comfortable cooking on. We have never seen this ever! The waitress was understanding and let us cook on the grill, but the staff in the kitchen were not happy. It just seemed to us that they didn't want to clean the grills... Lastly, the overall quality of meat was not good on the KBBQ menu. The hot pot menu was delicious and so was the sauce bar!

    Enjoy the best of both worlds at Master Ba's Hot Pot & Korean BBQ located steps away from the Sawgrass Mall. Our party of 3 arrived at 5:30pm and were seated right away. They have a selection of wines, bottled beers, canned sodas & bottled teas. Ordering is done through an order form at your table where you select your appetizers, meats, veggies, & toppings. We did the Hot Pot & KBBQ for $35/person. The spicy broth & bone broth (pork) were very good. It's a small size compared to other strictly hot pot restaurants. The grill for kbbq is in the middle of the table with a non stick mat placed on top. We tried the NY Strip & beef belly. The NY strip was marinated & delicious. We were all happy with our hot pot. The little robot server was a bonus experience too. Overall our experience was great. I'm knocking off 2 stars because the sauce bar utensils and bowls cleanliness were questionable.

    Excellent food! Quick to bring it via this little robot. Kids loved it! We got both hot pot and bbq option.

    Who doesn't love Korean bbq and hotpot?! We came in on a Saturday night for dinner and there was no wait time. We were taken straight to our table and our server was great. We did the hotpot and bbq combo for $35 pp. For the bbq options everything we ordered was very well seasoned and the short rib was our favorite. The hot pot broth was also very flavorful. I jammed packed it with seafood and it was delicious. Overall I wish they will let you take whatever is already cooked, but they don't allow that. If you eat a lot this might be good for you otherwise is kinds of a waste of money.

    I love how conveniently Master Ba's is closed to sawgrass but I can't say I enjoyed it much this time around. I can say that the hot pot broth taste better than last time but the meats for the hot pot did not taste fresh and really funky. The bbq was the same with only the short rib doing justice. I can say, they have decreased portions of what you order from the first time I went, but can be inconvenience if you want a lot of something else. The menu is dim sum style and you check what you want but I would write a quantity even though I'm not sure how that would make sense for the veggies. Maybe they give you more than one bowl of it. Anyway...service was good, but the food was mediocre. The plus side is the prices have not change since I went a year ago. 28.99 for one option, 35 for both

    Great date night spot and absolutely worth every penny of the $35 for all-you-can-eat Hot Pot & BBQ! I love that they have the option to do both! everything about this place was awesome from the food to the ROBOTS serving your food. The meat and veggies were super fresh and the Spicy broth base for the hot pot was ridiculously yummy. They have seven different soup bases to choose from, so if spicy isn't your thing, I'm sure the others are equally good. My favorites were (APP) salt & pepper shrimp; (BBQ & HOT POT) NY strip, pork belly, King & Shimeji mushrooms and zucchini. They also have a sauce and garnish station so you can pick and choose what you'd like to add to complement your meal. Highly recommend! Definitely going back!!

I also like the spicy rice cakes with fish cakes (Dduckbokki) The combination with the grilled meats+ soup or noodle options are a great choice when you want variety. They also have great Banchan as well which are little side dishes that comes with the meal. I enjoy dining in because they always put on a cooking show and it feels like I'm at home. The service is great but may take a bit longer when they are busy, so be patient with the staff because they are nice people.

    Accompanied some friends for a first time visit here based on the pictures as the food looked good…read more There was no wait and service was prompt and friendly even though the restaurant was almost filled to capacity. The barometer for us indicating that this might be a legit decent Korean restaurant was the amount of Asian diners in the restaurant and there were an overwhelming majority of them at the time we went in. So we knew it was going to be a good meal. We got our drink orders in and for entrees went with the Army Stew (Budae Jigae), bulgogi, and the Seafood tofu soup. The army stew was considered 2 portions- it was huge but my friend was able to finish it himself. He said it was delicious and lived up to his expectations after having had the army stew in Seoul and have been looking for a place that offered back home. Though not quite as good as in Seoul but very decent for SoFlo. Next up was the seafood tofu soup. The flavor was on point- soft tofu that melts in your mouth along with clams, squid, shrimp and an egg topper. I will say, they were rather skimpy on the shrimp (only 1 in the pot) and a couple clams and squid but it was delicious nonetheless. The bulgogi was seasoned well and they included a number of banchan which all tasted fresh. I asked for lettuce to wrap my bulgogi with as that's common in South Korea but here it is a $4 upcharge for lettuce. The food did hit the spot so we were all satisfied with the quality of the food and will likely return.

It wasn't the food that was the issue it was the oddness of the service and my experience. 1) We were two people and clearly wanted a booth but apparently the were all taken so instead of sitting us at a table they say us at the tinest bar. 2) When I asked for eel sauce, she gave me terriaki instead and then proceeded to charge for it. I was like girl this is not eel sauce. I know eel sauce. It was terrible. 3) The sushi roll was so small. I ordered a rainbow roll and I was still hungry. Also I would like to add they didn't have tuna crispy rice!! 4) Paid almost $100 and for what? I don't feel like it was worth it. 5) Service was slow for not such a busy night.

It was my first time trying this dish. The noodles themselves I enjoyed a lot -- kinda slippery, nice chew. The black bean sauce was very umami and I could easily see this being a comfort food to some. The stars here were really the grilled meats, and this place is unique in that they have charcoal grills. We ordered two of the marinated Kalbi, short ribs, because everyone loved it so much. The marinated chicken was good but would probably skip it next time for more Kalbi. The bulgogi was delicious and would definitely get that again. All of the bonchon, little side dishes, were great too! As far as the vibe, I'd say it's pretty casual and family-friendly. The only thing I find a little scary is when they bring out the hot charcoals to the table. That thing is hot and heavy and has to be brought to the table with extreme care. Sorry no pics!

Although I love the huge selection here, sometimes it's nice just to be able to walk into Kimchi Mart and get everything I need in a smaller space.

But when you talk about ELITE Asian markets, California has the BEST options with Mitsuwa Marketplace, Tokyo Central and H Mart. I love how they incorporate bakeries, food halls and tons of fresh prepared foods as grab & go options. To be fair, Cali also has a bigger Asian population than Florida, so there's that too! Enson Market is incredibly clean, organized and a beautiful Asian Market in itself. They did a great job with the way everything is laid out. The produce, meat and seafood options look fresh! I love that they do have a sushi, onigiri and fresh grab and go food space. Although when I came around 1pm, most of these options were gone so it was mostly empty. They also have a little area next to the bakery items and seafood space where they sell roast duck, crispy pork, bbq pork (char siu), and more. I would definitely come back for these!!! Frozen food options are abundant. I can say the same about the snacks, condiments, beverages, noodles, rice, instant noodles and just about every pantry item possible. All in all, Enson Market is a wonderful Asian Market in the Plantation area. They have everything you could possibly need or want. Prices are fair, service is good and quality is stellar. They have two self checkout options by the front too. Excellent option when you need Asian ingredients or just fun snacks, food or drinks!
