Tried Feng Hot Pot recently and really enjoyed it overall…read more We got the medium spicy broth, which turned out pretty spicy for me, but super flavorful and hard to stop eating. The mushroom broth was a great balance--rich, comforting, and perfect for veggies. The brown sugar sticky rice cakes were a highlight--crispy outside, soft and chewy inside, with just the right sweetness. Definitely wish we ordered more. Duck intestines were fresh and stayed surprisingly crunchy even after cooking a bit too long. The spicy chicken gizzards were tender and well seasoned. I also liked the double pepper beef--the green peppers added a nice fresh kick. The only thing I wouldn't reorder is the bamboo fungus with shrimp --it was a bit loose compared to regular shrimp handmade ball. I prefer order handmade shrimp ball. Overall, great flavors and a solid hot pot spot. I'd come back to try more.

If you go on your birthday you can get your meal for FREE (either hotpot or korean bbq) which is kinda unheard of. They offer the same options as anywhere else - the beef is super fresh and the spiced lamb is pretty tasty. They don't have a wide variety or veggies or a lot of marinated options for the meat, but i dont mind at all for the price.

Maybe Korean bbq is just not for me…read more I wanted to like this so bad but we found it difficult to eat all of the food we had (it's all you can eat but they charge you if you don't finish) and the service was a bit slow. As newbies, we didn't have much help figuring out how to make the food or get any recommendations on what pairs well. Definitely try it out if you are a more adventurous person but overall I think I would like to try somewhere else. The restaurant was clean and empty when we were there at lunch on the weekend.

A very solid option for AYCE KBBQ in UCity!…read more I was craving for KBBQ after having it for my dad's bday, and wifey and I needed a date night idea. So why not eating way too much protein while our faces soak up that delicious grease and smoke? It turns out there are no reasons why not. The meat selection is pretty good for a spot that I didn't get the impression specializes in KBBQ - it was, after all, a hot pot spot first. But they've got your classics: LA galbi, bulgogi beef, thinly sliced fatty brisket, pork belly, spicy gochujang pork shoulder, you know what it is. But they also have some deep cuts: pork cheek and beef tongue! I think those are only available for dinner, but still. Delicious. They also have a good selection of seafood. Their marinated scallops and squid were a hit. I believe they also have mussels, shrimp, all the good stuff. One thing I wish they had more of was a wider variety of side dishes (banchan). They had radish kimchi and marinated cucumbers when I went, but cabbage kimchi was all out that day, and I just feel like one more little side dish would have made it perfect... like maybe some potato salad or the like. Because it's a hot pot joint, the sauce game is on point though. Plenty of sesame oil and soybean paste to slather your grilled goodies in. Plus, some vinegars, fresh herbs, other chili oils, and the like that would normally be used for hot pot. Mix and match to your delight. Drinks were varied and very reasonably priced. All the usual suspects from soju to sake. I'll come back with friends when bulking season comes around, for sure!

After watching too many shows featuring kbbq, I couldn't resist the urge to hit up LaTao to check…read moreout their AYCE hot pot + bbq game. As it turns out, they're pretty legit for a spot that's conveniently located right next to Penn. Compared to the other hot pot places I've been to, LaTao sets itself apart by offering more hot pot menu selections. Even the broth comes in 11 different flavors, and you can opt for 3 of them at once by ordering the Benz pot. For our table, we got Korean spicy broth along with Tom Yum broth and Mixed Mushroom and Rib broth. Out of these, the Korean spicy broth was my fave. I love that there are so many different choices of meat, veggies, and seafood to choose from but the shrimps were a bit smaller than I'd prefer. As for their grill section, there aren't as many meat options as some of the places I've been to, but the flavoring was pretty good. As others may have mentioned, their sauce bar and hot food/dessert buffet sections are pretty modest or nonexistent in comparison with those like KPOT, Chubby Cattle, and Kung Fu hot pot. If you're a stickler for these, you'll be disappointed by coming here. Service-wise, I felt like the entire place was run by students since it was pretty inconsistent and I felt like the wait staff were overworked. Some of the orders we placed also never arrived, but that's forgivable since we enjoyed the ones that did. Overall, I was pretty happy with the dining experience and wouldn't mind dining here again.

Wow. What a little gem!…read more Seafood hotpot!!! Yummy! The dining room is not flashy, but it is efficient. Plenty of tables and not crowded next to each other. There was only one server who acted as host, cashier and buss! It was 9pm so I get it. But Friday night peeps. As the server was by themselves, and young. We couldn't get any adult beverages! This was a little bummer. But the food definitely made up for it. Bait come on. It was Friday night!!! Ok so let's talk about the food. 40 bucks all you can eat! Broths were amazing and our host kept our pots full and hot! The food was all very fresh and abundant! Snow crab legs, beef, pork, shrimp, scallops, etc all were again portioned well and fresh. I really did enjoy my meal here and would love to go again. But I would hope to get some hot team and Soju next time! lol Two thumbs up here!!!

It wasn't busy when we went (probably because it's summer), which meant we had plenty of space and some nice privacy -- we were seated far from other tables, which was great. The main dining area was super clean, and even though there was only one staff member running the front, he was attentive and checked in often to make sure we got refills and anything we needed. They really stay on top of the AYCE part, which I appreciated. You can choose between an individual pot or a communal one, and there's a solid self-serve section in the back with drinks, sauces, veggies, noodles, and other hotpot basics. The seafood selection was surprisingly good -- abalone, conch, crab legs, shrimp, mussels -- all fresh and flavorful. The seafood boil took a little while to come out, but it was seasoned well and worth the wait. For meat, they had American wagyu, ribeye, pork belly, and lamb -- all sliced fresh and great for hotpot. The only downside was the bathroom. The sink was clogged and almost overflowing, and there was no hand soap, which definitely raised some hygiene concerns. Still, the overall value, service, and food quality made this a great experience. I'll definitely be back -- especially in the winter when hotpot hits even harder.

We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

Ordered takeout while visiting from out of town. The ordering process was quick and seamless and…read moreeverything was ready quicker then expected. Unfortunately the experience at pickup wasn't the best. I asked if they had included utensils and the gentleman at the counter said no. I asked for some since I was bringing the food back to my hotel and wouldn't have anything to eat with. He was pretty dismissive and didn't seem to want to give me anything. (I also didn't get any napkins.) Just a little strange when ordering takeout, utensils should be included right? Or at the very least be readily given out when requested? He begrudgingly gave me 2 pairs of chopsticks and a fork, said he ran out of spoons. I didn't notice the lack of napkins until I got back. Now for the food. We ordered dan dan noodles, a chicken lo mein, and Taiwanese minced pork rice. The noodle dishes were decent but the lo mein was a bit too al dente for our liking...especially for our young son. Didn't get a chance to eat the rice because we were all too full from the noodles. Appreciate the generous portions at least. Will see if the rice will make it home safely with us and reheats well. Can't speak on the ambience. Wasn't in there long enough to really look around. Will I order from them again or try in person in the future? I'm not sure. I wasn't blown away by the food or service so...
