Ombu is my favorite place to go to in Louisiana. staff is very welcoming the buffet is immaculate and desserts are top tier and boba to take home !?!? Is everything you could ask for in a restaurant nice and clean little restaurant read more

Korean Barbecue is our favorite ethnic food. We've visited Korean Barbecue restaurants, in several cities across 6 different states. The wife and I both agreed - this place is at the top of our list. This restaurant has so many different tastes to choose from and our waiter was friendly, helpful and engaging. We will never again visit New Orleans, without a trip to this restaurant. There are hundreds of UNBELIEVABLY GREAT RESTAURANTS in the New Orleans area - But this is the ONLY AYCE Korean Barbecue that we could find. So, if you need to take a break from Poboys, Cheeseburgers, Jambalaya, Creole and Italian - GO HERE - Betcha won't visit just once! read more

We passed this restaurant several times and decided to try it for lunch on Monday. They open at 11 AM. We arrived early and were able to wait inside. Immediately noticed the pretty chandeliers and cleanliness of the restaurant. While waiting the waiter was kind enough to answer a few questions for us of how the ordering process works. We were promptly seated as soon as they opened. They turned on the warmer at our table and we placed our beverage orders. They explained how we would order from the tablet which was very easy. You order and within a few short minutes it is delivered to your table. We tried a little bit of everything and left happy and stuffed! Please come hungry because you will want to try everything. It is great to have a new restaurant on the Westbank with fresh delicious food and the service is top notch! We will be back soon!! read more

This has been such an awesome find. My brother is seriously going once or twice a week! He's definitely hooked! It's all you can eat and anything you can of adding to your hot pot! These little stove tops sit on the table to get your hot pot going! Make sure you don't over do it so everything can fits. Definitely get the steak it's thinly sliced and top off with Ramen noodles(or any noodle you can think of). My son is going through a picky eater phase, but they have a lot of fruits and veggies that he likes. And of course Edamame and sea weed salad! On the actual menu (iPad) the crab ragoons and egg rolls are great. We haven't done the Korean BBQ side with the table grill, but that looks like fun! The only negative I can think of is sometimes I'm unsure of cook times. So I do get a little worried that I'm over or under cooking things! read more

Food was okay, some good, some not so good. Fresh stir fry is best. Service was also hit or miss. I asked if they had coffee and was told no, but another server came by midway through so I commented that it would be nice if they had coffee. She said they do. Maybe just a communication error ‍ read more

First off, the place was huge! I appreciated that the walkways weren't tight as I liked going back and forth their sauce and seafood bar. The hot pot and bbq tables were at opposite ends of the restaurant with the salad and seafood bar right at the middle. I loved their banchan choices. A must-try is the spicy pork ears. It was perfectly seasoned and not too soft. There were a variety of sauce choices. As someone who frequented hot pot places, I already knew the type of sauce I really liked. However, I came with first-timers. I think it'll be great for them to post sauce combination suggestions on the wall! Ordering off an iPad menu was great especially at a busy place such as a K-Bbq restaurant. However, they did not come at a timely manner. The servings of meat came incomplete and were served before the rice orders. Typically, rice accompanies the meat as they are eaten together. But they came with the second batch of our orders. They also messed up orders from other tables. The table opposite us had to ask us if we ordered something because it got placed at their table when they were just about to leave. We would still come back though because Louisiana really does not have a lot of choices for places like these. Hopefully, we get a better experience next time! read more

Ombu Hotpot & Korean BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Ombu Hotpot & Korean BBQ has a wonderful array of items, soup bases, and appetizers for a hotpot meal you can customize entirely. When you walk in, you'll actually have 2 dining options: Hotpot vs BBQ. With hotpot, which is what I chose during my visit, you'll walk past a buffet-style assortment of toppings, meat, noodles, and other items you can add to your hotpot. First and foremost, the food was delicious and I'll be coming back for the hotpot again, and to try the BBQ! The service was speedy, with all our meat and appetizers coming out just minutes after we ordered, and our waiter(s) were extremely nice and helpful despite some language barrier hiccups. The restaurant itself was clean and well-organized, with plenty of chatty and happy customers, without it being too loud. Now, this was my first time having hotpot, and at this restaurant, and it was a bit confusing trying to figure out how to order and what was allowed, so I'll give a run-down of how it works below: Once seated, you choose your soup base and meats (among other appetizers, drinks, etc) on a tablet. The currency is not displayed in USD, but no worries as it's a flat all-you-can-eat price, so no matter what you add to your cart/order, you don't have to fret about the bill or currency translation. The only items not included in the buffet style options are desserts and drinks. While waiting for your first order you can peruse the buffet you walked past and get toppings, noodles, and other specialty meats to add to your hotpot soup. Once your soup comes, they'll place it on heaters (with adjustable heat settings) built into the table. If you run out of meat, need napkins, refills, or simply want more food, just order it off the tablet again and press send. You can use the tablet to ask for the bill as well! Overall this was a fun first experience and I'd love to go again, especially now that I know how everything works! read more

Ombu Hotpot & Korean BBQ - Guy enjoying his food and surroundings - Barbeque Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

The place is alright. I do like how they give you a iPad to order food but it is almost never accurate. I ordered 3 orders of galbi and it was mainly 75% bone 25% meat and there are times when I ordered 3 meat and they only send me 1 so when I decide to try order 6 (I can eat a lot) they just sent me 2 pieces of meat if I can show how much I ordered compared to how much I get it's like 3 pieces ordered equals to 1 piece of meat but if you order 1 piece of meat by itself you will get exactly what you ordered basically you might have to constantly order 1 piece of meat. The quality of the meat also wasn't the best some tasted tough if I have to choose I like the garlic steak because it had garlic seasoning. Unfortunately this could not meet my expectations. I will they I like the variety and options they offer but the quality was disappointing. server was nice but there were people who brought out food that didn't understand when I asked them," is this 3 orders they didn't give a reply (it was 1 piece of steak not big piece either)" Food 1.5/5 Atmosphere 3.5/5 Service 2/5 read more

It's pretty good service and yummy food , it has REALLY good deals . You get so much for what you pay for read more

Loved this place. Great servers. My boyfriend loved the KBBQ, while I prefer hotpot so best of both worlds. Not as many hotpot vegetables as I'm used to, but it was still amazing. read more

Our server was fantastic, walking us through how to order and cook our choices, making the experience smooth even for hot pot first-timers . Staff consistently refilled our broth, took away used plates quickly, and made sure we never waited long between courses. The vibes were nice too. read more

The portions placed for people to eat are small and one person will clear that selection and it will 20 minutes before it is refilled.

I came here with my friends this was our first time! it was so much fun and the food was so good for the price, we did dinner time which is 25.99. We kinda had no clue what we were doing but our server was really patient and helped us with all of it cause I just know he was laughing at us read more

So delicious. Seafood options are a plenty but actually I liked the mushrooms and vegetables

Korean BBQ for lunch was a delight. A few minor glitches with service (staff were definitely trying hard & very gracious). We were pleased with their lunch options & will go again in a few weeks, anticipating that they'll have the kinks worked out. read more

Ombu Hotpot & Korean BBQ - Exterior signage - Barbeque Near Me - Marrero, Louisiana

Highly recommend. We have been to the Korean BBQ side twice already, once for lunch and once for dinner. You get a few additional items for dinner but lunch is the best deal in my opinion. You order with the iPad and the meats come out very very quickly. We were shocked by how fast the ordering process is because many all you can eat places take their time when servicing the food. Ask for a table with a vent that can be lowered (some of them are stuck in the up position) so you don't have as much smoke around you. read more

This is the BEST!! Hands down! Service is great! Food is great! Atmosphere is what it should be at a place like this. I love it! I highly recommend this place! read more

Unli seafood is thee best. Plus you can do hot pot and bbque at the same time. Will def visit again when in NOLA

July 12 my father dined in that evening. He left and paid with his card and left a cash tip. Apparently the establishment decided to add $63 something extra charge as an added tip. His bill was only $147. My sister called the establishment and apparently someone acknowledged what happened and advised they would get manager to contact my sister back. Still have yet to receive the call from them to resolve their stealing. We contact the bank to dispute the charge and they are looking into it now but if the restaurant was good on customer service, they would have called to have resolved this. Be careful dining here as you might get charged more than you think you'll be paying for. read more

This was our first time here. Lunch is only $16.99 and all you can eat. The girl that waited on us was very helpful showing us how to order and prepare our food. All the ordering is done on a tablet at the table; very high tech. I got the spicy broth and my wife got the beef broth. The broth was so delicious. We also ordered beef tongue, beef, and pork belly. We also ordered fried shrimp, Korean fried chicken and egg fried rice. The shrimp was fried in a batter similar to tempura batter and the Korean fried chicken was very flavorful, but a bit sweet for me. That just my personal preference. All these you pay for in addition to the buffet. The buffet has a wide and varied selection of raw meats and seafood and a few choices that some would call exotic like beef tripe and pork intestine. They also have several different mushrooms, vegetables, and noodles. You make your selection and put it all into your boiling pot of broth. Let it cook for about 10 minutes then put it into your bowl and enjoy. We give it a 10 out of 10, highly recommend. read more

WARNING!!!!!! Do not go to this restaurant if you have any kind of food allergies. It's a cesspool of cross contamination. The buffet area does not have tongs for all the options. Everything shares the same tong. When​ ordering the broth for the hotpot don't ask questions because as my fiancée and I found out the hard way ( I have a serious seafood allergy) none of the staff understands English. We asked if the tom yun broth had seafood in it and all we got was the waitress asking "spicy?" Over and over. We Settled on the beef bone broth to play it safe since we couldn't be sure if any of the other broths had seafood in it. The broths​ came out and they turned on the burners and my fiancée's burner didn't work so she had to sit across and to the right of me making it awkward to hold conversations while eating. After finishing the first course we wanted to order more meat but we couldn't figure out how to work the tablet at the table so we once again tried to ask a different person for assistance and wouldn't you know they also didn't understand English. So we didn't order more and we're ready to leave we tried to ask how do we pay. Someone from the front came over and gave us our bill we paid and then brought us the receipt to sign it had what I considered the best part of the meal, little melon flavored candies. Oh forgot to add that the tongs for the table still had food on them from the guests before us. Disgusting right, yeah I know. Do not waste your money here there are much better places for hotpot. read more

I went when it was brand new, and just opened up. The place is clean, chic, with nice marble tables for the hot pot. The selection for the hot pot buffet was awesome, and had a lot of options, and some harder to find stuff like lotus root and enoki mushrooms. Unfortunately they don't serve alcohol, but the food is good enough by itself that I didn't really care. The service was lightning fast. I ate by myself and was in and out in about 40 minutes. Great spot for lunch. read more

Great food and service. Can't beat the price. Welcome to the West bank Jusst keeps getting better without going across the river.
