    Even though it is hot, we wanted to do hotpot. We ate so fast that we forgot to take pictures! I like getting the mushroom soup base and my friend likes the curry. We love that you grab all the vegetables, seafood, various tofu, etc on a conveyor belt. You order the meat from the waiter/waitress. There is an appetizer and sauce bar that you can help yourself to. Also a fruit and cookie area too. We were seated promptly but after the second round of ordering meats, the staff was no where to be seen. It took a long time to find someone so that we could get the bill.

    Great atmosphere and great selection. The toro cut & the ribeye were amazing, & the hotpot spicy house broth was delicious too. They also have lots of veggie options! The waiter was very nice and informative as well. I forgot his name but he had long hair. It was my first time at this location but if definitely be back soon!

    I really enjoy this location for KBBQ. Meat selections are great. The sauce bar becomes an experiment. I think I mastered my sauce combination. The endless variety of flavor creations makes the experience fun and delicious. The cold bar has great banchan options. They have thinly sliced pickled radish which is my favorite and an alternative from the traditional lettuce, to wrap the grilled meat. Staff is always helpful and nice.

    Seapot is an all you can eat hot pot and Korean bbq restaurant and it's pretty good. I originally heard of Seapot from the Bay Area, but now Sacramento has a location in the South Sac area. We came for an early dinner on a Sunday and there was no wait. Although we only had 3 people, the booths were large and could easily fit 10 people. We opted for hot pot only, which was $32.99. You can have both Korean bbq and hot pot for $5 more. First, you can select the type of broth you want. We all chose tonkotsu. What is great about Seapot is that each person has their own individual pot. No sharing germs, no losing the food you put in the pot..everything is yours and you control the temperature. You order the meats from your server, but for the veggies, noodles, and sides, there is a conveyor belt that runs plates of food along the side of the table you can pick up. There is also a station at the front with sauce, appetizers, fruit, and desserts. We enjoyed a variety of meats including ribeye, brisket, and Australian wagyu. From the conveyor belt, we liked the seafood - clams, mussels, squid, and ramen, udon, and veggies. We also liked some of the fruit and the sesame balls from the dessert station. There is a 90 minute limit to dining, which they were strict to enforce. Drinks were not included in the AYCE price. Service was not bad, but not extraordinary.

    Love the hot pot aspect. This time we decided to add the Korean bbq part for an extra $5. It was decent and husband loved the Galbi short ribs but we both felt it wasn't necessary with all the great items available for hot pot. Love the conveyor belt option. Love being able to grab ingredients just a few inches away. Our favorite server, Kyle, makes our visits even more enjoyable. The lunch price on weekdays is an amazing deal but unfortunately it's not easy for us to make the drive out there during the week. Wish they would open one closer to Rocklin!

    Seapot is always a great experience ! I love going here and getting the house spicy hotpot and I really love the sweet and spicy sauce it's my go to sauce and it's one of my favorite sauces ! My whole family loves it and the meat here is always so good we love the Australian Wagyu ! I was so happy to finally see more enoki mushrooms when I went today because I never get to see it when I come here. The conveyor belt has its hit or miss days when it comes to what comes on the belt like some days you will see stuff you like sometimes you don't. Like one time I went I didn't see ANY enoki mushrooms that day and then another time I went I saw enoki mushrooms once LOL. Overall I still love Seapot and I love going here for the soup base and the sauces and meats

    Really great food! Came here on a Sunday and it got pretty busy around 6:30pm. I love the concept and we chose to just do the hotpot option with sukiyaki broth. The toro was the star of the show and it was amazingg and we kept ordering it haha! I also love the idea of the conveyor belt where I am able to choose what items to put in my hotpot. My only complaint is it took the server a while to get the meat but overall really loved this place and would come here again!

    I went to Seapot for the first time with friends and was excited to try it out. I really enjoy a good Kbbq restaurant. I arrived first and got on the waiting list. You will not be seated until your entire party has arrived which is understandable. The restaurant is huge and super clean inside which is a huge plus and the booth we sat at were very comfortable and spacious. We all picked menu A which is meat and a decent amount of seafood options and hot pot. The ingredients for your hotpot you grab table side from the conveyor belt. They also have appetizers you get up and get from the hot/cold table with your sauces and toppings. I was a little disappointed in the vegetable options it lacked a lot and they do not serve sesame balls except on the weekends. The food was really good otherwise. I left full and happy. We were really bummed out that the happy hours is later at night 8:30pm-11pm as with other Kbbq spots have a much earlier happy hour or even all day happy hour. Out waitress wasn't very personable and forgot to bring food items ordered to the table. Unfortunately, she was getting her 18% either way. I would come back. I'll probably come back when the happy hour drinks are available.

    More hot pot!

    We were invited by friends to this place. Him and his wife swear by it. The waiter was super helpful in pointing out how the hot pot ordering worked. There was so much space at the table, we could have fit 4 more people with us! Walking in at almost 7pm on a Wednesday night and there was absolutely no wait. All the little extras they have to make your own personal sauces was so nice. Its set up off to the side of the restaurant, next to the bar. So many options, it was so fun to try something new. We ordered the miso hot pot and 3 or 4 meats for the BBQ and off we went! I pulled at least 2 different noodles off the conveyor belt. They had everything from bok choy to squid and scallops. I feel like they forgot that we ordered a couple of beers for people at our table, hence the 4 star. But all the food looked fresh and everything was very tasty. The restaurant was super clean and so beautiful. I know we'll have to come back. Its too good not to try again.

    Came here during lunch on a Monday- there was plenty of seating. They don't seat you unless you have your full party because there is a time limit as soon as you sit down. The lunch price on weekdays is really great. We got both the hotpot and kbbq so it was $26.99 per person for ayce. They have a revolving station in the middle for all of the hotpot sides, which was nice so we didn't have to keep ordering that. The hotpot meat and kbbq meat were pretty good too! Not the freshest meat there is, some of it clearly frozen, but still tasted good. I had the Thai pot- which tasted like a tom yum base, it was a tasty broth! Service was just okay, they weren't particularly friendly but they brought the meat out quick. I would definitely come back here during a lunch special

    This was one of my first hot pot experiences and it was really cool! The aesthetic of this place is really nice. It's clean and well designed. They have a large bar when you walk in and then you get seated to your table that has built in stoves where you will cook your hot pot and you can opt to do KoreanBBQ as well! We did both. This place is unique in the fact that there is a conveyor belt where you can pick what you want added to your hot pot. I thought that was really cool! It's a great place for a celebration or to bring people from out of town. I'll definitely be going back!

    This spot was alright. I Like how you can get the banchan yourself. What the dislike was....not having many options for appetizers and seafood choices. Only if you were to get hotpot which is from the conveyor belt. Oh and how the seat moves when you get up out your seat. It's disturbing to the people sitting behind you. Do like the sauce bar. Had plenty of sauce options.

    Seapot is one hotpot/kbbq chain we love. Definitely had to try the Sacramento location. Came on a busy holiday weekend with a big group. Our server Phong did an amazing job of making sure we had a great dining experience. Tons of broth, meat, veggies, and sauce choices. Our personal favorites for broth: creamy milk, thai, and tonkatsu. Pro tip: sometime both hotpot and kbbq at the same time can get overwhelming, so one might have a better experience if they choose just one. $5 extra is you want both kbbq and hotpot.

I ordered the Large American Kobe Beef with miso and crab broths. It was an average size to feed two people, however I was hungry so I was not full after the meal. The dish came with thin sliced beef, veggies, and choice of noodles or rice. The portion of noodles was very small. The crab broth was my favorite of all the broths and had a nice crab flavor. The meal came with dessert which was a choice of ice cream; I chose the cookies and cream. The chicken wing appetizer was scrumptious. The wings were fried and coated with sauce with lots of jalapenos. Service was good as the employee offered samples of all their broths to assist in making a selection. After the food was served he checked if we needed anything and refilled water. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was busy on a Saturday evening so reservations are recommended.

Glad my mom suggested it for her birthday dinner or I don't know when I would've ever gone! Service was excellent (both helpful & informative). Since we'd never gone before, we were offered a sample of the broths; this was super helpful and appreciated because I ended up not ordering one of the broths I thought I was definitely going to get. I got the Kobe Beef with Miso & Crab Rieu as the two broths. I was able to comfortably split the large size with my husband, but we probably could've used a slightly larger portion for his sake. (He felt a bit hungry after the meal but noted his stomach had settled.) As a party of 5, two of us shared one pot (or two broths) and three shared another pot. The chicken wings appetizer was very flavorful too! (The server listed three options for wings and we went with the one that included jalapeños.) For noodles, you can choose between instant ramen, fresh ramen or vermicelli. It also came with a small scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal! I think I'll come back for AYCE soon. All the ingredients were fresh and very tasty.

My sister said it gets very busy at dinner time and the wait time can be over an hour. For lunch, it was quite a good deal. AYCE Hotpot, sushi and BBQ for about $30. If you only choose one of the AYCE options, it is about $25 but seems worth it to get the all 3 combo for $30. It does seem that everybody at the table has to choose the same option. Hot pot - You each get your own individual hot pot. There had a pretty good variety of broth flavors to choose from. There is a menu that you can order the meat from. There were 5 of us and we were told we can order 4 meats to share per round. There is a separate area for to grab a tray/bowl and choose your veggies. All in all, I enjoyed the Tonkatsu broth and like the variety of meats and veggies available. Korean BBQ - A bit different in that you do not order at the table. There is an area with small trays of meat available for you to grab and bring back to your table. Good variety. Pork Jowl was my favorite and it's not as common. The only issue is that if your party doesn't communicate, you some how end up grabbing all of the same items! So discuss amongst yourselves or else it might be an overkill. Didn't try the sushi simply because I had some good quality sushi the night before so no need for buffet style sushi. The staff was VERY friendly and efficient. They came by often to check on us, take away dirty plates and to change the grill. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot.

    Mixed review on this one…read more Standout: Service, Service, Service! The food runners and the supporting staff were amazing! Great patients with the grandparents as they are less adventurous as they took time to explain the process as well as recommending a less "punch you in the face" broths for their individual hotpot. This buffet style was also cool in that all the individual proteins (pre-cooled/seasoned/fully cooked) were individually plated and in little half boxes . Diners take an empty lunch tray, gather what looks good for their liking and return to their table to cook and enjoy. Definitely much more "civilized" . Way better than large sections with multiple tongs encouraging the food savages. Another big plus is the wide selections. For those food influencers...it will be a long running camera shot just to capture the amount of different items. The challenge with this approach tho is that the plates and small food containers can stack up bery quickly and take over much of the real estate on the dining table top. But we were amazed at the team work of the staff to quickly make the needed elbow room. On a busy Saturday night tho, it definitely can still be a bit tricky. The value for the AYCE die hards are definitely there! There are solid options of meats fish and veg. But those fearing AYCE diners can also expect a certain level madness. We saw many unintentional dropping of trays of eager patrons. There were definitely ambitious customers that are stacking their trays sky high. Customers on our visit were generally very cordial to staff and on the couple of "tim.....berssss" we witnessed, the response time to clean up was really impressive! The AYCE masses are hard to please for sure, but it may make a difference to apply some general limit on the individual patrons trays? That may frustrate some hardcore diners but can enhance the experience of others. We will reiterate that the managing team is just doing such a bang up job in hiring a great crew! They all were hustling and we definitely noticed! WTG!!!

There's just…read moresomething so so soothing and satisfying about this cuisine and something so communal and fun that I just can't get enough. When considering a hot pot restaurant, I think you have to look at two things the broth choices, and the selection of the signature proteins. A lot of places will try to convince you that you need to upgrade to the premium level to get access to the best of the best, but I am more appreciate places like this one that offer a ton at the low and medium level with only a few really choice select things added to the premium level Making the decision pretty easy. We opted for the mid tier which included several cuts of beef, lamb, pork chicken, as well as a lot of fun, add-ins, like fish balls, and tofu, skin, chrysanthemum greens, and more. For broth, I went with the Sichuan spicy medium heat level and frankly I probably could've dialed it up a little bit. As the broth evaporated did get hotter and hotter like it's supposed to and I did have a couple of reactions to the heat as it hit my sinuses, but other than that, it was deliciously tolerable. Now, while we upgraded to the midtier, my favorite cut of meat had to have been the spicy beef and the green chili chicken. Both of these had house marinades or dry seasonings on them that made the meat delicious and added it to the broth as well. But above all that the real shining star here has to be the service. The server was ever present in the most appropriate way possible quick to take an order, and the kitchen was even quicker to get that order to us. The restaurant was completely clean and we were never wanting for more than literally a second. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area if you live in the area and you haven't been, you are seriously missing out. Oh yeah and the shrimp balls are made in house and insanely good!

The beef selection and vegetables were good, but for seafood they only offered fish roe balls, shrimp and mussels. The shrimp being peeled was definitely a plus. Appetizers are only included with the premium AYCE set, which is $78 per person. There's also a sauce bar. I made my sauce the same way I usually do at Seapot and GoGi, but the ponzu was a bit too sour and the sesame sauce was pretty bland. Overall, I wasn't disappointed with the experience, but I don't think this would become one of my go-to hot pot spots.
