    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    All you can eat Premium

    My son took me to Seapot in Sacramento for Mother's Day dinner, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. He paid for the all-you-can-eat premium KBBQ for our party of five, along with drinks, and spent well over $300 for the evening. We ordered three rounds of food, and during the third round, we were still actively eating and still had food on our plates when a server came over and asked us to leave. We were all shocked because we had clearly not finished our meal. What made the situation even more upsetting was that there were other parties there who had been seated longer than us, yet no one approached them or asked them to leave. The way we were treated made us feel singled out and uncomfortable. As a family, we left feeling embarrassed, hurt, and honestly questioning whether racism played a role in how we were treated because we were African American. Mother's Day was supposed to be a special evening with my family, but instead we left disappointed and in shock. Sadly, after this experience, I would not return.

    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.

    Can't pass up a good lunch deal. They have a $21.99 lunch deal. It's extra if you want both hot pot and Korean bbq. We opted for just hot pot. Their lunch menu is slightly limited. They only offer what's on the conveyor belt. Used to love the lucky bag and enoki mushrooms but they're only available during dinner now. Service was quick. Can't go wrong with the beef toro. I love their Thai pot. You can also go to the sauce bar to create your own sauce concoctions. Feeling daring? Try something spicy or mix and match. There's also just ponzu or even sesame oil. A little bit of something for everyone. I do like that they serve sides like kimchi, japchae, and more. Once you're finished with your meal, you can divulge in some desserts such as pastries and/or fruits.

    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.

    I loved going to the seapot in sj, so was super excited when sac opened a seapot! This location is also pretty enormous with many tables for huge parties. We went on a Friday night around 7:30PM and only had to wait about 10 mins! They do have the online waitlist to check wait times though if it does get busy. Seapot is ayce. You order meat and beverages through your server and then any extra ingredients you can retrieve from the revolving conveyor belt. I like seapot but I realized that if you have a party bigger than 4, it can be a bit inconvenient to grab plates for people that can't reach the conveyor since it's only on one side. I like the idea but the downside is that other tables may take a plate before it reaches you and I've noticed that some of the ingredients aren't super fresh. Seapot does have a sauce bar and a some hot food items available as appetizers! The staff were attentive and checked up on my table pretty frequently. Plenty of parking since it's located in a plaza. Definitely recommend coming here for lunch since prices are a lot more affordable!

    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!

    Unfiltered water. Definitely still has that "from the kitchen sink" taste.
    Echosaisis A.

    I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars, but if I had to round, I'd round it up to a 4. You will not find a better value for AYCE hotpot food in the area. Pros: The best deal in town, and this can't be stressed enough, for hotpot and Korean bbq add on for $5.00, during lunchtime. Huge flatscreen tv (like what is that, 200, 300 inches? Might even be several huge tv's all coordinated together for one large viewing) Option to have your own separate hotspot instead of sharing a huge one. Good for allergies and vegans/vegetarians. Cons: Ok, two but they were pretty influential to our entire experience. The water is not filtered. It tastes literally right out of your kitchen sink. The water hardness in Sacramento is pretty damn high, so this is very noticeable. So gross, no way around that. But at least it's not going to make us sick. Our waitperson was absent quite often. From the moment we got our menus, the waitperson showed up close to 20 minutes later. You've got 90 minutes all together from the time you're sat. Each time we placed an order except for two times, we had to stop our waitperson from trying to run by our table without checking in. They checked in on us twice in that entire time on their own. They were very absent and our "90 minutes" went by so fast, because truly, we didn't get 90 minutes to enjoy ourselves. They seemed super fast to drop off our check, though! The Japchae noodles were tough. They aren't supposed to be tough. The food was fresh, we didn't get sick, and the ambient temperature wasn't too hot or too cold. I'm on the fence about coming back.

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.

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.

I was only one of two patrons when I arrived shortly after they opened, so it was easy for me to take my time making my choices. They have a pretty comprehensive selection, and everything is super fresh and kept to proper holding temperatures. I already really liked that the price for the broths and the dry pot was the same, since usually the dry pot costs at least $1 more at other locations. I'm not a dry pot kind of person, but my husband is, and he was pleased to hear this as well. The classic bone broth only has one spice level, but I didn't mind since I like spicy. While I waited for my food, I checked out the sauce bar, which had a good variety as well. It didn't take long for my steaming hot bowl of Malatang to arrive, and everything was cooked perfectly. I also ordered a passion fruit green tea w/ boba (they are currently running a 50% off promo), and that was very refreshing without being overly sweet, and paired perfectly with my meal. I ended up doing around 1.6 lbs (which is a little more than my usual portion), so I had a good amount of leftovers for another delicious meal at home the next day. Can't wait to come back and build my next bowl of Malatang soon! That's the beauty of Malatang, every time you can create a different bowl depending on how you're feeling that day.

I will note that the ingredient selection felt a bit more limited compared to some other Malatang spots I have been to, but there were still plenty of good options available. The interior itself felt similar to a typical restaurant with simple white walls and white tables. Once you finish filling your bowl, you bring it to the front where they weigh it and charge you based on the total weight. You can then choose your soup base and spice level before they prepare everything and bring it back to your table. While waiting, you can head over to the sauce bar to make your own dipping sauce and grab some fruit. I will say the fruit options felt a little limited since they only had grapes available during my visit. Once the food came out, it tasted great and I really enjoyed the flavor of the dry base. One of the best parts of Malatang is getting to customize exactly what goes into your meal, and this place still delivers on that experience. Overall, I consistently find myself coming back here whenever I want a satisfying meal with a good amount of customization options.
