    Today we took my granddaughter for her first experience.... She loved it! She was so excited to cook the noodles herself ... AND she was so willing to try new things!! It was a great way to broaden her tastebuds!! She's a new fan!!

    The fact that you can do an all you can eat for $20 and get a Stella Rosa Pierre for $3.49 you can't beat this price. Do not ask for spicy because they say spicy spicy and it blew my weed back and I love spicy food, but it blew my wig back. There is a method to the madness. I suggest you walk around the whole buffet first to see what you do and don't want and then I recommend grabbing one of those lovely black bowls, making your seasoning pallet in that bowl then get another bowl and get your meat and then get another bowl and add your vegetables if you want noodles grab your noodles and then take all of it and cook it and then put your noodles once cooked into the bowl with the seasoning and then you're gonna add your meat and your veggies to that and just toss it up so it's gonna be nice and flavorful and tasty but it was amazing. I had a great time.

    My friend and I decided to dine in at the new, YC Seafood Hotpot on Friday night. We arrived at 6:30pm and it was extremely packed! The wait was 45 mins to an hour but since we really wanted to try it out, we decided to wait the hour. Once we were seated, the server explained the menu to us. We were able to choose a soup base from the variety of different broths they offer. Sushi rolls and skewers were also available for us to order as well. All of the Hot Pot items were located at the buffet along with other hot, food items as well. The buffet included items such as Fried Rice, BBQ Chicken, Fried Shrimp, Chicken Wings, Clams, Crawfish, Oysters and an array of raw items for the Hot Pot. Another area included fresh vegetables, ramen and udon noodles along with a variety of mushrooms. I will say, it was a bit of a balancing act getting all of the items from the buffet area to the table since mostly all the food items were in their own separate dishes. I had to make a few trips back and forth from the buffet. Once we had everything we wanted, we started adding our raw foods like beef and shrimp to the Hot Pot along with our noodles. I chose the Hot & Spicy Base but it tasted like spicy water. My friend chose the Vegetable Base and she enjoyed it. Thankfully, there was also a sauce station near the buffet to create your own sauce, which helped a lot. We ordered a sushi roll along with the chicken skewers but I wasn't a huge fan of either. The Hot Pot was decent but my favorite was the Fried Rice and BBQ Chicken from the buffet. For a limited time, they have a 50% off special offer for 'dine-in' only customers so I'm sure that's what brought the crowds of people out. The restaurant was nice and the servers were pretty friendly but I wasn't a fan of grabbing my own food and drinks. I'm not sure if I would return but definitely stop in and try it out if you're a Hot Pot fan.

    YC recently opened and right now, they have 50% off dine in only until March 19! It is all you can eat hot pot with some hot items on the menu as well as on the buffet. Drinks and desert are included in the pricing. I love that there is a huge variety of seafood, meat, and veggies to add to your hotpot, and it was all very fresh. There are about 6 different base options and a variety of sauces and spices for you to mix in. I like that they give mix in recommendations since I had never done hotpot before. We did the vegetable broth and the fish maw/chicken broth! Both were good, but the fish/chicken was much more flavorful. I also tried the rainbow roll and deep fried salmon tempura roll. The rainbow was great, but the salmon roll had u expected cream cheese in it. The beef skewers were good but were super tiny. Now for the not so good. I did not like that they give you a base but then continue to top it off with hot water. They never give you more of the actual seasoned base. While pouring the extremely hot water, the waitress was getting it all over the table. While she did apologize, she didn't even try to assist in helping with the hot spill. Another thing is buffet hygiene. While all of the ingredients were very fresh, there were lots of kids picking over things, people coughing without covering their mouths, and the drink area was a mess. The floor was soaked and there was spilled soda everywhere (most likely due to the number of unattended children). I don't think children should be allowed to the buffet and drink area unaccompanied, and I think maybe they should keep sanitizer stations close or do more clean up. I had to make myself not think about all the germs lol Overall, I enjoyed my meal and the variety offered. I am not sure I would try it again as a buffet but would definitely do take out depending on how that works. I definitely recommending trying at least once for yourself! It was a fun first time experience especially for my son.

    YC Seafood Hotpot recently opened. They are in the Parkway Plaza Shopping Center. They occupy the space where Happy Buffet and Sushi King once held. My visit here was on February 12, 2026. I had seen signs about this place for a little while. I had also gotten ads in the mail through Valpak about 50% off for the first month, so I figured it would be worth trying this place. I had never done a hot pot place before this visit. Parking wasn't an issue and there is ample parking available in this shopping center. Upon entering the first door, there was a prize game type of thing and the name of the place on the wall. Once entering the second set of doors, we were in the main area for the restaurant now. We were greeted by someone when we came in. He took us on a quick overview of what they had to offer and then went to our table. It wasn't too busy at the time since it was around 2:30 pm. Our server came over to the table and asked us what skewers, hot pot base, and sushi we may want to get. I started with a shrimp skewer and my mom started with the shrimp skewer and beef skewer. You can only order up to two items at a time for that. For the base, I went with the hot and spicy and my mom went with the vegetable one. I tried to ask about how the hot pot works and that type of thing but didn't get an actual answer to it. If anyone knows more about hot pots, feel free to let me know in a chat. They have Pepsi products, tea, and coffee. Drinks are already included in the buffet price. At that point, we went up to the buffet area to get some food there. I went for the Fried Shrimp, Grilled Chicken and a Black Pepper Chicken. There wasn't as much a selection from things that I like. One thing I noticed for the stuff I had gotten from the buffet area, the hot foods weren't that hot. I did say something about to our server and they brought a new set out, but even that new set was lukewarm at best. The stuff coming from the cooking station were always hot though. Overall, this was just an okay experience for me on this visit. I'm not sure I'd want to come in when it goes to full price. The service was okay and I think our server was probably still learning things here during this first month of opening too. There is a 1% surcharge if you pay with a card instead of cash. I think if there was a better explanation of the hot pot and such, it probably would have been a better experience. It's still worth trying this place out though.

    We visited on a Monday evening thinking it wouldn't be busy during a weekday but we were wrong. We waited about 10mins and quickly got seated. We got to glance at the menu for maybe 5mins and rushed to order after being seated as they were taking our order for everything. We then proceeded to grab food items from the bar area both hot and hotpot items. They had a big selection. Lots of hot pot items from seafood, meats and veggies and a sauce bar so you can make your sauces. The drinks are included and I thought boba was but it was just milk tea included no boba balls - milk tea or taro milk tea and then of course the soda and other juices from the fountain. The hot menu items were scarce. They took a while to refill items, some got refilled and some were left empty. We proceeded to eat hot pot while waiting for our order of skewers and sushi rolls but by the end and after ordering sushi twice we never received the sushi rolls we ordered, so that was disappointing. They have a deal right now and it's 50% off so if you want to check it out, I would recommend you go visit now. I don't know about paying full price which is over $30 pp.

    YC Seafood Hotpot offers a spacious dining area with a unique setup that's a little different from your typical buffet experience. When we arrived around 5:15 PM on a Wednesday, we were seated immediately. Even though the restaurant itself feels large, there actually aren't a ton of tables, and the place filled up quickly. Before long, people were waiting all over the restaurant. Some guests were waiting at the bar area, though the bar doesn't serve drinks and you can't eat there. It makes sense once you see the setup since there aren't hotpot burners at the bar, but it was a bit surprising at first. The food selection is impressive. There are lots of meat and seafood options, all laid out buffet-style, along with a good variety of noodles. Everything you choose to cook in your hotpot comes from the buffet, and it's all included in the set price. Just a heads up: the amount of choices can feel a little overwhelming. If you struggle with decision fatigue or executive dysfunction, be prepared to take a moment to figure out what you want. At the table, you order your soup base from the server, and you can also request sushi and grilled skewers, which are brought out separately but are still included in the price. One thing that stood out was how the soup base refills were handled. When the broth got low, it appeared they were simply adding hot water rather than refreshing the flavor. We didn't notice any additional seasoning, broth concentrate, or bouillon being added, so the flavor gradually became more diluted over time. The drink station got messy pretty quickly, mostly from kids refilling drinks and spilling things around. It's self-serve, so it seemed like it was hard for staff to keep up with cleaning it. On the positive side, the raw meats on the buffet were properly covered, which is great from a food safety standpoint. Tongs weren't initially provided at the table, but they were available if you asked for them. Service was about what you'd expect for a buffet--attentive enough without being intrusive. One final note: I don't believe they sell alcohol, in case that matters for your dining plans. Overall, YC Seafood Hotpot is a fun spot if you enjoy interactive dining and having lots of options to choose from. Just be ready for a bit of decision-making and a lively, busy atmosphere once the dinner crowd rolls in.

    The whole food spread at YC Seafood Hot Pot during lunch. Not shown is the soda and boba station. My ratings; Food varieties 10/10 Hot pot soup 5/10. I had the tomato and mushroom soups and both were too bland for me. Hot pot food 10/10 Surprisingly they have a lot of choices including crabs, clams, beef tripe, squid, quail's eggs etc. Sushi station 6/10 You have to order from the server so I ordered a couple and the were just so so. A non spicy wasabi paste sure didnt help. I hope they change the wasabi that they had to a different brand because what they have was bad. Cooked station 8/10 I only had the tempura and they were pretty good and tasty. Soda/boba station 10/10 Other ayce places usually don't include drinks but this place does so that's a huge plus. Sauce station 6/10 Compared to other places, I think they can do better in terms of choices. I went back twice to fix my dipping sauce but just couldn't get the right taste for the hotpot.

    I was afraid of my mind I hyped this place up and it wouldn't be that good. Actually, I don't think I hyped it up enough in my mind! The meat skewers you can order have a bunch of seasoning on it. And it's good! The crazy part is, that was probably my least favorite thing of the night. The hot pot broths were extremely mild. But my kids said she actually like the mushroom better. I like how you can get real wild like chicken feet all the way to french fries. They have a hot bar with soups, cooked Chinese dishes and little things for the kids. Hot pot had meat, seafood organ meats and a bunch of veggies! I like how you can just walk up, get a plate of what you want and enjoy. I also really enjoyed the sauce bar! I love sauce. Bubble tea flavors without the bubbles. Little ice creams at the end. This place was totally awesome. Service was pretty quick. It was actually really busy. Do I still think it will be worth it when it's not half off? Yes! I got a feeling we'll be eating here more often. Highly recommend

    YC Seafood Hotpot is amazing! Located in the Parkway Plaza shopping center, it used to be Happy Buffet then Sushi King but I hope it lasts as this hot pot buffet that also has hot prepared food offerings, skewers, & fresh sushi. Drinks (soft drinks, tea, milk tea variations with boba are available from a soda fountain & other pitchers) & to go ice cream are also included. Rony was our waiter & they were very attentive & made sure to answer any questions & was very helpful. Actually everyone who worked there was very nice. It's undergone quite a renovation & is a very open, modern space with fun lights & modern decor. I was surprised there wasn't more people there. We took advantage of the half off til February 19 deal & came in on a Tuesday around 8pm & were one of maybe four or five other groups finishing up. For an AYCE buffet & hot pot under $20, it's definitely a deal you can't beat. We are going to try to go again to take advantage of the deal & see if they have different bar offerings.

    This place is worth the money!! We went during a 50% promo but even when it's full price, I think it's worth the money. They have SUSHI, SKEWERS, HOTPOT, and a whole row of HOT FOODs including crabs, seafood boil, and shrimp tempuras! It was incredible!! They had everything possible for Hotpot meats and veggies! I think the sauce area needs improvement but other than that, it was great! Things were pretty busy so service was a little slow... you can order skewers and sushi only through the waiters. Maybe they could use an iPad system in the future! The place is huge and it was clean! I'll definitely be coming back!

    I came here for dinner at it was $28 pp for the ayce on a weekend. This included a free fountain drink or self serve boba, sushi including sashimi, and other buffet items. For the hot pot broth I got tomato, hot and spicy, chicken seafood , and a pork. Out of those my favorite were the hot and spicy then tomato the other two were just alright. There were a good amount of sauces to use and make. Meat selection was good, I just wished they served it in a big tray rather than pre-portioned which were quite small (had to grab multiple trays of the same meats). The sashimi was quite good! Staff were friendly and did an excellent job of removing plates from the table. Note there is a 1% credit card fee which is better than other restaurants that charge 2-4% fees. The inside was clean and looked good. Overall I was very happy with my visit and would come back again! Food(50%): 7.4 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 9.3 Overall: 8.0/10

    We tried YC Seafood and Hotpot after seeing a post about their recent opening and were pleasantly surprised at the selection of different menu items. From traditional hotpot faire to AYCE sushi and a generous selection of seafood (including king crab legs), YC Seafood casts a wide net for all types of eaters. The meats and greens are packed on individual plates, making it difficult to control portioning. Otherwise, we had a great experience and will definitely return! FYI: fountain drinks, boba, and tea are included in the base price, but it is self service!

    So I was staying at a little hotel on the beach and I decided to be lazy and just order from…read moreDoorDash. That was my mistake. DoorDash is so expensive and a complete rip off. That being said, I ordered from Sushi Vice. I'm not hating it. Before I placed my order with DoorDash, I actually called the restaurant and requested that they include cups of soy sauce and chopsticks, etc., because I was staying in the hotel. I only did this because if you order off DoorDash's menu, you cannot include Notes to the restaurant. It's ridiculous. With all that being said, I could not believe it when my order arrived it was exactly as I requested. It's not really a sushi joint. It's more of an Asian fusion type place and they have a very limited menu, but what they do have is very, very good. I highly recommend trying that beef fried rice thing. I've included a picture of it. It was freaking awesome. You won't be disappointed, but I would strongly suggest going to the restaurant and you'll probably even have a better meal. The next time I'm in Virginia Beach, which is quite often I'll probably just drop in to the restaurant myself.

    First time here, and I was expecting a little bit more, especially with all the reviews and hype…read morearound this place. Sushi Vice has a retro beach vibe to it. The dining area inside is small, but it can still accommodate maybe one big group. There's also outdoor seating available. We came for an early dinner on a weekday, and it started getting busy pretty quickly. They were able to accommodate our large party inside since we had little kids with us, though we did have to split into two tables. Since we had small kids, the menu doesn't really cater much to them aside from the fried rice, but they were able to make a non-spicy version upon request.

    Have you been to this spot in Virginia Beach where you can enjoy both ramen and sushi?…read more It was raining pretty heavily on the day I visited, but the staff was so kind and told us that we could take our time before heading out. That small gesture made us feel really welcomed! I didn't try the sushi this time, but I ordered the ramen and takoyaki. The takoyaki was unfortunately a little cold, but it was still tasty. The ramen came in a generous portion and was really satisfying! This was completely my own money, and I always like sharing my honest experience. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely consider coming back!

    I've been on the hunt for a good ramen spot--and after a few disappointing tries, I finally found…read moreit. Osaka Ramen and Sushi really exceeded my expectations. I ordered the spicy umami miso ramen with tofu, karaage, and a soft-boiled egg, and it was absolutely delicious--rich, comforting, and full of flavor. I'll admit I went a little overboard with the add-ons, but I was just too excited and couldn't resist. It's a hidden gem tucked into a shopping center and easy to miss from the main road, but there's plenty of parking and once you're inside it's much more spacious than it looks. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and everything came out fresh. Prices were very reasonable too, especially for the portion sizes and quality. There's also a wide menu beyond ramen, so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more. Before leaving, I grabbed a brown sugar boba milk tea too. I was already full, so I saved it for later--but even then, it was still really good. Overall, a great first experience--I'll definitely be returning!

I was greeted and seated immediately despite there being a fee people in front of me. I had an attentive waiter who did a wonderful job. I loved the edamame and the cucumber salad! Both were served perfectly! I loved how nicely they plated the sushi rolls. The extra touch went a long ways! I also order Strawberry mochi. All in all, I had a great experience here and will be back again to try different rolls!

    Coming from New York, where hibachi restaurants are everywhere, I was surprised at how difficult it…read morewas to find one in the Virginia Beach area. We decided to give Saruki Japanese Hibachi a try on a weeknight and were seated after only about a five-minute wait. One thing we really enjoyed was having the hibachi table to ourselves. Unlike many hibachi experiences where you're seated with other parties, it was just my family, which made for a more relaxed dinner. Our chef was entertaining without being over the top, and the cooking was done well. The steak and scallops were both cooked perfectly, which we appreciated. The meal came with the standard vegetables, although we noticed there were no bean sprouts, which are common at many hibachi restaurants in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. We also missed the traditional dipping sauces that usually accompany hibachi meals. Instead, we were served a mayo-based sauce that wasn't really to our taste. The staff was happy to provide Sriracha when requested, which helped. Service was decent, and the food was good overall. However, with restaurant prices being what they are today, the experience didn't quite stand out enough for us to make a return visit. It wasn't a bad meal by any means--just one that ultimately felt a bit forgettable. This version comes across as fair and constructive while still explaining why you likely won't be back.
