HOWPOT

I would recommend this place for the lunch special *$29.95* ALL YOU CAN EAT (weekend include) (12-4pm) *as long as you enjoy and check out before 4pm, you are good for lunch special* It was more spacious than what i saw on the review & TikTok. First of all, the owner & staff were all so sweet! You basically order everything from the tablet! They have dimsum, rice, fruits, sauce bar, coffee, beverages (soda&green tea) all included. Even though it was our first time trying hotpot in this place, it was pretty self explained, easy to follow. The ingredients are fresh as well! Would I come back here? Absolutely! But only for lunch special!

I recently visited HowPot, a personal hot pot and grill restaurant, and had a great experience from start to finish. The lunch price was $29.95 (even on weekends, when it was only slightly higher at $32.95), which I found very reasonable for what they offer. The food was delicious, fresh, and came out surprisingly quickly. I really liked that each person gets their own pot and grill setup, making it easy to cook everything exactly the way you want. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. They also offer free drinks, a free sauce bar, and even fresh fruit, which made the meal feel like an even better value. Overall, HowPot is a great spot if you’re looking for good food, fast service, and a fun personal hot pot experience. I’d definitely go back!

It was pretty yummy. We had most of the meats, fun to bbq and hot pot. Man I need to practice my hotpot skills. Staff was present and polite. Quick service place. $30 for all you can eat for 90min. You can make it worth it. All you can drink sodas, delicious sauce bar. I’d come back. Wish they had carrots or onion for the hot pot lol

Great concept restaurant, very hospitable staff in a huge general portions! If you love hot pot and barbecue, this is the perfect spot for you. Their sides are fresh and come in. They will offer you complimentary drinks and complimentary treats.Prior to ordering your food! Nice clean restaurant! Great coupon incentive to return, we certainly planned on it!

Service was amazing we got seated very quickly and they were always ready to assist. We ordered a lot of dishes and it all came out really fast. It was very chill inside not too chaotic and I enjoyed the music playing. Food overall was great as well, the broth i had wasn't my favorite but I'm hoping to try a different one next time! With gratuity and tip it ended up being about $52 for 5 people.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. You get delicious authentic hot pot plus a side of KBBQ. We chose the all-you-can-eat for about $30 a person. The meat was fresh and they had incredible quality cuts. All you can eat hot pot, bbq, plus sauce, drinks, and ice cream. Service was also great - they checked on us often and keep the restaurant very clean.

If you’re looking for the best all-you-can-eat hot pot and BBQ in Seattle, this place is a must-try. Guests can enjoy both hot pot and Korean BBQ, along with drinks, ice cream, shrimp, and authentic Taiwanese rice. The quality is excellent, and the value is unbeatable at $29.XX for lunch and $39.XX for dinner. Truly one of the top AYCE hot pot and BBQ restaurants in Seattle.

A solid place for some hot pot and bbq. Each individual gets their own pot and little grill. This was great as we wanted to grill some meats as well have hot pot. They do have a good selection of food to choose from. They have a sauce station where you can make your own dipping sauce. They also have a beverage area (pick your own soda or ice tea) as well as a fruit station and ice cream (drumsticks) that you can get. The service was friendly and attentive. It was a good experience and the value was worth it.

Looked for a AYCE hot pot place on a whim & found this place! You order off an iPad like most places & the staff is super attentive and quick to bring you your items! The actual place is pretty clean + the bussers are super quick to clean up other finished tables. The current price as of today is $39.95!) They're actually AYCE hot pot + kbbq w/ a big sauce bar (with literally any type of sauce? They even have maggi and fish sauce!), included soft drink or tea, ice cream bars, slushee's, dessert + taro sago! Which was an absolute surprise bc I didn't read any of the reviews prior to coming in. They have a pretty big selection of meats for both hot pot & kbbq, as well as fried foods like fries + chicken wing and also dim sum if you're looking for that. Plus I felt that the meat was pretty good quality too! The only thing is that ai feel like they're lacking a tiiiiny bit in the vegetable department, only 4 leafy greens & one of them is lettuce (probably for the kbbq?, I'd love to see a bigger variety like a choy, broccoli .. etc) BUT all things aside, I'd totally recommend this place if you're looking for a quick and easy hot pot night w/ all the fixings.

Concept is good for hotpot and grilling at a table, with wax paper that is easy to replace when burned. Lot of napkins. Service is great! Food options are plentiful when using the tablet. Time limit of 90-minute food to devour Cheap lunch at 29.95$.

Here you get dim sum, hot pot AND KBBQ all in one place, and in AYCE fashion too! Too bad I came during dinnertime around 5pm on a Friday and didn't get any dim sum for this review... or I just didn't see it when I was walking around the sauce bar :( My group of 4 got seated really fast since the place was virtually empty when we got in, though it filled up almost completely by the time we were finished eating. There's tons of tables strewn about, and K-pop was playing in the background, mostly music from TWICE. Each person gets their own hot pot and grill in front of them, and you order anything you want through a tablet, while you grab your sauces and desserts up at a self-serve bar near the back. I remember this place used to be another hot pot place, or my memory's just foggy since I don't really hit up this stretch of Chinatown very often. At the start, we all got to choose a flavor of slushie. While all my friends chose strawberry (they all said theirs was good), I got the Coke slushie, which was essentially Coke in slush form which I was pretty satisfied with. We got a variety of meats - lamb, chicken, pork belly and sausages, most of which were for our hot pots - and veggies - cabbage, enoki mushrooms, regular mushrooms, kimchi, and others. Most meats we got were for our hotpots, with only two of them being solely for the grill. As for soup bases, I got the regular house special beef soup base along with another friend, and my other two friends got their spicy mala soup base. That base made a mess of my linen shirt but I guess that's how you know they're seriously delicious, and how spicy works with almost anything here. Personal non-meat favorites were the lotus root (fresh and crunchy), the crab sticks (which fell apart easily but was tender) and enoki mushrooms. All this came to about $40 per person, which is on the pricier end but we were all full and made it worth our money. General meat quality was nothing eye-opening but it works. This is Chinatown, so parking is a doozy; street parking is advised but is hard to come across especially during peak hours. I'll come back at a later time to get their dim sum, vanilla soft serve and some of their other sides.

This is a great all-in-one spot if you're craving both BBQ and hot pot at the same time! There are up to four grills per table, and the unlimited options make it easy to find something for everyone, drinks, meats, noodles, side dishes, and delicious ice cream. The service is quick and friendly, and the ambiance is clean and comfortable. One of my go-to spots when I can't decide what I want for dinner.

Hot pot and grill in one go, decent menu options with all the important items available. Think I ate the thin sliced short rib meat the most. Even in a busy night, servers felt present and aware of us. Sauce bar is free to mix, no guide on recommendations though. Drinks included on AYCE menu are the usual sodas and bottled tea. Not the most premium of offerings but for the price they charge, this place provides plenty enough. I believe we paid $355 after tax and tip for 6 people.

Came here for lunch on a weekend. This place is an AYCE place that includes options for: dim sum, Korean bbq and hot pot items. It also includes non-alcoholic drinks, some various snacks and ice cream. The price we paid was $30 per person, which is a great deal! I enjoyed the Korean bbq the most here, they had a good amount of different choices. The dim sum is minimal, but it included what I usually get at dim sum, which are bbq pork buns and shrimp dumplings. For hot pot, you still have a few different broths to choose from and veggies. I like the system they created for your eating space, that makes it easy to enjoy everything at once. I enjoyed this place and would definitely come back here.

Very fresh veggies and meats are of pretty good quality. Set ayce price includes everything, including soft drinks. No alcohol being served at this place. I like that you get your own pot and griddle (you're supposed to grill over the piece of parchment paper and replace that with another sheet once that's charred enough). We had people with dietary restrictions in our party and they were very accommodating. Everything is ordered through their tablet. Self-serve condiments in a central location. There's a giant pot of rice. I can't believe I missed out on the braised pork though. It smelled and looked really good. If you order any of their dim sum selections, they only come in a single piece. The restaurant is pretty strict about setting their 90 minute time limit. Overall, we had a fun and very full experience. Will come back one of these days.

Wandered here during my last trip to Seattle and was pleasantly surprised with everything here! We visited on a Thursday night and while we didn't have to wait for a table, almost all the tables were filled. This is a mix of shabu AND kbbq right at your table. You order all the broth, meats, veggies, and sides on your table's iPad and they bring it to your table. We ordered quite a lot and they had a side cart to put additional food on. There was a robust sauce bar that you can mix together to create your perfect personalized dipping sauce. There's also a nice display of various fruits (we had watermelon, lychee, and grapes) and rice with braised meat. To our surprise, they even had a huge fridge of drinks (sodas, diet soda, green tea, etc). Everything was so tasty and service was excellent! At the end, they even offered soft serve ice cream cones.

Alrightyyy, word of caution of eating here ~ be prepared to multi task since you'll be cooking BOTH hot pot and KBBQ at the same time :) For those who enjoy both hot pot and KBBQ, definitely would suggest coming to How Pot. With an all you can eat for both options, this chaotic but yummy experience is worth it. Things to note: Parking: Limited street parking. If you can't find a spot, there is a public paid lot behind the building with reasonable rates. Reservations: If you have a large group, would suggest putting in a reservation, especially on weekend evenings Interior: Modern and chic. For the table format, smaller groups would be easier. For my group of 5, we had some minor difficulty in sharing food due to the limited shelf / surface space area. Service: a little slow but friendly staff Food Layout: Self Serve! 1. Sauce Bar: There is a standard sauce bar to make your hot pot sauce PLUS premade sauces for your KBBQ 2. Misc Sauce Area: If you're looking for soy sauce or other sauce, make sure to look at the random sauce bar area to the side. All the other sauces are stored in bottles 3. Drinks Area: You can grab your own drink like soda, tea and etc 4. Rice: If you fancy some rice, grab a bowl and serve yourself Hot Pot 1. Broth: Had the tomato flavor and it was ok. Not as flavorful compared to other places. 2. Ingredients: Ordered a variety of veggies and meat and overall, good quality! Also, meat quantity was plentiful so be careful to not over order KBBQ 1. Ingredients: Rather limited in the options offered. Wish there were more side dishes that are traditional to KBBQ and meat selections was rather slim 2. Meat Quality: hit or miss. One of the pork belly tasted a bit odd but overall, most of the other meats tasted ok 3. Dimsum: Did try some shu mai (shrimp and pork dumplings) and it was meh. Would suggest saving room for the hot pot or KBBQ! Overall, if I'm craving for both options, would swing by here again as the price is pretty affordable.

First time trying and had a great experience. Johnny our waiter walked us through the process and set us up. Wide variety of choices for both hot pot and bbq and all fresh and quality options. Fun and simple cooking in reach. Give them a try.

We stumbled upon this place after seeing a video on TikTok. We visited on a Wednesday evening around 6pm. We got seated right away with no wait. The service was great, they explained to us how everything works and gave us the IPad to order. First off, the parking situation is limited. There is slim to none street parking. There is a paid lot next to the building. Pros: great service, cool concept with hot pot and bbq, great sauce bar, ability to grab own drinks and ACYE option. Cons: the limited selection of meats to bbq, the quality of the food and the paper always burning on the bbq grill. I only grilled short ribs on my personal grill but had the wax paper/parchment paper changed 3 time. Overall this new place was a great experience but would not die or crave to come back. Good to check it out for first timers.

Can't decide if you want to do hotpot or kbbq? Why not both? This is a great spot for AYCE hotpot and kbbq. I love that each person has their own hotpot and grill - more hygienic and you can get your preferred broth. It's great that it's AYCE as well, including the drinks and soft serve ice cream. Note that when you order items, they have really small portions but that could be advantageous because you can try more things before getting full. The meat quality is decent, considering their AYCE rate is quite affordable. The service was good too, they were quite attentive and are good at taking away empty plates.

Do you like dim sum? Hot pot? AND kbbq? Look no further, Seattle finally has its very own triple threat, HOW Pot. With all three options you can't be bored and all of your food desires met. Food - Large selection of food. Good quality ingredients. Drinks and ice cream included in the AYCE price. Sauce bar is complementary. Service - Fast service and helpful employees. Ambiance - High vaulted ceilings, each person gets their own soup and burner. Clean bathroom and clean tables. P.s. It might be overstimulating at first but take it slow and you'll figure it out!

The Service was quick and very polite, the food was delicious the one thing I noticed was fruit flies all over the fruit area.

TLDR: really delicious and worth the price ($30 lunch time). Not great for dates - hard to talk over the food between you and cooking your own meals. Service was AWESOME. Very clean, looks new, and a lot of space. Heard about this and thought it'd be the best of both worlds for couples or groups who can't agree on kbbq vs hot pot. Mushroom broth: very flavorful, great with noodles and to drink on its own. Spicy beef tallow: not much flavor undertone (unsalted) , can choose your own level of spice. The difference between lunch and dinner besides the price is the amount of side dishes that are available (I'm speculating bc I've only been this once). There is a whole area for side dishes that was empty when we went (which was right at opening on a Wednesday). Service was a highlight ! They cleared empty dishes almost immediately and after a water spill, they came and helped us right away. Ordering is done from an iPad at each table. There is also a selection of canned beverages and soft serve for dessert ! Y they have other dessert selections a part of the AYCE as well. Would definitely go back if someone came to town to visit !

Plenty of tasty options. Good quality short rib and hot pot meats. The fish ball options were unique and delicious. Attentive staff and we appreciate the many drinks available and the small soft serve at the end.

Can't go wrong with hotpot and bbq! I enjoy this combo very much. Great from groups, but just be mindful of the waitlist.

Finally, the answer to so many arguments - should we eat KBBQ or hotpot? Now I can have both! Although it's only their soft opening, HOWpot is already one of my new favorite spots. For about $35/adult, I love the options that I get - a good variety of broths as well as different meats, veggies, and sides for either bbq or hotpot. They also have cool drink options, cold snack items like spicy pig ear and spicy beef, a delicious hot bar with great dimsum and fried options, and a sauce bar for DIY dipping sauces. Service was amazing; our server was friendly and attentive, and everything came out quickly. We came on a Wednesday around lunch time and I was surprised at how busy it remained.

They seated us right away!!! I haven't had hot pot in years, so got so excited to try this again!!! It was a wonderful choice to eat for dinner because I missed lunch and was starving. The servers were super nice and accommodating to my lack of knowledge. The meats were fresh and the vegetables were cut beautifully. I really loved the food bar too! The place had lots of decorative accents and a huge screen TV in which they played K-pop music on! Fun! Thank you! I'll be back! Great parking next door. Clean restrooms!

Came on a Tuesday night and there was no wait, although there weren't too many empty tables. Overall for the price, I'd say it's very worth it! They had a lot of options in the self serve area. The dim sum was pretty good for an AYCE place. The fried foods were all very crispy and fresh. Fruits were sweet refreshing. The meat quality itself was also pretty good! A good selection of meats, seafood, veggies to choose from. I think the broth does the job, but nothing too special. Maybe I need to try a different one because I got the bone broth and heard the spicy is better. I have heard the wait can get really long in the weekends so I might not come at those hours, but I would definitely come back here!

Came here around 1:30 pm on a Sunday thinking we waited out the lunch crowd. It turns out we were stuck waiting for the lunch crowd. It took 45 minutes before we got seated. We were starving so it would have been nice to have some snacks while we waited. The service was quick but they won't tell you what you are receiving as they serve it. The bbq portion was alright but it took forever to cook. The hot pot side was good flavors. The meats here were great quality and we loved the seasonings. For drinks, wished they had sparkling water. They also have a ice cream machine for dessert which we loved. It is hectic here. I would come back but give it some time. There was a lot of seating when we were done near 4. Parking can be found on the street or paid lots across the street.

Came here with a party of 5 on a Tuesday evening (5:30ish) and got seated right away. Which was a pleasant surprise since I read that it takes a very long time to get seated. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we got there but by 7pm it was pretty packed. The restaurant itself has a fun ambiance. They played a lot of kpop which I love - they definitely know their audience haha. Food was great. You order from a tablet and the food gets brought out to you. I ordered the house broth and it was packed with flavor. There's also a lot of options for hotpot/grilling and everything I ate was tasty. They also have appetizers, ice cream, and dim sum - all very good as well. My only complaint is that the grill is pretty small and there's no drainage, so the oil kind of pools. Definitely coming back.

I ate here yesterday with a friend. The HOW Pot gets a 2/5 rating for me. Here's my review breakdown: Pros: - Soft opening price is $29.99--a steal if you're on a budget. - Everyone gets their own hot pot, so no sharing! The table setup isn't super spacious, but it's stackable, which works. - The treats at the front desk are fire--Recess, chocolates, and mints are a nice touch. - You can trust the soda quality since it comes from can. - They offer both BBQ and hot pot, which is a cool combo. Cons: - The host, an older guy, is pretty rude. Customer service is lacking--he clearly doesn't care, but to be fair, he's probably just doing his job. Not a huge deal, but it sets the tone - The app they use for the waitlist is buggy and unreliable, which makes the wait unnecessarily frustrating. Why How Pot is a whole lotta mid: - Only come here if you're starving and don't care much about quality. The best way to describe it is, the food quality for college kids--don't expect it to compare to Haidilao or Dollar Shop. - It's decent for what it is, but we left unsatisfied despite being hungry when we arrived. Not worth the 2 hour wait. In short, I will not be coming back to this place

Hotpot and bbq, talk about the best of both worlds. HOW Hotpot seems to have mix reviews, and I understand why. I had gone with three other people for lunch on a weekday, practically when they opened. We were seated right way. They do have their own waitlist system , so get your name on there asap, especially if you have a large party. I was amazed with the set up. Everyone gets their own individual hotpot as well as mini grill plate. There is enough space plus an extra side table for items ordered or dirty dishes. Ordering from the tablet was easy and quick. The sauce bar was labeled and laid out. They even had prepared portioned dips for you to take to your table. Then cold food section was good. Not too much variety. Like seaweed salad, cut fruit, kimchi and meat salads. But with everything else available, it was enough. The hot food section had 4 steamed dim sum items, deep fried items like shrimp spring rolls, chicken wings, and deep fried buns with condensed milk. Unfortunately the ice cream machine was down (maybe they only turn it on for dinner?), and the espresso machine is only good for pulling shots but no hot latte options. You could use the condensed milk and a few creamers if you need that milky goodness. The staff was on top of everything, including water refill, soup refill, changing out the parchment paper when your grill gets too gooky, and taking way empty dishes. The quality of every was good. I like how you can interchange items to either go on the grill or in your hotpot. They do limit your stay to 90 minutes. And sometimes keeping track of the time can escape you. So I can see why most of the complains are for hour long waits. Do go on a weekday to avoid longer wait times on the weekends.

All-in-one delicious experience -- hot pot, dim sum, KBBQ, and good vibes! This place was such a fun surprise! They have everything -- Korean barbecue, hot pot, dim sum, dessert, and even unlimited drinks. It really feels like you can have every craving met in one visit. We went during a holiday soft opening, and even then, the service and food were fantastic. The music collection was great -- full of nostalgic songs that made the atmosphere feel alive -- but my only wish is that they'd display the artist or song title somewhere. The music was that good, and I would've loved to add a few tracks to my playlist without pulling out my phone in the middle of my meal. What I loved most is that you actually have the freedom to enjoy your food without feeling rushed. There's no strict timer -- you finish at your own pace, which makes the whole experience feel relaxing and intentional. It's nice to be able to eat, talk, and take it all in without being hurried along. They even have old-school video games -- total bonus! And I didn't mind paying for parking at all since there's no time limit; I could just relax, eat, and soak it all in. This spot is absolutely worth visiting again -- great food, good music, and a whole lot of heart.

A solid place for some hot pot and bbq. Each individual gets their own pot and little grill. This was great as we wanted to grill some meats as well have hot pot. They do have a good selection of food to choose from. They have a sauce station where you can make your own dipping sauce. They also have a beverage area (pick your own soda or ice tea) as well as a fruit station and ice cream (drumsticks) that you can get. The service was friendly and attentive. It was a good experience and the value was worth it.

Finally a place in Seattle where you can get hot pot and kbbq in one place- plus dim sum! We went during soft opening so the wait was a bit long but got our table after an hour. Everyone gets their own small hot pot and grill. You order what you want on the iPad. Food: they have a good selection of meat, seafood, veggies, noodle and rice you can order for both hot pot and/or grilling. Meat is pretty good quality for the price and they give you big portions each round. There's a dim sum (shrimp dumpling, siu mai, buns) and appetizer bar (tempura prawns, egg rolls, chicken wings). Plus a sauce bar that's included in the price. Also unlimited drinks like coffee, tea, soda and ice cream at the end. Price: $39.99 per person for dinner which is pretty comparable to other AYCEs in Seattle Service: they were busy but the staff were still very attentive and quick

You will probably need to pay for street parking during the day. Try this for the first time. Staff was super friendly. I loved having the option of both hot pot and barbecue. Selections of meat were very good. Of course, recommend the Wagyu and the short ribs. It's nice that you don't have to pay extra for making your own dipping sauce. Also, try their cooked stew next to the white rice at the counter. The place was clean and not very busy for late lunch on a weekday. Great experience!

I saw this place on social media and so glad my husband and I came to try it. We both love KBBQ and Hot Pot so this was perfect for us. They have unlimited sodas which is awesome and a great sauce bar. They have ice cream but when we went (which was close to closing), they didn't have any. We were too full for it! The service was super quick and friendly. Definitely will be back whenever we are in the area.

It was just okay. We went on a Thursday for lunch at 12:30, and we got there just before the lunch rush, so we got seated right away. The service is fast and the restaurant is clean. As for the food, we tried all the meats. The quality is okay. It's not the highest quality meat we've had for hot pot/kbbq, and only some things tasted really good. The sliced meats were fine and we really liked the short rib, but the worst thing we had was the seasoned beef. It was extremely bland for something that's seasoned. It's also kind of hard to get flavor using the grill instead of the hot pot, since it's hard to get a char on the meat. The rest of the food was okay, but there was almost no tempura or dim sum when we went, and all the desserts were sold out, including no sugar for the cotton candy machine. I'd say if you wanted to try it, go for lunch instead of dinner, because waiting and the price aren't worth it for dinner. Even though this is an ayce place, after one round my friends and I weren't full, but we really didn't want to eat more, because we just didn't like the taste enough to keep eating. It cost us $38 per person for lunch, including tax and tip.

Weekday Lunch $29.95 Weekday Dinner $42.95 Weekend All day $42.95 Price includes full access to sauce bar, appetizers, sides, unlimited fountain drinks, coffee, and ice cream. They also have wagyu and premium short rib! Spicy beef fried rice was delicious You get your own personal hot pot bowl and small grill for barbecue. Great service and fun vibes! Located next to the Meet Fresh in the Chinese international district.

AYCE hot pot, Korean barbeque, dim sum, and other hot bar items. Took us long enough to establish a hot pot and KBBQ fusion in Washington. Not quite like the ones in other states, but amazing in a different way. Each person gets their own hot pot and grill rather than being a shared experience. Most items are flexible for either hot pot or grilling, but there are two or three meats that they recommend a specific cooking method. Insanely attentive service! Order items to cook through an iPad (pictured attached) and self serve everything else that's already edible. Stumbled upon this Yelp page after there was an hour wait at our original plan. Always fun to run into a new spot when I visit town. I was skeptical after reading the reviews and not seeing information on Google or social media. Happy to share that everything is legit. Price is a bit high but I think it's warranted. Plus there's something for everyone, especially for the picky eaters or indecisive friends. Parking is in Chinatown so it can be rough. There's a paid public parking area right next door which saves a lot of hassle. The dim sum portion consists of four items, shrimp dumplings (har gow), siu mai, salted egg yolk custard buns, and a fourth bun that looks like char siu bao but not positive. Hot bar includes shrimp tempura, fried chicken wings, popcorn chicken, and fried pork. There's also an assortment of vegetables, salad bar items, and fruit. Sauce bar is also available. For dessert, they offer soft serve (vanilla and chocolate), cotton candy, and steamed buns with condensed milk. Soda is included in the price, they have a good selection of soft drinks and tea. For any coffee enjoyers, they also have a fancy coffee machine, which I did not experience as I dined in late. Vanilla soft serve was watered down and tasted light like soy milk but the chocolate was much more flavorful. Popcorn chicken and fried pork were a bit dry, but the chicken wings and tempura were fantastic. All of the wagyu meats were fatty and delicious but it's worth trying all the other cuts as well. I was a bigger fan of grilling for the fattiness but it gets pretty oily without a drain (replacement grill paper at each table).

I'm not sure if this place is still in "Soft Opening" but that's what the waitlist said when we came in. TLDR low quality for $40 per person, and barely any meats to choose from. I'd go to Happy Lamb for hotpot instead, and a specific AYCE kbbq for more selection and better meats. Pros: Little-to-no wait time Staff was very nice Order at the table on an iPad Tons of napkins Cute setup Sukiyaki Broth delicious Veggies were fresh Self-serve sodas and teas Self-serve shaved ice and condiments Beef tongue was good First round of wagyu was delicious Cons: Everything was cheap quality Unseasoned hotpot broth for the Beef Tallow, no depth of flavor. Adding condiments couldn't fix it. Only a few real choices of meat for bbq, and what we got was bad, cheap galbi shortrib with store-bought marinade taste Sauce bar was very watered down After the first round of meat, all the selections are significantly lower quality meats Lotus was woody and old, I boiled it for at least 15 minutes on high No side dishes Corn was waxy-tasting (how do you mess up corn??) Water cups are TINY. Like really tiny! I have a pic next to my key fob for comparison. Careful if you're eating spicy here, they give you a jug but you'll be constantly pouring water for yourself. They really need to up the quality if they're going to charge so much for AYCE.

The food was good in my opinion, I would go again for both the soup and some of the meat. Service was good and quick. I loved the complimentary snacks and sodas and unlimited rice and sesame balls 10/10. It is pretty loud and crowded... I did go with a big party of 12 so they had to separate us but we were right behind each other! I'd recommend and go again :) I rate 3.5/5 just because it's not the first place to go to and it's a bit loud.

I absolutely loved How Pot! All-you-can-eat with a 90-minute limit, everything is super delicious and fresh. The place is clean, aesthetic, and the staff are very friendly. It can get crowded, but the wait is totally worth it. Definitely my favorite spot--highly recommend!

Absolute fire food! The staff were amazing and the place is spacious AND THEY PLAY KPOP ON A BIG PROJECTOR!!! Whoever is in charge of the queue of kpop mvs are doing an amazing job!! The food is obviously delicious cause you cook it yourself but the portion sizes are amazing. That being said, if you plan on coming here with TODDLERS, please have control of them. It lowkey irked me that there was 3 toddlers, 1 throwing stuff, 1 walking barefoot, and 1 playing with the front door. Please I beg you, the people there should not be inconvenienced with witnessing bad parenting. T T The place and the staff are amazing, let's not bring that type of vibe in there T T

this was such a fun and yummy hot pot experience' i got the AYCE option and there was a lot of options for the sauce bar. the noodle, veggies, and meats were really good. there was lots of tables so you don't have to worry abt finding a seat.

HOW pot's strength is the wide variety of unrelated foods you can get for one price. I doubt you can get this range of food for $30 anywhere else. That being said, you are trading variety for quality. Weekend lunch turned out to be $30 which was a pleasant surprise. A few items in other Yelp photos were absent, such as skewers or what looks to be ribeye, but at $30 I am not complaining. This $30 includes 1 self-serve ice cream bar (Häagen-Däzs or Nestle drumstick), self-serve canned drinks, and cotton candy. It might also include soft serve obtained through your server - not sure if you can only have the ice cream bar or soft serve, and not both. There was heavily seasoned braised pork, white rice, and some fruits on the self-serve bar. Everything else was ordered through the tablet at your table. So although there were photos of fried foods and dim sum on buffet, there wasn't any when I went. I really appreciated how small the portions were. We only received 2 items each for most orders, which is helpful for items we only wanted to try. After all, you can always order more! However, you might still only get 1 serving even if you order 2, you'll just have to reorder. My three biggest gripes here are the meats are not sliced thinly enough for hot pot. All the meats we had were best barbecued. The sesame sauce tasted a much more like peanuts than gomadare. Lastly is the cleanliness!! Everything looks or feels greasy. The table looks like grease got wiped on the table. My water has a film of grease before anything is even cooked - the picture I'm adding is from when I sat down. There's grease and crumbs on seats, there's food stains on the walls and the center shelf. Correcting this single issue would improve the experience a lot. Best items were lou sha bao ("phoenix bun") and LA galbi ("short ribs"). You'd think LA galbi wouldn't be good, especially on this kind of cooking surface, but actually was the best meat. I would be surprised if the wagyu short plate was even American Wagyu, but was also pretty good when really crisped up like you might with chadolbagi. At the end of our meal, they also brought out slushies in strawberry or pineapple flavour on the house. I feel bad for rating 3 star because they are offering so many options, and they are fast to bring your food. If not for the cleanliness issue, I would rate 4 star.

Hot pot, kbbq and dim sum? A trifecta of my favorite foods! Great place for the indecisive eater. Used to be the site of short lived Crazy Monk hot pot. With three different styles of food, the selection in each type of foods is a bit small compared to a place that was just a dedicated hot pot place or a dim sum place. The weakest selection is by far the dim sum selection which seems like an afterthought. I actually liked the personal sized hot pot and kbbq mini grill with each diner getting their own set up. The place was crazy crowded on the weekend! I think they are still working out the kinks as the wait times can be pretty long despite the 90 min maximum time limit that they are upfront with reminding you. Ideal place if you are flying solo and can't decide between hotpot and kbbq!

Saw it on TikTok and headed over to give it a shot. Bad idea. They have "soft opening" listed but apparently they've been like this for far too long. The sauce bar is a joke, wasn't even stocked when we got there. The shrimp tempura was all breading, the soup base pretty flavorless, the veg was minimal and not good, the cabbage came to us with dirt still on it - they didn't even rinse it. The fried rice was bland...mess all the way around. Not worth the money.

A grill and a personal hotpot? Oh the choices! All you can eat. Love that the portions are smaller so you have a little more control over what you're eating.

I love this place. I think it's awesome. Go during lunch for a good deal. You get 90 min to eat all the how pot and KBbq you want. You choose your meat options, soup base, vegetables, sides, appetizers, and noodles on an iPad. You send your order to the kitchen and the staff delivers all your items to the table. You get to scoop your own rice, make your own dipping sauce/how pot sauce, grab your own drinks, and get your own bowls and soup spoons. I think the concept is great and the food was excellent. If you're getting the beef Wagyu, use it in the hot pot and don't cook it on the hot stone cause it's extra oily. The house broth is yummy and I got it with instant ramen. The dumplings were alright but I loved how flavorful the broth is. To grill, we ordered marinated beef, boneless beef short ribs, bone in short ribs, and Wagyu beef. I definitely love the bone in/boneless short ribs. For appetizers we got the chicken wings, spicy fried rice, and vegetable spring rolls. Everything was excellent. They also make slushies that they offer to tables! It's great. The restaurant does get busy at times which means the staff is too! They offer ice cream bars and soft serve ice cream for dessert. Today they only had soft serve available but it was a nice sweet treat at the end of our meal. You basically have your own little cooking station to make whatever you want. I love that! Again smart concept and I highly recommend it here.

Finally tried this place. Went at lunch on Friday. Giant Kpop music videos blasting. Overall probably the most unique ayce with the most selection in Seattle at a reasonable price point. Highlights: Food: typical meat selection. dont expect michelin star quality but nothing was bad, if you don't like something try something else it's ayce. Or try grilling it instead boiling or vice-versa. Only thing that didn't hit was the ha gao dumpling. Drinks: aycd sofa cans, which cant be sustainable but where else lets you do this without paying more?? Softserve ice cream: 10/10 you can taste real milk and sugar. Service: immediate answer friendly. They make sure your broth is topped and grill clean.

Was planning on going to a different hot pot place, but the wait was terrible. I look online and saw this was right around the corner so we gave it a try The restaurant was clean and well decorated. We added ourselves on the wait-list, however the server quickly seated us. At the table, you can do hot pot and BBQ which I thought was really cool. They have a sauce station, and self serve soda. You order the hot pot and BBQ items from a tablet. The items came quickly and we really enjoyed our hot pot. We went in the mood to do a lot of BBQ. After dinner the server let us know to get ice cream bars out of the freezer. It really was a great experience

Delicious and great service. We had a party of 5 and they offered us a discount for seating us at a table for 4. The older gentleman was so kind about it! We came around 6pm on Saturday only waited for 10 min before indulging in almost everything on the menu. Our favorite was the beef short ribs which were really thick, the wagyu, and the boneless short ribs. Our waiter was very attentive, he recommended the tomato and beef tallow broths (pro tip combine the two + sauces for an amazing spicy tangy soup). Sides came out really fast. Everything was tasty, as for dessert We didn't see cotton candy but the ice cream good. Wish we had room for condensed milk and buns. Overall would recommend this spot to anyone who loves AYCE! We are definitely coming back for lunch :)

We came for Valentine's Day. You have to pay for parking so add that cost to your tab. We waited about 20mins for a table. It's a nice idea having your own hot pot/kbbq station but I'd rather have more choices for kbbq and do without the hot pot. They didn't have any skewers available during lunch so maybe it's just for dinner? The dim sum is frozen and something you can buy from a grocery store and make yourself. A few of the items we ordered they didn't bring out and/or we had to ask if the item was available. Probably won't be back unless it's for an event or group outing and not by choice.

Great combo of Hotpot and Korean BBQ. Be aware that whatever you were here will absorb all the smells. It's been a soft opening for a few months but there are still lines all the time so try to make a reservation ahead if you can. Place is small but they have lots of stuff to grill and hot food as well. Grab your own drinks, self serve coffee, fruit, soft serve ice cream, and cotton candy. We paid $39.99 per person.

Can't decide between hotpot or kbbq? This place is for you. I called the restaurant to make reservation. They do take reservations. They sent over the text that it has made. It's in Chinese from chowbus. They also sent a text later to confirm as well FYI. Aside from that, they have dipping sauces that is self serve. Ordering all foods is done through a tablet. For the price that you get, I would say this is reasonable. I am pleased and will come again.

Everything was fine, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, but we waited quite a long time for our order.
