K-CITY BBQ hot pot & sushi

Normally, I don’t even write reviews, but the drop in quality here is so bad I have to make an exception. I’ve been here in the past and had a decent experience, which is the only reason I returned last week around 5:00 PM for dinner. I walked in in a great mood, expecting the same standard from last year. Boy, was I wrong. The first thing I saw at the meat bar was a whole tray of completely brown, oxidized meat staring at me. It wasn't just one bad piece—the entire tray looked terrible. Most of the decent grill meats were either completely gone or incredibly low quality. And don't even get me started on the sashimi. I get that these cuts are the most expensive for the restaurant, but at this price point, what they served was highway robbery. The pieces were paper-thin, falling apart, and practically chopped into tiny cubes. The staff was nice though. 3/10.

Our family went for lunch. It was lovely. Lots of options for Hot Pot, Korean BBQ, and even sushi/nigiri. We had 5 people at a table with 4 hot pot cookers, so it was little bit tight, but doable. It was my first time at an AYCE place in the US, so I was happy with it. The pork broth was a little underwhelming- but if you added the extra spices from the hot pot spice station- it was easy to jazz it up. Dessert was okay, the Egg Tarts were in the hot food section and made better by putting it on the BBQ cooker to heat up. :) Crust was flaky and flavor not bad. Sushi selection were mostly rolls and a few nigiri pieces. No sashimi during lunch. No pictures to share this time because we were just busy eating. One slightly disappointing thing was- the AC was not running very high- it was really warm! When we come back (yes, it is a returnable location), if we have the same number of people, we would likely ask for a bigger table.

The food here is ok. It’s not the best quality but I guess you can’t expect much from an AYCE place. Their desserts and appetizers however (like their egg tarts or fried calamari) tastes good and as well as the sushi. I would not recommend getting their seafood (for hotpot) because it’s not very fresh and tastes fishy. Overall, I would recommend going once in a while because the atmosphere is nice but in all honesty, the food isn’t as good. But if you’re a first timer eating hot pot and KBBQ, you’ll enjoy this place. It’s just I went to multiple hot pot and KBBQ places (not AYCE) and they taste much more better and higher quality. Total per person including drinks is around $60~

Wonderful!! This is one of my local favorites KBBQ! The staff here is extremely friendly and very attentive to their customers. We came here with a large party and they were extremely attentive. The food was really good and they offered so many options including non kbbq options for those would didn’t want to bbq!

Eating here is definitely an experience. The food labels are placed too high up, I honestly didn't even bother looking at the labels because I’m more focused on seeing the food itself. If you’re celebrating a birthday there, they’ll play a birthday song over the speakers. Eating here can feel a bit overwhelming since it combines hot pot, KBBQ, and a Chinese buffet all in one. The hot pot and KBBQ sauce stations are right next to each other, which is convenient but adds to the sensory overload. The dessert section is pretty lacking, though at least they have ice cream cup and bars. My favorite were the salmon nigiri and the salmon sushi from the sushi area.
