We love this place. With 2-hours left in service, they will not make unsweetened iced tea. We don't drink sodas or sweetened drinks. This has happened to us at several restaurants around the Memphis area. I didn't think we would have to re-think coming here in the future. read more

901 BBQ has been my favorite first-generation all-you-can-eat spot for a reason. Even with so many new all-you-can-eat places popping up now, I still think their BBQ is the BEST in town! The interior design is super cool, with a modern, tech-inspired theme. The QR code ordering system is very convenient, and I really love the cat robot that delivers the food. Very cute and fun experience! Most of the side dishes at the side dish bar are consistently tasty. Their hot pot is also nice, and the tomato broth is definitely my favorite. It's flavorful without being too heavy. (Personally, I prefer the Cordova location over the East Memphis one.) Small tip: any sauces or dishes with "901" in the name are definitely worth trying! read more

OMG this place is AMAZING! I loved it. You can do hotpot or Korean BBQ as a table but you can also do both for an extra fee. I love the robot that brings your food out. It's just sooooo cute. They also have a sauce bar with seaweed salad (MY FAV!) and lots of sauces. Oh yeah soup bases, I feel like whatever hodge podge I made up myself was better than the bases I've tried so far. I just didn't like teh Szechuan spicy or the Healthy Herb bases so I will definitely stick to Original next time and just add a bunch of stuff I like. I think they charge like $14 per lb that you leave on the table but will only charge the $14 if you take it home? They let me just pay that and just gave me containers to take my stuff home with. I managed to fit it all in. All I know is I will DEFINITELY be back! A sheet with suggested cooking times would be fantastic bc I really had no idea when anything was done.

If you are looking for a fun, interactive dining adventure, 901 Pot in Memphis, TN is a spot you definitely want to visit. Here, dining becomes an experience -- you cook your own meal right at your table! The restaurant offers a combination of hot pot and grill, giving you the best of both worlds. The grill sits center-stage, and alongside it is a hot pot of broth bubbling with anticipation. You have full control of how you want your food cooked, how long you grill it, and the flavor profiles you prefer. The menu is extensive. You can select from marinated lamb chops, fresh shrimp, thinly sliced meats, an impressive variety of vegetables (zucchini, onions, mushrooms, garlic cloves, and bell peppers), and sides like udon noodles. Plates of fresh ingredients are brought out raw, and everything is beautifully displayed. It's clear the ingredients are fresh, and the marinated meats are flavorful even before they hit the grill. For sauces and toppings, they offer a vibrant selection -- spicy pastes, garlic, green onions, and dipping sauces that you can mix to your liking. There's a lot of flexibility to craft your meal exactly how you want it. The service is very helpful, especially for first-timers. Staff members walk you through the process if needed, explaining how to manage the grill and recommending cooking times for different meats and vegetables. What stood out: Freshness of ingredients: Everything from the seafood to the lamb chops was fresh and well-prepped. Seasonings: The meats came seasoned with herbs and spices that added flavor without being overpowering. Atmosphere: Casual, energetic, and perfect for groups or even a fun date night. DIY Experience: It's not just a meal -- it's an experience where you control how your food turns out. Drink Options: They offer a nice selection of cocktails to pair with your meal. Points to Consider: If you are not comfortable cooking your own meal, this may not be the ideal place for you. Depending on how crowded it gets, the smoke from the grills can linger in the air -- so dress casually! It can get a bit messy as you grill and dip, but it's all part of the fun. Rating: 4.5/5 901 Pot delivers a great hands-on experience with top-quality ingredients and a lively atmosphere. Whether you're a foodie who loves to experiment or just looking for a fun night out, it's a spot worth trying. Would definitely recommend it -- but come ready to cook and not hungry. read more

I'm giving them a solid 4.2 rating as a Korean BBQ/Hot Pot establishment -- with the weakest link being the Hot Pot. As a hot pot snob, I had a hard time giving them a 5 star rating. If this was just a KBBQ spot, they would be 5 stars easy -- but the sin of doing too much and not perfecting the hot pot is where I'm deducting some points. This place does such a good job with the KBBQ that it pains me not to give them a 5 star. I ordered brisket, beef Toro, and the rib fingers. Everything tasted amazing and they had all the lettuce wrap and side veggies that you would need. Only thing missing is the ssam Jang Aka Spicy bean paste dip. I really enjoyed my dinner and the pricing is so reasonable for what you get. I flew in from California and began craving Korean food the minute I landed. Fresh out of the airport, this is the first Korean restaurant that caught my attention. I was blown away by the quality of their beef and I'm certain it will happen to you as well. Then, I slowly paused and began to look around and realized that I was in Memphis and was even more amazed. Dear Memphis, It's obvious that you love your food. I've only been here 2 hours and I am so satisfied. I can't wait to try everything else that you have to offer. Especially all things BBQ. read more

One restaurant two ways to cook: hot pot which like like individual Chinese fondue or kbbq where you cook on a grill. The rules: 1.The entire table must choose the same style, hot pot, kbbq or both (for an extra charge). 2. There is also an extra charge if you waste too much food. 3. 2 hr time limit Customers pick the proteins and veggies from the menu with a waitress or through a QR code at the table. The food is brought out by robots and humans. There is a sauce and dessert bar. We checked into the line and waited maybe five minutes for a table on a Sunday evening. We liked the variety of meats at dinner. We were super hungry and appreciated how fast everything came out. Service was polite. The only tiny improvement we can see is that the quality of the steaks weren't that amazing, otherwise the entire experience was perfect. read more

All you can eat hotpot and kbq I'm in! Service is always good no complaints. Love how big the restaurant is.

For my first time trying a hot pot it was amazing. Great vibe, service was immaculate and establishment was clean. Loved that it wasn't crowded then again it was a Wednesday night. It can accommodate big parties, reservations are accepted for parties of six or more people. A must if you are in town! read more

This was my first hotpot experience and it was amazing! From the moment you walk through the door, there's an energetic vibe with the neon lights. The tables are fascinating too since they're setup with cooktops. My server was incredibly patient and kind as she explained the menu and cooking process. I was further floored by the sauce bar where you could mix your own sauce concoctions or to play it safe, there's some suggested combinations listed on the bar. There's also a small area of traditional American fare like fries, which I didn't try. I was further impressed by the frozen drinks that were included with the hotpot price. However, I was not prepared for the level of excitement of the robotic cat server that delivered my food for my hotpot. It's incredibly adorable and smart. Most importantly, the food was great! But I do not recommend pork belly in a hot pot because that's basically boiled, wet bacon. Overall, this is worth trying. read more

I was in a group of 6 on a Thursday evening with reservations for 6:45p. We arrived an were greeted by the hostess with a few minutes wait. Once seated I was glad we had experienced guest who've been here previously because it became overwhelming with the options and how the restaurant works. With that said it was a great experience! There is a seasoning bar that carries a myriad of choices. Also, there is a dessert bar as well with fresh fruit and other selections. The atmosphere is family friendly and the exciting part is the food comes out via a robot named Bella, Bella Bots! There are so many meats and vegetable selections to chose from so having a large group worked in our favor! So it is somewhat a buffet style pricing with options being just the hot pot which is a soup base, again in various flavors and you select noodles or rice. Then you can add the Korean BBQ option to cook the items at the table. Once you place your order Bella Bot brings out the food almost instantly. Everything about this place was nice and the price point for what you get is on point but you will definitely need an appetite! I also liked that the protein selections were more bite sizes and not large piece which makes it easier to consume. Make your way there and let me know your thoughts! read more

If you like hot pot this is it for Memphis. However, I do recommend also doing the bbq. It's 100% times better than just hot pot. Service was done with a robot so that was new and interesting. The inside was pretty standard but a lot nicer than most other Asian hot pot places around town. read more

Delicious food, outstanding service, and a unique experience with a clean, modern ambiance. A robot is the hostess to seat you and another robot delivers food to the table. You can order via your server or via a QR code at the table. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. Think of Korean BBQ having a similar concept as fondue where you choose your raw meat and veggies then cook it at the table. The variety of protein selections blew my mind. There is a HUGE sauce and condiment bar of over 20 different options ranging from fresh-made, flavored oils to peanut sauce. Try the kimchi grilled. We'll be back! read more

Where to go on Christmas Day for dinner. Enter 901 HPK. Folks were friendly as always. My only gripe is that some of the food ordered comes out habitually late such as those in a tin. I had to ask like 3 times and the last was when I was brought the check. The waitress response was "you still want that?" Well seeing as I never got it and asked for it a long time before, heck yeah I want it. But other than that we're fans. read more

Very glad that Memphis has a hotpot/KBBQ place! We chose to do hotpot this time around. All in all, a good experience. Great selection of meat, vegetables, and seafood. The service was great, and we did not go very long without someone checking on us to take the next order of food. There was a variety of appetizer dishes and sauces. The only areas of improvement that come to mind are getting drinks refilled and having strainer ladles for the hotpot instead of regular ladles. read more

It was good. First time going they have a variety of things. If I have one critical key point will be I wish they had a little more season. They service was quick the robot comes pretty fast to deliver the items you order. It wasn't too packed and I liked that we can use the grill to cook certain items. Will be back. read more

Check this out! Def recommend for a date night. Price is reasonable and get all you can eat in 2 hours. I haven't tried a Korean BBQ joint since my D.C days, but highly recommend checking this out. You can choose between a hot pot or the BBQ. The wife and I choose the BBQ. There were a ton of selection of the meats and you can create your own sauce. The only thing that would have made this a plus was more vegetables and rice selections but definitely a unique experience. The staff were friendly and very helpful for first time guests. We will definitely be back! read more

Update: Came back a week later and didn't want to have the hot pot and my wife did. I wanted the BBQ. They wanted a $10 surcharge for the variation. So I opted to save $40 and not eat, while my wife had her meal. Really stupid business practice, anything after the first order is pure profit. I guess the management weren't business majors. read more

I am not a huge fan of "cook it yourself" restaurants - but food was fresh, it was fun and enjoyable to share with friends, all you can eat, and a robot server to add to the fun. Service was great, ambiance - a bit chaotic, but part of the fun. read more

I was super excited for this place to open since there are no AYCE hot pot and KBBQ in Memphis and it did not disappoint! This is on par with some of my go-to AYCE hot pot and KBBQ places in Atlanta. They offer a great selection of meats and veggies, as well as side dishes such as kimchi, pickled cucumber, pickled radish, etc. You have a two hour limit which's more than enough to enjoy a meal. The service is friendly and the price is reasonable too! I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

All I got to say is to Americans: if you haven't been overseas and exposed; You need to add up the cost and calculate how are you getting all this unlimited ribs and steak etc. and really they do not even look like what you been eating all your life.

I had the pleasure of venturing to 901 Hotspot and Korean BBQ Restaurant located off of Germantown Pkwy in Memphis, TN. Now before you ask, no it's not two different restaurants; it's in fact one that serves a variety of options based on your preference. I went during lunch and opted for the Hot Pot and Korean BBQ option. When ordering your Korean BBQ selection, you can choose from beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and veggies. The Hot Pot options includes a base soup, sliced meats, meat sides, seafood veggies, and noodles. Here's what expect: 1. You have to join a waitlist which is updated via Yelp in real time, so you never have to guess about your wait time. 2. You and your guests have to match the options of getting the hot pot, Korean bbq, or both. But both options have to match. 3. It's similar to an all you can eat buffet; You can order as much as you want but you can not waste the food. 4. You have a 2 hour limit once all the food is on your table. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will be back. Run, don't walk ! read more

Good variety of meats. Vegetables are fresh. Service was very good. Had a party of 7 and was able to be seated altogether. They have some back room area that can accommodate larger parties to sit together. In the area that have a table that has 2 burners and there 8 individual seatings around the table for the hot pot soups. Broth is good. Overall another great experience. read more

This place is okay. We ate there last night for my child's birthday. The hostess was rude from the start. Apparently, you cannot stand in the waiting area for unknown reasons. There was a literal sign that said, "this is where we gather", but I was rudely asked to move. We were on a waiting list, but out of nowhere. The hostess abruptly asked. My oldest daughter is your whole party here yet. And she said, yes, and then we were finally seated. I wish we had left. But I did not choose this restaurant. Once seated, the experience was fine. The food was fine. Nothing was good, but nothing was bad. It was a little dirty, but not too bad. You cook your own food. There were 6 of us, so we had a mandatory 18% gratuity. Our bill came out to about $300. I would skip if I were you. I won't be back read more

Bad, bad, bad, all around... If you've ever had Korean BBQ anywhere else you wouldn't recognize the food here. Well you'd recognize it as being bad... Don't go here. read more

Quality of foods were stale and steak was tough. Kim chi was excessively salty and soggy. Not worth the price of 30.00 dollars . So disappointed. read more

First time at 901 and really enjoyed the visit! Ethan was fantastic through the meal. He checked in regularly without being overbearing and the orders arrived at the table promptly. The cat robot is so much fun! The food was really good and had no issue finishing within the 2 hour window. Vegetables take longer to cook, but the mushrooms and zucchini were really good as was the cheesy corn. Tried a variety of meats and enjoyed most of them. You should know that anything noted as spicy on the menu is coated in a Tabasco sauce, and it really only works on the beef. The place has a fun modern feel, and it was a nice place for a lunch. My only feedback to the business would be to change out the grill plate at some point. By the time I finished, mine was pretty black, and it was beginning to impact the flavor of the meat. Other than that, really enjoyed my visit here! read more

This is one of my favorite places to go whether it's date night or lunch with friends. It's truly an experience! We usually do the hot pot and KBBQ. I recommend cooking everything at once then you can settle down and enjoy it without worrying if something is burning/not done yet. Any of the bulgogi meat is delicious. The prime brisket is a must. I like putting the meat in lettuce with jalapeño and sesame oil. If you like spicy but not too spicy, try the Thai Tom Yum hot pot soup. read more

I had a good all you can eat bbq and hotspot experience here. You cook it yourself by the way. The staff doesn't help you like at some kbbq spots. Nice selection of meats and veggies. They were good quality. Korean broth was ok. The kimchi and seaweed salad at the sauce bar were surprisingly good. When you go make your own sauce, get their signature sauce. I think it's called 901 sauce, something along those lines. Only annoyance was that the sides of the grill pretty much don't get hot so you have to cook everything in the middle and can't use the entirety of the grill. Also, you get charged if you have meat leftover. Order what you think you can eat! read more

I've never ordered the hotpot since I'm more of a BBQ girl, so I always get the short ribs with rice and a side of cucumber salad. Simple and gets the job done every time!

Yoooooo to all the foodies in Memphis! 901 hot pot and korean bbq is finally here and it has lived up to the hype! I waited a year for this place to open and it's finally here. We had a reservation down at 6 and as we all know the first wk of anything is gonna be a long line. Not too bad of a wait. We had a party of 8 and was sat at a table big enough for 10ppl. More room for us. Yay! The server was very thorough and attentive to what we wanted to order and needed. She started out by getting our drinks, and after serving that she began taking our orders since we opted for both the hot pot and Korean bbq. She asked that we start with the hotpot menu first, and we were asked what we wanted by each category, ex, Broth, Meat, Veggies, noodles, etc. It took about 10 mins to get through all that we wanted for the hot pot side. She had entered everything through a tablet which was very useful. We thought we ordered way too much as we hadn't even started on the Korean bbq menu yet. We then proceeded to do the same with the Korean bbq menu. It may have seemed overwhelming ordering in the beginning, but we were ready to chow down! We all went to the sauce stations afterwards to make our own sauces for the hotpot. I lost count, but there were probably over 20+ different items you can mix and match. There was also a bar next to it that had seaweed salad, fresh fruits and mini sweet desserts. As soon as the server was done taking our orders, the items for the hotpot arrived shortly afterwards. That was quick considering it was a packed house. We had a variety of broths from miso based, Tom yum and spicy szechuan. We ordered a lot of diff meats from beef, chicken, pork and lamb. We also ordered a lot of diff seafood from shrimp, calamari and mussels. The veggies played a huge part as well from watercress to bokchoy. The hot pot was pretty tasty in my opinion and it's one of the best I've had with the individual burners. Next came the meats for the Korean bbq portion, the meats came flowing and our table was full at one point. We were like, "Omg, did we order too much?!". We came to eat and we didn't hold back. I loved how the vent sucks downwards so it's not as smokey compared to other Korean bbq restaurants. The grill that they use is super non-stick, so nothing sticks to it which is nice and you won't have to change it out. The meats were well marinated and the cuts were very good in my opinion. I've gotta say this is what the 901 needed. I had just come back from my ATL trip and I had both Korean and Japanese bbq places. Now with 901 hot pot and korean bbq in town, I won't have to go that far for my cravings anymore. Welcome to the 901, Bon Appétit! #Yelp901 #Eatlocal #AYCE #Hotpot #koreanbbq #Memphiseats read more

Love coming here, always top notch food selection. Looooove the sauce and salad (seaweed salad, kimchi, etc) bar. The fruit and dessert options are always super yummy. The ice cream is a bit plain (pre-packaged individual cups of vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate) but i'm a simple gal so I'm fine with it. it's just not the typical ice cream you think of when you picture restaurant ice cream. The service has been pretty hit or miss for me. Sometimes they're super attentive, other times I'm struggling to find our server. The ambiance is super cool, they have a big fish tank, a bar, they play relevant pop music, they show k-pop concerts or music videos on little tv's around the restaurant. And there's even a little desk where you can buy cute Sanrio keychains and other little knick knacks. The cocktails are fine, not stellar but not bad. I typically get like one or two of the fruitier cocktails. read more
