    Lamb, salmon, steaks, shrimp, veggies

    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.

    You can see the marbling on the beef toro.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Korean BBQ includes proteins, veggies, sauces/oils, seaweed salad, kimchi, and white rice.
    Gayle O.

    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!

    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.

    Benjamin C.

    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.

    Joe H.

    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!

    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!

They both seemed sincerely apologetic and eager to make the situation right for me. In all of their help, neither asked me to remove or change anything about my review. This says to me they truly care about the customer experience. They displayed the type of concern I had hoped for in the beginning. Mistakes happen, so I'm absolutely open to giving this restaurant another chance. The quick resolution did not go unnoticed. Thanks so much ! I purchased a feast for work on December 23, 2025, which was advertised to feed 8-10 people. I picked up the order around 4:30 p.m. Since I work nights, we didn't open the bags until later. Once everything was laid out, I realized a double order of pulled pork was missing. I called the restaurant at 9:48 p.m. to report the issue. After explaining the situation, the associate who answered placed me on hold, which was concerning since the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. When she returned, I had to explain the issue again before being transferred to a manager. The manager, whose name I unfortunately don't recall, was very kind and attentive. He acknowledged the mistake immediately and stated that he would issue a refund for the missing items. He also collected my personal information and said he would be sending a gift card for the inconvenience. To date, I have received neither the refund nor the gift card, and I haven't received any follow-up from the restaurant. While the food itself was pretty good, the lack of follow-through in customer service makes me hesitant to patronize this business again. For future reference: under-promise and over-deliver.
