I had such high hopes for this place. This place feels like it is geared towards drunk college students. We came here for my husband's birthday. A group of 5. The resturant is small and the buffet line is cramped. Do not get me wrong the food is a 3.5 out of 5. But everything else was a nightmare. The staff is basically incompetent. My husband asked for sangria that was never brought to us. We had to ask for water multiple times. Whenever the staff changed the grill they either removed our tongs, or placed the raw meat tongs on top of food we had already cooked. We kept having to get rid of food due to this. I was terrified we would get sick from this action. (Only time will tell) When we said something we were ignored. We were told that we would have 90 minutes at the table. They split out group of 5 to a two grill table. Which could hold 2 groups. After about 45 minutes we were told there was only 10 minutes left for our party. We were not even given the chance to explain that we had not been there that long. They say "tell your server when you are done"....nope they will decide for you. We felt rushed and ignored the whole time. Exactly 10 minutes after the warning they basically threw the check at us. Hovered over as we paid. I would never go back. I do not suggest anyone go here. If you choose to, be prepared to be rushed out and ignored.
I had tried them a while back and didn't have the chance to go back until I was invited for by fellow Yelper Andie with other fellow Yelpers. She made a reservation for us, so we got to sit together on a long table, which had two grills/pots. They have quite the variety of meats, seafood, veggies, carbs and desserts for you to pick and choose. Some of the proteins have marinated versions, which changes it up a bit. Of course, you can make your own dipping sauce. Most of the meats are best on the grill, while most of the seafoods are best in the hotpot (or maybe hot pot then grilled? will have to try next time). The veggies are great anywhere, though you maybe need to cut up some of the veggies (like the broccoli) to fit in the hot pot. The desserts change seasonally, besides the shaved ice. I do enjoy the Mango with Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice, but that is seasonal (mango season). The service is attentive and helpful. They changed out the grill for us a couple times, and cleared away out empty plates. At $39.98/person for all the food, it is definitely worth it for the variety and quality of ingredients. I will have to frequent this place more often!
This was my first visit to a Thai BBQ & Hot Pot restaurant. A warm round of applause goes to Yelp Elite Andie for arranging this spectacular UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event), held on the evening of 3/29/2026. Andie made a reservation for 8 people, and the hostess told us that we could not be seated until everybody was present. There is a large buffet where you can grab your own food to cook. There were many different cuts of steak, and the quality of the meats, seafood, poultry and vegetables was average. The server, Pui, was super attentive, habitually replenishing water and soft drinks; and replacing used grills. The sauces that I used to marinade the food were unique and powerfully seasoned. The seafood and tamarind sauces were tasty, but the Thai-style BBQ sauce was the winner, hands down! The marinated short ribs of beef stole the show because I had multiple servings of them. They were so tender and tasty. I put some lobster balls, butternut squash and fresh shrimp (with the head on) in the flavorful hot pot broth and had one tasty soup. I was disappointed that there was no mango sticky rice for dessert. What is a Thai restaurant without one?, but the dessert is out of season. I had some chocolate cake and cantaloupe chunks instead. The place has a nice atmosphere, but the ventilation is poor, so you will walk out of the restaurant smelling like BBQ. Nevertheless, I recommend it for a fun time out with friends and family.
Wow! Just wow! On 3/29 I joined about 7 elites at this restaurant. It's like I'm dressed to play football but I'm on a baseball field. I was so lost. No one told me the set up so we go in and set at this wooden booth with a grilling unit in the middle. I asked one worker what the set up and he says meats are there and cooked food are here. OKAY! So that didn't register with me. I saw one person in my party member walking with raw steak. I'm like, hmm he might like his food this way. I go over to the buffet where the meats are, everything is raw. So I follow suite and thought that the employees at the restaurant were going to cook it. Little to my surprise, I learned that we cooked our own food. So a bunch of elites sitting in harmony, talking and I see people put food on the grill, one person in our party started manning the grille. We all gathered meat and vegetables to put our food there and we all shared. There was no that's mine, it was all sharable. Silly me, I didn't know that it was a hot pot ( whatever that is) and I put shrimp on the grill. I later learned that I could place my shrimp in the water that incompassed the grille, allowing for boiled shrimp. I tried the lamb, chicken, satay chicken, shrimp, and cod along with the vegetables. The lamb and satay chicken were my favorite. As we are going on with grilling. Eating, talking, I eased up to get more lamb and returned. Someone took meat off of the grill and someone else says " we need more meat". Say less+ I presented the lamb that I eased up to get. We just laughed and had a great time. I can't complain about the food because we cooked it, and the service was pretty good. The great part is, we had 190 minutes and we weren't rushed as time drew near. I sat and talked with familiar elites. I'd love to come again, this gathering was so much fun and very interesting. Inspire more, Yelp more!
I've passed by this place so many times and never thought to give it a try. The outside is very unassuming and I figured, well I have my go-to BBQ places, and there always seemed to be a long line out the door. Well, then for Mother's Day, my mom decided she wanted to try Boon Dee Moo Ka Ta out. And we loved it! Hot pot AND BBQ all in one? Yes please. There was a generous assortment of hot foods including garlic fried rice (so flavorful!), fried eggs, chicken nuggets and fries, tom yum soup, fried fish and shrimp, and chicken wings, among others. The main buffet area has a variety of veggies, fish and lobster balls, noodles, pork, seafood, chicken, and beef dishes, as well as a sauce and utensils bar. They have an amazing desserts section as well with shaved ice, smores, cake slices, and mango sticky rice (I believe this is seasonal). Service was fantastic as they kept coming by to refill our water, broth, and change out our grill. We were on the waitlist for an hour before getting a table, but it was well worth it (and I understand why there's always a line to get in here). We will definitely be returning!
Where can you find a place that has the grill and hot pot at the same table? 90 minutes of all you can eat (acye) for $39.98 + tax per person. Beverages are extra including beer, wine, cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks. Too much leftover has a charge as per website. Servers are great. They come to replace your grill when it's grill needs to be changed, which is pretty frequent. This is not 2 separate items, 1 tabletop - 2 functions! This is ingenious especially for those days when you don't know what you want to eat. Grill on the metal plate; boil in the chicken broth for hot pot. Between grilling the various types of meats, seafood, and vegetables or boiling the vegetables, noodles, and items. There are a good number of choices, that you don't get overwhelmed but it's not limiting. Let's not forget the sauces at the end of the options. At the end, there is some cooked food items and huge rice cookers containing rice. There are desserts too. Fruits including orange and cantaloupe, shaved ice with syrups, various cakes, and ice cream. Unfortunately, no mango sticky rice when I came the second day. Though, it's also not mango season neither. You have to go try this place if you want grill and hot pot at a reasonable price.
Went to Boon Dee on a Saturday night with friends and it was the perfect spot for our group of 6! We had a 5:30pm reservation, which I recommend to do and to come earlier if you can since it gets very busy by 6:30 onwards. Great choice of hot appetizers (chive pancakes, fried eggs, garlic rice, tom yum soup, crab rangoons, etc) to choose from while your hot pot or BBQ meats cook. Mainly got the beef short ribs to cook; other marinated meats were fine but highly preferred their short rib on the grill. Dessert wise, don't skip or on their shaved ice! They used to have mango sticky rice available as well, but not sure if it's no longer available or just not in season. FYI drinks not included here, but I do like the thai iced tea. Tastes good, and you get quite a bit for $5. Service here was amazing! Staff were so friendly and accommodated us by consistently changing the grills or adding hot pot broth. If you've never tried Thai style bbq and hot pot, this is a great change of pace from other BBQ spots with some great food options.
Fourth time coming to Boon Dee. We went on a Saturday night and luckily we had a reservation for 6 people because it was PACKED. We had a reservation for 5:30pm and already there was a line to get in, so highly recommend making a reservation especially during peak times. Service was excellent, our waiter was very nice and checked in with us. Brought us our drinks and refilled very quick, especially when we needed napkins. Gets packed inside with kind of tight aisles and a ton of people walking through. Luckily they constantly refill the meats and food so there was plenty to go around. Definitely recommend getting the hot food and building a garlic rice bowl with the ground pork and fried egg. Then get the sweet soy sauce to top it which is in the opposite side of the bbq sauces. Only street parking but if you go down a block or two, there's plenty.
This Thai restaurant is an amazing spot for AYCE BBQ AND hotpot. Located in Flushing, it is a bit far from the city, but if you're in the area, I highly recommend. Everything here is self-serve but the staff is super attentive with water and quick with drinks and changing grills. They have a good variety of meats, fresh veggies, and a hot bar here (with a diverse array of Thai hot foods, such as pad kra pao, tom yum, and fried foods). I loved their hot bar and everything was pretty good quality. I got multiple bowls of their tom yum as it was full of mushroom and shrimps, which I loved. Their wide selection of meats and seafood was great. While I did feel that some meat quality was so-so, everything was (overall) pretty solid. They also have a dessert section at the end where you can get shaved ice and smores (for your grill). Great meals and I had such a good time!
I saw Boo Dee Moo Ka Ta on TikTok and immediately added it to my list. It was my first time trying Thai BBQ, so I was pretty excited going in. The space itself is really nice and much bigger than I expected. We came around 6 pm on a Friday and it was still fairly quiet, but it definitely filled up as the night went on. As for the food, the selection is on the smaller side. The cooked dishes looked like they had been sitting out for a bit, although they were refreshed pretty often. The hot pot section did not have a huge variety, but the broth was surprisingly good. It tasted like a light chicken broth and worked really well with the tofu and tofu skin. The BBQ selection was better than I expected. My only small complaint is that the plates you use to carry food back are tiny, so I ended up making way too many trips just to try everything. I really liked that they had premade sauces ready to go. More hot pot and BBQ places should do that!!!! Service here was honestly excellent. Everyone was friendly, and staff were constantly walking around clearing plates without us having to ask. Overall, Boo Dee Moo Ka Ta was a really fun first Thai BBQ experience. It is not the best all you can eat BBQ I have ever had, but it is definitely worth trying at least once. I just wish it were closer, because it probably is not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit from Brooklyn.
Great selection of meats and veggies. The grill + hotpot set up is great. You get to do it in one package. I loved the marinated meats. Can be eaten without any sauce, but with house bbq sauce, it's even better Interior is very clean and spacious between tables Staff were super friendly and very attentive to our grilling / soup refills without having to ask Overall, great place to eat and for the experience
I liked this Thai BBQ/Hot Pot restaurant so much the first time, that I just hosted an Unofficial Yelp Event (UYE) here for 8 ppl. For some, they were happy for a return visit, and for others, it was their very first time here! Everyone had a great time and wowww, we ate so much!!! Haha. Shout-out to my fellow Yelp Elites! Thanks for coming! At $39.98 per person for both BBQ AND Hot Pot, this was a bargain! (Most other places will charge you an upcharge for having both options). They also have a separate drink menu for an extra charge. Boon Dee has soooo much to offer! There is literally something for everyone's palette; kids included! The many food bars offer SOOOO many choices: -- Hot Appetizer Bar: precooked Thai dishes and appetizers. Some items were better than others. I tend to go for the Thai dishes, which are terrific. But don't fill up here! Save room for the actual BBQ and Hot Pot! -- Meats (large variety of beef, pork, lamb, chicken)...lots of marinated and non-marinated meats for your BBQ and/or Hot Pot. My faves are always the short ribs, Galbi and lamb. -- Seafood (fish fillet, shrimp, squid, lobster balls, fish balls)...the fish fillet is fantastic for your hot pot but not so much on the grill, as it sticks to the grill. The marinated squid is great also (for both the grill and hot pot). -- Veggies (mushroom, cabbage, bok choy, carrots, cilantro, pumpkin, and much more)...fresh veggies; great for grill and/or hot pot! -- Noodles (about 3 different types of noodles)...great for hot pot but don't fill up on noodles! Let's be real: you're here for the meats!! lol -- Plus so much more that I honestly can't even remember -- Desserts (varies from day to day): there's a separate fridge/freezer full of desserts (a variety of sliced cakes, s'mores, mango sticky rice, fresh fruits, and ice creams), as well as a Thai Shaved Ice Station. As full as you probably are after all the food, there's always room for a little dessert!!! Hahaha Hot Pot: Full disclosure: In general, I'm not really a soup person and rarely go for Hot Pot. BUT, I have to say that the chicken broth they use for their hot pot (which is actually a moat surrounding your BBQ grill - see my photos), was fantastic!! I made a point to ask what kind of broth this was and they said it was chicken broth made with lots and lots of veggies. The soup was very tasty. I was impressed! Add your pickings from the food bars (I picked mushrooms, veggies, fish & squid), and you end up with a great soup! I really enjoyed this even though I'm not a soup person. lol Don't sleep in the sauce bars! There are soooo many sauces and seasonings, but you should peruse all the sauce before picking the ones you want! Pick a few and explore all the different flavors! Ventilation was not as bad as some other BBQ places but still, you WILL leave there smelling like food! **(Pro-tip: bring a large trash bag for your coats and jackets, so your coats won't smell like BBQ when you leave). Customer service and hospitality were great! Pui and her staff really took care of us; replenishing our hot pot broth, water glasses, changing our grills often, and clearing our dirty plates often. Attentive service with a smile! Parking: street parking only but very doable! I've never had a hard time finding parking close by. Looking forward to another return visit! Kudos to Pui and her entire staff!
All you can eat thai style bbq with a side of hotpot. Place looks pretty clean and meats and veggies are fresh. You get one grill per table and the grill has a border filled with water to cook your food like a hotpot. This concept is sort of different from korean bbq and it works. Love they have lot of veggies, mushrooms and not meats to put into the hotpot. You can choose from many meat cuts to put on the grill. Sauce station has some thai taste to it, and worked with the meats. Service good and was not crowded when we went and there was never a rush to leave even though the time limit was announced in the beginning.

I absolutely fell in love with this restaurant! I only wish we had one closer to where we live because I'd be here all the time. The food was incredibly fresh, everything was clean, and the quality really stood out. The service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. The only downside is the parking, which can be a little challenging. If you come at the right time, though, you can usually find a spot right in front of the restaurant. Other than that, I have nothing but great things to say. If you're ever in Queens or anywhere in New York, I highly recommend stopping by at least once. You won't regret it! We'll definitely be back! read more
Ambiance (5/5): The place is very spacious, not smokey. Our seating was clean, ingredient station was organized/well-labeled, and sauce station was clean. We were the first diners at 12p opening time on Sunday, about 1/3 full by the time we finished. Service (5/5): Staff was friendly welcoming us to the establishment. It is a self yourself set up and order soft drinks at the bar. They came frequently to clear our used dishes and renew our grilling grates. Food (4/5): For the price point of $40, it is all you can eat. There are a wide range of meats of seafood, lamb, pork, chicken, and beef. The beef cuts weren't that great but it was nice to be able to try everything. Not that many pre-marinated (Thai) options. The premade sauces were all on the sweet side. The chicken broth surrounding the grill was a bit plain to taste and did not get very hot (seemed like one temperature setting for both). Veggie options were limited to 10ish items. The hot food area was actually pretty good consisting of fried egg, marinated ground chicken, tom yum, thai chicken wings, etc. For dessert, there was a variety of cake (cheese cake, chocolate, mango, tiramisu), Hersey's ice cream, shaved ice, sliced fruit, and grass jelly. Everything was solid. If there was an option to add-on higher quality meats for a premium, I'd consider that as well. Happy to try this place again. read more

Let's be real: you're here for the meats!! lol -- Plus so much more that I honestly can't even remember -- Desserts (varies from day to day): there's a separate fridge/freezer full of desserts (a variety of sliced cakes, s'mores, mango sticky rice, fresh fruits, and ice creams), as well as a Thai Shaved Ice Station. As full as you probably are after all the food, there's always room for a little dessert!!! Hahaha Hot Pot: Full disclosure: In general, I'm not really a soup person and rarely go for Hot Pot. BUT, I have to say that the chicken broth they use for their hot pot (which is actually a moat surrounding your BBQ grill - see my photos), was fantastic!! I made a point to ask what kind of broth this was and they said it was chicken broth made with lots and lots of veggies. The soup was very tasty. I was impressed! Add your pickings from the food bars (I picked mushrooms, veggies, fish & squid), and you end up with a great soup! I really enjoyed this even though I'm not a soup person. lol Don't sleep in the sauce bars! There are soooo many sauces and seasonings, but you should peruse all the sauce before picking the ones you want! Pick a few and explore all the different flavors! Ventilation was not as bad as some other BBQ places but still, you WILL leave there smelling like food! **(Pro-tip: bring a large trash bag for your coats and jackets, so your coats won't smell like BBQ when you leave). Customer service and hospitality were great! Pui and her staff really took care of us; replenishing our hot pot broth, water glasses, changing our grills often, and clearing our dirty plates often. Attentive service with a smile! Parking: street parking only but very doable! I've never had a hard time finding parking close by. Looking forward to another return visit! Kudos to Pui and her entire staff! read more
All you can eat thai style bbq with a side of hotpot. Place looks pretty clean and meats and veggies are fresh. You get one grill per table and the grill has a border filled with water to cook your food like a hotpot. This concept is sort of different from korean bbq and it works. Love they have lot of veggies, mushrooms and not meats to put into the hotpot. You can choose from many meat cuts to put on the grill. Sauce station has some thai taste to it, and worked with the meats. Service good and was not crowded when we went and there was never a rush to leave even though the time limit was announced in the beginning. read more
After attending a Yelp event here I was waiting for a chance to bring the whole family. I waited for my son to return for Spring Break and had the whole family there for dinner. This unique all you can eat restaurant has both a grill and a hot pot so you can simultaneously grill and boil your food. We arrived at 5:30 for dinner and it was not crowded. As the night went on it started filling up. There's not a lot of tables that can handle large groups. The normal seating seems to be about 2-6 people. A larger group of about 12 people came and took one of the larger booths later that evening. The place is great. It had a hot appetizer bar with scallion pancakes, wings, fries, tom yum soup, and others assorted fried foods. There's rice for anyone who wants it. In the middle there is an area to get all sorts of meats and vegetables. They have a pretty good variety of assorted meats including ribs, pork belly, steak, and lamb. They have seafood like fish, shrimp, and squid. There's all sorts of vegetbles like broccoli and watercress as well as some noodles. They have a sauce bar with unique offerings like tamarind sauce, my favorite. You can grill the food or throw it into the soup that surrounds the grill. The only downside is you can't pick your own broth. The staff is pretty attentive, changing the grill when it gets too charred or removing empty plates. The best part is the variety of desserts they have afterwards. Sure there's ice cream but they also have shaved ice you can custom make yourself, a grill your own smores, and assorted cakes. My husband said that it was the first time at a buffet that he didn't feel disgustingly full but still didn't feel ripped off. There is a 90 minute time limit so use it wisely. read more
I've been here about 6x already. Our kids love watching the meat cook on the grill. The selections are pretty decent, although I'd love to see some more options like Korean bbq meats. I know they're not KBBQ, but for the price point they really should. The hotpot section is very small, and can be quite annoying to cook in. This is also how I had it in Thailand, so it's not to say they're not authentic or not sticking true. The cooked food is where it's at, and where I feel you can start to make up the losses if you're not beating the buffet The garlic rice, minced pork, chive pancakes, fried eggs. These are easily $8-$10 additions if you go out to eat at a Thai restaurant. Not sure what that says about Thai food pricing in general though. Now dessert , you can make up another $10-$20. Ice cream, pie, cake, Mango sticky rice, shaved ice, fruits. Easily make up your money if you want to beast out there. read more
Had such a great experience at Boon Dee Moo Ka Ta! The quality of the meat was excellent and tender, well-marbled, and super fresh. They also had a great variety of seafood, from shrimp to squid and mussels, all really clean and flavorful on the grill. The hot bar was another highlight, the fried shrimp, garlic fried rice, fried eggs, and chicken wings were all delicious and made it easy to mix things up between grilling. The staff was friendly and attentive, and everything was well-organized and clean. Definitely a great Thai BBQ spots around with amazing value and a really fun dining experience! read more
Came here for Father's Day and didn't really know what to expect other than it being both hot pot and bbq for $40 per person. That plus my friend had came here and boasted about the freshness of their seafood protein. We had a reservation for a party of 10 and was seated promptly. So basically there is a large ring which patrons can use for grilling and around the ring, there is almost like a moat like structure which acts as the vehicle for the hotpot. So our waitress poured hot water broth onto the outer ring and you can drop in whatever hot pot related items you like. The selections for bbq is plenty ranging from marinated beef short ribs to cumin lamb to fresh fish filet and headed shrimps. The waitress would regularly come and replace the grill plate so it doesn't stay continuously charred...which was a nice touch. There is also an appetizer section where you can get garlic fried rice, Thai minced meat, chicken wings, fried eggs, etc. Their desserts offer a variety of individually sliced cakes, ice cream, and also you can make your own shaved ice. Great thing about this place is you can walk up get grab as much proteins as you want so there is zero wait when it comes to that. All in all, very interesting experience and if you go, be prepared to feast more on bbq grilling than hot pot. Lastly for a party of 10 ppl, they applied a service tip of 20% on your bill. Based on this visit, I would recommend. read more

Can't wait to go back! The best AYCE Thai hot pot and grill experience, with soooo many meats and vegetables to choose from that your jaw will drop. The appetizers are always tasty (don't skip the soup!) and the variety of dessert is impressive. Simmering vegetables in the hot water moat along the outer edge of the grill is fun and different. The ribs are drool-worthy. The staff is friendly and attentive - love that they come over to change the grill when it gets dirty - and the restaurant space is spacious and clean. Great place to bring family. read more

Went back for the second time within 7 days! This time it's Sunday for dinner! Service is just as good. Wait stuff are just as attentive despite it was busier than the first time I was here ( Monday night) I am so surprise how there's not more people coming here! Love this place!! Buffet items are always stocked so well and fresh! The mean option choices are so amazing! And dessert!!! The mango sticky rice is to die for!! Will be coming back! read more
Hands down one of the better AYCE places in Queens ! Staff are friendly and offer impeccable service. They are quick to wipe down tables, take away dirty dishes, switch out charred Grill plates, and refill the broth in the hot pot moat. The cook your own food stations are often replenished, , with ample supply of kalbi, seafood, and pre marinated meats. Given that this is Thai bbq, expect some items to be marinated with a little bit of spice, or a hint of Curry, while other marinated Meats with a classic touch of soy garlic flavor. Everything was fresh and tasty! There is also a small kiosk with precooked Foods for you to Nosh on while you are waiting for your items to cook. Best part is that they have delicious array of desserts and fruit to end your meal. If you're looking for a street parking, come early, and avoid the wait. There is metered parking directly in front of the restaurant, but you can also find parking on the residential streets around the corner. Most of their tables can fit for adults comfortably, and maybe 5-6 if some are on the smaller side, like kids. On the side of the restaurant they have longer tables. They do offer reservations for larger parties. Larger parties have 20% gratuity automatically included, which was fine for me because the staff deserve and worked for every penny. Definitely coming back again and again. read more

NYC's best Thai AYCE BBQ and hotpot!! As a huge fan of Thai food, I think I just found my new favorite spot. This place is a dream for AYCE lovers -- from premium meats and fresh seafood to hot cooked dishes. What makes it even better? You get 2-in-1 right at your table -- grill AND hotpot at the same time. Sizzle your meats while your soup bubbles next to it Don't skip the sauce bar -- so many different flavors that take your grilled meats to the next level. Then comes the sweet finale... endless cakes, DIY shaved ice with jackfruit and jelly, plus a marshmallow sandwich torched right in front of you. Thai food lovers, this one is a must! Follow me @foodie.elite on IG and Tiktok for more! read more
This is a pretty unique restaurant since it features Thai grill and hot pot. It's pretty spacious but it's not one of this mega AYCE places so I can see there being a wait on a weekend. It's 40 dollars per person. The quality of the meat is great and varied. There's also a fair amount of seafood and appetizers. The Thai ice tea is strong but seperate charge. I would say this place leans more on the grill rather than the hot pot since the hot pot cooking area is smaller. The desserts were delicious and unique. I loved making my own shave ice. Will def come back again. read more
Boon Dee serves Thai style bbq, which is something I've never had before so was really glad to try it! It's pretty much Korean/Japanese bbq with Thai flavors. You grab what you want buffet style, including the meats, and then you cook it yourself. Around the grill, is soup where you cook Thai hot pot, but we were more interested in the bbq read more

Came here mainly for the mango sticky rice and it did not disappoint. Still one of the best desserts. Came on a weekday for dinner and there wasn't a long wait for a party of 3. There is a big selection of meats but our favorite is the short ribs. It has really good flavors. The only downside on this visit is that it was super hot and very uncomfortable. We didn't eat much as the heat was unbearable and we just had to leave. read more

I had an amazing time at Boon Dee Moo Ka Ta. It's a Thai BBQ which I'm not used to. I've seen plenty of Korean BBQ's but not Thai. It's AYCE & hot pot in one. The staff was really nice & helpful. We cooked our food & it was well seasoned & in case you needed more seasoning they had a seasoning station. They also had desserts that are included for $40. What's not included is the drinks we had Thai iced teas. read more
The myriad meat options were stellar; the Thai Style marinated beef, pork, jowel, and thick sliced pork belly were great. There were also offal options; the seafood was a bit more limited, though the mussels and shrimp were welcome. The cooked items were mainly fried, though the chicken wings were petit but crisp. The rice was aromatic and helped supplement the proteins, in addition the 8 different sauces. There were also a bevy of hot pot and dessert options. The sticky mango rice and the shaved ice were awesome and unique. Was a good value overall; if an article about the restaurant was shared via Wechat, there is a $2 price reduction. read more

Had a great time here and a unique Thai bbq/hotpot experience! The meat and all other options are self serve so you pick how much you want to eat and portion yourself out! The sauce bar was also unique because they had different thai sauces that are not offered at your typical bbq/hotpot ayces. It was a little crowded inside and felt like I was stepping over people but it wasn't too bad. I highly recommend the mango sticky rice for dessert, it was my favorite out of all of them! I do wish the seating was a little more thought out because they are booths so it would require everyone to get up for the person who is sitting inside to get out, but other than that I had a great experience. I would definitely come back again sometime in the future! read more
I finally got to dined and this time I took the gamble to take my aunt and parents out to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Ambiance was really hot. Food was ok, sauces lacked flavor and meat were dried. I ended up getting the cooked stuff. Vegetables were the overall favorite but I'd rather go to Spring for AYCE Hotspot. Desserts were very sweet. My dad who is Thai did not care for the service at all. The only highlight was the birthday song and banner for the celebrant. Most likely we will not be coming back. read more
Really cool thai bbq/hotpot. It's a little out of the way for us in queens but been wanting to try this a long time. They had a lot of varieties of meat, hot food, and dessert, and sauce. Our favorite cut was the galbi, but all of the marinated meats had good flavor. They also had corn cheese/ egg cups. I really liked the chive cakes and tom yum soup they had at the hot bar. They also have unlimited mango sticky rice which was soo good, the mangos were ripe and sweet. All of the fruit they had out was good, you could also make your own shaved ice. Only complaint is that we booked a table for 6 and they put us into 2 tables that were separated so we couldn't all talk/eat together. read more
For AYCE THAI EXPERIENCE! I'm here for it, the food is definitely delicious and marinated well! Service is pretty fast and they are attentive! The ambiance is fitting to the place. Definitely love it here, great place for friends and dates. read more
