    If you want to try real Korean food and feel yourself inside a k-drama, this is the perfect place. I LOVED the mushroom's hot-pot with meat and the drinks are delicious Thanks to Manager Michael, who gave us very important tips for grill seafood Of course we will return for Wednesday ladies half price!!!

    We decided to try this place out for my brother's going away dinner. It did not disappoint. The bar had so many options for meat, seafood, poultry, veggies, and sauces. I loved the cloud decorations. We ordered the all-you-can-eat and the hot pot soup. I always love cooking on the grill. All the food was delicious and fresh. We left stuffed and happy with the service. This place is a little pricey but would be a great option for large parties.

    This was a fun dining experience! Inside is decorated beautifully with vibrant colors. It was a bit of a wait to sit but it wasn't bad at all. Our server was not super attentive and others wouldn't stop since it wasn't their table. We did get help from the hostess who was very pleasant. Now for the food, there are a plethora of options to choose from to do hotpot or bbq. The beef , shrimp and squid was amazing !!! My only complaint is multiple people at the buffet with their hands so it can create unsanitary situations. Better monitoring of children would be better as well. Overall it was good.

    Had to go see what all the raving is about, and we were not disappointed! If you are a seafood person, this is definitely the hot pots place for you! Endless seafood, options, snow crab, blue crab, lobster, muscles, clams, shrimp, different varieties of fish and more. We really appreciate it. this experience however, I did wish that the broth was a little more flavorful, I also love how you pay for one drink but you have an option to drink unless authentic Asian and American drinks from the cooler. Customer service was amazing and the price was decent. You must go try it out for the experience.

    The interior decoration is beautiful, but the food doesn't match the standard of the decor. There were flies flying around the condiment station, the meat was not fresh, and the beef short ribs had a noticeable stench. I'll only try this place once, won't be coming back.

    Really enjoyed the wonderful selection that Burnin 99 has to offer including the crab legs and seafood especially. Their meats are also fantastic and I really enjoy that it is all you can eat so that I get the chance to try out the different marinades and sauce station to pair with my meats. Another thing you should take advantage of is the awesome variety of drinks options they have because they are so delicious. The vibes also make it look like an icarly themed restaurant with all of the decorations and color so it's such a fun setting to eat at!

    Very large space and area. The service was mediocre. Most of the work you do yourself. You grab all the meats and grill it and you grab all the plates as well. Was there a few hours and no drink refills .. food was okay. You have to season your own meats as well

    I loved the experience. Perfect for date night! Food choices were amazing and we cooked it to our liking. Our server was really helpful and kind to us as well!

    My boyfriend and I went here for the AYCE bbq and hotpot. I rate it 3 for this place and I way much preferred Kpot over this place. The variety of the meat, beverages, veggies, etc were great. the ambiance is very nice, it reminds me of a bbq or hotpot in asia. But for the price you pay each person, its definitely not worth it. We also got a waitress who kept bothering us literally every less than 5 minutes (even though the food is buffet style, you take your own food), she kept asking us for the check, she didn't give us the spoons for the hotpot even though we asked several times, she made us wait like 15-20 mins for the hotpot for it to get hold because she said she turned the heat on and after waiting for 20 minutes we had to ask for another waitress to ask why its taking so long and apparently the hotpot wasn't even on!! lastly, she kept badgering for the check while we were mid eating. our experience with this waitress is a specific issue, and shouldnt affect the food and ambiance and management of the restaurant as a whole. but id be lying if i said im not upset about the whole issue since it ruined the experience.

    Jenle, our server, was so kind!

    This place is absolutely delicious. For $40 a person, you can get hot pot (a continuously cooking soup pot with a soup base that you can add ingredients to) and access to a bbq top. The selection of food is INCREDIBLE. I've lived in Korea before and this restaurant is better than a lot of places I've been to. It's clean. There are many traditional options. The kimchi is on point. This has to be the best bbq/hot pot meal I've had in Columbia and San Antonio. The traditional soup base was creamy and just right. The ribeye cuts and bulgogi were perfect and marbled. This was so worth it. Just a note, the hot pots are single servings! So you don't have a split pot that you have to share with someone who eats different food than you. This was so great because the person I was with eats shellfish and I don't.

    It is still the best sushi bar in the Southeast. They have the largest variety of fresh fish and…read moreother seafood, but they also make traditional chicken and steaks. The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

    The fact that I'm the only Asian customer at this place says it all…read more I ordered Inakaya Fried Chicken, which is a split bone chicken wing per their menu. I was given chicken nuggets and told they don't have chicken wings... Glad I found their menu online to prove I wasn't crazy. Everything is either overcooked, dry, or super salty. No idea why this place was even packed. Sushi rice was dry. The chicken nugget thing mentioned above was overly dry and salty. Tonkotsu Ramen was overcooked. Either they chose the wrong type of noodle or let it sit forever before serving it. The two slices of meat that came with the ramen was maybe from pork chop meat? Usually it's made with cha shew meat or pork belly. Two super lean and dry slices of meat made the bowl look like a joke. The noodle was salty enough that I don't even want to try the broth. Edamame was okay. Other than the fact that they don't look appetizing, the shell was brownish and many bean pockets (if you know what I was trying to say) were empty, that's probably the best dish on the table. If you want sushi or ramen or anything that's on their menu, do yourself a favor and please try to find it somewhere else.

She was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us consistently, and helped guide us through the menu with great recommendations. We started with the lobster spring rolls and a salmon roll. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with large chunks of lobster -- not skimpy at all. The salmon roll was some of the freshest sushi I've had in a long time. For my entrée, I ordered the walnut shrimp. The shrimp were gigantic, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was so good I literally slapped the table. No shame. We will absolutely be back. If you're looking for great Asian fusion with excellent service and fresh ingredients, Antai delivers.

    My favorite restaurant in Charleston…read more I get the bbq but can't wait to try the hot pot. The price is fantastic considering I focus on proteins and don't fill up on rice. The bulgogi is fantastic, the sauce selection is huge, and the soft drinks are also unlimited. I try to go at least once a month. The ventilation is very good- you still smell like bbq when you leave but not as bad as other kbbq I've had. The staff is always very friendly.

    I went during their lunch special from 11 am - 4 pm and they offered $20 for Korean bbq and hotpot…read morewhich is a great price! I specifically came at 3:10 pm and the server notified me ahead of time that if I wanted that price I would only have until 4 pm which was about 50 minutes to eat. Totally do-able especially since I was a party of 1. Just a heads up their options for lunch is different from dinner hence the difference in price points of the two. Everything was buffet style so you would go to the bar to grab your meats, drinks, and sauces. If you wanted rice, kimchi, or other sides please let your server know. Service was great and attentive. My server often came by and offered to cut the pork belly which by the way were my favorite here. The restaurant gave me a sense of modern/hipster vibes which can be appealing for young crowds and it seems pretty clean overall. Definitely will be back to try their dinner options one day but it's a good spot for a cheap ayce during lunch time!

I wonder why they had so much clutter up front?? Just did not make a good impression as you walked in. Then the music...it's no longer K-Pop, but Rap (or heavier Hip Hop?). I've never been to a KBBQ restaurant that didn't play K-Pop...so that was a bit offputting (for me). Not only did it betray the theme of the restaurant (K-Pot??), I just thought it made the vibe feel a bit too hard and intense...not as chill and relaxing as before. Then the menu. Seemed that they got rid of the desktop menu...which I kinda liked. With my verbal orders, there were some mistakes. They brought out 2 orders of Spicy Fish and 2 orders of Calamari...which just made the table busier than it needed to be. Still, my waitress was fairly attentive...so no issues after that. I ordered my fave items...Spicy Bulgogi, Beef Brisket, Spicy Fish and Calamari, along with Pineapple and Broccoli. Plus, there's the AYCE table with side dishes and sauces...which made the whole experience busier than it needed to be?? Still, one of the strengths of this place is its abundance of side veggies! I enjoyed the meal...but I missed a few options normally found in more authentic Korean BBQ restaurants. Unfortunately, I felt that the ambiance was way off this time (messy entrance, harsh overhead music)...plus I think the A/C was off (or on too low). Sorry, but must dock a star this time.
