    Personal hotpot & shared KBBQ grill
    Megan Y.

    I ate here during a work event, so my mind wasn't completely focused on the food -- haha! But I liked everything I chose for my hotpot and my barbecue. I just wished I got less because I was way too full by the end! They have two sections of meat, a full wall of veggies, another full wall of miscellaneous hotpot toppings, and a section of prepared food like tteokbokki and spring rolls. The staff was super helpful, giving me a bowl that I originally wasn't given at my seat. They also let me grab a fortune cookie when I left the restaurant. The bathrooms were clean too.

    One of the beef cuts. Can't remember which one. Delicious!

    My husband and I both enjoyed our visit! All you can eat meats, appetizers, even desserts. Hubby enjoyed some of the appetizers with his meats. I ate meat only. It's self-serve so you don't have to wait for them to bring you another round. Everything was delicious!

    Yummy hot pot.  I added shrimp, beef and sweet potatoe noodles.

    Took my daughter to Dama-A to celebrate her birthday, and it did not disappoint. It's located in the former Chosun Korean BBQ space, which has since closed, and the transformation is impressive. This was only my second time having hot pot, but I felt like a pro. I chose my soup base, selected my protein, then added veggies and noodles. Pro tip for fellow newbies, grab napkins and forks if you're not using chopsticks. They also have a QR code at the table that walks you through the whole process of making spring rolls, which is super helpful. (I was too full to experience this) In addition to hot pot, I selected beef bulgogi, (which you cook at the table), rice, Sigeumuchi Namul (a spinach side dish), which tasted just like my Korean mother-in-law's, a fried chicken wing, and an egg roll. Everything was delicious, and I was beyond full. Too full for the chocolate ice cream cones I saw everyone walking around with. I'll definitely be back and will bring my son, who has a much heartier appetite than I do. I'm also trying the Japchae next visit. The staff were kind, patient, and incredibly attentive, especially with first-timers. The owner even stopped by our table to say hello and ask how we were enjoying the meal, which was a really nice touch. (she immediately recognized my daughter who is obviously a repeat customer) The renovations are elegant and modern. The restaurant is clean, the veggies were fresh, and the overall experience was enjoyable. Highly recommend.

    Hot Pot and KBBQ
    Valerie Deanna C.

    Last review of 2025. Let's go: DAM-A is an all you can eat Asian diaspora adventure. ***Emphasis*** on adventure. If you're not already well versed with Asian cuisines and/or familiar with Korean BBQ, hot pot, Vietnamese spring rolls, and the general "build it yourself" concepts going into these cuisines, it's going to be overwhelming with multiple Asian cuisines colliding in a "do it yourself" atmosphere. There's very little guidance. The staff is kind, but the vibe is very much on some "good luck, you'll figure it out." This is technically a Korean BBQ spot, but it's also hot pot, plus a DIY Vietnamese spring roll station, plus a back wall of sauces and prepared foods that dip into Chinese (and maybe Japanese?) territory. It's an Asian cultural mashup buffet, and you're responsible for making it all make sense. The spring roll station is "optimistic". They give you a bowl of water that's too small to properly soak rice paper and plates that aren't big enough to lay it flat. So yes, you will be freestyling. Get creative. You'll survive. If you want to avoid chaos, here's the move: Start with hot pot. Order your broth first so it can heat while you grab meats and veggies. Let that simmer. Then move on to Korean BBQ and grill your meats. Eat, relax, pace yourself. After that, explore the prepared foods, attempt a spring roll, and end with dessert. That order saved us from missing anything or feeling rushed. A little personal tip from me: put cooked japchae noodles inside your spring rolls. Absolutely the move. Trust me. Anyway, DAM-A is fun if you know what you're doing or come with someone who does. Find your rhythm, don't expect hand holding and accept that this is a "figure it out as you go" experience. Once you do, it's actually pretty enjoyable.

    This place was phenomenal! Hot pot buffet style. Great staff that checked twice on our soup level/waters over around an hour stay - which was perfect for me. Tons of great veggie, meat, seafood, and sauce options! I also loved the ice cream machine :) It's typically $36 for dinner after 3PM, but Wednesday is $26! Highly recommend !

    hot pot and meats and sides
    Amanda L.

    We went for someone's bday and it landed on a wednesday when they have 26$ deal which was AWESOME. This is a last minute plan and I had saw that someone said you must make a reservation so I made one for 30 minutes after I called. Not 100% sure if they really needed a reservation because they didn't know about the bday but that's okay! Just wanted to let everyone know that if you can't make a reservation it should be okay. They will check your ID though, so it needs to be the exact day. Food is solid. Lots of choices... almost too many choices... Hot pot broth is solid but the spiciest options were too hot for me (sichuan I think) but the second level down was a good level. Bulgogi was a little thin but still tasted good. The kimchi is weak sauce, needs to be fermented longer. Service was phenomenal, they were so on top of everything. The interior is also very nice and modern. Only complaint is more/better ventilation.

    Not bad at all! I like the various meats and veggies we got to pick from. The soup base was delicious and it was a good environment. They were very on top of changing out the bbq grills to make sure its not burning up. Would I come back? Yeah, why not!

    My husband and I stopped in for hot pot the other day and had a great experience. Like many hot pot places, they also have KBBQ available. However, they allow you to eat both!! (While other places in Austin make you choose one or the other) They had a great selection of meats, vegetables, sauces, seafood, fried items, sides, etc. We'll definitely be back!

    This building was previously Chosun, a delicious Korean restaurant. I'm glad it has stayed Korean! This is a smaller, more intimate Hot Pot place compared to Soup Leaf. This place is great! We came for a weekday lunch. Luckily for us, it wasn't too busy, so it was super easy to get whatever foods from the raw bar whenever we wanted. Excellent selection of hot pot meats, Korean grill marinated meats, vegetables, seafood, apps, and sauces. Service was quick and friendly. I hope they stay busy enough to stay in business! Quality was great. Wasn't too loud to talk to the guests at our table.

    I like how you can choose your meat from the freezer! I really like this spot for their kbbq over other places because a lot of the meat are thinly sliced. I wish you can just do kbbq or just do hot pot as an option. Usually places do both as an add on but here they only have bother because I think just the grill or just the hot pot is enough. The workers were nice and they cleared our tables often and the inside if cute and not too crowded when we went.

    So this was an awesome experience. I wasn't that hungry until I got here. I was a bit overwhelmed at first and didn't know where to start. But as I walked around I noticed it was a very nice place and very clean. The service was great too. I enjoyed trying everything they had to offer since you get the soup broth and a cook top to try different things. They switched out the cook top for us a few times without even having to ask. We had a group of 4 and could have sat 2 more. So a great spot for a big group.

    Took my sister here for her bday because they have a special where you get a free meal if you come on your bday. Must make a reservation! And they do check your ID, so don't try to cheat! The concept: kbbq and shabu shabu all in one! You also have the liberty to grab all the things you want, which they have a great selection of. Meats, veggies, sauces, noodles, fried things - they have everything! We invited our friend Gabby and he ended up going the next day to take his parents, and then he's brought other friends there, as well as told others to go there! Great value, great price, friendly service and they even took a Polaroid of us since it was my sister's bday!

    Today my family and I stopped by Dam-A for the first time. We went at an off time (after lunch between dinner) so it was very easy to get a table. We were probably one of the only parties in the restaurant which makes sense since we went at 2:30pm. There is plenty of parking as this place is in a standalone building. Location-wise I think this is in a random area away from foot traffic. Since it is a weekend the price is $36 per person regardless of lunch and dinner and you get both hotpot and KBBQ. Immediately after being seated somebody came by to give us waters and take our broth orders. I appreciated that they timed it to where the broth would be ready by the time you got back to the table after picking out your ingredients. I enjoyed the variety of vegetables and meats for both hot pot and kbbq but when I was picking out ingredients I noticed a huge dead fly on the mushrooms. This probably means that the fly had probably been on the same spot for a while. It took me a while to flag down an employee so I let the person who brought out our broths know that there was a dead fly in one of the veggie tubs. They told me they would deal with it, but they didn't even ask me any details on where I saw it so it sat there out on the floor for a while. I ended up letting another employee know after a while and they immediately took it away. I think it makes sense that there isn't someone constantly checking on the veggies since it was at a non-peak hour but it's still off putting to see that sit out. As for the food, I ordered the mala broth and it was a good level of spicy to where it wasn't numbing or painful. I wish it was more flavorful, it felt like it was missing something. I also noticed that the employees continually replenish the meats. I liked the sauce bar as well, there are plenty of options for sauces and condiments. They also have various side dishes that are self serve as well. There are also fruits and desserts (brownies and soft serve) as a sweet treat. Everything except for the broth is self serve. Overall the food was decent but there were some instances where I questioned the cleanliness of it all. I think the price point of their AYCE is pretty consistent to what I've seen at similar places from where I'm from (Dallas). This is the closest thing I could find in Austin to malatang and feel like maybe that's a concept they should consider exploring since they pretty much have all of the components!

The ube ice cream alone is good enough reason to drop in. One of my favorite drinks at Soupleaf is the mango sticky rice cocktail. It's so good. They also have a non alcoholic version of it suits your needs. I like the low lighting and decor around the restaurant. It's not gaudy or overstimulating. There are seating options for one, two, large and small groups. You can have a communal or individual hot pot experience. The service is great. I've been several times and the wait staff is consistently friendly and attentive. The place is always packed. It's easiest to drop in for a meal on a week night. If you want to go on a weekend, make a reservation or be prepared to wait an hour and a half to two hours. Overall, it's good food and hot pot fun.

    Long overdue, but it's finally time to give a shoutout to Soupleaf Hot Pot!…read more Located in a North Austin shopping center anchored by the popular 99 Ranch Market, Soupleaf is surrounded by several great Asian restaurants. Because the area is so popular, parking can be a challenge during peak hours, but we were fortunate to find a spot without too much trouble. We were seated promptly and our server took the time to explain the different broth and meat options. One of my favorite parts of the experience is that each person can choose their own broth, making it easy to enjoy different flavors and customize your meal. The seafood, vegetables, noodles and desserts are all served buffet-style in the center of the restaurant, allowing you to mix and match ingredients to create your perfect hot pot. Everything was fresh, well-stocked and the staff did a great job of constantly replenishing the buffet. Since you cook everything at your table, there is a bit of a learning curve. Different ingredients require different cooking times, so it took me a few tries to get everything just right as someone who isn't very experienced with hot pot. That's part of the fun, though and it makes the meal feel interactive. The pricing is also very reasonable considering the quality and variety of food available, making it an excellent value. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely return. My only caveat is that I'd probably save it for the cooler months as there's something about sitting over a steaming pot of broth that feels much more appealing when the Texas heat isn't in full force!

My parents barely speak English, so kind of wasn't necessary to teach us how to dip the stuff in hot water for each thing. You can upgrade to a premium plate on some of the courses which is absurd since the bill came out to be over $100 per person and we didn't order drinks!! No one should have to pay this much for boiled food. Even the normal menu was kind of over priced. The only redeeming part of this was the interior was nicely decorated to a bamboo Japanese style. But that shouldn't matter with all else.

When you arrive, everybody is so nice you give them your name and they get you seated right away. I ordered a drink called a signature tingling Daisy and it was so good. I definitely could've had so many but I was driving so you gotta pace yourself. We started off with the soup dumplings, which are just phenomenal. It's a must when you go. Also, for appetizers, we got the spicy cucumbers which were divine and a hot and sour soup, which was perfectly balanced and not watery. We also got a beef fried rice and let me tell you that rice is so soft and delicious. You literally dream about it the next day. I also got the pecking duck which is delicious there the skin is nice and crispy and the meat on it taste so good. We also got the Kung pow shrimp with cashews, which was delicious and the pieces of shrimp were gigantic. We also got the green beans which is were delicious. I love ordering green beans when they're cooked just like the ones I posted in the photo. Then for dessert, we got the chocolate mousse which is that little dog cake. I know it's so cute and they made it a little hard to eat because you feel bad in a weird sense. It was delicious now I will say when cutting it and realizing the inside had a raspberry filling, made it a little more crazy cause it looked like blood, but it was still so good. This place is definitely an awesome staple and a must visit when you're in town or just always go and have food there whether it's date night or friends catching up or anything in general even on your own.

This could have been my mistake but I don't remember any choice in the matter. The greeter wasn't very friendly and borderline surly when I asked for more details about how to not book the bar in the future. Didn't get any explanation but fortunately, we won't have to worry about that... The food was just awful. We ordered 3-4 types of dimsum (onion pancake, soup dumplings, chu shou, fried shu mae) and three entries (orange beef, eggplant and their take on ma pao tofu) for the best tasting experience. The curry sauce for the onion pancake was probably the most flavorful dish of the night sadly. The onion pancake was way way over fried-- hard as a rock. If that's their take on onion pancake... well, it's just wrong. The soup dumplings were passable but a bit doughie and the filling was full of a lot of noticeable coagulated fat -- not clear and broth-y, with light surface droplets of oil as all delicious broths. My wife enjoyed the chu shou -- I found the filling much too overcooked and tough -- difficult to eat with chop sticks. Like a tough, overcooked meatball. The fried shu Mae were just plain inedible. My wife and I each ate one and left the rest. The included sauce was basic and too heavy. And again, over fried. There was a huge delay between our apps and our mains, like 40 minutes or so. Various bar staff apologized. It wasn't a big deal, we were in a good conversation and they were super busy but our mains were not at all worth waiting for. Small portions. WAY over sauced. WAY too salty. WAY too sweet. No distinct flavors at all. The ma pao didn't seem to have any Szechuan pepper at all. How do you miss that ? The plating of the eggplant dish was really creative but I don't eat with my eyes and it came with no instruction -- my first bite was just flavorless steamed eggplant cube -- second was mixed with one note sauce. One of the better mains IMO but it was still gloopy and pretty gross. Wife did not enjoy it. The orange beef was essentially just six or seven cubes of tough, fatty beef covered in over-the-top bitter orange peel. We each had a cube and left the rest. Honestly, give me Panda Express any day over this abject failure of a restaurant. Austin needs more Chinese but if it's anything like this place, forget it. I'd rather spend a 4h round trip to Houston and go to even a mediocre Chinese restaurant than endure another meal at this place. What a waste of $165. Edit: I wish I was making this up but I literally had to pull over to throw up on the side of the road on the way home. The food did not sit well with me. I have no underlying health conditions, am not on any medicine that would have this as a side effect and only shared one beer with my wife. It was just a very, very, disappointing and gross meal.

Let's get the good out of the way - the food was what we expected. No complaints there. If you've been to The Melting Pot, you'll know what to expect and I didn't notice any difference in quality there. The restaurant looks just like the others inside. We were seated relatively quickly after arriving. Now, the really not good. Our waitress was the worst server we have ever experienced and I'm not exaggerating. In our probably hour or more there, I think we saw her for a total of 5 minutes? Including while she was at the table preparing the food. She disappeared constantly and would be gone for 10 or more minutes without checking in. I asked her for a water refill, waited so long for her to return that I decided to flag down a different waiter, got a refill from him, and then DRANK THAT WHOLE GLASS before she ever came back. Still wiithout a refill for me. When our salads came, she had no dressing for mine. She left to go get it and didn't come back until the others had fully finished their salads. I ordered a strawberry lemonade when we first sat down. It never came and so we asked about it at dessert to make sure it wouldn't be on the check, and before we could finish asking, she said 'OH!' and left, and then came back 5 min later with it. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to drink with my chocolate. She never asked if we were celebrating anything even though there were two birthday tables next to us whose wait staff made HUGE deals about their birthdays, AND it was on the reservation notes. Here's the thing. She never apologized for any of the wait times, or disappearing, or forgetting things. Even after all of the mishaps, my review would have been a 4 star if she'd ever once acknowledged how comically bad it was all going. This experience was so bad that I had to share it. Usually I gloss over less than stellar service, but this deserved to be immortalized.

    highly recommend this place for korean food. every dish we tried was yummy and will def be…read morereturning. i recommend the cheese corn, tteokbokki, tofu soup, and galbi. the kimchi rice was good but we found it a bit dry. all the portions were big but each dish is on the pricey side. the service was a little lacking as it seems like they are understaffed. they never checked up on us and we had to go up to them multiple times for when we needed spoons and more water. additionally, we were sat right next to the speaker which i get that the loud music adds to the late night bar vibe but we could barely hear each other and our ears started to hurt.

    Corn Cheese 5/5 Hot, cheesy, charred flavor, creamy, sweet,…read morejuicy. Delicious! Soy Honey Chicken 4.5/5 This was crunchy, sweet and savory, fresh, and very delicious! Although I wasn't a fan of the batter, it wasn't a big deal. Good with rice and onions add freshness! Short Rib 4/5 This has a lighter flavor. The first time I went it wasn't great because it was chewy but the second time I went it was delicious! Steamed Egg 2/5 Although this was hot and soft, there was no flavor at all other than egg. I wouldn't get it again. Kimchi Pancake 4/5 This was crispy and good but it was a bit doughy and it needs more kimchi. The sauce was yummy though! I like vinegar flavors so this sauce was more salty than tangy. It also had a yummy onion flavor. Pork Belly 5/5 Although this came plain and seems like not much, it was actually very delicious! The pork belly was juicy, tender, and it had a nice fat flavor. Yang Dak 5/5 This is a very saucy, sweet, savory, and delicious dish! I enjoyed the fried rice cakes that came with it, and the sauce added so much to it! The radish was bitter but I'm not sure if there was something wrong with my tastebuds. The flavor was sweet, savory, and very gochujang. Juicy and crispy! Kimchi Stew 5/5 This kimchi stew is fresh, spicy, salty, tangy, and everything needed after a long day! Honestly, the personal serving was big and enough for 3 people. Definitely try this out! Good vibes at night, good service, not bad prices compared to nearby places, check it out!
