    The space is huge and tables are wide and comfortable. The ingredients buffet table is spacious so that people flow and are not crowding. There's ample parking outside. Hot pot is one type of Chinese cuisine and the soup base is extremely important. Tonight we are very happy to find a good hotpot place here in Dublin, Ohio. We ordered the Herbal Tonic, Pork Neckbone and Spicy Malatang soup and they all tasted very delicious and well seasoned. There's a lot of ingredients for hot and BBQ alike. Am surprised to see abalone and crab too, huge prawns in a skewer. Wish I had a second stomach to try all of them.

    The service for this place was pretty good. The food for the most part was good! I got a lot of their blue crab to cook in the hotpot. It also comes with AYCE Korean bbq on top of hot pot. It comes with ice cream. I will definitely be back.

    ER-GE Buffet is the hot pot/bbq place that took over the former PJ Hot Pot & BBQ place before. We did the hot pot and bbq AYCE for $31.99pp. It was so worth it. It's all inclusive - hot pot veggies and freeze dried meats (alas no tofu), beef/chicken/pork/shrimp/fish for bbq, hot dishes and cold dishes, hot and sour soup, rice, skewers of meats, and ice cream cups. Drinks include sodas, sparkling waters, and fruit tea all included. Fruit and desserts too. My wife, daughter and I feasted. Service was attentive and often to clear our plates and refill our drinks. Ambiance is still the same as the old PJ's and it's clean. They have robots that bring dishes to your table. For a $100 meal, big thumbs up from our family. We got value for our money (and you can't always say that about other restaurants).

    This place blew me away! I've been to a lot of hot pot places globally and I'm legitimately impressed by this new restaurant in Columbus. First of all, the weekday lunch price of $23 is unheard of. This includes AYCE hot pot, BBQ, cooked to order skewers, and the hot food buffet. There is also unlimited white rice, fried rice, milk tea, green tea, and ice cream. Everything was delicious, especially the skewers, which you select from the fridge display and the wait staff will take it to the back to season and cook. Then it is delivered back to your table by robot. The inside is huge and clean, and the ventilation is better than other KBBQ restaurants I've been to. Dying to go back already!

    Best hot pot and BBQ place in Columbus, hands down. Hot pot and BBQ are automatically part of the deal; they aren't requested separately. The produce sections are exceptionally fresh. One of the largest varieties of produce and raw meats I've seen in years. They have a cooked food station also, and free bubble tea and ice cream as part of the deal. Highly recommend.

    Minor update based on our visit on 9/24: Removed: - Snow crab legs (none on our visit + another noted their absence on a recent google review) - Self Serve sparking water/tea fridge, you must now order from your waiter if you want these (there is no menu) - QR code to order soup doesn't seem to be a thing anymore Added: More signage about fees/restrictions - $2-3 fee for ice cream / drinks taken out of restaurant - $2 per uneaten/wasted skewers over 3 - $12.xx/lb wasted food - 2 hr limit (they are counting seconds based on my previous visit/review and will remind/pressure you to leave) Overall things on the decline compared to their opening, which dulls the edge they have over similar spots in the area- still could be worth it if you prefer the buffet style and/or always do kbbq+hotpot combo.

    Really enjoy the food which was fairly fresh and constantly stocked on a Sunday (around 4pm). They provide an option for hotpot but will start the grill too so you can grab whatever food you want. Milk tea and fruit tea is included in your cost as well. So overall, while it feels expensive initially, it's arguably a better deal then other places that charge you for extra for the grill and hot pot duo and for drinks as well. Parking is easy to find as well. Already ready to go back.

    We went for lunch today, didn't have insanely high expectations as I noticed that the location is fairly new, but wow! The lunch price is nice considering that you get both hot pot and grill at no extra charge for both (whereas some places charge for both). We were nervous about the hot pot as grill can already be a lot of food, and they do charge for leaving a certain amount leftover or uneaten (up to 12.99 per lb!). We got the Japanese Miso soup base and as it was our first time, we just added some basic meat and veggies from the cold bar options. They have a pretty extensive selection of vegetables and meats, which is lovely! Not to mention the grill's selection as well. This is slightly less than you'd get at other all you can eat locations, but it's still a good basic selection. They also have skewers with vegetables and meats that you can cook either in the hot pot or on the grill. What's more, they have a section with premade entrees (orange chicken, garlic green beans, spring rolls, etc) you can grab as well. There is a station for frozen meat for the hot pot, which is next to rice and soup as well. The self-serve mode is excellent for controlling the portions to your liking, and they have a self-serve sauce bar as well. This was my second time ever getting to use one of these and they had a great selection of fresh ingredients. Next to that is a self-serve drink station with milk tea and fruit tea (the fruit tea is a nice citrus mix that's delicious with the grilled meat). They also have fountain drinks you can order. Just overall really great options! The restaurant itself has a nice open layout with wide walkways and plenty of space inside, so you don't have to worry about it being cramped. Our server was nice but seemed a little standoff-ish, though I preferred being left to figure it out myself so that was no issue for me. Overall, it was a really fun experience and I'd love to come back! As a bonus, they offer mouthwash in the bathroom :)

    First time eating here and it was fantastic! Such a variety of food, all hot and delicious. The skewers were a surprise treat with good seasoning. The robots were a cute extra! Would highly recommend. Tables are big and spacious and it doesn't feel crowded.

    I would say this is probably the best hotpot & Korean bbq buffet in the town so far. It's one price $31.99 all day on the weekend. It includes hotpot, Korean bbq and soft drinks. There are 6 bars of food including cooked food. There's also skewers that they cook for you and finish with mala seasoning. Service was good. It's not so smoky like other Korean bbq. It's great and recommend to try.

    Omg this is so amazing!! This is such a great concept having all you can eat hotpot kbbq and skewers. The food is all so flavorful and delicious and the service is so efficient. Even the drinks are included with the price like I cannot think of any other place that does this. And the decor, omg it is so beautiful. Highly recommend!!!

    Wow! Combo hot pot AND KBBQ? I am in heaven! This AYCE has all of the best items and everything I never expected. Don't plan on eating anything else all day!

They have a menu of items you can try in order off of, but my sister and I got the buffet and we're sure glad that we did. They had some salad bar items and then hot bar items with different items that rotate daily. In addition, they had a gentleman carving beautifully cooked steak, lamb, and sausage at your request. Everyone that worked there was super nice and helpful. Multiple people stopped by to check on us and welcome us. All the food was delicious and we picked out a few desserts to take home from the bakery (not included in the buffet price). There's also a little Brazilian market attached to the restaurant that is worth checking out as well. The restaurant itself had a really nice vibe with exposed brick walls. One of the women working told us that happy hour is from 12 to 8 but I will have to come back and try one of their cocktails at some other point. I will definitely be back.

    REVIEW: Avila.Eats on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube…read more 1. Cheese bread is slightly crispy but super gooey. Reslly nice flavor. Has a pleasant chew. 7 2. Chicken croquette is crispy. But inside isn't all that flavorful. Cream cheese filling adds a creaminess and the chicken itself doesn't do much. 4 3. Burger is juicy, tender, and seasoning is present but not the main show. The egg adds an umami and the bun is sweet. This burger relies heavily on the mayo which maybe I'm crazy but it taste way better than normal mayo. Ham doesn't really add anything and the bacon adds a crunch and flavor. 6 house mayo 4. Picanah is tender and so well flavored. Juicy and the fat melts away. 9 the fried yuca has a great typical yuca taste but isn't salted. I'd like to have some seasoning or flavor contrast. But dipping the yuca in the juices of the picanah solves all the problems. 8. Adding Brazilian chimichurri is ok. Not my favorite style of chimichurri. Mixing chimi and house made meyo combo with the yuca flour is 10 bite. Super good 5. Beans are soft and tender. Beans flavor but no seasoning. 4.5 after adding the yuca flour it helps a little bit but beans aren't for me. 6. Picanah sandwich is amazing. Adds the flavor of that picanah to the delicious house made mayo. This sandwich doesn't rely so heavily on the mayo. I reslly enjoyed this. I'd like it more if the bread wasn't so much. The chimichurri mixes really well with their house made mayo. Fatty with a tang. Tender and juicy. This might be a 10 if the bread wasn't so thick and bready 9.5

We decided to do the hot pot so we all have our own little pots to eat out of. They have a little bar in the front of the restaurant where it has all kinds of fixings and dipping items, sesame, red bean balls. So delicious. I will say that the prices are a little much, especially if you're not someone that eats a lot. And if you decide to take whatever food that you have even if it's just the broth home, you have to pay an extra $14 for it. There is no meal options for people who had gastric bypass or can't eat a lot of food at once. Other than that, it is really tasty and delicious many options even vegan ones! We got all kinds of vegetables, tofu, and I got the shrimp dumplings. The waitress was also really friendly and patient with us.

The restaurant is very dark, even during the day. It definitely has more of a nightclub vibe. The servers were very attentive and most plates came out within two minutes That being said, it is definitely only a place I would come for lunch. The price for dinner is comparable with the mom&pop places in Columbus but with much worse broth and meat quality. They don't have strainer spoons for the hotpot :(
