    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

    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!

    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!!!

    We tried them out for Restaurant Week 2026. Luckily for us, they had extended it another week! We…read morewere so impressed with everything we ate. Everything (except the ketchup) is housemade! The cashier/cook greeted us as soon as we walked through the door. Even though it is fast food, he checked on us a couple of times! Keep in mind, as other reviews have stated, it is set up for more of a takeout, as there are only two small high tops and no bathrooms. In the warmer months, there are two picnic tables right outside the door. My husband got the smoked turkey (nicely smoked with good bark and moist), mac & cheese (good cheese pull and not runny), pudding. I had the smoked chicken quarter leg (nicely smoked, moist, and covered with their signature sauce), collard greens (not at all spicy but good flavor), and bourbon peach cobbler. Both came with a choice of bread, and we chose corn bread. Nice and moist with a touch of sweetness. I usually drink water with my meals, but they had Jones ' sodas, and I always wanted to try one. The nice young man told me how much he liked the cream soda, so I gave it a try. It tasted so different (we think because they use cane sugar as their only sweetener) than say A&W's version. I really enjoyed it. We also wanted to try another side, so we ordered corn pudding. We were so impressed with everything, we took a to-go menu to look it over. The cashier/cook told us they have frequent specials and a loyalty program. Since we don't have a close fast fook BBQ place near us, I can see us coming here at least once a month! I am sorry I forgot to get pictures.

    Everything you could expect out of a BBQ spot: Flavorful, moist, succulent, scratch made, well…read moreseasoned, good bark. I really respect the creativity out of their menu and the chances they take with unique dishes and appetizers. This isn't your run of mill BBQ place but instead a place that thinks OUTSIDE OF THE BOX and pulls it off masterfully. Customer service is Phenomenal. While I waited on my order the cashier was kind enough to let me sample TWO of their real cane sodas! Location wise it's kinda outta the way but it's well worth the drive and money well spent! We can't wait to return!

    Decided to run out to Henmick Farm & Brewery in the Delaware area to check out Mike's Blackout BBQ…read more Met with the owners Mike and Chenoa. They have been in business for around 4 years. I ordered the Brisket Sandwich with Macaroni and cheese, smoked cabbage and baked beans. The Macaroni and cheese was a creamy cheese version that was really good. The baked beans had a really good smooth taste to them. Good stuff. One of the stars was the smoked cabbage, this definitely a must if you're ordering from them. I could have ordered several of these. Delicious!! On to the star of the show. The Brisket, OMG!!! This has to be in top echelon of Briskets I've ever had. It was super moist with a nice tasty pepper crust. It was phenomenal all by itself but you do have some bbq sauce included to add a little more flavor IF you want. Mike is use 3 different smokers for different options for making his products. He is using cherry, maple and hickory for smoking his products. You can really tell that they care about the product they are producing. If you get the chance you should definitely check them out

    Delicious BBQ at this new food truck…read more The fried bologna sandwich was a huge hit and a great deal at only $6. The bologna was cooked perfectly with a great tasting outside char on it to add flavor. I absolutely loved this sandwich. The beef brisket sandwich was also delicious. The sandwich comes with one side and costs $13. The sandwich was really good and the BBQ sauce was perfect on it. I only wish this sandwich was a little bigger. The service was fast and very friendly. I can see this food truck being a popular attraction in the Columbus area.
