Beef, lamb, beef belly, shrimp, and fried tofu.
Lena M.

This was my first time having hotpot that wasn't at my parents or family friend's house. It was so fun and delicious! 5 of us went on a Thursday night at 7:15 with no reservations because it was a last minute decision to not cook. They were able to accommodate us without a problem. Tables were filled but luckily they had one table of 6 that just left, Yay for us! We were quickly seated after they cleaned and set the table. Our friends had been there before and they recommended Galaxy Hotpot. This place is clean and everything in the sides bar was so fresh! We each ordered our own pot of broth. Hubs and I went with mushroom each, another went with Chinese herbal, and finally tomato. They were out of Thai Tom Yum and our server was very apologetic. We had a variety of meats and goodies like prime brisket, lamb, pork, beef belly, octopus, mussels, headless shrimp, fried dumplings, cuttlefish balls, mushrooms. Everything was so good! I made my own dipping sauce, added a variety of mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, and enoki, tofu and rice cakes for some extra yum. Our food came out quickly and our server was so sweet helping us with setting the temp & suggestions. We left full and happy. The only downside is that there were mistakes in the proteins that came out and sometimes it took a while to get the proteins. Maybe next time we will order a little more each time our server drops off something or at the beginning. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our meal. The dessert was ok. The cookie wasn't too bad, there was a filling inside that made it slightly sweetened. There was only one tiny square of cake left but it was still moist and had just the right amount of sweetness. I tried the taro pudding and the mango pudding which wasn't a pudding, more like a beverage because it was watery. The mango was decent. The taro didn't taste like anything so maybe it just wasn't enough flavoring? Overall this was a fun and tasty dinner. Great for small groups. It might be good with kids too but you will definitely have to keep an eye on younger kids because of the hot broth in the hot pan and heading plate. I'm looking forward to going back with friends again! We didn't feel rushed at all.

We had a great experience here! Lots of fresh ingredients to choose from, and a really good variety of broths. Everything was super clean and well-organized -- you can tell they care about the details. Service was quick and friendly too. Definitely coming back!

Veggie bar

Started off birthday celebrations at Galaxy Hot Pot and Sushi! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I love their hot pot menu! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I love their Chinese Herbal Broth! Highly recommend that one! If you are vegetarian, they have a huge selection of veggies for you at the self serve bar and a selection of sushi rolls as well. Our waitress was very attentive and kept our orders coming. Ordered basic sushi to try and it was good too! This is a fun place to eat at with a group of friends! Highly recommend for a fun dining experience!

Sauce bar

An ample selection of food from the bar, sushi menu, and regular menu. There was also draft beer, soju, cocktails, soda, and more! Our drinks came first and even before all members ordered their broths, the kitchen came out with the pots of broth as we were ordering! Wow! One waitress in particular had exceptional service! She was attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and eager to serve! Super energetic that made our meal exceptional. If you have never been to this restaurant, go and try it- in my opinion, this place not your typical hotpot joint. - the custom and made-to-order sushi were super fresh, along with dumplings and egg rolls that were sprinkled in the menu. There was limited dessert as Boba tea was an extra cost. No matter, there were some fruit, and some cello with some sweet cakes- besides, I was super full to eat more. Pace yourself, this place is hopping with a two hour dining limit - not enforced but be aware. There was also signs of additional charge if food ordered were not finished from plates like the sushi- so be aware. Overall, super fun experience, good time with friends, tasty food! Would go again. One other surprise- when it is someone's birthday, a fun song comes over the intercom and more- check out the video!

When we arrived, we stood at the host desk for a good while before anyone said hi nor acknowledged us. It seems like they were short staffed, but it really felt unwelcoming. We had to get their attention to ask to be seated since there was a sign to "wait to be seated." The restaurant wasn't busy and there were only a few other tables at the restaurant. Once we sat down, I appreciated the efforts that the waitress made to explain the dining experience to my friends who haven't been there before. The veggie, sauce, dessert bar seemed fresh. From the kitchen, the portions come out very small. 1 order of fish balls is just 3 balls lol. So, be prepared to order multiple orders of the same thing. They have a limited item selection for lunch for a cheaper price. Overall, food was alright. The restaurant seemed cold and not inviting. I'm sad to see it change since the last time I came.

Second visit on 11/14/24! Decided to eat at this restaurant again after the Navy Boot Camp Graduation!! Food tasted even better the second time around, from the day before. Enjoyed eating the Tom Yum Soup bases with Ramen noodles, rice noodles, fried dumplings, broccoli, French fries, beef brisket, pork, ham, California Rolls, Crab Rolls, and Boba drinks! Received excellent service once again! Truly enjoyed our dine-in experience as the food items were delicious! Definitely satisfied with the choices of food at this business establishment.

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! I went with my parents for lunch and it was an unlimited supply of sushi and hotpot for a decent price. The interior of the place was open and bright. It was also very clean with a simple set up which I also appreciated. Our waiter, J.C was awesome. She was kind and very thorough when explaining to me how everything worked. My family has been there numerous times before so they were pros on what to do and how to do it. They were very helpful too. My family and I ended up ordering hot pot and sushi. My dad and I are hot and spicy lovers so the Tom yum broth was right up our alley. My mom, I believe ended up ordering the mushroom broth which she loved. You then pick from what seemed like an endless amount of toppings ranging from jumbo shrimp, quail eggs, tteokbokki, tofu and many others. THEN! You can go to this buffet of veggies that you can add to your broth so you can pick up from toppings like nappa cabbage, lotus root and then they have various noodles you can add as well like ramen and udon. Each table has a table top burner which then they put your requested pot of broth on and when boiling, you can add your toppings. I legit was in food heaven so besides the broth, I wish I could post everything else I added but I honestly can't remember. Overall, everything was super super yummy. Everything was fresh and the broth was to die for. J.C kept to her rounds and continued to fill up our broth as needed so we could keep ordering what we wanted and filling our bowls (and stomach). As I had discussed earlier, we did order sushi and I can't remember the names of each roll we ordered but I do remember the galaxy roll and that alongside everything else was fantastic. Freshly rolled with crunchy and succulent ingredients, I couldn't ask for more. I definitely would come back here, preferably for lunch over dinner and I would encourage you to do so too. Enjoy with your eyes and your tummies and well, you can thank me later. Bon Appétit!

Fun and good food. Everything came out fast and fresh. They have a veggies, sauce, and dessert section where you can make your own sauce and choose veggies for your broth. This would be fun for a group. Server was attentive and helpful. I wish they did half orders of sushi so you could get a lot more. Each order was 8 pieces and more than enough.

Free milk tea with check in!
Cassady H.

So for clarification, I should say that this is the only place I've had Hotpot. That said I can't compare it to a similar place but I can say that this is a fantastic meal and an enjoyable experience! The first thing to note is you can get a free milk tea with a yelp check in! It was very tasty so don't miss out. The ambiance is nice enough and the table set up is smart. You get 1 broth per person but can order extras if you want. I've tried all the base flavors here and for me the original is the best. It imparts just the right spice and flavor into your food! This was a lunch visit, which is cheaper but comes with less options to choose from. A good middle ground. I do love the beef tongue from the dinner menu though. After placing an order for some beef belly and lamb, as well as some fried gyoza, we headed to the salad bar to get our veggies and some noodles. I like the sauce bar, it can be fun to customize, but we're on the clock and I don't always want to spend time here. Some pre-made sauce mixes could be a nice addition. When you do make your sauce, I like the pungent garlic and soy mix. Our meats came out quickly and we started preparing our food. Be warned, this can get messy. There will be splashing! Everything is great here and I found the service to be pretty attentive and quick. This was another great visit here! Again, I can't compare, but this seems like a top notch experience to me. Highly recommended!

Topping bar
Emily G.

I love a good hotpot, but I really don't recommend coming here with a large party. We booked reservations a month in advance and when we checked the week of, they didn't have it booked. Thankfully we were able to book them again. We were seated in the very back at a shared table and it was hard to get in and out for toppings. I would expect a private table for a birthday party booked well in advance. Everyone ordered their proteins, sushi, and sides off the menu. When it was brought to the table, it was put down anywhere with no description so we struggled to figure out who got what. It was very chaotic. Once we were settling with our toppings, it was delicious. All the staff were incredibly kind. I would love to come back with a smaller group of 4 or less.

Hot pot menu
Brittany Q.

All you can eat sushi and hot pot. This place is amazing. The service is fast and friendly. They have several broths to choose from ranging from not spicy to spicy. Tons of meat and fish options. You can order off the dinner only menu at lunch you will just have to pay dinner price. They have nice veggie , noodle and sauce buffet to pick out extra ingredients for your hot pot. There is a $10 charge for over ordering and not eating meat/seafood that was requested. Sushi is fine and fresh. If you enjoy sushi and hot pot you would not be disappointed. This place is similar to hibachi where the table is the cooking area. The place is moderately loud and good for groups. This is not a place to get super romantic but great for a 1st date, families and just a nice easy evening out.

I first went to Galaxy Hotpot and Sushi as part of a Yelp event and was so impressed that I knew I had to come back. I came back with my husband and two friends and I was not disappointed. We came during lunch hours on a Thursday. The lunch menu includes all of the basic meats and sushi rolls that we wanted. If you want the premium meats and sushi rolls, you need to come during dinner hours. The lunch menu is a great value. The restaurant was not busy and the service was great. Our soups and meats were out to the table within two minutes of ordering. The food was all fresh and tasty. The veggie and extra bar was fully stocked. I will not hesitate to come back again and bring more people to share the experience. I highly recommend Galaxy Hotpot and Sushi!

Lesley Anne Y.

Hotpot is perfect for a chilly weather. The service is great! No issues with parking. Now for the food. My favorite broth is the Original which has just a kick of spicy in it. There were 2 of us and we each got our own bowl. So we had the Original and Tomato broth. The quality of meat is good. I actually like that they bring out few sfuff at a time to make sure it doesnt go to waste. The veggies are buffet market table style so you can just go to the buffet station and grab what you want. Add $10 and you also get their all you can eat sushi. Iam definitely coming back! Happy eating!

It requires a bit of planning ahead for dinner, but well worth it since it's one of the few meals that my entire family enjoys. It's basically a big box of rice and crab filling.

We've tried both the regular and spicy and all prefer the regular. One large + one small is perfect for my family of 5 and we always have enough for leftovers the next day...and it tastes just as good a day later. I've been told it's extra good if you slice up cucumbers and avocado to add to it, but even that requires too much prep for me and it's been tasty enough on it's own. We've had it twice over the last few weeks and everyone enjoyed so much that I plan to make it part of our regular dinner routine.

This cute and cozy restaurant is tucked into a corner of the White Plains strip mall in Northbrook. Since its immediate neighbor, Grill House, is so prominent, Fujiyama is easy to miss. The restaurant was not busy that Saturday evening. Our server, Sally, was friendly and attentive, and she was the only waitress working in this small restaurant. My husband and I each ordered a hot green tea ($2.95 per cup). Sally made sure our tea cups stayed filled throughout the evening. We shared an order of gyoza (5 pieces for $5.50), Japanese-style pan-fried dumplings. They were fine, but nothing outstanding. I ordered a Dragon Roll ($18), which was prepared differently from the version I usually enjoy. This one featured cooked eel on top of a California Roll. Although it was good, I would have preferred avocado on top, drizzled with more eel sauce. Considering that their California Roll costs only $7.50, I wasn't sure the Dragon Roll offered the best value for the price. I also ordered a piece of unagi nigiri ($3.50), and the eel was nicely prepared and delicious. My husband ordered Bento Box A ($22.95), which came with chicken teriyaki, sashimi, tempura, and soba teriyaki. The presentation was lovely, and everything looked fresh. My husband enjoyed his meal. We also thought it was a good value, especially since we rarely see a bento box that includes sashimi. In fact, this was the first one we'd seen. Overall, we had a good experience at Fujiyama. The food seemed authentic and satisfying, and the service was attentive. I would like to return to try some of their other rolls, especially the more affordable options, such as the Salmon Roll ($6.50), and see how they compare with those at other Japanese restaurants we frequent. I'd rate Fujiyama 4.5 stars out of 5, rounded up to 5. It's a cozy little restaurant worth a visit, and I'm looking forward to trying more of its menu.
