    (Left) lean and fatty beef, (right) lamb and pork, (top) crawfish, crab legs, shrimp, and enoki mushrooms. (Center) instant noodles

    02/16/2024 We opt for the spicy hot soup and herbal. Herbal had more flavor while spicy was mild spicy but they have a well stocked, variety sauce bar that included fresh chilis, chili oil, and dried chili so believe I made that spicy soup "spicy" . My partner got majority seafood which they offer a big selection of from 2 types of crab, 2-3 types of clams, shrimp, squid, fish,crawfish etc. By the end of the meal, her soup was so flavorful and seafood-y, she drank the whole soup. Mine was more meat base which they offer lean beef, fatty beef, lamb, pork belly, and more for all kinds of people to choose from. They make it so convenient and offer a big variety to eat hotpot that it's better to eat here than for me to go buy the ingredients, make the soup base, prep the sauce and set up the table. Staff and manager was attentive with soup refills, napkins, and taking dirty plates. Wish they refill my drink more often but not a complaint. I recommend grab the instant noodle package and use the seasoning inside to flavor your soup even more. Overall, I look forward to coming back and probably tomorrow since it snowed. Hope this is helpful Thanks

    Half mushroom soup, half hot & spicy. Both sides loaded with veggies and chicken.

    Today, my FDD and I decided to take a road trip for lunch. Yes, that's right, we drove almost 2 hours just to eat at Homey. You know how people say that some of the best places to eat are in the plainest buildings? Homey could be the source of that saying. But inside...inside is a huge buffet of deliciousness. What a cool concept. Your choice of soup (broth, mostly) is brought to your table and placed on a burner for you to cook the meats and veggies gathered from the enormous buffet. If this is your first time here, be forewarned that it doesn't take long for your food to cook once the soup is boiling. While the chicken was extremely tender, my veggies were almost too soft to eat. I've never been accused of being the greatest cook at home, and now I've proved at I'm not much better at cooking outside of it either. Haha. Come hungry, drink the broth, leave happy.

    My first time at a hot-pot restaurant. I wasnt really sure what I was doing but it was fun and everything ended up tasting really good. They have a standard Chinese buffet with prepared items you can eat including some quality sushi and good stir fries. But the real appeal is the hot pot bar. You get a bowl of one or two kinds of broth at your seat which sits atop a burner on your table. You then proceed to go to the Hot Pot buffet and pick any of 50 raw ingredients you bring back your seat and braise in the boiling broth: veggies, noodles, proteins...many exotic items I never saw before. Fun and delicious meal for lots of reasons. I'll be back !

    Food was fresh. Lots to choose from and buffet was fully stocked. Price was good. Customer service was great. Definitely returning.

    As for hot pots this place is not the best. They have a sauce bar but everything is mislabeled. They also didn't have ingredients that are needed for suggested sauces to create. There is a Chinese buffet as well. As well as buffet style hot pot. There is a huge selection as to pick to put in your hot pot which is cool. But the instructions on how long to cook each item were non existent. This spot is cool to experience and I love the idea. The food quality is just not there but the price is also pretty cheap compared to other hot pots. So be cautious on what you want before going.

    It is all about the AYCE hotpot! Other things are just added on but don't let them distract you from the prize! Pros: Good hotpot at an amazing price! Cons: The non hotpot things are not good. Five of us got AYCE hotpot! 25.99 each and it was well worth it. Each person get their own pot with their own broth. Ingredients and picked buffet style. Everything was fresh and the selection was huge. We stayed for an hour and a half and were never rushed or asked to leave. Broth was regularly refilled and when we finished we paid up front simple and easy. Just don't order the sashimi. Its sub par (frozen) but wont hurt you. They also have average deserts and other foods but you wont want those compared to the food.

    Don't let the strip mall face scare you upon arriving as this space does not disappoint. This was my first time visiting and I was quite impressed. We were looking to start a new family tradition for New Year's Eve and I think we found it. This was our very first time trying out hit pot and it was sooo darn good! We did have to wait a short bit for a table to open up on the hot pot side, but it was well worth the wait. Diners have the option of choosing the buffet only or hot pot and sushi which allows you to get anything. We adults got hot pots and the kiddos got the buffet. If you have a kiddo who actually has a great appetite they may be able to finish a hot pot on their own, but I would suggest this for the bigger kiddos for sure. Upon ordering your hot pot they will bring out your broth and turn it on to heat up individually at the table, so one hot pot per person. You then go over to the hot pot section at their buffet and gather all of your favorite ingredients to bring back to your table to cook in your hot pot. And if you think it takes lo g to cook you will be surprised as it cooks quite quickly. When visit this restaurant be prepared to leave completely full and utterly satisfied. You may also get as much sushi as you want here as well as food at the rest of the buffet as well. One thing I really noticed was how fresh all of their seafood and meats were. Not a weird smell in the building! I have to say this was such fun place to experience. If you love noodles and Asian food I highly recommend checking this place out on a day where you have plenty of time to relax and enjoy.

    I would give Homey 3.8 rating. Pretty good hotpot. I will be lenient with this place due to the fact that they are still operating during these times. I really enjoyed my hotpot experience. I love that the buffet is still open and that you were able to grab as you pleased. Most places have staff members serve the buffet line, which takes forever. I decided to do the hot pot and buffet experience. I quickly chose a few items from the buffet and sushi bar. I was not really impressed with the buffet line up for the cooked or sushi items. The sushi rice was mostly dry and hard. Sort of like grocery store sushi. The cooked items also appeared to have been sitting out for awhile. -- regardless I came for the hotpot and not the buffet. They have a vast assortment of toppings for your soup. Be sure to look for the beef before you fill yourself with all of the fish balls and vegetables. The sauce bar was great too. I did a combo of peanut sauce, chili oil, red fermented bean curd and white fermented bean curd and cilantro and scallions. The tables are designed so everyone can have their own soups. Staff was friendly. I wish they turned on more lights, the pendant lighting above the tables were off. Desserts at the buffet were just okay. Typical Chinese buffet desserts: jello, pudding, generic cakes, and fruit. Would come here again, just for the hotpot. They might have an all you can eat sushi only option, but again, I think their specialty is the hotpot.

    Is the buffet part on a separate floor? I read a review that mentioned the buffet is "downstairs." Is that true? How would a disabled person get there? Thanks

    There are about 4-6 wide steps with railings on each side to the lower level where the large food buffet is. There may be an elevator off to one side. I don't recall a ramp. Best to call them to get your answer.

    Is one hot pot for 2 people or do they each get their own?

    Each person gets their own and there was a burner at each place setting. That way, each person can choose their own preferred broth option.

    I was wondering if the buffet is self served or if the waitress give you what you've picked? i wasn't sure especially since covid is still around and in a buffet everyone would be touching the same serving spoons, etc etc

    Self serve, but there are gloves and hand sanitizer at the buffet. The buffet for Chinese food is limited. The hot pot side is still about the same amount of stuff.

At around $30 per person for an all-you-can-eat experience, it's a fair price for the variety they offer. The lineup spans across galaxies with sushi, Chinese American favorites, ramen, hot pot, and more. The buffet area was well kept, clean, and the food looked fresh with no signs of anything leftover from the Clone Wars. The hot pot station deserves a special mention. Frozen meats and vegetables were neatly organized next to the sauce bar, which felt like the Jedi Temple of condiments. Pro tip: don't overload your plate the first or second round. You'll need stamina and strategy to get through this feast. Boba drinks in the dessert fridge were a pleasant surprise and a fun touch. The automatic 12% service fee might catch some diners off guard, but it's clearly posted at the hostess station and can be removed if you ask. For groups of six or more, the service fee bumps up to 15%. Still...the price for the selection isn't bad. Overall, Umi was a great experience. The food was fresh, the atmosphere lively, and the variety impressive. Definitely worth the credits, and I'd gladly return on another mission through the galaxy of all-you-can-eat dining.

Even then, it was nowhere near good enough to justify the $29.99 price. Everything else felt extremely overpriced for the quality. For a buffet at that price point, I expected much better food across the board. If you do not like sushi, do not come here, because that is the only thing that was even somewhat worth eating. Paying $29.99 per person for this experience was rough. Friendly staff and a clean space cannot make up for food that does not match the price. I will not be returning.

I'd offered a friend of mine a meal at his place of choice for Christmas. We usually get together on my side of town, however, this time around we chose something closer to him. Pagoda is in an older strip center, though it's fairly well maintained with accessible parking spots and an appropriate curb cut. The glass doorways here are a little heavy, though they were manageable. As you enter, there's dining to the right, a hosting area where you pay directly in the middle, some Chinese decor toward the front, and the remainder of the buffet and dining room behind the hosting area. They also have a party room all the way in the back. We arrived at about 5:30pm in the dinner hour. The crowd was pretty steady. There are several buffet tables with both traditional Chinese fare along with obvious American items like fried chicken, pizza, and other items. My friend and I found a table, though it was quite filthy with a big clump of food directly under it that wasn't cleaned up until we were done. After you pay, they give you your receipt and a server comes by to check your drinks and then brings the drinks. This server was efficient, though not particularly hospitable. That said, she did bring refills. The food ranged from downright cold to kind of warm. I think there were a couple items I'd consider to have been hot. I had one plate and started a second, however, by the second the coldness of the food made it very unappealing. Crab rangoons were decent. Chicken was tolerable. Fried rice was bland. Egg rolls were okay. It was all definitely very "meh" and nothing that I thought was memorable. The atmosphere was tolerable but far from appealing. I think the overall price was in the $40+ range including drinks for two people. Would I visit again? Not a chance. There are too many other better options. This is the area where I grew up and I was really hoping to find a place over here for those times when I am feeling nostalgic. While I've had worse meals, the average atmosphere, cold to warm food, dirty floor, and lack of welcome all add up to this being a one and done experience.

The Brazilian cheese bread was so good, and we also tried the warm grilled cheese with honey (not sure what it's called, but it was amazing). Everything tasted fresh and came out hot - maybe because we went for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. We grabbed a few things from the Market Table, which were all good, but we mostly stuck with the meats. The sides were great too and nice to have when we needed a little break from all the meats. Since we mentioned on our reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary, our waitress told us we could get a complimentary dessert. We chose the tres leches cake and it was delicious. They even brought it out with a little "Happy Anniversary" plate, which was such a nice touch. The restaurant itself felt upscale but still comfortable, and everything especially the Market Table was kept really clean. For the price, especially at lunch, it felt like a great value. At other nicer restaurants you'd easily spend $50+ on just one steak, but here you get to try multiple cuts. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.
