This is a fun family activity dinner. The menu options is large and plentiful. You pick a soup broth, noodles and proteins. They bring it out to you and your cook it yourself on a small burner in front of you. You also get to pick more proteins to cook yourself on a large hibachi type grill in the middle of the table. You can order anything and it's all the same price. A nice bar of condiments and sauces to customize your dining experience. The service - staff are great and they will be happy to bring out more of anything. read more

Came here for the first time recently, noticed it was very clean, big, and atmosphere was good overall. The bar was spacious with cool decor, it was pretty quiet in there when we went around 4:30. I have never been to a hot pot place before, so it was very overwhelming, burners are right Infront of you and a grill. The waitress was not very good at explaining everything and we felt rushed. There are so many options of broth, sauce, and meats to choose from. We tried a lot of the meats, steak, prime rib, short ribs, chicken, spicy beef, scallops, shrimp and spam. The meat was flavored to perfection. We then ordered a bunch of vegetables that we wanted to throw on the grill. When she brought it out she dumped it in the broth, when I was going to grill it all. I was able to retrieve it and put it on the grill. The veggies were fresh and tasted great. The sauce bar and other sides at the buffet table were tasty as well. The only thing I will say, is there is a two hour time limit, but around the one hour, she brought us the check and stopped refilling our drinks. (we got the spicy meats and sauces) so I was drinking a lot of water. I can only imagine 6 people only having 2 hours and one grill to use, how they would feel rushed. The experience was just okay, but the food was the star of the show. If you have no idea what you are getting into like me, I would read up about it and get more familiar with everything since the waitress was not very helpful. read more

Finally got a chance to check this location out. In hindsight, Valentine's Day probably wasn't the best time to go because we ended up waiting about an hour. It could have been longer, but the hostess was kind enough to move us up, and we were able to get seated sooner than expected. I absolutely loved the Valentine's decorations -- they really made a great impression and added to the overall experience. The food was good, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. My only real complaint is the setup for the sides and sauces. I'm not a huge fan of the buffet-style approach -- I personally prefer full table service. Other than that, it was a solid experience. read more

If you like hot pot and Korean bbq, this is the spot for you! It's AYCE, with good cuts of meat. I really liked the bulgogi, the cut isn't shredded but thick, so the taste is different and so tender! There's so many variety of veggies, meat balls, seafood, for the hotpot and for the bbq! You can create your own sauces but also they have many variations of popular sauces ready for you! There's good sides, like seaweed salad, kimchi, edamame, to go with the bbq. The dessert bar has sweet fresh fruit like oranges, pineapples, longans, and there's a good selection of ice cream! Pro tip, mix them all for neopolitan! There's sweet peanuts too, if you add it to the chocolate, it tastes like rocky road! Service was really good, they're quick, and efficient in switching the grill. The restaurant is clean and so beautiful! Even the bathrooms are so nice! I'd love to come back! Great price, great quality! read more

A T M O S P H E R E The dim lighting adds to the ambiance making your whole dinner feel even cozier / fancier than it already is! The entire restaurant is very clean, well lit, decorated well, and evenly spaced out so you don't feel crowded. S E R V I C E Our server was beyond incredible! I was brand new to Hot Pot and hadn't a clue how anything worked. She helped explain everything and even gave her recommendations for my drink and what items to put in my broth based on my likes. 100/100 recommended this place!! Worth every penny! F O O D Everything is based upon what you pick out / what your interests are. And going with that, of course I ended up loving my dish! So much fun cooking your own little hot pot and adding in more from their varieties bar in the middle! Tasted amazing!!! read more

Judging by the reviews, maybe I had the rare bad experience or maybe I'm just picky, but our time at Hot Pot 757 was sub-par to say the least. Yes, the restaurant is nice and spacious; well-decorated with friendly greetings as you come in. The food and service? Not much to be excited about. Or server was very distant and unfriendly and quite quick about explaining the menu, almost as if it were an annoyance that we hadn't been there before. I tried to explain that we've had hot pot, just not at their location, but they barreled through the options and were rushing to get our order in. They didn't even ask about drinks, so thank goodness I remembered and told them what we wanted before they quickly disappeared. By the time we got back from the cold bar, our food was there. The cold bar was pretty lackluster. Edamame that looked like it had been out for days. Kimchi with barely any flavor. A few fruit options at a totally different end of the bar than the desserts (which I'll get to). Very sparse and the flavors were unappealing. The sauce bar was very well stocked with plenty of options and the typical "recipe ideas" available. No complaints there. When we got back to the table, items ordered were missing. We didn't get pineapple. We didn't get potatoes. That was quickly forgotten when the server came back by. The first thing I asked before I even mentioned the food was whether we could get either get a spoon or kids chopsticks. They pointed to the bar and said, with a blank face and monotone voice, "They're at the bar." Ok? Fine. No customer service,I guess. So I asked for kids chopsticks and that said that they could get some chopsticks helpers. We didn't see them for over 15 minutes, and only after I had to ask again. Poor service overall to say the least. My biggest complaint is the way this hot pot/bbq place operates. We're used to dining at locations which allow you to serve your own ingredients. This way, you only get what you want and can have a variety. At Hot Pot 757 you have to pick from the menu and have them bring you what you want. The server had also made it clear, in the same monotone, unfriendly voice, with the same annoyed quickness, that we should only pick 3-4 items at a time. This resulted in receiving mounds of the few things we picked. For the BBQ that's fine. For the hot pot? Not so much. You don't need two huge handfuls of bok choy, half a sweet potato, multiple pieces of corn, and 6 sausages for one hot pot. It's almost as if they're trying to limit the ability to enjoy AYCE by giving you massive portions. I also don't enjoy that they don't have other options available like other similar restaurants. No rice/fried rice, dumplings, etc. available on the buffet. They also don't give you your own non-stick spray bottle and don't swap out the grill plates when they start getting black. This is on top of the fact that the food was just... not all that good. The vegetables were fresh. The meats? Average. The garlic shrimp barely tasted like anything. The "curry" chicken was mealy and barely seasoned. The house steak was fatty and tough, even when only cooked lightly. The desserts? An absolute travesty. The cream puffs were frozen in the middle. The cream cake was coffee flavored and extremely strong, almost to the point of being inedible due to the flavor. The ice cream cups were hard as a rock - hard enough to break the plastic spoons available. Nothing about the experience warranted the price. Maybe Richmond is starved for competition so this place seems great but once you've had other hot pot and k-bbq, Hot Pot 757 isn't even close in terms of service, quality or taste. I rarely feel like I'm disappointed enough to wish I could get my money back, but unfortunately that's how I feel about tonight's meal. We won't be going back. read more

I absolutely love this place and had the time of my life ! Server was very friendly , kind , and patient , if your not used to self serving or making your own food on the grill this place may not be for you but it is a great experience especially with a LARGE group ! Definitely recommend if you like noodle soups , veggies , and meats read more

I think this is a new location, I went with co workers for dinner time. I was impressed, they were too! My first time having Korean BBQ. The place is huge, modern, neat, beautiful decor and ambiance is great! We were seated right away, staff were lovely! Our waitress was very patient and since this was our first time there and it was 5 of us, we had so many questions and she took her time, very knowledgeable, explained everything and all the steps and told us what she recommends and all! I forgot her name but she was great, made our experience even better! We ordered A-LOT of things. We had two vegetarians with us, they loved it as well! Our table was very full. The all you can eat idea is great! You pick your own sauces, meat, veggies, sides and all. Mine came up to $40, I got a mango tea, it was good. There was about 3 or 4 birthday celebrations when I was there, they did something special for each of them, which was so sweet! It is a great place for groups as well! This might be my new favorite Asian spot. Now that I know how to order and what to expect, I will introduce some friends and family as well! read more

Checked out 757 with the family and we were all pleasantly surprised with our experience. The restaurant is pretty large but somehow not super noisy even when full. Waitstaff was incredibly friendly and helpful which was great bc we were overwhelmed a bit with all the options for food and sauces. Definitely a learning curve to figure out the hotpot and grill selections and of course your sauces. Might be tough to maneuver for the very young and some seniors but overall a great outing for family and friends. read more

Loved checking out Hot Pot 757's Midlothian location with a group of friends. ***LOCATION*** As mentioned in the name, this is in Midlothian. It's in the same shopping center as the Total Wine. There is a lot of free parking out front. We went on a weekday night and it wasn't hard to get a spot. Our friend who is obsessed with Hot Pot 757 says this one is the better of the Richmond area locations. ***EXPERIENCE*** We were a group of seven. They set us up at a long table with two grills, but they only let us use one grill. You used to be able to choose between Korean BBQ and Hot Pot or Combo, but now it's a only one price includes all situation. The service here was incredible. Our server was super kind. She helped us with all kinds of suggestions and checked on us frequently. They have an incredible selection of meats, veggies, mushrooms, and seafoods. Do know that you need some knowledge of cooking. For example, be sure to get a broth you like and add some sauces. They have guides on how to mix certain sauces to make something really yummy. This location gets a 3.5 from me for their meat quality. I think if they improved the quality, the Korean BBQ would taste so much better. I adore all the variety they have. I especially love finding things like lotus root on the menu. ***PRICE*** With tip, it came out to about $42. It is an all you can eat for two hours buffet. ***BATHROOM*** They have women and men restrooms. They have plenty of stalls and are clean. ***CONCLUSION*** Hot Pot 757 is a fun spot to experience hot pot and enjoy a buffet. read more

Hot Pot 757 Midlothian - Hot pot and Korean bbq - Hot Pot Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My first hot-pot experience was at this restaurant, and it certainly won't be my last. I absolutely enjoyed dining here last Saturday. We arrived around 7pm and were seated within 10-15 minutes, which was reasonable given how crowded it was. Our waitress thoroughly explained the entire hot-pot process since it was our first time. She guided us through ordering a few items off the menu before we headed to the sauce bar area. At the self-serve sauce bar, you can create your own sauce from ingredients like vinegar, sweet chili, barbecue, and more. They also offer desserts and ice cream. It's all-you-can-eat for about 2 hours, totaling around $37 per person--a good value overall. read more

As a person who travels a lot and has been born and raised in Chicago this place was great. The combo of both hot pot and Korean bbq was amazing & the service was great! It wasn't like I was bothering them the restaurant was clean and felt very comfortable. When I'm back in town I will be sure to visit again. read more

I had a pretty good experience at hot pot 757. The staff was very kind, informative, and went out of their way to make sure that we were having a good meal. There's tons of seating and the tables are spaced out nicely so you can have a bit more privacy if you want. For my hot pot soup base I chose beef butter. It had a little bit of heat to it, but mostly tasted like a simple beef broth. There's a wide variety of meats, veggies, and even fruit like pineapple to add to the grill. I would recommend sticking to any of the beef or lamb cuts since they were all great. The curry chicken we had didn't seem to have much flavor. I liked the option to mix up your own sauce as well as all of the sides at the buffet such as pickled daikon, longan, seaweed salad, pineapple, and watermelon. I also had a Thai tea that was probably the creamiest Thai tea I've ever had. Overall I had a great experience and enjoyed the food. read more

Really good! Super large restaurant with beautiful decor. We went for lunch and it was $20.99 per person for all-you-can-eat hot pot and Korean bbq. It was so much food! They also have a "salad bar" with kimchi, daikon, edamame, etc and a bunch of sauces and toppings for your soup/bbq. Service was friendly and fast. They were patient explaining how it works and waiting for my sister to make her choices. A fun experience - I highly recommend. read more

I had never had hot pot until I came here and it was amazing! Definitely check this spot out. The inside is big and very clean, and there's plenty of seating. The tables are spacious too. Our server was really patient explaining everything to us. Everything I tried was so good and customizable, and I loved all the vegetarian options! There are plenty of meats and veggies but the vegetable options really exceeded expectations. Even the desserts were tasty! It's a little pricy but overall it was worth it since it's a true buffet and they will bring out whatever you ask for on plates to add to your hot pot soup. read more

We made a reservation for a large group and last minute if we could come early and they were extremely accommodating! The food was amazing, their service were excellent and quick so much so we were full before the two hour limit! So many options, incredibly flavorful - no sauce needed in my opinion! My favorite part is that they offer boba! They were clean, beautifully decorated, and even had a serving robot! Would recommend to anyone who wants to try Korean BBQ or loves it! read more

Hot Pot 757 Midlothian - Hot Pot and Korean BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place is big and roomy, the food was decent, they didnt take forever to bring out the items we ordered. My only complaint is theres no ventilation for the smoke, so you basically will walk out smelling like bbq and feeling sticky. Friendly service, sauce bar and ice cream box looked clean, definitely would don't again. read more

They have the potential to be a lot better, unfortunately they missed the mark. You have to make your own sauce and the part of the group that hasn't cooked Korean struggled with the ratios. They should offer some pre prepared sauce options. The restaurant is nice, for the most part clean. The service left a lot to be desired. I could say a lot here but I will leave it at you will wait for a long time for your server. The robot that seated us would have probably made a much better server. read more

What a fabulous treat ended up meeting some friends as I was passing through for lunch. The decor is absolutely beautiful. Everything is fresh and amazing.

Service is always great, very attentive to our needs and always checking up on us if we needed anything. The food is always good- we've opted for both hotpot and bbq every time. I like the decor and atmosphere better at this location than the one on Broad. read more

Soooooo I forgot to take photos of EVERYTHING but you have GOT to try it out. The decor is minimalistic, surprisingly, but gives you an open and warm feeling. I feel like they could do with a tea ceremony exhibit or something in the front once in a while but that's for later. Each tables comes with your own hot plate, and then you choose your broth. You can switch the broth out so you can try several different flavors while there. Then you order allll the ingredients you want in there. The dumplings are delish, and the udon noodle was poifect. Next time, definitely trying the spicy broth! There's also a sauce booth, where you can mix and make your variety of sauces. I loved trying a few different together and separately! You can also order the bbq, and the short ribs were a hit at the table but I like pork belly. Ordered shrimp to chicken to beef, I was SOO stuffed afterwards but it was so worth it. You can order a couple of desserts as well to finish it off, which was a nice touch. Definitely planning on being back because I want to try more of the fish ingredients. read more

It's modern, clean, and spacious. Came here with my family. We purchased a mixture of bbq and ramen. I'm vegan so I purchased the Japanese miso base with bok choy, spinach, shiitake mushroom, pumpkin, and fried tofu. I added some spices, cilantro and sesame peanut dressing from the salad bar. I really enjoyed the combination. I also paired it with fruit and daikon radish. Throughly enjoyed my meal. My omnivore family members said their food was okay but some of their meats were fatty and the hot pot wasn't working as great as it could. We did have to ask our waitress to change our pot once (at other places we've seen them move swifter to change pots). All in all I'd say give this place a bc shot. The cleanliness is what sold me. read more

This is a new favorite. I'm so glad we checked it out. As I was leaving a family told me they had eaten there 4 times in the last few weeks. I can see why now. The All-You-Can-Eat food is excellent. You have the opportunity to either 'boil' you food in a broth/soup or 'grill' on a hot plate. There are four warming stations in the small tables. With a large grill in the middle. First There are multiple meats/protiens to choose from. As well as plenty of vegetables both to go in your soup and be grilled too! The choices are endless. I chose pork belly mushrooms tomatoes and dumplings. My wife had shrimp, corn and spinach with her regular broth. We just let them cook in the soup a while and ate them up. I put calamari on the grill as well as pork belly, pineapple and dumplings. Everything g was awesome. The decor is very cute and well themed. The service is very fast. The wait staff was always asking if we needed any additional things for eating. There is a sauce bar for you to get spaces or make your own. As well as a salad and dessert bar with pastries and ice cream. I would suggest brining your own hand sanitizer just to have at your table if you go to the sauce bar. They're is some at the bar but I would just bring some for the table. I don't feel like it was unsanitary, just wiser now after the pandemic. Our server was informative and always present. Overall a great experience. I'm already thinking about my next combination! read more

What didn't go well? I have been to both locations...this one is hands down the best. With the high ceilings, you don't feel trapped with the grill smoke.

The staff went above and beyond for that one! read more

i thought i wrote a review after we went christmas day. i had never been i thought it would be cool it was seven of us. what a horrible experience and i spent a fortune almost $200 including a $45 tip (18% demand for groups over 6). We didn't pay for one because she was traumatized - they were nice about it. the help / waitresses were very nice it probably took a half hour to explain what to do and to me you basically have to be a chef . i think a lot of people like these kind of places but they're just not for me. all of us were a confused mess on what to try what to do what seasonings- we were reaching over each other for anything and everything. the dessert bar and the tiny cold crab legs were pitiful for the price (included). one of the teenagers went in the bathroom and cried. You could keep getting several kinds of meat and vegetables- but what time you figure out what to do with it and cooked it WE ALL LEFT HUNGRY. read more

Back for the 2024 Yelp season.... Let's start it off with HOT PIT AND KOREAN BBQ!!!!! Came in late. Made it by 9pm and luckily they seated us at that time.

It was also a lot bigger than I expected it to be. read more

Better location than the one north of the river. Service was on point, place was clean, food was fresh and delicious. I can't say enough about the food.

Omg!! If you love Asian cuisine this is the BEST place to go!! I went here twice in a two week span lol first time for my sisters birthday and the second time for my step mothers birthday! Both times I was never disappointed! You get to choose from the hot pot option where they'll bring out a variety of food based on what you pick from the menus, you can opt for the Korean style bbq experience where you can choose different meats, seafood and vegetables to cook yourself orrrr Both! Not to mention it's ALL YOU CAN EAT!! By the way when it's your birthday they all come out to sing happy birthday to you along with a robot who is super nice I didn't catch his name but I feel like we're friends now ! The food is fresh and amazingly tasty, I love the experience of cooking my own food, it's the best place to go with a group of friends it's a very immersive experience! The customer service is top tier the first time I went I really didn't know how it all worked but our waitress was so nice and informative, she also helped a lot with the hot stove, when it was getting too hot she changed it out like a pro! This is the location out in Midlothian, there's another one I think in short pump but if you ever stop by this one in Midlothian trust me it's gonna me a great experience with great food, oh and the pricing is very fair especially with the amount of food you get! The drinks were also really good,but of course a bit pricey as it usually it when you there aren't drink special options. I will say one thing that was unfortunate, my brother didn't order anything he was just there to support my step mother's birthday but he tasted one of my scallops I had ordered and cooked, he just wanted to try one and they attempted to charge him 40 dollars for it!! LUCKILY we smoothed it all out and he didn't get charged but I'm wondering why that was even a thing, so I had to take away a star for that. Otherwise I would definitely come back, just make sure you know big brother is watching you if someone attempts to sample your plate! Ha! read more

Our second trip to HotPot 757 was with a party of 10. This place takes reservations which already makes it a winner in my book. We had some first timers as well we repeat customers with us and everyone fully enjoyed their meal and their time there. Our server was super friendly and could not have done better with taking care of us. Food came out very quickly on this Saturday afternoon and everything tasted delicious. As my second time there, I realized $40 really is a good value for the shear assortment of meat and vegetarian options they offer you that you can fully take advantage. Red meat, pork, poultry, sea food, tofu, vegetables, noodles... The BBQ looks good as well though on both trips, and probably the next trip, we all had hotpot on our mind(s). I'm so happy to have such a good, new, local hotpot restaurant and would recommend here to anyone looking for Chinese hotpot or Korean BBQ. read more

We went on a Thursday night and very few people were in the Chinese/Korean restaurant. Just coming from a 2 week trip in Korea, I was expecting a bit higher quality. We had the combined Hot Pot and Bbq which we requested all at the same time. My disappointment was with the quality of the meat. We chose chicken and pork and neither was distinguishable as one from the other. We asked our waiter (when we could get him, unfortunately we didn't have good service..aside from the crew of plate clearers) and even our waiter had a hard time deciding which was which. Neither meat was tender or quality. If this was just a BBQ restaurant this would be a 1.5 star for sure however... they had this Absolutely delicious Hot Pot and the main reason for 4 stars. The broth choices were wonderful and flavorfully developed. Awesome veggie choices, as well as different meats and tofu's. You could fill up on the Hot Pot alone. However, they don't give you a choice. You pay one expensive price for both items, regardless of whether you want them. We had quite a hefty bill for two and two drinks (buy one get 1 half off even). Not sure we can actually eat that much so, for us, it was a one and done experience. They do have a sauce bar in the middle of the restaurant, with store bought kimchi, and a few desserts to round this experience out. read more

If there is one thing I'll miss from Virginia, it will be this location. I've been to Korea once before and I loved the food there and have been looking for a good hotpot/grill location. I highly recommend coming here at 1700-close because then all the meats will be available. The place is all you can which is amazing and it comes out so quick. I'll miss this place and if you're in the area lookin for a good lunch, please go here. This location specifically is definitely better than the other ones. read more

True American Styled Korean BBQ. Polite service, roomy tables, and pleasantly chilled fruit and sides readily available. The meats were lean, good quality, and readily available from the servers. We did the dinner and had options of salmon, lamb, chicken, pork, shrimp, and others. Opt in for fresh vegetables and the meal was very well received. They did have the desert and the bubble tea, I do wish they had hot coffee, even the Korean hot coffee packets would be authentically enjoyable. So if the restaurant reads this, add hot coffee to top off the meal! If you are looking for a good meal with quality food, this is a great option, a little pricy at about $32 per person, but honestly it's worth it. read more

The ambiance was perfect! The meat they served lacked seasoning and could have been marinated or seasoned prior to serving. The broths also lacked flavoring. They do have seasoning options on the bar; however, I feel like that is a bit much for the customer to have to do. The robot that seats you is a cool touch! read more
