    This place has great service and are very friendly. I like that they have this set up where you can go and choose what you want when you want and don't have to wait for someone to bring it. I also love the sauce bar here, I made my own dipping sauce but they have recipes to follow as well. The food was just okay to me, but that could've been because I wasn't too keen on the broths that we had. One of them just didn't quite taste right. The reason for the three stars is because the broth wasn't very good and I wasn't a fan of the table set up. I don't think I'll come back but may try again with different broth.

    This was pretty good! I like the variety they have on food options. And kbbq+hotpot together is a plus! I didn't really like their broth options though. And the broth doesn't taste as good compared to happy lamb. Overall a great place to go to if you're looking for variety and a combo of hotpot and kbbq!

    Second time here and I would say I have to go down a star this time. They still did not have any of the drinks that are pictured on the back side of the menu (why have them on there at all?) and now it's been some time since they've opened. Secondly, they did not have the Chinese yam that they had the first time I went. My mom loves Chinese yam so that was a big reason of why I brought her, so that was disappointing. Third, the sesame balls were cold and not on a warmer, which made them much less appealing. This time I did not use the grill at all and just focused on the hot pot. Ingredients were still overall good, but definitely some room for improvements.

    Love hotpot so was excited to try this new joint. $45 on a holiday is pretty pricey but the decor was really nice. Whale statue in the entrance and nice lighting. Kinda felt like a club. There was a large selection of noodles, fishcakes/balls, seafoods, and meats for hotpot or Korean bbq. We only did hotpot as the kbbq meats looked interesting. We had tomyum and spicy beef soup. Overall we enjoyed our meal. The hotpot pots are pretty small so it was fine for 2 people but a bigger group it would be crowded. The wagyu beef slices were pretty good and tender. The small crabs were delicious with the body super silky after cooking in the broth. We liked the abalone and fishballs. 90 minutes went pretty fast as that's the time limit but for us it was just enough. Was pretty good and would definitely come back but would recommend parties of 4 or less.

    Wow, feels like entering a fancy seafood in Las Vegas or NYC. Fancy!! Great vibe ! It's so different than any Hot Pot place in town. Lot of seafood options, including variety of crabs, shellfish, fishes and also, crawfish, shrimp etc, don't forget to try Chinese style slice hot pot meat such as lamb, beef, pork and Wagyu. A good combination of Hot Pot and Grill to buffet style seafood restaurant. Ready to enjoy them at the same time with one price. Service is ok since this was the very first day, hopefully when they'll become more efficient soon.

    I stopped today to have lunch while I was in Tigard. Wanted to try something different so I figured that hot pot palace was a good choice. Well, can't win them all. I'm not a fan of the food here. You get your choice of two "broth" and you really don't know what you're getting if it's your first time like me. You get to choose Two the first one I chose tasted like and smelled like melted crayons. The second was tasty, but it was so hot. I couldn't eat it. I saw a bits of tried hot peppers in it should've known. There's really no instruction for rookies like me. I was just looking at the food in the salad bar type set up. When I got back to my table, the broth were ready to go. The fire wasn't turned up underneath so they really didn't get hot very fast. Host ca me over and turned them up for me. Things were a bit smoother after that. The food they offer looks very tasty, but in reality, there's really nothing to mention. I grabbed crab legs, but they were so small that there was barely any meat in them. So the struggle was real, trying to get something to eat out of them. The cross cut ribs were actually good if I would've had a different broth, they would've been better. But then he had little dumplings and little fishy things That just weren't that great. At the end of my meal the only thing that I accomplished was making a mess. I was still a bit hungry, but I couldn't eat any more of this. I was afraid they were gonna charge me $10 more for wasting food, which is what the sign says. I just couldn't eat anymore so I figured that I was done. The hostbrought me the bill and just for me having lunch before tip was $45. I didn't see a price list anywhere when I ordered so I was pretty shocked. I left a small tip because the cost of the meal tap me out for my lunch budget I don't think I'll be back here again. The decor inside is actually pretty cool. Very clean very nice.So

    We got there Saturday around 5pm. We got seated right away. They give you only 90 mins to eat. It took the waitress 10 mins to bring us the broth. They have a good selection on food. The bamboo shoots are tasty. Meat for grilling are tender. Lots of seafood to choose from. The broth is very salty that you don't even need to dip your cooked meat on any sauce.

    It's fun to enjoy hotpot and BBQ at the same time with friends. They offer a variety of food options, and the vegetables are fresh, meat is so so, seafood is ok. The dessert was just okay too, but the oranges were juicy and sweet. The best part is you don't need to ask for people to bring the food, you can just go get it yourself, get all the things you like! The broth wasn't spicy at all. The place was very crowded, and the tables were small, making it hard to find space for all the dishes. Also, the tables near the bar, where people were playing pool, felt a bit out of place.

    Let me start by saying the staff are SO nice. They'll consistently come back to your table and make…read moresure everything is alright. There are booths where you order food to come cooked, and then the hot pot tables where you order the ingredients and cook them yourself. It's very interactive, and they have plenty of meats, vegetables, tofu, dumplings and noodles. You can choose the broth you want at the beginning and they'll bring out the pot. Each pot is split in 2, so you order one regular broth and then a spicy broth. They also have a veggie broth, which I really enjoy. You can grab things from the salad bar, and they have different sauces/oils you can take and add to your soup. You're able to really customize the experience. It's a fun little experiment you get to do with your friends and family. The space itself is busy with customers walking around and staff brining drinks and food, but it's not crazy. We joke that the steam from the soup is a nice facial treatment. Lol. You can end the night with an ice cream cone and lollipop in the waiting room. I've been a few times, and I will say the first time is overwhelming with trying to figure out what to do, but after that you get more confident and interested in curating a soup that's to your taste.

    Save yourself the headaches and avoid buying a Groupon for this restaurant. My friend and I came in…read moreexpecting to redeem the voucher we had already purchased online, only to be met with complete incoherence and a bait-and-switch scheme at the front counter. The hostess initially insisted that we still had to pay full price in cash on top of what we had already paid for the Groupon. When we pushed back and asked for the services to be rendered as outlined, she immediately shifted her story, claiming that the Groupon "wasn't theirs" and refused to honor it--despite the listing clearly being for their exact business. To make matters worse, she admitted that "a lot of people come in here with this Groupon and get confused." It makes zero sense: why would anyone purchase a voucher online only to pay full price in cash upon arrival. Where is the actual discount? If this listing was truly posted without their consent, that should have been the first thing out of her mouth--not a demand for additional cash. Demanding full payment upfront before claiming the voucher isn't theirs is a total contradiction. This whole interaction felt incredibly dishonest and predatory. I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend everyone avoid this establishment.

    Discovered Always Spring a few years ago searching for Korean places on Yelp and I'm so glad I did…read morebc there is no way I would have discovered this restaurant hidden upstairs inside of a grocery store, G Mart. I'm not too experienced with Korean food and often just stick to what I know at every Korean place I visit rather than branch out. That being said I've had the dolsot bimimbop, kimchi jjigae/stew, kimchi pajeon/pancake, seafood pancake, and various bulgogi and galbi and thought all of them were solid. Banchan was decent. None of them were bad on multiple visits but none of them were so amazing that it left an imprint either. This place is probably my favorite spot when I want a Korean meal and not just wings or kbbq.

    Yesterday I went to grab lunch with my friend and daughter at this restaurant. Let me tell you…read moreright off the bat that I am African-American and love all food. I was excited to go here as I heard nothing but good things about the soft tofu stew. The restaurant was busy so it was a very good sign that people enjoy the food. After that we started to notice odd behavior from our server. Our server made an effort to go around all 3 tables around us to refill the orders of drinks and side dishes. And not once stop by our table to check on us after serving our food like the others. My friend made an effort to get her attention to ask for some more sides which they made direct I contact and was then ignored. So when the bill came (quick I may add) my friend ask if we can have more sides which she made an obvious face of annoyance and grunt, then went to get us more. The way we were treated, completely ignored with audibly rude reaction to basic asks, we felt it was not right to tip on the bill. I typically tip where I go but this did not feel right. When we sign the check, she was quick to grab that off the table with even waiting for us to get up and made another face and audible sound of annoyance and feeling of "of course they would not tip". I was really disappointed as the food was pretty good and reminded me of food I grew up on but I will not support a business that leave people of color/dark complexion feeling like they are not allowed or welcome.
