This was on our radar for a while and our son finally talked mom into an AYCE experience! She doesn't like it as much as myself..... We had a reservation on a Saturday evening but it wasn't that busy. Greeted and sat right away by nice staff. It's a bit of a tight table setup but quite well organized so that each diner can operate the heat of both their hot pot and grill independent of others. Quite a genius concept really and easily learned though odd for familiar diners of each type of cooking. They had this really good stewed pork and quail eggs and a large rice cooker you can help yourself to at the bar while waiting. It was so good I had that for my dessert. A very typical Asian family dish often left on the kitchen stove that we are familiar with. The beverages are included in fridges with many soda lemonade waters and other stuff to grab as you like. There is a huge sauce bar to mix your own. Love the sesame sauce mixed with other things! And a bunch of fresh fruit to help yourself to. The hotpot had a number of choices. Sukiyaki broth looked good and our son loved it. I chose the spicy Szechuan type red broth and ordered it mild but it was still quite hot. Honestly this wasn't as tasty as other hotpot restaurants and even mine I make at home with ginger and garlic is much better. Wish I chose the sukiyaki or basic beef broth like our daughter (it was tasty too). So I gave up after a couple rounds of that and stuck to the bbq. The bbq is small with parchment paper on a steel tray but it cooks up pretty quick and nice. Great general choices with many things available. Spicy pork was not the best I've had though and that's one of my faves. Excellent beef choices and pork belly. Whole head on prawns etc. The list is huge. Overall the service was quite fast and attentive clearing dishes and bringing additional items you order from a tablet. They don't do either type of bbq or hotpot as well as others but it's pretty close and so fun to mix and match! A little extensive but if you can eat a lot it's a fair value. read more

one of my new go to spots! it's ayce hotpot & bbq! This place is solo friendly! I usually come here alone and i love the portion sizes. i would say the meat selection doesn't have a lot as other places but they do have good sides to make up for it. they also have an awesome sauce bar and a vast selection of drinks to choose from (dine - in only) they are still in their soft opening, i will be coming back! read more

I absolutely love HOW Pot it's the perfect spot if you want both hot pot and BBQ in one place. One of the best parts is how easy ordering is. You get an iPad where you can pick all your meats, veggies, noodles, and more, which makes the whole experience smooth and convenient. The sauce bar is a standout. There are tons of options, including some you don't usually see at other hot pot or KBBQ spots like fish sauce, sriracha, and hoisin. It's great if you like mixing your own flavors. They also have a lot of extras: * Unlimited canned sodas (just grab what you want) * Bottled green tea * Self-serve rice * When we went, they had a Vietnamese braised pork with egg dish that was really good * Taro sago for dessert * A freezer with Häagen‑Dazs ice cream on a stick * Even a couple arcade machines if you want something fun to do The service was awesome. The staff checked on us often and were super friendly they even took time to have conversations with us, which made the experience feel more personal. The place itself is clean and has a nice atmosphere overall. We'll definitely be back read more

Being able to boil and grill your meat is definitely a unique experience worth trying once. The price is fair for the quality, but the options are quite limited. It's more for college students, and falls short from all the other great hot pots/kbbq places out there. They do not serve alcohol. read more

HOW Pot - Hot Pot Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I always avoid places that do hotpot and BBQ in one since they're often jack-of-all-trades, master of none. This place is no exception. I already wanted to leave when I saw the price ($40) was different from what my friend told me ($29.95). These are still being advertised as "soft opening" prices, but the restaurant seems to have been in soft opening indefinitely. I came on the wrong day and stayed only because it was pouring outside. From the moment we walked in, the place didn't feel very clean. Everything felt oily/greasy and sticky. We ordered the same soup base. My girlfriend's hotpot started boiling immediately, while mine barely steamed so I had to start with BBQ first. I hate doing BBQ on a piece of paper. Whoever started this trend should never be allowed to skip ads again. If a restaurant can't bother with cleaning or replacing the grill, they shouldn't offer BBQ at all. I had zero expectation for their BBQ and it was as expected. Totally skippable. 2000 years later, my broth still wasn't boiling. I called over the waiter, who discovered my pot was malfunctioning and had us switch tables. Part of our dining time was wasted because of this. Service was fast and good. On the bright side, the hotpot was much better, as that's clearly their main focus. The menu offered a good variety of options, and I especially enjoyed the appetizers and sides. That said, nothing particularly memorable about the broth or ingredients, but the more I struggled with their terrible BBQ, the more I appreciated having a decent hotpot to fall back on. After surviving the BBQ, the hotpot felt like a tiny victory even if it didn't wow me. Parking is very limited and can be a hassle. We were lucky to get one of the few spots reserved for the restaurant across the street. Not something I'd try again for $40+ and I had bad GI issues after this visit. read more

I had such a great experience at How Pot. If you're looking for variety and value, this place truly delivers. They offer so many options for both KBBQ and hot pot with tons of fresh vegetables, seafood, different cuts of meat, and even fruit. There's something for everyone. What really makes How Pot stand out is everything that comes with the experience. They offer desserts, slushies, other drinks, ice cream bars, and even soft serve, which makes it feel like more than just a meal. It's a full dining experience. The sauce bar is honestly the best I've seen. I wish every KBBQ place had one like this. They provide everything you need to create your own perfect dip, garlic, cilantro, sesame oil, chili oil, and so many other options. Being able to customize your sauce exactly how you like it really elevates the meal. Overall, it's absolutely worth the price for the experience. The variety, quality, and extras make it feel like you're getting so much for what you pay. I would definitely come back again. read more

Gently the food was great, however as someone who doesn't eat red meat they didn't have much options for seafoood and no chicken options at all. Despite that the broth was very tasty and the self service drinks, dessert, and sauce options were nice! read more

This was my first hotpot experience and it was pretty good overall. The staff was very kind and attentive to our needs. I thought the $40 per person price was great- seeing as you could eat as much meat and sides as you could eat. I enjoyed the variety of available things. I got the original broth, which was okay. Everything else was great! They have a station where you can add toppings to a bowl and use it to dip your meat or whatever in it. The only thing I don't really enjoy was the fact that they don't really instruct you on how to turn on your stations and when. They just gave us the menu on a tablet and told us to order. read more

Looked for a AYCE hot pot place on a whim & found this place! You order off an iPad like most places & the staff is super attentive and quick to bring you your items! The actual place is pretty clean + the bussers are super quick to clean up other finished tables. The current price as of today is $39.95!) They're actually AYCE hot pot + kbbq w/ a big sauce bar (with literally any type of sauce? They even have maggi and fish sauce!), included soft drink or tea, ice cream bars, slushee's, dessert + taro sago! Which was an absolute surprise bc I didn't read any of the reviews prior to coming in. They have a pretty big selection of meats for both hot pot & kbbq, as well as fried foods like fries + chicken wing and also dim sum if you're looking for that. Plus I felt that the meat was pretty good quality too! The only thing is that ai feel like they're lacking a tiiiiny bit in the vegetable department, only 4 leafy greens & one of them is lettuce (probably for the kbbq?, I'd love to see a bigger variety like a choy, broccoli .. etc) BUT all things aside, I'd totally recommend this place if you're looking for a quick and easy hot pot night w/ all the fixings. read more

Here you get dim sum, hot pot AND KBBQ all in one place, and in AYCE fashion too! Too bad I came during dinnertime around 5pm on a Friday and didn't get any dim sum for this review... or I just didn't see it when I was walking around the sauce bar :( My group of 4 got seated really fast since the place was virtually empty when we got in, though it filled up almost completely by the time we were finished eating. There's tons of tables strewn about, and K-pop was playing in the background, mostly music from TWICE. Each person gets their own hot pot and grill in front of them, and you order anything you want through a tablet, while you grab your sauces and desserts up at a self-serve bar near the back. I remember this place used to be another hot pot place, or my memory's just foggy since I don't really hit up this stretch of Chinatown very often. At the start, we all got to choose a flavor of slushie. While all my friends chose strawberry (they all said theirs was good), I got the Coke slushie, which was essentially Coke in slush form which I was pretty satisfied with. We got a variety of meats - lamb, chicken, pork belly and sausages, most of which were for our hot pots - and veggies - cabbage, enoki mushrooms, regular mushrooms, kimchi, and others. Most meats we got were for our hotpots, with only two of them being solely for the grill. As for soup bases, I got the regular house special beef soup base along with another friend, and my other two friends got their spicy mala soup base. That base made a mess of my linen shirt but I guess that's how you know they're seriously delicious, and how spicy works with almost anything here. Personal non-meat favorites were the lotus root (fresh and crunchy), the crab sticks (which fell apart easily but was tender) and enoki mushrooms. All this came to about $40 per person, which is on the pricier end but we were all full and made it worth our money. General meat quality was nothing eye-opening but it works. This is Chinatown, so parking is a doozy; street parking is advised but is hard to come across especially during peak hours. I'll come back at a later time to get their dim sum, vanilla soft serve and some of their other sides. read more

I came here in a whim but I have to say I am glad i did. Definitely a different set up in regards to tables and stuff but i really liked it. Each person had their own little set up. We came a little later so we were a little rushes but it was good. The broth was flavorful and spicy. The meats like the gal bi and the beef belly were also tasty as was the lamb. I'll definitely be back if im ever in town again read more

Hot pot and grill in one go, decent menu options with all the important items available. Think I ate the thin sliced short rib meat the most. Even in a busy night, servers felt present and aware of us. Sauce bar is free to mix, no guide on recommendations though. Drinks included on AYCE menu are the usual sodas and bottled tea. Not the most premium of offerings but for the price they charge, this place provides plenty enough. I believe we paid $355 after tax and tip for 6 people. read more

Fun experiences! I came here with one of the doctors and our team. Staff dropped all the things we ordered off the iPad. Lots of choices but I wish there was more seafood and meat selections. They had lamb and pork but I couldn't have either so with only two beef selection I couldn't really complain. You get a hot pot and a kbbq plate for your choosing. I got the spicy beef mala broth and I thought it was so good. The veggies and stuff were unlimited and for the price you really cannot beat. I want to take my siblings here because it's a good deal. The space is spacious and drinks and ice cream selections were good. Also get the shrimp rolls! It's big and really packed with fillings. read more

HOW Pot - My eating area. - Hot Pot Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wandered here during my last trip to Seattle and was pleasantly surprised with everything here! We visited on a Thursday night and while we didn't have to wait for a table, almost all the tables were filled. This is a mix of shabu AND kbbq right at your table. You order all the broth, meats, veggies, and sides on your table's iPad and they bring it to your table. We ordered quite a lot and they had a side cart to put additional food on. There was a robust sauce bar that you can mix together to create your perfect personalized dipping sauce. There's also a nice display of various fruits (we had watermelon, lychee, and grapes) and rice with braised meat. To our surprise, they even had a huge fridge of drinks (sodas, diet soda, green tea, etc). Everything was so tasty and service was excellent! At the end, they even offered soft serve ice cream cones. read more

HOW Pot - Table for two! - Hot Pot Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here for lunch on a weekend. This place is an AYCE place that includes options for: dim sum, Korean bbq and hot pot items. It also includes non-alcoholic drinks, some various snacks and ice cream. The price we paid was $30 per person, which is a great deal! I enjoyed the Korean bbq the most here, they had a good amount of different choices. The dim sum is minimal, but it included what I usually get at dim sum, which are bbq pork buns and shrimp dumplings. For hot pot, you still have a few different broths to choose from and veggies. I like the system they created for your eating space, that makes it easy to enjoy everything at once. I enjoyed this place and would definitely come back here. read more

Very fresh veggies and meats are of pretty good quality. Set ayce price includes everything, including soft drinks. No alcohol being served at this place. I like that you get your own pot and griddle (you're supposed to grill over the piece of parchment paper and replace that with another sheet once that's charred enough). We had people with dietary restrictions in our party and they were very accommodating. Everything is ordered through their tablet. Self-serve condiments in a central location. There's a giant pot of rice. I can't believe I missed out on the braised pork though. It smelled and looked really good. If you order any of their dim sum selections, they only come in a single piece. The restaurant is pretty strict about setting their 90 minute time limit. Overall, we had a fun and very full experience. Will come back one of these days. read more

Alrightyyy, word of caution of eating here ~ be prepared to multi task since you'll be cooking BOTH hot pot and KBBQ at the same time :) For those who enjoy both hot pot and KBBQ, definitely would suggest coming to How Pot. With an all you can eat for both options, this chaotic but yummy experience is worth it. Things to note: Parking: Limited street parking. If you can't find a spot, there is a public paid lot behind the building with reasonable rates. Reservations: If you have a large group, would suggest putting in a reservation, especially on weekend evenings Interior: Modern and chic. For the table format, smaller groups would be easier. For my group of 5, we had some minor difficulty in sharing food due to the limited shelf / surface space area. Service: a little slow but friendly staff Food Layout: Self Serve! 1. Sauce Bar: There is a standard sauce bar to make your hot pot sauce PLUS premade sauces for your KBBQ 2. Misc Sauce Area: If you're looking for soy sauce or other sauce, make sure to look at the random sauce bar area to the side. All the other sauces are stored in bottles 3. Drinks Area: You can grab your own drink like soda, tea and etc 4. Rice: If you fancy some rice, grab a bowl and serve yourself Hot Pot 1. Broth: Had the tomato flavor and it was ok. Not as flavorful compared to other places. 2. Ingredients: Ordered a variety of veggies and meat and overall, good quality! Also, meat quantity was plentiful so be careful to not over order KBBQ 1. Ingredients: Rather limited in the options offered. Wish there were more side dishes that are traditional to KBBQ and meat selections was rather slim 2. Meat Quality: hit or miss. One of the pork belly tasted a bit odd but overall, most of the other meats tasted ok 3. Dimsum: Did try some shu mai (shrimp and pork dumplings) and it was meh. Would suggest saving room for the hot pot or KBBQ! Overall, if I'm craving for both options, would swing by here again as the price is pretty affordable. read more

We stumbled upon this place after seeing a video on TikTok. We visited on a Wednesday evening around 6pm. We got seated right away with no wait. The service was great, they explained to us how everything works and gave us the IPad to order. First off, the parking situation is limited. There is slim to none street parking. There is a paid lot next to the building. Pros: great service, cool concept with hot pot and bbq, great sauce bar, ability to grab own drinks and ACYE option. Cons: the limited selection of meats to bbq, the quality of the food and the paper always burning on the bbq grill. I only grilled short ribs on my personal grill but had the wax paper/parchment paper changed 3 time. Overall this new place was a great experience but would not die or crave to come back. Good to check it out for first timers. read more

Can't decide if you want to do hotpot or kbbq? Why not both? This is a great spot for AYCE hotpot and kbbq. I love that each person has their own hotpot and grill - more hygienic and you can get your preferred broth. It's great that it's AYCE as well, including the drinks and soft serve ice cream. Note that when you order items, they have really small portions but that could be advantageous because you can try more things before getting full. The meat quality is decent, considering their AYCE rate is quite affordable. The service was good too, they were quite attentive and are good at taking away empty plates. read more

I love this place. Customer service was great, super helpful the whole time and they constantly checked up on us. You really get the best of both worlds here with hot pot and KBBQ, which I love. My favorite was the house soup and the wagyu eye round, so good. The sauce bar was also a highlight, I love how many options they give you to mix and make your own sauces. They even had taro sago for dessert and it was so good. Also, the cows on the walls? SOOO cute. It looks like they were hand-drawn and it just adds such a fun vibe. My daughter loved it, especially since they had K-pop music playing on the other side of the wall. Honestly, no complaints. Everything about this place was A1. Definitely coming back. read more

TLDR: really delicious and worth the price ($30 lunch time). Not great for dates - hard to talk over the food between you and cooking your own meals. Service was AWESOME. Very clean, looks new, and a lot of space. Heard about this and thought it'd be the best of both worlds for couples or groups who can't agree on kbbq vs hot pot. Mushroom broth: very flavorful, great with noodles and to drink on its own. Spicy beef tallow: not much flavor undertone (unsalted) , can choose your own level of spice. The difference between lunch and dinner besides the price is the amount of side dishes that are available (I'm speculating bc I've only been this once). There is a whole area for side dishes that was empty when we went (which was right at opening on a Wednesday). Service was a highlight ! They cleared empty dishes almost immediately and after a water spill, they came and helped us right away. Ordering is done from an iPad at each table. There is also a selection of canned beverages and soft serve for dessert ! Y they have other dessert selections a part of the AYCE as well. Would definitely go back if someone came to town to visit ! read more

They have been closed for at least 3 weeks now, no messages or notices for why they are closed. So sad, I loved coming here.

Finally, the answer to so many arguments - should we eat KBBQ or hotpot? Now I can have both! Although it's only their soft opening, HOWpot is already one of my new favorite spots. For about $35/adult, I love the options that I get - a good variety of broths as well as different meats, veggies, and sides for either bbq or hotpot. They also have cool drink options, cold snack items like spicy pig ear and spicy beef, a delicious hot bar with great dimsum and fried options, and a sauce bar for DIY dipping sauces. Service was amazing; our server was friendly and attentive, and everything came out quickly. We came on a Wednesday around lunch time and I was surprised at how busy it remained. read more

Came on a Tuesday night and there was no wait, although there weren't too many empty tables. Overall for the price, I'd say it's very worth it! They had a lot of options in the self serve area. The dim sum was pretty good for an AYCE place. The fried foods were all very crispy and fresh. Fruits were sweet refreshing. The meat quality itself was also pretty good! A good selection of meats, seafood, veggies to choose from. I think the broth does the job, but nothing too special. Maybe I need to try a different one because I got the bone broth and heard the spicy is better.

Came here around 1:30 pm on a Sunday thinking we waited out the lunch crowd. It turns out we were stuck waiting for the lunch crowd. It took 45 minutes before we got seated. We were starving so it would have been nice to have some snacks while we waited. The service was quick but they won't tell you what you are receiving as they serve it. The bbq portion was alright but it took forever to cook. The hot pot side was good flavors. The meats here were great quality and we loved the seasonings. For drinks, wished they had sparkling water. They also have a ice cream machine for dessert which we loved. It is hectic here. I would come back but give it some time. There was a lot of seating when we were done near 4.

I ordered the house broth and it was packed with flavor. There's also a lot of options for hotpot/grilling and everything I ate was tasty.

I ate here yesterday with a friend. The HOW Pot gets a 2/5 rating for me. Here's my review breakdown: Pros: - Soft opening price is $29.99--a steal if you're on a budget. - Everyone gets their own hot pot, so no sharing! The table setup isn't super spacious, but it's stackable, which works. - The treats at the front desk are fire--Recess, chocolates, and mints are a nice touch. - You can trust the soda quality since it comes from can. - They offer both BBQ and hot pot, which is a cool combo. Cons: - The host, an older guy, is pretty rude. Customer service is lacking--he clearly doesn't care, but to be fair, he's probably just doing his job. Not a huge deal, but it sets the tone - The app they use for the waitlist is buggy and unreliable, which makes the wait unnecessarily frustrating. Why How Pot is a whole lotta mid: - Only come here if you're starving and don't care much about quality. The best way to describe it is, the food quality for college kids--don't expect it to compare to Haidilao or Dollar Shop. - It's decent for what it is, but we left unsatisfied despite being hungry when we arrived. Not worth the 2 hour wait. In short, I will not be coming back to this place read more

Hotpot and bbq, talk about the best of both worlds. HOW Hotpot seems to have mix reviews, and I understand why. I had gone with three other people for lunch on a weekday, practically when they opened. We were seated right way. They do have their own waitlist system , so get your name on there asap, especially if you have a large party. I was amazed with the set up. Everyone gets their own individual hotpot as well as mini grill plate. There is enough space plus an extra side table for items ordered or dirty dishes. Ordering from the tablet was easy and quick. The sauce bar was labeled and laid out. They even had prepared portioned dips for you to take to your table. Then cold food section was good. Not too much variety. Like seaweed salad, cut fruit, kimchi and meat salads. But with everything else available, it was enough. The hot food section had 4 steamed dim sum items, deep fried items like shrimp spring rolls, chicken wings, and deep fried buns with condensed milk. Unfortunately the ice cream machine was down (maybe they only turn it on for dinner?), and the espresso machine is only good for pulling shots but no hot latte options. You could use the condensed milk and a few creamers if you need that milky goodness. The staff was on top of everything, including water refill, soup refill, changing out the parchment paper when your grill gets too gooky, and taking way empty dishes. The quality of every was good. I like how you can interchange items to either go on the grill or in your hotpot. They do limit your stay to 90 minutes. And sometimes keeping track of the time can escape you. So I can see why most of the complains are for hour long waits. Do go on a weekday to avoid longer wait times on the weekends. read more

A solid place for some hot pot and bbq. Each individual gets their own pot and little grill. This was great as we wanted to grill some meats as well have hot pot. They do have a good selection of food to choose from. They have a sauce station where you can make your own dipping sauce. They also have a beverage area (pick your own soda or ice tea) as well as a fruit station and ice cream (drumsticks) that you can get. The service was friendly and attentive.

Finally a place in Seattle where you can get hot pot and kbbq in one place- plus dim sum! We went during soft opening so the wait was a bit long but got our table after an hour. Everyone gets their own small hot pot and grill. You order what you want on the iPad. Food: they have a good selection of meat, seafood, veggies, noodle and rice you can order for both hot pot and/or grilling. Meat is pretty good quality for the price and they give you big portions each round. There's a dim sum (shrimp dumpling, siu mai, buns) and appetizer bar (tempura prawns, egg rolls, chicken wings). Plus a sauce bar that's included in the price. Also unlimited drinks like coffee, tea, soda and ice cream at the end. Price: $39.99 per person for dinner which is pretty comparable to other AYCEs in Seattle Service: they were busy but the staff were still very attentive and quick read more

It was just okay. We went on a Thursday for lunch at 12:30, and we got there just before the lunch rush, so we got seated right away. The service is fast and the restaurant is clean. As for the food, we tried all the meats. The quality is okay. It's not the highest quality meat we've had for hot pot/kbbq, and only some things tasted really good. The sliced meats were fine and we really liked the short rib, but the worst thing we had was the seasoned beef. It was extremely bland for something that's seasoned. It's also kind of hard to get flavor using the grill instead of the hot pot, since it's hard to get a char on the meat. The rest of the food was okay, but there was almost no tempura or dim sum when we went, and all the desserts were sold out, including no sugar for the cotton candy machine. I'd say if you wanted to try it, go for lunch instead of dinner, because waiting and the price aren't worth it for dinner. Even though this is an ayce place, after one round my friends and I weren't full, but we really didn't want to eat more, because we just didn't like the taste enough to keep eating. It cost us $38 per person for lunch, including tax and tip. read more

AYCE hot pot, Korean barbeque, dim sum, and other hot bar items. Took us long enough to establish a hot pot and KBBQ fusion in Washington. Not quite like the ones in other states, but amazing in a different way. Each person gets their own hot pot and grill rather than being a shared experience. Most items are flexible for either hot pot or grilling, but there are two or three meats that they recommend a specific cooking method. Insanely attentive service! Order items to cook through an iPad (pictured attached) and self serve everything else that's already edible. Stumbled upon this Yelp page after there was an hour wait at our original plan. Always fun to run into a new spot when I visit town. I was skeptical after reading the reviews and not seeing information on Google or social media. Happy to share that everything is legit. Price is a bit high but I think it's warranted. Plus there's something for everyone, especially for the picky eaters or indecisive friends. Parking is in Chinatown so it can be rough. There's a paid public parking area right next door which saves a lot of hassle. The dim sum portion consists of four items, shrimp dumplings (har gow), siu mai, salted egg yolk custard buns, and a fourth bun that looks like char siu bao but not positive. Hot bar includes shrimp tempura, fried chicken wings, popcorn chicken, and fried pork. There's also an assortment of vegetables, salad bar items, and fruit. Sauce bar is also available. For dessert, they offer soft serve (vanilla and chocolate), cotton candy, and steamed buns with condensed milk. Soda is included in the price, they have a good selection of soft drinks and tea. For any coffee enjoyers, they also have a fancy coffee machine, which I did not experience as I dined in late. Vanilla soft serve was watered down and tasted light like soy milk but the chocolate was much more flavorful. Popcorn chicken and fried pork were a bit dry, but the chicken wings and tempura were fantastic. All of the wagyu meats were fatty and delicious but it's worth trying all the other cuts as well. I was a bigger fan of grilling for the fattiness but it gets pretty oily without a drain (replacement grill paper at each table). read more

This place had us with very high hopes at first, but kind of turned out to be so so. Starting off when we checked in there was no time to show how long we would be waiting just how many parties were ahead of us. When we sat down, no one explained to us how this place works (it was our first time) and we pretty much had to figure out the grill and their ordering system on our own. The food for the amount it cost was limited on their iPad. The self serve bar was mainly self serve drinks and a place you make your own sauce. It was awkward most of the time as there was no music and you could hear other peoples conversations without trying. Overall def a 3/5. Hasn't been the best place on our Seattle trip. read more
