The place is super clean, with lots of space and a bright, comfortable vibe. Service was great too. I really liked that you can just grab whatever you want, including drinks and without having to wait around! Makes the whole experience feel super easy and chill. What honestly surprised me the most was that after a full BBQ + hot pot meal, my clothes didn't smell smoky at all... which is kind of amazing If you like having the freedom to eat at your own pace and not deal with waiting, this is definitely your kind of spot. One of my favorite all-you-can-eat places so far! read more

This place is honestly incredible given the limited variety that Memphis has. It's super clean, $30-$35 for all you can eat hot pot, bbq, or both (important to note that everyone in your party has to pick the same thing). All of the items are self serve & the buffet area is well organized, clean, labeled clearly, & consistently tended to. My favorite feature was the unlimited refrigerated self serve drinks area! Never seen that before & they have some fun drinks to try. Quality of the meats I'd give 4/5, but overall 5/5 experience. Highly recommend! read more

False advertising! I messaged them on Facebook to confirm their anniversary promotional price. They explicitly replied 'yes' and told me to come in without a reservation. When we arrived, the receptionist took a photo of my chat, but then management refused to honor the price, claiming they 'don't know who wrote that.' Pure disinformation. Avoid this dishonest place! read more

HQ Korean BBQ & Hot Pot And The Juicy Crab - Korean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Our recent visit was the first time we have ever had Korean hot pot and barbecue. Our biggest concern was that we would not know what to do or how to do it. The moment we walked in our concerns, vanished. We told the waitress it was our first time ever and she was amazing. She gave us a tour of the different food areas, explained what everything was, answered all of our questions, and then went above and beyond showing us how to cook the food. After just a few moments, my husband and I felt like experts. We were so impressed. If you are new, don't be afraid to tell them! They want you to have a good experience. I ordered the hot pot and got the herb broth. I thought it was delicious. Since this was our first time having hot pot, I don't know how to review the selection, but I thought it was nice. I think I ate my weight in different mushrooms. My husband had the Korean barbecue and thoroughly enjoyed it. They also offer Japanese sushi and have a bar just for appetizers. Their desserts were also tasty. The restaurant was incredibly clean and staff were continuously cleaning the bar area as people used it. Whether you're a vegetarian or a carnivore, you'll love this place! read more

Super cute spot with a great vibe inside! HQ Korean BBQ & Hot Pot offers a wide variety of meats and seafood, and I loved that it's self-serve with unlimited drinks like Ramune and other fun options included. The tom yum soup base for the hot pot was especially flavorful! Service was friendly and quick. My only critique is that the sauce bar could use a little more variety compared to other places, but overall, it's a fun and tasty experience. Definitely worth a visit! read more

HQ Korean BBQ & Hot Pot And The Juicy Crab - Korean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Service was great. However, the booth concept and having to get up so many times to get food is a nuisance. Especially when we had 6 people and the end person had to get up to let the people out. If they swapped out the booths with chairs, it would be a better experience. Also. The 6 people table needs at least 2 grills. 6 people and 1 grill took too long. The Korean bbq meats were way too sweet. The quality of food was ok. Definitely a lesser selection than 901 hot pot. But HQ has sushi and sashimi which is a plus. All drinks are included in the price. I'll say there's better option than HQ now in Memphis. Overall, if it's just a couple of people, I'll say HQ is a decent place. But more than that, it's a hassle getting up and letting people out to get more food. read more

BBQ hot pot restaurants offer a unique dining experience that blends the interactive fun of grilling marinated meats Korean BBQ style with the comforting warmth of cooking fresh ingredients in customizable hot pot broths. A wide variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles. You have full control over cooking--grilling (tip pick one person as the designated cook) your meat to perfection and simmering ingredients in flavorful broths--making it ideal for those who enjoy diverse, hands-on Asian cuisine that combines smoky, sizzling flavors with rich, savory soups. Many say I'm not going to a restaurant and pay to cook for myself. It's about the experience get a group of 6 friends (if you got friends) Don't knock it till you try it read more

Things you should know before going: everyone at the table must order the same thing. You will be cooking your own food. The waiter will be happy to swap your hot plate out if you just ask. Going straight in, we didn't know the above info so it was an awkward dining experience. The food selection is AMAZING. So that wasn't the issue. The sauces were delicious. Drink selection a wide variety. Our waiter was polite and accommodating but didn't tell us about the hot plate swapping until we had already mixed seafood with meat. Ohh well! (Shrug) You've got to know how to use a black-stone to cook if you don't go with the soup option. I am not adept at using the black stone so I left the cooking to my husband. He did an excellent job and I very much enjoyed the things he cooked. Which leads me to the truth of the review! Why am I paying so much to cook my own food? If this is your type of thing then by all means, this is the place to be! Wide selection and very modern. But if this isn't your thing, and we didn't prefer it, then you're going to struggle. Overall-great for other people. Just not me. read more

Hot pot here is the best. With multiple choices of materials and drinks. Precooked dumplings are great too. Crawfish is really spicy.

Everything was so good, I love the fact that it's self served, our server was really nice and helped us out with everything, it's a huge venue. They definitely have plenty of room for everyone. And the hugest thing I loved about this place was that they include the cost of the drink in the price and they don't just have regular drinks. They also have Asian drinks. Definitely a unique experience and I will be back. read more

love the food, but its one waitress who is beyond lazy. you have to beck for her to serve you and she doesn't take plates off the table yet expects a tip. YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR A TIP!!!!!!!! read more

This new hot pot place is so cute! Inside seating is super spacious and you have personal hot pot soups & a grill in the middle. Their style is different, in that everything is self-serve. No waiting for a robot (or person) to bring out your food. They have a sauce bar, fruit bar, veggies, noodles, some sushi, unique salads (pictured), a fried section (think fries, nuggets, fried dumplings, etc.) and several meat options. They also have a wall/area full of drinks such as Ramune soda, Asian tea varieties, cane sugar drink, coconut water, aloe water (I think?), and familiar coke products. These drinks are included in the meal, which is unique! I had a Chinese sweet tea (red can w/ yellow writing) and a jasmine tea (taller, green and white bottle). They had eggs!! Also clams, crab legs, and chicken feet. They also had other unique items such as a dish featuring pig ear. They have a small cooler next to the drink wall which contains small cups of ice cream. They will ask if you want to change out your grill, often, take their offers because the grill charts up quick. My ONLY negative thing to say, is the grill is sooooo hot it cooks the meat outside quicker and can leave the inside raw. I'm not sure if there is a setting to lower the heat to fix this, maybe worth asking and it's good to note. The service was great, since everything is self-serve the waitstaff mainly make sure you're okay and changing out the grill. Overall very great experience! read more

HQ Korean BBQ & Hot Pot And The Juicy Crab - Inside - Korean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

It's mid. Not bad for Memphis considering it is ayce and self serve. They have decent variety but could be of better quality.

Great hot pot spot in Memphis! I love the self-serve setup -- you can get as much food as you want, whenever you want it. The space is clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the unlimited fancy drinks are a big bonus. read more

There are many variety items for both hot pot and bbq. The waitress was very friendly and explaining the menu items and very attentive. We enjoyed the dining experience especially we were there around the last hour before they close. read more

Went on a Friday night with a party of 7. It was not crowded at all. They seated us in the back area for big parties. The waitress asked us what we were doing which was either Korean bbq, hotpot or both. We all got the Korean bbq and hot pot dinners. Remember that everyone has to do all hot pot, or all Korean bbq, or do both which is what we decided to do. The waitress took our orders of the hot pot broths. My first time being there I peruse the food and drink stations on what I wanted. Helpful tip, keep all raw meats and seafood on one plate and keep your raw veggies on one plate. Please only take what you can eat a little at a time so to not be wasteful. We were fortunate to have a big table to put all our plates on the table. Also, get new chopsticks or utensils that strictly touch the raw food so there is no cross contamination. Get clean plates and bowls for cook food for eating. I wasn't into the Korean bbq as much as far as cooking my own food, but one person on each burner needs to be the chef to cook food to keep track what's going on. Luckily we had 2 people that like to be the chefs of the Korean bbq cooking. I personally like the hotpot because I like soups. I ate mostly seafood because it cooks fast and not as filling as the meats. The cooked meat was good. I only tried 2 pieces of sushi since I am a sushi snob and rather go to a Japanese restaurant for that. I didn't try any other cooked food at the stations. The drink station had a variety of drinks to meet everyone's tastebuds. For dessert I had the orange sherbet ice cream but you will eat it slow with a plastic spoon since the ice cream is hard and makes you be careful not to break the spoon. Get a silver spoon if you can find it at one of the food stations. I had the green melon popsicle which was soft and good. The place and food stations were clean. The ventilation of the place was good and even though it can get smoky when you do the bbq grilling, I didn't smell like bbq when I left the place. It was very cool and comfortable too especially when you eat hot pot and you aren't sweating! I really like this place better than 901 Hotpot because I can get what I want and not have to wait for the servers to bring all the food to cook. We stayed over the 2 hour time limit but since it wasn't busy, they didn't kick us out. The price for dinner is $34.99 ($29.99 hotpot and $5 more add the Korean BBQ) and they add the 18% tip as well for big parties. The waitress was very attentive asking if we needed anything, and cleared our table when we were piling the plates up. Nice food experience and hanging out with the family. read more

The broths are simply not good! You want some good hot pot go down the street to 901 HOT POT !

Fun and the food was great! I do think the fried foods like the nuggets and fries needed more attention but overall was very impressed and had a great time. Can't wait to go back! read more

Been there twice now, once during lunch and once at dinner. Great quality and lots of variety of foods to choose from no matter what time you go. I like that everything is set out buffet style so you can pick and choose and take a little or a lot of what you like. We really enjoyed the variety of drinks to choose from as well. Our server was attentive and changed our grill plate often as the meats tend to burn pretty fast. Everyone in our party enjoyed the meal. read more

First time here and food is good. It's more of a buffet style where you go grab your own food but at least you don't have to keep waiting for meat. The customer service was good as well and the place is clean. Will be back again read more
