    We tried quite the spread here! This restaurant is pretty big (I only think so coming from the city) and we were really quickly seated on a weekend during lunchtime. The staff were super friendly and constantly checked in with us, switching the grill and cleaning out plates. We did both bbq and hotpot, and it was amazing. First of all, their sauce bar is definitely the best I've seen! They have all the sauces and some premade ones, any combination is sure to be delicious! I also ate lots of their crab legs, which were decently sized and sooo yummy. The bbq meat was pretty good, but my favorite was definitely the marinated short ribs. I tried tomyum as my hotpot base and I loved it. I had a really good experience here and highly recommend to others!

    I loved it. I am southern tho and I miss seafood boils. If you don't like food in a plastic bag there are various options. You can do a Korean bbq or the hot Pot options where they bring a ton of food to the table and you cook it in a pot or on a grill. The service was great. Fast easy. The ambience is very 'bar in a hotel' on one side and family / group restaurant on the other. The bathroom is shared with the hotel lobby, walk past the bar and down the hall.

    Soooo good. The flavor was out of this world. For as messy as the eating can get I was very impressed at how clean everything was. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. If you love seafood...you have to come to hungry pot.

    Hot Pot Again after stoping by floor and decor on federal rd. Nice and easy parking , Good broth and nice selection of condiments including sides.

    Octopus  - so good !!

    It was very busy there, but nevertheless their service was very good. You can get food from a self service buffet and decide between Chinese hotpot and Korean bbq. We picked Korean bbq. The food Was delicious, you can't miss their octopus!! Also They changed the pan (it's all you can eat and we were quite hungry). Great experience and I'll be there again !!

    FAKE SPAM

    So I was initially very excited to hear a Korean BBQ / Hot pot place finally located in CT. I grew up in Northern NJ and was used to some great Korean Restaurants and BBQ. Let me tell you this is not it. I guess if you never had great Korean BBQ or hot pot you can be tricked into thinking this is great. But it's not. Let me break it down. The ordering system just sucks. In NJ, the shabu shabu places only take order for your drinks and the meats/fish. Everything else is self serve. You get to pick your own vegetables, noodles, fish cake, side dishes, dessert, sauces....the sky is the limit. But here you have to order it through the servers. It's a major hassle. The 4 of us decided to do the hot pot. We picked the Hungry Pot soup base...I'm not really sure what that was. It looked like old paint water. The meat for the hot pot was okay. But they cut it way too thin... it's supposed to be a specific thickness. The meat portions are also very small. And when you want more you have to track down the server to get more meat. Although the quality of the meat was okay I found the overall quality of the sides to be way below par. The shrimp dumplings were terrible and this takes the cake. FAKE SPAM. Come on man. In what world do you serve fake spam. I grew up eating spam. I love spam. But fake Spam? No freaking thank you. It's the first time saying this... but whatever was served doesn't do Spam justice. If you want to see hot pot done right, go to Garden Shabu in Little Ferry NI. And for BBQ goto Seoul BBQ in New Britain. Hungry pot was just overall an absolute disappointment. With that being said everyone around us seemed to be having a good time and enjoying themselves....but personally. I'd rather have KFC with cold beer from the package store than be served fake spam.

    I have to start off by saying Xavier our server was Amazing. So patient he had to explain the process to us twice and we had many question. Every person from the hostess to bus boys were very service minded. Hungry Pot is the new sensation in Danbury CT that opened Monday May 12th. Hungry Pot is all You can eat, with three choices for cuisines - Cajun Seafood Boil, Korean BBQ, and Hot Pot. Ask your server but I believe there is a time limit for ordering. My husband and I did both the Korean BBQ and Hotpot. Each person at the table chooses their options for each food type. Each option has - beef, chicken, pork, seafood protein choice, vegetable choices, then noodles, rice, and dumpling choices. You do have the option to choose one item from every category. All the items are brought to your table raw or frozen for You to include in your hotpot or grill on the BBQ. The Hot pot is a soup based meal. There are five or six choices for your soup base. The soup is brought out in a pot and put on the small burner show in my pics.Then You choose options to add to the soup base. While your waiting for your food to cook to arrive off to the side their is a help yourself area for all types of sauces, herbs, and spices. In the same area as the sauces there are spring rolls and crispy chicken to eat almost as an appetizer. What kept Hungry Pot from being five stars? The sauces were out in a bar with ladles. Then a small sign was on top of the bar with a diagram of the sauce names. When You have people waiting behind You its hard to really look at the signs. Also many many people are touching those ladles and they are not constantly being changed. I think a series of squeeze bottles with waterproof labels maybe quicker and less of a germ factor. I have a few suggestions for others that I did not know being a 1st timer. When the staff comes around and asks if you want the plate on the grill changed? After You have grilled a few things have them change it. My husband kept saying No and I feel like it affected the food taste. My next suggestion find out if You are able to use the sauces on the grill? Or if the sauces are just for dipping? I felt like we put our server through so many questions I could not ask him another thing. Several birthdays were going on while we dined. Hungry Pot has a big light up sign and a happy birthday song is played over the P.A. system. Fun yet annoying after three of them.

This was my second experience recently at a Hot Pot, but it felt incredibly different. This was somewhere that feels more intimate and private, it's honestly a quiet place. Your server will hand you a paper to mark down the broths, meats, veggies, appetizers and main dishes to order. You have the option to choose "All You Can Eat" for $31.99 or choose individually. Note *If someone orders the "All You Can Eat," everyone at the table has to as well. Please do be mindful that this is a 2 hr limit (to order) if you decide to choose this. I ordered the Beef Brisket Radish, and it was incredibly delicious. My friend had ordered the Oxtail w. Wolfberry, and that one was tasty too! Between meats, we had ordered sliced beef, swai fish, & shrimp balls. Now with veggies, the enoki, fresh corn, bok choy, n bean sprouts were great. Finally, for main dishes I had ordered some vermicelli, rice, an egg, and rice cake. Anytime you are interested in something additional, you can press the call button to the side. You can walk to the back to get sauces (mix to make your own concoction) to dip your meats or veggies in. I'd recommend to add a bit of sugar to your sauce. The whole experience was great, our waitress was incredibly kind and gave me some pointers to the stove. It functions through a button feature on a remote to the side of the stove. I would most definitely come to eat again sometime in the future!

We got our soup bases first, rice, then meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles, everything arrived quickly and stayed stocked. Service was great and our waitress Dana was nice. A few things were disappointing though: the grill wasn't centered on the table and kept turning off, which made cooking a little frustrating and cramped. This location also doesn't offer crab legs (even though we saw them online), which was a big letdown for my daughter. The sauce/appetizer station was just wack, the dessert area was really lacking no ice cream, only sponge cake and some stale looking popcorn. Dana did bring our table 1 cupcake, which was sweet of her. Overall, we had fun and left full after about 1.5 hours, (limit is 2) but the desserts, missing crab legs, and grill issues make me not want to return. The food itself was fresh and flavorful, though, and service was fast and friendly.

First time for me, and hopefully not the last. Unfortunately, I live in DC but this will definitely be on the list of favorite restaurants to return to. FOOD: Holy Shabu-moly! The fish cake, veggie, noodle, dumpling, sauce selection was too much. Seriously, I mean that literally. Patrons are paralyzed by the paradox of choice. Fewer options would help me focus on the essentials and allow me more time eating than deciding. Lol. Honestly I wish I would have just focused on ordering the meats. SERVICE: We had a young waiter who was very attentive, professional, accommodating, and understanding. Also, an older gentleman who I can only imagine was a manager, stopped by to fill our water glasses and ensure we were happy with everything.

Considering how good the food is here, I can totally see this spot getting very busy on weekends. + As of April 2026, the all you can eat pricing is very reasonable with it ranging from $18.95 - $35.95, depending on the time of day (lunch or dinner), day of the week (weekday or weekend/holiday) and whether you want to include meats and seafood (which I TOTALLY recommend).

These days BBQ & Hot Pot is the new rave. It's a thriving all you can eat kind of business. Only difference is who has better selections? If I say Commack vs Flushing. Flushing wins hands down all the time. BUT! For where they are no real competitors, I'd say they have a fair selection of choices. Service was spectacular, food was fresh, sauces were your typical selections depending on how you like it and free little ice creams at the end of it all!
