The service here is quick and the staff is attentive. The food is fresh and plentiful. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault because this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Ordering is easy. The waiter gave us an iPad and walked us through the menu and ordering process since it was our first time dining here. Once we placed our order, the meats were brought to the table within minutes! We ordered beef & chicken bulgogi, pork belly, and shrimp throughout our time there. It's fun to cook it over the tabletop grill. We did not opt for the hotpot. There is a buffet-style area with salad, sauces and lots of bonchon. Hubby spent a year in Korea and said the kimchi here tastes like he remembered it tasting in Korea. They serve mild kimchi so don't be afraid to try it. I love their daikon radish and spicy cucumbers, especially when eating with beef bulgogi. The kimchi hits right with bulgogi as well. We had so much fun here! Highly recommend!

It's all you can eat so don't expect 5 star service all the time. If you don't know the workers, they don't care about you. I notice that. Crab legs you have to order with the iPad now and crawfish is still unlimited and good. However I never know which beef slice I'm getting. Even if I order ribeye the second order doesn't look the same or taste the same. They mix ribeye and brisket all the time and I hate that. I use to rave about this place but only come when you crave it. Service has gone downhill

The menu is online, viewable by scanning the QR code in your booth, and at the end then you pay at the cashier not through the website. We each ordered the mini hotpot with two broths and got a table full of meats and veggies and even ordered a second round of meat (in hindsight, that was too much and we weren't able to finish it all). The sauce bar was fully stocked, and the ingredients were fresh. The bowls and spoons were a bit hard to find though and I had to ask for a staff member for help. The fruit bar was a bit empty, but there was enough for a dessert. The wait staff was very friendly, though they kept forgetting to refill our water, and we kept asking them about it. Overall, a great experience!

I saw "Soukie's Secret Sauce" in another Yelp review and made my own version without the bean curd or sugar. It was a great starting point, and mixing a sauce is part of the fun. I've eaten hot pot in several countries, and each place does things a little differently. If this is your first visit, ask plenty of questions so you can settle in and enjoy the experience. The gender neutral restrooms have always been immaculate when I've visited. On this particular night, the restroom on the right was out of paper towels. I let the staff know, and they took care of it. That kind of attention adds to an already enjoyable meal. I'd gladly come back.

I could order 2 of these for myself!! -Beef Bibimbap: I like how they give you the sauce to pour on by yourself. The beef was very tender and flavorful. -Banchan (side dishes) were yummy! I'm pretty sure the kimchi was made in house, it tasted so fresh and not extra salty like the prepackaged ones. The fish cakes and spicy cucumber were my second favorites.

When it comes to the food, it's hard to fully judge because of our experience with the service. The food I did try was pretty good, the meats were fresh, and some of the sides that came with them were really tasty. I mainly got full on the unlimited appetizers, which I really liked. Due to our service we didn't get a lot of items we truly wanted. Location: This location has a modern look with some nice traditional touches. It felt spacious, and we were seated in an area for larger groups. It's definitely a casual place that's good for families and get togethers. They do have private free parking. Service: The service is the reason I'm giving this place three stars. We were a party of 12 and divided by two tables of 6. We had two servers assigned to us. The women waitress was very friendly, but the older male waiter made the experience unpleasant. The process wasn't explained when we arrived, and we were supposed to circle the meats we wanted on a paper. However, he only asked one person at our table of 6 what they wanted, took the paper away before the rest of us could order, and told him he would bring the food which btw my friend only circled two items the guy rushed him and said "is ok I bring". About 10 minutes later, a cart full of meats that none of us ordered was brought to our table. When we asked for the items we actually wanted, he told us we had to eat what was already had the cart before he would bring anything else. I explained that nobody at our table had ordered those meats, but instead of acknowledging the mistake, he blamed the girl waitress, I don't think he realized I was watching him the whole time. I told the girl Waitress idk why he's trying to find who to blame when it was him. Thankfully, she was very accommodating and made sure we received the items we had originally wanted. 20% automatic charge due to the size of the group which I do feel like it's fair if the service was to par, but unfortunately it wasn't and we still paid that. Truthfully, I wouldn't come back. There are so many new hot pot restaurants in the area that I'd rather try. After reading other reviews, I noticed this seems to be a common experience.

The thing I've always liked about LaMei is that they always have fresh options. For AYCE the portions are pretty good. I wasn't expecting to get as much as I did for an order, so something to think about when placing orders. Sometimes you might get a couple of lonely mushrooms or 3 green leaves for a serving of Bok Choy. That was not the case here. The fish and meats were fresh and if you opt for the VIP option, there are appetizers included to nibble on while you cook your other stuff. You also get some more premium options and the hand pulled noodles had a nice chew to them. The service was good. They were efficient with cleaning plates as we used them and the food came out quickly. The sauce station has all the staples you'd expect to assemble your sauce. The AYCE option makes things a bit more affordable, but even if you don't use it, the fresh food will make it worthwhile.

The interior is quite large, and while the lobby has a nice fountain, the dining area rug is ratty and the seats are patched with tape. Like American Chinese food, the best years are behind us with this place. The service was super friendly and attentive, at least. I started off with a pu pu platter, for no other reason than it's been a long time. The experience is just a fun as I remember, and actually all the appetizers on the platter were great, with the exception of the crab rangoons which are the, now typical, all cream cheese and no other flavor variety. Also ordered was a rice plate with more of the same appetizers, pork lo mein, chicken mei fun, and scallion pancakes. The mei fun was the best thing we got all day. It was cooked just right, tasted fine, had a little slip to the noodles without being greasy. The lo mein was too heavy on the propane, so the wok hei was thrown off. The scallion pancakes lacked flavor, e even with the ginger sauce, and the texture was too dense. I've driven past here on trips to Old Sturbridge Village in the past, came here just for the restaurant today, and now will have to resume driving by it in the future.
