The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was inviting, and the bathrooms were clean. A bonus for me was the mouthwash and toothpicks available in the bathroom--little details like that matter! Overall, it was a great family-friendly experience. And yes, I was the chef that day! ‍ Definitely a fun spot for a group outing!

We got the tomato base and mala medium-spicy base, which aren't even my preferred flavors but they were still so good. Also the dragon-headed hot pot handles are very cute. Meat and veggies were good quality; only didn't see taro on the veggie options, which is a personal fave of mine. Huge thank you to Jerry and Chloe (I'm pretty sure was our waitress's name? Pretty lady with perfect eyebrows + skin!) for taking care of our big group!

The staff were super friendly and the food arrived on time. They were welcoming and I really loved the interior decoration. The reason for a 4 star is that my expectoration for drunken noodles was high, and I feel like I've have better drunken noodles in other places. Asia pot had a unique flavor on their version of drunken noodles, which I was not a big fan of. I guess I'm so used to the standard version or drunken noodles.

There was a wide selection of ingredients to choose from, and you can customize the broth flavor and spice level however you like.

The service was friendly and fast, and there was plenty of seating inside. There isn't a dedicated parking lot, but we found a paid lot just a short walk away, so it wasn't too bad. Overall, it was a fun and tasty experience--I'll definitely come back to try out more ingredient combinations next time!

The service is decent. The first time we visited during the holiday, the waiter we had was great. He was very attentive and helpful with our order. Recently, the second time was okay. They were bit busy, so whenever the servers were placing our plates down it felt like a bit of messy in terms of food placement. It doesn't look presentable. It felt like they just grabbed the food and put them onto the plate and serve dishes to us. But overall, the flavors of the food and broth of the soups we had for our hot pot was delicious. The restaurant is clean and big enough tables for everyone I feel. We will still come back and eat here when we come and visit NC again in the near future.

Restaurant was clean, bustling with good vibes of patrons happily eating Korean food. Our waiter Paul is the best. We ordered and were brought little plates of kimchi, macaroni, etc. These were delicious. We finished them and our meals came out many of them sizzling from the hot pots. I had the spicy squid with noodles. It was the perfect slickness and I got a side of rice which I added to it, as the sauce is great to soak it up. Daughter had tofu bimbibop and she loved every mouthful. As we had told Paul we were celebrating our friends birthday, he brought out a marshmallow cookie with the plate decorated with happy birthday. Allbin all a wonderful meal with top notch service.

Here…read moreare my gripes: The Agwi-jjim was supposed to have sea Squirt and it didn't, also did not come with wasabi. If you don't have the right ingredients then this should not be on the menu. The Banchan was lacking. The Buchimgae was ok, no complains there. The dolsot bibimbap came in a flat stone plate rather than a traditional bowl. The dish requested was suppose to have beef and it had very few beef pieces. To quote the famous Wendy's commercial "Where's the Beef?!" The bossam lettuce wasn't salted enough and seemed like they used sugar and the samjang was also off..I don't know what it was missing. I think they americanized the taste. Traditional Korean food is not overly sweet. The servers did not have knowledge of the dishes. None of the wait staff spoke korean. The bonus was at least they didn't blast k-pop music and didn't serve cheese corn which is not a traditional Korean dish. I also wished they had Japgokbap.

I used to love this restaurant and was a loyal customer for years, which makes this experience…read moreespecially disappointing. I ordered the lo mein, bamboo flounder fish, and a side of fried rice. Unfortunately, the lo mein was extremely greasy, the fried rice was overly salty, and the shrimp was hard, overcooked and not fresh. When I informed the waiter that I would not be eating the lo mein due to its condition, I was told that I would still have to pay for it and that it did not matter whether I liked it or not. He initially refused to remove the dish from my bill. After eventually taking it off, he told me that he never wanted to see my face again as I was leaving. What disappoints me most is that I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant and had been a repeat customer. The decline in food quality combined with the way my concerns were handled has left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

I came right before a show at the Alamo Drafthouse around the corner, which makes it the perfect night out for dinner and show. It looks like a lot of people order takeout here, but they have ample tables and do offer an excellent dine in service. I loved their green beans and eggplant. All their food felt more authentic and homestyle than your typical run of the mill Chinese place. The food had flavor, and it wasn't overly greasy either! I'll definitely come back next time in near north Raleigh.

Our waitress (Nicole) was very overwhelmed and slow. She was nice enough when she came around but the service was not great. Now the food...we had appetizer bacon wrapped scallops they were good. But the dinners were awful. The Key Lime Shrimp and Lobster pasta was inedible; I really should have sent it back. It had no flavor other than bitter lime (and I love lime!) I see after reading reviews I am not the only one to have this complaint, probably should remove it from menu. The blacked ahi tuna had good flavor but was cold as was the quinoa (not sure if it's supposed to be served warm or cold). Our son had a filet which he enjoyed. Our girls got a side of fries and they were $8 which is crazy to me (no cheese, no toppings). Overall was highly disappointed. Was a waste of $150. It's a shame because it's a great location but the service lacked as did the food.

Food: 4 Service: 4…read moreAmbience: 4 Date/Time: 10/22/2026 11:45am Order: Chicken Pad Thai, Pineapple Thai Fried Rice Crowd: no one else in the dining area This was the first time back since close to when they opened many years ago. Back then there wasn't much in this shopping center where it's located but once Trader Joe's opened up, it's survived quite the expansion. The dining area to the left of the entrance has a clean look with warm colored walls and bamboo covered chairs. With that said, if you plan to have a long stay with friends, the bamboo chairs become hard on your bottom and the straight-back chair hard on your back. Service was good with a nice gentleman who looked like he could fit very well in a restaurant like Irregardless. He was pleasant, patient and attentive. The Pad Thai at medium spice was just a little less than expected with a little heat throughout. The taste was good with a little sweetness, thin slices of chicken and noodles that were shorter in length. The Pineapple Thai Fried Rice had less spice at medium spice and was also good. Overall, the experience was good and the price during lunchtime very reasonable about $11 per dish. Would recommend a visit if you're nearby. If you plan to sit awhile, bring a cushion!

Prior to a concert night, we were searching for a dinner option and the group agreed on sushi as an…read moreoption. We came across ShabaShabu on Yelp and decided it was worth the try. Located in a shopping center, it was easy to get to with ample parking. The restaurant was fairly empty so we were seated as soon as we walked in. I was surprised to see such a large and comprehensive menu of both Japanese and Thai options, and honestly it could stand to either be slimmed or organized differently. So many pages of small print text made it hard to narrow down choices, and even some pictures could have helped here. We ended up with a variety of sushi, an appetizer, and a noodle dish. One of the big things here is the BOGO sushi offerings, which is certainly appealing for a value and variety standpoint. We made sure to order enough to maximize the discount, though it's important to remember they apply the discount to the cheapest items. One other weird quirk is they will only honor the BOGO for a single check, so if you're with a group and want to split checks this becomes a problem. Our group chose to have a single check and paid each other directly instead to make sure we got the discount. All of the food was pretty good. The sushi offerings were perfectly decent though nothing remarkable, but the value to quality balance needs to be taken into account. The restaurant itself could use a bit of work, since between hard chairs, lots of black and red paint, and mostly empty seats it didn't feel super inviting. Overall a decent option and I'd consider coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.
