They had everything!
Minia L.

OK, this place is so fun! You get your own hot pot and share a grill in the center of the table so I was dunking beef in broth and grilling at the same time. The conveyor belt is the best part. Noodles, tofu, mushrooms, and clams just float by and you grab whatever you want. All the meats are labeled, which I loved because I knew exactly what I was getting. Great service! Everything we tried tasted fresh. We went with the premium package and that included one abalone per person. Such a bonus! There was a huge selection of food in the refrigerator section, a hot bar, and a suave station where you can mix your own dipping sauce. Can we talk about the giant ocean screen with a jelly fish swimming around? Wow. The ambiance had me feeling like I was eating at the aquarium at night. So much fun. I definitely come back.

First time here. Celebrating my sister-in-law and her son's birthday together. We have been to many Korean, hot pot and barbecue places and we just love exploring and comparing. I love that their prices are reasonable too and same as the ones we've gone to. We went on a Sunday for lunch. AYCE Hot Pot + BBQ Combo: $39.99 per person. Then discounts for seniors is $2 per person. Which is not really bad with all the varieties. You can have appetizers then desserts in the end. I love how spacious the place is and what's attracting is their wall has this different sea creatures like jellyfish and fishes etc. that comes from a digital projector. so cool! Lots of parking spaces and next to a dollar store and Ranch 99 too! Definitely highly recommended. Though the staff were short, they were all very fast and attentive. They are pleasant and nice too!

Legend is at the end of the strip mall complex in Newark, there are some many strip balls and restaurants in the area. My wife and I were in the area and felt hungry enough to eat AYCE hot pot. There were people inside when we were there, we got seated right away. We could get individual pots and choose our soups. You order different meats/proteins which they bring out in a timely manner and the meat and seafood was fresh, which is the main part of hot pot, having fresh ingredients. They have the conveyor belts that circle around different sections of the restaurant where you can grab plates of veggies, dumplings, noodles. It looks fun, and the staff in the back seem to regularity stock the belt and the belt cycles in a few minutes. There's also a sauce bar which has some cooked entries, there's also dessert and fruit. My mom is not a huge fan of hot pot: "why do I go out somewhere and pay to cook my own food?" If you feel that way you might not have a good time, but my wife and I seemed to like it.

We went out for my boyfriend's birthday with his entire family and it was easy to get seating on Sunday night. It started getting more packed around 6:30 ish pm. They have complimentary boba and tea along with fruits but it's in the refrigerator, a lot of people didn't think it was free but it comes with the AYCE. The meat was pretty good, everyone gets one meat order per round. They had a decent amount of toppings and it all came on a conveyer belt.

This has been my go to place for years. Great service. Great value and great quality food. I love they added more selections on buffet tables! Their milk tea & hibiscus tea in the fridge are my fav! Ambience really is a vibe, the projects are cool and love that there's a decent amount of space between each tables + the conveyor belt is stocked pretty quickly !

I came here at 5:30 today and here's my experience: 1. Ambience (3/5): this place was kinda old and little bit dark. The restroom when I arrived was very smelly which was the biggest downside. 2. Service (5/5): very good and effective. There were two staffs who served in the front. My server was a lady who was very friendly, attentive and helped us to grill our meat, while she was serving many tables around. 3. Food (4/5) 1. Broth: We ordered tom yum broth and house special broth, both of them were very delicious. Though the house special one was little bit spicy for my sister. 2. Meat: we paid extra for USDA beef, $5/person. They were fresh and tender. But I don't recommend BBQ menu here, the meat was too salty and they only had few options. 3. Food conveyor belt: we very enjoyed it. They offered a lot of vegetables, seafoods and mushrooms. Overall: I had a great experience here and highly recommend you guys give it a try.

Sauce bar

Came back to try again, the food is not bad. We came on a week day and did the hot pot and bbq. They now have a snack bar with ice cream and drinks that is included with the all you can eat. The meat cuts were good, we mostly ate beef for hot pot but also got some pork for the bbq. You can order with the QR code but they prefer that you order with them. There were only 2 servers, short staffed as there were about 10 tables and they were pretty busy either cleaning the tables or having to take the meat orders. It would be nicer to order on the QR code so you don't have to call them to order meats but everything else in on the conveyor belts.

I visited Legend Hot Pot & Grill in Newark and really enjoyed the experience. One of the best parts about this spot is that you don't have to choose between KBBQ and hot pot, you can have both, which makes it great for groups with different cravings!! I ordered the Tom Yum broth for the hot pot, which is my go-to, and it did not disappoint. It had a nice balance of tangy and savory flavors and paired well with the ingredients. For the BBQ, I noticed that the marinades and flavors were more bold and intense compared to other places I've been to. It's definitely a bit different from the typical KBBQ spots, but in a good way if you're looking to try something new. Overall, I left very full and satisfied. It's a solid option if you're looking for variety and a flavorful dining experience and with great service.

Glad we found a safe/solid hot pot spot in the East Bay, especially for lunch! Pretty unassuming from the outside and frigid on the inside, plenty of seating and multiple revolving belts with veggies, noodles, seafood, etc. We went with the Prime AYCE lunch option for $30/person just to try the different wagyu options. The faves were Australian and then American, but all the meats were fine. Love the extensive sauce bar and the hot food options! People LOVE the chicken wings especially when it's fresh and hot from the fryer. We also love a free soda refill. Service was managed by two staff during the lunch hour so it can be hard to order meats through them when it's busy. We'll definitely be coming back!

I genuinely think this is one of the most underrated all you can eat hot pot and grill spots in the area. I'm surprised it isn't talked about more because I was honestly really impressed during my visit! The biggest standout for me was the barbecue. The meats tasted noticeably different from other AYCE spots I've tried, and I'm almost certain it comes down to the marinade. The flavor was deeper and more balanced, and it didn't have that overly salty or generic taste that some AYCE places can have. Everything felt well seasoned and intentional, and you can really taste the difference. The meats were tender and cooked beautifully on the grill! The hot pot was also enjoyable and added another layer to the meal. We ordered both the tom yum and miso soup bases, which paired well with the ingredients we chose. There was also a good selection of sides and add ons that helped round out the whole experience so it didn't feel repetitive. It's on a conveyor belt too! Another thing I appreciated was the service. The employees were very nice and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had what we needed and clearing plates quickly so the table never felt crowded. Overall this was a really solid experience and definitely a place I would come back to if I'm craving both hot pot and barbecue in one meal.

Side dishes
Bianca P.

Very attentive staff as soon as we walked in and attentive to our orders. Everything was brought out quick and the side dish plates were cleared as soon as a stack formed. I got the Deluxe Marble beef and it was fresh. I always enjoy coming here and will be back.

Does this place open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day?

Yes every day

Are they open Thanksgiving?

Hi yes! We open on Thanksgiving day!

Would this place be able to serve a group of 10 ?the table setup looks like it may not

We have tables for 6 and 8 people. Usually 10 people need 2 tables combined

Looking at the picture of the menu, there is some charge for extra pot. what does the extra pot mean? since this is AYCE, shouldn't the extra broth be included in the price? are we allowed to choose only 1 broth per table?

It is for an additional extra pot. like physically.. an extra one... like for a different broth or something. No, not 1 broth per table.. it is 1 broth per person.

Do they have noodles for the hot pot?

Yes they do... on the conveyor belt

What is on the lunch menu vs dinner?

For prices, lunch is $24.99 and dinner is $32.99

Does the weekday lunch have the same food as dinner?

No. there is more choices in the dinner

Are there vegetarian options?

Legend Hotpot is an AYCE hot pot restaurant. What you cook in your hot pot is what you eat. I don't see they have the price for veggies hot pot. I'm sure you can pick up veggies only without ordering any meats. But I guess you'll have to pay the… 

Is it all you can eat?

Yes

I would recommend to anyone i know Very affordable and low price, the dine in area was spotless and clean, everything was very sanitary. Lastly the service i received from my server Alexis Garcia was BEYOND WONDERFUL. She kept a great conversation going over dinner, and you could tell she enjoyed serving and doing her job. Alexis is truly and asset to this establishment

It's in a small plaza with two other buildings but there is plenty of space for parking. It wasn't too busy there when I went so parking and seating were very easygoing. The staff is extremely friendly and are pretty attentive when it comes to meat refills and checking in. The meat selections are limited to beef, chicken, and lamb. They do offer other meats such as some seafood and meatballs at the toppings bar though. I really liked the ingredient variety, some things I don't think you'd find at most hotpot places. Personally the thick cut potato noodles are a favorite for me!! They also have churned ice cream and refillable pineapple & peach juice. I believe they usually have milk tea as well, but it was Out of Order when I came in. Would love to try it out next time though hopefully! I think there were a few minor fixes for maintenance but overall pretty satisfied from the experience! I would love to revisit again in the future, very budget friendly AYCE hotpot in the bay area. You really can't find weekend lunch prices anywhere these days, most places charge dinner pricing all weekend. The pricing is very generous, the food variety is great, and the staff are all so friendly and inviting. Also LOVE having individual hot pots, makes your hotpot feel more personal and you don't have to worry about sharing :) Great place to come by with loved ones especially if you want to skip the wait most hotpot places come with and have a quick and easy meal.

There…read moreare definitely a myriad more options then what an average hot pot or Shabu place has with lots of interesting meats and sides. However, I am but a simple eater and was not impressed by the number of options. I found that there was a lot of upsell and charging for small amenities that are generally included. The sauce bar, ice cream, and cold items were an extra $3.99 per person and we decided to skip this. In retrospect we regret but the lunch meal was still $100 for two people. We did enjoy the noodle dance, and the quality of noodle was very good. Overall, the meat quality was excellent, but not much more than premium all you can eat spots in Sacramento. Paying for the plates of meats and veggies made it rather difficult to share things between only two people. This is definitely a place you want to come to with a large group and a plan to spend a lot of money. Our service was excellent, and our waiter was incredibly attentive. If anything, this shows their standards are a bit higher. If I were to come back, it would be for a deal or happy hour.

great value hotpot but no frills…read more negatives: you're told to grab your own bowls, you're given a bunch of chopsticks to use for everything,we were seated at a table with a chair missing, and there was a super loud grating sound during our meal. the bar doesn't seem to have much good stuff so we just opted to eat from the flavorful broth. when being refilled for broth the servers don't even pretend to protect you from splashback. it's nothing bad but just not attentive compared to the typical flashy hotpot places. positive: food and price! the chicken cordycep soup was very very good, and the meats were all fresh and really worth it with bogo. the best one was short rib, the wagyu was ok, and the premium beef was very tough. the cuts were big and pretty thick though. beef tripe was a literal MOUNTAIN but didn't taste super clean - good enough especially for the price. in the photo, we already ate half of it. i didn't like the enoki mushroom because it had a little bit of an rice wine alcohol taste (like to preserve probably).

Happy to see a restaurant that allows dogs indoors !! So rare…read more I enjoyed the options at the sauce/snack bar but it's an additional charge . Includes fruit (watermelon & wintermelon), jelly desserts, and snacks like peanuts, seaweed, and pickled veggies. We opted for a half&half hotpot (the spicy butter & mushroom). They had a buy 1 get 1 free option for meat orders which was nice. Meat seemed fine. However all of us (party of 3) ended up with stomach issues and diarrhea after our meal. Not sure if the spice was just too overpowering or if something was off. This is definitely not my first rodeo of having spicy hotpot and I have never gotten diarrhea afterwards so I'm leaning more towards something being off here. I didn't notice anything but my friends both commented on a weird smell or taste with our spicy broth. Probably won't be back unless I have a doggo with me. Love the decor inside, you're transported back in time to imagery from the 80s , Chinese stars and anime.
