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.

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!

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.

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.

Ask the Community - Legend Hotpot & Grill

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

We super happy that we stopped by here because the food was sooo good. Real authentic Korean food that was approved by my Korean husband. My husband got the seolleongtang and I got the galbitang. Both were soups were full of flavor and we finished every last drop of the soup. The meat in both were so tender and delicious. For those who aren't familar with seolleongtang, its important to add salt to the broth to taste. The staff were friendly and attentive. Restaurant has plenty of tables but it seems like it could get busy based on the paper waitlist sign up sheet I saw in the front. There is a parking lot but I think it would be a lot more packed during busier times. We really enjoyed our food and experience here and would be willing to drive up again from Milpitas. My husband couldn't stop talking about this spot for a few days after we visited.

But what gets me coming back (and I've been coming since opening) is how consistent they are with quality and flavor. I am in no way vegan but my go to order is the Creamy Vegan because the Dashi broth is insanely good. I think about it often and it's worth the try. (I've never had a bad order). You can always add ingredients or take anything out if you don't want it. It's also good to note other items on the menu are very tasty too. I have tried a few of the appetizers & different Ramen, but the creamy vegan is where it's at for me.

Pros: - Wide but straightforward menu - I got the house ramen ($17), and we also go thte umami brussel sprouts ($9) and I got a fuzzy navel drink ($8). - Solid taste and broth - I liked that the house ramen broth was light but flavorful (I did "mild" spicy just for the flavor and it was perfect), the brussel sprouts were a tasty app, and the fuzzy navel drink was actually very tasty! A little treat. I was also tempted to get a dessert but sadly the budget did not allow haha. I didn't regret any of our choices - SUPER fast service. The ramen came out basically like within minutes of us finishing ordering. - I like that they give you a water pitcher for you to use the rest of your meal, so you don't have to keep flagging down the wait staff for water refills. - Cute decor- little lamps on the table. - Was not crowded at all around 11am opening time, and easy parking right outside in the lot. - I saw them accommodate a 6 person party pretty well, but most of the tables are 4-6 people or less. - The wait staff was super efficient and nice. - I like that the ramen comes with a lot of veggies, and although the portions are on the "smaller" side, I don't mind that since I have a tendency to over-eat. Cons: - in the beginning when there weren't many other parties in the restaurant, I felt like me and my friend's voices were super loud and echo-y (given we're both loud yappers lol) so I think it would have been nice if there was some background music playing. But not too big of a deal. - I could see some people feeling like the price doesn't justify the size of the portions of noodles/meat, but I didn't mind.

I…read moretook a look at the menu and seeing the mouth-watering entrees, I couldn't wait to try it out. [[ Some thoughts]] 1.) The food is amazing, flavorful, and the portions were quite large. I think it tends to be on the spicier side so if you aren't a big fan of spicy, you might not enjoy it as much as I did. They do have some entrees that are non-spicy but I still recommend the spicy overall. 2.) I love how free rice is included with your meal. I think it's unlimited? Not sure, but rice is definitely needed when you are ordering their Fish Soups, Broth, or Dry Pots. 3.) Ironically, even though their signature Fish Soups were good, I really enjoyed the Dry Pots the most. They were so delicious, highly flavorful, and full of other items and vegetables that just makes the whole dish shine. Other than that, tons of parking and the restaurant itself is relatively large so lots of places to sit. A new yummy spot I can go-to that is so close!

The set up is very simple and similar to Wei's. Lots of seating available, order online and ayce rice. Since you order online service is limited but the workers are all very nice and ready to help! I got the golden spicy and sour basa fish for one. From a visual you can see it's a big pot but it's actually shallow but there's a lot of broth and pickled veggies inside. Compared to wei's this is a LOT more spicier so if you can't handle spice too well I'd recommend getting something not spicy. I think the fish quality here is better than wei's it's a lot more fresh. Flavor was different but it was still good! I would come back again :)
