Pretty solid experience for small groups. Anything larger than four people is a little hectic. I like coming here because they give you a wide selection of free appetizers and dessert. The selection of non meat is pretty extensive and they also have a lot of seafood which is great if you're a seafood lover. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Legend Hotpot & Grill - $5 off the regular price! - Hot Pot Near Me - Newark, California

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. read more

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! read more

Been wanting to try a new hot pot place with my friend and this place did not disappoint. I love how all the veggies and add ins are easily brought to your table and you don't have to get up. The only time I got up was to get any sauces and any appetizers. After we were seated we didn't realize that you had to scan a QR code to order, so that would have been nice if the hostess would have told us that. I would say that after you order more meet the servers tend to bring it out pretty slow so make sure to wave down a server to ensure that it's being brought out. The place was pretty empty when we arrived and by the time we left it was packed! We spent about 1.5 hours here. The tables and everything was very clean and organized. Overall, the quality of the meat and veggies were very good. We got the classic meats and we both agreed that it was perfect and we didn't need anything special. read more

First time. Lots of parking. My friend used Waze for gps direction and it took her to the ranch 99 side which was at the other side of the plaza from the restaurant. That was abit odd. Came for Friday lunch. We got the Prime menu 29.99. But honestly I think 24.99 classic menu was good enough as the Australian Wagyu cut was abit too thin. The spicy beef also was too thin and small it disintegrated once it hit the pot. I didn't try the bbq but I hope the same cut is not used for bbq. Lots of hot food option. The dessert is even a plus. Other than the thin meat, everything else here was great. Service was pretty fast also. read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon, and the place was almost empty. We ordered the miso and tom yum broths. The miso broth was quite flavorful, almost as if a generous amount of miso paste was used. The tom yum broth was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. The sauce bar was decent, but the fried items next to it looked like they may have been sitting out since the morning. Given the time we visited, we chose to ignore them. When comparing this spot to Seapot, we noticed the ingredient selection was more limited, and the meat portions were noticeably smaller, about half of what we typically get at Seapot. Overall, the restaurant was clean and the service was fine, but for a conveyor-belt hot pot experience, Seapot remains our go-to. read more

I wouldn't recommend doing the KBBQ option -- that was definitely a pass for us. The Hot Pot, on the other hand, was very enjoyable. We both chose the Tom Yum broth, and it was delicious -- flavorful with just the right balance of spice and tang. I really liked the conveyor belt setup with all the fixings, which made it fun and easy to customize the perfect bowl. Unfortunately, the KBBQ didn't meet our expectations. The meats lacked flavor, and many of them tasted very similar. I was also a bit caught off guard when they brought out the tabletop grill, as I wasn't expecting the cooking setup to be quite so hands-on. Overall, I'd return for the Hot Pot, but I'd skip the KBBQ next time. read more

Conveyor belt hot pot. Ok, i see where this is going. Not a bad idea, tasty too. Its pretty much an AYCE hot pot place, with a conveyor belt twist. You start by ordering your individual broth. Then order your first round of meat. You pick out your plates of food off the conveyor belt. There are appetizers and sauce bar near the front. Pretty great concept. They have lots of nice seafood option you typically dont see in other hot pot buffet places, so props to them. The wait staff were super friendly. The decor is cool but just a little over the top with the large aquarium projector. Overall, i recommend it. I dont see AYCE hot pot places sticking around a lot. They seem to have a high turnover rate, so better check this place out why they're still going strong! read more

Honestly for price during happy hour it's pretty worth it. Came during a week day and service was pretty minimal but fast. The hotpot itself was average but for that price it was pretty worth it. There's also a conveyor belt for the sides and they got a sauce bar as well. Place looks like a minimal bbq and hotspot place for real tho. read more

Fast service and very attentive, got our soup and meat in a timely manner. The place was 75-80% full on a Sunday evening around 6. Great selection of items from vegetables to seafoods on the belt.

Legend Hotpot & Grill - Spicy and regular broth. Both excellent - Hot Pot Near Me - Newark, California

Came on a Saturday afternoon around 5pm and were seated right away. Service was on point at first, very attentive then as it got busier we rarely saw our server to order more meats. Servers do come around and help watch your bbq do you don't burn the food. One lady server had a stank attitude when we kept ordering more food, like what do you expect we're at an all you can eat place. Food was alright. I like the concept of the conveyer belt and grabbing what you want at your seat, but there weren't many options. We were sitting in the middle and you could tell each belt had different options and were not consistent. At one time we waiting 15 min for a server to come by and take our order just for them to forget most of it when they dropped off the meats. We opted for the premium meat and all you can eat bbq which was worth it when they actually came around. Meats and soup bases were flavorful. Interior is large with lots of tables and seemed clean. The sauce bar was well stocked and the appetizers and desserts were a nice touch. read more

Honestly, not bad at all if you ignore the vibe. Their dinner food option was great when I went. Lots of variety available from the conveyer belt - not as many leafy greens as I'd hope but the other options were good. I'd skip on upgrading the meat option next time since the only meat I liked was the one included in the base price. The wagyu quality was a bit disappointing. Quality of the conveyor belt ingredients was good though. The ambiance felt a bit run-down. It was giving the vibe of an "old, long running restaurant where the servers don't care about service/how the place look". Some of their stoves were malfunctioning, and the QR codes were already peeling off from the table. The lighting was dark (not in a romantic way). There were some flies near the sauce bar. I smelled smoke occasionally (someone was probably smoking near the restaurant - it tripped me out at first because I thought something was burning). They also didn't let us keep a physical menu, but it's alright since we only had one meat we wanted to reorder for the hotpot. The organization of their appetizers and sides was interesting, but they had oxtail!! The oxtail was surprisingly flavorful. Too bad they never refilled it after it ran out. The desserts were also pretty good even though it might not look appetizing. read more

Came here after seeing social media pictures of this place. I was excited to try a new ayce hotpot place, and this place seemed to rival seapot so I was eager to try. The outside of the restauraunt is... very run down. I think the restauraunt could do better to make the outside look more inviting. The inside is also jot much better, decor is very lacking and looks run down. The conveyor belt setup is nice. Similar to seapot. Lots of options and honestly I was quite surprised. The meat upgrade was honestly not necessary, their base meat is the best. There isn't much service necessary as they only bring meat, but the waiters were fast. Overall worth a stop for sure! Good pricing. read more

This place has solid ayce hot pot and bbq. They have a conveyor belt near the tables with lots of hot pot ingredients that you can grab, such as vegetables, rice cakes, noodles, seafood, and tofu. You can order 4 orders of meat at a time - the meat quality was solid but nothing extraordinary. I think I liked the hot pot bar the most - they had good chicken wings, fried fish, and marinated pork ribs that were really really good. If you need a palate cleanser or dessert, they have mango pudding, watermelon, grapes, sweet soup, and boba jellies in the fridge. You can easily overstuff yourself here. read more

Come with an appetite! I've been here a couple times. So far I've tried the mushroom, original, and spicy bases. Each offer such flavor. All tables have access to a rotating belt of add-ins, from vegetables to seafood, tofu to meats to eggs. Meat choices are plentiful in both their number of options and the amount served. Additionally there are an array of sauce options in a self-serve warming station. There are a few fried appetizer options and desserts. The fried chicken is fire! Try the orange spongy cake! In a fridge there are fruits and other pallet cleaners. They serve teas, Soju, and Coca-Cola products, It can get pretty busy at dinner. I've experienced really poor service (not personable, long wait between orders, hard to flag) and good service (friendly server with a smile, checked in several times). It's typically above average noise. Pay at the counter before leaving. Large shared parking lot. read more

My friend and I visited for the first time, and it was pretty good. I like that the veggies come from a conveyor belt. If you miss what you want, don't worry, it will come back again. The hot pot is really good. I got the Tom Yum, and wow, it was delicious. We also ordered the Wagyu, and wow. However, the Wagyu was perfect for the hotspot, but it seems like the meat came straight from the freezer and wasn't fully thawed, though it's still good. Not in the mood for hotpot? Don't worry, they have a grill so you can BBQ. I love the flavor of the ribs -- perfect seasoning. read more

One of the better hot pot spots in the east bay! They have a DIY sauce bar, an appetizer bar, and a conveyor belt that brings around various side dishes. You can order additional meats by scanning a QR code on your phone, which makes the process super convenient instead of needing to flag down a server. At the start of dinner, many of the sauces were missing, which was a bit disappointing. However, the quality of the meats made up for it. I definitely recommend adding the Wagyu option for +$5--it was well worth it! read more

Such an amazing deal for AYCE hot pot and bbq! Opted for the Wagyu add on which made it worth it, and we only really ordered from this menu the whole time. The American & Australian Wagyu cuts were the best! Really great quality and delicious. We also decided to add on the bbq option, and truthfully it was a little overwhelming with everything going on at the table. Our server was great and even helped us grill some of the meats and made sure we had everything we needed. The grill was super interesting, they put this parchment paper on top of the grill itself which I thought was weird bc the meats couldn't get that sear that I look forward to! Regardless, meats were still good but I don't think I would opt for it next time and focus solely on the hot pot - the true star of the show. I also loved the interior of the restaurant, there was projections all over the walls that felt like a super immersive art experience. The conveyer belt was a super awesome and unique touch. Great dipping sauce options and desserts and fruits too, perfect way to end the meal even though we were stuffed from all the meats. read more

I've been here multiple times for a Friday lunch and it doesn't disappoint. All my coworkers have opted for the AYCE wagyu, and the beef is super tasty. The raw ingredients come from a conveyor belt, and you get what you want when it comes your way. I also liked the sauce bar and the snack bar, wish I had made room for dessert to try out the cake rolls and offerings. Service was attentive but it did take a minute to flag down the waiters but beef came in a timely fashion after we've made our request. Ambiance was very lively and filled with people busy enjoying their hot pots and their gossip. read more

Came here for lunch for hot pot priced at $19.99 AYCE. I ordered the tom yum flavored broth and both angus/marbled beef which I enjoyed. I'm not sure how it is for dinner, but for lunch the conveyor options were pretty standard offering a variety of noodles, veggies, fish balls, etc... They have a clean sauce bar with a variety of options which is a plus. They also provide side dishes in the fridge, a dessert section, and some finger food like fried chicken/fish--all of which I didn't care for. Desserts were pretty dry as well as the fried fish. Nothing really stood out or was special, but if you're looking to try an AYCE hot pot spot that's decently priced, has quick service, and to get your hot pot fix give it a try. read more

My 10 year old has been asking to try hot pot, so we took the family down to Legend Hotpot & Grill for dinner tonight. Service was friendly and helpful, as it was most of our first time trying hot pot and we had questions. They charge a flat fee, "all you can eat," rate. We loved the revolving conveyer belt of veggies and seafood which can be added to your own personal pots of delicious, steaming broth. There are quite a few broth choices. We tried the spicy original, the spicy green peppercorn, and the miso. All were robust and tasty! We also chose several meats, including three different selections of wagyu beef, as well as chicken breast and pork. The wagyu was a $5 per person additional charge, which I felt was worth it for the quality. All meats were well presented, very thinly sliced, and fresh. There was also a self service bar with a wide variety of freshly made sauces, fruits, appetizers and desserts. The desserts, such as sesame balls, could have been more diligently stocked, but there was so much other delicious food, it wasn't that important to us. The restaurant has a clean, modern design and a fun projection design on the walls. There are even a few vending machines of cute little toys in the entryway. Over all, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back! read more

The meat was decent, but the overall service had several issues. Sauces were not refreshed for a long time -- I ended up not even getting the one I was waiting for. The BBQ paper was only replaced about 10 minutes before we finished, which felt too late. Meat orders also took quite a while to arrive. The most unpleasant part was after I paid the bill and chose not to leave a tip. A staff member ran outside after me and asked if I wanted to leave a tip separately or if I forgot. That felt very uncomfortable and inappropriate. Being approached outside and pressured about tipping is not acceptable and left a bad impression. read more

Legend Hotpot & Grill was such a fun experience and perfect for going with friends or family. The vibe is lively, the setup is easy to follow, and everything feels clean and well organized.

If i had a choice i would not even give this place a 1 star let me tell you why, We decided to try this place since its nearby. Since most of was already at the restaurant while waiting for 1 more person we decided to start our order. We all decided to do hot pot and bbq for $5 more. Now this where it all began. 1. We all got our broth but the meat never came til we had to ask one of the server and gave us an attitude. Our grill never came either til i ask again. 2. Our server never came back to check on us if we needed more meat. 3. When our friend finally came in she order a coke and the meat for her hot pot and guess what happen those items never came at all. Finally we decided to pay and this is where it got interesting, Our server's name is Owen since he was also the one to ring us up. So i told him we should not be charge for the bbq since we only got 1 round of meat,then all of sudden the other workers came and started to speak in their language which we found it very rude. Paying the $5 is not a problem if we got a good customer service. He told us we were suppose to ask them if we want more meat this is not my first time eating at ayce place so i know how it is. We told him we were all gonna pay separate he said only two cards or cash but then he was able to do it individual transctions. This is other part when i had to pay for me and my son who is only 8 yrs. old he charge him full adult price of $32.99 he never mention in the beginning i guess this place is not doing good so they charge you what they want to charge when its time to pay the bill. Instead of him resolving the issues his making it more worse and not only that the manager never came out to talk with us. I have more to say but i would rather discuss it with the manager hopefully he/ she will reach out. I would not recommend this place to anybody, i paid $101 just for me and my son. I can even show you the receipt to show how many meats we got. Normally u will see on the receipt how many meats u got. Customer service is bad and rude. read more

Rarely got checked up on but that wasn't the issue. The lack of options at the sauce bar was very minimal and had no safety options for people who are not used to hot pot. I have went to hot pot many times and never went home hungry unlike when I went to this place. The meat portions are thin and poorly sliced to where they all just clump up when you try to grab it. Would not try again, you're better off going to seapot. read more

I had a really good experience at Legend Hot Pot. One thing I really liked is that everyone gets their own individual burner, so you don't have to compromise on soup bases. Everyone can enjoy exactly what they want. It makes dining with friends much more enjoyable. I chose the tom yum soup base, which was my favorite part of the meal. It had a great balance of tangy, savory, and slightly spicy flavors without being overwhelming, and it paired really well with the meats and veggies. Another fun part of the experience is that the vegetables, seafood, and noodles go around on a conveyor belt, so you can grab whatever catches your eye at your own pace. They also offer KBBQ-style grilling, which is a nice bonus if someone in your group prefers grilled meats or wants to mix hot pot with Korean BBQ. read more

Came with a group of 15 people for a birthday dinner. Were seated near each other in 4 tables (2 hot pot and 2 KBBQ). Our server was very friendly and accommodating to our requests, and kept coming around to check on us and clear our tables of the small plates. Food was delicious with the abundance of items to choose from on the conveyor belt, appetizers, and fridge. At this point, I was thinking I would highly recommend this place for hot pot and KBBQ. The next day I started having stomach discomfort. I get a group text the next day and most people confirmed they also experienced stomach issues (I won't go into details). Sadly, 12 out of the 15 people experienced some sort of stomach issues for 2-3 days! I don't think any of us would come back due to this unfortunate situation. Eat at your own risk! Two stars for variety of food, service, and cleanliness. read more

I was recommended to come here for AYCE hotpot & who can resist AYCE hotpot? Overall, I felt that this spot was pretty good. I do like that they offer a wide selection of hotpot broths. I think it's great that you can have both hotpot & grill at the same time. I know certain places have you choose one or the other. Here, the items are on a conveyor belt going around the row allowing you to pick your toppings. It's an interesting touch. I ordered the Tom yum soup and it was sour! I thoroughly enjoyed as it has great flavor. They also have a sauce bar for you to make your own sauce & definitely a plus that someone does clean the area often making it sanitary for other customers. The meat we were on the premium menu auch as lamb, wagyu brisket, deluxe marble beef. They came out really nice & the cuts were pretty big too. Thus establishment uses a QR code to order & the meat would come out fairly quick. They have booths however, I wish it was sturdy or bolted in as the floors were slippery. So if you were not paying attention, the booths would slide. It was a good 8/10 for me. If I were in the area and wanted dinner, I'd come back. read more
