    Having a Ombu Hot Pot near me is so fun! What people need to realize before dining at any hot pot restaurant is that it is essentially an elevated buffet. You order your broth but everything else is in a cold buffet lineup. You can order appetizers and meat to the table but everything else is in the "salad bar" style lineup. This location was great. We were seated quickly, the food came out fast, and the tables and buffet area were clean. (I personally like the ghosts-of-Wallaby's-past around the restaurant.)

    This is a great place for a date night. Or a lunch date. All you can eat definitely fills you up! I got the mushroom broth which was filled with a ton of wild stringy mushrooms. That was a little bit too earthy for me. I think next time I will just do the vegetable broth. But most everything else we had was really good. It was a little bit pricey at least for lunch. But it's not bad every once in a while. I definitely will be coming back and try some different things.

    Came here on a Monday night around 6pm and it wasn't very packed (which is a good thing.) we walked in, the hostess/waitress checked the kids heights and then brought us to our seats. She explained how everything worked and how to use the iPad to order. You could pick either a community pot or individual. We didn't think much about it so we said community. The selection of broth was decent. There were about 8 broth options. We ended up picking the most popular ones, the spicy and miso. The pot/broths were brought out within 5 minutes and got to boiling. While we waited, she told us we can go grab whatever goodies we wanted to put in our soup. It was kind of like a buffet bar. It was a smaller selection compared to other hot pot places, but it had most of your basics. The seafood was frozen which I did appreciate. I rather have frozen items instead of warm. The noodle choices were surprising! I liked that they had at least 1 of every kind of noodles. Veggie options were on the smaller side, but I'm glad they had crown daisy. They taste so good in the broth. In the middle, they had a sauce bar and it had about 6 different options. Once we sat down, our meats we ordered were already out. I will say, the chicken wings and sesame balls off the appetizer menu were actually really good, and hot! We got at least 3 rounds of chicken wings. Towards the middle, I decided I wanted my own pot of broth because the other people in my party were adding lots of stuff I didn't particularly eat so I was able to order that on the iPad. They came over and verify that we did want a separate pot and that it would be .50 more. I honestly wish I did this from the beginning instead but that's ok! They also had a small selection of dessert. I opted not to get anything since I was too full. Just a warning since we didn't see a sign anywhere, if you do have 6 or more in your party, gratuity will be added. We had 9 in our group and it was about 18% per check. They give you a piece of candy and for the kids, they got these cute sunflower balloons. Overall, our experience wasn't bad at all. I would go back. I believe it was $26.99 per person (adults) and $13.99 for kids under I believe 42 inches?

    Oh, how I love a good hot pot place...and one that's so close to home is even better! I've been watching as this building has transformed from the former restaurant to the current Ombu and I had the opportunity to visit with a friend last night. Since I've done hot pot before, I had an idea of how it works. But if it's your first time, you might be a little confused. There are no instructions and the menu is on an iPad that a staff member hands you. Don't get me wrong, the staff is friendly and excited to serve, but there was a slight communication barrier that made the ordering process a little tricky. We figured it out, eventually. Basically, it's all you can eat, and you select from multiple appetizers, broth styles and meats on the iPad-adding them to your "cart." When you're done, you checkout and submit the order, which sends a notification the the kitchen. While you wait for those items, you can visit the buffet to get noodles, fish, veggies and a few dessert options. We had more than enough food-and everything was delicious. We had both the beef and the miso broths in a dish that separated the two flavors. Pro tip-use the ladle to serve some up in your individual bowl. They come around and refill the broth frequently, so you're not going to run out. I'd recommend that you only order a few things to start-you can always add more as you go. But wasting food isn't cool, so don't go hog wild. We witnessed another diner celebrating a birthday with a big group. All the staff circled the table, played the "Happy Birthday" song over the loudspeakers and had large lite brite signs in celebration. It was fun!

    Having Ombu hot pot near us has been a dream come true! This location is All you can eat hot pot with a wide variety of high-quality meats, vegetables, appetizers, and desserts. It is very clean and spacious and the service is top-notch. We came here for Mother's Day and the owner gave us cute little hair barrettes after we Had our Mother's Day feast they are always so kind and patient with the kids in our group and somehow our kids always leave with some fun little balloons. Food : order the broth and protein from the iPad and then go to the all you can eat area for seafood, vegetables, and appetizers. we enjoy the fatty cattle,pork belly,& mushroom broth. Service : This place has created so many fun family memories for us already because of how kind, fun and attentive they are to our group every time. Ambience : clean, spacious and cute decor that the kids love

    Hot pot with Tom Yum and miso broths.

    Refreshingly delicious. Good service, and then tablets for ordering help a good deal with accuracy and timing. We tried this and came back 2 days later for round two. Excellent food. My only advice is to keep the tablet screens cleaner.

    I've been coming to K-Pot in Taylorsville since 2023, and I'll start by saying the food itself is…read moregenuinely great. It's easily one of the better hot pot and Korean BBQ spots in Utah. The quality, variety, and overall experience of the food is what keeps me coming back. That said, the service has consistently been hit or miss and unfortunately, this most recent visit really highlighted the "miss" side. We came in as a group of 6 (originally 10, but some couldn't make it) and paid for the hot pot and BBQ dinner, which is about $37 per person. At the beginning, everything was solid. Our server, Jose Rafael R, explained the process, helped with the soup base, and got us set up on the tablet for ordering. No complaints there. But after that, it felt like we were completely forgotten. We had to repeatedly try to flag down not just our server, but other staff as well, and most of the time we were ignored. Getting something as simple as a drink refill turned into a whole mission. I ordered a brisk raspberry tea and didn't get a single refill the entire night not because I didn't want one, but because it was nearly impossible to get our server's attention. I understand restaurants get busy, and I try to be patient and empathetic, especially knowing servers have multiple tables. But the issue wasn't just that he was busy it was the lack of basic check-ins. When we finally were able to get him, he seemed rushed and hard to keep around long enough to communicate everything we needed. We had to ask for the grill to be changed, and even that took effort. Toward the end of the meal, it just felt frustrating instead of enjoyable. What really stood out was how the check was handled. He didn't ask if we were splitting the bill (which we were planning to do), and before we even had a chance to say anything, he dropped the receipt and said something along the lines of "here you go, you can pay when you're ready," and walked away immediately. That was pretty much the tone of every interaction quick, dismissive, and gone. Again, the food is great, and that's the only reason I'd consider coming back. But for the price you're paying, the level of service just doesn't match. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect some level of attentiveness, especially when it comes to things like refills, check-ins, and basic communication. Overall: amazing food, but the service really needs improvement. Follow-up to owner response: I appreciate the response and the acknowledgment. I want to emphasize that this wasn't just a one-time issue the service has been inconsistent across multiple visits, which is why I felt the need to mention it. I completely understand busy shifts, but basic check-ins and communication make a big difference, especially at this price point. I do enjoy the food and would like to continue coming back, so I'm hoping to see some improvement in overall attentiveness next time.

    Was traveling in Utah last week and took my colleagues this AYCE hotpot spot. Overall, I was…read moreimpressed with this spot with all the different meat options. Their self serve bar also came with lots of veggies, noodles, seafood and an entire sauce bar! We went for over 2 rounds of protein, I loved the short ribs. And when they say unlimited they really meant it. It was a very good price for hotpot and bbq combo. There were also desserts but I didn't get to it. Bookmarking this spot and I'm definitely coming back. The staff was friendly and came back to check on us for additional rounds of food. The interior was also nice with booths and space. Lots of parking in the plaza as well.

    I have tried pretty much all of the combo hotpot and bbq around me. This one popped up in my radar…read more 20 min drive is not so bad. They opened at 11 and I got there around 10 min after opening. The person at the front desk/server couldn't speak English very well but we made ourselves understand one another. Nothing was ready for service. I think that's my biggest complaint. All of the buffer counters were empty. He said around 10 min. No problem. I have my phone for entertainment. Around 15 min later, some items were finally laid out and I got my tomato hot pot going. The buffet has lots of variety from vegetables to seafood when it was finally filled. I also had the bbq - bulgolgi chicken and beef. Both were sliced on the thicker side. Both tasted really good. Again, took forever to get that going. Even when I left at 12:40pm, there were only two items in the ready made food section and the rest of the trays were empty. Come here around 1PM for lunch. Hopefully dinner would not be a problem.

Even when…read moreit's really busy, a group of 4 can be seated within 20 min and there's Hall Pass or The Bruce around to walk to if you wanna wander. The appetizers come with the hot pot and there are plenty of options to munch on while your ingredients heat up. Korean fried chicken, edamame, and gyoza are my favorites. After ordering your drinks, soup base, and meats (vegetarians get a cheaper option), you can get right to the veg/seafood buffet. They have a great sauce station and a big wall of different kinds of popular ramen packs to use if desired. Once you get settled, you can keep ordering the meats you like until you get full. I like to keep a little note of what I think of each one so I remember for next time. These are my personal opinions: 1 Mr Shabu ribeye - tender lean, best 2 oyster blade muscle - meatier but only ok 3 Mr. Shabu beef kurubi eye - chewy, wavy, not good 4 Mr. Shabu pork single rib belly - fatty, bad 5 US wagyu beef round eye - tender lean, good 6 US wagyu beef clod eye - jerky striated texture, bleh 7 Mr. Shabu beef boneless short rib - oily but in a good way, little chewy, great flavor 8 Mr. Shabu pork collar butt - fatty but comes apart easy, ok 9 Mr. Shabu lamb shoulder - no Usually if I'm playing it real safe with just two, I pick 1 and 7 :) I hope you come to try all the different flavors for yourself!
