They have one vegetarian broth - we went to another hot pot place before this and were told they would give us hot water for the vegetarian option, so we promptly left there and drove 20 minutes to come here. Loads of options for both hot pot and bbq. Just a $5 upcharge to do bbq as well which is a killer deal. Especially loved the dessert bar and also the Chinese bar too with some yummy premade items and some good banchan too!

I've been on the hunt for a great Asian buffet in Jacksonville, and this was one of the few I…read morehadn't tried since COVID. We visited on a Friday for lunch, and the dining room was about 40% full--comfortable, not crowded, and easy to enjoy. ** Pros ** * Atmosphere: -- The space is surprisingly nice for a buffet. Two walls feature projected moving murals, and another showcases a large mountain scene. It creates a relaxing, modern vibe. * Food Quality: -- Everything we sampled--and we sampled a lot in small portions--was consistently good. -- Temperatures were spot‑on: soups were hot, desserts were properly chilled. -- Flavors were on par with other Asian buffets in Jacksonville, and in some cases better. -- The hibachi station is on the smaller side, offering two meats and a handful of vegetables. It's possible they expand options at dinner. -- Sushi selection was solid, with all the standard rolls you'd expect. -- The pork bun was the best I've had in town. It was light and had a great taste. * Value: At around $14 per person for lunch, we felt the price matched the quality and variety offered. ** Cons ** * Limited Variety: The overall assortment isn't as large as some of the newer buffets that have opened in the past year. Maybe the assortment is a bit larger at dinner or on the weekends. ** Overall ** We felt the visit was worth the drive from the Southside, and we'd happily stop by again when we're in the area.

Stopped by Fushimi and let me tell you... come hungry…read more This spot has a little bit of everything. Fresh sushi, seafood, hot bar favorites and plenty of comfort picks stacked across the buffet. The variety is honestly impressive, so whether you're in the mood for sushi rolls, crispy fried bites or classic buffet plates, you'll find your lane fast. Service was attentive and quick to clear plates, which is key when you're making multiple rounds (and yes... you will). It's also a great family option. Tons of choices for kids and picky eaters, so everyone leaves happy. Solid buffet experience with something for every appetite.

I've been to Lanjie several times and each time it hits the spot. We went when it first opened so…read moreall the stations were fully stocked and ready. I usually stick to only hot pot because grilling and hot pot at the same time is too much for me. My go-to broths are herbal or pork bone. The broth is always flavorful and tasty and comforting. With the sauce station, I can customize my dipping sauce as well as adding it to the soup to bring it to the spice level I like. My friend got spicy sichuan, which she can handle the spicy. It is also good but I would go with Korean seafood if I wanted medium spicy. I like the many food options they offer which even includes shrimp with or without the head and snow crab legs. The revolving veggies and noodles are so convenient and fun. I like to get in my leafy greens - they have bok choy, lettuce, napa cabbage, snow pea tips, and water cress (when they have it). It is also nice that they offer different flavors of ice cream in a cup or waffle cone for dessert. Perfect ending to a meal. The service was good and they recently upgraded to electric payment at the table which makes it even more efficient when you're ready to go. Until next time!

Good signage amd friendly staff, greeted happily and Nulauh - waitress explained and answered questions. We had party of five in early on a Sat.

The conveyor belt of veggies and noodles to choose from was great, like that they are portioned out already. Will definitely be back.

I visited this restaurant today located at 5161 Beach Blvd Unit 5B, Jacksonville, FL 32207, and…read moreordered the beef tripe soup. The side dishes were very flavorful, and I also purchased two drinks that were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided good customer service throughout my visit. The only thing is that they told me that they do not clean tripe in Korea which was hard to believe. I do want to share a concern regarding the preparation of the tripe soup. After beginning the meal, I noticed that the tripe did not appear to have been cleaned. At first, I wondered if this was simply the restaurant's style of preparation, but after researching further, I learned that improperly cleaned tripe can be both unpleasant and potentially unsafe to consume because tripe comes from the stomach lining of the animal. Uncleaned tripe may still contain food residue, digestive material, parasites, worms, bacteria, and strong bile or waste odors. This can potentially lead to issues such as foul smell, unpleasant taste, food poisoning, bacterial contamination including E. coli or Salmonella, and symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting, or diarrhea. Proper cleaning is generally considered an essential part of preparing tripe, especially in professional restaurants where customers would quickly notice if the cleaning process was incomplete. Overall, I appreciated the kindness of the staff, the quality of the drinks, and the excellent side dishes. I am only sharing my personal experience and concern specifically regarding the preparation of the tripe soup.

I love all the meat choices and they all tasted delicious. My favorite is of course the beef brisket and the Hawaiian steak and the galbi. The corn cheese is my fave side. My husband loved the tofu stew. The price is about $35 per person for dinner. And i believe $16.99 for kids. It is an average price and worth it. And a plus is being able to enjoy all the kpop music videos they play on the screens hehe.

Unbeatable price wise! Seasoning- the butter pork was way too salty and hard to eat because of how dry it become after cooked Spicy bulgogi, steak, shrimp, octopus are what I recommended - well seasoned, pair well with kimchi and white rice but don't over do with the rice because it fills you up quickly! My favorite side dishes are the soft tofu, fish katsu & cheese corn! Xtra cheesy and delicious If you're craving Korean food and want to try different types with unlimited kimchi side dishes then this is the place to go!

This was 2nd visit and it was delicious…read more First visit I got the Raymun but asked for beef instead of seafood and they accommodated. It was fantastic. My friend got the LA galbi short ribs combo and absolutely craved it since then. We did have the seafood pancake. I wasn't a fan. I felt it lacked that seafood taste and I didn't care for the jalapeño that was substituted for the Korean chili's. My friend really enjoyed it. I prefer Kimchi Koreans seafood pancake out of all the versions I've tried. 2nd visit - I got the LA galbi short rib combo which comes with rice, soup (soft tofu beef was devine) and the side dishes - which are also excellent! It's $24 for the combo and you will NOT leave hungry! My friend got the spicy pork bulgogi combo. Loved it all. It is simply one of the best Korean food we've had. Decor is extremely nice. This is a hidden gem. Local Korean families are eating here. Service is quick and attentive. There's bbq service with all you can eat also available. Chalk boards to draw on and have fun, perfect for family's. This would make a great date destination or just any occasion is fine as you can enjoy your meal with the comfort foods from Korea. Highly recommend trying this place out!

I've come here now a couple of times with the fam and it's a cool spot!…read more If you like hot pot & BBQ then you'll like this place! They have many options to choose from in terms of different meats, greens, sushi, desserts, noodles, and more. How it works is you choose the soup of choice to cook the things on and then you go up and fill your place with what you want to cook. You can add things to the soup or on the hot pot to cook. They also have sushi and dumplings already made to eat. I've tried the traditional soup and the tom yum I believe it's called. I like the tom yum better because it has more flavor. You are cooking your own stuff so make sure it's done lol! Both servers both times were nice and attentive in changing out the stove you cook on and taking your dirty plates. Cool experience for sure!

my wife and I had our grandkids for a few days and live out of town, but they live nearby, so once…read morewe dropped them off, we were exhausted and were looking for somewhere nice/buffet style to eat. We decided upon this place based on reviews, including from all our oldest grandchild, who said that he had been taken here and everyone enjoyed it. we knew it had previously been a Japanese/Asian grill for many years, but now it is a Korean style barbecue and hot pot.m, so we stopped in. first be aware that this is not a cheap meal, it was $37 per adult. that said, you get access to a variety of proteins and options. I will also say that my experience was quite a bit different than that of my wife. to start, you get one type of flavored broth for your hot pot in which to cook proteins or vegetables. The table also comes with a built-in grill if you choose to Cook that way. My wife selected the mushroom broth base and I chose the pork broth base. I must say, my wife added her own spices/sauces and enjoyed her broth so much that she shared with me and it greatly enhanced my experience. We enjoyed it so much so that we took the remainder home - there was a by weight up charge for taking this or anything else home. initially I felt that was a little expensive ($5) for taking home What amounted to 2 cups of broth, but we made Ramen out of the next day and it was the best Ramen I've had in a long time, so kudos to my wife for having seasoned it so well. my pork broth was not very flavorful, but I was being lazy and did not add any sauces to it, so I was disappointed, but frankly that is probably on me. In the middle of the restaurant is a very clean and well stocked protein buffet that has all types of seafood, pork, chicken, and beef offerings. I selected many of these, and went directly to the grill instead of cooking some of them in the hot pot. i ended up over cooking several of them before adding them into my hot pot, and they weren't good, but once again my disappointment is in part due to my impatience or inattentiveness. my wife enjoyed her selections very much because she didn't overcook her proteins. my favorite thing was the beef Bulgogi and Korean short ribs, which I grilled (or my wife did) and these were delicious, marinated in an excellent sauce and I frankly could've and should've probably just eaten several plates of this. they had a sushi/dessert bar with typical fare; my wife did not partake in any of this. I tried several of the sushi rolls and they were OK -- frankly this is probably not what you would gravitate to if you're going to a hot pot/Korean barbecue restaurant. their desert offerings were fine: I enjoyed the tiramisu and the Asian style donuts, which were very doughy, but I love them. My wife thought they were just meh. they were alcoholic options, but we were already going to be at $90 with tip and take home broth so we just had waters. I apologize for forgetting the servers name, but his service was excellent, due to attentiveness, explanation of the options, and making sure our drinks were consistently refilled. The ambience was nice, modern, clean. so my take away is that this would be closer to a 3.5 star review versus a four, as this was expensive and everything that I tried other than the grilled Bulgogi and what my wife shared that she had added to her broth) was just OK. However, my wife enjoyed the meal so much, that alone is worth it. Also, I should attribute some of the "disappointment" to my own laziness or overcooking of the proteins on the grill. I would go back for another special occasion, but at the price point, it would not be a weekly choice.
