Solid place overall!! I'm not a big fan of the clearly AI-generated posters since they're not as visually appealing and give the restaurant a tacky look. The hybrid BBQ and hotpot concept is unique, and I would recommend it to first-time hot pot eaters. However, after eating there for Mother's Day, my family and I unfortunately experienced symptoms of food poisoning. I also thought the broth bowls were pretty small compared to other individual hot pot places I've been to. That said, the service was good, and the bar area was kept clean, the overall layout and interior is nice and well-maintained. Overall, it feels like a decent spot with some strong points, but with all of that considered, I personally wouldn't come back. read more

Sizzle Pot is an absolute flavor fiesta! The dishes are beyond delicious, and the vibe is just chef's kiss. Kevin the server was a total rockstar, making the experience even more fantastic! read more

The food was great! Our server Kevin took great care of us. I would recommend this place to friends and will come back.

We dined here before it changed to Sizzle Pot and we weren't a fan. However, now that it changed, it's improved infinitely. The quality is great and I love how you can get your own food from the bar. You also get your own hot pot to cook your food. I love the selections of broth. Service here is also impeccable. The staff here is so accommodating and friendly. We'll definitely be back. Check them out and do know you don't have to do both the hot pot and Korean bbq option. It can be a little too much in my opinion. We've only done the hot pot option and love it. read more

The quality for both ayce hotpot and bbq was pretty good. I do think there are better quality and more flavorful broths and ingredients at other places but I think it's still good. Javier was also a great server and was very upbeat and accommodating! read more

Me and my boyfriend came here for happy hour hotpot and it was a pretty good deal! Service was amazing, the place was clean. The only downside was that there's only little legroom under the tables. I love the buffet style where you can pick your meats and veggies instead of waiting on a server to deliver them. My main issue was that the meat quality was not superb. In one of my photos you can see the meats is turning grey and so is the lotus root which threw me off because I've never had issues with lotus root. Thankfully our server did not charge us for leftover meat otherwise that would've been absurd! I think I would come here again only during happy hour! read more

Liuyishou can be considered the flagship chain around here. It offers a self-service combo of barbecue and hot pot--you can choose to have hot pot on its own, but you can't have barbecue by itself. Environment: The setting is nice, clean, and tidy, with relatively comfortable seating for everyone. When we arrived, many of the food items hadn't been set out yet. ‍ Service: The staff had a great attitude--they proactively guided us to our seats and explained the hot pot and barbecue combo options. However, it was clear they were understaffed. Taste: It's all you can eat. The meat options for hot pot were mostly frozen--beef, various meatballs, etc. For barbecue, only one seasoned steak was made from fresh meat; the quality of the meat was average. Other items also appeared to have been thawed from frozen. There was a good selection of vegetables, along with some custard buns and fried chicken items. As for the dipping sauces, since there were many choices for the broth base, we tried the spicy beef tallow broth. The flavor wasn't particularly rich, and I believe the other broth bases would likely be similar. If the broth itself isn't outstanding, then more care should be put into the selection of dipping sauces. As a restaurant offering a spicy broth base, I really don't understand why they don't provide minced garlic. A famous Chinese hot pot brand, Donglaishun, used to close for three months during a specific time of year in its early days. Before closing, they would double the saltiness of their dipping sauce to stimulate customers' taste buds, making them crave that flavor. This ensured that when they reopened the following year, many customers would return. This shows just how important the dipping sauce is.Just FYI read more

I saw this place just opened and been wanting to try it every time I went to Ranch 99! We got seated right away, the service was very fast and efficient! We got the AYCE hot pot and BBQ. I forgot to take a picture of the topping bar but they have a decent selection, one thing tho the meat for BBQ might be a bit too fatty! The hotpot topping was on point and the sauce bar was great too! I will come back again for sure! For me, 45$ per person for all the options is a good price! read more

Meats are marginal, flavors are decent Prices are quite high. No kids prices, they just pay full price Newer so it will continue to get some business, but within six months, after people get tired of the high prices and marginal quality it will find the struggle to break even, like most of the places in the Great Wall center read more

AYCE is $45 and the premium menu is $60 per person. So excited to try this place as it's the closest bbq/hot pot duo restaurant. We decided to go big or go home and do the premium menu. Overall experience was underwhelming. The broth we chose were delicious, pork bone with tripe and the spicy broth, super spicy. Not many options for the hot food bar or veggies bar as other ayce restaurants. And the kimchi is very salty, sadly. Sauce bar had many options to choose from. Sadly the ice cream machine broken on a Sunday lunch (right as they open). Interior clean but be careful when walking around as you can bump into the side tables that are on wheels and gets busy so easy to do if not paying attention. Service was good. Kudos to the busboy, he did great constantly clearing everyone's tables. Fountain drink is self pour and given in a plastic to go cup. There was a cracked shell in my oysters for the grill. It was under all the garlic so just be aware. The oysters for hot pot and grill did come frozen. They tasted fresh and went well with the sauce I was able to create with all the options. We tried all the premium meats on the menu and found them delightful. For price, options & overall experience- we would most likely choose elsewhere. Maybe give it another shot and experience their weekday lunch. read more

My husband and I finally decided to try this hot pot spot at the Great Wall in Kent last week. We had been meaning to go for a while, and I'm glad we finally did. First thing I noticed was how many options there were. Seriously a ton. There were so many meats to choose from that honestly I don't think you even need to pay extra for the premium items. Between all the regular meats, veggies, noodles for soup, and other items, there was already a lot to choose from. They also had a lot of hot food options like egg rolls, fried shrimp, and other yummy items you could grab while your hot pot was cooking. On top of that there was even a small dessert area with a soft serve ice cream machine and some toppings, which was right up my alley. Ordering was easy. Once we got started we basically just kept cooking and grabbing what we wanted until we were stuffed! The only thing to be aware of is the parking. Since it's in the Great Wall area with a grocery store, restaurants, and other shops, the parking lot is packed and spaces are tight. It took us a minute to find a spot that didn't make me feel like someone might ding the car. read more

I personally don't really understand why this place have such a high rating. The food quality was not that great and there were not that many options. I had expectations coming from their Bellevue location but was disappointed with it. Additionally, our server didn't tell us what the price was for standard and when the bill came out to 169 for 3 people, I was utterly shocked. While I do know that AYCE places aren't normally amazing, usually you get a bang for your buck but $169 for terrible AYCE was not worth it. Even simple ice cream tasting like water was disgusting. Would not come back at all. read more

Ayce for $45 per person and a 90 limit. My party of 4 waited for almost 40 minutes on a Saturday night for dinner. There was little parking space and spots were a tight fit. Variety was massive! lots of meats, seafood, and veggies to choose from. The sauce bar was great but they had some missing labels so some sauces were a mystery. They also had a bunch of side dishes too! The grill worked a little slow but the hotpot was fast to boil, you can adjust both to your desired heat level read more

Probably too much high expectation for this new store in south of Greater Seattle area, it was good addition to hotpot stores but found it no longer competitive with famous Haidilao brand. Just an under-average level food court, with limited choices of hotpot dishes, vegi and fruits, at a high price. Some sauce was no longer tasted the same nor as authentic as it should be. BIG disappointment. 特别备注：传统的火锅蘸酱之一的麻酱，在此店是混了花生酱、又稀又古怪的一种味道！由此严重怀疑其他菜品的质量，因为店主竟然在最基本的佐料上省那么一点小钱！ read more

Sooo good. Came here on a Monday night and put our names on the waitlist. Waited about 10 or so minutes. It was really busy but we got our meats quickly! They're also very quick to collect empty plates. There were lots of meat options and each of them tasted great! The quality was definitely there. The tom yum broth was also very good. Really enjoyed this place. It's a bit pricey but I'd definitely come back. read more

First time trying here and the concept of hotpot and kbbq is great. The restaurant itself was clean and staff were pretty nice. The reason why I gave it a bit lower rating is because the selection of meat for hotpot was kind of small, the only noodles option they had was ramen. No vermicelli or other type of noodles choice. They did not have shrimp paste like most places and a lot of other items not there. As far as the Kbbq the meat quality was decent. Again not that much option of meat in my opinion. The other complaint I had was between the meat selection and the dessert area, it really smelled like the bathroom. That part was not it for me, I thought it was like a one time smell I encounter but with multiple times walking by the smell was still there. Overall the experience was nice for me and my family but it was a bit overpriced. read more

We've been here a couple times before and decided to bring our friends who never tried this place during their happy hour promotion. When we got there, we were informed that happy hour discounts were not being honored due to the holiday. That's completely understandable, however the issue was that their Instagram post for Memorial Day stated they were open and also listed their usual promotions and discounts in the same post, which reasonably gave the impression that happy hour specials would still be available. Even our server initially seemed confused about the post, and what promotions were or were not being honored, which added to the misunderstanding. We tried to explain that from a customer experience, how misleading the post was, especially when we came in expecting those promotions to be honored. Instead of receiving clarification, the conversation left us even more confused about what promotions were actually being offered and why the post was worded the way it. Overall, the experience felt poorly communicated and unnecessarily frustrating that we ended up leaving. We used to enjoy coming here, but after how this situation was handled, we are probably never coming back or recommending this place to anyone. read more

Sizzle Pot - misleading information - Asian Fusion Near Me - Kent, Washington

Liuyishou is an all you can eat and grill spot that would be a nice place to go with friends. I went her with some family and it has taken over a space in the Great Wall Mall strip complex in Kent. It isn't a huge space so make sure to come earlier for a spot inside. It got really busy after 6pm. I would definitely come back if I was in the mood for a little bit of both world. I like it a little bit better than howpot since I feel like you can actually grill meats. Staff: nice (5/5) Sanitation status: (4/5) Hotpot (5/5) There is so many options for hotpot I loved it. The marinated fish was definitely a favorite in my group. They have a bunch of veggies and mushrooms as well you can add in. The fatty beef was definitely our top choice for hotpot meat. Grill (4/5) The grill meats were all unseasoned and we added a bit of salt and pepper before grilling to enhance the flavor. The pork jowl was definitely good here and our top beef choice was the sliced beef chuck short rib. read more

New hot pot and bbq restaurant in Great Wall Shopping Mall - I believe it's still their soft opening. We came right around dinner time on a Saturday and put ourselves on the waitlist. I suggest getting on the waitlist as early as you plan to. We were 7th on the list and it took a good 40 mins to be called and seated. Interior is very clean and modern, our service Alex? Did a great job explaining everything to us and was very attentive given how busy it was. You basically order your soup and meat on the tablet which will send to the kitchen and they'll have someone bring it out. They also have a sauce bar which takes up a lot of their space and a buffet bar for which you want to add to your hot pot. The veggies were stacked up pretty high. I'm pretty petite and had a hard time reaching over the other buffet items to get to the veggies this could be an issue to someone under 5' - there weren't a ton of different types of veggies just the standards and they were also not labeled... for now? I got the tom yum soup which was pretty good, I also tried the spicy beef oil which was delicious, the meat quality is pretty standard. The bbq meat were not my fave, I could skip that entirely. Overall it was a fun experience trying hot pot and bbq. Maybe different kind of experience for a larger group since there is something for everyone but too much food for just hubby and I read more

Absolutely loved this new All You Can Eat Hot Pot & BBQ at Great Wall. The selection is amazing with plenty of variety, and the cuts of meat are high quality. The sauce selection is incredible as well they had something for every taste. The location is great, and the inside is beautifully designed and spacious, making it a very comfortable dining experience. Our server, Kevin, was super kind and friendly, which made everything even better. Highly recommend loved it! read more

My ideal rating would be 3 stars for the hot pot and 1.5 for everything else. Maybe it's because they're still smoothing out their kinks but our experience was very chaotic and lackluster. Granted we came in new years day, so I expected it to be busy and crazy, and I wasn't trying to be offended by any of that. We were sat at a table that felt VERY crowded, as there are 4 hot pot spots and a middle grill, and the leftover small space was covered with grill tools and plates. There's a wheeled shelf on the side where we guessed you'd either put more things that wouldn't fit on the table or the additional plates with noodles, veggies, etc. Anyway, you order from a tablet, and the prices were quite hefty for what was available to you in the menu vs. out in the open buffet area. We chose the regular pricing, so we ordered a few grilling meats and headed to the buffet area. This area was ravaged and many things were dirty and/or empty. I saw a few workers trying to refill things but for the volume of customers, this was done VERY slowly. Buffet selection was good, loads of veggies, fish and noodles and other items to add to your hot pot. The sauces area was also a wreck, and that particular section did not get replenished during our entire visit. You get 2 hours per table, by the way. Pros: our broths were tasty. You definitely get full on hot pot and related items. It's cute to have soft serve for dessert. Buffet were fresh and tasted good. Cons: we ordered rice bowls. We never got them. In fact, we asked the waitress for them about 5 times, and each time she said there was an issue, or it wasn't ready, or the rice cooker was slow, yet we saw tables who had paid for the more expensive meal with bowls. No other tables had rice, either. By the end of our 2 hours, we never got rice, which sucks, because you pay for that with your meal. The grill and grill meats are LAUGHABLE. Traditional bbq places give you a plate full of meats. This place has some plates that are full, yes, but if you order something like pork belly, you get ONE half slice per table. I know we are in a recession so I guess this restaurant helps you ration?? Also, if you want a soda, they bring you a cup at some point of your visit and it's your job to go refill it. I had to dump my mt. Dew because it was 5% flavor, 95% bubbles. You will have trouble refilling anyway because 9/10 times your path will be blocked by someone picking up plates upon plates from tables. They park their cleaning cart and take up the whole aisle so you're forced to walk around the entire restaurant to access the drinks and buffet area. Inconsequential to some, annoying to others. Lastly, the grill itself was the bane of our existence and why we only ordered a few grilling meats and gave up. They dropped into the grill, creating fires in most tables, got stuck to the metal wiring and made picking them up a huge challenge without breaking them into piece that would then drip or fall through the holes...it was a disaster. My parents really liked the food and concept but still said 2 stars when I asked for their rating, so maybe give them some time to work things out and return. Keep in mind the grill meats issue and maybe order accordingly? read more

Frequent hot pot patron, (but we don't have as many wonderful options as the PNW). I loved this place. The broth was delicious and the vegetable and noodle options were great.

Not much variety, meats took a while to come out. They only allow 5 meat orders every 5 minutes. The service isn't the greatest; seated down and no water until food came out. They forget to fill your pot with more broth when asked. A lot of seating available inside. The 10% student discount only applies to one person per table. read more

Some of the wagyu, the shrimp, and fish were really good. Most things were fresh. However, definitely had cut cost on some of the items from premium menu. Scallops were small and not fresh. Beef tongue was tough. Some of the premium grilled meats were tough. No yellowtail collar anymore, and no more pork jowl read more

Good value for AYCE hot pot and kbbq. Not many places in the area offer high quality meat and experience for this price. Each person gets to pick their own soup base. Soups are decently flavorful, but get a little watered down when you add more broth. You order all of the meats on the iPad and then pick your veggies, seafood, and other items for your hot pot at the bar. They have a good variety of options for everything, except the banchan for the kbbq was lacking. All of the items were fresh. None of the meats were hard to chew. Service was great. The servers were constantly checking in on you and taking any dishes that were done away from the table. read more

Located in the Great Wall Mall, there's an abundance of parking. But with that, expect to park a bit further during busy time. Located near the central entrance, it was packed for a weeknight dinner. They have a check in kiosk for you to put your name on the waiting list. Upon entering, it was very packed and the seating was a bit tight and they had the meat cart placed under the front side of the table closest to the aisle. It's all you can eat and honestly, for the price, you'd think they'd at least include soda but you actually have to pay additional for that even though it's a self serve soda fountain. The meats were honestly nothing special and tasted very bland regardless of making it in the hotpot or grilling it. Their offerings of other dishes were also as equally lackluster. We didn't really get much assistance with our temperature for the grill and had to figure it out for ourselves and also control the vents. Aside from the food, what really brought down the mood was the music choice/playlist. They kept repeating the same songs 5-6 times and I'm not talking about it coming back on later; I mean it would legitimately repeat and repeat and repeat. Probably would not come back again. read more

Take my review with a grain of salt as im not a hot pot connoisseur by any means but I thought this place was just OK. I came w some friends on the first week or two it was open and it was very busy (even on a tuesday). We all opted for the hotpot and KBBQ combo. They have a tablet that you can order off of which was easy enough for me but might be a challenge for less technical people. I thought the hot pot experience was good. They have a vast set of sides, meats, and sauces you can access in the middle of the restaurant. The KBBQ was just meh. I felt like we didn't get the meats fast enough and the grill was very sticky. The service was hit or miss but I'll chalk that up to it being their grand opening, so I'm sure they'll work the kinks out. I'll probably come back in a few months after they've figured out the growing pains. Total was about $55 per person. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekend. Love how convenient the location was next to groceries. The wait was about 10 minutes. The broth was really mediocre and lacked flavor. The choices for veggies and meat were also just okay for the price. They did have tons of variety. I didn't like how they had three tiers for food because it was hard reaching over to the top tier to grab the food without your shirt possibly going into the food on the first tier. The ambiance was nice and quiet the day we went. read more

Amazing staff-Kevin took great care of us. Taught us the ropes and helped us with sauces. 4 of us came and had a great meal. Plenty of options, vegan, seafood allergies-no problem, they will take care of you. We had the mushroom broth, beef/tomato, beef bone and tom yum-all excellent. Highly recommend!! read more

New AYCE hotpot + BBQ in Kent. It's 20 minutes from Sea-Tac Airport, near SR 167 & 180th and located inside the Great Wall Shopping Mall. They have free parking but it's chaotic since they share the lot with 99 Ranch and other small businesses. Get on the tablet wait list as early as possible. People were already queued up before we got there and many more people showed up as we walked out. They did a really nice job with the interior design. Booths can be tight if you're tall though. They played American pop music. I liked the option of both bbq and hot pot. The food was good but the selection at Southcenter YGF is better. The sauce bar takes up a good chunk of space. The buffet doesn't have food labels (yet?) so you have to be familiar with hot pot ingredients. Sorry hot pot beginners, go to YGF in Tukwila if you need a tutorial. This restaurant is currently for the advanced hot pot eaters. I liked having my own individual pot. I was able to customize the soup to my liking. Inspect the buffet dishware before you start piling food onto your plate. I noticed many of the 4 section compartment plates weren't washed properly or not even washed at all. Nothing is more off-putting than touching greasy plates with food residue. I ended up just using the sauce bar bowls because they looked and felt clean. They have in-house restrooms to wash up after handling buffet utensils. They should monitor the cleanliness of the bathroom too at least every hour or more; I will spare you the details. It's really hot in there so wear short sleeves or a tank top. They don't provide aprons so wear dark clothes and don't forget your hair tie or clip if you have long hair. No mouthwash or perfume in the bathrooms so have some in your car or purse. Chris was our server and he was friendly. He reminded me of my younger cousins. Very polite and helpful. I overheard Aunties from another table complimenting him. All staff members were on point and courteous too. I saw robot servers like the ones at Sumo Sushi but they weren't being used yet. It's an internationally known company already established in many countries and their Kent location is currently operating as a soft opening. They really need to monitor things like buffet cleanliness. This should be a management priority and if hygiene is important to them they should expect more customers in the future. read more
