I was warmly greeted upon arrival. Since I was dining alone, I sat at the bar. My server was very friendly. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and Taiyaki for dessert. The ramen was great although it would have been nice if a few more pieces of chasu were included and I would have preferred a cut that was fattier and less lean. Lol. Despite this, the soup overall was outstanding. For dessert, I replaced the matcha mochi with vanilla for my taiyaki. The taiyaki and mochi hit the spot and was a great way to end my dinner. I enjoyed my visit and would come again. Next time I would like to try the gyu don.

STAY AWAY. Absolutely horrible service!!!…read more Our server, Nye, was incredibly rude & the whole AYCE experience felt like a complete rip-off. He repeatedly gave our orders to other tables & when we complained and tried to order more food, he told us we COULDN'T order anything else until our missing orders arrived. Except THEY NEVER CAME!!! After waiting 20+ minutes, we complained again and Nye gave us such a rude and condescending tone and response: "We have other customers too ya know." Seriously?! WE'RE CUSTOMERS TOO, ya douche bag. It got so ridiculous that 38 MINUTES into our meal, our table of FOUR had received a grand total of TWO plates of meat - even those were the plates we had to take from the neighboring table because our food kept getting sent elsewhere. And here's the kicker: AYCE is only 90 MINUTES. More than 1/3 of our allotted dining time was basically wasted waiting for food that never came, while our server wouldn't even let us order more. We only FINALLY started receiving our meat after we complained to the Vietnamese manager. He immediately stepped in, got things moving & extended our dining time to make up for the ridiculous delay. Shout out to him!!! But having to escalate to a manager just to receive the food we were PAYING FOR is absurd. And maybe Nye felt like he didn't have to bother because the gratuity was already automatic due to our party size. That would certainly explain the complete lack of effort. When your tip is guaranteed regardless of how badly you treat the table, I guess actually serving your customers becomes optional? STAY AWAY or at the very least, pray you don't get Nye as your server.

I want to start by saying that I've been a regular customer at Urban Hot Pot for the past FOUR…read moreyears. This restaurant has genuinely been one of my favorite places. On bad days, it's been my comfort spot, and on good days, it's one of the first places I think of to celebrate. I've introduced countless friends and family members to this restaurant, and it's become something of a gathering place for us. I've recommended Urban Hot Pot to so many people and have had nothing but positive things to say about it. That's what makes my experience yesterday so incredibly disappointing. My friends and I frequent this restaurant so often that several staff members recognize us. In four years, I have NEVER experienced the kind of treatment I received from one particular employee last night. It was upsetting enough that I'm genuinely reconsidering whether I want to return. Yesterday, I brought a friend here to catch up after not seeing each other for years. We arrived around 9 p.m., knowing the restaurant closed at 11 p.m. Naturally, we spent a lot of time talking, which slowed down our meal. However, we were very much aware of the time and made a conscious effort to finish well before closing. At approximately 10:38 p.m., an employee with dark, shaggy hair approached our table and abruptly slapped our receipt down in front of us. In a rushed, dismissive tone, he said, "Here's your receipt. You can pay up at the front when you're ready." I've been coming here long enough to understand how things work. I'm well aware that once your dining session ends, the staff typically brings your check. That wasn't the issue. It was the manner in which he approached us and the attitude that accompanied it. Shortly afterward, the restaurant's music was turned off, and we noticed several staff members standing around. My friend and I exchanged uncomfortable looks because the atmosphere suddenly felt incredibly unwelcoming, almost as though we were being pressured to leave. Mind you, it was still more than 20 minutes before closing. But what really bothered me happened just THREE MINUTES after he dropped off our receipt. I had literally just put my spoon down after finishing the last sip of my soup when the same employee returned. With an unnecessarily nasty attitude, he asked, "Are you guys still eating?" while gesturing his hands in frustration, as though our presence was some sort of inconvenience. I responded, "I literally just finished my last sip, and we were about to get up to leave, but I'm confused. Don't you close at 11? Why are you rushing us?" In an incredibly rude and dismissive tone, he replied, "Yeah, we do, but if you're done, I'd rather you go pay," while repeatedly gesturing toward the register. Excuse me? We were paying customers who had done nothing wrong, weren't being disruptive, and were already preparing to leave. We weren't refusing to pay, lingering past closing, or giving anyone a difficult time. And to put this into perspective, when we walked out of the restaurant, I checked the time, and it was only 10:44 p.m. We left a full SIXTEEN MINUTES before closing. So what exactly was the rush? There is a HUGE difference between politely communicating that a restaurant is preparing to close and making customers feel like they're being kicked out. I completely understand that restaurant employees have closing responsibilities and want to finish their shifts on time. I've never had an issue respecting that. But if a restaurant advertises an 11 p.m. closing time, customers shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome at 10:40 p.m., especially when they're actively finishing their meal and preparing to leave. What makes this particularly upsetting is that it was so out of character for the Urban Hot Pot I've come to know and love. I've had countless positive interactions with the staff over the years, and this was my first time encountering this particular employee. Unfortunately, his attitude left an incredibly negative impression. What was supposed to be a fun evening catching up with an old friend ended on such an uncomfortable note. Instead of leaving happy, as I have so many times before, I left feeling disrespected and disappointed. This wasn't just some random restaurant I decided to try. This was a place I've supported, celebrated at, recommended, and returned to consistently for FOUR YEARS. I don't expect special treatment because I'm a regular. I expect the same basic courtesy and respect that every paying customer deserves. I sincerely hope management addresses how employees communicate with guests, particularly near closing. A simple, polite reminder would have been more than sufficient. There was no need for the hostility, dismissive tone, or repeated pressure to leave. It's genuinely sad that one employee's behavior could make me question returning to a place that has been such a favorite of mine for so long. But unfortunately, that's exactly how this experience left me feeling.

My family had a great lunch at The Common Kitchen! You can travel the world in one dining hall and…read morethere are plenty of vegan options! I love that this food hall has beer and a large variety of vendors. My husband enjoyed a draft beer while I put orders in at three different businesses. We enjoyed vegan peppered steak, tofu banh mi, and samosas. All the vendors had speedy service and I thought the portions were generous for the price points. The bathrooms at Common Kitchen are definitely kid friendly. I was able to use the changing table in the stall for my toddler without any issues. I also appreciate the cleanliness in the bathrooms at the tables. Many food halls look trashed and this place is well maintained. Overall this business is ideal for my husband and I taking my active toddler out to eat. I liked that she had freedom to move around as needed without being in the way of other customers. And with so many vendors there is a meal to match whatever you are craving. We will definitely be back!

It's compact (read: manageable), casual, and has enough variety that no one has a melt down. Only giving it 3 stars because we didn't try a lot of the places. The layout is cozy and clean. We tried a few spots. The hot dog place was a solid choice--simple, reliable, and exactly what you want when feeding kids who just want food they recognize. The real standout for me was the Haitian pâtés: flaky, flavorful, and worth ordering more than one. I tried the codfish which was way too salty but had a nice kick, and the oxtails. Wish they had the chicken and beef available to try. The only miss for us was the Vietnamese spot, which was a little underwhelming compared to the rest--fine, but the simple things I ordered just didn't land for us. Will definitely try another visit to check out the bar and different vendors who weren't open today. I noticed an Indian food spot and the Trifecta bar that seemed like a chill place to catch up with a friend.

I had originally made the nice lady very nervous with my request and she tried to convince me to try the dish that was advertised with the glass noodles, but i assured her that it would be fine as i normally eat noodles without soup. I ordered the 3 oil noodles with ground pork. It was very tasty. Especially after i added vinegar and the house chili oil. Definitely coming back.

We chose to dine here after seeing the restaurant's outstanding reviews online and on Facebook…read more With four locations in well-known food markets across the United States, we expected a more upscale dining experience. Unfortunately, the reality did not quite match those expectations. The restaurant is located in a somewhat rundown shopping plaza, and the dining area itself felt small and dated. There were boxes of supplies stored in the main dining room, which detracted from the overall atmosphere. The setup felt more like a typical takeout-oriented Chinese restaurant than a destination dining experience. Even the water station, which was self-service from an office-style water dispenser, felt unusual for a restaurant of this reputation. The restaurant is known for its hand-pulled noodles, which was one of the main reasons we visited. However, based on the overall presentation and environment, the experience did not fully convey the level of craftsmanship we had anticipated. As for the food, my husband ordered the chicken with wide noodles. Unfortunately, the dish was extremely oily, making the noodles difficult to pick up with chopsticks. I ordered the Jajang noodles, which were decent but lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Overall, our visit was disappointing given the restaurant's strong reputation and positive reviews. While the food was acceptable, neither the quality nor the atmosphere met our expectations, and we would not choose to return.
