We decided to try The Moon since we liked POC and frequent hot pot/korean BBQ. The staff were very nice and sat us right away. For an all you can eat, it's a little lackluster with just basic options. For the meats, there's only a couple of options and any seafood options are at the buffet. I think for the price point you're better off driving a little further to go somewhere with a larger variety of choices. read more

Pretty decent date spot! Anna was very helpful and made the kimchi herself. She explained everything, checked in on us numerous times, and was very sweet. There's a lot more options for hotpot than KBBQ so it's a better date spot for hotpot than kbbq. The meat choices were limited for kbbq. read more

I thought this would be interesting. I once had Korean short ribs so I thought great. The menu was confusing, choosing between whether you wanted bbq or hot pot, or both. We got the bbq because Both was too expensive. Soft drinks are by the bottle, so no free refills, and they didn't bring a glass with ice. The meats were good but we were basically our own chefs. We go to restaurants because of the way the food is seasoned and prepared. Maybe others appreciate this experience but it was not for us. And the soft ice cream machine is only vanilla. read more

This place used to be a sushi buffet and they changed the owner. Now, it's a hotpot and Korean BBQ buffet. The food overall was pretty fresh. I do wish there were more spicy sauce options. BBQ tasted better than the hotpot. The service was good. I asked for water but the waiter brought a bottle water. I was hoping for tap water since I don't really drink beverages when I eat buffet. He said there's only bottled water then I saw tap water in the fridge which I thought it was not honest. The place is very pricy. I paid for over $100 for hotpot and bbq with 2 soft drinks and a bottle of water. read more

The Moon - Hot Pot Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Night before Christmas Eve we were hungry and tryin to decide where to have dinner when we stumbled upon The Moon. Having only once before tried KBBQ we decided to give it a shot after looking at reviews, and I'm so glad we did. This place is spacious -perfect to come with a crowd small or big. It's clean throughout and the service is very friendly and attentive. We chose the BBQ option alone but what's great is all their options come with access to the buffet which has cold/hot/raw/prepared items. As for the BBQ itself-it was unlimited meat and the meat was quite delicious. Overall, I felt this was a great pick and will definitely be returning and recommending. read more

Have been waiting for this place to open up and went for lunch in the middle of the week to check it out. My group went with all KBBQ so I can't speak for the taste/quality of the hot pot. The entire front-end has been redone and I can barely recognize the place from PoC. They've repurposed the buffet stations for the hotpot ingredients, various sauces and mix ins, and the banchan buffet. The interior looks fantastic and very modern. The location has plenty of tables that support both hot pot and KBBQ, though I did not see any tables that had more than a single grill per table. As far as price goes, it's on-par with similar KBBQ/hot pot places in the area but I don't feel the value is quite there. The variety of meats available isn't quite as much as other established restaurants and is pretty much just the essentials: beef belly, pork belly, beef brisket, top blade, beef bulgogi, etc. Galbi was limited to the dinner/weekend menu and there were only two spicy/marinated options. The quality of meats was average for an all you can eat place. Banchan at lunch was also just the essentials: fried and white rices, pickled radishes, japchae, and gyoza. Our server Joe was excellent, I was concerned coming in and not seeing a call button but he was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. He also made good recommendations on what to get and sauces to use with our food. He took this visit from average to four-star. Overall, I'm hoping this place finds their groove and is able to add more variety to their menu/buffet to compete with other places in the same price point, but was happy with the service and food we got. read more

Ana was our server and she was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive and friendly. Food was incredible.

Restaurant decor interesting. Clean and spacious. Good food; fresh and tasty selections. Attentive wait staff and reasonably prices.

The service was excellent and we were seated in five minutes. We ordered the hot pot and grilled meat that you cook on the grill yourself. It was way too much food for us. We each ordered one meat to share and we got up and picked the ingredients for the hot pot. There's clams, shrimp, octopus, calamari, noodles, and various greens. It was beyond too much. We should have skipped the hotpot and instead of one meat each for grilling. We should have ordered one meat for couple. We didn't touch the fried rice, it just didn't fit. The food was very good but you can't take home any uncooked meat that you already paid for. So it's best not to order what you can't eat. Sorry I have no pictures but my phone went dead. That's why I'm posting my review today. read more

Amazing food with fresh ingredients! Hot pot was a new and exciting experience after we got the hang of it. I highly recommend the spicy pork! Our server Joe was also a great highlight of the meal helping us with recommendations and ensuring we had a great time read more

Overall OK. Waitress Ana was terrific and really helpful but the food was another story. I saw the reviews and thought this has to be amazing. The fish was not good. Do not get it. It's so rubbery and chewy. The meats overall were good but again quality varied. The best thing there was the vegetables. Mushrooms were great and the corn was delicious. I think a lot of people who come here don't realize what great Korean bbq is because this ain't it. Again, there are some positives but for 2 people for 100 dollars all you can eat you can do a lot better somewhere else. read more

Ms. Anna is the very best! Made our dinner experience wonderful. Great selection of food, throw back tunes and PLENTY to fill up with. Ambiance is relaxing. Keep up the great work! Thank you again Ms. Anna!' read more

If it's time to celebrate, its time to go to The Moon Hot Pot in Hackensack.... An abundance of great food.... impeccable service..... friendly atmosphere.... and a staff that makes you feel so special. Whether you want hot pot, Korean BBQ, or both...this is the place to go. We came with a party of 12 and there was no rush.... only great food and cheer. A robot comes around with protein for your indulgence. Time to celebrate... GO TO THE MOON read more

Enjoyed it!! Food was good. Server was friendly place was clean. Will definitely go again

I think the other low star reviews are being a little unfair. I went with my family and I thought the food and service were great. Both the hot pot and kbbq were delicious. I especially loved the desert bar that had its own Korean snow ice machine. You can tell they out A LOT of thought and care into this place. My only gripe (that I think is unfair to take a star away for) is that the experience is a bit overwhelming. Trying to manage BOTH hot pot and kbbq was a lot for me personally. I usually like one or the other. But for the person looking for both, this place is great! read more

I didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did. I was a little confused at first but everything was tasty! Service was great! Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Ambiance was typical "buffet" restaurant style. Parking lot is a little crazy but you'll get a spot. read more

The food choices are less than other places comparing with price. Not fresh! The grill is horrible, not heat enough for bbq place read more

Food was not bad for the price. Selection is on the skinny side for Korean but acceptable if you do not have a diverse desire for selections like intestines which, I wish they had. This is for BBQ but for hot pot their selection is huge from meats to seafood. So it makes up for it. Service was slow but they were slammed. The owner should know better next time. You should be served but not fawned on but you should also not be kept wondering why there is only one server for such a busy section. No stars off but next time I won't be so forgiving. Ambiance is typical AYCE. This used to be POC so I am aware of the lay out. It could be more spruced up but this is not the place for that. Overall it was clean and welcoming but it was too cookie cutter. Good food, acceptable server and good price makes this a recommendation. Head to head against a Leblon Steakhouse and this place would not compete but that is more upscale...This place hits the mark for the niche it is making itself. Bottom line, my dad and brother liked it and that means The Moon did the job it was supposed to. read more

The only reason why I'm giving this place a two is because the waiter was really nice. Other than that, my biggest complaint is that the grill is not hot at all for kbbq. My friend group of 5 ordered 3 rounds of meat because that's how quickly the meat would cook. The portion sizes are about how if you connected your middle finger and thumb to make a circle with both hands. Also, initially the robot bringing our food, brought it to a different table so we weren't sure if we should take it or not. Also for the same prices you can get premium cuts of meat somewhere else. All in all, for the price... No. Drive 10 minutes more to ktown or shabu garden read more

Good food, decent pricing Fantastic service from Anna, our waitress. A+++ will be back. read more

아나는 훌륭해 그녀는 한국 바베큐의 엄마야 thank you so much Ana you made us feel welcome We will come visit again soon read more

The food was delicious and Ana especially was a delight and so helpful with helping us to order our food according to our likes ! Will definitely be visiting again. 10/10 read more

Food and service was really great. Amanda was our server and she was very attentive! The meat quality was very good, the beef belly and short rib are a must try. Mala pork isn't too spicy. read more

The place itself its beautiful, and server was great. However, didn't love the broth at all! I likely won't be back since it's a bit of a drive, but good if you're in Bergen county and don't want to drive to englewood or fort Lee read more

Went here for the first time for my mom's birthday. I didn't have high expectations for a place that sells both AYCE krn bbq and shabu shabu (hotpot) because I just can't see myself doing both at the same time. So I got the all you can eat hotpot and I was very impressed. Exceeded my expectations! I got the dashi broth for the soup base and I really liked it; it wasn't salty and it was flavorful. Also the taste of the dashi broth will thicken and burst with flavors once you add all your toppings. I usually like the spicy broth but the waitress recommended dashi which I'm thankful for! Also they have large variety of options- vegetables, tofu, noodles, fish cakes, japchae, dukbokki, shaved ice, fruits and much more. Udon goes perfectly with hotpot, make sure you get some! The meat was fresh!! I wonder if it's prime meat because it tasted like it. Shabu house was my go to but I will start going here more often because it's closer to my house. Only con is that I did not like their house sauce, it was way too salty. I just ate mine without sauce and still was yummy. Service- 4/5 the ahjimmas were so sweet and attentive however this place is HUGE. Only one waitress was allowed to serve us it seems like because when we needed something and tried to ask a diff server, we got ignored. I suggest that since this restaurant is big, it should be okay for multiple waiters to help out tables, especially big parties like ours. Overall I will be coming back! read more

Ana and her dipping sauce!! She was great,and helped us out when needed. Fresh meat and veggies!! Thank you!! Great experience.

My wife and I came here to try a new spot. We only had the k bbq but we're incredibly disappointed in the quality and quantity. From a price point this was not worth it for an all you can eat with limited meat selections. When you went to the area to grab other items for your plate you were limited again to a minimal amount of choices. We were not impressed and the food quality was nothing to rave about. Lastly the k bbq grill plate we had initially was dirty. Upon grilling, black burnt areas were coming off the grill. This should not have been the case if the grill was cleaned thoroughly. read more

Anna is the best! Super friendly! And this place is clean and big. So much food and the selection is big

Pretty good experience! Staff were super nice and the owner was there monitoring the staff I suppose. The food was good, nothing that really stood out but what can you really expect from an AYCE? It's one of the good ones. Been here at least 7 times and every time it has gotten better! Saturday nights are super hectic (at least the time that I went) but service was still good. Midday there is not much action in the back (I'm assuming because there's no people) but nighttime's have a great atmosphere. read more

For reference I don't go to a lot of hot pot places. Garden Shabu in Little Ferry has been my go to and I like that place so I'm comparing it to there. The customer service is eh. The quality of meat was eh. The variety of food to choose from for the okay. My father in law enjoys soju with his hot pot but this kbbq place doesn't serve alcohol. The place was relatively empty and it just overall wasn't that great. I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

Great first experience with Hot Pot and BBQ. Must have Ana's sauce - best thing we had :)

One of the cleaner k bbq spots I've been to! They have a large selection of items for both kpot and kbbq in their buffet. They also have a section of cooked foods such as sushi, rice, and other fried appetizer items. They also have fruits, ice cream, and cookies for dessert! read more

Fantastic selection to choose from. My server Ana was the best. She offered to make me a sauce and I told her I don't like spicy and she asked about allergies. The sauce she made me was beyond amazing.the vibe is played back and inviting. All in all I will be back. read more
