I am delighted to find one of the cheapest yet tasty all you can eat bbq grill or hot pot restaurants I have ever been to. More about this place being bbq or hot pot in a second. Flying into town I was hungry after a 7 hour flight and maybe it tastes so good because all i had was pretty much chips and pretzels most of the day but my party can attest to how delicious their offerings are here. We ended up here since it was one of the few places with good reviews open until 2am which turned out to be so right! First of all you can choose to do hot pot or grill your food here for 35.99 per person and 15.99 for kids under 11 years old. Kids under 3.5 feet are even cheaper or free from what I understand. It gets even better; for 5.99 more per person you can opt to do both hot pot and grill at the same time. Walking in you feel like you walked into the afterparty at a night club the music keeps you awake and lively every minute of being in the restaurant. Staff was very accommodating after hearing it was our first time here and explained everything. Now to the food. We only had the hot pot option but it was so mouth watering. For a cheap all you can eat the cuts of chicken, fatty beef, pork were so thinly cut that it melts in your mouth. They have an assortment of meats, seafood and veggies that seem like everything known to mankind. The sauce bar and buffet of little appetizers and trinkets were so irresistible. So much of the good stuff now onto the warnings. They do have a 100 min limit but it didnt seem enforced past 11pm when we came in as the waiter said we can take our time. Further I noticed a 13.99 per pound surcharge if you have excessive waste. Fortunately I loved the food so I didnt mind overfilling the belly but if you do overindulge make sure not to obviously have excess or they do reserve the right to charge additional. It did seem portions were getting bigger toward the end so that could be a setup for those who ask for more than they can handle. Overall this place is a gem and worth trying if you haven't done so already. I would be surprised if it didnt have any hype from the local crowd. read more

Came with a group of 8 for hot pot. Expansive list of options to order for hot pot soups, meat and veggies. Meats and vegetables are fresh. Service is quick, from ordering to arrival of food. There is also a hot food, salad and dipping sauce bar you can get food from also. I really appreciate that each person has their own individual pot/soup choice. You can top off your meal with a soft serve cone (matcha or vanilla) if you still have room! read more

Amazing assortment of foods and delicious soup bases. Loved the fruit bar and sauce combinations. Beef tripe and chicken feet were satisfying and they don't give super big portions, which is nice. read more

Visited with a group of 8 people. Highly recommend making reservations as this place is really popular. The menu was expansive and the meat quality was quite good. Normally the prepared foods at the AYCE places are mediocre, but the wings and the fried shrimp here were outstanding. To top things off, there's a soft serve machine that featured match and vanilla, but the matcha was gone by the time I went. Would love to go again! read more

Top Pot & KBBQ - Mountains of meat and veggies - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I am so happy to have a AYCE hotpot and kbbq spot in the city than to travel to the suburbs. I highly recommend reservations or saving a spot in advance, because my walk in for a table of 4 for a Friday night was about an hour wait. Which is completely normal for a peak time for AYCE! Once seated, we walked through the different broth options for hotpot and after went to create our dipping sauces! The sauce station is after/down the line of the hot bar section and wow they had some amazing choices. The chicken wings with Sichuan/5 spice seasoning a highlight of my meal - I would seriously order these to go sometime. The sauce bar after has a ton of choices and some pre set recommendations which could be helpful for some first timers. All cuts of meat, seafood, and veggies were delicious and perfect. They even have a soft serve machine for dessert after and it was a great end to our meal. We walked out happy, full, and excited to visit again! read more

Great food, variety of food options. Appetizer bar and ice cream. The location of the burner controls is poorly situated. You have to scoot back your chair far back or lean heavily to the left or right to access and see what temperature you need. I saw waiters crouched down helping customers locate the controls. Service was okay, our waitress got more customers so it was awhile in between her stopping by. Got low on water and waited for the check. read more

Great place! Will be coming back a lot! The meat exceed my expectations. I always think unlimited bbq meat is usually lower quality but was great quality here! The drinks were so yummy. I got the lychee margarita and that was omg. The service was also amazing. Our server was so attentive. There was some others that would also pass by to make sure everything was going good. read more

Really cool and fun experience! I have only done KBBQ once in Chicago before but it was nothing like this We really enjoyed the huge variety of food! it was so fun and such a wild experience trying so many different fun foods. Tried some new to me meats! Sauces here were really nice too. Loved the chef's secret sauce. I did like the hot pot way better but both were still cool. Definitely a fun spot for a treat or for a group. Cocktails were good too Our server was phenomenal his name was Daniel "Dan the man who can!" hes the best!! read more

Really fun place! All you can eat dinner for under 50 bucks! You really can't beat the price. If you've never been to a BBQ & Hot Pot, it can be really overwhelming and over stimulating. They brought all the food out at once and it was on a million plates. I wish they would have spaced out the meals or been a little more cognizant of the limited space. The hot pot was our favorite part. Service was pretty good for a very busy Saturday night. Fun place for a date night or a group outing! read more

My friend and I checked this place out on a Saturday evening. We got there around 7 and we had about an hour-1.5 hour wait. I knocked off a star because I wish you could join a waitlist online as we just were waiting around outside. The weather was great so it wasn't a big deal but it would be annoying if it was freezing cold or raining. But I digress. Our experience at Top Pot & KBBQ was great! I'm a big fan of hot pot so I was excited to check this spot out. We only did hotpot on this visit. They have about 8 different broths to choose from. We were also told we could try another broth during our visit if we wanted. They have a great selection of meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles/dumplings etc to choose from. In addition to the food items you cook at the table, there's also a buffet bar with items like fruit, fried rice, curry, and crab Rangoon that is also included in the price. They also have a sauce bar (my favorite part of hot pot) that you can customize the type of sauce(s) you want to accompany your entree. Top Pot has coverings on the sauce bar which is a nice sanitary addition. They also have a bar that serves alcoholic drinks and bubble tea. Our waiter was super helpful and kind. Because it was so busy there, he didn't come over too often but it wasn't a big deal. They also have complimentary soft serve ice cream that you can get at the end of your meal (or at any part of your meal- no judgement lol). But overall, we had a great experience here. It's located in the Southside Works so there is ample parking around. read more

We had KBBQ. Our first choice was the bugogi beef. It's delicious. We also had lamb, shrimp and scallops. You could make your own dipping sauce from over twenty different ingredients: sesame oil, hot sauce, scallions etc. they have suggested combination suggestions posted. The server was very helpful in making decisions and checked in with us frequently We came early. It does get noisier as the night goes on. So choose the time according to your own taste It is expensive but I would definitely go again read more

So much fun! Glad to finally stumble upon a place like this in Pittsburgh! Service was great, experience was superb, and ambience is fun too. So many ingredient options to choose from for the pots and bbq. Oh and did I mention how fun this place is!?? I will definitely be back to try more options. read more

Top Pot & KBBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

One important thing to do before coming here: come with a super empty stomach All you can eat dining is always a fun time esp when you have the options for both kbbq and hot pot or either one. The menu had so much items across from hot pot vegetables, noodles, soup bases, and dumplings, to different types of meat in their kbbq section. I am a big fan of brisket and I never regret ordering it over and over again, and this place does well with serving a great portion each time. Their spicy pork belly was also impeccably seasoned well. The place is huge and there are many seatings but it can definitely get busy especially on the weekends and peak times. Expect for up to an hour wait, but it def helps with expanding your appetite so you can get the full experience lol. read more

WOWZA! This place is so awesome! You start by ordering ANYTHING or EVERYTHING!! You can do just a pot or splurge for the BBQ and Pot. We did the BBQ and Pot option. Everyone at the table must agree to the choice, so talk it over first. You then head to the buffet for some "appetizers". What? Are you kidding? We needed to control our portions as we knew we had ordered a ton of food at the table. The appetizers included Ma Po Tofu, Szechuan chicken, spicy fried chicken, fried rice and more. Then there's the buffet of sauces and toppings. WOW-flavor galore! When we got back to our table our meal choices were already there. We each got out own broth for the bowl portion. We then started our cooking frenzy. We got beef (YUM), lamb (meh), veggies, (delicious), different mushrooms (fun), Odon noodles, ramen noodles, and fish and lobster balls. Spice levels are definitely real! If it says it's spicy-it is! You have two hours to heat and eat-ready...GO! Are you still hungry-go for it! They will bring you out more. Just be careful. They do charge for over-ordering as well as for take-out. Although we were stuffed!! We did pace ourselves and finished all we ordered. Then, you get fruit, cookies and ice cream for dessert. Trust me-don't eat for the whole day. Then, pace yourself. It was so good! The space was hopping too. So much to look at. So much going on. And the wait staff are very nice and helpful. read more

I loved the futuristic lights and vibe inside and this is definitely a group activity so bring your friends. There's tons of seating and tables for big groups. I liked the hot appetizers bar in case you're hungry and can't wait a few minutes for them to bring out the things you ordered and the make your own sauce bar really makes this a customizable experience. We got SO many different meats, sides and veggies to share - do yourself a favor and get the beef bulgogi and the Szechuan hot spicy broth. Doing both hot pot and Korean BBQ is always chaotic fun and I'm thrilled that there's another great addition to the Pittsburgh food scene! Also pro tip: wear clothes you don't care about and put your hair up because you WILL smell like Korean bbq afterwards! read more

First time here. I've been to one other KBBQ/Hotpot place in Texas. Good service, good food. Soup was good. All of the hotpot veggies and meats were excellent. Pho noodles and vermicelli were both good additions. The KBBQ portion - the ribeye wasn't my favorite. The spicy pork belly was excellent. We tried the spicy calamari, that's one I won't order again, but that's a personal preference. read more

For our first K-BBQ experience, this was definitely interesting! First and foremost, we really liked the buffet offerings! I thought it had one of the best Curry Chicken I've had in a long time, and the green beans were great! The fried rice was good, and the sauce bar was quite extensive. I found it difficult, though, with how big the bowls were that you had to use. I would suggest that they get smaller sauce-bowls, to make sampling easier. This trip, we only tried the bbq. Like I said, that was definitely interesting. Some of the items were difficult to make with a large party because of cook time, so, that tended to be an issue. Also, soon after we started, our grill died. They ended up having to split our party and move a few of us away. I appreciated that they took it serious enough to move us immediately, however, it was for my daughters' birthday, so that was unfortunate. Their Uncle and I sat and celebrated from afar. That, though, is not on them. I'm glad they cared enough not to make us sit there and wait. The meats were good for the most part. All of our party agreed that the Lamb was not very good, though. All mentioned it tasted sour, and they would not get again. We found the place to be clean, unlike a lot of other reviewers. We also went early on a Saturday, so that may have helped with crowd-induced destruction. Service was also great. We do eventually plan to go back to try the Hot Pot experience, and I will update accordingly. read more

The restaurant is really sleek and modern. The food was pretty good. The sauce station was a disaster because other diners were leaving huge messes behind. I didn't really get an all you can eat experience so that made me deduct stars. Our waiter seemed to go out of his way to avoid us so we couldn't order more meat. We were able to make our initial order and then he never asked us if we wanted anything else. I also have to make a note on the ladies restroom because it was SO dark in there, I could barely see. Personally, there are other hot pot places that I like better, but this one is ok. read more

A decent hot pot experience. The building is beautiful inside and has a modern look. Service was just OK, I felt like I had to wave to get their attention just to get a refill. The food was high quality and very tasty. Make sure that you order everything you think you'll need the first time because getting additional items later took a while. They have a nice sauce bar where you can mix your own ingredients but it does get very messy depending on who is using it. Pork belly seemed a little too thick for my liking. I wish I could give this place 3.5 stars because its not bad at all and I would go again. read more

Really fantastic. Take an appetite with you. So many different options. I preferred the grill over the hot pot read more

AWESOME food selection. Love the hot appetizer bar. The day we went, there was shrimp fried rice, some spicy deep fried chicken wings, a seafood boil, deep fried shrimp covered in a sweet creamy sauce among other items I didn't eat. All very good. The choices for hot pot and BBQ was food also. Love the ribeye option for BBQ. Meat selection seemed to be higher quality than Shabu Shabu in Robinson. They had matcha and chocolate soft serve they day. Both weren't terribly flavorful, but better than the crappy ice cream cups from Shabu Shabu. Negatives Ordering with a person versus Shabu Shabu where you pick out the ingredients yourself or the hot pot places in Virginia where you can select on an iPad. Because you had to ask the waiter for fatty beef, veggies, etc. it became chaotic as to what you ordered, who ordered what, etc. because you couldn't visually see/remember what you ordered. For example, I ordered 1 chicken for hot pot and somehow the table got 3-4 plates of it. Food waste when relying on another person to take the order. It was loud in the restaurant partially due to the music and the soft-spoken wait staff. The placement of the hotpot temperature dials were in an awkward position--you had to really bend over to see under the table where the dials were buried. read more

Food was great! I wish there was an option to dine on just the appetizers because they were so good and sometimes you don't want to cook your own food. Overall great experience! read more

We had ordered ramen noodles and didn't receive them but got the other stuff we ordered. We brought up the lack of noodles and then the server remembered that they ran out of the ramen noodles. Most importantly, the buffet bar advertised crab Rangoons but when I bit into it, it was not crab. It was probably beef which is troublesome in case someone was a pescatarian or had some kind of food restriction. read more

We had such a great time at Top Pot! We loved how many options there were for both the KBBQ and hot pot, definitely recommend doing both. It was really cool to be able to make our own sauces. The hot food buffet was surprisingly good as well. I loved how self serve everything was, but our waiter was also really attentive. We waited about 30 mins to be seated on a Saturday evening, which was not bad at all. It's a large space so there are plenty of tables! I can't wait to come back! read more

This spot is great!! I love a hot pot and kbbq combo and you can do either and or both here! Prices are reasonable and there's a lot of options to choose from. Love that they have marinated galbi and bulgogi here for kbbq. There is a big meat and seafood selection. They also have a ton of veggie options too which is nice. I love all the tofu types they have. We didn't get to try any of the bubble teas since they ran out. Staff is super nice and everyone seems to be having a good time. The vibes are great since it's very modern and the decor is fun. They also have a hot bar with a ton of food from japchae to fried rice and fried shrimp. There's a really nice sauce bar and I appreciate all the covers over since it's more sanitary. Overall, great place for a group! Lots of seating so large groups are great for this spot too! read more

Had such an excellent experience at this newly opened Korean BBQ & hot pot restaurant for Father's Day weekend. There were a few little hiccups and delays seating us, but from that moment on we had a great time nThe food was all fresh, marinated, tender, and delicious. What I noticed really at Top Pot apart from other K BBQ and hot pot places in the area is that there's an included hot app bar alongside the build-your-own dip/sauce station. My whole table agreed that the chicken wings at this bar were honestly some of the best we've ever had. They're crunchy and dusted with a sriracha dry rub. Absolutely delicious! The decor is bright, neon, and welcoming. The only thing I didn't love is that we had to keep going up to the appetizer bar to grab more plates for our table, each time the staff cleared away our dirty ones. Would def recommend! Parking is out front on the street. read more

So excited to see more AYCE experiences in the burgh! Top Pot has a hot appetizer bar, a sauce bar, dessert, and of course all you can eat Korean BBQ or Hot Pot (or both).

Our server was very thorough, the bartender came to check on our drinks, and the staff worked really well together to get all of the tables what they needed. We can't wait to go back! read more

This place is SO GOOD! When it's busy, it's definitely tight walking to the restroom or to go up to the buffet, but worth it. I loved every single thing I had here. Highly recommend going in larger groups to try more of the food and get the most bang for your buck! We had a group of 6, and it allowed me to try way more than if it was just two of us trying to eat everything. read more

I would like to say don't ever go to the top pot on the southside. They are terrible poor service no customer service skills. Please do not ever go to this place ever food terrible meat terrible everything about this place is terrible. read more

Though rather fat laden, the food was good- I learned NOT to pay until you are actually done- after having trouble getting someone to get refills on BBQ, I visited the ready to eat salad and fruit section... then they brought my bill which I paid, telling them I wasn't quite finished eating. She smiled and said ok, but was soon back telling me 'they' needed the table, handed me a to go box for what was still on my plate and asked me to leave?? I told the people at the door how rude it was, and she immediately asked if I got a takeout box?? Clearly common practice. Too bad I already tipped on the card payment. read more

Not bad! I do think the place off McKnight is a bit better. Same price point too. The service here was slow. We had to keep asking them to replace our bbq stove after a few minutes. The drinks came out towards the end of our meal (and we were there for a while), so we couldn't even drink them because we wanted to drive home!!!! What a waste. The quality wasn't bad, but I didn't like the crab rangoons. The lemongrass beef and spicy bulgogi were not good. Beef tongue was great! Definitely try it for yourself read more
