Interior is spacious and clean. Modern designs and great music! The staff is always so friendly and attentive to us! When we place our order on the iPad, they immediately bring it out. The meat and seafood are always so fresh tasting. The quality on all the ingredients are high. The robot server brings out dessert and drinks! Many different desserts options including authentic Asian desserts! My go to spot for hotpot! Worth the price for all you can eat!

Came here with a friend of mine who absolutely loves hot pot. I had actually never had it before, so I had zero idea what I was in for. But honestly, it turned out to be such a fun and tasty experience! For anyone who hasn't tried it: hot pot is basically a big simmering pot of soup right at your table where you cook all your own food. You pick all your ingredients from soup, veggies, meats, noodles, mushrooms, whatever you want and drop them into the hot broth to cook. It's super customizable and kind of like a mix between soup and DIY cooking right at the table, which is actually a blast once you get the hang of it. We both went with a hot, spicy soup base which was perfect for warming up on a cold day. I threw in broccoli, mushrooms, ribeye, and noodles. The best part is watching everything cook right in front of you and then pulling it out when it's just right. The broth soaks up all those flavors and gets even richer as you go. The flavors were amazing! Really bold and satisfying. The spicy broth was exactly what I needed, and everything we added came out perfectly cooked and delicious. It was warm and cozy, which made the whole thing even better since it felt like the ultimate cold weather meal. I look forward to retuning and trying something completely different!

I've gone here many times, and went again yesterday because the weather was cool and rainy and I needed some warm soup. Compared to some other hot pot restaurants, this one has a large selection of soup, from meat to vegetarian. I always get the herbal, it feels soothing. I really like the tablet for ordering being available just on the table, so that you can order at will and not need to wait for staff. The ordering tablet includes doing refills and calling staff to the table when you need a physical person. They have a robot deliver some items, while the food runners deliver others. The sauce station has everything you can need to add your own flavor to your food. The decor of the restaurant itself is also modern and cute. Yesterday specifically, I went when they were low-staffed and somehow they still managed to crush it in service, I was thoroughly impressed. It's an excellent spot for a soup and AYCR fix, with you controlling the selections.

Kimchi soup, mushrooms, spinach, bean sprouts, corn, chicken thighs, shrimp. Yum Yum!!

We had a great time! It was all our first time with this type of meal. The food was great and the servers were very gracious in walking us through the process of ordering. The ambiance was great.

One of my favorites in the 757 for AYCE hot pot. I love the contemporary ambiance with the neon lights and robot serving drinks and desserts. The staff has always taken good care of us every time we go. When it is your birthday, they sing with the robot and you get a treat! Portions they serve per order are good for those who want to try variety over quantity. They also have a better selection of Asian desserts to chose from along with standards like cake and ice cream. And best of all, it's in the city of Chesapeake!

I do not know how much they cost since it was all free This Restaurant is good Their Tom Yum Soup is delicious Everything is delicious although the price is worrying. Although you can still eat over here if you don't care about them. Get the Dinner Menu so you can maximize your money's worth

I was fortunate enough to win a gift card here on IG. I was excited since I had been wanting to check this place out! This is strictly hotpot NOT BBQ, which I'm completely okay with. It's not a large establishment but their use of space is phenomenal and their neon signs and clean & contemporary style is pleasant. All our servers & bussers were kind & helpful. I love that you order from a tablet at your table. It's super convenient and efficient! It's extremely helpful, so you can visualize & keep track of what you've already ordered. The hand sanitizer wipes are an added bonus. Hygiene is key! I attempted to follow some of the sauce recipes listed at the sauce bar. But apparently I don't have a solid grasp of identifying spices & herbs. haha So I did my best by reading the corresponding labels. Tongs are located at the bar for picking up your raw food items once brought to your table. I'm such a little kid when it comes to novelty dining. I'm a sucker for it. The robot had me smiling and cracking up. It serves you drinks and some of your food items. This adds to the dining experience. It even plays music and greets you! The robot is a godsend for those chatty customers, when employees are on a mission. It quickly took off once I tapped the button. But not before saying, Thanks! BYE! Gotta go!! I was seriously bummed out when I found out that the conveyor belt doesn't run until 5pm. I purposely chose dinner time (after 4pm), because that's when the conveyor belt is in use. Fortunately, We still had time when 5pm rolled around. Super silly, I know but I really enjoyed watching the small plates of various hot pot items pass our table ready for picking. Although, I didn't grab anything from it. I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food. (I need to make more effort.) An assortment of desserts are included with the price, some items are an additional charge. It will list the price if there is one. Same goes for specialty hotpot items. Overall, it was a lovely experience. I really love the robot and conveyor belt. Service was quick & efficient! The tablets are a great idea, as well as the robot. Human servers are there to help as well! They have a nice variety of hot pot items both meat & veggie wise, in addition to cooked cold dishes. Although there was a minor hiccup or two with placing orders it didn't spoil our experience. Our ice cream order didn't arrive, so we just placed it again. We couldn't delete an additional charge item that my sister accidentally clicked. So we called for human assistance via the tablet and he rectified it. The delete button sometimes gets stuck. He was very kind! *Prices are $23.99 +tax LUNCH HRS (12pm-4pm) *$31.99 + tax DINNER HRS (after 4pm -10pm or close) *10% ACTIVE MILITARY DISCOUNT ONLY (MON-THURS) EXCEPT OFF DRINKS During prime hours (FRI-SUN), I suggest getting on their waitlist/reservations on YELP.

One of the best hotpot places I have been in the Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake Area. It is super clean here. The sauce bar has every single thing you need for your sauce. The waiter is a robot that will bring you your drink order. All of the meats were high quality and the veggies were fresh too. No reservations needed during lunch times, but I recommend making reservations for dinner. They share a whole parking lot with other shops and restaurants on the strip.

Our spread!

Talk about an experience! Plenty to eat! Robotice server as needed. Plenty of parking available. Awesome staff! Definitely a chill place to have a girl's luncheon!

All orders on iPad or from the conveyer.

When my friend suggested this after a weekend meditation I was totally down. I'm loving savory soups and curries right now and wanted to have my drinks served by a robot waiter. Haha. It's in a new strip mall near Aldi and is in a great location near the new Dollar store HQ where some great restaurants have been added. Plenty of parking and gorgeous updated restrooms here with a modern look and some cute neon lights inside for insta moments. The concept is like Melting Pot where they bring you a base in a pot and you cook it at your own table by adding in as much or as little of the ingredients as you'd like. They have a sauce bar where you can make your own sauces out of dozens of potential ingredients all ready for you with some suggested recipes on the wall. Think oils and scallions and garlic and hot pepper flakes. On weekends you pay dinner prices but this also means you get more premium add-in proteins like steak and shrimp. Delicious! Everything basic is included like all the veggies, appetizers and meats. Hostess/servers will greet you and explain the process if you have any questions - then you're free to order on the iPad as you wish and it will be promptly brought out for you. You can always even order for someone to stop by on the iPad and they'll come to the table if you have questions. Loved it. My soup was great and a few desserts were included. You can order premium not included items like crab legs and matcha cheesecake but really everything you need is included in the set fee so it's all up to you! For drinks you'll get hot tea or water with lemon or pay for soda and Thai teas.

First time at a hot pot, the confusion was real. Showed up on a Tuesday, a bit after dinner started. It's an $8 difference from lunch to dinner, but you get more choices of meat to pick from. We were greeted and given a brief run down of how things works. The host showed us how to order using their iPad system, explained what was included and what was not, then directed us to the sauce bar when we were ready. Honestly I was overwhelmed, and confused for a while. We all ordered but when things came out, nothing was 'labeled' and we ended up getting extra items we hadn't ordered. So we all were sitting there confused looking at each other. Super glad an employee was at the next table over, and we asked her what was what when she had a moment. As you eat you can order more meat, veggies, drinks, desserts, and their little extras. We had a party of 4. It was a little frustrating, for example, we would order 2 sides of dumplings for us all to share, but they'd bring out 4 dumplings total (sometimes 6). They also had their conveyor belt going, with other little items you could grab. I am not adventurous with playing is it intestines or something else, and because nothing was labeled, I did not partake lol. Over all it was quite a nice experience. It was fun getting to cook my own food, make dipping sauces (I used their recommendations they had listed) and just trying something new. I loved that I wasn't bloated or feeling like I was going to burst after. We're adding this to our date night (okay probably for lunch lol) ideas for down the road.

Tom yum, Miso broths with lots of veggies, meats and dumplings to cook!

We loved the whole experience, I especially loved all the choices of veggies/meat that were included in the price. So much to choose from and all fresh! Tom Yum was our fave, and I was thrilled to see lotus root and taro as options, including the marinated shrimp! Absolutely delicious. My kids really enjoyed the conveyor belt options. Service was great, there was always someone available to ask questions. Very nice restaurant and vibe! We will be back for sure!

Ordering on the tablet
Michael M.

My absolute favorite place in Chesapeake VA. Just down the street from my house. This is where you will catch me on a random Tuesday or Wednesday. This gem of a restaurant is unique in its own way from other hot pot places. You start off first ordering on a tablet. This includes your broth, veggies, meat, sides, and of course your drinks. After you submit the order, shortly after the robot servant will bring you your drinks. Which is so jarring at first! But it's pretty fun after you start to watch it go around the dining area delivering people's drinks. After that while you are waiting you could go to the sauce bar and grab your condiments. You could get a bowl of hoisin sauce, siracha, soy sauce, or even my favorite: boom boom sauce. Which is like a sweet and spicy sort of mayonnaise based sauce. After they deliver the pot of broth for you and your compadres they set the dial to high on the stove in front of you. When they deliver the veggies, meats, and sides you can start cookin! Yes, you will have to cook the foods all by yourself. So if you're not willing to put in some work this place may not be for you. But it's real easy! I like it better this way since I can take the food right from the pot when it's ready. My preference is the Tom Yum broth, egg noodles, tofu, and pork belly to start off, with an assortment of veggies. This combo is the most satisfying to me. Especially after cooking the pork belly in Tom yum broth then dipping it in the boom boom sauce. So tasty! You can reorder more if you're really feeling hungry. They only charge you per person. So most items on the menu don't have a limit. With the exception of a few premium items and drinks. My apologies, I could go on and on about how much me and my wife love this place. But this gives you an idea of what to expect and how to start off especially if you're on the fence about this kind of restaurant. Don't overthink it. Just go!

For the last ten to fifteen minutes of our drive, I had noticed a restaurant called Mongolian Warrior, so I suggested we stop there. When we walked inside, we were offered drinks and some soup with sesame seed bread, which was delicious. We watched other customers go to the bar to select their raw ingredients, adding vegetables, shaved meats, and sauces. After assembling your bowl, you give it to the cook, who places it on a very large, hot flat-top grill. I noticed the cooks moving in circles, skillfully tossing the food across the heated surface. The restaurant allows you to go back for as many servings as you want, though they ask that you do not waste food or take any home. This seemed very fair, especially since I enjoyed three bowls of the delicious food. The atmosphere was laid-back, with a charming "mom and pop" feel. The food was great; my wife was so ecstatic that she couldn't believe how wonderful it was, and she already wants to return.
