I love this place-- my go to hot pot place even though there are several in Howard County. They offer a variety of flavors, meats, and veggies for hot pot and it is all you can eat. Go hungry and be sure to try a little bit of everything! Food comes out quickly even you order more. Just a heads up-- it gets crowded during peak hours on the weekend! read more

I was there a several months ago and just got around to reviewing it. Not because it wasn't good, quite the opposite - I have been slacking! My friend and I should have checked out more reviews to get the finer points down before coming. Having said that, the food was amazing. It's just that there was SO.MUCH. We mistakenly ordered "a bit" of several types of chicken and pork, only to learn it was meant to be a full serving of each one. So we ended up with enough food to feed four people easily. Oops. Everything was very fresh and the serve yourself sauces meant a totally customizable experience. Staff was helpful at explaining things and the service was very good. Definitely not a romantic date place, as the ambience was very bright and sort of industrial. There's lots of free parking around there, and the only suggestion I have is they need MUCH better signage. We both parked across the street at the edge of the mall parking lot, but it wasn't until we were directly across from the restaurant that we could see where it was! read more

Yes I love a good seafood boil and hot pot. I love the condiments, sauces and food bar. They have half crabs, shrimp tempura, dumplings and more. I love the decor and high technology. The robot that brings you your food is awesome. The servers are very attentive and accommodating. The only downside is that they do not serve alcohol. If they did, they would have 5 stars. I'll definitely will be back. read more

Continuing my alphabet series with U is for Urban Hot Pot (1 of 2 for U), on Friday, May 3, 2024, after a movie at AMC Columbia, we checked out a radio remote by the lake. We were weighing options of what to eat, and we decided on trying Urban Hot Pot. It's a smaller place, but we were seated in ample time. You order on the screen the various meats, veggies, etc. you want. Then, they have robotic trays to bring out the various things you ordered. Server comes around too for drinks, etc. but there isn't great instruction of what to do. We were struggling with something not cooking all the way and weren't always so sure when it's done. Most of the food was great with a couple of things that were just ok. It's a bit on the pricey side, but not really far off from our hot pot places. Overall, in spite of a couple of negative, it was very good and would consider coming back as hot pot is a specialty category we almost never get. Sadly, I guess I was too hungry, dealing with making the food, & in the moment, I didn't get any pics. read more

As a big fan of hot pot, I had to try this spot by Columbia Mall. This place has parallel parking out front and shares the mall parking lot so theres plenty of spaces. This place is a bit smaller than most hot pot places ive been to but the service was great. You take your order on a tablet and a robot will bring your food. The servers will clear plates often to keep the table clean. The food was great. The broths were flavorful, meats and veggies are fresh, but the sauce bar was lacking. They didn't have as many options and dont keep it well stocked. They do have buffet hot plates with fried foods like shrimp, chicken nuggets which were decent. With tip, it ended up being right under $100. Great place! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Urban Hot Pot in Columbia, MD was truly awful. The servers had an incredibly bad attitude from the moment we walked in -- unfriendly, impatient, and almost rude when we asked basic questions about the menu. It felt like they didn't want to be there and definitely didn't care about customer service. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing. The ingredients didn't seem fresh, the broth lacked flavor, and the sauces tasted off. For the price they charge, I expected much better quality. The entire experience felt rushed and unpleasant. Overall, both the service and the food were terrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone -- there are plenty of other hot pot restaurants nearby that actually care about their customers and serve good food. read more

Great hot pot place that has a variety of meets and veggies. They also had a lot of dessert of options which is different from other hot pot places. It's all you can eat so you can order as much as you want from the iPad at the table. The food is delivered by a cute robot, who is adorable. They have a variety of broths from mild to extra spicy. All our orders came out pretty fast and it was very delicious. I would come back for just the hot pot robot, it was so cute whenever it dropped off the food. read more

I had a wonderful lunch at Urban Hot Pot. I have never eaten hot pot by myself before and didn't know what to expect on portion size. So I ordered what I wanted to eat thinking they would give me small portions, but they have very generous portions and I couldn't quite finish. The hot pot ingredients were very fresh and clean. I ordered medium spicy and it didn't taste as spicy as I expected, so next time I can try spicy. They had the robot guys bring plates to people, I wish I had more stomach room to order more food so that the robot can come to my table. So fancy and modern! The restaurant is conveniently located right across the street from the mall. Parking was easy. Bathroom was clean. read more

My husband and I used to love it here. This place isn't what it used to be. There must have been a change in ownership at some point. The broths tasted very different compared to prior visits and not in a good way (one very bitter, another just weird). The quality of most of the meats were ok but the shrimp tasted odd. Most veggies that came out were ok. Service was okay, especially since you're now able to grab things off the conveyor belt. They no longer serve or make the gongcha teas. Not a big deal, but it was nice to have fresh made drinks as options. The sauce bar was messy/dirty and did not seem well kept (several fruit flies? This place now has a mini self-serve appetizer buffet bar with some Americanized Chinese buffet food (ex. General tso's chicken). Also, there's a small dessert bar that also incorporates a cheap buffet vibe (ex. ice cream cups in a freezer case). The food and experience at this place was so much better when it first opened. Now, it feels like an overpriced low quality buffet. Disappointing. read more

Urban Hot Pot offers a unique experience of all-you-can eat hot pot of veggies, meats and seafood within your own personal hot pot. It's a different way of experiencing food and I highly recommend. The wait for a table can be at least 40 minutes during the weekend so I suggest getting there before the lunch or dinner rush. I believe there is a two hour limit once you are seated. Once seated you order your food via a tablet and the food comes out quickly. We ordered a ton of meats, seafood and veggies. It was a great experience to cook your own meal at the table. The robot, Jessica brought out some of our dishes. My favorites included the sliced US beef, octopus, baby bok Choy and all of the mushrooms. Be aware most of the broths are pork based, the veggie and chicken broths are both good. The spice levels can we very intense, I prefer the less spicy option. The price for the hot pot is about $35 per person and dessert is included. I will definitely be coming back. read more

My family and I loved this hot pot restaurant. Ordering was super easy using a tablet at the table, and the hot pots are individual, so you don't have to all agree on a flavor or spice level. They have a really wide variety of meats (different cuts of steak, seafood, marinated meat, etc ), vegetables, starches, to cook in the broth as well as specials such as spicy boiled crawfish. The dipping sauce bar could have been a little neater, because some diners had spilled things into other bowls. The noise level was pretty loud, but the atmosphere was upbeat and fun. They also had delicious coconut sago for dessert which was not too sweet and refreshing. read more

One of my favorite hot pot places in the area. The broth, vegetables and cuts of meat are always consistent. Yes some of the meats come out frozen, but 2-3 mins in your steaming hot broth will cook everything. The location has tables on both sides. There's a conveyor belt in the middle with some random ingredients. I really like the high ceilings and Koi fish lights on the ceiling. The music here can be a bit loud if you plan on taking any calls. I've come here for lunch and dinner. Dinner is about $10 more at $35. You get some more premium cuts of meat and they offer better seafood options a la carte. Service here is always on point. There's always a staff member close to you ready to clean your table, refill your drinks and the food comes out really quickly. They even feature those robots now to deliver your food. The sauce station is always clean. Definitely try their meat sauce. If you're by the mall or Columbia in general this is the spot for hot pot. read more

Tip: Pack your patience if you get there when it's busy; the wait can be lengthy. Urban Hot Pot is a unique hot pot spot because it has a Cajun seafood broil menu. We did both hot pot and ordered off the Cajun seafood broil menu. The hot pot is the Individual pot style. The menu consists of the standard hot pot items; meats, veggies, seafood, etc. The Cajun seafood broil menu had a variety of different options that was a mix of crab legs, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and crawfish. You can add extras of some items for an extra costs. The flavor was excellent and fulfilling even without any extras. It would be nice to have more options by the pound of an item rather than base options that's not specified to one item. Note, not all items were available for extras that we wanted. For example, we wanted more crab legs than sausage. Based on the available additional options, what we wanted extra and for the price; we ended up just getting an entire bag of Cajun seafood broil to make sense of the price. We shared the extra bag. It would have been nice to just order an extra pound of crab legs. Overall the dual option of hot pot and Cajun seafood broil was a plus and great. We'd definitely go back again. read more

Finally tried an establishment from my "yum list" and I was not disappointed! Kind of disappointed I waited so long. I love anything Asian inspired, infused..all of it. So I am always trying to find a delicious ramen like place and Urban Hot Pot has my attention for the time being. This place was really packed and seems like that's a regular thing but staff was working hard to accommodate everyone. My initial wait was 45 minutes but it only took about 30minutes in total and your orders will come out super fast. We were asked if it was our first time and received a clear rundown of how everything works. My kids enjoyed it so much, they've already scheduled our return. read more

This is an awesome spot located in the Columbia Mall. We stopped by on a Friday night and made a reservation the day before on Yelp. It got busier as the evening went on so I'd recommend a reservation if you can. We did the all you can eat buffet and just ordered away. I'd say it's a little pricier than other hot pot locations in the Maryland area (at ~$35 for the buffet) but the experience/food quality was worth it in my opinion. They had a bunch of broth options, but I went for the classic option. The proteins were fresh and done of them were also seasoned for taste. The fish balls were really awesome. Of course they also had sauces that gave the broth unique tastes along with the proteins and vegetables. We paced ourselves a little by ordering 6-10 options for the entire table to share at a time until the food got depleted and ordered more options. They also had classic + fruity soju options that went great with the hot pot. Dessert options on the buffet consisted of ice cream, fresh fruits, a coconut liquid dessert, and cake. Service was super fast and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend that you stop by if you're in the area to fulfill your hot pot cravings. read more

I was in the Columbia area. I actually started out craving a lobster salad. The restaurant where I usually purchase it. Didn't have it available. So I'm a seafood lover and decided to check this place out for their seafood boiler. It did not disappoint. Even though I purchased this to go. It had everything included that was needed to enjoy this at home. Including the crab legs. You decide the flavor and spiciness. This was enough for two people to share. We both enjoyed every bite. Including the sausage and sweet corn on the cob. I would definitely order that again! read more

I love urban hot pot!! I've been coming here for a while now. The selection of fresh ingredients is unparalleled, from premium meats/seafood to an array of vegetables. The are also many options at the sauce bar/toppings station. The ordering process is very easy and done on a tablet. It's unlimited and you have a 90 minute time slot. I also love that they have a conveyer belt where you can just get grab-and-go items for your hot pot! One thing I really like about this place is the how clean the environment is. You get sanitation wipes at each table and can swap out utensils/bowls (I'm a little bit OCD if you can't tell). If you're a hot pot enthusiast like myself, I highly recommend this place! read more

It's a bit bland/simpler compared to the other bases I've had in the past. There's a great selection of meats, veggies, and sauce bar. Sometimes, we didn't get our complete order of food but it's okay since it's AYCE. Definitely be ready to eat your moneys worth here! read more

Visited Urban Hot Pot again today for dinner. We waited about an hour for a table after putting our name on the waitlist. We were quickly seated after checking in with the host stand. Sadly, the food was just not as good as it usually is. Everything looked old or like it had been sitting out for a while. The kimchi and some of the vegetables especially had this problem. The meat quality was also not up to par for what we're used to when visiting. The portions were even pretty small, granted it's AYCE so you can order more, but usually the first order of items is larger. Might have been an off night due to coming in close to closing and at the end of the weekend. read more

I love coming to urban hotpot. Everything is always clean and neatly organized. I like how you can order what you want with an ipad because it's so convenient. And the servers bring the ingredients to you pretty quickly. I usually get the original soup. The broth is so good and they also refill it for you when they see that you're almost out of soup. I always go during lunch hour too to get the lunch pricing which is pretty good for an AYCE. Parking Tip: this location is right next to the Mall in Columbia but if you park at the mall parking lot it's really hard to cross the street because there are always so many cars and not enough crosswalks. But the Urban Hotpot building has a free public parking garage on the other side of where Urban hot pot is located it's so much easier to just park there and walk around the corner than crossing the big road. read more

Visited at the recommendation of my daughter. I blame it on TikTok...she might be a slight foodie in the making. Anyway, overall the food was good. I felt overwhelmed when initially ordering, but with a little help from the staff, I understood the process. There's a tablet on the table where you order your broth, ingredients such as your meat, type of noodles, etc. While it's "cool" to cook your meal by yourself (there's an electric burner on the table), for me, the experience was just ok. My daughter, of course, loved it. I wouldn't go back on my own; but if she tried to drag me, maybe I'd go. lol. read more

I ordered the Pick 3 Seafood combo to go and got myself some shrimps, mussels, and crawfish. As you can see in the picture below, the amount of food for $36 post-tax is not bad. The whole online ordering and pick up only took about 20 minutes. So needless to say, the restaurant is pretty efficient. There were a good amount of corns, potatoes, and sausages. Unfortunately, the seafood themselves were a tad bit underwhelming in portion. The overall taste is good. I ordered extra extra spicy, and the flavors were definitely there. It's just there was a tad bit too much salt. I'll definitely go back to try their actual hot pot next time. read more

The restaurant has ample spacing for guests ranging from 2-12 people. You have to call to make reservations bigger than 6.

16 year old and I dined here two days in a row while staying in Columbia, MD. During Covid, we missed going to Hot Pot and Urban Hot Pot really hit the spot! I would not call ourselves "pros", but we had been to enough hot pot places to know the drill. Pick your broth, then order all your goodies to cook yourself. It looks like this place might have once had a conveyer belt but now everything has to be ordered. There was a wide variety of items including meat, fish, pastas, veggies. It would be nice to have smaller portions provided. Sometimes I felt we wanted to try an ingredient or have a small amount but the portions were big and we did not want to waste. Service was fantastic. Order everything in the iPad (even water). Everything arrives promptly. There is a sauce bar so you can custom spice your broth. You can also order boba teas. Our hot pot came with dessert and soft serve ice cream. Urban Hot Pot gets busy so I recommend reservations. It's in a convenient area right near the mall with tons of other restaurants. read more

I love this place! I probably go here once a month and I'm never disappointed. The raw meats and veggies that come out are always fresh. AND the food comes out so quickly too... I'll send my order to the kitchen through the iPad and it'll be at my table in 5 minutes or less. (Sometimes even the little robot brings out your food :) Before you order, the people working in the restaurant always ask if you've been there before. It's very nice because if it's your first time.. they will explain the process. The place is not tiny but it's a cozy/ comfortable small if you know what I mean.

The owner informed us only when presenting the check, stating, "It's a holiday, so I have to charge you dinner prices." Since the Wednesday before Christmas is suddenly considered a holiday, it felt very dishonest. It makes you wonder where else they might try to scam you.

Sauce bar was well stocked. Another thing, they didn't have any A Choy, Crown daisies and enoki mushrooms which was disappointing.

From a wide range of broths, to the clean, buffet style option you can choose to get your food from instead of hoping the server brings it to you.

Food: 4/5 My go-to is the Tom Yum and the broth is flavorful with a good amount of sour alongside the spice. The quality of the meat is good, but I just feel like there could be more options and consistency. For example, I am a fiend for enoki mushrooms and they never have them. My family also loves watercress and it depends on the day if they have them. They changed their winter melon tea to a plum tea as well. Service: 5/5 polite staff, no complaints! Just be aware you get up to grab your own meats/seafood/veggies as well as the sauces. The servers are there for the initial broth placement orders, drinks, and if you need additional help there are server assistance buttons at each table. Ambiance: Every time I have been here, the place is not too crowded or loud at all. Plenty of tables to seat 4, some partially enclosed tables for parties of 6-7, and a round table to accommodate 8. There is a TV in the center playing dramas or music videos but usually no audio. Parking: large shopping center parking lot, but it can be busy.

They have a great 12-4pm lunch special on weekdays, two-hours of grill-it-yourself All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ or Hot Pot (pho-like soup) for $21, (less for kids). Arriving about 12:15pm, we were seated by the alert host with no wait. I think they could fit around 40 in booths for 4 to 6. There's a whole other area further in for maybe 50 more, with some tables for large groups. The room was lively with conversation and music. We were immediately greeted by our attentive friendly fun server, Mahlah, who explained it all to us: menu choices and pricing, the wireless ordering-tablet, techniques for grilling, and the buffet appetizers and desserts. She lit the grill that is built into our table, and took our first order so we could start in as soon as we got back from the buffet. At the buffet we filled a dish with nicely-fiery flavorful kimchee and a similar spicy mix with tofu. We got lettuce, carrot shreds, and fresh tomato chunks. Warm sesame-covered mochi-rice balls, lightly sweet and fresh with a chewy inside. Fresh hot finger-thin 2-inch spring-rolls, crispy and flakey with a little bit of veggies inside. I got small hot flakey crispy rangoon triangles filled with cream cheese with just a little crab-flavor. I ate a couple to manage that spicy kimchee and tofu :-). They had fries and breaded shrimp and chicken wings, too. We filled smaller bowls with several of their dozen or more flavorful sauces, from a KPOT signature red sweet bbq sauce, to a pretty-spicy red sauce, to a bowl of soy-sauce to which we added chives and onions and garlic and jalapeños and such. All very tasty and fresh. The lunch-menu Korean BBQ offered a wide selection of meats and seafood and veg. Mahlah was always nearby, watchful for any requests, and brought our first course in mere minutes. The "spicy" bulgogi beef was cut in medium-thick slices, maybe 1/8-in thick, and it cooked quickly while staying very juicy and very tender. The prime brisket was cut in thicker slabs, maybe 1/4-in, and it was marbled enough for good juicy flavor and tender texture even on this hot grill. We used the scissors to size it down for eating. The beef-belly was very thinly sliced, paper-thin, and it cooked up in a flash, getting a a slight crust like a well-done Italian porchetta. That took some practice to cook without almost evaporating it! The trick? The table-grill is hottest in the middle, so cook delicate foods around the edge of the grill. We had tender chunks and strips of juicy marinated garlic-chicken breast, and tender juicy good-sized garlic-shrimp, which were both very easy to grill. We tried some thick slices and long tangles of squid, and they were tasty but we didn't really figure out how to keep them tender, so we cut them up into smaller pieces with the scissors and marinated them in soy sauce which really enhanced the slight char. We grilled sliced white onion, thin zucchini circles, chunks of fresh green peppers, thin tasty white oyster mushroom discs, and thicker chunks of peppers and portobello mushrooms. On we go! We ordered twice more. An order of the thicker cuts of pork-belly, which came out like fancy not-salty bacon. Bright-red "spicy" (not very spicy) sweet juicy white-fish fillets, which cooked fast! Sweet tender "Hawaiian" bulgogi, which we spiced up with sauce from the buffet. More of those tasty garlic-shrimp. Probably a few more items that I'm not remembering right now. For dessert we got some little chocolate ice cream and fruit-flavor sherbet cups from the freezer by the buffet, and chose tiny wooden spoons just for fun, instead of the available silverware. We got fresh fruit and a slice of light cake with a light creamy layer on top. Then Mahlah overheard one of us say "birthday"! She laughingly scolded us for not telling her sooner, quickly came back with a large wonderful slice of delicious super-light cheesecake with a candle, and happily sang Happy Birthday with us! It felt like another friend had joined us! Luckily, one who remembered the cake :-) We ate for nearly two hours, until we couldnt eat any more! It was so much fun, and we chattered happily the whole time as we were adding to the grill or serving or sneaking tastes along the way :-). We thoroughly enjoyed our tasty flavorful generous meal. KPOT is a great fun place for fresh grill-it-yourself foods. There's five more KPOTs within 45min and several more within an hour. I had no idea! But this is the only location with Mahlah, our lovely friendly skillful server.

We tried out a combo meal of 6 with ribeye, sirloin, mainly beef. The servers also grilled and cut all the meats for us which is nice. All side dishes are pretty standard like most other Korean restaurants. A delicious bowl of steam eggs came with the meal, wish they would at least offer two bowls for a party of 6 and surprisingly no rice came with the combo. We had to add an extra order of steak and seafood pancake since no one was really full with the combo. I would say this place is for those who have high expectations of fresh & premium meats. You will not be stuff or over indulged because it can be quite pricey. Our bill with tips & taxes was about $55 per person. It's a bit pricey for lunch and I wasn't even full. If you never been to this restaurant before, I recommend that you try it out at least once but I don't think we will be back here anytime soon.
