Have it another try and had a much better experience. The food was quick when you order from the tablet. There are a range of choices for $36pp on dinner/weekend menu. The place was clean and attracted many young people but also families for the shabu shabu experience. Food was fresh. If you don't want to order off the tablet they also during busy times have a conveyor belt of dishes. You can pull off and cook if you see something that you like most of the items on the conveyor about were vegetables or noodle items instead of meats and seafood.

Hot pot is always super fun for group dinners :) I had the split pot with the original and tom yum soups, both were delicious and gave all the toppings so much flavor. The staff were very attentive and quick to answer our questions. I also appreciated the sauce recipes at the sauce station, since a lot of times I don't know what I'm doing when I make my sauce lol. For dessert I had the cake, and it came with coconut frosting. It was surprisingly decent, considering I would never consider a hot pot place having cake for dessert. I'd definitely recommend Urban if you're looking for a fun group dinner experience and going for a walk afterwards in the Mosaic area.

Stopped here for lunch on the weekend. The amount of food you can order and eat in 90 mins makes this place worth the $35 cost for ACYE (all you can eat). We also came on the weekend so the premium option was included, but i believe you have to pay extra for that option on the week day. We just got a bunch of meat, veggies, meat, shrooms, meat, fish balls, and dare i say... more meat. There is a variety of soup base you can pick and a sauce bar where you can make your own dipping sauce. Service was quick and fast. We sat near the conveyer belt, which rotates a variety of items. But typically, you order what you want through the iPad and they bring it out to you super quickly. Sometimes they will use the robot as well to deliver some items. Definitely ate our fill. Place had plenty do tables and everyone gets their own mini hot pot so that was cute. This location was at the Mosaic so you can park along the street if you are lucky or find a spot in the garage. Place is worth checking out

So many dips and things to choose from! I go for lunch so it's a bit cheaper. They have lots of desserts, side dishes, meats, seafood, and carb to choose from. Perfect for a meal with friends or family. They also have really good crawfish!!! Service was quick especially when they used the cute robot to deliver some items !

This all you can eat hot pot is definitely a top favorite of mine in the area. The various broths are flavorful and they have a great sauce bar. The meat and veggie options are great and you order through an iPad which makes it very convenient. Staff and restaurant are also delightful, making it an enjoyable experience.

I've been here many times and it's a solid location. I wish they made use of the old conveyer belt more but I like their speed and iPad ordering system. The staff are always pleasant. I would like more fatty beef cuts. However, they have a great beef tongue, larger dumplings. A great sauce bar and fantastic sage desserts.

Oh my gosh I love this place. The food is all amazing and I love that it's all you can eat (well in 90 min) and is a good price. I don't think I've had anything bad there the few times I've gone with friends. I love that you can order from the tablet at the table when you want and that you can create your own sauces at their sauce bar. The staff is always really nice and the restaurant itself is cozy. Highly recommend.

Great food, quick service, nothing really to complain about. Everything was great. Meat was amazing. Did not feel rushed even going slightly over time.

I love eating hotpot and this spot is in my top 3. They are a more modernized take on hotpot with an all-you-can-eat personal hotpot rather than one big family style. Great sauce bar with a good amount of different options to make your own custom dipping sauce. Ordering is done on an iPad/tablet which makes it very convenient to order more items or call for service while you eat. If you are coming here really hungry during dinner time, make sure to put in a reservation. Even on weekdays they seem to be a bit busy. My only complaint would probably be on seating areas. Especially with larger parties the booth-like seatings are hard to get in and out of especially if you're seated against the wall. The two people seating is much more comfortable and there is a conveyor belt in the middle of the store circling out different menu items while you eat so you can just grab from your seat.

My favorite spot in NOVA for hot pot hands down. I always leave here satisfied by the food. It does get very busy during weekends/evenings and this place doesn't take reservations. So be prepared to wait. It's AYCE for $35/person for dinner. You order on the ipad and the food comes out quick! There's also a conveyor belt that has food items to grab. I love their sauce bar with lots of homemade or build your own concoctions. I also ALWAYS get the tom yum broth every time and it always hits. Service is hit or miss. You would most likely not have much interaction with staff bc everything is done through the ipad. They do come by often to clear plates though. I have noticed that portions are a lot less this last time i have visited. For example; i placed 2 orders of head on shrimps and a total of 3 shrimps came out... I understand the need to stop food waste but FYI.

It was a Saturday dinner and good thing I went early because by the end of my meal, this place got packed. The service, the food, the atmosphere at Trio is all phenomenal. My server Edlow provided excellent service as well as the rest of the Trio team. I tried the bison steak, and my wife got the beef bolognese pasta. The bison has cumin as a seasoning so it may taste a bit spicy, but it wasn't overwhelming. We also tried several sides as well. All the food here was delicious. My server brought us champagne and ginger ale on the house as well as a dessert to celebrate our special occasion. There was a live pianist filling the place with a jazzy vibe. The interior was clean and on the cooler side. There is a large bar area with seating there. Outdoor seating is also available. I will definitely be back in the future.

For $52 you are getting into the realm of Capital Grille, Randys which I think have better flavor Crab Cakes - Good amount of crab...the son really enjoyed it. Fries were spot on. Overall giving 3.5 stars...Food is good but perhaps we were expecting more with the 4.5 rating on Yelp.

I really enjoyed my meal! The preparation of the fish was perfect. The skin was crispy, lightly seasoned just like in Greece. It's the closest thing to Greek food I've had here, at least in regards to the dish. The lamb shank was alright aromas and flavor could've been a little stronger for the red sauce. I was also happy that none of the seafood had a fishy taste to it. They also deboned the branzino. The fish also had a lot of meat so I felt as though I got my moneys worth. As for the grilled octopus it was a little tough in the fatty areas, but overall the flavor and quality was great! The feta psiti was so so, I had it in Greece and it wasn't even close. The dough was a square and it wasn't flaky and delicious like I had. We ordered: Apps Grilled octopus 9/10 Feta Psiti 6/10 Imported Branzino 10/10 Lamb shank over orzo 8/10 Overall, I'd come back 100%. The service was great, fast, cleaned up the areas and dishes well, and informative.

Sorry I don't have photos of everything. The food, service and ambiance were all excellent. I loved the open and airy feel of the restaurant with the big windows and great sunlight. This is the 2nd location I have been to and so far this one is my favorite. Parking is a little wonky as the town gets pretty busy during prime dining hours. You can find street parking if you're patient. All in all, I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy this super-delicious and authentic, greek food all the time.

Do not come expecting a solid seafood dinner. We came here after a nearby event. There was live music in the very sizable back lot area. People were actually up and dancing and having a great time. The vibes were stellar. I don't know if I would be into tbis place in the winter if I had to eat inside because the inside is kind of dingey, but outside in the summer is pretty paradisiacal. I did notice that they were doing karaoke in a weird little side room and it did not seem crowded on a Saturday night so that might be worth checking out. Servers were also all super nice. Pretty sure we entered the wrong way and kind of just let ourselves in through the back lot area and then we had no idea where to go to find a host(ess). So we asked the first server we could find where to go and she went "oh I can seat you" and grabbed two menus. Excellent. She also gave us our choice of wherever. The place is huge. Our assigned server was also nice and really knew the menu, which is not small. The menu had a ton of options including some really interesting tofu options and I had a hard time picking so I got excited. Also very customizable where you can choose your preparation. The beer list was not exactly artisinal...a lot of like...michelob ultra. And they had those island slushy kind of drinks. So at first I was like...this is my new weekend hangout. Then our drinks came. They were small and in little plastic cups. Wuhoh. Then our food came. I should have known it wouldn't be fresh. The price wasa little *too* good. When I asked about the catch of the day it was like four different things. I ended up with a buffalo grouper sandwich (grouper was one of the four things). I have had a fresh buffalo grouper sandwich in Clearwater before and that was in 2019 and I still remember it 7 years later. This buffalo grouper sandwich? Oh no. First of all it was this thin, flat battered fried cutlet thing. The breading absorbed the buffalo sauce so I couldn't taste it very much though they did bring me a lot of Bleu cheese dressing. The fish was bad. I bit into it and it tasted fishy and it was dry. Honestly if I hadn't been super hungry I would have just not eaten it. On top of that, I paid an extra dollar to upgrade from fries to hushpuppies. These were legit hushpuppies, but hushpuppies are small and how many did they bring me? 5. Are you kidding? Again, in Florida these are brought free by the basket. They're literally just fried up balls of corn meal. I think that may have offended me more than the bad fish. My husband went witb BBQ pulled chicken and fries and said both were good. So. Here are my thoughts. Would I come here again in the summer for fun vibes and good service? Yes. Would I set low expectations for my food and drink? Yes. Would I probably just order a softdrink and stick to something simple they can't screw up like a quesadilla and fries? Yeeeeeeeah.

Nue was the fine dining recommendation, and I have to say it was a great introduction to Vietnamese cuisine. As far as parking, there is a garage within walking distance of the stores and restaurants, so parking was pretty convenient. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed. It was dimly lit, spacious, and had a really nice atmosphere. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable about the menu and offered some great suggestions, which was especially helpful since I wasn't very familiar with Vietnamese food. The menu was pretty expansive, and I have to say some of the cocktail descriptions immediately caught my attention. I tried the Lychee Sunset Fizz, made with Hornitos Blanco Tequila, lychee liqueur and lychee, calamansi, yuzu and grenadine. I tend to go for sweeter drinks so this was a nice balance. For food, the Seafood Chả Giò was one of my favorites. It had wild Gulf shrimp, lump crab, Berkshire pork, taro, carrots and fresh herbs. It definitely seems to be one of their headlining items because it was something I noticed quite a few people ordering, and I can see why. But my absolute favorite was the Snow Crab Fried Rice. It had hand-pulled snow crab, shrimp, shallots, eggs and oyster mushrooms, and it was so flavorful and filling. Honestly, I regretted not ordering another portion to take home because I would have happily eaten it again later. All in all, I would definitely return to Nue to try some of the other items on the menu. I'm definitely not finished with my Vietnamese food journey yet, but this was a really great stop along the way. If the Snow Crab Fried Rice is any indication of what's still waiting for me on the menu, I have plenty more to explore.

It had an incredible combination of black beans, charred corn kernels, feta cheese, and a flavorful kick from the chili aioli. It is the best avocado toast we've ever had! We also tried the salmon avocado toast and added two eggs, and it was delicious as well. The capers and combination of ingredients worked beautifully together. What really makes the avocado toast special is the bread. It is grilled until incredibly crunchy and perfectly toasted. They really know how to build an avocado toast, from the crisp, grilled bread to the creamy avocado, chili aioli, feta, and other flavorful toppings. Every bite has great texture and complexity. The steak and eggs were good, too. The steak was grilled to a perfect temperature and had a simple but flavorful seasoning of salt. The challah French toast was delicious--the French toast flavor was infused all the way through the bread, making every bite flavorful. The crispy corn flakes, macerated berries, and citrus cream on top added wonderful texture and extra complexity. We also love the complimentary popcorn. It is super tasty and a fun snack to enjoy while waiting for the food. The Cobb salad is another delicious choice. Everything tastes fresh, and the grilled chicken makes it hearty and filling. The grilled shrimp salad was also very good, with cashews, edamame, and jicama. The chili bowl is another good option if you're looking for something hearty. For lunch or dinner, try the filet tip pasta. It has a delicious lime flavor and is very tasty. The salmon with warm salad is another good choice. The coffee is good if you like a bold cup. And for dessert, the bread pudding is a perfect finish. It comes in a small muffin-sized portion topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint garnish. There are so many good choices here, and everything we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We've had consistently good experiences here and look forward to coming back!

Drinks from the bar took quite a while to arrive, and there was also a long wait for our food to come out of the kitchen. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were definitely the highlight of my meal--hot, sizzling, nicely grilled, and very flavorful. Others in our group also enjoyed the generous portions of wings, fresh salads, and the jambalaya, so the food overall was very good. The restaurant has a fun, energetic vibe, but it was so loud that it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. One other downside was parking. The lot is fairly small and shared with three different restaurants, so finding a spot was frustrating. I'd come back because the food was good and the staff was genuinely friendly, but I'd hope for faster service and a better parking experience next time.
