Reviews for Hot Pot & BBQ Jax in Jacksonville, FL
This place is AWESOME! Went here first time after near by appointment and was glad I did. After waitress showed us what to do,... we became experts quickly. The experience was fun & the food was plentiful and fresh. The variety was more than you can think offrom pork, beef, seafood, veggies, noodles, bread sticks, dessert, etc.. You order your base soup & then enjoy adding all theitems you’ve picked yourself from the food bar & the rotating food bowls. It is really a great experience & the atmosphere isrelaxed where you can see others trying their own food combinations. You also cook your foods of choice on your own tablegrille, what they call the bbq portion of the buffet. You also mix your own seasonings from the food bar. Overall, we had awonderful first time & have been back often with the same pleasant experience. Read more
First time doing hot pot and BBQ but will not be my last. Mt son recommended it after going with friends and I want to go back... already. Huge variety of meat and cuts to choose from plus vegetables,oils and sauces. You can get hot pot or the BBQ package orboth. Highly recommend. Read more
I’m surprised that they had a lot of meat options- for only $31.99 you can get unlimited bbq and hot pot maximum stay for 2... hours. The conveyor belt makes the place so cool! And the fact that you cook your own bbq the way you want it is great!! Theyhave lots of sauce/broth options for hot pot!!The desserts however is limited ice cream options, the only ice cream i liked wasthe cookies and cream. The service is not the best but decent! Still 5 star for me because i loved the experience and meat wasdelicious!! Read more
Came in for lunch in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday. I got seated right away, I was alone though. I was very impressed... with the selection on the buffet. I’ve been to many hot pots and BBQ’s and none have had this selection. I especially likethe system in place for noodle and vegetable delivery. Staff is attentive and friendly. Brought my son through a couple weekslater and he loved it. Now he wants to come back every other weekend. Great location, I’ll keep coming back. Read more
I love Hot Pot! One of my favorite restaurants. ???? I liked how this one was setup. I have been to a few different hot pots and... this one was very unique! I loved the bowls that rotate on the counter allowing you to pick up sides while your sitting at yourtable. Read more
Heaven on earth. Mongolian grill meets Korean BBQ meets Hot Pot. Amazing time, accommodating and the waitress stayed on top of... our drinks and sides. About $32/person, kids get discount ranging from $11-$19. However they'll argue that and make you payadult prices. Kind of ridiculous, but it's a great experience and combination otherwise I would drop a star. You just don't messwith peoples money, either honor the pricing YOU SET or change it. But the host was great, the conveyor belt is a nice gimmickthat brings out different noodles and veggies. Nice, diverse selection of meats and seafood, great broth selection and ofcourse, ice cream. Would definitely recommend, just watch how they charge you. Read more
This restaurant is absolutely amazing, it was my first time and exceeded my expectations. The experience of cooking your own... food was pretty fun in itself. It’s a two hour limit and all you can eat, it’s worth every minute. The meats were marinatedperfectly, the seafood was fresh and good also. I tried the tom yum soup which had a great light herbal, citrus, and mild spicytaste to it. I fell in love and would go back just for the bulgogi and the spare ribs. The service is great also! Wouldrecommend if you’re in the area, it’s also worth the drive as well. Will definitely return! Read more
Went here as a special treat for our daughter's birthday. She had lived in Korea for over ten years and fondly remembered both... Korean barbecue restaurants and also hot pot restaurants, so this was very special to her. It was my first visit to an Americanversion of these restaurants so I didn't know what to expect. My first impression was awe at the counter top conveyor, I hadnever seen anything like it. I also was not aware that reservations would be recommended, even without a reservation the waitwas moderate, about 30 minutes. Once we were seated the service was excellent, the food was plentiful and delicious, the onlydrawback is you have to cook it yourself either on the grill or in the hot pot, soup style. The only real negatives was it waskind of noisy for a wearer of hearing aids, there was a lack of explanation as to how things worked, difficulties seeing whatwas in the containers on the conveyor and the price. The price is not necessarily expensive but it was expensive enough to beshocking having not been prepared for it. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience and a place to consider for a specialnight out. Read more
