Top Pot KBBQ - Jacksonville

If you want to get a seat, make sure you arrive when they open their doors as it gets really crowded. It was our first hot pot experience and our waitress was kind to let us know what each section had to offer. We decided to go for the Bbq & hot pot. Hot pot had several broths to choose from. I chose the Tom yum. It had the right amount of spice. Not too overpowering where I could enjoy. A wide selection of raw meats to add to your broth or to cook on the skillet. Everything I chose had so much flavor! A whole row dedicated to pretty desserts on display but, unfortunately, by that time I was pretty stuffed and had zero room for anything else.Would I go here again? Definitely We all enjoyed our first hot pot experience

First time coming here with my parents and definitely won't be the last!!!Super friendly service, high quality meats and hot foods, and clean and spacious ambience. How it works is Korean BBQ is $30 and Hot Pot if $35 per person. ALL YOU CAN EAT. You pick your meats, veggies, and choices of hot foods such as fried wontons and fried rice plus other options. They also have desserts included. The drinks are the only thing not included within the price. For me the quality of the meats you select is very good including prime rib, top sirloin, bacon, chicken breast, shrimp, salmon, and more! The Hot Pot Section is much larger with more choices if you like soups this is your go to. Highly recommend for anyone including family, friends, or a date night! ^.^

As far as the restaurant (the literal building) itself, no complaints, nothing special but nothing terrible. Very acceptable to say the least. When it comes to the service it was very good, refills were on time and the server was polite. She changed the grill when necessary and removed all finished dishes and trash very timely! Now seeing how it is a kbb and you cook the food yourself the basics of a clean building and good service is nothing to give extra points about. Now the most important part, the food. When you have a bill of 90$ between 2 people me personally was VERY DISAPPOINTED in the quality of food. Specifically the MEATS. The steak was not the ordinary cut and led to major disappointment. Every meat was bland n so flavorless no matter how i tried to make it or add flavor. Its a big slap in the face to spend that much and feel like im eating the meats that dont make it to the shelfs of a store. I cant even put into words how terrible the meat was. They did have a small already cooked selection of food consisting of fried chicken, fries, pork dumplings, egg rolls ect. That was nice to see from a kbb spot for the first time but honestly i wasn't too interested due to the dissatisfaction of the rest of the food. The soup was very bland. I ordered the spicy broth and it literally tasted like water with spicy oil in it and that's it. I would NOT recommend doing the bbq and soup at all. Only the bbq which still was also bland and terrible. As for the veggie selection it was 100% acceptable, looked very fresh and was definitely nothing i could complain about there. They do have a larger selection of desserts which i was impressed with including fruits, pastry items, and personal cups of ice cream! Overall i could never see myself going back even for free. You couldn't pay me $1000 to and i am not exaggerating. I'm now out of $90 and am going to McDonalds....

The food choices were fresh and so many to choose from!Plus the sever are most helpful and kind and friendly!

Found this place after my fiancé and I were tired of the other one in beach blvd since we had to make sauces together to make certain meat taste great vs when we found Top Pot and tasted the variety of meat they had we were surprise that we didn't have to season it at all! Everything they had for BBQ was seasoned to perfection. As well the servers we've had Yang and Leo were always a pleasure to have ! Making sure we are good to checking on our grill and changing it out for us. We've went multiple occasion with our colleagues as well with eachother as a date night which we always find the pleasure of going since nothing can ever go wrong here ! I'm glad they carpeted their floor though the hardwood they had before was very slippery . We've also tried their cocktail menu which I like their blue Hawaii drink ‍ it was refreshing, but my fiancé drink on the other hand was a bit strong way to strong lol.... She had a tequila sunrise and what you could of taste was more tequila than being able to taste the splash of grenadine as well orange juice that is used to create that effect. Maybe the measurement was a bit in accurate when pouring but it is fine though! We still enjoyed our drinks :))!! We cannot wait to go back and have a splendid time!!!

When you've been to the country that actually serves authentic classic food. It's hard to find one here in the States that can actually matched it. So far this place in Orange park is good. The only thing I don't like is their buffet style of getting your own ingredients. Food is good though. Service is friendly and always there when you need something. The place is one of those modern style fusion Asian restaurants. They even have a robot server that comes to o your table if you're celebrating something like birthday.

This was our first time here and the wait time was a bit excessive but overall it was OK. Not a lot of places to sit while you wait so sitting outside can be very hot.I think with regard to Service, it would be beneficial if the server would explain the process a little bit more clearly and what should be done. I had been to a place like this 15 years ago when I lived in California, and my friend had never been to one. I did not realize that they had the sauces, for example on the side, which would've made a tremendous difference for the chicken! Overall, the experience was ok but if you don't like being in a place with lots of heat from the grill and the steam from the soup bowl in front of you this place is not for you. . It was exceptionally hot and we were sweating as much as the weight staff who hustle and bustle big time.Overall, for the two of us, the bill was $90, which was a little excessive for what we received and what we understood. Should I go again? I would look at it differently and probably not do nearly as much of the soup.

The food is good- depending on your ability to cook... This place is all you can eat so you are going to pay a premium to do so. But you cook it yourself and you're limited 120 min. My first plate of food was pretty bland - I had NO IDEA of what was where and how to carry it back to the table. Now the second time I went to the buffet; I figured out where everything was and where to place it...so everything was MUCH more tasty! The restaurant is clean the staff if friendly and helpful. But if you're out to eat and be served, you might want to reconsider. Like I said; you're going to pay a premium...

This place exceeded my expectations! Let's start with the positive... The broths were amazing! Probably the most flavorful I've had at a hot pot. I had the bone broth. It was so rich and full of flavor. Halfway through I added some chili oil for a little spice which gave it even more depth. My boyfriend got the spicy broth option. Medium and he loved it but definitely don't get it if you don't like spice. He's Indian and can handle spice well. He said medium was perfect for him but he would NOT go any hotter. It definitely had a good kick Next the food: GREAT verity! From the meat to the seafood to the veggies they had ample fresh options for the picking. The hard part was narrowing it down. The food options were fresh and flavorful. The red meat melted in your mouth and the fish was fresh and bot fishy at all!The service was amazing! Very attentive and plenty of broth refills and new grill plates when needed. The bad... acoustics were not good. It was loud. Bathrooms weren't the cleanest and could use some updates. Last I would skip the precooked food. Looked greasy and overcooked and not fresh but why would you need it when you have all the fresh ingredients

Very good! Only downside was they apparently forgot about our table so we were waiting for like 20 mins before our waitress finally came to the table but other than that, food was excellent. Would come back.
