Royal Hotpot Korean Bbq & Bar

We had a Party of nine , our reservation at 5:30 had us seated in a remote room with only two tables for ten each . No one was sitting in the other table so we had the room to ourselves . It was cozy and the seats were very comfortable chairs. A big screen tv up on the wall with a remote control for us to change the channel to our overall liking.The Waitress I didn't catch her name was very friendly and very helpful to those in our party unfamiliar with how either Korean BBQ or Hot Pot . Me and my wife started off ordering a sushi roll each She got the Naruto Roll I ordered the Godzilla.Me and my wife shared the summer Korean bbq special.It was quite the experience and quite delicious. Cooking your own food as you sit down is a fun ordeal for me. Seasoning and spicing up the meats mushrooms and vegetables as well as cooking the beef to one's own liking . It guarantees satisfaction .When we left there were sooo many people waiting to get in. Including a group of 20 waiting for the two tables in the private room.I hope to one day soon return to this place with another large group. Me and my wife will likely return with just her myself and our two kids before that happens though.Such a wonderful culinary experience.

The restaurant is beautiful with plenty of off-street parking. The service is good with the staff stopping by frequently to check on our table. The sauce bar has a huge selection and was kept clean.The menu is extensive and we decided to do the Korean BBQ. The combo didn't have options we would have wanted. The Banchan is pretty simple compared to Korean restaurants. The Korean fried chicken reminds me of a good Chinese crispy chicken wing with some sauce. The bulgogi and spicy marinated pork belly were my favorites. This place is a little pricey but is good to celebrate any occasion. Beautiful restaurant with solid food and great service.

They were closing and we were tired and hungry so I quickly chose the Palace Deluxe SetThe amount of food that came out was amazing. They gave us things for the Korean bbq and also hotpot along with bibimbap, tofu soup, sides, and egg soup (?). It was more than 3 of us can eat. I ate the vegan part with mushroom broth while my two lovely ladies enjoyed the meat and seafood. I can't comment on the meat but I loved the make your own sauce station and the mushroom broth. Our server was incredibly nice and helped us cook most of meal. Overall great dining experience!

The service was very quick and ambiance was great-very fancy and high tech. I liked how the hot pot can be raised so you can see all your toppings inside. However, meat platter was very small in portion size and price was a little too high.

The staff was very friendly and quickly sat usbon a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and I like the effort they put in to their decor. We tried all three options of hot pot, kbbq, and sushi. It's such a nice concept to be able to do kbbq and hotpot at the same time. For the hotpot you are also able to choose 4 different soup base. I especially enjoyed the option to lift the food in the hotpot so it is easier to reach. Everything we ordered, the veggies, meat, seafood, sushi were all very fresh. It was also a very fun experience to see the smoke coming out of their beautiful plating. Would definitely go back here whenever I am craving hotpot/kbbq/sushi at the same time.

Our party of 4 ordered the chef's favorite set for $138. It came with a bunch of things for hotpot and the kbbq grill. The combo included things such as beef bibimbap, kimchi stew, corn cheese plate, and various meats and veggies for both hotpot and bbq. The korean dishes were ok, but definitely didn't taste like authentic Korean that you can get in Allston. The meats and veggies came in beautiful presentation with dry ice smoke and cool displays. Our waitress was very attentive and the plates were cleared from our table in a timely manner. The best part is that the table has a button for hotpot portion to lift so you don't have to go digging for your food. The decor is very well done and it's clean, so it's a great place for special date night, but it's not a place that I can picture myself going too often because of the pretty steep prices.

Took myself down to Quincy to try Royal for the KBBQ! First of all, the place is huge... you are stepping into the palace of feasting. It was 2pm on a saturday and it was pretty dead but i guess it is more of an evening event. Service no surprise was smooth and I didn't have many questions since I've done this before. Get ready to spend because this spot is definitely pricey. They have combo sets that start at $100 but are only good if you want hot pot & kbbq and the meat choices given for the kbbq are not great... whose wants chicken for a KBBQ we want beef and pork! So we ended up just doing it a la carte style.Thinking about it now I just realized we could have done the combo and just cooked the hot pot meat on the skillet but alas didn't think that through. When doing a la carte you get to $100 very quickly but at least we got to get what we really wanted. My friend was the cook so she was doing her thing on the grill which also accommodates the hot pot but felt kind of small. Meat is meat and all in all yummy... I can't complain. They also do karaoke in the space attached which would be nice for a night where you want to do something fun but don't want to go out. Personally I don't think it's worth the visit to go to Quincy but glad I tried it. I will stick to my kbbq spots here in the city.Price $$Food 6Atmosphere 9Service 7What we atePork Tofu SoupHoney Garlic Boneless short ribThinly sliced brisketVeggie Combo

Had been to Royal once before back in 2018. Sadly it was a one star wonder and the entire experience was disappointing & lackluster at best. However now...I stand corrected and thus rewarding them with the five stars they so richly deserve. A visit to their IG page is what drew me in to give Royal another chance. That & of course the endless persuasion from my girlfriend who loves a nice Hot Pot place & IG worthy food content. I can confidently say that Royal delivered in abundance, quality food with exceptional service in an atmosphere best described as aesthetically pleasing. The special added treat for us was... their also wide selection of marinated meats for Korean bbq!For their menu, they offer a variety of options along with some very diversely put together Hot Pot & BBQ combinations for you to experience the best of both worlds. Highly recommended & extremely reasonably priced for the sheer amount of food provided. Pick your broth, choose your meats and simply enjoy & have a wonderful time. If not those options, they also have an array of sushi options and entrees for you to choose from. Thank you Royal for the wonderful experience. We will most certainly be back. #redemption #redeemed Thank you Royal
