Upin Hot Pot

Sun a fun experience! This was our first time here and the staff went out of their way to explain how it worked, did a little demo and made sure our first visit was excellent! Celebrating a birthday dinner, but opted not to alert them of that- the song is a bit unnerving, but its all in good fun. So many options price wise. We all chose the hot pot only which really includes quite a bit. Drink, appetizers, the best vegetables ever (mushrooms were my favorite) , meats, seafood, rice, noodles and so many other things all included in the price which was defintely a deal given the amounts of food you get. So many great options to go with your choice of broth (spicy and non-spicy)Order on the ipad and the little robot brings it out in no time. Staff is excellent and so very helpful and eager to show you how it works and so passionate about what they do.Vegetables are up at the self serve bar.Appetizers (little spring rolls, and other fried goods)Sauces galore- ask for Tigers sauce- which was the best.FruitKimchiCucumber salad to die for. So goodThe whole experience was fun, new and the best part being with loved ones and having the best time.Will certainly return!

Walking into this place, the immediate impression I had was that it was clean and modern. We were seated at a booth near the open food bar which was clearly dangerous. HOLD ONTO YOUR SEAT when you try the seaweed salad. It was so damn good. On top of the food being wonderful, every face we saw was a friendly one! Our server and other staff that came by the table were all smiley and helpful. Truly such cuties! The food was PLENTIFUL and diverse. We over ordered so we needed to pay an additional $10.99, which is totally reasonable. I was pleased as punch to get the AYCE hot pot AND sushi. Everything was delicious. I also enjoyed watching the K-pop music videos on the projector. It added a certain whimsy. If I come back in town, I will try to hit this place again.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday brunch and we had a great time. We were greeted and seated immediately!You order everything you want off an IPad which is nice with AYCE because you don't have to wait for a waiter to come to your table.They have a really great selection of broths, vegetables, meats, seafoods and sauces.There was nothing that I felt as if I was missing on the menu. We got the tom yum and miso broths! The tom yum was spicy and delicious and the miso didn't have a ton of flavor but i didn't really expect it too.Everything was brought out very quickly and they were good at coming up and picking up empty trays. The pork belly was delicious in the hot pot broth! The only thing we had that we ended up not loving was their spicy beef and their kimchi.Everything else was fresh and tasted great. The sushi wasn't my favorite (we only tried their nigiri, none of the rolls) but, my boyfriend really enjoyed it! He loved the red snapper. The sauce bar was extensive and i enjoyed that they put out fresh fruit for you to grab! I also really liked the thai tea that we got. It was more milky and mild than other thai teas i've had but it was nice to have with the oily, spicy hot pot.I think that for the price at lunch time, this is a great place to go and a great value! Especially if you're someone who can eat a lot.The decoration in the restaurant wasn't anything special but that didn't really bother me. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall i would definitely come here again.

This was our 4th time here. It's nice to have all you can eat hotpot in Brooklyn Park area now. Broth flavor was good and service friendly. Overall good experience. The sushi rolls were a little messy and not as good. The dishes that are limited to one plate are good (cannot remember name). One was a fish and the other was crawfish.

It was my first time at a Hot Pot place and it was a great experience! The restaurant was pretty busy, but I could tell right away how clean and organized it was. I would recommend ordering both Hot Pot and sushi so that you can taste of a wide variety of foods. The sushi was delicious! We ordered 4 rolls to share. I would recommend the shrimp tempura roll. The Hot Pot was also a fun experience. We cooked all the food in front of us and then created our own sauces. I tried a few variations of things from chicken, beef and even squid! The servers also were very attentive and helpful! I will be back!

This place is great!The fun combo of all you can eat hot pot and all you can eat sushi was enticing enough for us to stop in for a weeknight dinner. The establishment is super clean and modern on the inside, and there is excellent ventilation, fun music and those neat food robots. Our service was fantastic and SUPER fast. Our server was so sweet, smiley, attentive and helpful. The absolute best thing about this place is that all the ordering happens on a tablet right from your table. I LOVE this for AYCE so you never feel rushed and you never feel like the server is waiting on you to make a selection. The food options were even better than some other hot pot places I've been to -- our favorite was the peeled shrimp! The buffet area was very clean and well stocked. The sauce area was also cleanly and nicely labeled. I tried the sushi: some sashimi and 2 rolls. Our favorite was the upin roll. I didn't love the sashimi but it was ok. I was more focused on the hot pot. There's a ton of options for food and a nice amount of space for all customers. I'm not a hot pot expert yet, but I'll be back to try this place again!

This was a fun experience! You get two broths and you basically cook the food at your table by putting various things in the broth until they are ready. There are a lot of options for meats and vegetables. You can keep ordering more when you run out, which is nice. It was a little expensive, but it is all-you-can-eat, so I get it. We were charged a little more than the price that was on the display behind the counter, but with prices these days I can understand that as well. The broth and sauces al seemed to be at least a little spicy, but I am a wimp so don't let that deter you. The restaurant was bright and cheerful and the service was excellent.

This was a fun spot to try out considering its located close to home and that I don't have to drive to the cities for ayce hot pot. For soups, we chose the tom yum and pork bone broth. The tom yum was my preferred of the two but did not expect it to be spicy. There weren't spice indicators so they could've added that or let us know.The variety for food was actually cool to see and tried most of the hot pot meats, seafood, and vegetables. I also thought pairing hot pot with sushi was an interesting choice but I enjoyed it!In terms of service, we felt some of the serving sizes were inconsistent with both hot pot & sushi. We'd get the incorrect amount of sushi orders (paper menu mentions # of sashimi/sushi in an order). Otherwise they were really attentive! Hoping to continue going to Upin and try it with others.

They are super kind and work efficiently. I'm looking forward to going back. The food was pretty good and worth the price. The decor is great too.

First hot pot experience. We went to celebrate a birthday. The food selection was far more diverse than I thought it would be. The staff really seemed to care if we enjoyed the food and had a good time. It was great.
