Hot Pot 757 & Korean BBQ

Be ready to eat. This is not a lite dinner. Try weekdays is cheaper and same choices. It may take a little bit to get the right dipping sauce. Experiment it is fun. Enjoy.

I truly enjoy this place especially if I am with the family. It was a party of seven celebrating my Son-in-law's birthday. The kids wanted Hot Pot and so did my daughter and I. Both my husband and son-in-law added the Korean B-B-Q as well. Everything was so fresh and clean. The selections for both options are endless. There is something for every palate. Our server was friendly and definitely made sure we lacked nothing. She was consistently checking on us to ensure our orders were placed and received timely. I only have one suggestion. I wish they had a few options of premade sauces. I know everyone has different tastes but a few basics would help someone like me who is just starting out.

If this is your first time experiencing this type of restaurant, it may be somewhat overwhelming. The restaurant was packed but we seemed to grab the last table before there was a wait. The waiter was prompt and friendly, she asked if it was my first time and was helpful with explaining the process or ordering and service. After placing the first order, the food took about 15-20 minutes to arrive at our table. The was an issue with a couple missing items but they were eventually taken care of after about another 15 minutes. The restaurant was okay, nothing really pleasing to brag about but it gave date night vibes as far as the lighting was concerned. The food. The food was plentiful and there's plenty to choose from. Overall I had a great time and I enjoyed myself. The only drawback I have is that there really isn't any seasoning with the food so be warned. There is a food bar where you can get sauces and other items to add to your flavor pallet but that's about it. I definitely think it's worth the experience especially if you're a fan of Asian cuisine. I will definitely come back and try it again.

I don't usually have a bad experience with places I pick for date night but this one left me and my husband so disappointed. I'll start with what's ok first. The place is clean and the ambiance is definitely more of a Chinese influence so the Korean bbq threw me off a bit. I'm not a real fan of the whole serving hot pot and kbbq because the restaurant ends up being mediocre at both. Also, our service was great. Our server did a phenomenal job. Everyone was nice and friendly... The restaurant is not delivering the food. Their banchan choices were so limited it set the mood for me. Its a salad bar pretty much to make sauces more so for hot pot than to grab side dishes for kbbq. Meats... everything tasted the same and were not good. Not sure what was going on here. If you're a kbbq or hotpot, have good quality meats. It makes a difference. Here is the part that bothered me... We were sat at a table the looks directly into the kitchen. A rolling trash can was visible and we could see someone spitting into the trash over and over while we were eating. I'm pretty sure it was someone who handles food also. I pretty much lost my appetite. kbbq is a favorite dining experience for my husband and I. We can be pretty picky when it comes to kbbq and have certain expectations. However, this place is subpar for kbbq. I can't speak for hotpot here because we did not have hotpot. Service here is fine. Staff and everyone is friendly... their problem is the lack of banchan, meat flavor/quality and watching someone spitting constantly during dinner. I won't be back here.

We came in hoping to try this place since it was recommended by a friend's family and our first choice for dinner was already closed. The server was amazing!He explained how everything went with the options and was attentive through out our dinner. However, the food was not very good. The chicken was bland and the sauce options were too spicy for my daughter to add to her hot pot broth. To start with, I had the hot pot: shrimp,sweet potatoes , and shiitake mushrooms and the rest of family had beef brisket and chicken to cook. I should have stopped with the hot pot. The shiitake mushrooms had a weird texture after cooking it ( almost rubbery). I figured I needed to cook it longer, but my husband agreed and didn't eat it either even after cooking it longer. I tried the bbq and got the short ribs and was disappointed. I was expecting the teriyaki flavored meat (kalbi ribs) from most Korean bbq places and it was sub par. I also had tried the crab legs at the salad bar and they were just okay and cold. My daughter had grabbed some "fresh"fruits at the salad bar station, but the watermelon slice she said "was not sweet --old,like it had been sitting out for a while." We all ended up coming home with an uncomfortable bloated feeling. We can say we got to experience the hot pot and bbq, but unfortunately in a negative way. This will be a one and DONE for us.

The food that I tried for the Korean BBQ was yummy (beef bulgogi, garlic shrimp, and pork belly)! The Hot Pot as well. You get the option of Korean BBQ, Hot Pot, or Both in an All-You-Can-Eat format for one price. We first started with getting our own sauces that we wanted to add to the Hot Pot or to the food in general. My mixture consisted of Teriyaki and Hoisin sauce together. We also got ramen with our Hot Pot. They have original and spicy flavors. I added shrimp dumplings and lobster balls to my Hot Pot. You can also add any veggies. When then started the Korean BBQ portion of the meal. If you have never been to a Korean BBQ place before, be prepared to cook your own food. I initially was intimidated but I was with friends that went before. The beef bulgogi was flavorful and tender. The garlic shrimp comes with the tail-on. But that's easily removed. The pork belly was plain and didn't have any sauces on it so it was a little tough and bland to me. We also got sides of white rice. The service this time was not the best. Our server didn't come by as often to check on us. We almost had to hunt him down just so we could pay and leave. Generally, this isn't an issue and hopefully a one time thing.

I'm quite dissapointed with this Hot Pot 757 location. I have been to the one in Chesapeake which wasn't that bad. First, the food... all the beef and any type of meat were extremely fatty and of cheap quality. I do not suggest doing the BBQ at all. Their broth were not that flavorful. The only good food items they had were the shrimps. As far as service, it was nonexistent. I had to ask another server to get us some water because our server didn't bring us any. We ordered once for the first round and our server didn't come back until 20 minutes later leaving our grill completely burnt and our broth without any food. The place overall is decorated well but the floors were very grimy. Overall, I do not recommend coming here. I will definitely not be back.

Once it is 5pm, GET ON THE WAITLIST on yelp! My fiancé and I got on the waitlist when we left our apartment, and it's a 20 minute drive to get to the restaurant. We got there and had to wait for 25 more minutes. Once we sat down, we got to order our broth, meats, and veggies. Pros: Their sauce bar is amazing, and they have a variety of meats, veggies, and noodles. Their sauce bar is amazing. It is all you can eat. You can get hot pot deal, or kbbq deal, or both for just 3 more dollars.Cons: If you sit in a nook room on the side, they put away the dirty dish there. I know the staff is trying to clean up as soon as they can, so that they can sit more people, but it's very loud when they clean the pile of dirty dishes, and I couldn't hear what my fiancé was saying 3 times for 10 minutes. Also, it was pretty clear that we were getting full, and we only had 1 plate left of vegetables left to finish, and our waitress didn't come to our table for 40 minutes.They have their own parking lot, and they also have a big waiting area.

The one thing I do not tolerate is disrespect! A tip was added to my bill. I asked the manager to remove it because I want to give the young lady more than a six dollar tip. I literally want to give her 20. She was very helpful and kind. The manager told me if I don't like it for me to eat someplace else and don't come back, I informed her that was the most inappropriate comment she can make to any customer! Instead of her, asking me whether there are any issues or problems with the service, which there was none I was even considering returning, but since I encounter the rudeness of the manager, I will not be returning back tot he establishment.

Crazy expensive! Service horrible! It's a great idea but we will not be going back.
