Large restaurant, very clean & great service. Price is the same for hotpot or BBQ. A bit more if you want both. We opted for the hotpot. Will try the BBQ next time because there are more meat options – already marinated or plain. It’s a buffet style, you take what you want to cook at your table. No need to order from the waitress, unlike most other hotpot/BBQ place. The sauce bar has many options. We thoroughly enjoyed our big lunch. 2 thumbs up!

Great place! You don’t have to wait on a waiter or waitress to bring your selections. You pick your own from the bar. There are meats, seafood, and vegetarian options. So you can make your meal what you want it to be. Some of the meat options are already seasoned for you. Nice environment all around.

I have to say this Korean BBQ,Hot Pot experience was more than I was expecting. If you’re having company from out of town this should be a destination spot for a fun and filling meal. As soon as you walk in there are so many cool things to look at. From the cotton candy machine in the lobby (I’ve seen them in videos and tictok) to the color changing clouds all over the ceiling Burnin 99 is a feast for the eyes as well as the belly. Very family friendly, your kids will definitely be entertained. I think this would make a great 1st date spot. Really you can’t go wrong. Now for the food! Very nice selection of meats, seafood and fresh veggies as well as deserts. Some of the meats are seasoned and were really good as well as unseasoned that you can add your own twist with a sauce you create at the Sauce Bar(has to be every classic Korean sauce you could want). Seafood includes crab legs, scallops, calamari salmon and more. The service was great. Thanks Alex you did a great job. The owner came around and talked with us a bit, very pleasant man. Clean, plenty of parking. Had a great time talking with my daughter as she instructed me in the ways of Korean BBQ. I’ll definitely be back to hone my skills . Can’t wait to bring my out of town family. Our meals were $32.99 each

This place was really delicious. We both had soup and BBQ. The soup ingredient options were fresh and plentiful. The same goes for the meat options (see pictures). Everything was well worth the price! If you get an opportunity you should really try this place. It was a delicious experience!

My husband and I laughed our heads off reading the one star reviews and knew that we absolutely needed to try this place that we have been looking forward to since before it opened. As expected, this place is five stars…especially if you understand the design and intent of this restaurant. We love choosing and cooking our own food. The staff were polite, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful every step of the way. The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and comfortable. The food bars were organized, well-labeled, and kept in very sanitary conditions with fresh food that looked enticing (and proved to be with good reason).
LULU IS THE BEST! Our waitress was not only super sweet and helpful, she made the BEST sauce to help us get started. (We didn’t even have to ask. It appeared on our table while we were up though she came by in one of her many times to check on us to explain it and even offered to show us how to make more so we would know the ratios of each ingredient.) Other staff checked on us as well and were available for questions and quick to anticipate any need (like for extra napkins).
This was such a special Christmas Day treat for us! (Especially since we had something similar on our honeymoon.) It is a special place with a lot of very nice (usually expensive meats and foods) that are high quality and that is all you can eat, so it can’t be cheap prices. The fun of cooking your own food can be new, but my suggestion is to keep it simple at first, try small and follow their directions! (And still branch out and try a small amount of new as well! It’s good for you!)
Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant for a fun experience and adventure in addition to delicious food!
I can’t wait to go back! See you there!

It’s an interactive unique experience similar to melting pot fondue restaurants. Way better and less expensive. My first time to Columbia location was amazing. Fresh tasting seafood and delicious meats. Also endless combinations for meatless peoples. 5 different kinds of mushrooms . It was entertaining and delicious. Highly recommend

Celebrated my birthday dinner there on July 4, 2024. The new manager Mike was personable and informative. Each night of the week, they offer a different special. You have the choice of K-bbq and hotpot, or one or the other. We got Korean BBQ. It was very fresh and all you could eat. Our server was Phillip, and he was the BEST. He customized a few sauces for us that were very tasty. Our faves were the butter shrimp, sliced sausages, and short ribs. They had crab legs, crawfish, prawns, chicken cutlets, and so much more. It is all you can eat, drink, and include dessert.

Great food, atmosphere,and service! They had crab legs, blue crab, shrimp, shell fish, steak, chicken to many ways to name. We got both grill and hot pot but next time we will get one or the other. Mike- the New General Manager was entertaining and informative. Tina- our waitress was always there to help! Give them a try, you won’t regret it!!

This was my first time here and it did not disappoint. The meat was perfectly seasoned, the atmosphere was amazing, our server (Kevin) was super sweet and even made us a dipping sauce. It was just an overall fun experience. The price is not bad at all for what all is included. Can’t wait to go back! ♡

This place was a huge disappointment. We had been to both hot pot and korean BBQ places before, and this place pales in comparison. This time, we only did the BBQ. The cuts of meat were horrible (fatty, stringy, chewy) and the fruit/desserts were not fresh. I even found a hair on one of my orange slices. Our waitress didn’t do the best job explaining things to us and left us confused/unsure what to do a few times during our meal. We were both shocked that this place is rated a 4.7 after we ate here. Maybe the hot pot here is better, but I don’t think we will ever come back to try it.
