It was our families first time there. The food and service was awesome!!! Just ask questions so you know what you're ordering and ordering correctly. (For pot and or bbq) They will be very helpful. We did spend more per person because we also bought several drinks for our group/party. (6 in our party this evening)

To all that read my reviews you now how important...... Great....CUSTOMER SERVICE, QUALITY FOOD, In a CLEAN environment MEANS TO ME !!!! The ratings I gave were low. Because for the money I spent !!!! I EXPECTED MORE !!!! I walked into the restaurant and the customer service was NOT WELCOMING the decor was dated and unkept. They have a bar. But they do NOT sell mix drinks just Soon Hari and Corona's. And non - alcohol mix drinks and smoothies . Were we sat the seats were stained and had tears. They give you an appetizer size plate for you to use to eat your meal And utensils to cook your food and a fork and chopsticks to eat with ( NO KNIFE NO SPOON you have to ask your sever if would like either. ) You order your food off an iPad menu. You can do HOT POT OR LIKE A HIBACHI TYPE OF GRILL or you can do both!! (Prices varies on what you pick.) Ohhh... And we were told DO NOT OVER ORDER your selection. Because if you do you will have to pay for the overage!!! (Don't worry there is a sticker on the iPad to remind you in case you forget!!) There is a separate season and sauce area for you to pick what kind of style you want to cook your food. ( Again that area was VERY

My assistant pastor and I were on the hunt for something that would truly buzz our taste buds—something hearty, flavorful, and worth talking about. That’s how we stumbled upon BBQ & HOT POT in Bolingbrook, and what an incredible find it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly atmosphere and the sizzling aroma of freshly grilled meats. The all-you-can-eat barbecue selection was beyond satisfying—everything from tender beef and seasoned pork to fresh seafood and crisp vegetables, all beautifully arranged and ready for the grill. The experience of cooking our own food right at the table added a fun and engaging touch. The hot pot section was equally impressive, offering rich broths and a wide range of add-ins that made each bite uniquely delicious. Every sauce we tried seemed to elevate the flavor to another level. The staff were attentive, quick to clear plates, and always checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The place was clean, well-organized, and the energy was vibrant yet relaxed—a perfect spot for good conversation and laughter. If you’re looking for a restaurant that combines great taste, great value, and great vibes, B

Regular Price for AYCE Korean BBQ (Dinner, Weekends, Holidays) is now $32.99/person as of 9/28/2025. To be honest, I had low expectations going in due to the mixed reviews, but overall it was a pretty great experience. Some of their meats were actually great. Best / what to order: - Short Ribs → this is one of their best meats. Period. Was pleasantly surprised to be honest. - Pork Belly (Spicy / Regular) - Black Pepper Beef - Beef Slices - Garlic Shrimp - Fried Rice - Decent sauce selection What we didn't like/enjoy: - Beef Tongue: this was way too tough. Hard to chew. Go to Gyu-kaku instead if you want real good beef tongue. - Ribeye Steak: also very tough. Price is quite similar/consistent with other AYCE Korean BBQ places you'd find in the Northern/North-west Suburbs. Place/vibe is so-so. The bathrooms definitely could use a bit more cleaning. But this is definitely your best bet in the Bolingbrook area.

I’ve been to Wabi-Q a few times now. Each time the service has been great. The atmosphere is okay, nothing special. The food is good. The produce has always been fresh and the meats are always delicious. They offer a small sauce bar that also has kimchi. I do wish there were more options at the sauce bar as far as sides. I’ve already recommended it to many family members. I highly recommended the seasoned beef and the chicken. The original hot pot broth is delicious and flavorful. The spicy broth is very spicy and I’m extremely tolerable of spicy foods. There are a variety of meat and vegetable options. There is parking all around the restaurant. If you need wheelchair accessibility, park near the rear or sides. The front parking lot has stairs.
