“ Had lunch with family. Food was really good. The experience was awesome cooking your own food and had great selections. Will come back again for sure.. the service was great with friendly server. The ambiance was comfortable and kept with the theme and atmosphere. ”

“ Last night was my first 'hot pot' experience. Walking in, it smelled delicious and inviting! The restaurant was clean. Friendly, helpful staff. The only reason I give it 4 stars is there's a lot to know and our server was great, but didn't say the sauce bar is literally where you get your flavor. Period. I did make my own sauce of blended sesame, soy and garlic- and honestly I loved it with everything! It's a little messy but overall, delicious and fun. I'm wanting to go again because I feel like now, I can go in with a little experience! Love this place! ”

“ I returned from a business trip from a 6 hr flight were the only food was a snack, so my appetite was at its peak, and nothing better that an all you can eat hot pot. We arrived at opening and was seated quickly and being that it was on a Saturday the price is the dinner price. We ordered our drinks and broths for the hot pot along with our favorite additions, the beef is always great, added with the mushrooms, and cabbage. I got the spicy butter broth and my wife the pork bone base, both are delicious. The house beef is a must have, as the barbecue beef was a little underwhelming, however the bbq squid made up for that. The corn was great also along with the mussels, oysters and clams. Don't forget to go to the back table to make your own dipping sauces, and desserts, which consist of ice cream, small tiramisu cake, and fruit. Great family atmosphere if you're looking to enjoy a dining experience. ”

“ Food is good, the service was good as well. There were a lot of selections to choose from. I like the bbq options and make our own sauce optioIt's my second time back, will return. ”

“ Great service, clean good food unique items. Recommended not a lot of this style in Lafayette. Come for lunch less $$ ;) ”

“ First Hot Pot & BBQ 4510 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy suite j, Lafayette, LA 70508 Finally!! I finally had the chance to try the first hot pot (literally) in Lafayette! What is hot pot, you ask? The concept is simple -- simmering meat, vegetables, and noodles in a spicy (or plain) broth fondue in the center of the table. Essentially, you cook vegetables, proteins, and carbs just the way you like it. Hot Pot is to have originated from China. I honestly don't remember everything I ordered, but this is what I recall: -Mussels, clams, sliced lamb, sliced pork, beef tongue. black tripe, mushrooms, and marinated sausage, chicken, and beef skewers. If you're curious to find more information about hot pot, simply youtube it! I definitely plan to come back here when I'm in town again! #Tonylameats #Lafayettela #firsthotpotbbq #chinesehotpot #bbq ”

“ This place was a cool experience. The service was great they kept up with all my needs. I was very satisfied with meal it was fun to cook all my stuff. The place its self has a great look on the inside. ”

“ The decor and ambiance is great. The servers the tvs on the wall showing how to eat hot pot and the hanging lanterns put you in a happy mood. The music is even uplifting. All of the smells from the various soups cooking can get intoxicating. I tried the Cajun broth it tasted just like the water we boil crawfish in. But it's not red mostly water and crawfish boil liquid. They have many varieties of things to add from meats, vegetables, fish balls galore and some seafood options. I really enjoyed the flavor of mine once I put the onions, mushrooms, bok choy and more. They have instructions at the tables to let you know how long to cook certain items. You go to a sauce bar to make the sauce that you dip your meats in. So depending on what you make it will help or hurt the taste. They have only 6 items for the Korean BBQ I really enjoyed all of them the chicken, beef, shrimp, mini sausages, and broccoli are on skewers and are delicious. The squid is sliced and awesome as well. Only complaint is that the tables are small. So my suggestion is to order the flavoring items like onions, cabbage, mushrooms, lettuce, and such to start off so you can get rid of those plates to bring in the good stuff. Just my opinion ”
