I've visited maybe 10 times in the last 12 Years, they have good quality and service. It's on the expensive side, but so is going to get korean bbq. I have no complaintsThey even give you a yogurt drink at the end of your meal

I was looking for a good Chinese hot pot place and wanted to give this place a try. We had an yin&yang family pot with lamb, prime rib eye, and tofu combo. It was fantastic!They had a good quality meat and the tofu combo was pretty nice. Broth for the hot pot was very delicious- not too heavy or salty.Food was decently priced.Definitely will come back!!!

A white girl and Korean walk into Chinese hot pot for the first time. This is how it panned out...Things you should know:I. PARKINGJ's Mini is within a plaza and shares a free private parking lot with the adjacent businesses. Easy.II. SERVICEWe found solace in the gracious guidance of our waitress since we didn't know what the heck we were doing. To be honest, everything is labelled in a straightforward manner on the menu ~ it even tells you the cook times for the given ingredients! So helpful..! But we probably still ate things oddly, occasionally wrapping some of the cooked ingredients in the nappa cabbage as if we were at KBBQ.The middle section of the restaurant is the sauce bar—where bias meets bliss—the Korean sauce stole our taste buds.III. QUALITYPortions are massive. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure! Everything appeared & tasted fresh.IV. CAPACITYFor a weekend night around 8pm, there was a modest wait for about 5 minutes to seat the two of us.

I am so happy I came back, it's been a while but I forgot how delicious this place is. I picked the Szechuan hot pot with beef, the broth was so spicy and delicious. They give you a lot of food, maybe a little bit to much. The server came couple of times to check if I needed more broth. They have a sauce bar where you can make your own sauces. Please come try this place. It's one of the best.

First time coming back ever since Covid. I used to come often because it was the best hot pot in metro Atlanta. I'd say it still is the best, and on top of that they made upgrades to the interior, it looks so much fancier than before. Everything tastes the same, good as always.

I am very happy with my experience at J's on Pleasant Hill! The servers were all kind and attentive to my friend's need and my needs. The food was delicious and so filling! Quality meat and vegetables! I loved it and I will come back again!
We came here for lunar new year 2024. The server was attentive and patient. She not only explained the menu in detail, she also pointed out the vegan sauces. Each of us had an vegan broth entree, each entree comes with broth and all the veggies. My only complaint is the veggies have too many fillers: cabbages and greens that take up a lot of space in the bowl to make it look like a lot. Next time, I’ll only order the broth then the veggies separately. Will definitely come back.Sichuan spicy broth IS the yummiest broth I’ve ever had in my life.Vegetarian options: Tofu, taro, veggies, mushrooms.. etc.Dietary restrictions: VeganKid-friendliness: Good for families

Great since each person had their own pot. The price is reasonable considering the amount of food they give per person. Came as a party of 5, we all got aprons which was great. They gave a variety of vegetables and a good amount of meat. There are some inconsistencies with the interior design (could use warmer lighting), however overall was a positive experience and would consider coming back.

Be careful when you order with large groups here. I had a group of 9 people and we ordered three entrees. They later stated that we had to order 6 more entrees after we had finished eating or else we would get charged. They did not state this very clearly when we ordered causing us to spend way more money than we thought we would. Please be cautious when eating here in large groups!!!

My first experience of a hot pot. It was fun. I may not enjoy the fact that I have to cook stuff in a pot at my table, but was a a new experience. The waitresses were very helpful to explain how things work and gave us a mystery sauce from the sauce booth. The ingredients were fresh and made for a nice tasting broth.
This. Was.
