Leo and his team are amazing making sure all our needs are taken care of and made my friend's birthday special. This is the best place to have a great experience of good food, great service and friendly faces.

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and it was a great time! For their birthday dinner, the birthday person gets a free meal, with a group of four or more. The interior of this restaurant is much nicer than it appears from the outside, and there's plenty of big tables for large groups. You order your items on an iPad and the staff comes out fairly quick with your food. Here, you have the option to do both or either KBBQ and/or hotpot. This time, my friends and I just opted for their hotpot. They have a good variety of options (although less than I typically see for AYCE hotpot—ie. they only have 4 meat options) for veggies, meat, and seafood. They also have a variety of appetizers, such as the seafood pancake, that you can pay a little bit extra for. The hotpot itself is pretty solid and all of the ingredients are fresh. Overall, good value for the money and I would love to come back to try their BBQ.

An excellent hot pot restaurant with a ton of options. Staff is very attentive and will bring you anything you ask for. There is also a supplemental buffet and drinks cooler that is included free of charge. All the broths we tried were excellent and the ingredients were fresh. Highly recommended.

Great place to celebrate a birthday! A lot of options to choose from for Hotpot, Buffet, and BBQ, make your own sauces too. My family and I like to come here on a cold day.

Service was great. food came out fast and plenty of broth flavors and sauces to choose front.

Newly renovated, with new hot buffet section. Great service when assisting your grill.

Great variety of food selection. We got both hotpot and barbecue. Quality has gone up recently. Will come back again.

Delicious food, and they have a great deal for free premium food items. We got both the bbq and hotpot. They recently renovated and now have hot buffet foods too.

New update for 99 favor.\nThere's new decor and renovation that got done, which is nice bc it feels like a cafe ambience. I like the service they provided, its grill your own but they help u grill …

*Long Review!* They remodeled inside! Its actually so chill with the new chairs and tables. Still free on your birthday and singing for u, and the ingredients are good and there's free bar buffet like fries or chicken nuggets, fruits, shaved ice station, seafood boil lol, and sauce station. I like their dessert/shaved ice topping of AiyuJelly. Yummy. Oh and there's free ice cream at the end. AYCE is about $35 a person roughly. Our group had one hotpot and two barbecue grill, which I didn't think was allowed to mix, but the table separated pretty well to be able to and the server was very kind and friendly!! Maybe it wasn't rush hour food time therefore the experience was great! They help you grill the meat but you can also grill it yourself, so there's the stress taken off you when youre busy doing other things. You can flip it yourself and eat when you think is done, or they come assist you when they walk around which is quite often. The meat selection was ok, mostly beef and no chicken item except wings, the shrimps was tasty and the pork was ok. My favorite was pork belly probably. They do lettuce wraps instead of salad, I come to realize i prefer the salad style for less mess but you can always chopstick your lettuce :)

Great spot for small meet ups with friends and family. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I had the opportunity to have both hotpot and Korean bbq, both did not disappoint. Endless food options to try, some tasty, some not. Definitely trial and error, just make sure you don’t over order or they’ll charge you for whatever is left. Overall pretty good spot.

Artography

99 Taste — 8th Avenue, Brooklyn Star y: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Built around the sociable rituals of hot pot and tabletop barbecue, 99 Taste gets one important thing very right: the individual hot pot setup. Each diner can choose their own soup base, allowing everyone at the table to tailor the experience—spicy, herbal, or comforting—without compromise. It’s a thoughtful touch that elevates the format and encourages return visits. That strength, unfortunately, was undercut by operational missteps. Despite a 6 p.m. reservation, food arrived much later than expected. The malfunctioning ordering machine led to mixed-up orders and long stretches of waiting—particularly frustrating for a hot pot and BBQ restaurant where timing is essential. Broths and grills were ready, but ingredients lagged behind, stalling the experience. The buffet area felt sparse during peak hours, and the lack of clean bowls and cups caused further delays, even before dipping sauces could be assembled. Staff were courteous and apologetic, but the evening’s rhythm never fully recovered. When everything finally came together, the flavors delivered: rich soup bases, satisfying meats, and the familiar comfort that has made 99 Taste a neighborhood favorite. Final Take: The individual hot pot concept is a standout and a genuine highlight. If service and ordering logistics can match the quality of the setup, 99 Taste on 8th Avenue could be a far more seamless—and enjoyable—experience.

Hot pot was good but not the Korean bbq. If anyone wants Korean bbq, please go to a Korean restaurant. Service was great but ambiance? Too loud for me. I'll be back though.

Okay option if you are looking for AYCE hot pot and/or BBQ. We went as a party of two and were seated immediately at a booth, which was spacious and clean. We had been to 99 Favor Taste in the past…

Food was full of fat and quality of the meats were a hit and miss as a result of how they cook it for you and not you preparing your food. A few bites and some meats were undercooked. As a skilled chef we have a standard. I’m skeptical about restaurants since so much of a stereotype is actually true about food prep and storage. The waiter who cooked our food was definitely trying his best to help. I rate this place a skip for me.

I don’t know where to begin…I read a bunch of the recent reviews for this place before going…hoping that the experience would not disappoint. But the truth of the matter is, the bad reviews didn’t disappoint. There was one waitress that was super friendly and smiley. The rest could care less about giving you a good and friendly experience. The food bar offered a good selection of pre-cooked food, but the flavor and quality was not good. The food for the hotpot was also unimpressive. Vegetables were good. The quail eggs were good. Duck feet was good. Shrimp paste was good. Fatty beef was not tasty and texture was off. Seafood and some of the other proteins were not fresh and didn’t taste good… Fridge beverage selection was good. Fruits were good. Ice cream was also good. Overall, would not recommend.

Rushed, indifferent and unprofessional - came with my family of 5 and cooking was slow. The workers kept putting the bbq heat on medium low and there wasn't enough food going out. - I kept ordering more food and barely anything would come out. - I would ask if there is more coming and the workers would say they would check and barely come out with a small plate of meat. - we were there for 2 hours and we walked out not full at all. - they did not let us know that our time was coming close and just closed the stove and gave us the atmosphere of we need to leave. - I would order 5 servings of fatty beef and only 2 portion would come. Personally I wouldn't have minded cooking it on my own but the workers kept coming by to turn the meat. But like if youre gonna cook it on medium heat then I rather cook it on my own. I did not enjoy this place and personally would take my money elsewhere.
