Grand Hot Pot Lounge - San Francisc

I came here for a friend's AYCE/karaoke birthday- as we had a group size of 15 and were looking for a cost effective karaoke/dinner situation.We had no idea what to expect as no one in our group had been to karaoke at a restaurant! When we arrived at 9, there were still other diners there, as I believe dinner closed at 10pm. At 10, the restaurant was private for just our group. The staff was extremely helpful in helping us figure out the karaoke system (finnicky search tool, but you can find most songs you would want to sing). We ate the variety of hot pot options (beef, shrimp, tofu, fishcake, bokchoy, noodles, etc) from 9-10ish and spent the rest of the time doing karaoke and indulged in the AYCD (all you can drink) option. They offered sake, beer, and a variety of soft drinks (sodas, hawaiian sun, grass jelly drinks, etc).Around 11:45, we closed out with raspy voices and very full stomachs.

Came here for the first time in a while with a group of friends for a weekend dinner. It was $35 tax per person AYCE, including drinks and made to order appetizers.We selected two soup bases, one spicy for meats and one vegetarian. We checked off items on a paper menu that we wanted, and they'd come on a raised platter that was placed next to our table.The service would bus leftover plates, cans, and utensils pretty quickly. For sauces and getting non-water drinks, there was a sauce station and also a drinks fridge where we could grab our own sauces and drinks.I had a great time, found the food satisfactory for the price, and the ease of the hot pot experience here to be easy and great. Will definitely come again!

Recently been here twice since they moved to their new location 4134 Geary (next door to Brothers Korean BBQ.)Great AYCE hot pot experience. Their broths are so good also. The meat selections are fresh, delicious, they give a generous portion. I really like all the other selections like all the veggies, seafood, etc. Self serve ice cream. A bit iffy about this, but you can always skip.Service is efficient and friendly. Ambiance is nice as it seems newly remodeled. Comfortable sitting and nice bright interior. They share same space as Wasabi bistro. No more karaoke at this location.

Went today. Yelp says open at 11 but the opened at 12. My friend luckily arrived 11:50 so didn't wait thw whole hour. Walked in and I said hello, I got zero response. Someone in the back came up and I said party of 2, no smile no greeting. Just hand motion to the empty tables. Food was ok. Won't be back because i will remember it as an unpleasant experience. If the food was amazing, i might reconsider. But no, not this place

Came around 4pm and it was very empty for an ayce restaurant, which was great because there was no wait and the service was quick. Most of the food came out after a couple minutes, couple items were missing but it's fine because it's ayce and you can just reorder.All the food and the broth tasted fantastic. There is a good selection of meats and lunch appetizers, there's even more for dinner. The fridge drinks are very different from the regular restaurant drinks, making it fun and interesting. Would come back especially for dinner
