KANPAI BBQ Hotpot Buffet

We had an incredible dinner at Kanpai Hotpot with a party of four. We opted for the buffet, and it was well worth the price for the quality and variety of food we received. We tried the Laksa, Original, and Tom Yum soups. All three were delicious and served as the perfect base for our meal. Variety & Quality: We enjoyed a wide range of proteins, including sliced beef, beef leaf, chicken, chicken dumplings, and quail eggs. I also tried the crawfish for the first time, and it was a great experience! To top it all off, we had a refreshing coconut drink and the mango sticky rice, which was a wonderful (and delicious) surprise at the end of the meal. The service was exceptionally quick. We ordered our meats via a tablet system, which made the process seamless and efficient. We never had to wait long for our items to arrive, allowing us to focus on enjoying the food and the company. If you’re looking for a fun group dining spot with great food and fast service, I highly recommend Kanpai Hotpot. We’ll definitely be back!

We had an awesome time at Kanpai BBQ Hot Pot Buffet! The place was lively and packed when we arrived, which already told us it was going to be good. Even so, the wait time was short and totally worth it. Once seated, the service was fast, friendly, and very attentive, especially impressive given how busy it was. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and with a great variety for both BBQ and hot pot. Everything came out quickly and tasted great. The highlight of the night, though, was the karaoke. It was the bomb and took the experience to another level. We laughed, sang, and had an absolute blast from start to finish. This is a perfect spot for a fun, high-energy night out, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

We had visited this place 2x, once during lunch and once during dinner. Of course dinner is pretty busy than lunch. But the service never changed. Always welcomed with a smile and the staff were really helpful. And also with mr robot server. The place is quite huge they can cater small to big groups. Unfortunately you have to be at least 5 pax to reserve but so far the wait they have is at least 30mins the longest, the one we experienced. It’s probably depends on what time you will visit. They have parking shared with other strips which is in the front and at the back and a shared garage too. About the food, they offered buffet from appetizers, main course, fruits, sauce, to desserts. In my opinion you really get what you paid for. Now lunch and dinner have different pricing, lunch is much affordable but the menu is quite limited. Now by default you will get bbq and hotpot in one price so it is really good deal. The meat is so good and quality. Also one thing here is after the eating your clothes doesn’t smell like smoke. Overall this is one of the top bbq and hotpot place.

Came by for dinner with some friends and I highly recommend this place. On a sidenote, I will mention that if you’re not familiar with this area parking at the shopping center can be quite hectic so if you can’t find something in front, I highly recommend just going straight to the back lot and finding a parking space there it will save you a lot of time and stress. Upon walking in kanpai it’s a mix of modern and elegant while encompassing a very fun vibe. We saw many birthdays, taking place and they come out with these huge signs and glow sticks and really make it into a spectacle which I love and a special shout out to Camille, the hostess, who bared with us through all of the photo opportunities she was amazing. Food wise for the price you pay it’s beyond amazing at the hot bar. You have option such as pad Thai with chicken and shrimp glass noodles with various seafood dumplings, softshell crabs, and so much more the options are almost endless. Then you have various fruits salad available as well as a great variety of desserts for at the end of the meal. At the table, you also then have the option of both hot pot and Korean barbecue and the meat options are also very amazing considering the price . Ordering is made super easy as each table gets a tablet so you can put in your orders without having to wait for a waiter or waitress. Additionally, the food comes out in one of those robotic trays so again wait time is very limited as as soon as it comes out someone or something will deliver it for you. The only thing that was inconvenient was the way that the tables are set up for smaller parties as they have a side-by-side set up of the Korean barbecue and the hot pot so it’s not easily accessible for everyone sitting there so there is some assistance that will be needed throughout your dinner. Other than that, I highly recommend as they have great food great service and all-around great vibes!

Their buffet foods are all tasty! The service is proactive and quick! Interior design is pleasing. High chair and koala kare seen. Restroom is clean and smells good. Their bbq meats are good quality. Hotpot broths are oh soooo goood!! Lunch and dinner pricing are different. Parking is quite challenging due to other tenants in the area but they have more at the back. See images for reference.

The food was quite good. There's enough selection at the buffet for us, so we'll probably just do the buffet next time rather than both the buffet and hot pot/bbq grill. We were too full after the meal, not complaining, just getting old 😊 Seeing the robot walk around the restaurant was very entertaining.

TLDR: A fun and impressive all you can eat experience combining hotpot, Korean BBQ, and a strong Chinese buffet. Fresh ingredients, fast service, great variety, and a surprisingly smooth system for such a packed restaurant. Kanpai is an all you can eat powerhouse offering endless hotpot, Korean BBQ, and a Chinese buffet all rolled into one experience and I am fully on board with it. My group of four arrived on a Friday night around seven to a packed dining room, yet we only waited a few minutes for a table. That alone speaks to how efficient and well organized their front of house operation is. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clearly a new build or renovation with a polished feel that shows someone invested heavily into the space. Once seated, the system is simple. You pay a flat rate and get full access to both the hotpot and Korean BBQ stations at your table along with free range at the Chinese buffet in the back. For hotpot, each table selects two broths which arrive in a split basin set on a built in table burner. From there you order as many meats, seafood, and vegetables as you want. The Korean BBQ operates the same way with a selection of meats and seafood ready to be grilled by you at your own pace. Servers will sometimes help with grilling but during busy times it is easier to handle it yourself. The hotpot is entirely self managed. The buffet is a fantastic addition that more all you can eat places should embrace. It features a nice range of appetizers like potstickers and spring rolls along with more interesting items such as spare ribs, fried soft shell crab, and pineapple fried rice. The sauce bar nearby is loaded with every topping and condiment you could possibly want. As for the proteins, everything we tried for both hotpot and KBBQ was fresh and portioned generously. A small tip for newcomers. Table space becomes very limited when juggling both hotpot and KBBQ, so pace your ordering. Everything is done through a tablet at the table and once you submit your items a robot runs your meats straight to you which was a fun touch. Our highlights included the laksa broth paired with various seafood for hotpot and on the KBBQ side the thin sliced beef and pork belly which were simple but excellent because of how good the meat quality was. Overall, Kanpai delivers a great all you can eat experience and is absolutely worth a visit if you want variety, freshness, and a lively crowd.
