Umami Seasons Hotpot

I really enjoyed my time at Umami Seasons Hotpot. The place feels cozy and welcoming and the food was honestly so good. The broth had a lot of flavor and everything tasted fresh. There were plenty of options to choose from and it made the whole hotpot experience really enjoyable. The staff were kind and attentive which made us feel comfortable the entire time. I would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone

I met up with five others for a birthday dinner here last night, and I am so happy that this was the birthday girl's choice! They were able to accommodate one of our friends who uses a wheelchair, which made me happy. It was open, clean, and bright. The music was a fun selection, though it was so loud that I had to ask them to turn it down so we could hear each other and they immediately obliged. I felt a little awkward asking (I just wanted to be able to hear all my friends!), but I was glad they didn't make it weird. I got a matcha milk tea which was pretty good. The waiter did a fairly good job explaining things, and the menu was insanely extensive. There is just SO much variety. After having watched Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, I wanted to try lotus root and it was SO good. I also orde

Had a lovely date night here. First time doing a hot pot and the experience was something I'drecommend anyone to try. Our server was Jim and he was very welcoming and definitely knew his stuff. He walked us through the process and made us masters of Hot Pot. A little pricey but a fantastic activity with a partner or friend.

We had a wonderful dinner tonight at a beautiful little restaurant on the Loop tonight. The restaurant was clean and very cutely decorated in a modern style. We ordered A LOT of food for 2 people! Our base order was the course for 2. The duel pot gave us a variety of flavors between the Imperial golden chicken and kimchi broth. We ordered the pork belly, eye of round and added the seafood combo and also added the Fish cake. The mushroom basket was beautifully presented. We topped it off with some Sparkling Soju which was better than a dessert because they were so sweet and flavorful!

I really wanted to like this place, as the atmosphere is great and it feels very authentic, but it just wasn't good hotpot. We did the 2 person dinner combo. Thr tomato broth lacked flavor, although the numbing one was very good. The meat which was scraps of meat they couldnt shape well didnt hold much flavor either. We are big backs so had to order another meat, the foot long tray, which was tastier at least. We also ordered a diet coke at the beginning of our meal, and didnt get it until the very end, which was around an hour because service was incrediblely slow. Had to ask multiple times for water refills, and remind for napkins and utensils. They were super busy, but waiting 10 minutes for utensils so we could eat felt like forever.
