Hot Pot 757 & Korean BBQ Hilltop

The setting of the restaurant was very nice! The food was amazing as well. I had the Japanese miso broth and added beef brisket, bok choy, shrimp, and etc. The broth was very well seasoned and I also added a sauce to the broth that they provide at the buffet bar. The buffet bar has all types of sauces, veggies top compliment your broth. They also had salad, fruit, and crab legs and crawfish to added to your hotpot as well. This was my first time here and the waiter was very nice in informing my part how to order everything and was very patient in answering all of our questions. Once our order was put in they were always bringing out our toppings super fast. Definitely going back when I'm in town.

Apparently, they're actually closed now and will not be reopening like we were originally told. I'm curious to see what they will be re-opening as.

Since my boyfriend had yet to try Korean BBQ, we decided to head to Hot Pot 757 & Korean BBQ Hilltop. We were greeted by the host as soon as we walked and were asked if we were the ones that called in for reservations. We hadn't made reservations but that let me know that they take reservations for future visits, just FYI.

Once we were seated, our waiter, David, came right over to us and explained the menu. He also told us about the sauce & salad bar and even mentioned that they had crab legs for a limited time. We decided on the BBQ option and put in our orders. I started with the calamari, pork loin and spicy beef bulgogi and he ordered the New York strip, spicy chicken bulgogi and salmon. After we placed our meat order, we headed to the sauce & salad bar. The sauce bar included soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and chili oil, just to name a few and I added a little of everything to make my sauce lol. I grabbed some kimchi and definitely some crab legs from the salad bar before heading back to the table.

As soon as the meats came out, we placed them on the grill. We chose white rice to eat with the meats and after a few minutes, everything was ready to eat. We also put in an order of short ribs and garlic shrimp as well. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the short ribs while I enjoyed the calamari, salmon and spicy beef bulgogi but everything was delicious.

Overall, we left overly full yet extremely satisfied. David was absolutely amazing and my boyfriend said it was one of the best experiences he's ever had. We will be returning very soon, I'm sure lol.

Their 3rd newest location locally. This particular location is similar to their Chesapeake location. It's large & spacious. Plenty of seating & side rooms. They have quite the ventilation system for the steam. If you don't want wind blowing on you full force, don't sit in the booth next to the salad bar. It gets cold & a bit windy. I can see it being beneficial when the restaurant is at full capacity or during the summer. But with this location just opening that week & during lunch it wasn't as packed.
We could have requested a different table but, we were able to manage. Not a huge deal, but just an fyi.

In the price, it's an all you can eat hotpot place that includes the salad bar that consists of fruits & veggies/kimchi, salad etc & a large variety of sauces.

I like that they have a sign above the salad bar with a recommendation of sauce combinations if you feel overwhelmed or indecisive or just want to try something new.

I enjoy this location & the Chesapeake location, they have personal burners with its own controls on the bottom so you know that you're controlling your own pot & not accidentally someone else's.

You can choose either hotpot which involves choosing a broth from the menu , then placing your order of your choice of veggies, meats, seafood, etc. OR you can do just BBQ & you just choose your meats & veggies from the list towards the back of the menu under "BBQ" & you cook it on the grill in the middle of the table or you can pay more & do a combination of both BBQ & Hotpot.

The portions at the Chesapeake & this location are individual portions, so you don't have to coordinate with each other regarding what was already ordered.The only items that come in baskets are the leafy veggies like spinach & bok choy.

You cook your own food in the pot which doesn't take long at all. Veggies of course take less time, so you might want to throw those in last. Make sure not to leave your food in the pot too long, or else it ends up over cooked.
Our server checked on us several times to put in more orders. He was friendly & efficient.

* Whether you're a tourist or a local, it's a good spot for large groups. If you're trying to get away from the beach/touristy area this is a good spot to dine that's easily accessible & a short driving distance from the oceanfront.

* It's a great option before catching a show at Elevation 27 which is just a walk across the street & you don't want to eat fast food or eat at the music venue.

Absolutely love this place! I've been to this location about four times and this is by far my favorite. The establishment is clean and the food is fresh. My favorite hot pot broth to get is the butter beef.
The last time I went they even offered crab legs with the meal. The waiters are always attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely recommend!

I don't know what happened but one of the burners was not functioning and the manager and her staff were outstanding! They took care of us and moved us to a different table after attempting to fix the burner. They quickly replenished the meats, vegetables, and seafood for the hotpot and for the barbecue. They checked on us to refresh our drinks and food. The waitress and all the staff were phenomenal in making things right, so a huge thanks to the staff and manager for taking such good care of us!! The food was delicious and filling, piping hot! So be careful!! The passion fruit iced green tea was refreshing! The fare was fresh, flavorful, and a LOT, so you felt very satisfied! Great staff and great food! Highly recommend!!

We had a big event here for a group of almost 60 people. Diane and her crew couldn't have done a better job. They were absolutely the most helpful and wonderful staff to work with. We were able to get big tables of 10 and this allowed our guests to feel like they could chat to lots of different people rather than being at a table of 4. The experience was so fun for our guests and when they weren't sure what to order, the staff jumped right in and was always attentive to our needs.

We called 15 places in Virginia Beach to find somewhere within our budget for this event and I couldn't be happier that we landed at Hot Pot 757! Can not recommend enough!

We came here tonight for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint!!! This is the newly opened location in the area. The staff was quick to greet and seat us. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We had hot pot and Korean BBQ. The broth for the hot pot was spicy and flavorful. I had several sauces from the bar to use a dips. My favorite grilled item was the garlic shrimp and the beef bulgogi. Also grilled some pineapple to use on my lettuce wraps. The meat and the veggies were fresh. We had a lot of food for the price and we were all pretty full when we let. Definitely recommend!!!!

Went there for lunch today . Great lunch price ! Food was delicious and service was great . Didn't realize how big the inside was ! Will go back again !

Love the fact that I can have both hotpot and bbq. Had a friends dinner and it went great. The service was nice and friendly, never felt rushed
