  I really like vegetables so the buffet style works great for me. Service is also good with the buttons by the seats.

  Im not really a hot pot kind of person. I don't know why but I'm not just into it. I can't say my experience was bad. Overall the service was good.
  
  It was my first time there so I had to be coached a bit. You order the meat and then you get a plate full of veggies, corn, tofu, half of a hot dog, rice cake, noodles, and an egg.
  
  Im not into boiling meat but its a good place for people to eat light and healthy. The sauce was good and they will refill it. It didnt seem like you can get a refill of the veggies but at the end, you can order rice to make porridge at the end.
  
  Im kinda used to a big hot pot where you share but this place has those individual hot pots. They dont make the rice porridge for you so you need to know what you are doing. Luckily i have some skills in that department so my porridge was good.
  
  Overall its not bad but im sure those who like shabushabu or hot pot will enjoy this place.

  *UPDATE*
  I got food poisoning after eating here. I don't know if it's the new set up or the actual ingredients. But BEWARE. I won't go here again any time soon.

  They changed it up from normal serving to self-serve bar for the veggies! At first I didn't like the idea but quickly realized that it was much better. You can eat unlimited amounts of the items you want, leaving less waste of items you don't. (It's just common decency to only get the amount you can actually finish - there's a sign up to remind you if you forget )
  
  A shabu platter used to provide one egg that came with it, but I didn't see it at the veggie bar. So I asked the waitress and she said they give one to you if you ask for it, which seemed unfair for those who wouldn't know an egg comes with it and wouldn't know to ask.. and it's not like they let you know, I had to ask HER if they don't give an egg anymore....... so conclusion: ask for your egg! Haha.
  
  Question though.. does this mean we can tip less? Since they aren't waiting on us as much?
  
  Otherwise, it's our go-to spot for shabu.

  The food here is good, but the service is lacking. The servers really don't pay attention to anything. I think they rely on the bells, but I don't want to have to ring the bell every time i need water or more soup. I feel like it's more burdensome. If you can overlook that, i'd say it's definitely worth visiting on a cold rainy day! On weekdays they usually have unlimited vegetables (buffet style), which is nice bc that's probably everyone's fav part!

  I'm a big fan of Gom Shabu Shabu.  Back in the day if I wasn't at Mini Hot Pot on Buford Highway you could find me at Gom Shabu Shabu off of Satellite Blvd.  Gom Shabu Shabu was the first popular Korean shabu shabu/hot pot spot in Atlanta.  Their broth and fresh vegetables and dope dipping sauce had me coming back often.
  
  So this location opened up and we started coming here more.  The broth is still very good and love how they make the sauces for you.  You can still go up and make your own sauce mix but I prefer the ones they make.  They have four different spice levels.  I go back and forth from the premium beef and the regular beef.  Both are good to me.  I really like the things they have for the platter here.  My favorite is the imitation crab piece (don't judge me), the fish cake, glass noodles, and the Korean rice cake.  They also will give you bean sprouts if you ask for it.  I also like to get the Korean jook (porridge) or noodles (udon or kahl kook soo) at the end of the meal.  There is an extra charge for those items but its worth it.  
  
  I also like the partially closed off individual tables here which makes it feel more intimate.  They also have the good ole Korean call button that you can use if your server goes MIA or if it's hard to flag one down because of the partitions.  Feel free to use it as often as you need for water refills, broth refills, more sauce, and your check.    The past couple of times I've been the service has been so so... I've had to ring the bell for stuff unlike other places that would check up on while dining in.  They are very prompt in getting you the refills that you ask for as well as bringing out your initial order.
  
  The only thing that was odd was that about an hour before they closed they had a last call for more sauce.  That was the first time I experienced that and thought it was weird to close off the sauces when the place doesn't close for another hour...
  
  They used to have an AYCE option.  I can't recall if they still do.  
  
  I will definitely be back for their broth.  It's really good.  No lie.
