i went todyay for my first time here. Not busy at all. i try to order my second round of meat which say all you can eat. so i order my second round of meat, that i need to order from two server and it never came. been sitting waiting for 30-40 minute then i just tell the server to cancel it and give me the check and leave.

Very expensive for the quality they offered. Lots of MSG in the soup. High service fee of 20% automatically added. Bad service. Will never go again.

Legend Hot Pot & Grill honestly surprised me for the price, you get hotpot and BBQ in one spot, and everything tasted way fresher than most AYCE places. The broth was flavorful, the meats were tender and well-marinated, and the conveyor belt made grabbing veggies and noodles super easy. The sauce bar was fully stocked with everything you’d want, the vibe inside was warm and clean, and the staff kept refilling things without us even asking. Overall, it’s a perfect cold-weather spot with great value, tons of variety, and a way better experience than I expected. I’d definitely come back.

This place has solid ayce hot pot and bbq. They have a conveyor belt near the tables with lots of hot pot ingredients that you can grab, such as vegetables, rice cakes, noodles, seafood, and tofu. You can order 4 orders of meat at a time - the meat quality was solid but nothing extraordinary. I think I liked the hot pot bar the most - they had good chicken wings, fried fish, and marinated pork ribs that were really really good. If you need a palate cleanser or dessert, they have mango pudding, watermelon, grapes, sweet soup, and boba jellies in the fridge. You can easily overstuff yourself here.

For just around $29, you get hotpot + BBQ all in one place, which is honestly unbeatable in the Bay Area. I’d seen mixed reviews about the meat quality before coming, but everything we had was fresh, well-marinated, and way better than expected for the price. The beef slices and lamb rolls were my favorites, and the BBQ selection had plenty of choices too.
The broth was flavorful, service was fast and friendly, and they kept refilling ingredients without us even asking. The self-serve sauce bar was clean and had everything you’d want, including garlic, cilantro, sesame oil, and chili.
Overall, this place is insanely worth it — great value, tons of variety, and perfect for warming up on a cold day. Will definitely come back!

Had the tom yum broth and enjoyed it! Both the regular and premium meats were good quality! I especially enjoyed the brisket, double marble beef, short rib, pork belly (ask for thinly sliced!), beef tongue, scallops, and Australian Wagyu. The beef tongue may have been my favorite - I loved how thinly sliced it was, some other kbbq places slice it too thick, and it becomes too tough. They have a huge variety of ingredients to choose from on the conveyor belt! Legend is great value and on par with other ayce hot pot kbbq restaurants in the bay! Thanks Ryan for being so attentive and helpful!
I got food poison eating there.

I just wanna share my experience here. I brought both of my kids here for their birthday. My son is seven. My other one is eight. They told me they charged by height so they’re charging my son a full price. Which is ridiculous. And they say it’s a company policy. I don’t wanna leave because it’s my son’s birthday. I’m just saying, but for the future if this helps anyone.

We used to come to this restaurant almost every week because it’s very close to our home. Sam always provided excellent service and took great care of us, making us feel a sense of friendliness and convenience.
Recently, we’ve been quite busy and haven’t visited as often. We came for lunch today, but unfortunately, the experience wasn’t a pleasant one. The menu prices have increased by $5, which is completely understandable given the current market conditions. As long-time customers, we wanted to order in the same way we had many times before — a combination of BBQ and hot pot meat selections — but the lady in charge refused our request. She then pretended another server was her manager and made a show of “asking” her, which was clearly dishonest. I recognized her — she usually works during dinner hours and on weekends, while Sam used to serve during weekday lunch times.
The issue isn’t about the price change, but rather the way she treated returning customers and the small deceptive tricks she used, which was truly disappointing.
Now that Sam is no longer here, the restaurant has lost its appeal for us. If we come back in the future, we might only be reminded of the time she tried to deceive us — and that certainly won’t help the appetite

This spot is such a hidden gem! For just an extra $5 you can unlock unlimited premium cuts like Australian and U.S. wagyu – the brisket comes out crispy and the short ribs are perfectly juicy and flavorful. The rotating hotpot bar is super fun, with one-person portions that make it easy to try a little of everything without waste. I loved the tomato broth, rich and comforting, and the seafood (crab, clams, razor clams) was surprisingly fresh. Don’t skip the snack corner either – lamb spine stew, fried chicken wings, cakes, and fruit were all delicious. The ambiance is modern with ocean projections on the wall, the sauce bar has tons of options, and the staff even help grill the meat – all for under $20 at weekday lunch.
