Hong BBQ is less about ordering plates and more about pacing a meal together — grilling, simmering, and sharing across the table.

Inside Hong BBQ and Hot Pot

Hong BBQ fully commits to the experience, not just at the table but throughout the space. From the dining room to the side pass-through, the interior is intentionally designed, with murals, floor details, and visual elements that make even the wait feel considered.

The menu goes well beyond meat-forward barbecue. Alongside hot pot and grill selections, there’s a wide range of vegetables, tofu, rice cakes, dumplings, and noodles, making this an easy choice for mixed groups with different preferences. If you’re willing to try things before passing judgment, they have chicken feet on the condiment bar next to the kimchi.

The sauce bar offers a solid variety of condiments, plus fruit and dessert options to finish the meal. Beer, wine, and boba are available. They have sake and soju if you are looking for Asian beverage compliments.

If you have young or picky eaters, they had chicken nuggets and French fries on the condiment bar.

We were seated quickly mid-week, and the service supported a relaxed, unhurried pace. Bathrooms were clean, and the overall execution — food, flow, and environment — felt cohesive.

This is a fun, filling, interactive meal that rewards coming hungry and staying awhile.
