“ Very solid hotpot option. , Located, conveniently near Sawgrass in an easy to get to plaza, but doesn't have too much traffic or really long waits which is great. We came here towards the end of the night and we're set instantly. It works as an all you can eat, but with the looming threat of paying per pound for any food ordered and wasted. We ordered almost everything, and it was a Really Hardy and delicious meal, and they were very attentive with filling up the broth in the hot pot. The food comes out on a little robot delivery cart, that sings a tune throughout the restaurant and he's very cute. The restaurant actually closed an hour earlier than it said online, so when we thought we had a lot more time to hang out, they were kind of pushing us to close out, but that's fine. Honestly, it was still a great experience and for an all you can eat, was worth the price by far. Will be back soon ! ”
“ Always great.....you will leave this place very satisfied...Hotpot and Korean Barbecue in one....a lot of selection. Give it a try. The 2 gentlemen who is working there are so nice and polite. They explain to you how their all u can eat ordering is. The robot brings out the food, I think this is so cool and unique. Give it a try.... ”
“ Such a cool concept! Master Ba's all you can eat truly delivers so wear loose pants and prepare to be in a food coma when you leave! My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and as soon as we walked in and saw the cute robots zipping around we knew this was about to be an unforgettable experience! We were sat down right away and provided a paper menu to choose between the BBQ and hot pot options. We started with the scallion pancakes and sesame balls; which are part of the all-you-can-eat so feel free to order as many as you'd like, but save room for your main course because the portions are huge once cooked! Both appetizers were served hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. Since it was just us two, we decided to try the hot pot deal for $29.99 per person. The hot pot menu is divided up into 4 options: soup base, meat, seafood, and vegetables. For the soup base we chose the 'original' (beef & chicken) and 'spicy' (beef, chicken, spices). For the meat we chose egg (chicken), dumpling, and chicken. We skipped the seafood and finally for the vegetables we chose broccoli, instant noodles, glass noodles, sweet potato, and shanghai bok choy. The service is super fast which was great because I was starving. Everything we ordered was BEYOND tasty. The spicy broth was very spicy & packed with flavor so I was absolutely delighted that it lived up to its title. The dumplings were stuffed full and the meat inside was seasoned perfectly. Being able to cook everything at the table was so much fun, even though I made a mess. I could not stop smiling every time the cute robots made their way to everyone's table, playing music and letting you know they've arrived with your goodies to cook. I absolutely loved everything about this place and I can not wait to return to try their BBQ options. ”
“ It was a really fun experience to have both hotpot and bbq! Our table loved it and we just wished the physical table was bigger for our party of 5 since there were only 4 hotpot stations available. It got difficult finding placement for all the dishes we ordered. They had a lot of appetizer options like scallion pancakes, dumplings, popcorn chicken and more. I personally only ate 1 piece of popcorn chicken because I was saving myself for the red meats. But my party LOVED eating the apps especially the scallion pancakes. The hotpot options were standard with the meats, veg, and noodles. I am obsessed with getting beef, fish fillet and got to get my veggies (napa cabbage, spinach). Loved the glass noodles, so chewy! The bbq options were yum! It took a bit longer to cook because our entire grill was covered with meat. But they were so delicious especially with the mushrooms just cooking in the meat marinade. Ice cream options were lacking. They just had the regular individual cups of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. I wish they had more Asian flavors like matcha, red bean and black sesame which would be nice for first-time hotpotters to try for a well-rounded experience. Service was quick! They had 1 in-person server and a cute robot. It worked out since it wasn't super busy when we went. Overall, would come back again :) ”
“ I'm fairly new in trying hot pot restaurants but the overall quality and the amount of food for the price is great. My favorite thing is poaching the eggs in the soup with noodles. However, 2 new things here really blew me away, the rice cakes and the taro. Everything in the hot pot was very delicious. The Korean barbecue was good and we'll worth it to add onto the hot pot. Something I wish I'd seen more in the other endless places I've been is having the appetizers included. This was a very pleasant surprise and all of the appetizers we had were amazing. Especially the crab Rangoons. Those were gone so fast I couldn't even get a picture. Overall highly recommend. Not to far off I95 either for the traveler going to or from Miami (like me) ”
“ What a FUN spot for a family meal. It was my parents first time trying hot pot and bbq. It's fun and it's engaging with the whole family. The food was delicious and fresh. The bbq is all marinated and flavorful. The service was friendly and also robotic. Lol. You can order straight from your phone at any point and the robots bring your food. Your initial order is typically large as you're ordering on the fixings so the person server will assist but then they only come back when you need water. We were a party of six and we're automatically charged an 18% tip. Not sure if it was due to party size or this is how they operate. But it's just a heads up. If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely come back to this location. ”
“ This has become my go to spot whenever I visit FtL.. great value for money, plentiful options and a great sauce bar.. Will be back again! ”
“ Come for the robot server, stay for the fun hot pot experience. By now most people know that after you order your selections, the robot rolls to your table with the food! So trendy high tech! Ambiance is pretty typical for a modern Chinese restaurant. Clean, nice dinette seating, white dishes. Hot pot is a Chinese communal meal with family or friends. While each person at your table gets to chose their own soup base (I like the pork bone broth) and condiments/sauces, the food selections are meant to be shared. Have fun picking your favorites and trying new foods. Choose the BBQ or hot pot option, or both. Since it's all you can eat, we tend to overindulge with the variety offered and take both. The meats (lamb, chicken, pork, beef slices), seafood and vegetables are great and you cook your own on the grill or hot pot. Food cooks fast. Don't overcook, and if you do, complain to the chef (you). We liked everything except next time would pass on the deep fried selections. The robot server only serves. Staff have to help pick up used plates and bowls, and they are usually on the ball. We tip as usual for a normal restaurant. ”
“ Absolutely loved this place. It's not just "dining out", but a fun experience. We came with friends and I'd highly recommend doing so. It's more fun with a group as you get to see all the varieties of foods, etc. It's all you can eat -- either hot pot or bbq or both. Three of us did hot pot and I did the bbq. Appetizers are available for both. The hot pot you need to first choose the broth -- there are 5 or 6 options. One did chicken and the other two did Tom yum. But no matter which you choose, you can season it your way from the sauce/spice bar. If you like more heat, you can add it. On the menu, you mark off the appetizers and meats, seafood, noodles, and veggies, etc. you wish. The meats for the bbq are marinated, but not for the hot pot. Each hot pot burned is in front of you. The "grill" is located in the middle of the table. The only thing that was a bit confusing is that they brought all the meats et al for the hot pot together for each person -- so that if three people wanted chicken it was all on one plate. But it also made for some mixing and matching. Which was fun. I especially liked the potsticker appetizers. And of all the bbq meats, I especially liked the lamb the best. Of the grilled veggies, the asparagus was quite good. There was a ton of food! And we took our time as we cooked and ate and talked and ate and ate. If you wanted more of a particular item, you just asked for it. The only thing not included were drinks. The dinners are reasonably priced. You get a lot of everything for that set fee. And most everything was of very good quality -- although each of us had our favorites. I would definitely come back here again. I'm still stuffed so will need to wait a bit, though (ha ha). ”
“ Ok Fellow Yelpers, we all know everything isn't for everyone. Discovered my sister isn't a fan of "hot pot", although she did appreciate the experience. At Master Ba's (AYCE Hot Pot $29.99) diners have their own individual soup base pot. The table selects their meat, seafood and vegetables. Being the proactive person I am, I decided to make a run for the spice bar. BAD TIMING! Master Ba's has live entertainment. When I arrived back at the table, I was greeted by our server on wheels. Yes Huns, a robotic serving tray (LOL)! UNFORTUNATELY, for some unknown reason (that I'm troubleshooting and can hopefully resolve) I cannot save the video I received for uploading. However, I do have a picture. I know, I know, it's not the same. All of our food options were available and fresh. AND how could a restaurant with a robotic server not receive a 5 star review. ”
