" Absolutely loved my visit to Top 1! The interactive dining experience of grilling and boiling at the table was exhilarating. Everything tasted fresh, especially the vegetables which complemented the meats very well. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many spicy sauce options at the bar. Service was a little slow at times, but the friendly staff made up for it. I can't wait to plan my next meal here; I already told my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family arrived at Top 1 expecting a well-rounded dinner based on recommendations. The hot pot experience was fun and engaging! We especially loved the broth options. Service, while friendly, was somewhat inconsistent - we waited a long time for our drinks to come back. The restaurant was busy, but there were enough staff covering the floor. Would recommend for a fun night out but with low expectations for super fast service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Top 1 Korean BBQ & Hotpot was delightful. As a first-time visitor, I was welcomed warmly by the staff, who guided us through the menu. We opted for the hot pot, and the broth options were rich and flavorful, particularly the spicy Szechuan broth. The quality of the meats was commendable, especially the pork belly and ribeye. Although it got quite smoky, the vibes were lively, and we didn’t mind the bustle. I'll definitely be returning soon for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a family gathering at Top 1 and it was a mixed bag. On one hand, the food quality was impressive; the spicy beef bulgogi was a highlight, and there's a great selection of meats. However, our server seemed overwhelmed, leading to slow service at points, which was frustrating. The layout felt cramped and made movement challenging at times. Overall, the food was well-prepared and delicious, but it would really benefit from better service and airflow. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! My first hot pot experience and it was fantastic. The quality of ingredients was stellar—especially the seafood. I loved the fact that I got to choose my soup base. The only issue was the restaurant was quite small, so it felt a little cramped. The service was excellent; our server was super friendly and did a great job explaining the menu. I will definitely be coming back again soon to explore more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has a unique ambiance that combines modern dining with traditional flavors. Everything from the decor to the cooking experience was delightful! Our server Kristy was a gem, reminding me to add more sauce to my dishes, which really elevated the flavors. The hot pot options were endless, which made for an exciting culinary adventure! Highly recommend trying it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I approached my experience at Top 1 with excitement, especially after hearing great feedback. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. The self-cooking concept made it fun. I was thrilled to try the spicy bulgogi—it was flavorful! The dining space is a bit tight, which made moving around difficult, but the atmosphere was warm. I just think they need to focus on improving the flow of service a little bit more. " (*Curated Review*)
