" I visited Top 1 recently and enjoyed the concept of self-cooking at the table. The sauce bar had an impressive selection but could use some more traditional Korean sauces. Despite the fun cooking experience, I found the ventilation lacking as it got quite hot inside. The staff was friendly and attentive, though my drink refills were slow to arrive. The food was fresh, especially the spicy beef bulgogi. Overall, it was a good experience, and I plan to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining at Top 1, and I must say, it was fantastic! The atmosphere was lively, and the open cooking setup made dining interactive. We tried both the BBQ and hot pot; the short ribs were juicy, while the hot pot broth was aromatic. The setup prompted great conversations among our group. The only downside was the occasional wait for service during peak hours. I recommend going early to avoid this. Overall, a fun experience worth trying again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Top 1 was fantastic! First time trying hot pot and it was a blast. The staff was friendly and helped us understand the process since it was our first time. Loved the spicy broth, and the variety of meats offered was great! I am definitely coming back for another experience soon; it is worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Top 1 was memorable. Loved grilling at the table with friends! The sauces offered at the bar were diverse and flavorful. The grilled short rib was superb. The staff was friendly and checked on us regularly, although we encountered a few delays when it got busy. Such a fun night overall; I’ll make sure to return, especially with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The family really enjoyed Top 1 Korean BBQ & Hotpot! It was our first experience with hot pot cuisine, and we were impressed by the variety of meats available. The atmosphere was friendly, and the service was decent. However, the place was compact, which made it hard to navigate at times. While the prices were reasonable, I recommend going during off-peak hours for a better experience. " (*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*)
