Central Ohio is enjoying a wealth of hot pot and Korean BBQ places, and the west side isn’t being left out, thanks to Siji Korean BBQ & Hot Bar and Bar!
Siji sits in a stand-alone building in the Georgesville Square shopping center, not far off I-270. Similar to other hot pot places, they feature an expansive dining room with tables that are ideal for 4-6 people, although they feature some nice two-tops as well.
If you’re not familiar with Korean BBQ and hot pot restaurants, the process is pretty simple. You have to decide collectively as a table whether you want to do the barbecue OR the hot pot OR both. The whole table has to choose the same thing.
Then you flip through the menu and choose which dishes you like. You can order as much as you want, but you can be charged if there are too many unused plates. So we tend to order on the low side and then add more later if needed.
The menus also highlight which dishes are meant for the barbecue and which are for the hot pot. And they span almost every type of meat available, loads of veggies, mushrooms, tofu, dumplings, noodles, and more. It’s easy to get overwhelmed.
After you order, you should take a moment to hit up the sauce and side bar. They have a mix of sauces, salads, kimchi, a few desserts, some fruit…
