GBQ HOTPOT & BBQ

GBQ Hotpot & BBQ commands a massive footprint on the second floor of Paradigm Mall. Operating from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM on weekdays and extending slightly to 10:00 PM on weekends, this is an all-you-can-eat dual hotpot and BBQ concept built for volume and speed. Diners get exactly 110 minutes to conquer the buffet lines, with staff giving prompt 15-minute warnings before time expires. It operates as a highly efficient, pork-free establishment where cleanliness and organization take priority over fussy decor.

The ordering system keeps the floor moving fast. Diners scan a QR code to order unlimited sliced meats and fresh seafood directly to the table, bypassing messy buffet scrambles. The real draw is the grill station. GBQ pushes its official signature marinades hard, specifically the K-Spicy Signature, Tsubaki Teriyaki, and Mookata Spice. These sauces are engineered to tenderize and glaze the meats perfectly on the tabletop grills. While the meats sizzle, diners can load up on ready-to-eat sides, including a surprisingly well-stocked sushi counter.

Save room for dessert. The undisputed crowd favorite across the board is the DIY bingsu (Korean shaved ice) station, featuring flavors like milk tea to cut through the heavy BBQ grease. Pricing is fiercely competitive. Standard buffet rates start around RM39.90, while weekend adult rates hover near RM51.90 before tax. Deal hunters should circle the 13th of every month on their calendars—GBQ runs a highly popular Buy 3 Free 1 promotion that consistently packs the house.
