Dining here is a unique experience. It's the first shabu-shabu I've been to with food on plates via conveyor - kinda like rhose you see in sushi bars. Great food too.

The service is really good. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The place is clean. Eat-all-you-can shabu-shabu. The food is not that great. The sea cucumber is a little gritty. The shrimp is not fresh. There's too much vetsin in their soup. The short orders are a too oily. I left the place feeling dizzy.

Good but not that great. Poor airconditioning and i saw some lil cockroach. Food is nice. Rate 6/10. Next time try to pump up the design, a/c and the loo. All over 6/10.

We decided to have our lunch here in King One. Arrived at the place around 12:00PM on a Saturday and the place offers a lot of parking space which is good considering that it is very hard to find a parking space in Tomas Morato. From being former Yakimix now into King One this branch gives a good service. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The place is clean and tidy. Food choices are still the same with the Macapagal branch. Very thankful with their management since they allowed us to stay until 4:00PM even though they need to close up and clean the place to cater the next batch.

We have this running joke in the family about hot pot. If you have a mother-in-law and/or granny with you, take her to eat at a hot pot place. The make-your-own-soup thing is a crowd-pleaser, especially for the elders in the family, so most grandmas are appeased. For Mother’s Day 2015, the family took my lola (grandmother) to King One Rotary Hot Pot in Tomas Morato.I’m not going to comment much on service as we did go on a special occasion on a Sunday without a reservation. Naturally, the wait list was insanely long and the staff was slammed. There were some orders for hotpot ingredients and a la carte menu items that didn’t arrive at all, but we managed to either follow-up the order or personally retrieve the ingredients from the conveyor. No harm, no foul.Having gone to my fair share of hot pot restaurants, what I distinctly like about King One is the sheer variety of ingredients they have on an order-all-you-can basis. Just the soup base alone is a selection of one or two flavors from ten possible choices: Plain, Satay, Century Egg Wansoy, Spicy Curry, Korean Kimchi, Hong Kong Curry, Thailand Tom Yam, Hong Kong Style Pork, Superior Beef, or Miso. Personally, I would’ve gone for Hong Kong Curry and Tom Yam, but my less-than-adventurous family members voted for Plain and Satay soups instead. The rest of the ingredients, be it seafood, veggies, or meats, were impressively fresh. A selection of ready-to-eat appetizers and drinks were also available.The idea of hot pot used to illicit an irritated groan from me, because the price had always been on a per-ingredient basis. Most of the time, we ended up ordering the same things (fish balls, squid balls, etc.), since each ingredient would be a huge plateful already. Being able to get smaller portions and to, therefore, sample more kinds of ingredients brought excitement back into the fold.There are just two things to remember: First, there are free short orders included. However, the policy on tempura was kind of whack. Regardless of how many members are in a table, there is a certain maximum amount of ebi tempura that can be given out. In our case, a table of five only got four pieces. You could be a table of ten and still get four pieces max. Second, fruits served at the end of the meal are not included to the order-all-you-can. Verdict: For the longest time, I found myself disinterested with hot pot, but King One has changed my mind. I want to come back (of my own volition) to experiment with different soup bases, whether or not family members decide to tag along.

Visited King One in Tomas Morato with my boyfriend for the first time. We used a King One discount card. Upon using the card, we got to ask one of the staff for more cards with a later validity date.King One interiors has nice lighting and since it is relatively new, overall it is pleasant. Service was quick and food attendants were attentive. The place was not exactly filled then eventhough it was dinner time. Just like any shabu-shabu places, we filled out a form for the soup and ingredients we preferred. A must try is their lamb and the cheeseballs (glutinous rice with cheese that melts when hot)! Condiments are a must so you can enjoy the hotpot better.We had no idea how we'd finish the lamb (they served us a lot!) they served us but we managed by trimming any seeming fat we saw.When we were there though, a family encountered a rat that ran under their table! Uhm, yeah that's not ideal...Overall, it was a nice experience. And yes, i will return if I had a craving for a hotpot.

It's my second time to eat here and the food is just so so. Their sliced beef was so thin that as soon as I tried to remove it from the plate,it got scraped off and really wasn't appealing to see since the meat basically just tore apart from being too thin. For their century egg soup base, they will not add more century eggs anymore if you ask for more soup. The tempura sauce was too sweet (tasted like syrup already). The premium beef was good though. If not for family gatherings, I probably wouldn't come back because food is not worth the price in my opinion.

First time to try out king one shabu shabu and my verdict is quite good. The place is spacious and clean. Servers were also attentive and very accommodating. I can say that the veggies and ingredients were fresh. Special mention to the cheese ball? I'm not so sure the name of that specific food but it was heavenly specialy when the cheese was oozing out hot. On the other hand, drinks and fruits selection were quite limited.
