KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot Reviews

Came here on August 29, 2022 at 7:34 PM with a group of three and we were seated right away. I was surprised because there's usually a long line like last time we waited twenty minutes which is alright too! On the two separate nights, we had Malik and Sabrina as our servers. They were very attentive and super friendly. They checked on us from time to time to change our grill, get new food items, and refill our drinks. Around the sauce bar, there are bowls and utensils. They were clean and the staff were consistently refilling the sauces and bringing out clean items. Staff also informs everyone in the surrounding area of a "hot grill" to prevent harm and injuries. However, front desk receptionists should be more professional when addressing wait times instead of putting an index finger up to signal a wait time which just seems rude and off putting. Food was great though.

We had the all you can eat hot pot. Wow they had so many options for proteins Kobe beef,pork,and beef tongue. Soo good. If you want sea food they have you covered from shrimp to squid even lobster. If you are a vegan they have plenty of options too. All the meats and produce are fresh & delicious. If you want to have an alcoholic drink with your friends I suggest the red wine sangria it goes down easy!

Very good experience...it was a little different for me. But our waitress was wonderful. The buffet is $28.99(dinner time hrs.) this is for the korean bbq only and if you get added items Kpot included it goes up from there. It was definitely an experience. Take a look at the pictures. Also, they had a sauce bar with all kinds of sauces and they also had fruit & jello. This place was A ok and I highly recommend it.

Pretty amazing food and great service. One of the best All you can eat KBBQ and Hotpot restaurants around. We have been here at least 2x now.
Restaurant: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Food: 5/5
Parking: Limited (free) parking especially on weekends. But plenty of parking across the street outside the mall.
-Restaurant-
The restaurant itself is pretty big, there's always K-pop music playing if you are Kpop fan. The restaurant has option to order drinks and specialty cocktails (even while you're waiting for a table). For the most part, the restaurant is very clean as well as the tables and chairs. Except the bathroom situation, could be cleaner.
This restaurant does not offer Reservations unless you have a big group, which requires security deposits.
-Service-
During our recent visit, our waitress (Nikki) is very friendly. Never once interrupted us experience. It can be troublesome for guests when KBBQ restaurant waitress just start cooking for you as if they are rushing to get you out the door. But Nikki only came back to change the grill and check if we needed anything else, very professional.
NOTE: They will offer to cook for you, if it is your first time and you do not feel comfortable in cooking it yourself or burn your food.
-Food-
It is all you can eat KBBQ or Hotpot or both. We decided to go with KBBQ only since it is quite warm outside, I recommend only trying hotpot if it is cold outside. In terms of the menu. there's plenty of selections. Their beef bulgogi is our absolute favorite (Had to order that twice), extremely flavorful and tender.
On top of the items you can order off the menu, there's also a sauce bar where you can try different sauces for any non-marinated cuts of beef, pork or any seafood items.
NOTE: Also keep in mind, before you go order everything off the menu, they will charge for extra for any excess food you do not finish to avoid food waste. And there is 2 hour dining limit.
Overall it's always great experience visiting this restaurant, highly recommended if you want to try or crave KBBQ and Hotpot.

Great place to go if you want to splurge on a fresh, fast service, good service meal(Staff very friendly, courtesy, and helpful). The all you can eat Dinner includes everything except drinks. The drinks are kind of pricey so be careful when ordering. With the amount of food you get you might just want to go with water. Just so your not weighed down with sugar(soda), beer, or alcohol. The menu is the largest I have seen for this type of restaurant. The all you can eat is great because you can order your go to items plus try new items and not worry about wasting money on something you might not like. They also will refill you Hot Pot broth at no extra charge (Just ask for more). For the price take the family out and just enjoy the experience.

One of our absolute favorite restaurants; I have never been disappointed. The price for all you can eat is reasonably in line with all other similar places; however, kpot has one of the largest selections of meats and other dishes that I have personally seen. The service is always quick and the staff is always courteous! I can't see how someone wouldn't enjoy their time here!

Been here many times and I always leave feeling like it wasn't worth how much I paid for. The good meats you have to pay extra for on top of the fact that there was a price increase. The last time I went about 2 weeks ago is the last time I will be going. They forgot to bring out a few meats that I asked for. There is a time limit for how long you can stay.
Decor: Nice and modern.
Parking: Free and parking lot.
Food: Just okay, there's better out there.
Would I come back? No, at this point of giving them so many chances, I wouldn't come back and recommend. It's honestly overrated.

Oh my God... I really loved this place. It had such nice environment with perfect songs and the waiter we had, Jin, was one of the best I ever knew ... He was very polite and informative. We went again just because of the environment and food there! They have a huge variety of foods and BBQ which is all in the same cost. We'll have around 2 hours to pleasantly chit chat and enjoy the food and also to get to know more details and traditions about food.
