    So good!!  Couldn't finish it but I really tried!
    Jennifer W.

    Everything! I haven't eaten in over 10 years since moving to Virginia and it's exactly as I remembered. Don't skip the Crispy Pad Thai - it's my favorite and the only place you can get it (trust me I've looked lol)

    Been going here for years and love it. However last couple times I've gone it hasn't lived up to expectations. Got take out chicken pad Thai and the carrots and bean sprouts were wilting and slightly brown. Quite disappointing because I know they're better than this.

    To all the parents wanting to eat Thai food, Bangkok Bistro has an amazing kid's menu! Service was excellent; the waitress even predicted what our kids would want. "Noodles rather than rice, is that what you would like?" in response to my picky 3 year old saying she didn't want rice. "An addition coloring sheet with the word search on it?" For the 7 year old, yes, please. Even a perfect table by the window in which they could amuse themselves with the people and cars going by. Oh and the crispy paad Thai is found no where else on the city. Prefect night out with the crazy kiddos!

    I love this restaurant. Excellent Chinese or Thai food- I regularly order the Indonesian fried rice. Lots of chunky vegetables and excellent sauce. Service is always great and the restaurant is bigger than you'd think- there's almost always open tables!

    Our visit here was pretty spontaneous. We wanted to try a nearby burger place that actually was not open yet. I had been eyeing the Mediterranean place nearby so when my friend wanted Asian, I didn't have a chance to check them on Yelp before we came in. I think the 3.5 stars this place currently has is a touch underrated. I can't speak as to the authenticity of the menu and its Thai-ness or Asian-ness, but I think if you come here hungry with an open mind for general flavorful food, you won't be disappointed. The place doesn't look fancy or anything, so I wouldn't come if you're trying to impress a date, but things are clean and nicely spaced out. I got to try my classic favorite go-to Thai plate, the drunken noodles, as well as some of the duck curry. The drunken noodles for whatever reason come with only chicken and shrimp. And the entire dish is plentiful. The shrimp are jumbo sized so with just 4 shrimp in the dish (yes, I counted), it's still plenty of shrimp. I typically prefer pork or beef but it was well-cooked tasty protein. I chose a spice level of 6 and I think it was perfect. Nothing that assaults your mucous membranes, just a constant tingling burn as you eat. The duck was absolutely amazing. I can see why some people might be turned off by the skin of the duck but it's a bit like eating pork belly, some people don't like the fattiness. The meat tastes like a chicken thigh that is more fresh and I think that's what people mean by gamey? And the curry just takes it to a whole another level. I think we humans should eat duck more often. Maybe if the skin was crisped and the fat rendered, Americans would be more for it. The food was plentiful, the service was kind and quick, and there's little fanfare. The prices seem a little high but you don't find yourself hungry when you get home, and some people I'm sure will have leftovers. It's really what you look for in a fast straightforward Asian restaurant. Don't be snobby and I think you'll enjoy great flavors here.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh--from the meats to the vegetables to the noodles. You could tell right away that quality matters here. The selection was generous and thoughtfully curated, with fantastic options that made it hard to stop at just one round (or two... or three). The broths were flavorful without being overpowering, and the dipping sauces let you customize every bite exactly how you want it. It was one of those meals where you keep saying, "Okay, just one more scoop." On top of the food, the atmosphere was great--clean, lively, and perfect for sitting back and enjoying the experience without feeling rushed. It felt both fun and relaxed, which isn't always easy to pull off with an all-you-can-eat setup. If you're looking for fresh ingredients, tons of variety, and a genuinely enjoyable dining experience, K Town BBQ and Hotpot is a must-try. We'll definitely be back--and probably hungry just thinking about it again.

Our waiter was brand spanking new and freaking out with everything. Everytime we ran out of meat with grilling the plate would burn for a while til our waiter would come back and it would be burnt super burnt and smoky. It seemed like a great place to bring your family but I didn't really have a great experience there.

We planned to order off of their lunch menu, and split a bowl of noodles for her birthday. Chinese tradition is to eat noodles on birthdays, so we asked the server what she recommended. She told us they actually offer complimentary birthday noodles! We were so surprised; we'd never heard of anywhere doing that before. We ordered the Twice-Cooked Pork Lunch, Fish with Chili Bean Sauce Lunch, and the Birthday Noodles. With lunch, we were allowed to select an egg roll, egg drop soup, or hot and sour soup. We both opted for the hot and sour soup. Even without the complimentary noodles, this meal was incredibly well-priced at $10.99 per lunch special. High quality dishes with plenty of meat and fresh vegetables. The noodles were simple but larger than expected, well-cooked, and delicious. My mom raved about this place. She hasn't had quality Chinese food at that price in a long time, and is telling all of our family members that we should go back when they're in town. It wasn't very busy, but we hope it was just the weather. Hopefully lots of people are supporting them! We can't wait to go back.

The sleek, modern décor makes it feel both stylish and inviting. Since it's still new, it was quite busy with plenty of people eager to check it out. We expected a wait, and sure enough, there was one. The only downside is that the front area isn't designed for waiting -- there's just a small bench and not much space to stand without being in the way. The staff, however, were attentive and worked quickly to seat everyone. We were initially told the wait would be 45 minutes and were about to leave, but as we turned to go, they let us know it had dropped to 20-30 minutes, so we decided to stay. Right before being seated, we learned that everyone at the table needs to choose either the Kpot or BBQ option. We weren't familiar with how it worked, so we went with BBQ. Once seated, it felt a bit overwhelming at first -- the booths are very large! I'm on the shorter side, so I found it a little difficult to get comfortable since I had to lean forward quite a bit to reach the table. The food itself was okay -- tasty to me but not outstanding -- I think I just got impatient with the grilling. The prices were on the higher side. Still, the overall experience was exciting and fun.

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot offers an "all-you-can-eat" dining experience in which customers cook their own food at the table. Guests can choose between Korean BBQ, hot pot, or both, and then order a variety of raw meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles via iPad. Standing buffet seems sparse, and do rely on ipad and servers to bring a variety of noodles, veggies, rice, broths, meats, and seafood to your table for cooking. Tanya was our very informed server who talked very fast, but learn by experience was our task. Nicely remolded property which permitted a few parent with screaming children to cause us regret at selecting a lunch. Kpot has the potential of being a nice date night location - depends on screaming children who are in attendance. Travel tip, there is another Asian buffet on Kingsridge Drive. We like the newness of the property, the menu, the service, the food, and the overall experience. Kpot seems to be doing a thriving business, and this is a small chain.
