What a cool spot! My wife and I stopped off last week for lunch and decided to try something new…read moreout. What a great call!!! Our waitress was Connie, and she rocked! She walked us through the process to cook at our table, walked us through the sauce bar and even made us some of the absolute best dipping sauce for our meal!!! I legit could have drank the stuff, it was that good!!!! We cooked up several different steak selections, some chicken and even tried some brisket. Everything was awesome, and Connie kept checking in on us to make sure we did not get overwhelmed or confused. We are already planning a return with the family to try it out again (and may try to sneak out a gallon of whatever that dipping sauce Connie made us!).

What a unique experience!! I was very skeptical because I've…read morebeen pretty disappointed at places where I have to cook my own meal in the past. At least KPOT makes it fun! You choose either a soup broth or the grill or both. (If you choose to do both, the whole table has to pay an extra five dollars per head, even if you only choose one or the other per person.) I'm sure they get tired of explaining to first time visitors, but it definitely felt rushed and unexplained. A few basic recipes or pairings to give you something to start with would be really nice for a first timer! The sauce bar is where it's at! Make sure you make a great fresh. For example, try: Soy sauce, the K-pop sauce, something a little sweet with the Sesame oil. Sesame paste, peanut paste, cilantro, garlic, a little bit of vinegar and Sesame seeds. Or whatever combo you love! This one was fire!! Ultimately, our favorite was the grill and all the different meats! Put the veggies in the broth were delicious too! It's so hard to choose!

Really enjoyed my experience at Chingu!…read more The brussel sprouts, which came in a sweet savory sauce. They were cooked very nicely and had great texture and flavor. The tofu was amazing, it had a great light breadcrumb like texture, and was soft and delicious. I well say the dish tasted amazing but a dipping sauce would've really elevated the dish to the next level. The chicken wings were great as well, they had a sweet glaze on the outside with a light crunch to the skin. Perfectly cooked! The drinks were a bit hit and miss but I enjoyed the Take Two and the had a nice variety of foreign beers and some good local beers. Our waiter/ bartender was awesome, he was super patient and guided us to some great options on the menu. I look forward to going back and trying more of the menu!

We enjoyed HH kimchi fries, HH sliders, LA Galbi, Korean Fried Chicken, and pork belly--all winners. We also enjoyed soju in white grape, grapefruit, strawberry, and plum. Our group was split between plum and strawberry as our favorites. Service was patient and courteous in person. Customer service over email was helpful, though a bit informal. Environment is charming and modern. Music was good!

I decided on various options for my bowl. Everything tasted wonderful and it was a good size bowl and I couldn't even finish it. The restaurant is casual and actually, I was the only one that stayed to eat. I noticed they mostly have to go orders when I was there. The only thing they could improve on is that it was quite cold inside the restaurant and some of the tables needed to be wiped off. But other than that, it was a great place to eat.

I love the beef bowl with the sweet potato noodles. This place will be my regular rotation while I'm in the Kansas City area.

Time for the daiji bulgogi and the samgyeopsal. 2 dishes I really enjoy. Spicy pork is something I can't have often when my hubby is with me because he can't eat it. The two dishes were perfect. Steamed egg was an additional cost that was good as well, maybe a tiny bit overcooked, but the flavor was perfect. I'm used to steamed egg being more of a custard texture, but I still enjoyed this version. Servers were easy to flag down when needed. Unfortunately no bossam...oh well. This definitely hit the spot. I would come back!

It s in a cool old building, there's a vault door that leads to the kitchen, and a large skylight over the bar and dining area with hanging plants. The Korean fried chicken is so good, I loved the dry rubbed ones the best, might actually be on the list of best fried chicken I have had. The Crab Rangoon was absolutely fantastic as well. I had Spicy BBQ Pork & Rice Cakes for my entree and asked for it to be extra spicy, a menu option, but found it rather bland, it lacked any of big bold character that I usually associate with Korean, however my experience with Korean food is rather limited especially compared to other Asian cuisines so I'll be reserving judgement on that dish. Overall great place to be, the service was top notch, and those Crab Rangoon and KFC wings were amongst the finest examples I have had of those items. This is on my list of restaurants to drag my wife to.

Better than expected!…read more There was only 1 server working that day, but service was still relatively fast. We came in for lunch and ordered the bibimbop with spicy pork, hot tea, and spicy tofu soup. The bibimbop with spicy pork was flavorful and hearty. The spicy tofu soup came hot, was filling and came with a side of rice. The hot tea was comforting and soothing on the stomach, but scalding when first served. Nice interior with a skylight and greenery. There was an older movie playing on the side that was entertaining. Prices are on the higher end for the dishes offered, but with the small Asian population in the area it's understandable and the flavors were good. Would recommmend.

So like Joe K said, it's great to see more Korean chicken places in the Kansas City area. (S)KFC is…read moreamazing - the crispness of the chicken, the fantastic sauces. It's special. I'm excited just thinking about it. But oh man was I hoping for better. And I think this place could get there, if they can change some things. Joyce and Brandy laid it out well, so I'll just echo some main points: - The food could be better. Apparently it has been before. What I saw felt pretty low effort, the crispiness wasn't there. (South) Korean Fried Chicken is amazing because even with those delicious sauces, the chicken stays crispy. Best of both worlds! These wings were soggy. I didn't feel great after eating the meal. It wasn't ideal. - The service was nonexistent. I came up to the human at the counter, who directed me not to talk to her but to put in my order on the screen to the side. I hate these. I hate them so much. The UX on the terminal was clunky, the navigation in particular was so bad that there were whole sections of the menu that seemed to be missing. I now know to swipe left on the headers to scroll right to a second page of root-level categories, but be honest, just reading that in a sentence is confusing and annoying. Some people may like kiosks. That's fine! But mandating them is awkward and obnoxious. - I'm still on the service. There's a big menu. There are paper menus. There are little signs advertising fun looking items. I already know what I want. It is so much easier and more enjoyable to order with a real human and get their help. Why put the added friction of learning a clunky interface? An employee would be fluent in the system even if it's bad. And if my case is any indication, it's not helping their sales. I would totally have ordered more dishes if I'd known that was an option. It just looked like they were out so it wasn't available. - After putting in the order, I was prompted for a tip for the service. Which just felt like a coup de grace to my psyche. - It felt like there was no heart here. That's probably an ownership issue. I'm sympathetic to a point, it's not easy in general and there's a lot of pressure to cut costs (especially with the tariff arsonist disrupting supply chains). But the vibe here was dismal, you could feel it in the food and the staff. The space itself seems set up well to have large groups and good times. Could be a fun spot. But right now, the impression I get is that aside from the wings the kitchen does a lot of prepackaged instant food. So I'm not sure what they're trying to be - a decent wing place, or more of a fast-food/gas station type of spot. A vending machine with a deep fryer. Like I said before, this place has potential to be great if they can change some things. They're just going to have to want to. I'm rooting for them.
