First time trying Jpot and loved it better then any other hot pot in San Antonio! Great food and amazing service, our server Sara was absolutely awesome! Great cocktails as well, zero complaints here. read more

First off, idk why this place is rated what it is cause it's great all around! Upon entering we were greeted immediately and asked if we were military (discount) which we appreciate them asking us instead of us telling them. Our server Krayon was very attentive, kept things organized, and was personable. I appreciate how he kept our drinks and table filled at all times. I love that there was a hot buffet with fried rice, tempura, gyoza, spring rolls, etc. ready for us to snack on while we waited for our hot pot and meats to be delivered to our table. I also had fun creating and mixing my own sauces at the sauce bar. The bulgogi and garlic miso meats were the best imo, I enjoyed the tonkatsu broth for my hot pot. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to come back! read more

Went yesterday and it was absolutely awful. We went around 1 in the afternoon and we all got hot pot. The broth was watery and had zero flavor . They were out of ramen noodles and now they pick your vegetables which is crazy. There was also alot of flys near all the stuff to make sauce they need to get some of those fly fans to keep them away from that area . The topper was when the waitress came over and said she whoever that was wanted to charge you for dinner but I charged you for lunch!! I'm sorry WHAT? Why would I ever pay for dinner when we sat down around 1 and we're done way before three because it was so disgusting !!! Terrible read more

Jpot Bbq - Hot Pot Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We have been here several times before, ambiance was great. Service was great, but salad bar was lacking. A few of our favorites like the sesame balls were not available. We got 3 shrimp for 2 people. (All u can eat) read more

Service was awesome, helped explain how to order and gave good suggestions. Food was really good, was my first time and will go back. Weekends are all day dinner which costs more but that's typical. Got to try several items and loved it all. Used healthy herbs base for the jpot and that soup was amazing and I am not a big soup fan but always willing to try something new. Are 3/4 of the pot of soup. I so wanted more but I was stuffed. I highly recommend this place and my waitress Fenny was very sweet and attentive without feeling like she was pestering the whole meal and made sure all was going well throughout the meal and ready to bring me more. So try something different. Pick your meats and visit the sauce bar and get going. Let you soup cook while you go visit the appetizer bar. There is a desert cooler but I was way too stuffed to even think about it lol. Very nicely decorated and quiet and it was a very enjoyable dinner. read more

I was there earlier with my family, it was our first time there... I'm really disappointed because we had bbq and j pot so I kept asking for more ramen noodles for the pot and they kept saying they ordered more but I never got them, after 4 times asking for my ramen I gave up and they take forever to bring you the meats Really bad service I spend over $100 for 2 people for a bad service read more

We went while they're still doing the soft opening and the service and the waiters definitely need to learn how to provide good customer service. The servers are really young so I get it, but they should be trained to provide more of an experience and not just say here's the menu. Here's what you can get. Now eat They need to train all of the servers to stop chitchatting and gossiping in the corner in front of customers about their daily lives or whatever it just seems very unprofessional. But overall, I would go back and try it whenever they get better at what they're doing the food we has was fresh and good. The ambiance is pretty cool. I really like the inside of the place. read more

Been here a two times and each time the meat quality has not improved. Pieces are super chewy and thick and hard to eat. Inconsistent, young, and inattentive staff. Went by today to try to give them a third and final try, because I would love to love a hot pot place nearby, and they've had months to get it together. Unfortunately for us, posted signs said doors open at 11am but doors remained locked. Waited until 11:15 and business still not open. Even gave them a call and no one answered. Husband stated he saw staff inside with aprons as he was walking around with our antsy and hungry 2 year old. Terrible. Unfortunate that we have to "settle" just because no one else has opened anything similar in the area. YET. read more

The food (meat) was bland and tough. No flavor whatsoever. Having served 12 years in south Korea JPOT is not even close to Korean BBQ. Met a great friend there based on Location convenience and we were all disappointed. The server was great bur the place wasn't worth the $150 it cost to feed 3 people. The meat wasn't even cut right. It was cut in much a way that made it tough. The filler looked like a round blob of rear end meat. Just not happy with the food and we don't go back. read more

So happy this place landed here. It was long awaited. Got a variety of beef. Was a great grilling experience. We will be returning.

Absolutely delicious! I went here for lunch and had so much fun cooking with the grill and the hot pots. The meat was great quality and delicious. The pork belly was my favorite, but I ordered pretty much one of every meat and enjoyed at all. The ambiance is very nice and our server took great care of us! read more

The hostess was nice. But upon trying to start our order they were out of regular Sake only had two flavored choices, okay so we were down to try the flavored ones... nope they were out of Kirin Ichiban beer as well. Can't really have a sake bomb without the beer. We then ask for a cocktail menu, the server says it's easier if he just gives us his tablet.. the drinks only have the names on there no drink description, so is that easier for us as customers or you as a server so you don't have to go get a menu? Also says on the tablet they are 86 on a bunch of other cocktails. Okay so we take the sign maybe we shouldn't drink here. He tells us the entire table has to choose if we want the hot pots as well or just the bbq, we cannot have just two out of four with hot pots. Okay we are deciding to just all do the dinner BBQ , but looking at the grill in front of us and there's still leftover meat on the sides of the grill from the last table. The restrooms were also filthy, toilets not flushed, floor was gross and sink not kept up with. No thank you, we got up and left. This was our first time here, not a good first impression. read more

Don't eat here, never have eaten lower quality meat. Think like 10 days past Walmart clearance - they shouldn't be serving this to people

We went there March 1st for my kids birthdays. 3 times I asked if they could sing " Happy Birthday" no one seems to care. The waiter left us alone, only came to apologize. 30 min wait for a water refill. Pho and no noodles until I had to ask. I'll rather take my business to another place. read more

Great service and explanation. The salad bar was a bit slow on replenishing things but stayed clean most of the time. The decoration at the front of the restaurant is nice with the cherry blossoms. read more

I'm still sitting here and had to stop and write this before I forgot. The meat is tough and hard to chew. Which is crazy seeing it's been marinating. It lacks flavor. The broth for the hot pot broth lacks so much flavor you should just bring a ramen seasoning pack from home. I probably would have never tried this place had my son not wanted to try it. The service was good that's about it. read more

Nice place to go and cook your own food. Price is a little high, but you do get a lot of choices. I didn't like the soup so that was a waste for me. But the cooking center area with the open flames was fun and adds to the meal and ambiance of the experience. Service was a little lacking and slow to get drinks refilled but we were a large group so we didn't mind too much. I would definitely go again but probably only with my spouse and for the cooking part. Not for the soup. read more

Nicole our waitress was amazing and very attentive she mad r our first experience there very fun and comfortable

The food is nothing to brag about. Compared to somewhere like Kpot here in San Antonio this is definitely the lower tier of quality when it comes to Korean BBQ. read more

Food was good but our server didn't give us the time of day. Maybe we'll try again someday?

the manager( Chris I believe his name was )doesn't know what he's doing I was there during what looked like the whole restaurant was empty and he still had us wait .. a server came to the front and I heard her ask for us to be seated and that there shouldn't be a wait ! He in turn said in a rude tone you can stay in the back as if they was not just trying to put us (the customer ) first before whatever he was doing We ended up getting seated with Jay she was fantastic 5 stars for her and the food ... IF YOU EAT HERE ASK FOR JAY she was wonderful read more

Jpot Bbq - Menu while waiting for a table - Hot Pot Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First time trying a restaurant like this for lunch & it was not too busy. Price is reasonable, choose up to 6 meats and no limit on veggies. Prepare your self as there is also a small buffet to get different sauces and side dishes before or during the time you cook your food. Our waitress was amazing, attentive, helpful, and sharing the details for the official grand opening next Thursday Oct 17th at 5 pm. Will definitely come back to bring the family for the experience of it. read more

Tonight we decided to give J Pot a try, and the experience was underwhelming. The staff, though friendly, appeared very young and inexperienced. Our waiter explained the two menu options--grill and hotpot--and mentioned a $5 upcharge if we wanted to combine both. We went ahead with it. While waiting, we tried the warm bar for some pre-dinner snacks, which were actually quite good. However, things went downhill from there. The tonkatsu broth, which is central to the hotpot experience, was lackluster and completely devoid of flavor. Though it was filling (as ramen and soup often are), it was hardly enjoyable. We did not stay for the grill. I would have much rather had the grill first and the soup last. Now I feel like I've been scammed. What was most disappointing was the price. We ended up paying $30+ each for what essentially felt like a glorified Maruchan ramen meal with minimal ingredients. The pricing strategy does not seem justified based on the quality or portions, and I can't see the value in returning for what felt like an overpriced and underwhelming meal. read more

Pretty good food, I like it better than some of the others I've tried. Nice spice bar read more

Note: This was their soft opening review. I dropped by Jpot on their soft opening night hoping to try out this new restaurant by my house. I've been waiting for months for them to open. I was very excited because of familiarity with AYCE bbq and hot pot's restaurants and hoping to have a good experience. Unfortunately my experience didn't meet up to my standards. I'm hoping to come back and give them another opportunity because I hope it was just because they just opened and working out the kinks of the business. Since it was their soft opening, there was a long wait which I didn't mind. During my wait the manager offered me to sit with another family at a table and I declined. He said I would have to wait another 45 minutes if I didn't sit with them and I still declined. I genuinely like my own privacy at my own table and feel uncomfortable sitting too closely to others especially while eating. I felt really pressured to share a table but I continued to decline the offer. When we were finally seated, the server introduced herself and told us all about our options. I expected them to be missing items but they were missing a lot of different items that I was looking for. I could tell she felt bad about it and I reassured her it was okay. Once we ordered we went over to the ready to eat area and sauce area. The ready to eat area wasn't really impressive at all. Their main focus was clearly the hotpot and bbq. We went back to our table and continued to wait for our first order of hot pot. It took 30 minutes for our first order to come out. Take in mind, I wouldn't mind this because they were busy but the menu clearly states we only have 90 minutes to eat and if it's going to take 30 minutes each time for an order we weren't going to be able to truly enjoy ourselves especially since were restricted into ordering only three items. While we were waiting for our food servers continued to hover over us, which was uncomfortable. I didn't mind our own server coming to help us but it seemed like all the servers were looking for work to do. One even came up to us and asked if they could take anything away before we ever received any food. Another continuously came back and said they were looking for stuff to do. It seemed the back of house seemed super busy and understaffed trying to get orders out and the front door house servers were looking for work and hovering. After 30 minutes we finally received our order of Tom yum soup and our meats and noodles. The portions were smaller than I expected but we just ended up dumping everything into our pot and putting in another order immediately. By the time the next order came we were ready and our pots were empty. We continued to do the same throughout the night. We paid 93.22 which was two AYCE hot pots and two sodas and tip. Was it worth it? Not really. Our server was nice and she tried her best but the soft opening clearly demonstrated they need to work out a lot of things. We also ended up sick that night and the next day. Both of us are still recovering from extremely upset stomachs from the food. Im hoping this was due to how we cooked the food and not the quality but at this point I don't know because the meat came out to us warm. Overall it was a tough night for Jpot and their staff. I don't know when I'll be back but if I do come back I hope it's better because $100 dinner is a lot for mediocre food that makes you sick. read more

First time there and once we were aware the bar(veggies,etc) were included in the all you can eat price, my daughter and I went start to it.

1/9/26- bad overall experience. I wanted to love it so bad . It was suppose to be amazing 1st time experience for a family of 5 . First , we had to wait 30 minutes which is fine . The hostess asked me for my kids age . My youngest is 6 . She said to me " oh he eats free" I was like "oh that's nice ." We proceed to table & waiter didn't really explain anything well . I saw on other reviews that they had amazing waitstaff that explained things for people who are visiting for the 1st time . We did our best & made it through the menu . Next we got our meat and attempted to cook it on the grill . It was horrible !! All our meat burned ! Tasted absolutely awful & unedible . It was not that we don't know how to cook either my husband & I are experts on the grill . However the mini grill burns right of way , it's not a good quality . The fire was uneven . I asked waiter what is going on ? Everything burnt right of the jump . fire is uneven . He said let me bring u a new grill . & same thing ! The food burned & yes we know how to grill. we did NOT just put it directly on the hottest part of the fire ! It was costly and we couldn't even eat the food . The ramen was okay to be fair , however very little options for veggies . It hurt to pay the bill because I left absolutely disappointed & hungry . I'll insert a pic of my bill & food . Please be cautious, in all fairness they did ask me in the beginning if I would like them to cook it for me . However , I decided against it because that was suppose to be the point of the whole cook experience. So unhappy unfortunately. Save your coins ! read more

Price to the food quality is wild. The waiters discourage you from ordering "too much." Which is wild because if I am paying over $400 for a party of 8 to include my babies (2 and 3years old) I should be able to at least get my moneys worth especially when you are getting a gratuity tip. read more

My husband and I got to try Jpot for the first time on the 5th of November. We went at lunchtime which was perfect. We were greeted as we walked through the front doors and immediately seated. Our waiter Nate who's in this picture gave us impeccable service. From explaining the menu, giving his recommendations, ensuring our drinks were refilled before we even could asked. The food was incredible. So many sauces, toppings and more. The atmosphere was clean and elegant. We can't wait to go back. read more

We dined for lunch the meat options were massive although not all were for lunch, but a great selection. When we entered there were two hosts that were prompt and got us seated right away. Our server was so attentive as soon as we were coming to our last sips a new drink would appear, and when we were thinking of getting a new protein he would be there to take our order. The restaurant is a beautiful addition to Dove creak the interior is beautiful and the whole restaurant is clean. The managers were walking around insuring staff was at work. We will be returning read more
