    This was a different and fun date night! But I would definitely expect to leave a little smelly. The atmosphere is fun, casual, and modern. The service was decent, pretty hands off. I felt like we had to motion to get our servers attention quite a bit to refill waters, etc. The food was good, be sure to check on the sauce/appetizer station because that's where they have the seasoning for all your foods. Will probably come back and try again!

    I first checked out KPOT for my friend's birthday, and we had a wonderful time! We waited about 30 minutes for a table since we had a big group. Definitely get here early on a weekend night! We started by checking out the buffet of desserts and sides--French fries, fried sesame red bean balls (my favorite), oranges, small cakes, and a build-your-own-sauce station including soy sauce/kimchi/ponzu/chili oil and more. Your whole table can choose either hot pot OR BBQ and if you want both hot pot and BBQ, you pay a few extra dollars. After ordering a soup broth base, we ordered items with the tablet. They limit you to ordering a maximum number of items at a time, which makes sense so you don't end up with a bunch of food leftover. You can't bring the leftover food home, so only order what you can eat! It was fun to have your own individual hot pot to cook the meat, vegetables, tofu, and seafood and they have a HUGE variety of items to add into the hot pot. I like how the pot doesn't get super hot to the touch, so it was safe for my daughter to cook her own food. My seafood broth was good, but I loved my daughter's golden broth that came with goji berries and jujubes. For your birthday, the waiters come out singing happy birthday and holding up a "Happy Birthday to you!" sign which was so much fun!

    KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot is a large, lively spot built for interactive, group dining. We came for a weekend lunch with our daughter and her boyfriend. Plenty of seating and a friendly host who walked us through the menu. You choose between Korean BBQ, Chinese-style hot pot, or a combo of both. Lunch and dinner menus are available all day, with the dinner option unlocking more premium (and pricier) ingredients. We went with the dinner combo to try everything--fun, but expensive. Hot Pot: Four broths were brought to the table. I chose Tom Yum, which was well spiced and packed with flavor. Others had Miso and Golden Chicken, both solid but milder. Ingredients included shrimp, shaved beef, fish, bok choy, garlic, onion, spinach, radish, rice cakes, and fish cakes. We added udon noodles at the end to finish the soup. Korean BBQ: Beef and chicken bulgogi were good, with tasty short ribs and grilled pork belly as highlights. Grilled veggies (onion, peppers, bok choy, mushrooms) and rice were included. Lettuce wraps available. Sides & sauces: Self-serve sauce and side station with kimchi, spring rolls, and condiments. Decent selection, though I was hoping for more variety (noodles, potato salad, egg pancake, more kimchi styles). Bottom line: My first hot pot experience and I enjoyed it, but the price felt high for how much we ate without fully using the all-you-can-eat aspect. Best with a group, and probably more fun at night. Not ideal for long conversations since you're constantly cooking and ordering. 3.75 stars.

    The service was pretty good, the food was served quickly, and the portions were generous.

    We have been waiting for this location to open for quite some time now! This place is definitely more spacious compared to the other one. We were able to meet the manager, he seems like a great dude and was overall excited to help us out. Food was pretty standard, it's what you would expect from an AYCE KBBQ and hot pot. They had a good selection. It was a bit of a wait for our broths to come out (we didn't come at a super busy time but we were at the back corner). Other than that, it was just okay. I've had better KBBQ but it's decent for buffet.

    Grill options for dinner

    I have been waiting and anticipating this Kpot location opening for months. And while I'm excited we have something this good to West St. Louis county, my first experience was rather disappointing. The service was mixed between good and so so. My family and I arrived around 6pm Friday so I expected a wait time. It was supposed to be 25 mins wait but we got our table in 10' ish. The decor inside are great, especially the lighting. After this, the dinner experience was just so so. Our server couldn't turn on the grill so we had to wait for someone to come by. There were no banchan (side dishes) like kimchi, etc. I honestly was shock that there was no kimchi. Never been to a Korean bbq with no kimchi. The dinner price is high $30.99/person and to me it was incomplete and so much need to improve.

    We stopped here for a weekday dinner and were seated quickly! The atmosphere inside is very cute with lots of lighting. Lots of seating areas for varying party sizes as well! We came so with a large party of 8, so to be seated quickly was a great surprise. I will note that They do not do reservations and there is a 2 hour time limit for eating, so take that into consideration when you are waiting for your whole party. The hostess as the front was kind enough to let me know of that limit, so I could wait for the rest of our party to arrive before they started the timer. Our server was very kind, he got our drinks out to us quickly and offered sides of rice and additional soup bowls. Our table opted to do both the Korean bbq and hot pot and he was very helpful in resolving some issues we had with some duplicate hot pot broths our party ordered not making it to the table, despite having been ordered on the tablet in the correct quantities. From the time of ordering on the tablet, it took less to an a minute for the sides and meats to start coming out. Given how large our party was, I was happy with the selection of both hot pot and kbbq items we could choose from! Lots of options for everybody and the portions sizes were consistent. The flavors were good as well. I will say that the table for 8 people had 8 hot pot burners, but only one kbbq burner at one end of the table. This meant the people at one end of the table were unfortunately left with doing all the cooking and passing down to the other end. For the cost of paying the surcharge for both hot pot and kbbq, it would have been nice to have bbq grills on both ends of the table, so both sets of 4 people would be able to enjoy cooking their own meats. Overall, it was good food and a great way to eat and chat!

    Me and my mom went there one Saturday back in March. I feel terrible for not leaving the review right after we left, but we were in such high spirits after such a great experience and sleepy Lol!! Our waitress Hannah left a great impression, and was kind and respectful the whole time! It was a bit packed that day, but setting was really cool! Our first time trying Hot Pot, and after a few slip ups we enjoyed ourselves with the delicious meats and veggies! It would be perfect for Winter time-will pan a trip during g the holidays this year! We plan to come back soon to try out the Korean BBQ during the Summer! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

    Very busy when we arrived. They estimated a 50 minute wait but we only waited 30 minutes. This is like a buffet but they bring your choices to your table for a flat price per person. You can choose K Pot or BBQ or both. We went with the BBQ only. They give you a tablet to place your choices. My recommendation is start slow on your choices and see what you like. You can reorder as many times as you want. For dinner you have a two hour time limit. You need to eat everything you order or they will limit how much you can order. They do this to greatly reduce waste and cost. We liked the Prime Beef Brisket, Beef Bulgogi, Pork Belly and Garlic Chicken. They didn't have the high end beef options like filet mignon, ny strip, ribeye, ... We received good service. Our waitress was extremely busy. Make sure you check out the spice bar for dipping and fruit slices for a variety of tastes and textures. There's a huge parking lot encircling the restaurant. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it.

    Hot Pot
    Jim H.

    They just opened a week ago and we wanted to try it out. It sounded like a combo of Mongolian, Melting Pot, and Brazilian but with Korean ingredients. Not too far off. Basically there's two choices. BBQ where they bring you meats, seafood, and veggies and you cook it on a hot lid like grill. Or Hot Pot where you have a soup base also kept hot on your table. And you order meats veggies noodles to add to your soup. And if you can't decide like us, do both and pay an extra $5. It was worth it for us. My wife enjoyed the Hot Pot and I enjoyed both but more so the BBQ. It's also all you can eat. Lunch (before 4p) is about $10 less but there are some options not available. We will be going back.

    Kpot is fun family style food. The ambience is more like a nightclub with neon lighting, nice leather gray interior for the seats full bar and lots of space for family and friends. When it comes to the menu one hot pot or one Korean barbecue is enough for two people. If you have different flavor, spice profiles, definitely just get spice on the side as the hot pots are for the spicier individuals. There's a wide variety of proteins. I personally enjoyed the octopus and brisket. This is an all you can eat style restaurant so do not let your eyes get bigger than your stomach. The service was just OK as we went during their opening week so they all have a lot to learn and figure out as they understand the balance of the restaurant, but this place is a nice addition to the area. Excited to try more in the future

    Visited again for a simple, quick dinner before an evening concert in downtown Wildwood. Service…read morewas friendly and efficient, similar to previous stops. Cocktails for the night featured a classic old fashion, not the one on the menu. Really well executed with Knob Creek rye. Also had a special Paloma which was tasty and perfect for a summer evening. Dinner included: - Cuban with fries. The missed orders this and she called it one of the best in town. 4.25 - small barbecue salad with pulled pork. This dish, priced at something like $8, is a nice "lightish" meal. Ordered fries because I can't help myself. Salad and fries: 4.25 each.

I can tell by the size of the ribs these were not baby back ribs but traditional pork spareribs. The ribs were tender which is crucial for ribs. I like it when ribs are cooked the last 30 minutes with bbq sauce which gives the ribs more flavor. These were not cooked this way and is why they give you eight sauces to use. I tried their Sweet, Carolina, Memphis and Jalapeño Carolina. I think the Jalapeños Carolina was the best of what I tried. The green beans tasted like they were cooked on the grill then seasoned. They tasted good. The corn bread was the right consistency and tasted good. I received excellent service. This is a cute little bbq joint in Ellisville. There's a large parking lot in front of the restaurant.

    I met a colleague here for dinner and it was fabulous. This is not a fancy place and that's okay…read more Order at the register and they bring it to you. That worked out well. It didn't take too long of looking at the menu to decide on the beef brisket plate. It didn't take long and it was delivered to the table. A really good portion and with my sides of cole slaw and fried okra. Plenty of food here and it was delicious. The brisket was perhaps a little less "moist" than I prefer but it was still tasty and cooked with care. A yummy portion and I'd recommend this place wholeheartedly.

    I'm not big on BBQ but my family enjoys it. I decided to come here sure to all the reviews to order…read moresomething mainly for my family. I looked through the menu and ordered something for myself as well. Came during lunch time and it was crowded. Not a big place so you have to scoot around to not be in the way but you can manage. Staff greets you as you walk in and very helpful and friendly when ordering. I ordered the food to go and it came out within a decent time. Food ordered: Whole slab of ribs, mac n cheese, bbq chicken nachos, brisket dinner, beans, fries, peach cobbler, hushpuppies. I'm so glad I decided to eat bbq with this because this food was delicious. I have never wanted to go back to a bbq resturant as I have with this place. We ordered this sweet and savory sauce that taste great too. Definitely a must try. The best bbq in this area hands down. Meat was flavorful, beans had a spicy kick to them. The cobbler was a tad sweet for me but still delicious. My husband devoured his and took mine (I was taking too long to eat it, haha). We will be back

    My fiancé and I have been on a Route 66 "kick" lately. Somehow, this place flew under my radar, but…read moreI am glad that I found it! I love an authentic Route 66 stop, and this is certainly one of those. From the road, it's difficult to tell how big the place actually is. Once inside, it opens up and really shares its character. We went on a Thursday evening, and it was packed, but not uncomfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone. Our server was friendly and efficient, and she seemed genuinely invested in customer experiences. Our food was outstanding, and there was plenty of it! We even had room for dessert: a chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. It was the size of a dinner plate! This was an outstanding indulgence, and I can't wait to have another one, as soon as my glycemic index allows. LOL The restrooms were pretty darn rough. Urine all over the floor, overflowing trash can, filthy toilet, etc., gave the impression that it hadn't been cleaned since the Route 66 days. Here, I am not focusing on that, since it's not what we came here for. Our overall experience was fantastic and memorable. We look forward to returning to this special historic establishment.

    I'd heard of this place a number of times over the years and thought it was time to check it out…read more Big mistake. First off, the place is old and dingy and needs an update badly. It's just kind of dirty everywhere. Our table had that tacky feel to it. There were dirty dishes piled up in a lot of places and about 30 or so dirty glasses piled up by the bar. Our server wasn't great. We waited a few minutes before she came over and took our drink order. She never delivered our drinks to us. After a while, we realized they were just sitting on the bar. The bartender saw us looking at them and delivered them to our table. After all that, the drinks were not good. We questioned whether there was actually any alcohol in them. We were finally able to order our entrees. I wanted a pizza. I was told they weren't doing pizza, brisket, and something else that night. She said I could have flatbread instead, so I got that. I ordered it with pepperoni, pineapple (yeah, I know - but I like it), and red onion. It was not good. The sauce was bad. It has to be plain label crap from a store somewhere. The toppings were few and far between. I didn't even eat half of it and just gave up. When our server asked if I wanted a box, I said no because it wasn't good. She said, sorry - didn't ask what was wrong with it, etc. My husband ordered the Bros. Champion Burger with tots. It's a burger with pulled pork on it. His burger was way overcooked. The pulled pork seemed to be okay. He loves tots and didn't eat them. He said they tasted like they'd been cooked in oil that had been used to cook a lot of other items as well. You may think that maybe they were understaffed. I don't believe so as I saw a number of staff members standing around chatting frequently. Our server was sitting down drying silverware. We were ready to pay and get the heck out of there. We had to get another server, to go get ours because she wasn't looking around, not checking on her tables, nothing - just chilling and drying flatware. There was absolutely nothing that made us want to go back.
