Last night was my first time at a K-pot restaurant and Korean barbecue in general. I did not really have an idea of what to expect and was a little nervous about not knowing what to get or how to cook the food properly once I found out that it was self service on the grill. I was immediately put an ease by our amazing server, Owen. He did such an amazing job explaining the menu, explaining the process and how the whole experience works. In his downtime when he did not have other tables, he even came over and helped us cook the food that we ordered to make sure our experience was as amazing as it can be, even though that's not a requirement of his. The food was absolutely incredible and cooked to perfection! I cannot wait to go back! Thanks so much for making it in unforgettable experience, Owen! 1000/10 service read more

We went for the kbbq selection. It's a pretty nice place with good music. You order on the iPad which is pretty cool. Service was good, and they changed out the grills frequently. There was a ton of people at the host stand and everyone just kept staring when we walked in without greeting us. It was weird. read more

ordered the thai tom yum flavor, which has a slight kick and is very tangy, which i love. the sauce bar lets you customize your sauce and pick various side dishes. the wagyu had a deal for $2, $8 off the original $10 deal. the meat was very tough when cooked medium rare and fully. would not recommend. the other meats, however, were very delicious and soft. perfectly seasoned and were nicely presented. rice bowl and pumpkin never came out. the servers and host are kind, but they do not check on you often. you have to call them or walk up to ask for something. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - grill and hotpot - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I had dinner here with my daughter, and it was a fun and interesting experience--definitely a spot I'd been curious to try. KPot offers three options: Korean BBQ, Hot Pot, or a combo of both. Everyone at the table has to agree on the same option, and we went all in with both. Fair warning: it's a lot of food, so come hungry. I chose the Spicy Szechuan broth for the hot pot. It was good, but honestly, it wasn't my favorite--I'd try a different broth next time. The Korean BBQ, however, was legit. Pork belly, short ribs, bulgogi--you name it. Everything we grilled at the table was flavorful and very well done. That alone made the experience worthwhile. The buffet, unfortunately, was a disappointment. None of the items were even warm, which was surprising since we were there during peak dinner hours when you'd expect high turnover. The wings were by far the best item on the buffet, and even those were only mildly warm. A definite letdown. That said, don't let the buffet deter you--the Korean BBQ is absolutely the star here. Our server, Yung (hope I'm spelling that correctly), was excellent. As first-timers, we really appreciated how clearly and patiently she explained the whole process. All in all, a solid food adventure and a strong start to my dining experiences in 2026. If I'm back in the area, I'd return for the Korean BBQ and give a different broth a shot next time. read more

This is an excellent restaurant? I would say fantastic! Highly rated for food and service. It's a frequent stop of ours at least 2 to 3 times a month. read more

We finally made it to K Pot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot after trying since they opened because the wait times are always insane... and honestly, the hype just wasn't there for us. First issue was cleanliness. We had to go through probably 10-15 sauce/seasoning bowls before finding some that actually looked clean enough to use. The plates, tongs, and even the scissors at the table also looked dirty. Not a great first impression at all. Our server was nice, but this was our first time ever doing Korean BBQ/hot pot and literally nothing was explained. We had no clue what we were doing, what sauces to use, how long to cook things, what combinations worked, nothing. For a place built around the "experience," there really wasn't much of one. We even paid extra for the dinner menu just so we could get steak options. But somehow there wasn't even a knife brought to the table. If you're serving steak that people cook themselves, there should probably be a way to cut it afterward. The server also turned our grill heat down so low while we were actively cooking that it completely affected how the food turned out. I eventually had to adjust the heat myself just to get things to cook properly. We tried shrimp, beef and chicken bulgogi, mushrooms, eggplant, pineapple, etc. and almost everything was bland. The bulgogi barely had flavor, which was shocking. We didn't even realize there were additional seasonings available until after we had already started cooking because nobody mentioned it. And even then, the seasoning options were basically just salt, pepper, and sesame seeds. The rice tasted stale and old -- one bite and we were done. The pineapple had a weird aftertaste too. I completely understand paying for an experience, but when the food is bland, the setup is confusing, the grill temp is inconsistent, and cleanliness is questionable, it just feels like an expensive waste of money. Definitely a one-and-done visit for us. read more

I absolutely love the food here--the variety of meats and the quality of the hot pot base are easily some of the best in Arlington. The DIY sauce bar is always stocked, and it's become my go-to spot for a high-energy meal. However, the only downside is that it is always crowded. Even on off-peak hours, there's usually a significant wait, which speaks to how good the food is, but makes it hard for a spontaneous visit. If you don't mind the noise and the wait, it's 100% worth it, but definitely plan ahead! read more

I'm always looking for a good hot pot place and cake pie is a franchise that I've been in other locations in different states so I was familiar with it and decided to take my coworker to try hot pot for the first time. Needless to say it's as expected. The menu is small but all the essential items are on it. We decided to do just hot pot if you want to do barbecue it's five dollars more per person and both of you have to agree to pick the same option. You order through an iPad and the service is quick. The place is very spacious overall we enjoyed it. read more

Food wasn't good and it's sneaky on how they hide the dinner items w the lunch items and u don't realize u order a dinner item till it's too late. Meat quality was lousy. Not a good amount of sides versus other kbbq spots. read more

Can be crowded, but it's a reliable spot for KBBQ and hot pot! I love that you can order meats/veggies/sides off of an iPad here because it makes it much quicker than having to ask your server! The sauce bar is nice because it also has some hot foods and fruit Expect a wait during peak times! read more

Went here for Sunday lunch, pretty much the usual KPOT experience. I got the BBQ (bulgogi was really good) even though hot pot is more popular. There's a 2-hour limit on dining and about 8-10 items per order until your time resets (3/5 mins) if I remember correctly and also charges if you waste meat. Appetizers are self-serves and had almost everything: fries, wings, nuggets, crab legs, kimchi, variety of sauces, chilli oil and what not but nothing special. The crab Rangoon was so stale, wasn't even crispy. All of them just didn't feel freshly made. Desserts were limited to mochi balls which weren't that good and coffee cake (my fav). Fruits seemed mostly canned and the ones that weren't looked and even tasted dry and stale. Overall, BBQ was solid, but the rest was just okay. read more

I had never had this place but my usual spot was closing soon so I decided to give it a try. The server was amazing at explaining and helping us out though. We only did the hot pot part and not the kbbq I'm either not a fan of kbbq or just suck at it lol. I got the Sichuan broth and my friend got the tom yum and both were amazing. The ordering is super easy bc you do it off of a tablet so it was super nice not having to wait for someone when we wanted more meat. I was kind of thrown off by the fact that the vegetables are also ordered through the tablet as I am used to more of a buffet style when it comes to getting the vegetables, noodles and sides etc but it didn't bother me. The vegetable selection wasn't as large as I would have preferred but it wasn't a deal breaker. They do however have a very large sauce selection and some pre prepared if you aren't familiar with mixing your own. We had lots of lamb and pork belly and there's a lot of different cuts of beef to choose from depending on your preference and all were very high quality and tasty. Just for the fun of it we had sake bombs and the glasses they brought the beer in were too small for that at first but someone who I am assuming was the bartender noticed right away and got us larger glasses and even made sure to fix the pour since the two came uneven at first. We went at an in between hour so they weren't busy but the place is nice and appears super clean. They were playing like all of our favorite songs coincidentally which was super fun. I would totally come here again with a larger group and try both hot pot and kbbq next time! Our server rose was also very lovely ! read more

Finally excited for a hotpot place to open up in arlington instead of having to drive all the way to carrolton. The soup choices were good, and the meat quality was pretty good as well. The servers were super attentive, and the inside was nice and clean. I will definitely be back if I'm craving Korean hot pot and I don't want to drive so far to get some! read more

Enough choices for all you can eat Korean BBQ.. staff and services are accommodating to customers.

Had Nini as a server and first the manager had to get her attention when we were first seated due to her being on her phone, not realizing she had a table waiting, the menu isn't the same as it used to be which I understand places like this can change their menu items but for the price it's not worth it like it used to be. Then Nini was sitting at the bar on her phone talking to other servers while we were waiting for our check. We have come here many times but this time made it our last and it was not worth what you pay for, for this type of service. read more

5 stars for service, our server Nam- I believe that was his name. He was super attentive! We celebrated a birthday and they came out and sang birthday girl a song with a sign! Tom yum soup- 4/10 it was salty but lacked flavor I had to make my own sauce to like it better I like the ordering on the iPad, it limits over ordering and food waste Much success to this new establishment! Can you add ice cream for dessert, I needed it after a salty soup. read more

I love the Korean bbq here! Place is always clean and service is solid. I come here after with my daughter and she loves it. So glad this location was put here! read more

So this was my second time going there and it was still good. Of course once you order the food it came out fresh especially the meat. The suicide was good as well, kept the drinks refilled and everything. Ambiance was nice as well of course you only have a 2 hour minimum to chill and vibe with people. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Spicy soup with pho noodles - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Pretty mid tbh. Service was fine and food was okay, regular hotpot. But I've never had to order so many times because every portion they gave me was so small. I was basically ordering the whole time because my table kept eating the small ass portions so quick LOL. Also I went in late May and it was HOT AS FUCK. Like my whole table and I were sweating buckets and I saw other customers around me fanning themselves. I know the servers say it's the heat, but I've never been to a hotpot/kbbq place where I'm just sweating like crazy. I recommend seapot or liuyishou. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Came with a party of 10. Even though I called in the morning to let them know I was coming. When I got there it wasn't busy but we had 8 of the party of ten and the wouldn't seat us until the last two came. We waited almost an hour to be sat. They sat us, with very little instruction or direction. It was so chaotic. No one knew what to do. The iPad was a greasy sticky mess, they were out of rice, all the handles at the bar were sticky and gummy. Someone puked in the entrance way and it took them like 30 minutes to clean it up. The bathrooms were so gross. Tissue and trash all over the floor. Several times we asked for help, it was stressful and our food wasn't good. I won't be going back. read more

Food is always great and the service is great. They don't rush you and always make sure you have everything you need.

KPOT did not disappoint! The Tom Yum soup was hands down the best I've had -- perfectly balanced with that bold, tangy, and spicy flavor that warms you up from the first sip. If you're a soup lover, this is a must-try. What truly made our visit special was our waitress, Spider. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we understood the menu and got the most out of our hot pot experience. Her energy and customer service were top tier -- she checked on us often without being intrusive and made us feel genuinely welcome. Great food + great service = well back!!! read more

Popped into K-pop, for some delicious Korean barbecue. I was craving the pork. So I had the spicy pork belly, the regular pork belly and the thin cut pork belly... You might notice the theme. I love the thin cut pork belly with a little bit of sesame, so oil and salt and pepper and a little bit Kimchi. And I love the spicy pork belly with the baby quail eggs, and I love the regular pork Philly with bean paste and rice. Top it off with a Soju and it was amazing. Sam my server made the whole experience a pleasure. He was very helpful and Johnny on the spot anytime I needed something. He was buzzing around like a busy bee. Helping out a lot of other people as well. He's gotta be one of the strong ones on the team. The only drawback, is the fact that with all the grills and the hot pots going in here it is warm, OK really it's hot. I will spend much more time here in the winter because I'm gonna want both of those in the winter. But sometimes you just gotta have the pork belly. I highly recommend you drop by read more

It's hard to for this place 2 stars BUT experience as a first time patron will do that. We came for my husbands birthday. I made a couple of comments about being there for his birthday. The waitress was nice. The self serve area was infested with knats and dirty. There were maybe 4-5 other families there so not busy. The meats for the bbq were good. The soup pots are pretty big for a kid so making each kid have one was and is a total waste and not worth the money which making everyone in the party chose one or both is a bit absurd and greedy when it comes to kids who eat WAY LESS. When it was time to pay I paid the bill and then the waitress said if you come for your birthday, your meal is free. So she heard the whole time it was my husbands birthday and says this after I pay??? Yup!!! I then said "I mentioned we were here specifically for his birthday." All she said was oh thank you have a nice night,took the check and walked away. WTF....my daughter asked to go back for her birthday and after spending $200 for the 4 of us last time; told her it wasn't worth it. We will not be going back until they have been a bit more established, trained staff better and can clean the self serve area. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Meat was very good. - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I love kbbq and hot pot and I love when I have the option to have them at the same time. I think $35 for both is such an agreeable price so I'm not mad. I love that this place has individual hot pots instead of a communal one. I enjoyed the atmosphere kpot had to offer on a Monday night. I think the food and drinks were delicious. Our server was such a chill guy - loved him. So why not 5 stars? I think KPOT can do better. My poor server was handling so many tables on a Monday night so service was slow. I'm not mad at him for it. I'm annoyed that staffing wasn't adequate so he wouldn't be running around like a headless chicken. He was a great server and had a wonderful personality. I think the booths are way too close to the tables. I don't have long legs and I wasn't comfortable with my seating situation so I don't know how someone with longer legs would've been able to sit in the booths comfortably. I think the AC can be turned just a little colder to compensate for the heat coming from everyone's grills and hotpot's. Overall though, it was a great dinner and I had a good time. read more

We went shortly after their grand opening with a large party. They are able to seat about 8 people max so we had to split our group into 2 locations. You are able to do hot pot or add on KBBQ but the entire table must do the same thing. You can pick your own broth flavors as well since they're individual pots. There is a sauce & snack bar against the wall if you wanted small bites to munch on and making your own dipping sauce. Prices were reasonable and our waiter was doing great for our large table and my hungry cousins. You can order a few items on the iPad but beware that it may take awhile so we accidentally ordered duplicate items since we didn't realize our order was still waiting. Overall it's a fun experience read more

Ahhh my fav hot pot in the area!! Their Tom yum broth is SO GOOD and spicy. I absolutely love it. Since their opening weekend I went back atleast 5 times and brought a different group everytime. Their buffet items are good, the quality of their meat is good. I honestly don't have any complaints about this place. I think it's super cool you can order everything on your own with the iPad. If you've been wanting to come here! DO IT. I'm addicted!! I also love their short ribs for kbbq. I always do both kbbq and hot pot, it's a little bit overstimulating but so worth it. The items usually come out super quick! So the service is quite fast and they really only focus on drinks. This place also has a bar you can sit at and is HUGE. Very accommodating large groups, very clean, very worth it. DEFINITELY come try!! read more

Absolutely delicious!! Tried the hotpot and bbq, both were good, especially the bulgogi! I loved that they had made to order options for my picky child including chicken nuggets,fries and wings! This will be a new staple in our eating out rotation. Our server was also extremely attentive and constantly made sure we didn't need to order anything additional. read more

The food was just okay for the price, but the experience was awful. When we walked in, we were told it was $27.99 per person. With six people, the total should have been around $168, or about $182 after tax. Instead, we were charged $214 because they added a bunch of fees they never clearly explained. They slapped on a $30 "6-person gratuity" without telling us upfront. The only notice was a tiny sign in 11-point Times New Roman, placed two feet off the ground at the front where no one would ever see it. On top of that, the staff kept giving us dirty looks, walking past us without refilling our drinks, and had terrible attitudes the entire time. Definitely not worth it. read more

This is what my daughter chose for her 18th birthday dinner and it was a really great choice. We were party of 11 on a Friday night so we knew it would be busy, but the service was impeccable. Dar was our server and she was so sweet and took wonderful care of us. Appetizer and sauce buffet area was clean and well maintained for how busy it was. Great selection for hot port and bbq. Excellent seafood selection for sure. Everything came out so quick and our grill was changed out frequently. Definitely a place to come visit! read more

I was brought here by my family to celebrate my birthday. I was excited to try the hot pot kbbq combination. When pulling up, the building looks nice because they have a warm vibrant tone feeling of colored lights. There's a lot of parking on the other side of the street or in the mall parking lot or garage. As for the service, we got there at 6 and it took about 5 minutes before we got seated. We had our baby so booths with high chairs are very limited. Do not bring your stroller in because there is no room for it. They'll have you put it behind the front desk. We had a server who went over the menu and how to use the iPad to order. After that, saw her only 2 times the whole night and it was to refill a drink and give us the check. There are a lot of employees delivering food orders as well as removing empty plates from the tables and changing the grills from char buildup. Overall, service was okay and I understand that they are busy which is typical for a kbbq spot. Now onto the food. We only did the kbbq option and it was $30.99 for adults and I believe $17.99 for kids during dinner time. You can do the hot pot for $5 more per person but, everyone at the table has to commit to it and pay the extra. They had about 10 different flavored broths. I did not see spicy miso as an option which is why we didn't do that option. There was a huge selection of meats and veggies along with an area where you can make your own dipping sauces and get appetizers. We tried just about everything in the menu and I don't think it was all that compared to other places I have been to. I don't think the meats were marinated for long so the flavor lacked especially in the bulgogis. There was a rice was cold, which was a disappointment. The appetizers weren't good either. They had stuff like French fries, chicken nuggets, potato noodles, cream cheese ragoons, and a variety of fruit. The fried foods were cold and stale and the fruit was mushy and not ripe at all (grapes and pineapples). Overall, nice place to go to but definitely overpriced and food was not great. read more

The restaurant was clean and they do a good job keeping the tables cleaned off. There is nothing to absorb the sound and it is extremely loud when crowded. The service is good and the food is ok. The restaurant only has Pepsi product and your choices are Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Starry, Mug Rootbeer, Ginger Ale and Lipton Sweet tea (a restaurant that does not brew tea is hard to believe). My family obviously drinks none of those products so we had 3 waters. No Soy sauce on your table, if you want it you can wait though to customize your soup buffet line and put some on your food that you carried with you. We did not find any containers to put it in to carry back to our table (another hard to believe for Asian restaurant). Also no fermented and pickled vegetables brought to your table as sides (every other Korean BBQ I have been to has) so you can go through the line and get it and of course everything is cross contaminated with the items next to it. $138.47 out the door for an Asian meal with no drinks and soy sauce that was too much of a hassle to deal with. For that price I personally prefer a quieter experience with less self service. Again my preference, many customers seemed to love it as they were crowded and definitely not hurting for business. read more

First time experience was great! Had Jeffery and he was so attentive and nice. Came again today just because of that. Today not so great. Wasn't even done eating and the server already came to give us the bill. Came in 2 groups and we sat across from each other and she rang the tab up as one ticket without even asking or acknowledging. All of our food didn't even come out yet. We were so upset we stopped eating. I guess when you ring it up as one tab you can automatically get your gratuity added in. 1 table sat as 4 guests and our side sat as 5 just two adults and 3 kids. Levi helped explained our tab as she was not even attentive as much. Jeffery even came by to help get us things we needed also. Since she wanted that 18%, so bad. I'll give it to her. She could've made more tip. Not a way to cheat people out and think you would have returning customers. We will never be back again. read more

Went here with some friends that were new to Kbbq. This was my first time here and I usually go to other places that I'm familiar with, but was willing to try a new place. It was mid - my friends were disappointed with the experience as was I. We did bbq only but maybe we should've tried the hot pot instead. Meats were aight, banchan items were ehh. It wasn't my most disappointing experience (looking at you, Fire Pot) but I won't be back here for the bbq. read more
