We chose both options hot pot & bbq. I chose Tom yum soup base that is more tangy. The qualities of their fried crab appetizer, varieties & their sauce stations(with pre-mix one) are beyond my expectation. Our attentive server name "Tien"and she really pay attention to us. I love the family friendly with individual hood for each table. Despite the high price & time limit to eat there. I will go back because of the value of quality foods & excellent service I received. You get what you paid worth here. read more

While I try to keep an open mind when dining out, this was unfortunately one of the more disappointing Korean BBQ/Hot Pot experiences my wife and I have had. The food lacked flavor overall, and the appetizer selection was very basic--consisting of unseasoned fries, dry chicken nuggets, and cheese sticks that were also quite dry--which was very disappointing given the price of the meal. Service was mixed. Our first server politely let us know, saying "sorry, no English," which created communication challenges when ordering. As a result, several items, including rice and other dishes, were initially forgotten, and we had to find another staff member to receive them. Additionally, it took nearly 30 minutes to have our grill changed, which meant we were cooking on a burned surface for a significant portion of the meal. The broths we selected were also not very flavorful. The atmosphere and lighting were visually interesting at first, but the bright blue lights made it difficult to clearly see the food while grilling and became uncomfortable over time. Overall, I would rate the service around 5/10 and the food closer to 3/10. I hope the restaurant considers improving seasoning, service efficiency, and lighting to enhance the dining experience. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Burnt grill after waiting for a new one for 30 mins - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Y'all, I love me some Kbbq!!! This was my first kpot visit but definitely not my first kbbq experience. I love kbbq and was excited to try this location for a 12-year-old's birthday. They do not take reservations so you have to take a chance on arriving at a time suitable for a larger party. We had four adults and five littles, We arrived at 6:00 and luckily, we were seated immediately. This is an all you can eat setting. It comes with all you can eat kbbq And if anyone wants hot pot at the table, everyone has to order hot pot and it's an additional $5 per person. We stuck with kbbq only. I was a little shocked that they did not bring banchan to the table. I was also concerned when I asked my server if the banchan was coming out and she didn't know what I was talking about. How do you work at a Korean BBQ restaurant and not know what banchan is! She let me know that there is a small "appetizer buffet" In the very back of the restaurant. It had many sauces, kimchi, pickled radishes, fruit, a couple of desserts and some fries and chicken nuggets. I was very disappointed that they did not have banchan. That's my favorite. I survived with the kimchi and pickled radishes. Anywho, They have you order all of the meat you want, It's not limited, And you have 2 hours to eat everything you order. There was a great selection of meats and vegetables for the grill. So that was good. Overall, Our server was not the most attentive or knowledgeable and sadly she was witnessed not washing her hands after using the restroom. That's just not okay with me. The food was good, Just missing banchan. The kimchi and pickled radishes and sauces were good as well. Would I return, probably not. Only because it's not the kbbq experience that I enjoy. read more

Came in for the all-you-can-eat hot pot and left full and impressed. The ingredient spread is solid. Tons of fresh proteins, vegetables, and noodles. You build your bowl exactly how you want it. The make-your-own sauce bar is the real win. So many options that you can dial in your flavor every round. The dessert area is a nice bonus too. Shoutout to Daniel, our server. He stayed on it the whole time. Checked in without hovering. Took time to explain the menu and how everything works. He actually talked to us, not just dropped things off. Made the whole experience feel welcoming. Fair warning--the soups come out hot. Like actually hot. Take your time. That said, the experience was worth it, and I'd come back again. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Dinning area - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

As always, food was delicious. Our server, Dorothea, was super attentive and made sure we had what we needed.

Visiting CO from CA and this place did not disappoint! Came around 6 PM on a Saturday and there was a short 20-30 minute wait but there's plenty near by to pass the time. Our server was wondering- she put in our first order for us and walked us through how their system works. She was amazing, checked on us through out the night and remembered our friend's birthday at the end of dinner. She brought him a piece of cheesecake which was nice. Checked on us and refilled our waters through out the night The food itself was so good. I absolutely loved the healthy herb broth that i chose. The rest of my friends had the szechuan and it was a really good spice level. The meat was fresh and they had a good variety of pork and beef. They have lots of veggies and mushroom variety too! I liked the sauce bar/ dessert station too. Lots of fresh fruit- rambutan, lychee, melon, strawberries- which was great to break up the savory and fatty meats. I didn't really enjoy the banchan but it didn't feel like it contributed that negatively to my experience The music was popping too! read more

Come hungry, leave happy! There's something for everyone here, whether you're craving some BBQ or some Hot Pot. They have plenty of options for protein, a great selection of sides, and alcohol! The restaurant is pretty big and has plenty of stove tops and tables. There's a ton of iconic AYCE blue light (IYKYK) throughout the restaurant. The staff are awesome, this last time Tien helped us and she was an angel! There are multiple options for hot pot flavor, and the best thing about it is...if you don't like it, they'll change it out for you. I got the Tom Yum based broth (it's got everything you need: sweet, savory, sour, spicy). My cousin got the Seafood based broth and he's a big seafood guy and was pretty happy. Cuts of meat are of course to your liking. Personally, I love beef brisket, pork belly, and lamb, but the best part about eating with other people is trying their cuts of choice, so experiment! Dipping sauces too. I liked a mix of the peanut sauce with garlic chili oil and a dash of garlic and green onions. Check out that combo if you're feeling adventurous! Overall, an amazing experience. I think the best bang for your buck is during lunch ($21.99 AYCE). Will def be returning soon! read more

This place is a great, regular, all you can eat Korean BBQ place. We had great service, great meats, and it is a very clean and organized place. Lunch is like $22, dinner after 4pm is $32, but has more selection. Up to you to see if it's worth it... read more

Another hot pot place? I have to try it!! Located by Target, this location shares a large parking lot with the surrounding businesses! My friends and I went for a late lunch and it wasn't busy but by the time we left, dinner time, it got backed so I would call ahead for a reservation. When you arrive you will be asked if you want hot pot, kbbq, or both. Everyone at the table needs to order the same so make this decision before you get there. We all only wanted hot pot. We were seated at a large table with a hot pot burner for everyone! You order off a tablet and they bring out your meats, seafood, and noodles. There is a sauce bar and some fried foods up for grabs too! I got the miso broth. It was good, just your standard miso broth. The meats were standard that you would find at any other hot pot place. I did like the little fried foods section at the sauce bar. They offered chicken nuggets and I did get some haha The bathroom was not the cleanest when I used it. Toilet paper on the floor and a few toilets not flushed... just the little things that add up. Overall I think I would go back to try the kbbq but not anytime soon. read more

Not bad for korean barbecue. Not as big of a fan of hot pot, so unsure if I'd come back to try that. They have a pretty basic selection of meats (brisket, pork belly, bulggogi, etc.) and a somewhat sparse bonchon collection from what I'm used to having. I wish they had the usual salad, radish/rice paper, and others to help accentuate the kbbq. The service wasn't the worst; our waitress was really nice, but the tablet system to order meat kept breaking down, so we had to manually order our food for the last few rounds, which was annoying. As for ambiance, the inside is akin to the Gen chain that's popular throughout California (idk if they exist elsewhere), but with less bells and whistles. Overall, not that bad for korean barbecue. Will forever be sad about the lack of steamed egg, though :( read more

Go somewhere else. There is no way for you to do a reservation or put your name in online. We showed up at 9:45pm on a Saturday, half the restaurant was empty, and there was one family waiting to be seated. They told us (party of 2), that it would be a 40min wait. When I asked why because of how many tables were available, the response was "there is a waitlist." Coming from the restaurant industry, an acceptable answer would be something like "we don't have enough servers" not, there's a waitlist. lol? They had multiple tables that could seat the family and tons of smaller tables. Either the restaurant needs to change something, or the hostess needs to be retrained. read more

meat and food options were pretty good but on a Thursday early eve, the server came over initially but was gone most of the early part of the dining so getting a refill took forever. Items that we asked for we didn't get. We order maybe like 10 or 13 items at a time but at least 3 or so items didn't come. I wonder how they operate on a weekend when it's busy. There looks to be maybe 2 server with the whole place full. Honestly, nothing wrong with the food and the options were pretty good. I had to wave down a manager that past thru because the soup for my wife was too spicy. We did ask the server initially but obviously she forgot. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW We came for hotpot! there is one gf broth option (chicken & pork) and it needs some HELP for flavor - but there's only one GF sauce: hot chili. With that said, almost all the meat cuts are GF as are the vegetables, with some seafood and one tofu option marked. The appetizer section in the back is not marked and it's a serve-yourself style so CC is possible. However, the staff are knowledgeable and will help tell you what you can and cannot have. Not the flavorful experience I was hoping for, however, I was thankful for the option and did not get sick! read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - GF broth with LOTS of hot chili oil - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is easily one of my favorite spots for Korean BBQ, and I find myself coming back here more often than I should. The quality of the BBQ is consistently great, and it's just such a fun experience every time. The main thing that keeps me returning again and again is their beef bulgogi, it's always seasoned to perfection. That perfect balance of sweet and savory flavor is absolutely to die for, and it's one of those dishes I crave long after leaving. While I didn't love their hotpot the first time I tried it, I'm definitely open to giving it another shot. My only real gripe with it is their policy: if one person at your table orders the hotpot, everyone else at the table is also required to pay for the hotpot option, even if you don't plan to eat it. It feels a bit unfair, especially when you just want to stick to BBQ. That said, the BBQ experience itself more than makes up for it. There's something really fun about being able to cook everything yourself at your own pace, it's interactive, relaxed, and you can keep eating as long as you like without feeling rushed. The atmosphere inside is also super cute; the LED lights give it a modern, cozy vibe that makes it great for a casual night out with friends or even a date. As for the service, the staff is great. They don't have to do too much since you're cooking your own food, but they're always attentive when you need something, refilling drinks, bringing out more meat or sides quickly, and making sure you have everything you need without hovering. Overall, despite my minor issue with the hotpot policy, this place remains one of my go-to spots. The beef bulgogi alone is worth the visit, and paired with the atmosphere and overall experience, it's hard not to love coming here. read more

Food is delicious. Lots of variety for both hot pot and bbq. And, yes, you can have both! Come hungry and leave full for sure. Service is on par with the type of restaurant. No issues with drinks. They are pretty on top of it. You also have the option to self-order via a touchpad at the table. Ambiance is average to noisy, depending on how busy it is. They can fit a lot of people into a smaller space. With hot pot and bbq both going it can get a bit stuffy and hot. The air system sometimes seems a bit lacking if the heat and steam gets going when they are at capacity. I definitely recommend if you are looking for the full range of options and can't decide if you want hot pot or bbq. The only drawback is if one person at the table wants bbq and everyone else has hot pot, the whole table has to pay the upgrade price. So everyone has to decide hot pot, bbq, or both before you order. read more

Our table of 6 all decided to do BBQ, but you can add hot pot options first an extra $5 per person. There is a buffet sauces, apps, fruit, and desserts included with the price. Our server was friendly, but you could tell he was tired of giving the same speech on how BBQ works. He was attentive for the most part, but there were times where he forgot refills or didn't bring requested items and kindly reminded. We also celebrated a friend's birthday while there and they had a small slice of cheesecake and sang. If you go in with 6+ they do add an automatic 18% gratuity to the tab. There is a lot of parking because it is located in a strip mall and is kid-friendly, just keep littles away from the cooling areas. Overall, a good experience and will share with others to try. read more

What a great place! Super fun, great food, and friendly service. Our party opted for both the hot pot and KBBQ option and I'm glad we did. The food was fresh and high quality. Everything was super clean and easy to use. If that wasn't enough, the service is top notch. Our server, Nica was so sweet, explained how everything worked as soon as we sat down, and overall made our experience memorable. We will definitely be back! read more

Thursday night, 10 of us, and one hot (pot) date--KPOT delivered on every front. Forget "dinner and a show"; this was dinner as the show. We went with hot pot over KBBQ and had zero regrets. From the moment we were seated (which was immediately but then again we came on a Thursday), the service was snappy, the food arrived faster than my emails during peak work hours, and the experience was an absolute vibe. Each of us had our own little bubbling cauldron of joy (individual pots, complete with our choice of broth). I took a gamble on the Healthy Herbs soup, which sounds like something an Asian mom would recommend when you're sick, but this was truly the MVP of the night. Creamy white broth, chicken and pork bone goodness--it was so good I woke up the next day wanting to drink it for breakfast. Am I fine? Probably not, but that soup is. The iPad ordering system was absolutely genius. AYCE places, take notes--no awkward flagging down servers here. We summoned meats, veggies, and noodles like pros, and just like with an actual genie our wishes came true. The sauce bar at the back of the restaurant was a mini science lab where you get to mix your own dipping masterpiece. I had a mix of green onion, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame sauce, and I think it was the KPOT sauce(?) and all night I was running it back to grab more. TL;DR: Amazing service, addictively delicious broth, and an iPad that makes you feel like a hot pot wizard. KPOT, we're coming back for round two. Healthy Herbs soup, you won't be seeing the last of me read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Great KPOT establishment. I've visited others from the same franchise, and this location is solid. Consistent to the others and just what I expected. Our waitress was especially kind in helping our large party. We arrived not too long before close, so she even offered us to-go boxes at no charge. Love the sauce counter, where you can make any combination of sauce. Your experience is very customizable between that and the extensive meat menu. The only gripe I have about them not being the most accommodating to large parties is the size of the tabletop burner. It is small and sunken in, making it difficult to reach and to fit everyone's food. For hot pot, everyone has their own burner though. read more

I feel compelled to review this establishment even though i wasn't given the opportunity to eat there as planned. I walked in excited that there is a Korea BBQ spot like 10 minutes from my house. I wanted a carry out meal but to my dismay they said they don't have carry out. Every Korean bbq spot I go to has carry out. I know the name says "&Hot Pot" but the Korean Bbq part makes it seem like they do carry out. The place looked clean and very festive. The employees were nice and courteous. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Their business practices are disappointing and unprofessional. When you order their "premium cuts of meat," portions are noticeably reduced. The waitstaff openly ridicules customers who order what they consider "too much food." If a restaurant advertises itself as "all you can eat," guests should be able to enjoy exactly that - without being ignored, shortchanged, or made to feel embarrassed for ordering what they're entitled to. read more

Came here with my brother visiting from LA. Food was good- both hotpot and kbbq. Server Brent was amazing!

My first time at KPOT and it was a great experience! The restaurant was pretty busy for a Thursday night. Our server explained the process and was pretty attentive. We did Hot Pot, but you can do both KBBQ & Hot Pot. I got the mushroom broth and it was pretty good! We got the brisket & tofu, bok choy, bamboo shoots, and seaweed knots. I really enjoyed the tofu and bok choy. Overall, this restaurant is super nice inside, I can't wait to be back! read more

First time visitor! Saturday night so the wait was an hour long but our group stuck it out and glad we did. Brent was our server and he was very good at explaining the menu and there was a huge variety that catered to the party's personal taste. Even though the place got really busy he still found the time to check in on us. I had the tomato soup base and the I added garlic to it and it was super delicious :) sauce bar was amazing. Beef tongue is always yummy too read more

My adult daughter and I came for a late lunch. It was pretty quiet but started filling up as our meal progressed. We ordered way too much food, but it was all delicious. The amount of meat they give you to cook yourself at the table was ample, and they had buffet-style sides that were kept neat and well stocked. Our server, Monela, made sure we had drinks and everything we needed for a nice lunch. Overall, we felt it was well worth the price. My daughter has gone there many times before with co-workers, but this was my first time. I will definitely be going back. It was relaxing and delicious, which is what I always hope for in a lunch out. read more

After hearing about if for a while now, I finally made a stop here and it's pretty good for an AYCE KBBQ. It's $5 more for the hotpot added to it but the hotpot menu wasn't that impressive for our table so we stuck with KBBQ. They have a sauce station so you can make your own sauce and grab your sides like kimchi. There are a lot of options from beef to pork to seafood. This is possibly the first AYCE I have been to where Galbi was included and not just one serving per person. It's worth your money to come here over others because of the galbi alone. The king oyster mushroom was pretty good. I ate it as a lettuce wrap. Service can be pretty meh when they're busy. I think they're just short on people. We asked for our grill changed and we waited over 20 min for it. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. We came in an hour before closing (which is plenty of time). The host was confused on if they were still open or not, despite the sign saying last seating at 10:30pm. He asked another host who went and asked a server and then came back and told him that , that server did not want to take us. So we turned around a left. We were really excited to try this place read more

I'm so glad I finally got to try KPot. We came on a Sunday afternoon after 2pm and surprisingly got seated within minutes of arriving which was nice. KPot has that ambiance that most KBBQ places have which I enjoy. Their menu has great options for Korean BBQ & Hotpot from different types of meat, noodles and veggies. You have the option to order unlimited KBBQ or Hotpot or both. It's a $5 extra charge per person if you choose to do both. They also have a section with fruits, desserts and ingredients to make your own sauces (this is included in the price). We opted to do both KBBQ & Hotpot. We got to pick what items we wanted for both options. The quality of the meats was great and the veggies were fresh. Everything came out quickly and at the same time so we enjoyed both hot pot and BBQ at the same time. Our server was patient and explained everything really well which made the experience even better. I'd definitely try Kpot again but will probably do either KBBQ or Hotpot and not both - it was a lot of food for two people. I'd recommend going as soon as they open to avoid a long wait but if you cannot, be prepared for a wait. read more

My husband and I heard fairly good things about this restaurant and decided to come here for a date night. It's $32 for base dinner price and we added $5 for ayce hot pot. Having kbbq and hot pot is A-mazing. You get the greasy, delicious kbbq and then some hot pot with veggies to wash it all down. I over ordered becuase my eyes were bigger than my stomach, but we managed to eat a lot of what we ordered. The galbi alone is worth the price. We had the sliced brisket, beef tongue, galbi, spicy pork bulgogi, regular pork belly, KPOT pork belly ( thicker cut), garlic shrimp (not a fan), jumbo shrimp (yum). Their dessert buffet changes and I loved devouring the lychee when they had it. The service was great, our waiter checked on us constantly and made sure we had what we needed. Everything we had was pretty good and we ended up coming back a couple months later with a few of our friends who also enjoyed their food and experience here. Highly recommend! read more

Flavor-packed fun with friends! After a fantastic afternoon with friends, we headed to KPot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot to keep the good vibes going -- and it did not disappoint! This place is as interactive and entertaining as it is delicious. Our server, Jam, was an absolute gem! Patient and kind, she guided us through the menu and explained the setup since a couple of us were new to this style of dining. Thanks to her, we settled in quickly and started having fun. We each picked a different broth for the hot pot (sharing = best decision ever), and the portion sizes for proteins and sides were perfect -- enough to mix, match, and experiment without overwhelming. And the BBQ? Let me just say: the short ribs are heavenly. I might've found my forever food. The sauce bar was a hit too, complete with recipes and suggestions for building your own custom flavor combos. Jam checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed -- and more. KPot is an ideal spot for a group outing, with spacious tables that can accommodate larger parties. It's already on our radar for the next Mom's night out! Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great service, and a fun, hands-on dining experience. read more

Fun Korean BBQ experience. We came here around 6pm sunday for dinner and the restaurant was almost full. We did not have to wait. The decor inside is interesting. We use tablet to order food and it came out pretty quick. Food are fresh and seasoned well. There is sauce and dessert station at the back. Dessert was already with little cake and fruit. Unfortunately they don't have guchujang which go well with K-BBQ. Staffs are friendly. Price is similar to other All you can eat BBQ. read more
