KPOT Korean BBQ &amp; Hot Pot

First time visit to Korea House. Located very close to MSU so I figured the menu and atmosphere…read morewould be geared toward students. First we sat down and were given 2 menus. One was their regular menu with a variety of different options and the second menu was all sushi and sashimi. There were dozens of rolls and nigiri of all types. Quite an impressive list. I was there for the Korean food so I did not order any sushi. The service was excellent. The few questions we had were answered and the menu layout was explained as it was extensive. There were apps, rice dishes, soups, house specials, BBQ options and hot pot options to name a few. I decided to go with the kim bop app and soondubu chigae main dish. Soondubu chigae is a spicy soup with silken tofu and seafood served piping hot with rice on the side. The meal also included a selection of 4 banchan; potato salad, Kimchee, bean sprouts and fish cake. All of the banchan were delicious. The banchan also comes with unlimited refills. The kim bop was so good. Not sure what all the ingredients were but it was very tasty and well made. The rice was also very good. It was not an afterthought like a lot of Asian restaurants. The rice was cooked properly and of high quality. The soondubu chigae was also very tasty. Not as spicy as I like but had lots of flavor. My one criticism is the lack of seafood. There was some but not really in balance with the amount of silken tofu and egg in the dish. Overall I would recommend Korea House and although I haven't yet tried the BBQ or the hot pot, I sure they would be excellent choices. If you're craving some authentic Korean flavors, give this spot a try.

The service is prompt and the food comes out quickly and hot. I always like to get the bulgogi and kimchi jjigae as my staples but have also tried other dishes that are a hit too. The seafood pancake appetizer is really good. The prices are reasonable compared to some other places I've been, the total was about $30.

It came out and there was enough meat to feed maybe a toddler. For 150 bucks you'd think there would be more meat especially for the chicken. 25-30 dollars for a couple ounces of chicken is insane. Overall the service and quality of the food isn't horrendous. But the skimping on the meat is absolutely outrageous. Ambience is cool I guess. Lower the prices if your gonna charge upwards of $40 for a couple ounces of beef

The beef shank soup was underwhelming, especially being the most expensive thing we ordered... You'd never know. Bland white broth and noodles with some sliced beef that wasn't fall-apart tender like shanks can be. This was just sliced beef cooked in broth and not very tender either. I can't recommend it. The Saturday specials all sound like my favorites! Maybe just came on the wrong day. We appreciated the casual eating area, and the real dishes. Still, the food would not bring me back. It wasn't enough to impress.

It was tough n chewy (overcooked--you need to cook on high heat but quickly so that it melts in your mouth) and overly sweet (need to balance out marinade) compared to my eomeonim's which I usually compare Galbi recipes to.

Overall, it's a nice takeout choice if you don't want to cook/if you're looking for a filling, time-to-pig-out meal --but if your goal is for quality korean I'd opt for something else.

Here's the thing: you almost never go to a place where you have to make your own food and the staff is still so attentive. The service here is excellent! The restaurant is always well maintained and the ambiance is inviting but still feels like you're in for a treat with the family or your friends. I think the quality of ingredients is fantastic and the selection seems to be ever growing. Highly recommend this place. Try it! read more

It's less of a bowl and more of a colorful ecosystem of flavors. Meanwhile, the Korean pork taco was a delicious surprise. Pro Tip: Next time I'd try their Korean ice cream pops.

I looked at the menu and for the dry pot, you need to select a min. of seven items from the menu. If doing dry pot, let the staff know, as there's a separate menu for it. I went with med. spice, added: squid x 2, rice noodles x 2, shrimp x 2, beef brisket x 2, pork belly x 2, baby bokchoy x 1, chinese cabbage x 1, egg plant x 1, dry tofu x 2, & enoki mushroom x 1 Yes, added a lot and it's because the menu was not helpful. Lot of the items are singular, couldn't tell if "Squid" meant 1 or 1 serving. If it was 1 serving, how many squids came in a serving? As I wasn't sure, some of them I ended up ordering two. IE: Shrimp, I got 2 orders, there were 9 or 10 shrimps... had I know 1 order was equal to 5 shrimps, I would have ordered just 1. I wish they would update their menu to reflect the topping items so the customers know how many comes in a order. My bill came out to $70, yeah, it can get expensive! It took some time to get the food... but because I ordered lot of items, the food that came out was good for 5 people :) It was good, loved the medium spice and definitely hit the spot. Oh and yes, had leftover and took it home. I thought I was going a good job of eating, but barely made dent in the plate. I brought the leftovers home and had two more meals out of it. If you are in EL area, definitely visit the place and if you go, go with friends to try other offerings.

I went and got my wood but, determined to stop for lunch before the 1.5 hr drive to my jobsite, I popped into the Whistlepig. Four people waited ahead of me, one with a family-sized order, and my wait was about seven or eight minutes. That's when I snapped the shots Being a cheapskate, I opted for the pork sandwich, jambalaya, and collards. The order was bagged and handed to me practically instantly. I turned around to face a self-serve bbq sauce bar featuring 1oz containers to fill with your choice of 5 different *homemade* sauces and three or four from sweet baby ray. I left the grocery-store stuff for the next guy and filled up on the unique ones. The jambalaya was nice spice level and flavorful with a fair amount of meat. The pork sandwich was good, except for the lump of crispy fat which was DELICIOUS!! I think I've had better collards, though these were alright. I ate my meal in their track-side picnic table pavilion. A freight went by and was quite loud. So, it was authentic whistlepig ambience. I'd do it again. Next time I'll try the brisket, coleslaw, and hopefully some smoked chicken. And I'll get the dessert. Maybe if I get back there in summer they'll have the peach crisp!!

Their sauces were the high point and elevated the meats from disappointing to average for the price which is quite cheap IMO. Mac and cheese and Cole slaw were just fine as well.
