    Kpot special broth
    Jenny H.

    Since I've heard of this place it was exciting to see this location open need and had wanted to try. We came on a Friday afternoon for their lunch. Upon entry you see neon light disco-ish K-bbq tables. You let the hostess know how many and they usher you to the table. FYI. Everyone at the same table must order the same deal (BBQ or hotpot only or both). Once seated, the waiter came to take order for drinks & hot pot broth and gave instructions for ordering. There's a small buffet bar in the back with some fried items, banchan (side dishes like kimchi), fruits, all the sauces & ice cream for dessert. We fill a plate of buffet bar goodies and wait for meat & veggies to arrive. Then the cooking & eating begins... They have à la carte items if you don't want to cook but this is definitely a cook you own food place. Overall the raw food selections were ample, the marinate, sauces & broth outstanding, and could use a little better selection of dessert. The services could be more attentive but overall great place great prices esp. lunch. Will come back next time around the area.

    My family and my husband wanted to check out this spot . The inside looked very futuristic but I should had done more research prior to coming as to if you had to cook yourself or does someone cook the BBQ K Pot yourself. We are used to the spot we have gone in NJ where they cook it . At this location you have to cook it yourself. I felt the quality of the meat wasn't that great and the portions that they gave you were not equivalent to how many people was with you. We even ordered more and still came out with the same amount. Plus the server said that theres already seasoning on the meats but if you wanted to theres different seasoning in the back you can grab but the meat that has already been seasoned you couldn't really taste anything. The server we had was a a bit slow we were waiting a while , then when we wanted to leave they just disappeared. We wanted to get the check to leave but we waited a good 10 - 20 mins before tracking them down and then had another waiter try and find them . Overall I thought it was a okay place I wouldn't seek it out. Plus I thought it was very expensive to go during dinner time. I would have opted to go during lunch time.

    Super excited to see this KPOT location open up in Middletown! I actually have not been to locations in NYC to compare but this location was very spacious and accommodating - it wasn't too crowded at all. We waited just under 5 min for our party of 6 (5+baby) to be seated when our estimated wait time was about 25 min, on a Saturday evening around 6. You see a virtual waitlist on your phone so you can go shopping in the meantime! They brought us a booster seat for baby and our server Natalie was very sweet and earnest, and was happy to describe the process and specials. You end up ordering everything on an iPad except drinks. The food comes so fast that we had to ask someone and wait for our grill to be prepared and warm up because all our food was just there already. We did korean bbq only for $38 on a weekend, and while the food comes fast, the grill itself is pretty small. They leave a little too much space for the hotpot burners and the plates, so we had to wait a long time for stuff to cook for 5 people. They have a sauce station along with some already prepared foods (coconut shrimp, french fries, wings, chicken nuggets, kimchi, fruit, dessert) to snack on while you wait. The kimchi was really good and the meat selection was a long list too! Pleased with the experience overall and will likely be back!!

    First time? Let me be the one to tell you--GO TO KPOT! We came here to celebrate my grandma's birthday (she's been obsessed with this place since it opened), and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. It's not just dinner, it's a whole vibe, interactive, flavorful, and seriously fun. Bonus: If it's your birthday and you come with a party of 4 or more, the birthday person eats free.99! Yes, FREE. What more could you ask for? Our server, Ary, was the highlight of the night. Such a sweet and funny guy--he gave total Bad Bunny energy (in the best way) and had my grandma laughing the whole time. That alone made the night unforgettable. The place is super clean, fast-paced, and the staff keeps things running smoothly. Whether you're a hot pot pro or new to it, KPOT is such a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

    They turned up the white lighting (or who knows, but it's not dark blue in there anymore!) and now I can see what I'm cooking. Service also still great. A++++

    The service is amazing, the marinade of all the BBQ meats are so delicious. You can't beat the prices and the bar drinks are strong ;) Highly recommend KPOT in MIDDLETOWN, NY.

    The music is uncomfortably loud, so loud we had to yell at each other during dinner, is this place a nightclub?

Our server, didn't grt her name, not sure if she's new, but definitely not attentive enough, also didn't come around often, but whatever. I got the ribs(they ask dry or wet, I chose wet) with this blueberry applesauce yummyness and even tastier baked beans. I loved everything I got. My husband got the brisket, which on the menu says smoked for 14hrs,give or take, and it was flavorless, just meat on his plate. Very disappointed. He shouldn't have to douse It with the sauces that are on the table. So will we return? Not sure. I love ribs so I probably will, but he wont.

The restaurant interior design was probably the best part about it and honestly it is nothing to brag about. We were asked if we wanted complimentary cornbread with honey butter...and we all said yes!! I mean how can you be at a bbq place and not have cornbread. We should have known once we were given the cornbread how the rest of the meal was going to go. Unfortunately, the cornbread was colder and harder than the butter. We didn't want to pass judgement yet so we were still excited about our meal. Again, the restaurant disappointed us by lacking flavor and it being cold as well. I could only have a few bites of my smoked chicken and my husband had the brisket which was also cold and lacking flavor. I didn't even take the rest of my meal home because there was no way to salvage it; however, my husband remained hopeful that he can add flavor to his meal at home. They really failed in all areas of the dining experience and the quality food. They didn't even clear the plates between courses and the restaurant was empty. I would really hate to see this place when there are more than ten people eating. Save yourself time and money, eat at the food court. This restaurant was a total fail in our book and we will never visit it again not even for their chili.

    Americanized Korean place that mixes somewhat Westernized Korean food with slushies and ice cream…read more There's a good amount of seating (20-30 people), but it was completely empty during the length of our visit (early afternoon for lunch). The single hostess wasn't necessarily unpleasant but looked rather listless on her phone while we made our orders with her. I got the Jeyook Bokkeum (spicy pork) with purple rice. Can't really complain; it wasn't incredible, but it wasn't bad either. Banchan (side dishes) were decidedly average, however. We ordered the black sesame ice cream but halfway while eating it, we realized it wasn't actually black sesame (or at least didn't taste like it). Disappointing, but not enough to fully ruin the experience. Prices weren't great considering the quality of the food or location, but not prohibitive either. Considering the paucity of Asian food in Middletown, I'll give Seoul Sizzle a pass, but against greater competition, it probably wouldn't have lasted long in NYC.

    Finally made it back to Seoul Sizzle. The place was busy with online and takeout orders. So the…read moreservice was a bit slow. We had our usual favorites, bulgogi, bibimbap, and japchae. And our meal came with soup, miyeok guk (traditional Korean seaweed soup). I love this soup; it's usually served on birthdays to celebrate life, so you don't usually find this in other Korean restaurants. It's light and savory. The owner is really sweet, but I'm glad the restaurant is thriving from the last time I was here.

If you check out my posts, we love Korean BBQ. Unfortunately, the meats were all under seasoned. The pork belly was really bland, I tired dipping into the sauces but even that couldn't enhance the taste. My son loves egg soufflé and if you see the picture, this does not compare to the egg soufflés we've been to. Unfortunately, even the kids had a literal bad taste in their mouth. The cooking area was small and the heat not strong enough that after cooking the first 6 half strips of thinly sliced pork belly, we had to wait 7 minutes for the next batch to cook. Yeah, the place does look very deserted but picks up after 7-7:30 pm. Reading other reviews, I'm glad that some people find the place great but for Korean style BBQ and meat flavor, they totally missed the mark. You can definitely improve a lot on this.

Honestly it was refreshing to get good service that felt real. So the beef Ttukbaegi bulgogi, I thoroughly enjoyed, a lot of beef and well flavored and not an overkill of veggies. But would loved some more mushrooms though. The sauce/stew itself was really good, I keep drink it and pouring over my rice. I found the rice okay, but definitely jasmine over hard boiled rice preferred. I liked side salad and wish I had more, it had a-bit of spiced edge and was better than the typical ginger dressing you get. The bubble tea was perfect, not overly sweet and generous on the size of it, but definitely would do better in another glass since straw could not reach the boba pops well enough. another note, always appreciate a place that gives you large glass to refill your water.
