    This was such a fun experience. We had no idea what to expect as this was our first time at a hot pot restaurant. The server gave us a rundown of how everything worked as well as what meats he recommended. They also have a sheet posted at every table that takes the guess work out of how much time you should cook each type and slice of meat. The appetizer bar was great and they also had a huge selection of sauces. Definitely will be returning to try some different menu items!

    Had lunch at KPOT (Korean BBQ & Hot Pot) this week and it's an interesting way to combine Chinese Hot Pot and Korean BBQ at one table. You can opt for one or the other...or for a reasonable upcharge enjoy both. Our server Jae was incredible...she explained how it all worked and made sure we had everything we needed. You can order a ton of food here, and it is easy to get a bit overwhelmed. In addition to the HP & BBQ, they still have a section (Hot Bar & Sauce Bar) where you can create your own sauces and enjoy fruit, chicken wings, gyoza, other finger foods and sweets.  While I have done one or the other...doing both is fun and satisfying when you start eating it all. Jae kept coming by to check on us, clear plates, and bring more food if needed. Overall, the food for BBQ (steak, shrimp, pork belly, etc.) was good and grilled nicely. The Hot Pot ingredients were plentiful and fresh while the broth was OK. Dining here is an adventure and a lot of fun, plus having a great server like Jae really made the time enjoyable.

    The place is very nice. The tables are spread out roomy and not too close. You order your as much food you can eat on a tablet and they bring it to you. I had the hot pot. They will advise you not to waste too much cause it will be charged. I enjoyed it and will come back to try bbq.

    The place to come on an empty stomach. The service here pretty much self serves. Your ordering on iPad and they bring out whatever you need. The sauce and appetizers bar self serves. Lots of tables and seating for big group. Everyone just has to agree to do both grilled and hot pot or just one. The location easy with plenty of parking space. I enjoy coming here for Korean bbq.

    My mother took me to her recently favorite place to eat which is this hot pot/korean bbq place. It is all you can eat for a set price. The host greeted us and was smiling and jolly. Then they accommodated us on where we could sit. The service was decent as they don't really do much except come and pick up bowls when they are empty or to refill the drinks. They also only have beer. Later during the meal, more servers appeared and it was better. The meats and seafood are delicious and so are the vegetables. The soup base called golden chicken was savory. The kimchi and radishes were also amazing. There is also a bar where people can make their own sauces and grab desserts. The only thing I did not like was that the ice cream spoons are laid out and everyone was touching all the spoons which is a bit unhygienic. The place is definitely a vibe though with good music and energy.

    I finally had lunch here after yearning to try it for a while. It was a great dining experience. I was solo at lunch and enjoyed it but thought it would be fun with more people to share. The waiter told me to take my time, it was all you can eat. I typically can't eat enough for all you can eat, but if you are a big eater this is the place for you. It was fun to grill my food, I prefer "an experience" while dining instead of just having food put in front of me. The menu shows all the different choices of meat/seafood/veggies you can order. The menu shows small plates, I ordered too much because I didn't realize that the picture on the menu was the plate with the amount that would be delivered to my table. Some things on the menu are only available for dinner but there were plenty of choices for lunch. There was a large "salad bar" area with a large selection of sauces for dipping and cooking. It also had a small selection of ban chan dishes, and a few desserts. One thing I really liked about the food was the naturalness. Many asian restaurants have so much sauce or deep frying that you can barely taste the meat/seafood/veggie. This is straight food with you controlling the sauce levels. The ambiance was very comfortable, the booths had high walls which offers more privacy than the average booth. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food here was good and you get a large portion for your moneys worth, also the establishment was very clean! My only downfall was the service. We had no explanation for the menu or how the pricing worked from either the hostess or waitress, also no help with cooking the meat. We wanted to do both the hot pot and the bbq (as part of our group was vegetarian, side note also only one vegetarian friendly broth available) but were charged for two meals per person even tho our table was split between one half doing bbq and the other half doing the hot pot. Also, the cocktails advertised are not served yet as they still do not have a liquor license, only beer and seltzers at the moment.

    Happy birthday dinner at Kpot

    A very unique and first in middle Tennessee Korean bbq & hotpot combo restaurant, Very nice and open dining room with several different options for hotpot and grill. We try both hotpot and grilled meat at the same time. Foods are delicious and full of flavor. Staffs and service are excellent. Great dining experiences, Highly recommended

    Amazing service, food was delicious. The restaurant is modern decor and is very spacious! Catered to my gluten sensitivity with no issues! Gluten free options are easily identifiable on the menu :)

    We visited during the first few opening days and it was packed to the brim. Despite the crowd, our service was still top-notch! Our server, Carter, absolutely killed it with the recommendations and service. He consistently checked up on us and ensured we had everything we needed even in the middle of a rush. When there was an accident with one of our beverages, the manager at the time offered an instant replacement and was extremely polite about it. The ambiance stood out with the neon lights and the fitting music. For AYCE KBBQ and Hot Pot, you definitely can't go wrong with it. The food tasted fresh and the price was fairly average. Although I do wish they offered a wider variety of banchan dishes and other sides, the main food made up for it. Overall, we'll definitely be coming back! - 10/10 for the Service and Experience

    My husband and I have made it a point to have "date night" we had to force ourselves to do it. With today's climate and what's going on in the U.S., we can get consumed with the noise, not to mention the stresses of what's going on with work. So, we picked this restaurant that had great reviews and decided to experience it as well. As a person who lived in Korea and Japan, I've had my fair share of Hot Pot or Shabu-Shabu restaurants! Here's my honest review: As we walked in on a Friday, yes we braved it, there wasn't really a line or waiting period. The servers or hosts weren't really engaging of the people/patrons who just walked in. There were three of them. Not one said welcome as we walked in. One did acknowledge us as the people in front of us stepped aside only to say "we will get to you, first we will be seating the people in front of you." Ok... being Asian, I'm used to that kind of service from Asians that are Koreans and Japanese. I'm Filipina, we greet everyone as soon as you walk in! But it's a cultural thing so, it's fine! We didn't wait that long. The hosts were personable when it was time, I guess, to be personable, and we were seated right away. We told them it was our first time there at KPot but not our first time at a "Hot Pot" restaurant. So we knew what to expect. However, .... not all Hot Pots are equal! The services tend to be different or the restaurant have their own spin to make them either stand out or cater to their customers in a unique way. This KPot had an iPad for ordering, which we found out later when the server came. Nice touch! Rather than a laminated menu, which they had as well, where you can see pictures of the menu. Ok KPot you have a one up on the other hot pot restaurants! So why did I give it a 3 star? Here's why: 1. I noticed the table across from us had the Olive Oil cooking spray. We had the Pam cooking spray. I was wondering if the server was going to give us what we wanted or preferred. NOPE! Do I mind? No, but I would not do this review any justice. The establishment should have the servers hosts knowledgeable and cognizant of the options they offer and let the customer decide. 2. The Tempura did not look like Tempura. We thought it was brought to us by mistake. It looked horrible. Sorry, I did not take a picture, but I will next time! 3. The condiments, buffet items, and dessert were like an afterthought. Just get your sauces and go back and order from the iPad! 4. The steaks were kind of bland. You'd have to dip it in a sauce to get it savory. Now, I must say and give props to the kimchi! It was delicious! I was stationed in Korea when I served in the military and the taste was divine! Overall, KPot is ok. Unlike the other restaurant hot pot that makes you feel like this is a different experience! Would we go back to KPot, maybe. If I were to choose, I'd go to their competitor!

    Our hotel in Nashville was directly across the street from Shabu-Shabu, which made it an incredibly…read moreconvenient option within walking distance of several hotels in the area. Our group ordered the Hotpot and BBQ combination for $34.99 per person. It was absolutely worth the price. There were endless combinations of proteins, vegetables, starches, sauces, and condiments, allowing everyone to customize their meal exactly how they wanted. We arrived starving and left completely satisfied. The atmosphere was laid back, the service was quick, and the overall experience was fun and interactive. I would definitely go again.

But if you're not seated next to the conveyor belt or you don't wanna wait for things to come around almost everything on the conveyor belt is also available on the Wall sections on the other side as well. The barbecue meats were well marinated when that was the case. It seemed fresh and they were a nice thick cut, which is great for the barbecue. The self-serve hot pot meat was a new thing for me. I've only ever been where they bring it out to you and if you're not used to Hot pot seeing the frozen meat rolls can be a little bit jarring but it's OK I promise. They also have a fun selection of drinks, including Boba teas with lots of options. Wheelchair accessibility: so right off the bat there's not a lot of great parking options and we did not see an accessible parking space close. There's a double door entrance, which is very tight and would be hard to navigate by a chair user on their own. Other than that this restaurant actually really wheelchair accessible, with the exception of the fact that the floors are super slippery and this I guess is for both chair users and ambulatory humans. It's just slippery. The bathrooms are fine. There's a nice accessible stall and everything was reachable and the door into the bathroom was really light. The height of the Hot pot table is actually the perfect height for a wheelchair user which is tricky at a lot of these different restaurants. So kudos to that.

I did a pick-up order, so I'll have to come back and try the hotpot, but our experience with the two dishes we ordered was good. Ordered: 1.

The fish fillets are incredibly tender. The pickled cabbage gives it a nice sour flavor to round everything out, and the soup comes with noodles which was a nice surprise.

This fit our time budget just fine as we had about 3.5 hours before our flight departs. This location is what you would expect from an ordinary hot pot restaurant with simple seating, a custom bar to choose the items you want, and a small sauce station. My lovely lady and I decided to go with the custom hot pot option where you grab a large bowl, go to the custom bar and choose the items that you want them to cook in your hot pot. They weigh all the stuff together and charge $14.99 per pound. We originally choose the House Spicy broth, but my beautiful partner asked the lady how spicy was the broth, and she did say it was actually spicy; so she asked them to downgrade my broth to the Sour and Spicy broth, as it was more mild. I'm so glad she did, as my broth still seemed quite spicy, especially the red chili oil floating at the top. I'm not sure how she was able to deal with the House Spicy level, but she was able to power through it. The sauce station was quite limited, without any sweet options to mix with the spicy oil and scallions. Overall, this place is ok for Tennessee. I feel like we are spoiled coming from the Los Angeles area where we have access to so many options with super fresh ingredients.
