Special shoutout to Mr. Bill! He noticed my Navy T-shirt, thanked me for my service, shared that he was a veteran too, and offered a military discount. That's the kind of genuine hospitality you don't see every day. He was friendly, explained the menu, and made the whole experience easy. The food came out so fresh off the grill it almost qualified as a fire hazard for my tongue. The restaurant was clean, the food was good, but the customer service was what really stood out. The ordering tablets were also a huge plus... no awkwardly trying to make eye contact with a server every time you wanted another round. Much respect to Mr. Bill. Thank you for your service, sir! read more

I had a good experience at KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. The food was pretty good & it was fun to do both hotpot and KBBQ at the same place. It wasn't as good as either would be on their own, but was a nice combination. We went for lunch on a Tuesday & it wasn't super busy. They are doing a bunch of construction around the location, so just be aware. Lots of parking in the strip mall parking lot. Food was pretty good. We got both the KBBQ and the hot pot. I liked the selection of food & really liked the garlic marinated Chicken in the KBBQ. I also liked the peach green tea. Otherwise - everything was pretty standard. I also thought the mushroom base was just ok. The sauce bar was pretty good & well stocked. Interior was nice. It felt pretty modern, although it was a little loud & hard to hear other people at our table. Service was good - we got all of our food pretty quickly & our server made many stops by our table. Overall, good experience read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Interior cooking situation - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

All you can eat and you can't go wrong! We came for lunch and it was yummy!! Food was really good and service was awesome!!! We were given an iPad and every time we ordered items as we ate, it came out within minutes! Will be coming back for more!!! read more

It's definitely a fun atmosphere. The service is friendly. The foo comes out in a timely manner. There is a sauce buffet on the back wall, along with some fried foods for appetizers. I'm not real picky about my crab Rangoons, but I think they have pretty good ones for a buffet. The fun atmosphere can get noisy, but it's fun. Cooking your own food is a nice environment to have a good laugh, and you can accompany it with a cocktail. I've never been for dinner, but I imagine it gets really noisy. It would be fun for groups. read more

So happy we could finally try this place! It was pretty good and it's a nice addition to the area. I liked that they combined hot pot and KBBQ together and wish there were more restaurants that played around with mixing experiences like that. Our server was really nice and stopped by pretty frequently even though she had a big party she was having to attend to at the same time at another part of the restaurant. She was really informative about how everything there worked and made the whole experience really straightforward. I wish I had gotten her name but we went on a Wednesday night and she had warm toned dyed blonde hair so if you see her, she's awesome. The menu had some interesting items I haven't seen at other hot pot or KBBQ spots I've tried in the past so it was nice to be able to try some new items. The drink menu was EXTENSIVE for both alcoholic and non alcoholic options too. The food quality tasted pretty decent and the amount of options you had to choose from on the menu leaves you with a bit of everything for most dietary preferences. It looked like they also do drink specials during the week too. I didn't really like seeing the AI promotional flyers around the restaurant that they had up since it's so simple to just go into a program like Canva or the countless other free options available online and make a basic flyer. Every time I see a business go lazy on things like that, it makes me wonder what other areas of the business they're willing to skimp on or be lazy about that aren't obvious to customers like hygiene standards, food quality, or paying their staff decently. Hopefully that's not the case here. Other than that, it's a really nice spot and it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Great improvement since opening Meat service is better, wait has improved still needs a little more hustle Food quality is still great Beef options is better than other locations read more

IMMACULATE venue. AMAZING food. STELLAR service. This is a bargain spot, if you love KBBQ or HotPot... And, even more exciting if you're looking to have both! Having just opened in November 2025, everything was shiny & new, with thoughtful design details - - like the installation of 6 large a/c units, drop down exhaust vents over every grill top, and cooking utensils like needle tongs that add culinary aesthetics. LOTS of booths/tables & seating in the huge dining room, in addition to a semi-private back room (that would be perfect for hosting a party of up to 20 guests). It's spacious and airy, which is a nice contrast to similar venues that feel stuffy & claustrophobic. It's got a chic, K-pop style vibe (with neon signs and teddy bears that bring childlike nostalgia), without being over the top. It's hip and clean, welcoming & appealing. Though the local community was anxious over the painstaking Grand Opening, it all seems to have been worth the final details. The staff is friendly, well-trained, and extremely attentive. Shout out to our server, Victor, who never skipped a beat. He gave us guidance & recommendations that made for a high quality experience, changed out our grill top with each round of cooking, topped us off with refills time & again, and accommodated off-the-menu requests (like ice cream & a boba parfait for our toddler and made sure we snagged a special photo with the birthday bear). We will make it a point to request Victor as our server each time we visit! The COOLEST feature this place offers is ordering your food electronically from a tablet at your table. Nice tech upgrade that streamlines the order process! You browse the pictures & identifiers and are able to customize your meal at your fingertips, and the kitchen crew appears within a matter of minutes to wheel out your plates. Several broth options are available in addition to dozens of meats, seafood, and veggies, along with noodles & rice.... There are so many options for soup and bbq! If you are ambitious enough to want even more selections outside of the table service, there is also a hot AND cold buffet that is part of the AYCE. You'll find Korean fried chicken, spring rolls, sesame balls, and other seasonal ready-made bites, along with kimchis and traditional vegetable side dishes. Fruit and an array of condiments (sauces/dips, herbs & seasoning) are also part of the self-serve. We have been to other locations of the same name, and by comparison the Shenandoah establishment offers that "extra something" that makes the best. We are adding this one to our Top Favorites list. Love this place! read more

If you're hungry and never experienced KPOT dinner, this is the place for you! We were sent a mailer 20% off for their grand opening and didn't get to use it til today! At first it was an overwhelming load of info at the hostess stand. They will ask your children's ages which charges differently for adult meal. Based on what you order is where you are seated... so we ordered soup & grill. Our spread was a varied of veggies, meats, noodles, and lots of meats... just add it to your cart and submit your order! Just make sure you don't order too much and waste food. There may be fees on that.. not sure .. but don't waste food. ;) Our waiter was great, but he didn't tell us there are sauces for our dishes. The buffet menu is included in your meal and the desserts. You have two hours to ALL YOU CAN EAT...order. It may take a little longer to digest and leave. Come VERY hungry. Our spread cost us $120. We pretty much ordered two of everything for a family of 4. All staff are friendly and welcoming! Definitely a great experience! read more

We got there right when they opened for lunch on a weekday and there was no wait. Open a month now per our waitress who seemed new but was very nice. She explained the process and took our order for the soup base for the hotpot. I usually go for the tonkatsu but this time I went for the Szechuan spicy. It had a good kick. The combo bbq plus hotpot is only $5 more. But the catch is everyone at the table has to do the combo. So you order yourself off a tablet. Our waitress said there's a 2 hour limit to eat, and I think the time may be displayed on the tablet as I saw a timer on the checkout tab. Not sure. In any event there's a 30 item max order per table for each submission, and then wait 3 minutes before ordering more. But your table probably can't fit it all. We did 30 and there was no room for anything more on the table. Also note we were told that uneaten food over a pound is chargeable. We only had 2 pieces of tofu at the end of the meal however. For the bbq the seasoned meats tasted better. There's an instruction poster on the wall at all tables saying how long to grill stuff. And since I always end up being the griller for my table it was helpful. They offered to change our bbq grill a couple of times during the meal which was nice. When we got there the hot items on the buffet line were pretty good. Like the crab Rangoon and chicken wings and chicken bites. Dumplings and takoyaki were good too. Fresh. I didn't really care for the sauces. I think I just didn't get the right combo although I'm usually pretty good at that. The meats were good but none were wagyu. You can get the dinner menu for lunch but it cost like $12 bucks more for not a lot of items we saw that appealed to us (beef tongue, signature pork cheek, etc). Ice cream cups are off the menu for dessert but are free. So ask. Strawberry raspberry vanilla and chocolate. For your birthday they bring out the Kpot bear, sing a loud obnoxious song that's sure to bring you embarrassment and display a lit up billboard that says happy birthday and I believe a customizable message. We got out of there with 15 minutes to spare. It was pretty full. Waiting area has barrels to sit on. And they're open thanksgiving. I've been to a number of these Korean hotpot / bbq AYCE places and it was pretty solid. You'll come out of there smelling like a chimney stack so dress accordingly. read more

A must try! My family and I dined in on a Sunday night. It was pretty busy but we were able to walk on ama be seated immediately because there was ample staff. They offer a bar for all of the sides, which was a true delight. We were able to get over favorite items like kimchi, cucumber salad, seaweed salad and a large assortment of sauces. Our server Victor came over right away to take our drink orders. I've never seen such an assortment of meat and seafood on a dinner Korean BBQ menu. All the options were fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more

Such a great spot! The food was incredible, and doing both hot pot and KBBQ is definitely the way to go. Huge shoutout to our server who was super nice and hooked us up with the best sauce recommendations. Highly recommend! read more

Definitely enjoyed it, but it was chaos with a group of 7. Ayce spot with a salad bar. Like most AYCE places you have to finish what you order otherwise be charged extra. I like this one as everyone gets their own soup pot/burner and 8 options of soups. I didn't hear anyone complain about what they got. I enjoyed mine which was the spicy Schezuan...not too spicy. Also they had a burner in the middle to grill on. Good for all dietary needs. Lots of veg/tofu options. Beef items stood out, some seafood options as well, though particularly wasn't a fan the cuttlefish or baby octopus. Food was coming out so fast I don't think i took one food shot. Great price for ayce. Notice on website there is a How to KPot page...wish I would have reviewed that page before going. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

This is a fun food experience and totally worth the price. Service is excellent, friendly, and prompt; our server was more than happy to answer our questions and checked on us often--but not too often. Kpot Korean BBQ and Hot Pot really nails the balance between interactive dining and a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere. The ambiance feels modern and energetic without being overwhelming, making it perfect for both casual nights out and small group gatherings. The grill-at-your-table setup keeps things engaging. The variety is impressive, with plenty of options to mix and match, so you never get bored. It's one of those places where you can take your time, enjoy the experience, and leave completely satisfied. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

This place is just what our area needed. It is so hard to get good food in the Woodlands area. Everything is overpriced and tasteless ( this is coming from a person who doesn't mind paying for GOOD food). But I get really annoyed when you drop a lot of cash on trash. The vibe is fun, and the music is good. We went on a Friday night. It is family-oriented with large tables for large families. It looks like I saw a little room with a projector that can be reserved, if I'm not mistaken (call for accuracy). We got the kpot and the bar just to try everything out. Both did not disappoint. That Korean fried chicken on the bar was a banger. We will be back often. I will also inquire about party trays for that chicken. All the other food on the bar was just as good. They also have a large selection of seasonings and sauces for your BBQ. So now the Kpot... It was a hit, too. So good, and the broth was a hit. I don't know if I am just that good of a chef...lol... @504cookhouse... or that Korean bbq was some of the best I have had. Our waiter was cool and explained everything thoroughly. We will put this place in our normal rotation. Love, Love, Love this place. I hope they stick around for a long time. read more

Never had a hot pot so we opted for both with bbq and hot pots. Meats and veggies are consistent regardless of your approach though they are thinner for the pot. Think I prefer the bbq but nothing but praise for the mushroom broth option. Loved the condiment bar which also featured snack like items. read more

Truly a 10/10 experience! Could not come up with a negative even if I tried. Customer service was outstanding, asked if they could change the channel on the TV to the game that night and immediately looked up and they had it on. Asked about drinks, server didn't know specifically and he immediately asked someone over the walkie talkie and got an answer immediately. Truly exemplary customer service from the servers, to the host, to everyone that worked there. Food wise, they had a ton of options! Meats were fresh, high quality, and delicious. I did both hotpot and kbbq. The hot pot was one of the best broths I ever (Korean seafood tofu). Prices were reasonable and the food bar selection with sides, appetizers, and sauces were plentiful. Best kbbq/hotpot I've had! read more

Been 3 times, all consistent in service and food quality. Hot pot is the best part. It can get kinda smoky when full inside the restaurant.

High-energy, AYCE spot with a great sauce bar. Perfect for big groups and fans of doing both BBQ and Hot Pot

Had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was very clean, and the hostesses were friendly upon entry, though things felt a bit disorganized as they weren't quite sure where to seat us (despite us being a party of two). We were initially seated at a large table, but asked to move to a booth since we didn't need that much space and wanted to free it up for a larger group. Our first server seemed hesitant about the change, offering a privacy screen instead even though several booths were open. After a bit of back and forth, we were finally moved, and our new waitress was friendly and super accommodating. We ordered the BBQ and hot pot combo (miso broth & tonkotsu broth). The meat selection was impressive, ranging from the basics like beef and chicken to more adventurous options like frog legs and octopus. The hot pot, however, was just okay, as the broths lacked much flavor. The BBQ, on the other hand, was great! My only complaint was that the grill burned quickly, possibly due to the temperature or the oil being used, and we had to have it replaced several times during the meal. Overall, I'd come back for the BBQ, but I'd skip the hot pot next time! read more

Very cool and busy restaurant! Things that worked well, waitstaff was great, sauce bar cool concept, felt very rushed with the number of people. Their Banchan was not as good as others and only had a few options. Meat quality was good, but I did not really care for their marinated meats. They just were not as good as some I have had at other Korean bbq. So if you have never been to Korean bbq restaurant, give them a try. If you enjoy Korean bbq save your money and make a trip out to Spring Branch area, that's where you will find some of the best Korean Bbq restaurants. read more

First time at this location: Food was great. Service was great; kind, attentive, helpful, quick. To add, I couldn't find my phone and multiple people supported the search for it. The manager looked through the cameras extensively and we eventually found it. Honestly, so sweet and patient. Thank you guys so much for making the extra step! I am extremely appreciative! Will absolutely return. lol thank you, thank you! read more

My kids love eating here--it's always a fun experience with great service. It's a nice place to enjoy Korean food in a casual setting, though not fine dining, so it's best to go with that in mind. read more

The food is very good. We went for the lunch buffet for $21.99. We were told upon seating that the price included just the BBQ. If we wanted hot pot also, it would be additional. The wife said just for BBQ for her and I wanted both. The waiter then informed us if I got both then my wife would have to get both as well. I settled on just the BBQ then. The food was good I just didn't like the extra fees for all. Also on the BBQ, the meat selection was reduced. Unless you pay an extra fee. There are other places with good food that don't play these games. Again, the food we ate was good. I just wanted to try it all. read more

Went a couple of months ago, but it was nice. Definitely could use some more authentic food especially the banchan but overall was a good experience and food was tasty read more

Dined at Kpot Korean BBQ & Hot pot tonight to help celebrate my daughter's 23rd birthday and LOVED IT. Our party did the Hot pot only tonight instead of the combo that would have included Korean BBQ.

Jacob gave us a good run down of how hot pot works and remained attentive throughout our dining experience. Thank you Jacob for not forgetting to send out the Kpop bear and team to sing a very happy happy birthday to my daughter. We will be back! read more

Bill was absolutely AMAZING when we came in a few weeks ago! He was so attentive, kind, and on top of everything the entire time. What really stood out was how considerate he was of our kids -- he checked in about our baby and our 5 year old, which we really appreciated as parents. He made us feel so comfortable and taken care of and truly went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. Hands down one of the best servers we've ever had -- shoutout to Bill for being awesome! read more

This is the first time at Kpot Korean BBQ and Hot Pot, and, with the help of our server Fernando, this was a very enjoyable and unique experience. You sit at a table with a center grille and 4 ( if needed for more people)hot pot surfaces. It was just my friend and I for the lunch BBQ and Hot Pot. We ordered different soup bases. Mine was the Thai Tom Yum, which, according to Fernando, was probably most similar to a hot'n sour soup . To this base I added Gyoza, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, sliced beef belly, and ramen. When I mentioned that it was a little spicy, Fernando brought over a bowl of hot water to try to dilute some of the spice. At the buffet hot bar I took some Crab Rangoon, a spring roll, a fried chicken drumstick, and a chicken tender, and fried shrimp. And I used one of the 20 or so sauces and additives: sweet and spicy sauce with added garlic and green onions. For the grille, we had smoked garlic pork belly, wagyu tips, beef bulgogi, garlic chicken, and garlic shrimp . Everything tasted wonderful and we really enjoyed this experience. The lunch BBQ and Hot Pot was around $25 each,but you could add as much and as many times as you wanted. Again I would like to recognize Fernando for his superb service. read more

This place was delicious! Been waiting for a kbbq place to open in this area and this place definitely took its time opening. Service was fast, fresh, and good selection.
