    Thought I'd give this place another try since the first time was ridiculous but could've just been because it had just first opened. It was under $100 this time and didn't get charge for not finishing the soup or rice and everything was so delicious. 10/10

    Tried k pot it was my grandsons choice for his birthday. The experience was nice and the food selection was great. Fast friendly service. Great experience. They even did a birthday song. Would go back. Dinner was enjoyable.

    Nope! This one is not it! Lovely looking restaurant and decor. Chicken was not real chicken. I know real chicken from chicken made in a lab. Kids under 5 should not be paying $15. My nephew ate 2 wing dings and maybe 3 fries. Service was ok. Bring hand sanitizer. I just do not feel this place is clean enough...the handles stayed sticky. (Husband) .....I'm not impressed. Owner please mimic yourself after the Manderin in Canada when it comes to cleanliness. Hand sanitizer should be everywhere! Thank goodness I keep my own.

    I literally frequent the KPot in east lansing, Sterling Heights and Livonia all the time. This is the WORST spot. I am posting the google closing time of 11:30pm. This woman gave us the bill before even 11pm. She kept cleaning up next to us and made us pay the bill before we even got any BBQ. This waitress and staff made us very uncomfortable. The reputation of Taylor being extremely racist and racial profiling I guess has spiked over into the businesses. I will NOT be returning to this spot. The food was okay, nothing special or different. The ambiance was okay there was barely anyone here on a Friday night which speaks volumes. The waitress told us the place closed at 11pm. She pushed us out. I've never been treated this way in any restaurant ever. I can't believe it. Will never return horrible service with Kyra B.

    I visited this establishment with my husband, two children and my sister. Overall, I would recommend based on the environment and style of the restaurant. What I would not recommend, if you plan to attend; is the price. It was 39.99 for 1 adult / 21.99 for my 7 year old and anyone under 3 was free. Mind you we went at 4pm right around dinner time. The food is great with some minor issues but it was fresh. I would be great for date night but I would not recommend taking a party

    I have been going to this restaurant for a number of years now…read more I have never been disappointed with the food. The service is very good. One of the owners/servers has a very dry sense of humor, and if you don't understand this, you might think he's being rude. I'm trying to learn a little Korean. The owner spent a little time with me helping me pronounce some of the Korean words on the menu. I appreciate this. For dinner, I had Military stew( A ramen with spam, hot dogs, cheese, and more ) and Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes). Dinner was good. Next time, I want to try the spicy Cod soup.

I traveled from California to visit my family here with…read moremy baby and the male employee was extremely rude telling me and my family that they were closed (even though the door was open and there was one table of customers eating inside). He acted so offended that we walked in through his restaurant's open door and made me feel so embarrassed and ashamed. He asked us several times why we didn't have a reservation even though the restaurant only had 1 other table occupied and reservations are not required. The employee seated us anyway but continued to harass us with his sarcastic comments. I wanted to leave and take our business elsewhere but my aunts and uncles said this is just his "humor". I felt uncomfortable the whole time. I honestly cried when we left. It was hard to eat or enjoy anything when he'd continue to make comments during the service. I haven't seen my family in months and I had been going through a rough year postpartum dealing with an additional surgery and physical therapy. I was looking forward to enjoying a nice meal with my family and my baby but I'm so disappointed in the customer service here. It made me feel like taking the trip across the country with everything I had been going through was not worth it. This place honestly has great tasting Korean food but I'm hoping the attitude of this employee changes to be a little more careful in his choices of words and body language.

Their sign is easy to see as you drive by, but my friend did give me a heads up that their door was not obvious. You need to walk through a fence and then open a non deacript door. The artwork outside is awesome! When we walked in we received a friendly greeting and were quickly shown to our seats. We had made a reservation ahead of time and there was no delay to seat us upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders right away. I appreciated that they had multiple non alcoholic drinks and at a fair price. I started with the Thai Iced tea which was delicious, but I would have loved a glass 2x the size! We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy. I would absolutely ordered these again. I would say that both of those dishes were only for 2 people. The sticky rice and jasmine rice were as to be expected, and I personally felt that the papaya salad was not as good as others I have had. The chilli noodles had an amazing broth and I would also recommend. Overall, I did enjoy our dinner but I am not sure that I would go out of my way to return. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on the sticly ribs alone, otherwise a 3.5 would be more fair. I have been hearing about Takoi for years, so maybe my epxections were too high but I was expecting a bit more.

I came on my own, ordered $25 worth of sushi, and was reading a book. When I came in they were not crowded and there were plenty of open tables (early dinner time), but by the time I left it picked up. I ordered a single piece of uni appetizer, which was $10, and figured it would be a really high quality large piece. I was pretty disappointed at 3 small uni pieces laid across rice. I was hoping for one huge piece of uni for that price. But, the quality was very good! I also had a salmon and avocado roll and spicy tuna, and both of those were very good. The standout was the spicy tuna, made with chili oil I'm sure. Spicy but not unbearable spicy. I think they had real wasabi and actually my favorite thing I ate today was their pickled ginger! The ginger pieces are crisp with a fresh crunch that I haven't gotten from typical, limp sushi ginger. I asked for low sodium soy sauce when my sushi came out and waited at least 5 minutes before giving up and using the regular soy sauce... A couple minutes later the waitress finally brought the low sodium version, said nothing about it being lost or any other possible explanation for taking so long, said something like "Oh" when she saw I had used the regular one already. But, I also think she didn't speak English. When I was more than halfway done eating but obviously still eating, she brought over the bill. As I was still eating, she came by, picked it up, and opened it to check if my card was in it, I kid you not, 3 separate times, over the course of maybe 10 minutes. I had to ask for more water when it was already empty. One time she got more water, the other time she literally walked away as I was talking to her...but again, I don't think she was purposely ignoring me as much as she seemed afraid of me? She probably thought I was laughing at her but really I just laugh awkwardly as a defense mechanism in awkward situations...oh well! Would I recommend this place for the delicious food? Sure! Would I go out of my way to come here again after whatever that service experience was? Personally, no, because I didn't feel like anyone was even trying to provide good service. If my waitress was confused I wish she would have sent someone else over to translate or for help. But maybe it's better if you speak Japanese/ignore any awkward service faux pas...the fact that it was full of Japanese people speaking Japanese is a great sign!
