    Yelpers with the post K-bbq glow ;)
    Christina M.

    It's been a while since I had Korean BBQ and KPOT did not disappoint, it was awesome! The freshness, quality, and variety of options and fantastic service were some major highlights. I hope they maintain these standards over time and this could definitely become our go to spot... I'm so glad we finally stopped in :) We had a group of 7 and this place doesn't accept reservations so we decided to try for dinner on the earlier end- 645pm. When we arrived on Friday evening the place was already packed. I saw people waiting along the seating area near the bar. I was worried it might be a while. When I first spoke to the ladies up front they said for 7 of us, we could wait for one of the large tables that seats up to 10 ppl and has 2 grill areas in the table however that could be up to a 45 minute wait.... We all had come a bit hangry hoping it wouldn't take too long. After letting them know that it was probably not going to work for us, they said we could also take a smaller group booth that typically seats 6, and only has 1 grill but had zero wait time. We took that option without hesitation! I appreciated that they offered a solution to us, to prevent changing our dinner plans due to potential long wait time. The smaller booth worked out just fine for us, we are all friends and not afraid to throw some bows to reach for the meats lol. Having 1 grill with that many people was not ideal, but getting to eat right away, that was 100% ideal. And eat we did! The table opted for the AYCE KBBQ (it has to be all, so make sure everyone in your group came to eat!). We ordered every meat option (except chicken just due to it being basic) on the menu, and found there were a few favorites among the group-- beef short rib, spicy beef bulgogi, spicy pork belly, and smoked garlic pork belly. We did a few rounds of those items. We also really enjoyed the garlic shrimp, KPOT steak, salmon, jumbo shrimp and oysters. The meats were all tender and flavorful. We also really liked having the whole garlic cloves, mushrooms, onions, and pineapple. On the buffet everyone liked the chicken wings, fried shrimp, and various sides & sauces. We did not add the hot pot option (which was only $5 more with Kbbq dinner price) and I'm so glad. Our table was consistently jammed packed and there would not have been space for anything else. 6 of us ordered drinks from the bar, and found the bar menu was good. The old-fashioned cocktails were surprisingly good and we had 2 small bottles of soju for the table- lychee and peach. Those were a nice treat throughout the meal. From the time we opened up the iPad and placed our first order, the 2-hour window began and initially we thought we would be finished well before then, but we kept ordering more items and they came out so rapidly that time flew! We used up our entire time window no problem and left there feeling full but not overly full! It was a deliciously fun time! Our server was excellent, he was friendly and engaged with our banter in a fun way, he checked on us regularly, and made sure we had everything we needed including switching out grill plates a few times. We couldn't have asked for a better K-BBQ experience at KPOT. I'll definitely come back and have hot pot next time.

    First time here and we loved it!! Totally worth the drive for us who live 40 minutes away... We know people who have recommended it the place to us. Kaizen was our server, the prep kitchen was busy so some orders took extra time... so he kept checking on our food and taking it to us. Food was yummy. We loved that the buffet was included , we opted for both hot pot and KBBQ Ice cream is also included!! And they have 3 flavors of margaritas We loved it, fun ambiance with cool photo ops in the entrance :)

    The Thai tea is great

    Wish I had one of these in my city! The atmosphere was so cool! Sat us right away, explained the easy ordering system and we got stated. We tried the bbq only. It's all you can eat and you have a 2 hour limit. Every meat was delicious! Sauces were endless. A few tables next to us got hot pot and the variety of items looks phenomenal. Next time I'm in Phoenix, this is going to be the first place I go!

    KPOT has quickly become one of my favorite AYCE spots. I love that I can enjoy both hot pot and Korean BBQ in one place, and the DIY dipping sauce bar is a huge plus. I love being able to customize my dipping sauces and sauce marinades. I'm usually not big on franchise Korean food, but this one fits the spot just perfectly. The quality of the meats was very good and noticeably fresh, which makes all the difference for an all-you-can-eat experience. The automated ordering system was interesting to me. It's basically an iPad where you can place your order at the table and it's very efficient. Efficiency is key, especially at a Korean Nall. You can eat restaurant because there's only a two hour limit for dining. For about $33.99 all-you-can-eat, it feels like a good value, especially for the amount of food and choice you get. Beware the weekend - there are long waits between 3pm to 8pm. Fortunately, our group went early in the day and only had to wait 15 minutes.

    We came to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot for the first time to celebrate my daughter, and overall it was a great experience. We ordered the hot pot + Korean BBQ combo, which was about $5 extra and absolutely worth it for the variety. The menu is extensive, and two hours is more than enough time to try multiple items. Our server Danny was excellent his attitude and energy were our favorite part of the experience. He even created a custom sauce for us that was sweet and nutty, which both my daughter and I really enjoyed. We came during happy hour (12-5 PM), and the ambiance and service were great. Everything felt modern, clean, and well-organized. The only downside for me was the strict two-hour time limit. Psychologically, it made me a little anxious since I'm a slow eater but realistically, the time was sufficient to enjoy the meal and explore the menu. Overall, we're giving KPOT a 4 out of 5 stars mainly because of the excellent service, wide menu selection, and overall experience. We'd definitely come back.

    The service was great... butttt the food was just as good. After the amazing service.. the Melona ice cream bar just tops it off.

    Beef Brisket - too thick, too tough and chewy

    We've been here before and previously had good food and service, but tonight was the complete opposite. The beef brisket, pork belly, and beef tongue were very poor quality. The slices were cut far too thick and large, making the meat extremely tough and chewy. We literally could not chew some of the pieces and had to swallow them whole. We politely asked if the meat could be sliced thinner so it would actually be edible, but were told they "couldn't slice it any thinner" and that was basically the end of the conversation. The manager, Gabe, was not accommodating at all. He listened to our concerns but did nothing to resolve them. Instead, he dismissed the issue by saying he had eaten the meat earlier and thought it was fine. For a Friday night family dinner at $34.99 per person, this was a terrible experience. We left disappointed and unable to enjoy our meal. Between the poor meat quality and the lack of customer service, we will not be returning. Management needs to take customer feedback seriously and improve both quality control and service if they want customers to come back.

    Good first time! Definitely different type of grill from the usual I've seen. They have a self serve for appetizers, sauces, sides, and desserts. Over all, the meats they had were good. We ended up upgrading our lunch to the dinner for another 8 dollars so we can get the short ribs. A hack my brother did with the mussels is get some butter and chopped garlic and put it on the mussels so it would melt as they were on the grill....probably my favorite thing we had!! Our server was very patient and kind and always refilling our water cups. The music definitely gets to you if you're listening..it's all country Christmas music lol.

    The service was quick, and the food tasted amazing! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area

    There's no such thing as multi-tasking. Your brain just quickly switches between tasks, which means you're not doing your best at any task. That's why when faced with the choice of BBQ, hotpot, or both- I chose hotpot and promised BBQ I would return soon. My first experience at KPOT was flawless. Wide array of meats, veggies, and seafood in a convenient individual hotpot. The sauce & condiments bar seemed to go on forever. My second visit for BBQ revealed some quality issues. The Short Ribs were cut paper thin (to mask toughness?), Finger Ribs were sinewy, and Pork Cheeks were sliced too thick to be palatable. I did like the Prime Brisket, Bulgogi, and Smoke Garlic Pork Belly so it was hit/miss. Consistency is salient though. They could get better Short Rib & put a per person limit on it if it hurts their bottom line. What was consistent both times was their business operations. Food orders came out in minutes. Empty plates were constantly being cleared. Water refills and grill changes, psychically well-timed. Workers were moving every second like it's Christmas week at LAX (in a good way). KPOT currently has over 100 locations in 36 states, bringing KBBQ & hotpot to people who think they can multi-task. Soon, the brand is coming to CA, and I look forward to stopping by for hotpot...or BBQ.

They skipped us and took another group that arrived after us. Then, 18 minutes later, we finally got a table, and I still had to wait another 15 minutes just to order meat slices. We were also very confused about how things worked there. They have a sushi bar, but nobody explained how to order or get sushi. After we ordered two plates of beef belly slices, no servers came to check on us again. Honestly, for $35 per person, I don't think it's worth going back.for service that we got for 2 plates of meat slices nay nay

With rising food prices, I thought it was a great value. The service was excellent, which can sometimes be hit or miss at small casual spots, and the ambience was nice.

The food did take a little while to come out, and the broth was slightly gritty. Maybe possibly due to the soup I chose. I also noticed the bowls are shallow and packed with meat and vegetables, so there wasn't much actual soup. When I asked about it, I was told additional broth would be an extra charge, which was a bit disappointing.

That said, my partner and I got the XL Beef Combo 1 and ended up having to take home a third of it. Meat quality is great, and portions are good. They have the best cucumber kimchi I've ever had, and fantastic kimchi soup that's not too spicy. The beef belly and bulgogi were our favorite meats. Many of their options like the green salad, bulgogi, marinated ribs, and vegetables were not nearly as sweet as I often find them in other KBBQ joints, which was a great change. The service is great. I didn't feel waited on, I felt like I was just generally seen. There's a doorbell if you need something quickly. Otherwise all staff were super friendly and anticipated our needs with grill changes which was nice. The atmosphere is great. It's small and casual but very comfortable and upscale at the same time. It feels very relaxed while maintaining a high standard. The music is great (for us), all kinds of EDM at a good volume. And no TVs, which is actually nice - it let us focus on the vibes, the food, and each other. Many other parties were laughing and having a good time. We spent about 130 between the two of us, having ordered an XL combo and an extra side (chicken buldak - I couldn't eat the noodles but the chicken was bomb). It was a great way to spend a Friday night. We plan to make this a regular spot in our rotation - we still have a lot of sides and meats to try. Well done, please keep it up. Would recommend.
