I'm from out of town and was looking for a delicious, warm meal on a cold January night. I read…read moreKoreana on a couple of sites and decided to give it a try. I was skeptical at first because the location was pitch black and the building wasn't impressive. I convinced my teenage boys that we'd give it a try and it didn't disappoint. I will definitely stop in again and anytime I'm nearby.

This is in reference to a one star review implying the restaurant was not clean because the floor…read morewas sticky. We have eaten at this location for over 40 years. It was Fifi's originally. The floor has been sticky for over four decades. This restaurant is clean. As always. We have always enjoyed the cuisine even after it switched from continental to Korean.

If you're looking for a fun place to (all you can) eat, you've found it right here at Top Pot KBBQ!…read more Admittedly, we've never done the grilling (the actual BBQ). But we have done the hot pot on at least 3 occasions...we've (even my mom and my mother-in-law) been very happy each time. The menu is humongous. You say you're a carnivore? No problem. A vegetarian? Got ya covered. Gluten free? You're probably ok (maybe a little cross contamination? Dunno). The combinations of sauces and add on spices are near endless...I calculated 6.02x10^23 possibilities. Can you get enough to eat here? Well, TPKBBQ offers free refills on all meats, seafoods, and veggies! You won't go away hungry. They do have mixed drinks and beer, but I've only ever gotten pop. The wife and brother-in-law got various bubble teas, and liked them. The service and kitchen are remarkably fast and efficient. You won't sit around waiting to eat. Atmosphere? Not bad for South Toledo! One warning. The ordering policy may seem a bit draconian, but it makes sense if you think about it. It's explained in the menu, so check it out before you go. All in all, 5 stars! We'll be back (but mostly on special occasions).

Family has been in town from out of state since Thursday. We spent the weekend eating at a lot of…read morenewer Toledo establishments. Many of our families had not yet had any of the new "hotspots" It just happened to end up being a very Asian heavy weekend. (Koi/Top Pot) Top pot was great. The menu is enormous and the food and sauce combos are endless. We came in eight deep, my only complaint is not having enough large tables. If one person gets hot pot, everyone has to get hot pot. If you are going to make everyone at the table pay for hot pot, I think it's only fair to have enough hot plates for everyone at that table. I didn't even want hot pot, I just wanted the Korean barbecue portion, but I still had to pay the increased price. I get the concept, but if you are sitting at a table with six burners and there are eight people, it's a little ridiculous to make all eight of us pay for hot pot if we opt not to order broth and there's not even away for us to make a hot pot. We ordered a lot of food! There were a ton of appetizers, hot pots, and multiple rounds of ordering meats and vegetables. The staff stayed on top of it, we had our drinks refilled regularly, and we never had an empty plate. Prior to leaving, we all ordered bubble tea. This was not my first time here, but this was my first time coming with a group so large. In this instance, I didn't mind because the service truly was exceptional, but watch out for the gratuity that is added by the restaurant. Because it was a large table, they added automatic gratuity at 18 or 20% I can't remember which to be honest. I went to the podium and ordered my bubble tea to go and paid my bill. Without even thinking, I hit 20%, as I always do unless the service is terrible... Don't get me started on why we need to aggressively tip wait staff) As I was walking out, I looked down and realized I paid $62 for lunch! No alcoholic drinks, did not have a soft drink with my meal. Just korean bbq and a water plus my six dollar bubble tea to go. I figured someone else else's drinks or another person's check got added to mine. Nope! That's when I saw they had already added the automatic gratuity. So in addition to the automatically added gratuity, I paid 20% above that. Again, the weight staff were exceptional and we came in with eight people at 11:30 in the morning the minute the doors opened on a Sunday. I just want other people to be aware, not everybody has as much of a discretionary budget as I am unfortunate to have. When I checked into other people in my party suffered the same mistake. All I can say, is that waiter probably made a solid. $150 off us in tips. Good for him though!

We went on a Wednesday night when it wasn't so busy, and had a good server that didn't come off like they wanted you to rush through your meal. We got the BBQ with the soup and it was good. The self serve area was freshly stocked and looked great, even the fresh veggies were all crisp and cool when brought out. We all left stuffed and ready for a nap!

Clean, good food, and friendly employees!…read more Parking is the only difficult thing (the elevator was broken in the nearest parking garage so we couldn't park there since we have a baby with us and it was cold outside). Thankfully my husband found a spot right on the street! I chose KBBQ for my birthday dinner and my husband found this place. They have a good variety of side dishes (pumpkin, mashed potato, spicy fish cakes, etc)! The food was good and we liked the meat! The brisket wasn't too thin and the steak was delish!! They have decoration very similar to Kimchi Box with neon signs and art featuring scenes from Seoul. The employees were friendly. We want to return and try other dishes on their menu!

Based on 3-4 visits…read more For background I have spent allot of time in Korea as my wife is Korean. I am not obsessed with getting food that is authentic as long as it is good. This place is aligned fairly well though with food in Korea though ie not highly westernized. This place is in the center of the college area on Liberty and State street. The selection is not extensive but the basics are here including BBQ. Side dishes are decent, Kimchi, which is fundamental to any Korean meal and varies by region, is always included and people have strong opinions about. Theirs is OK but not top notch. Other side dishes are decent. Whatever we ordered, BBQ, Yuk Gae Jang, Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (Rice. Vegetables and beef inn stone pot), other was pretty good.....just like Seoul Garden used to be before ownership change. We used to go almost exclusively to Seoul Garden near the mall off Boardwalk but after ownership change stopped as the taste changed significantly and not for the better. Its nice to have The Seoul is an option. They have beer and soju (Ubiquitous Korean liquor in Korea that along with Kimchi is many Koreans blood) Environment of the restaurant is modern but still a bit cozy. Overall, definitely worth a try. While we are at it, I have spent allot of time in Japan on business (some vacationing too) and I know it's trendy to go there now especially with the exchange rate, and by all means go, allot to see and experience (and eat!) there. But don't overlook Korea. The two countries have a torrid history and don't want to admit they are similar in many ways....but they are and Korea is loaded with great places to go and food to eat. Traveling can be done on any budget, feel free to reach out if you want to learn more. Also love to hear from experienced travelers, love to learn of new places and things to do.

Food was very good and we tasted several of them - bulgogi, gulbi, seafood pancake, and Mozi potato corn dog. A couple suggestions to owners - the salad you serve with the kimchi box should be available on menu too. Second, there should be better at door service and telling guests how to order. Our visit seating was confusing and we had to figure out how to order. Once the team got it together a nice young lady and her dad made us feel welcomed and appreciated. It was a rocky start but, our patience was extended because we love the food and ambiance of this restaurant!

It doesn't even seem like Koreans work here anymore. Since I've been here, I've asked my other Korean friends for their opinions if they've been here recently... lol they said it sucked too.

Only good things to rave about for this place!…read more New management took over about a year and a half ago. Annie was our lovely server who was SO kind and asked if she could give our baby avocado. She brought over a nicely cut avocado plate. Sooo kind!! It was his first time trying avocado and he loved it! This will be his new favorite restaurant ;0) I am usually not a sushi lover but am slowly becoming one. I surprised my husband a lot by wolfing down everything! Everything tasted delicious!! My favorite was the Salmon On The Beach. The smokey flavor mixed with the crunchy bits was unbeatable!! I also thoroughly enjoyed the Vege Love Roll (the sweet potato was so unique and delicious)!! The Spicy tuna roll and Mickey's On Fire were also very good. We definitely would return! We also want to try their Korean dishes. Two great cuisines in one restaurant! They have a lot of Totoro decoration - so cute! And their booths look legit Japanese. I highly recommend this little hidden gem!!
