IPOT is a restaurant that offers a satisfying all-you-can-eat (AYCE) hotpot experience, with some locations also featuring BBQ options. Priced at $35 for a 90-minute session, diners can enjoy three orders with 15 items per order. The menu includes various options, but caution is advised, particularly with seafood, as freshness may vary. The hotpot experience is highly recommended, especially for those seeking a comfortable and enjoyable meal. The restaurant provides both hot pot and BBQ, making it a great choice for group hangouts. The ingredients are super fresh, with plenty of meat options, and the BBQ is done right at the table, adding to the fun atmosphere.
Each diner gets their own soup pot, which is preferred over shared pots. Meat, vegetables, and cooked food are all available in unlimited quantities, and delicious broth options are offered. The sauce bar has many options, including a variety of bottles, some unlabeled, which can cause some confusion. Ordering is convenient through a QR code, with food arriving almost immediately. Although there might be a wait during busy times, the spacious restaurant helps keep waiting times minimal. One notable aspect is the absence of bowls, which was surprising, as diners are expected to eat straight from the hotpot, and this might initially throw off some guests.
Recent reviews mention the availability of both hot pot and BBQ, highlighting the variety and freshness of ingredients. Guests enjoyed grilling their meat at the table and appreciated the friendly, professional staff. Some feedback suggested avoiding the Spicy Miso in favor of Tomyum, and noted that the condiment station's proximity to the bathroom entrance was less ideal. Overall, IPOT provides a flavorful, plentiful, and affordable hotpot and BBQ experience that is highly recommended for groups and those wanting a satisfying meal.
