Went here with friends. This is a first-time experience for us. We had a great waitress who explained how to order and cook food at our table. We were told we could order as much as we wanted and have 2 hours to eat. Any wasted food we didn't consume we would be charged per pound. The food selection was the K pot meals and the BBQ. We could order from both menus but $5 would be extra for the BBQ. Some of the meats such as prime rib or lamb were sliced paper thin, as were the soft tofu, all cooked in less than a minute and were not satisfying. The steak and short ribs were a decent size and fairly tender. Vegetables took the longest time to cook and I suggest to cook them first before one cooks thicker foods. I tried the mushroom soup and didn't like it. But my dining mate ordered the spicey Thai Tom yum soup and liked it. The chicken bulgoki just ok. Overall some items we ordered were satisfying ,others not so much. There was a sauce bar which also had French fries and small fried chicken tenders, all average tasting. There are vegetarian and vegan choices for soups, vegetables and noodles. Plenty of Beef, chicken, seafood , soy and pork items to choose from. Although the restaurant is clean the loud pounding repetitive background instrumental music was not conductive for a relaxing meal. We were glad we experienced this type of dining but decided once was enough for us. It can be a bit overwhelming when raw items placed on a small table area are waiting to be cooked. I suggest get a few items, cook and eat and order more as you wish Our meal per person for both hot pot and BBQ, was $35 .

This was such a fun dinner experience! We loved our food and the bar of extras was nice! I wish the sauce bar gave proportions for the sauces. The seaweed salad was tasty! Our favorites for the BBQ were the hanger steak, beef bulgogi, spicy salmon and shrimp. None of us liked the chicken. The grilled pineapple was nice too! We were disappointed that we kept ordering sweet potato and never got it. Our server was so great and helpful! He did a perfect job explaining things and making suggestions! Overall, a fun place to do dinner! My only complaint is that the music was insanely loud and made it difficult to talk and even hear the server.

Went here two weeks ago and I haven’t stopped telling people about the amazing food and service yet. We had Matt who was such a great server who explained the whole process to the table clearly. The food was very fresh and flavorful. Even the guys bussing were so fast and nice. Great experience! Will be back.

This was my second time at Kpot and I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did the first. First we had Shane and she was phenomenal in making sure we had what we needed when asked. This second time around I had Bianca and she was very attentive to what we needed, and also as made sure that we had what we needed. Great experience, will definitely come back and ask for either of the two.

I revisited this place with my husband this time on a weekend night...arrived at 5 pm, and yet, there was already a waitlist! While we were waiting at the bar to get seated, I tried this Seoul Cocktail...and it was tasty and STRONG! I wasn't impressed with the presentation of this drink though. It was 12 bucks, but delivered in a basic beer glass! After waiting in the bar area for 30 minutes, we finally got seated. BTW, I noticed that their overhead music wasn't that loud this time (folks must have complained?). Just as before, the place was lit with blue lighting...definitely packed with a clubby vibe. We ordered a ton of items...and this time, I didn't bother creating a soup base at the buffet station (I still find that way too busy)...but I did grab a few sauces. I won't go into too much detail since this is my second time...but I did observe a few new things. Even with the KBBQ AND KPOT combo, there still weren't the traditional Korean sides, like the Steamed Eggs, Tteokbokki, etc.etc. However, I did notice some of their unique strengths. They had a variety of seafood options (not available in most KBBQ joints)...and a ton of fruits and veggie options (Pineapple, Bok Choy, Mushrooms, you name it!!) as well. So all in all, I felt they made up for some weaknesses. I still thought the strongest choice was the Spicy Bulgogi...followed by Spicy Fish (surprisingly)! However, I didn't like their Short Ribs at all...they weren't even cut, but served with a bone-in steak-like format. I wasn't a fan of their Steak either. We actually forgot to order the Beef Brisket, which were good...if I remember correctly. I loved trying the Tempura...KBBQ-style! Truly, there's so many options on the menu, it would take several visits to try them all. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the meal. Again, I thought the pricing was very generous. Even with the KBBQ-KPOT combo, it was only like 35 bucks each...SO much food (AYCE)! Surprisingly, my husband liked this more than any other KBBQ that he tried in Charlotte...probably because of the veggie options. So there were a few misses (overpriced cocktail, bad short ribs, no traditional appetizers-sides, etc.etc.), but the positives definitely outweighed the bad. All in all, we left fully satisfied! This place is simply a mecca of food options...value packed at that...thus, the long wait list. If you plan on coming here, prepare to wait....or come during off hours (they're open throughout the day).

Love the Thai Hot Pot! Everything is soo quick and organized and it's all you can eat! Be prepared to take a bath afterwards though because you'll smell like the yummy delicious broth!

Bianca was the best waitress! It was a wonderful first time experience and the servers were prompt on reliving our items we selected within less than a minute of ordering them on the tablet. I can’t say or express how happy and grateful I picked this place! Excellent service and atmosphere.

The food and service was awesome. Bianca was a great server. She took the time to explain how everything worked and checked on us regularly. The food was really good and cooks fast on the grill at the table. We will be returning again soon.
