“Everything is good“

“I always come here after a long day of a work trip. Coming from a place where most hot pots are all you can eat. I was a little shocked by the prices, but once I received my order and saw the portion in the quality, I totally understood. Flavors are great and ingredients are fresh. You’re paying for a cleanliness and quality. Servers are kind and accommodating and check on you often. You don’t need to order a ton to leave here feeling very full and satisfied.“

“Best korean shabu in Fortlee“

“Great place to take your friends and family. Service is quick and attentive and matches how great the food is. The revolving concept of the hot pot toppings is great and their sauces are 10/10. I’ve been here 4 times and will be coming back again.“

“Chris was our waiter today. We came in with my wife’s 100 year old grandfather and 99 year old Grandmother on her birthday. They are from Shanghai. Chris immediately knew to bring kids waters, 2 hot waters for the grandparents and 2 regular waters for myself and my wife. Service was fast and accurate. The food soup base was perfect and the food was very fresh with great portions. The ice cream for grandma’s 99th birthday was a great touch. We look forward to coming back again.“

“I'm really happy to have an AYCE hotpot place in the UWS! The staff here were all really friendly. There was a mix-up with a reservation issue, and the staff were very apologetic about the inconvenience, and happily accommodated us the next day. They're newly open, so we think there was just a sudden influx of new customers that they weren't expecting.

The food was delicious-- we got the spicy soup base and tomato soup base in a split pot. We only put in one order of all our ingredients, but the server reminded us that it's AYCE and that we shouldn't be shy about ordering more, which was really nice. They were much less busy on Sunday evening, so noise level was very good for conversation, and you don't feel like you need to rush for other customers to come in.

The selection of meats and veg is great, and the sauce bar has everything that I normally use for hotpot sauces!

We're definitely coming back with friends! Thank you Spice Lamb! :)“

“The malatang here is really good, and the service is great. There are a lot of options to choose from, so it’s easy to customize your bowl. They offer free froyo if you pay cash, and they also include a Yakult regardless of payment method, which is a nice touch. Definitely a place I’d recommend!“

“If you're craving hot pot in the LIC area, this is a solid choice. Price obviously depends how much you get; dining as a party of 4, we spent around $50pp. Everything can be requested or ordered via the iPad (including a call service button), so there's limited direct contact with staff. I like how they provide bags for jackets to make sure not ALL of your possessions come out of the restaurant smelling like hotpot.

While it makes sense to have a big table to hold all of our ingredients, I felt the distance from one end to the table to the other was large! We had to raise our voices to talk to each other.

The sauce bar has the essentials as well as 2 side dishes (altho I don't remember what they were, I didn't end up getting them) and orange slices (we ate those at the end of the meal).

There is only one bathroom for the entire restaurant, so there was a bit of a line when I had to go.“

“Great spot!Best aycy hot pot in lic“

“My absolute favorite place!“

“Amazing Korean buffet-style shabu shabu! The veggie and side selections are extensive with tons of fresh options, and the meat choices are plentiful and high quality. Portions are very generous, the staff is super welcoming, and the prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving shabu shabu, it’s very close to the experience of eating it in South Korea. Will definitely be back! 🍲🔥“

“This place is sooo good, by far the best malatang place in the area. It is new, clean, spacious, and the ingredients are super fresh. The service is very attentive - unlike other malatang places, they even cut up your vegetables for you! Highly recommend. Will be coming back on a regular basis.“

“The best one“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“I’m a regular here (at least twice a month!) and love this place. The mala hot pot is always flavorful, and the sweet and sour pork is so good — I order it almost every time.

FYI: if you order the sweet and sour pork, give them a little extra time since it’s made fresh. Definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“food, place and friendly staff“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came to KPOT BBQ for the food and left raving about the entire experience. The food was great, fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you walk into a place like this. But somehow the service was even better. Shoutout to Stella, our server, who absolutely made the night. Attentive, friendly, funny, and on top of everything without ever hovering. She handled our table like a pro and cooked some of our food for us too! , even while I was clearly having the time of my life and probably making a bit of a spectacle of myself. Stella, if you’re reading this, thank you for making an already great meal unforgettable. And if by some chance you felt the same good vibes, feel free to reach out. Either way, KPOT BBQ has a customer for life.“

“I was starving before I got here. My stomach was growling so loudly it could be heard in LA. My friends and I picked the diamond tier, half spicy miso and half house broth. Spicy miso wasn't thaaaat spicy but I liked the flavor a lot. The staff is attentive they bring you more food super quickly. I got a strawberry cocktail IT WAS SYRUP. no alcohol in it , or at least I didn't taste it. I had one sip and I thought j was drinking FABULOSO cleaning agent !!!!! Obviously don't wear clothes in here that you don't want a scent trailing after you . You will be craving meat all day. I liked the shoulder it was the least fatty. However I went to my doctor and they said I have a cholesterol issue so I can't come here often otherwise I might x__x“

“Great food,great atmosphere As same industry we are take them as role models“

“A solid hotpot spot in Fort Lee and one of the better options in New Jersey.

The mala broth was quite spicy (which I liked), and all the vegetables, meats, and other ingredients were fresh and well-prepared.
The menu had a good variety, and the quality was consistent throughout the meal. Service was attentive, and the overall atmosphere was clean and comfortable.
Need to bring own alcohol.“

“It was just chilling, eating my food then I saw a giant elephant yapping about Joyboy and I saw this loney tunes ahh character fighting a dragon, also i saw red lighting from some huge hill with a skeleton head on it. Tbh the food was good since it was served by some blonde chef with a curly eyebrow“

“蕎麦打ちがいい感じ！“

“I visited Namhansanseong in Palisades Park and had a really great experience! The food tastes very authentic and everything was well prepared. The dishes were clean, fresh, and full of flavor, just like real Korean food. The service was also friendly and the atmosphere felt comfortable. I would definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone looking for good Korean food in Palisades Park!“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“
