KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot is a popular hotpot restaurant located in downtown Brooklyn, near the Dekalb stop. The restaurant often has a long waitlist, especially on Friday evenings. Customers appreciate the variety of dishes, with small portions that let diners try different foods. The meat quality is good for an all-you-can-eat place, and the meal includes fried food from the sauce bar and complimentary ice cream. The service is generally friendly and fast, with attentive staff who check in often. The atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, making it a great spot for groups.
However, some reviews mention issues such as small plates, slow grilling times because of the electric plate cooking method, and a confusing policy requiring everyone to order and pay for soup if one person wants it. There have been complaints about the food being bland and lack of clear instructions for cooking vegetables and other items. Customers also noted that the plates are small, and the food can be expensive for what is served. Additionally, some guests experienced difficulties with the tablet ordering system and with taking leftovers home, as the restaurant charges per pound for to-go food and does not allow taking home ramen or other items easily.
Despite these concerns, many guests enjoy the overall experience, praising the food and the friendly service. The restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere, with some staff members, like a server named Emily N, going above and beyond to make the night enjoyable. Overall, KPOT provides a satisfying Korean BBQ and hot pot experience, especially for those who enjoy lively dining and trying a variety of dishes.
