Great place for all you can eat korean bbq and hot pot! I got the AYCE hot pot option with my soup base being the special korean broth, which was mild in seasoning but it was alright. For meats, we gor brisket, rib eye and beef tongue, and they cooked pretty quickly in our soups. There was a great selection of apetizers, sides, ans sauces, so take advantage of those. This was a solid place to try or satisfy your cravings for either kbbq or hotpot.

Dinner here was an experience! So fun to be able to experiment with tons of different foods, sauces, and soup bases.

You choose what foods you want to try and either cook them on the skillet at the table or in the hot pot at your table.

It's really fun and I highly recommend trying it out,

We are so excited this place opened in Hyde Park. We were driving all over Cincinnati for decent hot pot and separately for decent Korean BBQ. Now one place nearby satisfies all our tastes! Not the best I've had of either, but very good on both plus the sauce/cold bar is the best in Cincy and one of the best even outside of the city in other Chinatowns. You can pretty much find every meat and vegetable standard in this cuisine. It's definitely worth a try!

The process was a little confusing and I’m not sure if it was greatly explained to myself at least as far as ordering went. You can for $5 more a person get hot pot and bbq, but you’ll be ordering off both sides of both menus to get veggies and meats for both grilling and separately for the hot pot, although you’re able to grill any of the hot pot meats you won’t likely be able to put any of the grill meats in the hot pot because of the thickness. Go for the bulgogi beef , steak and short rib, I wasn’t able to try the garlic shrimp or anything, but most of all the other things we got were very bland and had no seasonings , be sure to hit up the sauce bar and topping bar BEFORE you get to the table and ask for a knife , all things i had to get up for myself several times cuz I just wasn’t prepared lol. Overall, I’d go back if my family was going but probably not for myself. Only other thing I’d say is she did come once to spray the grill and give us a new grill plate but even with the new one the meat absolutely stuck to the grill to the point I couldn’t even scrape it off and that only takes a few seconds, so just watch your food, . She did offer to bring more things and offered to get anyone more broth, K town broth was good if you add your own made sauce to it it’s not so bland and you’re able to turn down your hot pots yourself too which is good. Definitely go to try it out. It’s a family experience. Didn’t hate it at all just could’ve flowed a little better and if the meats and more things were seasoned it would’ve probably been an easy 4-5 stars. Also because they only give you very small plastic plates that when you try and cut into the meat you have which can be a bit difficult to cut through, my steak and meat went flying like 4 times because the plate is so flimsy. I also didn’t get everything I ordered but could’ve been because we were a party of 7, just some things to consider when going there. Take away after your meal will run you $13.99/lb ,2 hr time limit and they say they reserve the right to add a 20% I believe charge (which is fine) if you don’t eat most of the food you get. Just another few notes some may not see on the menu but it is printed.

We had an amazing experience at K town. We did both the hotpot and BBQ, and definitely felt we got our money's worth. Service was fast and attentive and the drinks were reasonably priced.

My partner and I cannot stay away, seriously, please help us. I'm gaining weight at an alarming rate, we're here a couple times a week because the lunch special is such a good deal.

So pretty standard hot pot grill layout. Decent selection of protein and veg. Weak drink. Solid Korean BBQ experience

Outside of the restaurant looks cheap because of all the pictures of the food, but inside is clean and modern. The selections were abundant and delicious!
