"Lee’s Seoul Korean BBQ & Hot Pot, next door, is beloved for offering individual hot pots, opening up brothy delights to vegans and others who don’t want to share a communal dish." - Cynthia Barnes

"While Aurora has its fair share of Korean barbecue restaurants, none of them are quite as fun as Seoul Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. The plates are fuller, the service faster, and the endless amount of banchan—like spicy cucumber salad and seasoned spinach—is a blast to explore. Go for stacks of short ribs, wagyu ribeye, and thick-sliced pork belly, and have fun grilling it all up at the table knowing you won’t have to clean up the 20 different bowls and plates.

We stopped by here shortly after they opened. We went for the hotpot and BBQ. Prices are comparable for other areas considering it is also all you can eat. The menu has a ton of options for meat selections and options for hotpot ingredients. I'd definitely come again.

An amazing experience. Kudos to Eunice she set the standards. She always checked on us. We had a very large party. Hot Pot or Korean Barbecue. Your choice and you won't be disappointed. Great Choices.

This was my first time going to kPot. It was a lot of fun. I was afraid that it was going to be smokey, but it surprisingly is not smokey at all. I have asthma and I wasn't bothered at all in this place. The vents are outstanding. Wow, the place was a LOT bigger than it looked from the outside. We were seated and served right away. Music was great and it was so much fun between the three of us. It was all you can eat, but all of us was full after the first serving. There were many dipping sauces to choose from and you could create your on. I used the kPot special sauce, it was delicious. I even include a photo of our server, Freddy, she was great!

We had such a fun time here! Music set the energy for everyone. Loved the sauce bar, and we definitely went a little crazy the first time around. The portion sizes for the items you want are amazing so go slow. The spicy broth is so tasty and definitely spicy! Price is great and we will be regulars here with friends!

We had a fantastic AYCE meal at KPOT. We enjoyed authentic and abounding flavors with a sizzling hot Korean grill and a bubbling broth pot. The selection of meats and veggies was as wide and tall as a mountain—abundance and quality truly ruled the day. There is a periscope-like exhaust vent at the center of each table. I was hoping for a more interactive experience with it but alas it was truly just a vent. We sat at a 4-top table, and things got a little cramped when all the delicious dishes arrived. But no worries! We did a quick shuffle and found a spot for everything. We had a birthday dinner at a nearby table that startled me so bad I feel like my soul left my body for a moment. They celebrated so well, I want to come back for one of mine. Overall, it was a flavorful and memorable dining experience. Highly recommend KPOT for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and authentic meal! Well worth the drive.

We dined here last Father’s Day and the place was so good. The ambiance and also the staff specially Monela whom catered us all through out our meal was very good with her serviced and very much friendly. Great Korean BBQ and Hotpot, a must and go to whenever cravings got you. Highly recommended to everyone. Will definitely come back to dine in.

In short, Yes you should go. Pros: Great atmosphere and attentive service. Cons: Hot pot is slow to cook especially on the front right side of the restaurant. Cooker get overloaded easy when you add rice and meats at the same time. Pro tip: Sit on the left side of the restaurant. Get extra cups for the sauce bar and have everyone dip there chopsticks in the various sauces to find something everyone likes. You food can turn out very blah you just dump it all in. Conclusion: There are not a lot of good, safe area, clean restaurants to go out in Aurora. This place has a cool look and great location with attentive service where you can bring a group and try something new. They are still new and need to work out some kinks but they have the potential to be a great go to spot. Express your opinions to them as they seem receptive to constructive criticism. P.S. if you read this far gimme a like and as a reward to you here's the price for two people $75.58. Take care and I hope blessings come your way!

Finally dining at the KPot Korean BBQ & Hotpot in Aurora for the first time. The restaurant was spacious and the ambience was quite modern. The BBQ and hot pot selections were similar to other BBQ and hot pot places in town, but they don't have blue crabs or oysters for the hot pot. The BBQ meat was marinated well and tasty. Besides all the common items, noted they also have less commonly seen beef tongue, pork cheek, spicy squid, spicy baby octopus. Glad they did not limit how many items can be ordered at once, perfect for someone like me to try everything out. The downside was they served quite fast, so all the sudden the table was crammed with plates. They also served appetizers, such as kimchi, seaweed, pickled radish, edamame, fried spring rolls, sesame balls and french fries as well as a variety of vegetables. $31.99 per person for either hot pot or BBQ, or both for $36.99 (everyone needed to order the same thing for the table) for dinner and during weekends and holidays. In my opinion, it was good value overall, probably cheaper and more convenient than preparing at home. It is not too far from the Alameda exit of I-225, cross the street from Town Center of Aurora and right by Target.

My wife and I had a great experience at Kpot in Aurora. Ravie was our server, and he explained everything to us in both English and Spanish, which made us feel very welcome. He was incredibly kind and attentive, and his excellent service really enhanced our dining experience. The food was great, and Ravie's attention made it even better. Highly recommend!

Let me just start with my stomach is BEYOND full!!! From entry to exit I have found another Gem... the food is delicious! Such a variety of vegetables, meat (beef, chicken, pork), seafood, fruit even is so fresh! It's like a do-it yourself Habachi, but a lot of fun deliciousness! Bree is a great waitress extraordinaire for it being her second day...she made this service thee best experience...the ambiance is light with energetic music! Kudos KPOT!!!

The restaurant has a large, clean space with plenty of seating, giving it great potential. Unfortunately, our experience with the service was disappointing. It took about 30 minutes for our waitress to take our order, and after we received our food, she never checked back on us. After 30 minutes with no food, our grill began to burn and turn black, yet no one came by. We flagged down another waitress who said she'd find our server, but 15 minutes later, nothing had changed. Eventually, we saw our waitress working behind the bar. At this point, we managed to get help from another waitress who offered to assist. However, by that time, we were frustrated and no longer hungry. There was a tablet on our table that we explored, hoping to place our order there, but it wasn't logged in. The helpful waitress logged us in, enabling us to order from the tablet, but by then, the experience had soured. What should have been a 1.5 to 2-hour dinner turned into a 3-hour ordeal, and we left unsatisfied. While the food was good, and the appetizer bar was fine, the lack of service overshadowed the meal. Overall, we were disappointed with our dining experience.

Food was really spectacular! Would have been 5 stars except they charged us a mandatory gratuity for 6 people when there were only 4 of us. When we brought this up, they said it's because we were at a 6 person table. They sat us there and we never asked for a larger table. (We were walk ins) Seemed very money-grabby and cost us quite a bit more than we budgeted for. Food was good but sketchy business practices. Also, we asked to split the bill in half and our server Alex rang up the entire bill on one card. She huffed and said "yeah that happens sometimes" and walked off without even offering to resolve the issue. Our friends sent us their half but it was pretty rude service.

First time going as a family!! Opted for the hot pot and KBBQ! We knew we were going to focus on BBQ but wanted the additional veggie and noodle options that you get when you add on the hot pot. This is the first time we have had four people dining here at the same time...and it was difficult to say the least. They need to have tables that offer 2 grill surfaces for every 2 diners. When you have just 2 people dining it works out great to have one grill and 2 individual hot pots...but once you have 4 people trying to grill enough food, the set up simply can't keep up. Everyone was waiting for enough food to come off the grill worried that our time would expire before we would be full. I don't think we will come back as a family/group of 4 but will as a 2-top.

This is an ayce kbbq and hot pot place (you can pick one or both) that uses pretty fresh ingredients and has a great selection of vegetables, seafood, and meats to pick from. It's a really large space with plenty of seating and is fairly new, so super clean. The service is fast and they make it easy to order through and iPad process. It's about $37 a person if you do both kbbq and hot pot but $32 if you pick just one. Overall a great spot if you're feeling super hungry or have a large group.

After hearing about if for a while now, I finally made a stop here and it's pretty good for an AYCE KBBQ. It's $5 more for the hotpot added to it but the hotpot menu wasn't that impressive for our table so we stuck with KBBQ. They have a sauce station so you can make your own sauce and grab your sides like kimchi. There are a lot of options from beef to pork to seafood. This is possibly the first AYCE I have been to where Galbi was included and not just one serving per person. It's worth your money to come here over others because of the galbi alone. The king oyster mushroom was pretty good. I ate it as a lettuce wrap. Service can be pretty meh when they're busy. I think they're just short on people. We asked for our grill changed and we waited over 20 min for it.

I love the hot pot/kbbq combo! Tons of options for meat and vegetables for your bbq or hot pot. Also REALLY loved that they give each table an iPad and you can order what you want when you want straight from there! Honestly that deserves 5 stars alone! Made ordering for my table of 8 SO easy. Lots of fun cocktails as well. 10/10, 5 stars, would go back again!

The food was very good the prices were very reasonable, but inside the restaurant it was very hot. We had to walk outside in the summer to cool off

YUMMMMM ALERT!! Wife heard this place from coworker. We stop by at noon. Is located right next to Target. went for AYCE hot pot and $5 extra for BBQ. Service was excellent and so are the atmosphere. We order all the usual and it came right away. There was so much meat! For the Korean BBQ they give you a lot of meat! And for the hot pot is the same! We got full so fast! And the table next to us was celebrating his birthday so they have a BIRTHDAY SONG for him too!!! For the price and the quality of food. I don't think anyone around can beat it!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Big all you can eat k-bbq and also hotpot. We got kbbq option only. Great variety of meet option and I love the pineapple option to grill! Attantative and friendly service and fun light show for b-day! Strongly recommend this restaurant.

I'm so glad I finally got to try KPot. We came on a Sunday afternoon after 2pm and surprisingly got seated within minutes of arriving which was nice. KPot has that ambiance that most KBBQ places have which I enjoy. Their menu has great options for Korean BBQ & Hotpot from different types of meat, noodles and veggies. You have the option to order unlimited KBBQ or Hotpot or both. It's a $5 extra charge per person if you choose to do both. They also have a section with fruits, desserts and ingredients to make your own sauces (this is included in the price). We opted to do both KBBQ & Hotpot. We got to pick what items we wanted for both options. The quality of the meats was great and the veggies were fresh. Everything came out quickly and at the same time so we enjoyed both hot pot and BBQ at the same time. Our server was patient and explained everything really well which made the experience even better. I'd definitely try Kpot again but will probably do either KBBQ or Hotpot and not both - it was a lot of food for two people. I'd recommend going as soon as they open to avoid a long wait but if you cannot, be prepared for a wait.

First Korean bbq in Denver, and I guess I'm used to the ones in California. Good vibes and very clean restaurant. Service was great. Very attentive. Wish they had more banchan varieties. I love options and they didn't have a lot. The meat was delicious, and very flavorful. I did love that you can make your own dipping sauces. That was my favorite part. They have a bigger selection on the sauces than the side dishes. The prices for lunch and dinner are very affordable. Up to 2 hour dinning. Which is the typical time at almost all Korean bbqs. Overall it was a fun experience and the first time for one of my friends and she enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed the all you can eat hot pot and Korean bbq. Great atmosphere and very reasonable lunch special for $20! +5 upgrade if you want to do both. I really enjoyed the Korean seafood, it's sooo delicious you won't be disappointed if you're a seafood lover. My friend got the Szechwan which was a bit too spicy for me. But it had very great flavors and aroma. Can't go wrong with your choice in sides. They had so many menu items to choose from and different types of noodles. In the back area they have an appetizer and sauce station where you can freely choose what you like. It ranged from egg roles to fruits, seaweed salad and different types of kimchi. Service was great she was consistent and it is very clean there. The ventilation is amazing as you don't walk out smelling like you were just bbqing. Definitely will be going back again!

5 stars for the price. Splurged for the $32 dinner menu so you can order the Galbi short ribs. Hot pot option will be great for cold days. New booth seating very clean and shout out to Kyleigh she's fire.

We arrived on a weekend for a party of 2 in the afternoon and were seated right away. We were given the option of Kbbq and or hotpot. It is AYCE. The meat selection was great. I enjoyed the beef belly, pork belly, brisket and bulgogi. I was disappointed by the lack of sides. Traditional Kbbq offers you sprouts, kimchi, smashed cucumbers, rice paper wraps, etc. You were able to self-service grab sprouts and kimchi at the hotpot bar, but they didn't have the other items.

My family and I decided to grab a late lunch here one weekend. We waited 30-40 minutes, but it was not bad and well worth it. The ambiance immediately brought to mind Gen KBBQ--reminiscent of a sleek lounge, with dark lighting accentuated by neon blue lights, a modern and clean interior, and a grill vent at each table. They also have a bar on the side with TVs playing sports games. Our server, Eunice, was fantastic. Not only was she friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, but she also took the time to show us how to create the perfect dipping sauce! It was delish. Service was fast and efficient. We opted for the all-you-can-eat hot pot and BBQ combination for $37, but you can choose one option for $32. They offer a sauce bar where you can create your own concoction. Additionally, there's a selection of hot fried small bites, such as fries, egg rolls, and nuggets, as well as sides and banchans like sliced radish, kimchi, seaweed, fruits, and even cake. For the hot pot soup base, we opted for the Korean seafood, Tom yum, and Japanese miso. Our favorite is the Korean seafood broth. The ramen noodles turned out to be quite generous in portion size. I would recommend ordering just one for every two people. As for the BBQ, the KPOT short rib galbi, garlic shrimp, beef bulgogi, brisket, and KPOT pork belly were absolute must-orders. All tasted great. The meat, seafood, and vegetables were fresh and on point. This is by far the best hotpot and BBQ spot we have been to in Colorado and is now our favorite. Highly recommended. We'll surely come back. I wish they open one in Colorado Springs.

The wait times are a little crazy right now but I think it is worth giving a shot! It is one of the only restaurants that does AYCE KBBQ and hotpot in the area. For dinner (which is all day on the weekends!), it is 31.99 per person unless you want to do both KBBQ and hotpot, that would be +5 dollars. Service was fantastic! Eunice was great, we love her personality and recommendations! At the table we were at, there was a grill right in the middle with mini stove tops for every seat. Their KBBQ short ribs were so tender and the flavor was bold and sweet. Hanger steak was delicious but you got to time it right since it is a thick slice or it is going to end up a little tough to chew. Bulgogi was good, not my favorite but hopefully over time, the marinates will improve! Their broths for hotpot were delicious and very bold in flavor! We tried the herbal one and Szechuan spicy. The Szechuan one has a very intense spice kick to it.

Wow, just wow. People, this is hot pot and Korean BBQ on another level. I can honestly say this is on my top 5 Denver area restaurants now. You have both a hot pot and a grill and the meats they give you are super high quality. I hate fat, and there is little fat on the meats! The sauces also kick butt! Service, perfect. Our server Brandi took very good care of us. The place is self is very very modern looking. The blue LED lights and exposed ceiling just look awesome. Only downfall, there is always a wait. When I see waits I know the place is good. That's why there is usually a 1-2 hour wait here! Can't say enough.

Great hot pot and KBBQ spot that seems pretty new in town. Our server Ravie was amazing. He was very attentive and went above and beyond his duties as a server. Plenty of options to choose from even during lunch for a discounted price. Can't wait to come back and try their KBBQ next time!

SERVICE: Our waiter. Not so much. Didn't even turn on the cooking unit and we were just sitting there (it was out first time). I believe it was the manager (very awesome young lady in red shirt) she hooked it up and was great. The food came quick. Drink refills were sparce. And not really checked in on. FOOD: The beef, pork, shrimp and veggies were all excellent. The spring rolls however were mushy and not much flavor. AMBIANCE: Walking in I thought the place was really cool, it was bigger than I thought it would be. If you're a bigger person or have big feet, I'd recommend a table over the booth. The heating element makes it a little uncomfortable in the booth. We'll definitely be coming back.

One of the best AYCE Korean BBQ this side of the Rockies! Meats were plentiful and delicious, the Hanger steak in particular!!! The veggies were nice and crisp. Self service bar with sauces, banchans (Kimchi was so good!) and dessert. The server was friendly and came by often, he even changed out the grill without ever having to request! Love the contemporary design with great ventilation hoods at each table. The only negative was the rice which was kinda stale and the lack of banchans, other than that, I really liked it! Tip: Get there early before the crowd, as it gets packed by 6:30p!

Yelp
This is a fairly new restaurant that serves both AYCE Korean BBQ and Hotpot. The interior decor has the familiar Korean BBQ lighting. Your party can choose one or the other or you can have both for $5 more per person. We got both and were glad we did. The menu for both BBQ and Hotpot is extensive! There is also a buffet with appetizers, sauces, and desserts. The service was awesome. Come hungry because you'll want to try everything!

Aurie J.

Yelp
Food was decent but the cuts were not what I'm used to, the slices were pretty thin and small. The short ribs were great!!, however there was an extra charge to get more than one order which is kind of weird as there were 2 of us eating, so do they only allow 1 order of 2 ribs per table? Or one rib a person for ayce? Our server was nice enough but we couldn't find her a couple of times we needed her. The ambiance is cute, I love the blue lighting. There is however a problem with space for our feet under the table, as there is a giant metal box housed for the hot plate equipment, and it's taking up most of the space for your feet, it's very cramped! We did enjoy the meal though, just didn't find it exceptionally great with above complaints.

This review is only for the KBBQ as I haven't tried their hot pot. I think this is a really good price for the meats you're paying for. I came here on a weekday evening, and it was approximately $32/person base price without any line. For the price you're paying, there is a good selection of meats (to include galbi) with some vegetables (i.e. king oyster mushroom). I enjoyed a lot of it and will certainly be back. The place was clean (didn't smell overwhelmingly of KBBQ, but the restaurant itself was not very crowded at the time I arrived) and the service was great. There is also a self-serve area that includes DIY dipping sauce, ban chan, appetizer, and dessert area. The sauces are great. The side dishes are limited, though they did have basics such as: kimchi, bean sprouts, and pickled radish. The fried appetizers were quite cold despite seemingly being under (or on top of?) some heat source. I would give the meats and price point five stars. The self-serve area, however, could benefit from fresher appetizers. I also wish there was steamed egg or kimchi stew as a part of the KBBQ menu, but I can understand why it wouldn't be given the AYCE hot pot option.

Good quality for a good price! loved the spicy meat options. Will come again! Service was also great and speedy.

If your looking for KBBQ this is a great place. It's priced right, has many options for meat and banchan and they also offer Hot Pot! Keep in mind several things if you've never been to Korean BBQ. 1.they get very busy and you usually have to wait. That's why the pricing is so good but it's worth it. This is why I recommend getting extra meat to start so you have plenty of time to cook and everyone can eat before you have to order more. 2. The wait staff gets very busy trying to help everyone. They are doing their best and are usually very good but you do have to be patient. Korean BBQ won't be a fast meal. It's meant to be a longer enjoyed meal to have with friends and if you go in with those expectations you won't be disappointed!

Fun environment: music, lights, and an industrial (well ventilated!) feel. Staff was friendly. Lunchtime all-you-can-BBQ special at $20 can't be beat. Good selection of meats. Fair enough that you have to pay the dinner price ($30) for the full selection of options. We tried several different choices and enjoyed them all. The beef bulgogi was our favorite - well seasoned but not too sweet. Loved the build-your-own sauce bar with suggestions of types of sauces. We'll be back for dinner!

We saw so much hype about this place all over social media so we wanted to give a chance. This place is huge! When entering it feels like a club, the blue lights and darkness made us forget we came in during lunch time. It's a vibe! The sauce bar, it's nice that they have recipes for different sauce to help you make something if you have no idea. They also have a couple of their own speciality sauces that were too sweet for my liking. They also had egg rolls, kimchi and seasame balls as well. But they didn't have much options for the Korean bbq sides which makes the experience not as fulfilling. And the sauces and kimchi they did have for the Korean bbq was very salty and just kinda ruined it for us. We decided to go with the dinner option to try the more premium meat to only be disappointed. It was nothing special in my opinion. The meats are cut super thin so you do have to order a couple rounds. I had the Tom yum broth and that was good. Out server was great, he was attentive and made sure we were always good. After this I was so tired, and it wasn't from a food coma, I belive they add way too much MSG or sodium for that to happen. The one thing that makes this place differnt from other hot pot places is they have a full bar and no dessert. We came right when they opened and they didn't have any of the boba teas available to order, something sweet is needed after a meal like this esp when they don't give ice cream or any dessert ( lily the other places do) maybe that would of helped me not be so tired after.

Yelp
Damn this place gets busy! Pretty cool though you can do Korean bbq and hot pot at the same time. I liked the variety. I know some people complaining about the amount of specific meats for either hot pot or the bbq but let's be honest.... You can't have that much more variety when you both those to choose from. I think it's a pretty good selection. We're excited for the one opening up in Thornton. Food was fresh and service was good. I would come early cause right when they opened we still waited 15 mins. So just a heads up.

I have been to many Kpot locations and this one is by far the worst. Rude staff. Loud music. Stingy portions. You order to your server instead of an iPad like other Kpot locations. We showed up with 4 people and within 30 seconds the waiter was displaying a hostile attitude? We were very friendly. When we ordered food they brought us portions for ants. 1 plate of meat for 4 people when I asked for "4 portions". The music was so loud we repeated the order multiple times and the waiter couldn't catch it and we couldn't hear each other talk unless we yelled. It feels like you eat inside a night club. Not the exact ambience you want to set for a hot pot resto. Go to the Thornton location instead if you can. The difference in service and experience is night and day.

Gotta love a new KBBQ place. KPot has a lot going for them. Their menu of course has the options of KBBQ, Hot Pot or both. We opted for the both since it was our first time here. Now this is the second official day for them and unfortunately they did not have everything available on the menu. For this reason alone, I docked off a star. They did not have milk tea, fountain drinks, and a handful of meat options available. It was unfortunate but we of course still decided to continued with our dinner. Currently, dinner price is 31.99 for one option and +$5 if you choose to do both. Our server was Brandi, and she was awesome. Very transparent and communicated with us with items that are not available. she was also quick to correct an incorrect order for us as well. She did a great job at checking in with our table and was very helpful with her suggestions. We even had a neighboring server checking in and interacting with us when our server was assisting other tables. They even were so kind to lower the music down a little as it was too loud for my son. There were tons of employees on the clock which contributed to tables being cleaned and food being received pretty quickly. The menu itself is pretty extensive and does offer a lot of my go-to dishes. The overall look and feel of KPot, reminded me heavily of GEN KBBQ, which is really sleek and clean. There's blue lighting going on giving it a calm and relaxing ambiance. They have a massive bar and a few TVs which are great for sports games. It looks like the majority of seats are booths which are nice and comfy and the tables are set in a way that you do have a grill and heating plates for hot pot. The grill vents drop from the ceiling and remind us how it is in Korea. Only downside to that is that it's eye level and can block you from interacting with your group. They do have cords hanging from under the table which should really be addressed. I can totally see kids pulling on them. Regarding their bathrooms, the way the sink is styled, if you are dining with a younger kid, there's no way to sit on the counter and it may be too high for them to wash their hands. I would strongly recommend having a little stool for their younger guests. As far as food goes, we were still upset about the amount of items that weren't available yet. However, with the food that we did get to try, we were completely satisfied. Now my husband is Korean and his family's galbi recipe is superior. Every other place we've had it at has been subpar. BUT LET ME TELL YOU.. KPOT's galbi marinade surprised us. We weren't expecting anything special, but we were seriously impressed. Other than that, we tend to gravitate to non marinated items on the menu so everything else that we had was still very good. Banchan is not served table side like most restaurants, instead it is located in the back with the sauce bar, which is new to us. But the great thing about that is that you control how much or how little you want. Their hot bar is small but consisted of fries, nuggets and mandu, all of which were surprisingly pretty good. My 4 year old didn't eat much, but he was pretty happy with those options. I do wish that there were more banchan options though. Their sauce bar is build your own and they do offer premade sauces as well. KPot stands out way more than other KBBQ options in the general Denver area. Just some observations to add, 1) No one else does AYCE KBBQ & Hot Pot (well). 2) the whole menu is available to you, with the exception of lunch and dinner only items. It's not done in "Sets" or Option A, B, C etc. 3) Currently there is no limit on how much galbi you can order during your visit. 4) They have a build your own sauce bar. I know many AYCE hotpot places have this option, but not KBBQ. 5) Left over food is charged by the pound. $13.99/lb to be exact. Final Notes: The plan for my family is to return later this month and hope that they have everything available again. And if they do, then 100% the rating will be 5/5. In comparison to its competitors in the area, I would rank KPot as top tier. That being said: Food 9/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Price 9/10

This place is insane! First Korean BBQ and Hot Pot place I've been to in Colorado. I recommend doing the BBQ but when you get that you also get the Hot Pot. The meats were good, the veggies were fresh and they also have a revolving amount of fruits. Honestly, I was overwhelmed when my date just went rapid fire on food. The service was okay, but can't expect much with the masses of food coming at you. Good date spot and with a large group of friends.

The service: Came here to celebrate a promotion. Their wifi was down so we sat by the bar waiting. The wait wasn't too bad during lunch time, but they brought us over to a filthy table. We waited for the server, because the host didn't clean the table. Server seemed inconvenienced by us asking for the table to be cleaned. There were dirty utensils left on it too. The sever didn't check on us much, but the people being out the food were quick. The food: Every review stating the inconsistency with meat quality are right. One moment I get a nice plate of meat, the next same meat is super fatty and would pass for pork. Some meat had too much tendon and were tough. The veggies we did get seemed fresh. The beef just wasn't the greatest. My broth got low and was splattering on me, so I asked for a little more as I was still eating. This is very new to me, but the server topped it up with hot water. I've never been to a hot pot place that fills your pot with hot water. My broth became bland and unappetizing.

Wide varieties of meat and seafood. Clean and good seasoning in addition to fast service. They have complimentary appetiser and desserts. Food was fresh and meats were tender. Tried BBQ but inclusive of hotpot is going to cost dollar 5 extra. They also suggest good sauce mixture. Worth the money if you're a non-veg lover.

Came in and was told wait would be 10-15 mins and to have a seat which is totally fine, but my husband and I sat the host sat two bigger parties than us first without any hesitation. Didn't have the chance to try their food but wouldn't come back based off of the service. The wait doesn't matter, the fact we had no explanation of why people got to go ahead of us was the ridiculous part. Would not recommend.

I so wish I could do half stars on Yelp because my most honest rating would be 3.5 stars. So you can read this and decide where you think it lands. Also I have to say I only tried the Korean bbq so I am not going to speak for the hot pot here. I would rate it on the higher side due to the fact that it's all you can eat and it satisfies the craving. And the prices are fairly reasonable. It's also nice that there is a sauce station and some buffet items like fresh fruit (on that note I appreciated some more unique, Asian fruit options like longan and wintermelon!), fried chicken wings, crab legs, corn dogs, kimchi etc. Now for what gives the lower rating is the quality of the meats itself. It's pretty average. Of course some meats are better than others. The other issue I had was the seasoning on some of the meats run on the sweeter side. For example the Galbi was pretty sweet, more than what is typical. Also the burner we had at our table took a long time to warm up and the first two batches or so didn't quite get the grill marks we were hoping for. Service was really good though and the space is nice. Overall a decent place if you are wanting some Korean bbq but it's just alright in that regard. But then again not many places have both hot pot and kbbq so if you want both this is it.

Food was amazing and service was even better! Our server was very patient and checked up on us regularly. We went on a Sunday night with a big group of 7 and the host was so sweet, she seated us immediately. My only concern was receiving and paying the bill. We had a group of 7 so we understood the automatic 18% tip added to groups of 6+. However when we offered to pay for our friend's table of 4, the server took back both bills and combined them into 1 bill so the 18% tip stacked up even higher. Usually I wouldn't mind but when I went a second time with a group of 6, I had a weird interaction with the host. I brought the bill up to pay but when I chose "no tip," the host asked why I didn't tip. When I replied that there's already an 18% tip added, they retaliated and said "you should still tip more." SO RUDE AND RIDICULOUS. I have tipped generously at every restaurant and coffee shop I've been to, and I have NEVER been questioned like that. I was so confused.

Highly pleasant experience. There was a wait for lunchtime but the place is packed so can't complain. Service was quick, server was professional and polite. Food came quick, there was a self serve bar for appetizer and desserts as well as a big variety of ingredients to make your own sauces with. We only tried the Korean bbq which was very good, will be back to try the hot pot on colder day. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

This place is amazing all around. Multiple menu items, sauce bar, and you can do hot pot and bbq. All of their marinades are delicious. We got the short ribs(very tender and favorite), spicy bulgogi, spicy pork belly, kpot pork belly(favorite), garlic shrimp, and a bunch of sides.

Awful experience. We were given a table without 3 spots, then was told that they had to charge for both hot pot and bbq when we only wanted the bbq. Worst of all was that our two tables did not have the heat power to cook anything. Took 2 hours to cook the one order of meat. We were told that was the max heat and they couldn't do anything else. We took 10 people to eat but only could feed the kids while the adults left without eating. We also ordered an order of marinated pork, which was sour and ending up giving the one and only person to eat it food poisoning. I informed the server that the meat was sour, with no response. No discount was provided or apologies for the experience.

Beautiful restaurant! I love the neon lights and decor! Such a wonderful atmosphere and doesn't feel overly crowded either. Service was great and attentive; not overly attentive bugging you every other minute. Perfect amount of attentiveness. The food.... OMG The food is absolutely amazing! The meat is super fresh as is the vegetables. Everything is well seasoned and portions are perfect. Will absolutely come again!

4/12/24- I recommend going for their week day lunch because it is the best value. Even though you can do both hot pot and BBQ here I would recommend just focusing on the BBQ since it has the best tasting meat. You do have to stay on top of your server though because of the two times we have eaten here so far, they kept forgetting to bring us part of our order and we had to remind them. Also several times they tried to bring us someone else's order. The place has an industrial feel. I would recommend the garlic shrimp and pork belly.
