KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

Great spot for a family night or even a first date. Busy atmosphere. Meats, seafood and vegetables are fresh. We had a great celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Oh and the kpot bear comes to your booth and they sing happy birthday. So cute. 🥰

I've never done something like this before, and I really liked it! The food was really good, and the service was quick. We got our ingredients very shortly after ordering, and our server Carlos checked in on us very regularly to see if we needed any refills or extra food. Great server, by the way, kudos to you, Carlos, if you read this. Cool guy. Overall a fun experience. A little pricey, but it is a buffet and the food is good, so I didn't mind too much. I'd like to come back from time to time.

I’ve been to several Kpot location but this one is nice. Our server was very accommodating and super friendly. He even offer cupcake to all the father after the bill was paid. We had a large group of 11 and the server ensure he check on us frequently. The only negative thing I have to say is the restaurant not having any butter because the grill kept on getting burn quickly and the beef tastes dried. We were able to order rounds of drinks to the table. If you love hot pot and Korean beef then this is the place for you. Reasonable price if you have a huge appetite other you’re better off going to an actual Korean restaurant and order individual entrees.

I went here to celebrate a belated birthday dinner for my son. He was a bit frustrated on what to do in the beginning but our server, Jon T. was awesome in explaining how it all worked and put out minds at ease. After five minutes, it seemed like my son was a pro. He so enjoyed cooking his own food creation at the table and actually, so did I. I will come here again now that I have a plan on my next fun food creation. However, make sure that you are hungry, really hungry when you visit so you are getting your money's worth. This place is very nice and calm and pretty to look around. I would have loved to see a huge fish tank some place with lights but that is just me trying to redecorate.. lol Give this place a try. It's great

We came to try their KBBQ on a weekend, and it was not bad for the price. The service was great. Our server (Tina) was very sweet, attentive, and personable. She was great checking in with us and changing our grill several times. As for the food, the beef and chicken seemed pretty good quality. The chicken bulgogi was tender and not too sweet or overly marinated. The garlic chicken was just like the chicken bulgogi with a lot of diced garlic. If you love garlic, then this would be good, but it was too much garlic for me. The veggies could be sliced a bit thinner so that they grill quicker, but I understand that they probably use the same sliced veggies for hot pot, and the veggies for hot pot would need to be in thicker chunks. Their bean sprouts, kimchi, and fried chicken sides were good too, and I like that they have a fruit station. Overall, pretty decent KBBQ. We didn't mind cooking for ourselves, but because the grill is smaller than other KBBQ places like Cast Iron KBBQ, it takes a bit longer to cook everything. Changing and re-oiling the grill also took up a good amount of time. Grilling the food ourselves definitely is a different experience, not better or worse. If I was in the mood, I'd definitely check out another KPOT location because the amount of food and quality of the food is pretty good for the price.

I used to love coming here when they first opened the food was always fresh, the menu was fully stocked, and the service was top-notch. Unfortunately, the last few visits have been a letdown. On my last three trips, several menu items were unavailable, and the meat had an odd, fishy taste. To make matters worse, the waiter forgot my drinks after I reminded them twice. I ended up leaving disappointed. I’m not sure if there’s new management or if there’s something else going on, but the experience just hasn’t been the same. I’ve kept coming back in hopes that things would improve, but it seems like it’s only getting worse. It’s such a bummer because it used to be a place I really enjoyed.

Great first experience of Hotpot at KPOT. Everything was explained well and we tried a variety of meats and vegetable and recieved great suggestions and service from the staff! One thing to remember is this is considered "all you can eat" you will not be able to take leftovers home and the establishment lists on their signage/menus that they reserve the right to charge for "wasted food" so start small and order more if needed/you have space. We were not aware of this when we arrived but left very full and satisfied. Would def be back with larger group!

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Our server, Lena Z., provided extremely poor service—she barely checked on our table and left us with a burnt hot plate that was never replaced. Meanwhile, she consistently attended to the tables in front of us, frequently changing their hot plates and checking in, while we were completely neglected. The food quality was also unacceptable. We were served old, shriveled enoki mushrooms and slimy jalapeños, which was concerning, especially since we arrived only an hour after opening. I would expect fresh ingredients at that time of day. To make matters worse, we were incorrectly charged for a soda refill that should have been free. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing visit. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves both service and food quality.

On a Tuesday at 7:00 I went to knot the service was great but when I asked for a fork it was dirty and the bowls in the back are also dirty other then that everything is good

Decided to try this place again a few days ago. I went on Friday, about three in the afternoon. Place was practically empty again, though I was seated right away. The table was directly under an air conditioner that was very cold, which did lessen my experience a bit, but I didn't have the gumption to ask to sit at a different table. This time I ordered my food and Pepsi, I ordered a ribeye, short rib, and Angus Chuck flap tail, along with a bunch of vegetables. I definitely got more garlic than I needed, and either they accidentally gave me a double portion or I would recommend they shorten that portion of garlic a little. The flap tail was really good, it had a sesame base marinade. The Steak was good too, I seasoned mine with salt and pepper (the veggie too) and that made it perfect to eat with the sauce I made. While I was cooking my short rib, having already finished my other meats, I ordered their thin sliced prime brisket. My only issue really occurred near the end; my waitress was proactive in asking if I want my pan changed once. But then later in my meal when she suddenly turned my grill off, I thought she was going to do another pan change because I still had raw meat left. But she didn't. I tried to cook the rest of my food with the residual heat, but it only pulled up the char from the grill and made it taste nasty, which was ashame. Also tried their new crawfish that they have next to their sauce station; I don't know if it was because they were sitting out a long time or were previously frozen and old, but I got several big crawfish, only to open them and see tiny shrunken tail meat that was rubbery and tasted too fishy. The ice cream at the end they offer now is nice, it's Hershey's brand, and says ice cream and not 'ice cream product', so it's actual ice cream. This time was better than my last, but I didn't like how she turned my grill off without asking if I was done, and I was only about an hour through my time. The place hadn't even gotten busy, there was at max, like ten tables including me, and one had just been seated. Having come back a few months from my last visit, I would say definitely need to have the servers be more communicative. Ask if the person is done eating. You can even do this non-directly, by asking 'do you need a grill change?', 'would you like to order more?', 'Is there anything I can get you?'. Not just turn my grill off out of nowhere with no communication. As I type this, I realize I felt so rushed at that big, I didn't do my customary thing at the end were I get some oranges from the banchan station, which I always do to end my meal at a KBBQ/Buffet place. Dang. Also that's another way servers can discreetly see if their table is done, if they're getting dessert.

We made it out to the new location kpot in northeast Philly on Cottman, nice layout. First thing I noticed was they had 2 person seats, our server was great, perfect for date nights. As always, all you can eat deliciousness

Always enjoy the food , always leave full , service is good , ambiance is nice seated quickly ,

My first time doing hot pot, but not my first for Korean BBQ. The price is reasonable to do both with unlimited options. I'm more of a veggie eater but tried a few meat options. My favorite was the short rib for the grill and I also enjoyed the pork belly for hot pot. The service was great and they came around to change our hot plate a few times as we continued to cook. The spicy pork and fried scallops were my least favorite. I tried the tomato soup for my broth and it was light (more brothy than a typical creamy tomato soup) which is exactly what I hoped for. It added a nice flavor as I added veggies and dumplings. I'd come back to try some other options and I was happy there was a large veggie variety.

Our first time trying hot pot and/or Korean bbq and we loved it. We had no idea what we were doing and our waitress was very patient and walked us through the menu and then even told us how to start cooking. Once she got us started we were good to go. My favorite was the short rib bbq, my son loved the ramen hot pot ( that's no surprise). My husband loved the garlic shrimp bbq. We each tried a different hot pot broth so we could figure out which one we liked the best. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the food because once it came we were just enjoying the moment. Our waitress gave us a paper menu to go so I could mark off the stuff we tried and liked so next time we can try different things and or order our favorites. Overall we had a great experience even though we did have to wait about 35 minutes for a seat, next time I will go on a weekday and hopefully it won't be as busy.

Good value and quality meats. Ambiance is very nice as well feels very modern and great for social media content if you're into that or pictures in general

Sign said close on 10:30 pm on Thursday.when I walk in the front:the girl said:how many people? I said:two. And girl said:I can't seat you now .you have to wait for both here.and be available take you to the seat.and we close at 9:45pm .i don't think after the conversation anyone still want walking in there.

To be perfectly honest, if you've been to any of KPOTs in philly then you've been to them all. The service and the food are basically the same whichever one you go. Which is a good thing, you get consistent service and food quality. However, the service at this location is a little bit hit or miss. Some servers are fantastics but some left me desiring better service. And it sucks especially knowing that the good ones are really good so when I get a server that is no where to be seen when I need them is frustrating. I hope their servers become more consistent in the future since I know they recently opened up this location. Shoutout to the food runners, they're great even with the little amount of interactions we have. Kpot Rhawnhurst is still a great place to get your KBBQ + hotpot fix. Now you enjoy it in near NE instead of going all the way up to the far NE

Customer service horrible and they don't care. It's a hit and miss to get service, but when missed, it is horrible.

Don't go to this restaurant. The cleaning is horrible, but I still stayed and ate, but I regret it. Immediately when I ate it I started feeling sick. I got home and vomited a lot, a lot of pain in my stomach. I was sick for three days, the food was definitely contaminated..

My man told me that they had opened up a new location in the northeast and I love me some kpot! Lol Definitely loved it! Wait time was pretty quick for a busy night! Staffs were amazing! Food was amazing! Clean spot! Although they weren't liquor/ bar ready hopefully our next visit they'll be ready lol overall 8/10

The wait was about 30 minutes on a Saturday night. They do not take reservations for parties smaller than 8. It was our first time here so our waiter explained how everything worked. We got the hot pot and kBBQ which was $36 per person. There is a good selection of items to order.

LOVED this place!!! My boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day, no reservation and only had to wait 30min. Food was awesome, the only thing is that their spicy meats are REALLY spicy, but we still ate it all. Our server was the best, really attentive and cordial. And the dip sauce bar???? A DREAM One of the bartenders helped me made one of her favorite sauces and it was BOMB! I'm really happy I live near this place, it's going to be my new spot when the bar is available. Ambience is nice, they got kawaii decoration

We called a week beforehand to give a heads up on a 40 people birthday party reservation , which Kpot agreed and gave us the thumbs up. They even required us to give a $500 deposit to secure the 40 people reservation. which is understandable considering the size of our party. But when we came today, with 40 people standing outside the restaurant, the front desk said "We're too busy, sorry", and gave us the $500 back. No call No compensation No service 40 people are just standing outside in the cold weather because Kpot decided to ditch our reservation out of the blue and did not try the least to contact us before we came. Management needs more training, service needs to improve, and promises needs to be kept. Where do you want us to go with a 40 person party that do not require reservation at 6pm Sunday night. Completely unprofessional and untrained.

GREAT FOOD! The service was perfect! Waiter check in on us frequently And was very welcoming and nice. Since it was my first time there I was very satisfied and happy with the food, the people, and the inside was so pretty!! DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND!!!!! And I'm DEFINITELY going back soon!!!!!!!!!!
