    This is a new place that has a soft opening . The inside of this place is gorgeous and fun. There is a buffet bar with a ton of sauce and side options as well as fried chicken, fries and other cold sides. The individual hot pot is so awesome. You choose your own broth. Then choose meats, seafood, tofu, vegetables and noodles you want. Cute place to check out with family and friends and an extensive selection of options!! The staff was very attentive with excellent customer service. Food was great quality and fresh.

    From someone that loves Iron Age, which is a Korean BBQ spot not far from here, I wanted to check this place out because the hot pot part looked interesting. There are some things i liked, some I didn't. The ordering from a tablet part was an amazing concept. It let the server be more engaging and you got to order at your own pace. The downside to this, is the server's tips are going to suffer tremendously because all they are really doing is checking on your drinks. The hot pot part was a cool experience but I didn't enjoy the food from it all that much. Also wasn't told how long to cook any of the food in the soup so just had to wing it. Would be better with a time chart on how long to cook things. The meat and seafood for the grill part was ok, all the food was pretty average to me. A cool place to check out but will not be returning as I enjoy Iron Age much better for the same amount of money.

    The food looks really good in the picture but the taste was just alright, not bad but not that great. The thing that they need to improve is ventilation. We came home absolutely smell like the grill. The grill took long time to cook the meat. It was not heat up fast enough so it kinda affected the meat quality because it loses its flavor. No condiments like picked radish like Korean BBQ nearby. Our server Jasmine tried her best to serve us but she walked by to check on us like every 2 min. We appreciate that but just feel like rushed dining. Eat-and-go. Not a chill vibe.

    This location is BYOB. Our group was for 6 people the booths have plenty of room. Large menu with lots of options including the sauce bar( I love the recipe cards that help make a sauce), the hot options were okay. Our server I want to say Kevin was very fast and kept up with the demands of the table. I can't complain about anything everything tasted amazing. This place is really good for groups and has something for everyone. Just remember if one person at the table wants for example hot pot everyone at the table has to get it.

    Best K pot in the area. This location recently opened and everything was on point. Food came out really quickly. Meats were seasoned very well and didn’t taste frozen. They have seating for small and large parties. They feature a very clean sauce and hot food bar. When I went twice within the last month they didn’t have their liquor license. Parking can be limited in the front on the weekends but there’s always spots in the back. Fun place to enjoy either KBBQ or hot pot. Another recommendation is if you plan on going ask to check with the staff where they have limited AC. We sat right by the bathrooms. After we realized there was no ventilation on that side we were drenched in sweat with the hot grill and hot broth boiling.

    Amazing experience!! There's so much abundance of food options and it's the fastest service I have seen. The waitress was very friendly and was always on point checking on us. It's a 2h all you can eat, the grill is large and there is no restrictions to what you can cook on it. After the first order of meat, veggies, hot pot, etc. you do youself in a very simple and interactive way by using their tablet. I would say this KPOT franchise outshines Ironage, no contest. (And it's just 2 min down the road literally). Give it a try, it's one of the best KBBQ I have been.

    My boyfriend and I got there right as dinner started. We've been wanting to try this place for months, finally just hopped in the car and went. It was busy but thankfully no wait and we were seated right away. I was a little skeptical at first because the outside isn't very appealing (don't let looks deceive you here) When we were seated the host told us its byob..luckily there was a liquor store in the shopping center, that I walked to. Our server Ian was super nice and helpful. We had the AYCE BBQ and soup. Believe me when I tell you, your first time here, you will over order and over eat lol because it's absolutely delicious!! We cooked all of our food ourselves, our waiter showed us how to get things started and he started bringing out a ton of food. They also have a whole bar of sauces, appetizers and deserts! Next time we won't order as much. We just about tried everything and know exactly what we want when we go back. We were so full and pleased with the entire experience there! Definitely added to my fav restaurant list! The atmosphere was really relaxing, too! I barely write reviews but this place was really good..so good..I want to go back today for lunch lol.

    Holy mother of Hot-Pot this place was good. I am from Las Vegas, and I've been to quite a few there- this place has been the best. In terms of service food and atmosphere, if I could give a higher rating I would. Definitely would recommend and would come back. And it was very fair price for four people to have all you can eat. Keep it up KPOT!

    My first time at KPOT and it was amazing (mainly because of our server Steve) we waited for 2 hours to get a table but it was well worth it! In fact the people who were also waiting told us that we should tough it out and wait because it would be a great experience—they did not lie. Steve was super knowledgeable about the menu and helped our table navigate what to order based off of our different tastes and diet restrictions. The staff was very friendly and engaging with our table. The restrooms were spotless even though the place was crowded. You have a two hour time limit once you sit down, but the food was coming out so fast I doubt that you’d need the entire time limit to have an enjoyable experience.

    Our experience last night was AMAZING!!! Our first time was not at all like this (about 6 months ago). The first time we cooked everything start to finish ourselves. This time was basically the opposite. Which means we had 4 courses cooked for us at our table. Better than any hibachi I’ve had which is normally my favorite. Our server Soe Moe was an absolute STAR! I will always be asking if he is working and for his table from now on ❤️

    First visit, and I loved it! Angel was our server. She was very sweet and really helped us through the experience. We opted for both KPOT & BBQ. Everything was delicious. Sad they were out of quails eggs, but there's always next time.

    Being able to order your food on a tablet makes things convenient! I went for kbbq and all of the meats I ate were delicious. There's a large variety of sauces that you can mix and match. This place is definitely the best kbbq restaurant in the area. I highly recommend. The service was also great. I came back for hotpot and as you can see from the photo, I have no idea with what I'm doing. It was still good though. I wish their menu had a cheat sheet for how long to cook each item since my friends kept asking me for recommendations.

    Came for lunch all-you-can-eat. Dinner menu options available on weekends. I ate all the shrimps. All the shrimps. My server, Angel, was an angel. Attentive and helpful, like many of the staff, they are ready to help - especially if you aren’t familiar with this style of dining. Facility is oily but clean. With all the meats being grilled, it’s hard to not build a film during the shift. I will continue to return, and I suggest others do the same.

    Very tasty food, fast & friendly service, and a great sauce bar. The music was loud, but not as loud as many Korean BBQs I've been to. And the price for all you can eat hot pot or Korean BBQ was fair. Great experience! Biggest complaint was that they didn't plan for their food delivery carts when they were doing the table layouts; you could barely fit past if you needed to walk down the aisle with a cart present.

    Delicious food and great atmosphere. Everyone at the table has to get the same thing - you all get just bbq, just hot pot, or both (1 person can't order just hot pot while the other people at your table order just bbq). But the good news is that ordering both only increases the price by $5 , bringing it up to $35 per person. Its all you can eat, so I definitely think you get your money's worth if you come hungry. Because of the hotpot options, there were things for my vegetarian friends.

  • 4/5 Aiko H. 1 year ago on Google
    I went for weekday lunch. You can choose either hotpot or Korean bbq for 19.99. If you want both kinds, it’s 24.99 during weekday lunch. (If one of your party orders differently, you guys will be charged automatically 24.99/ person.) I liked the small buffet! It has unlimited fried chicken, small spring rolls, kimchi, one or two fruits and small cake.

  • 5/5 Hall F. 6 months ago on Google
    Great Korean bbq with some of the best food. They also have a hot food bar with fried chicken, shrimp, and fries that’s included with the price and a sauce bar to make your own sauce for your bbq! Its BYOB, but it’s hey have a selection non-alcoholic drinks for purchase.

  • 5/5 Jung P. 1 year ago on Google
    Not sure how they do it. The variety of offering is dizzying but our server Benny did a great job explaining the entire process and offering to us. You need a game plan as you have so much going on that you could get lost in the process. Weekdays lunch is 18.99 for either hot pot or bbq. You add $5 if you want to do both. Dinner is 28.99 + $5 for both. Weekend is 28.99 + 5 all day long. We had a party of 7 so with 7 hot pots and 2 bbq grills going, it got a bit hectic and crowded. I would treat the hot pot as a personal side soup and eat a bit of it as you go along. You cook for yourself on the table so expect it going in. No one is cooking for you, which is not a big deal. It is all you can eat with a 2 hour limit but 2 hours is a long time to eat. Also, the portions, as is SOP in most all you can places, gets a bit smaller as time goes on because, well people mostly order with their head without consulting the stomach and end up with a lot of food being thrown away. Their side and sauce bar has a large variety so as a sauce man, this made me happy. On a side note, the chicken wings were surprising delicious. It reminded me of the old time corner carryout chicken wings of Baltimore way back in the days. Nice batter with a simple salt and pepper seasoning I think. Next time, I will experiment with some different sauces on it, but honestly, it was really good naked. Anyway, I would highly recommend this place. A friend noted that the location in Rockville has gone downhill since it's opening because they wouldn't bring out all the order that you place after the initial couple of rounds. He said he stopped going after 6 times because it got progressively worse. I understand why they do some of it, but it should not be to the point of a customer leaving unsatisfied and unhappy. I kind of saw a bit of it here too but we were still all satisfied. I hope they don't do it to the point that it is really noticeable and disrespectful. One major tip for now is that they don't have their liquor license yet so you can bring your own beverage. There is a liquor store nearby that you can pickup some soju. We didn't want to waste time going out to shop for soju but if we knew, we would have brought our own gallon size sojus with shot glasses and some rice rice with small brass bowls and had a party. That will be next time.

    We had a sweetest server ever. I’m sad that I can’t remember her name but she was so attentive and helpful. I’ve been to k-bbq before but this is my best experience so far. The food is really good, the service is fast and you get unlimited meat plus a range of sides and sauces to add those extra flavors.

    Had the hot pot, very good soup base choices. Loved how big the sauce bar is, plenty of varieties to choose from. Place was very clean and had a decent lunch selection.

  • 4/5 Rachelle H. 10 months ago on Google
    Everything was wonderful but the garlic chicken, also we weren't aware we could turn the grill heating element down and burned some of our bbq. Our waitress was fantastic, the hot tea was amazing, and the miso broth was delicious, overall experience was very good!

    Today was our first time in this place, it was a complete new experience, we enjoyed it A LOT “ Mia was a great server , the food is healthy, the place is nice and clean, I recommend it, we will definitely come back

  • 3/5 Chang, Chol K. 1 year ago on Google
    Thought that Korean folks would be running a Korean BBQ place, but it was an incorrect assumption. Asians were operating the restaurant but they were definitely not Koreans. Price... I guess it's somewhat average, but the food... I don't know... It's difficult for me to give more than 3 stars at best. Some opinion goes to my wife and 2 kids as well

  • 4/5 Ms. De l. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s our 1st time to eat here. We came to celebrate our anniversary. Our server Corrine was very nice and helpful. She explained everything to us to get started. There are a lot of meat and vegetables to choose from. There are also seafood such as shrimp, swab fish, and crabs(dinner). We tried the Thai broth which is spicy for me. There are a lot of types of mushrooms as well to choose from. You pay $5 more if you want to have both the hot pot and grill. The music is a little loud along with the fan. I will come back to try other items I didn’t get to try.

    They have an appetizer, dessert, and sauces bar. Come here with an empty stomach to get your money's worth. You can either get bbq or hotpot or Both for an additional $5 (see my photos for pricing). They also serve bubble tea!! Service was good when we came on a Friday for lunch. Would return if we live closer but we were here for work and wanted to try this place out... 10/10 👍🏼

  • 5/5 William F. 1 year ago on Google
    Best of both worlds for Kbbq and Hot Pot. It's very affordable for both and all you can eat. They have a sauce bar that has everything imaginable, also a fruit bar and hot bar with wings n fries. The other cool thing was the selection of things you can grill or put in your hot pot. I was also surprised to see that you can bring your own alcohol though they have some limitations. It's a new place so it's very busy but worth the wait.
