Been coming here for a while whenever I’m in town. I had been avoiding reviewing because we were bad at ordering and stuff wasn’t right, but this last session was actually perfect. Bathrooms were stainless, shrimp upfront was endless and our waitress stopped by to help and provide recommendations. If you’re in ask for Audine!!

We’ve been here several times and always have a great experience. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is relaxed, and service is prompt without ever feeling rushed. On our most recent visit, we were lucky to have Audine as our server—she was fantastic! She made sure we had everything we needed: our drinks were always full, our food came out fresh, and we left completely satisfied. We’ll definitely keep coming back!

K-Pot exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The service was not only attentive but incredibly accommodating—our server took the time to understand our food preferences and made thoughtful suggestions that really elevated the experience. The quality of the food was outstanding. Every cut of meat was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection right at the table. The variety on the menu made it easy for everyone in our group to find something they loved, from classic bulgogi to more adventurous options. The side dishes and dipping sauces were flavorful and complemented the grilled selections beautifully. What truly set K-Pot apart was the personalized service and attention to detail. They ensured dietary preferences were respected without sacrificing taste, and they made our dining experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

Ate here for the first time recently. Great food, great service! They bring portions out quickly, which I like. It's all you can eat. Lunch specials are a great price. Our server was very friendly, and he answered all of our questions about the food choices. Good variety of meats and seafood. And… They even have ice cream which my kid loved! I highly recommend this location! I will be back! Thank you!!!!

I LOVED this place! The hot pot and Korean bbq was delicious! You make everything on your own at your table. All ingredients were fresh and cooked easily on our table’s grill! There’s a vast selection of ingredients, so there’s something for everyone! There’s also a small buffet bar with sides and desserts. I can’t wait to go back!

Last night’s outing at Kpot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot was nothing short of spectacular. Located at 3700 East Dublin Granville Rd in Columbus, Kpot provides an immersive culinary experience that makes dining truly interactive and fun. The ambiance of the place sets the perfect stage for a lively meal with friends or family. At Kpot, the dining concept revolves around self-service at its finest. You’re not just a guest; you’re part of the cooking action. Each table features its own grill where you can cook an assortment of premium meats to your personal taste. The meat selection is impressive, ranging from thinly sliced marinated beef to tender pork belly, all waiting to be transformed on the grill. The two-hour dining limit adds an engaging twist to the meal. It’s a playful challenge to cook and enjoy as much as you can within the time frame. This setup ensures that the experience is not only about savoring the food but also about enjoying the process and the company you’re with. Kpot’s approach encourages diners to stay active and attentive—not just to the delicious food being prepared but also to the limited time they have. It’s a delightful race against the clock, ensuring that every moment at the grill is as enjoyable as it is flavorful. For those who love a bit of culinary adventure and enjoy the interactive aspect of grilling their own food, Kpot Korean BBQ & Hot Pot is an absolute must-try. And remember, to make the most of your visit, keep an eye on both the grill and the clock!
