I'm sitting there eating, and of course, it has very dim lighting, next thing I know, crawling up the wall next to me comes Mr. cockroach. I can't go back. I just can't. All I can think about now is that under that dark table there are roaches crawling around on my feet, up my leg, and down the wall. I was terrified they were crawling into my purse.

The space itself feels a bit dated and…read morequite heavy... the lighting is very dark, and even moving the dining chairs felt a bit difficult. A lighter, refreshed atmosphere would go a long way. I ended up ordering a few appetizers. The Hot & Sour Soup was the standout... flavorful, comforting, and easily a 5/5 on a cold n wet day. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. The shrimp rolls were below average... mostly lettuce, the shrimps were dried out, and they took about 10 extra minutes to come out. The crab rangoon was the biggest disappointment; the filling had an unpleasant smell and tasted like heavy, clotted cream cheese and there wasn't even an iota of imitation crab meat to justify that name. My friends ordered egg rolls, which actually looked pretty good (I'd say a solid 4/5), and Singapore noodles, which unfortunately looked underwhelming. Overall, there are a few bright spots, especially the soup, but the food quality and atmosphere were inconsistent. With some updates and more attention to freshness and flavor, this place could really improve.

Holy moly! This…read morewas such a great meal! I'm a huge fan of Indian food and other south Asian cuisine, but wasn't sure what to exactly expect with Nepalese food. I am hooked! It was different than Indian (obviously) but I think I may like this better. I got the Newari khaja set, which is a combination of several traditional Nepalese dishes and it was a fantastic introduction to the flavors they use. I ordered hot (I asked for a 7 on a hotness scale of 1 to 10) and it was perfect. The heat was balanced by a tangy mustard oil present in some of the dishes. It was a deep and hugely satisfying flavor profile. I will return many times and explore further offerings (their menu is vast). If you have not been here, go! If you like Indian food, try this! If you've never had Nepalese food, you owe it to yourself to try it. You will not be disappointed! The staff was super friendly and helpful as well.

We dined on a Friday evening for the seafood buffet. The offerings were more than enough, but the food was very bland and nothing special.

The buffet also offered a few normal items such as pork and catfish, which were good but nothing to write home about. The service is fine and we enjoyed looking in the gift shop afterwords. I would never go out of my way to dine here and likely won't be back. Save your money and time and go eat in a nearby town.

It is a nice store, it has great items... but the prices were a bit out of my budget so I skipped straight to the hot bar. I got two plates (pay per lb), two drinks, and two pie slices. The total was close to $70 for a two-person meal. I could no understand how the meals alone were a bit over $50, it did not feel like 2lbs per person, but then again I did not pay attention to the scale. The food was not very hot by the time we sat down to eat, and it was very crowded at 11 AM. The employees were meh but then again, it was a holiday so I appreciate their presence. We still had a good time, the food was good, but I am not sure if I'd return (mostly due to the cost). It reminded me of sprouts or whole foods, just smaller.

So as a reviewer I have always reviewed places I have visited from a perspective of pleasure or…read moredispleasure, but they have always been places I am somewhat familiar with. Tonight I stepped well out my "normal" to experience something untypical from my usual. As the old adage goes, "Try it, you might like it". Tonight my wife and I ate at the KPot to celebrate my son's birthday. He and his wife joined us. We were a party of four. I'll be honest, I didn't necessarily enjoy my time spent there. But here is the anomaly to my typical review. It wasn't because the establishment did anything wrong. It just wasn't my jam. I will be honest, I didn't see a lot of gray hair there. I'm pushing fifty and the crowd I saw was the 20-35 crowd. Some families but not the overwhelming demographic. It seemed more like single and mingle and bff night out kind of crowd. There's nothing wrong with that of course, but we don't really fit that demographic. So despite my own lackluster feelings, let me give an honest review here. What was good? Let's start there. Parking lot fairly large and well lit. Greeted at the door with a smile. Wait was about fifteen minutes. Bathroom...impeccably clean. Dining area, also very clean. Tables were clean and all stations worked. Seating was ample. The atmosphere is modern and retro. Waiters work alongside robots to provide food to the tables. It has a very contemporary ambience. Everything brought to the table was fresh and well presented. We purchased the K Pot and the barbecue so we could immerse ourselves in the complete experience. The food tased good. Here is what I didn't care for. First, when stuff was brought to the table, no one explained what each service was and we lost track of what was delivered to our table. We all kind of sat there trying to figure out which service had been delivered to the table and whose order had arrived. Four people cooking became a little chaotic to suit me. Again, just not my thing. I enjoy sitting down and relaxing while someone else cooks my meal. Doing so myself was not relaxing. I didn't like having to wait between courses to heat up the rest of my meal before eating it. Had I understood the concept better I may have timed my eating while cooking was being done, I don't know. The other thing that contributed to my lackluster experience was that all the sauces were listed using their traditional names, which gave me no indication of what they tasted like. Part of the fun I guess is experimenting, but again, I'd much rather just order something I know I enjoy eating. The guessing game was not something I found appellate. We also found that after awhile of eating and ordering, the waiter came around less often and our plates no longer were cleared by bus staff. We started to genuinely feel like we were subliminally being pushed out. Our waiter wasn't bad but nothing stood out per se about his service. I went for quite awhile with an empty drink and had to ask twice for the same refill. Given some of the spicy stuff I was trying, a fresh beverage would have been appreciated. Here is my honest take. If you like a modern and unique dining experience, this is a great place to go. It does not have a cozy or romantic feel. It is very "hip" atmosphere. I left full. I left having had a new experience in life. My family had a good time together celebrating my son's birthday. It was a win. The last thing I have to mention is price. My daughter in law had a ten dollar drink but other than that we all did standard soda or water drinks. Our bill was almost $200. Some may argue that's fair. It seemed a little high for food I had to cook on my own. I honestly probably won't be back, but that is no fault of this establishment. They run a clean friendly restaurant and it's worth eating there at the very least, once. For that reason I give it five stars! If this is your jam, you'll like jamming here. If it's not, you came you saw and you left full. If you didn't, it's your fault!

Loved the Japanese Miso base hot pot and my bf loved the Thai Tom Yam base and loved it. The sliced lamb, sliced ribeye, sliced beef belly, and prime brisket are good. The pork dumplings are good too. The service was great and the waiter explained how it all work so well and was very helpful! It's 32.99 for all you can eat so it's worth it if you order a lot, so show up to eat!!
