This place is great for groups. We were seated in a booth and we were greeted by our server right away. He did a great job of explaining the different options of what to order. The food was excellent! The hot bar & vegetable/salad bar were excellent! They had of bunch of different "appetizer" type options on the hot bar. However there was so much food with the KBbq that we were actually disappointed that we wasted stomach space on the hot bar (eventhough the food was good!). The hot pot was great & the broth had such great flavor. The KBbq was amazing! We really loved all the different cuts of meat for the grill! The short ribs were a fav & there's more than enough food for the table so everyone leaves more than full! It's also great that eventhough this place is busy & set up well for groups, it's not overly loud so you can still carry on a normal volume level conversation with others at your table! Ktown is a favorite for sure!

There are carnival type games and other distractions to pass the time. When seated your table has a large stove surface in the middle where you will either be doing BBQ or hot pot cooking. The menu is straightforward and easy to choose your option. The whole table has to choose the same option (BBQ or hot pot) so discussion might be helpful before the waiter arrives. Then you choose your meat and broth type and head to the never ending salad and veggie area. It has veggies, noodles, sauces, toppings and more! The waiter tells you em several times it is all you can eat, thus the higher price point. Make sure to note too though that if you order a lot more than you eat you will get charged a few for leftovers. They want to curb food waste which is commendable. I suggest starting small and then building as for sure you get full rather quickly! My favorite aspect was the sauce area where they listed sauce combos the recommend. It helped me a lot to have some guidance and I liked the sauce I chose from their list. A fun interactive experience and good for groups. It is loud and smelly as you are basically sitting inside a large kitchen. But a fun experience and yummy food so worth a visit!

After the ownership change, Uniq (now with lowercase letters!) is actually... okay now, I guess?…read moreStill nothing impressive, but it's a solid C+ and the new owners (heard they are the same guys behind Haru) actually seem to know what they're doing. My favorite things in the new Uniq are easily the chinmi (fishcake) tempura and the mixed drink (I got Green Apple, which came in a nice blue liquid like the chemical cocktail it is) which is... honestly kinda sad, but they got actual KBBQ now and are a lot more professional about the whole thing. Seriously though, for an AYCE appetizer, the chinmi tempura was quite excellent, though the shrimp tempura on the other hand was sad and soggy and raw and all-around depressing. Dae Gee still has much better appetizer options, that's for sure (nothing can beat a good Midwestern cheese corn yummmm). I still don't get what's supposed to be so uniq about this place though? Perhaps it's the tiny amount of broth and banchan they give you? Both have unlimited refills if you just ask, but something about it still strikes me as being particularly stingy. None of the meats are particularly special either even though they have more choices now. Most of the cuts are fatty (the galbi in particular is what we'd call a "trash cut" due to how fatty it is) and the different flavor profiles that they have like bulgogi, spicy honey or umakara ("sweet-and-spicy") just kind of blend together. The beef tongue also struck me as being way tougher than it had any business being, perhaps it was cut a little too thick. Much of the seafood is still obviously from Rang Dong. Though they got rid of the syrupy "bingsu" and just offer buffet ice cream now, which is actually a nice change of pace. It's about Paradise Buffet level in terms of cream quality, which I guess isn't so bad. Perhaps the one GOOD and uniq thing I can talk about is that they were playing RELATIVELY obscure K-Pop songs like Nekkoya when we visited, rather than the ultra-popular stuff that you hear everywhere in Chinatowns, with some Persona 5 OST and Ado thrown in. I respect. Should've turned the volume up further, though. If you're gonna weeb out, do it correctly. TL;DR I still like Dae Gee better tbh, but they have some competition now.

It's not bad - there's a tremendous amount of different ingredients on offer for hot pot on the buffet. But some of the meats seemed a bit dried up and there was frozen meat mixed with thawed meat. The dipping sauces leave quite a lot to be desired - I didn't see anything to compare with what is available at K-Town. I haven't really eaten anything off the buffet but the person I was with got some fried things - rangoons or some such - and he said they were old and cold, obviously left over from the night before. I don't think I'll be patronizing this establishment again.

Visited 2 years ago…read more.. Goodness is what's cooking at cafe Korea unfortunately the services doesn't deliver. Arrived at the establishment at 6:39pm on a Sunday. Wanted to scout some cool places to take the parents. Greeted by a lovely woman and seated immediately. Let's call the waiter Joe the Sloth, greater us with the same enthusiasm as the hostess after about a 10 min wait in a half capacity restaurant. Ordered coke and a water which came out 7 mins later. There was enough time to scour the extensive menu and formulate some great questions. Joe the Knowledgeable even helped pick out a nice bottle of Black Cherry Wine. And this is where Joe became the absentee. Food came out a whopping 47 mins later for one entree and about an additional 21 extra mins for the other dish. There was a larger table behind us that I guess waited longer and were supplied with so many of the 6 available sides they were "Sided-Out". Joe the unapologetic refused to refill the side dishes that we requested. Joe the "I have better things to do", never checked on us except to ask if we wanted a box. Joe the "I will not acknowledge that I never refilled the sides". Joe the "It's the Kitchens fault that your food came out weird". Joe the "let's walk off in the middle of your sentence." (I kid you not). Joe the "I want you to know how much I hate my job because I refuse to do my job." Couldn't even remember how good the food was because the service was so bad. This goes out to Joe who soured my experience and made my Sunday feel like thee worst Pre-Monday.

There was definitely plenty to eat and I took leftovers home. There was a group of us and they did a good job getting everyone waited on and taken care of. The gal across from me may have received the wrong dish as she ordered mild and the dish was too spicy for her but from what I heard in the group everyone else enjoyed their meals. The interior was clean and modern and the chairs were comfortable. We did have a big group and it was a little difficult for some to get into their seats because they set us up at a long seat with single seats on the other side and you really had to scoot in a long way if you sat on the side opposite the single chairs and it is not too easy for us old ladies. The parking was really easy and up close to the building. It may look like it is closed from the Scatterfield Rd side because the cars are all on the other side of the building facing the strip mall. I will say I will definitely be back and likely get takeout for the hubby and I.

The sleek, modern décor makes it feel both stylish and inviting. Since it's still new, it was quite busy with plenty of people eager to check it out. We expected a wait, and sure enough, there was one. The only downside is that the front area isn't designed for waiting -- there's just a small bench and not much space to stand without being in the way. The staff, however, were attentive and worked quickly to seat everyone. We were initially told the wait would be 45 minutes and were about to leave, but as we turned to go, they let us know it had dropped to 20-30 minutes, so we decided to stay. Right before being seated, we learned that everyone at the table needs to choose either the Kpot or BBQ option. We weren't familiar with how it worked, so we went with BBQ. Once seated, it felt a bit overwhelming at first -- the booths are very large! I'm on the shorter side, so I found it a little difficult to get comfortable since I had to lean forward quite a bit to reach the table. The food itself was okay -- tasty to me but not outstanding -- I think I just got impatient with the grilling. The prices were on the higher side. Still, the overall experience was exciting and fun. It's definitely a great place to go with a group if you're looking for something lively and different.

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot offers an "all-you-can-eat" dining experience in which customers cook their own food at the table. Guests can choose between Korean BBQ, hot pot, or both, and then order a variety of raw meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles via iPad. Standing buffet seems sparse, and do rely on ipad and servers to bring a variety of noodles, veggies, rice, broths, meats, and seafood to your table for cooking. Tanya was our very informed server who talked very fast, but learn by experience was our task. Nicely remolded property which permitted a few parent with screaming children to cause us regret at selecting a lunch. Kpot has the potential of being a nice date night location - depends on screaming children who are in attendance. Travel tip, there is another Asian buffet on Kingsridge Drive. We like the newness of the property, the menu, the service, the food, and the overall experience. Kpot seems to be doing a thriving business, and this is a small chain.

We had already promised our child that we would take them and their friends there so we couldn't leave once we found out. But I'll never go back due to this deceptive practice. As for the service, we told our server it was our first time there. She didn't explain anything to us at all. We had to figure out how the warning plate worked, we had to figure out how to order, we only figured out that there was a little bar with extra sauces and other toppings when we were almost done. Honestly, just a very disappointing experience overall, that cost us over $150 by the time the service charge and tip were figured in (yes, we still tipped 20% - we're not monsters). we didn't even get any drinks. Never again.
