Love eating here! I came for my birthday and it is my second time eating here. They have a hibachi bar that is amazing. You fill up a plate with what you want, pick your sauce(s) and they cook it fresh. There is also lots of premade foods. Awesome selection. The service at your table is also good, multiple times they pass by and check on you, refill drinks etc. The atmosphere is very nice and casual. A good place to hangout and eat lots and lots of food! Had a great birthday here and will be back again.

We stumbled on this place by mistake. We wanted to have some noodles, rice, dumplings and fruit for the Lunar New Year and happened to be close to this place. It was clean with fresh food. The service was very pleasant and helpful. So much to choose from. The desserts, fresh fruits and hibachi ingredients were impressive for a buffet. We will definitely be back again. There is a huge water feature in the front entrance and the prior seafood restaurant decor as mentioned in a previous review but it didn't seem humid to us, but can see when it's packed or in warmer months that might be an issue.

The experience was nice. The family showed up to try out a new dinner spot, and it was great. The food was warm and the environment was calm. The place was very clean.

this place didn't really surprise me with food.. I love buffets and visit those a lot, but hibachi buffet didn't stand out. considering the size of place, I didn't get enough of choice, and almost no selection in sushi + chicken I was eating was impossible to eat, super dry, impossible to chew. I wouldn't go to this place, but my husband likes the food and personally for him, there is enough selection, I guess everyone has different taste. just try it for yourself and decide if you like hibachi buffet, or no

Will return - my friend and I are up since 5:30 and done 1.2 miles open water swimming by 9:30 at Sand Key park. After the medal ceremony at 10:30, we're hungry ... thanks to my friend who picked this place! They have a main hall where the foods are. There is a smaller one at the back. The food is decent. I particularly enjoyed the green string beans! I think their cheese cream spinach - the spinach is bit sweet - my friend tried and said NO. Most serving staff are Chinese. They're cheerful and quick on their feet. They take Apple Pay - yup, forgot my wallet. Thank you! The waterfall by the entrance is nice.

Wow! Duff's Buffet was SO good! Everything was hot and tasted like down-home cooking. The fried…read moregreen tomatoes were to die for, the prime rib and ham were delicious, and the dessert selection--including all the pies and ice cream--was great! The salad bar was fresh and crisp, with an amazing selection of toppings. You could even make your own tacos and fajitas! I paid only $21 and change for all-you-can-eat plus a Coke. I was absolutely stuffed! Our server was AMAZING. He kept up with everything even though they were busy, clearing plates quickly and bringing refills before I even had to ask. Don't forget to tip your servers--they work hard! The only thing I didn't love was the fried chicken--it had a slight fish taste, possibly from the fryer oil. But honestly, that's the only negative I could find. I'll definitely be back! It truly felt like home.

Unfortunately, our overall experience was disappointing. The food was very bland, and my chicken…read morewas still pink uncooked inside. We had to add salt to nearly everything. The greens contained far too many onions, and the corn was sticky and lacked flavor. The atmosphere also felt uncomfortable. While I was waiting for my partner near the restroom, the manager came out and commented that she could wash her hands somewhere else, even though two sinks were available and I was not blocking anyone. My partner is a masculine-presenting woman, and the interaction made us question whether that influenced the way we were treated. Regardless of the reason, the comment felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Between the food quality and the uncomfortable interaction with management, we did not have a positive experience.

They do ask for ID to show your birthday. We both got the hot pot and k-bbq combo, mine was 34.99. Our server was Sky and he was awesome and helpful and friendly. We had chicken and mushroom broth for our hotpot's and it was nice that they were two smaller pots on the side while we had our grill in the middle. They also have a salad bar and sauce bar on the side. They bring you your meats that you choose from their menu. They also bring you hot pot items, there are also some hot pot items on their conveyor belt. We don't do hot pot & kbbq often and after getting a hang of it's fine. It does feel like a lot of work at first. But hot pot you are just throwing stuff in the pot and bbq you are flipping them over, we also made fried rice on the grill too. My husband and I enjoyed it. He often doesn't want to do it and we both thought it was tasty. They have desserts here as well. He had a strawberry cake and I had a mango cake. We were both so full when we were done. It's stylish inside with large and small booths. It was two of us. I would have wanted a bigger booth bc of all the plates and bowls we had.

This is the perfect spot to bring the whole family to celebrate just about any major holiday--birthdays, Thanksgiving, and especially Christmas. Nothing says holiday spirit like gathering around a table full of sizzling Korean BBQ, bubbling hot pot, and taking advantage of the beer tower special. And if you're looking for an escape from the Florida heat, KPOT has you covered. They have six air conditioners keeping the place nice and cool. Yes, I counted. (Picture in the comments) Great food, fun atmosphere, family-friendly, a great beer tower special, and possibly the most climate-controlled Korean BBQ experience in Florida. Easy 5 stars!

We sat outside with a beautiful view of the beach and sunset. We even had a shark sighting! The wine list is the same as Deep End on the rooftop, excellent, but the menu is different and scrumptious. We had mussels as an appetizer. My wife had the butter duck, a nice twist to the traditional Indian dish. It was tender and so flavorful! I had the grouper which was perfectly crispy on the outside. The mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts were likewise delicious. The sunset was beautiful! Great experience, view and food

I had the oysters and Key West shrimp with risotto. First off, the oysters are a complete joke. They were tiny with no meat, not prepared well by the kitchen and freshness was a problem with 1 of them. Regarding the shrimp dish, it lacked flavor and was super oily. This dish has potential and unfortunately was a huge disappointment given some freshness issue I had with one of the shrimps which tasted ammoniated. We had ordered a side of truffle fries which was over salted and borderline unedible. We sat outside which had amazing views which unfortunately was ruined by bugs and gnats that kept hitting me in the face constantly during the meal. This restaurant needs a lot more attention to detail and quality control before I would give it a 2nd chance. The only reason why this is not a 1 star review is because the service was excellent and the view was nice. The gnats are a serious problem and management needs better pest control.

It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful! Everyone should be able to experience these. But ocean hai on your list as a must try place for sure.

We had the nicest table right on the patio overlooking the beach and it was fantastic. Our server was pleasant when she was around, but it seemed like she went missing for long periods of time and always right when we seemed to need something. Service was generally slow and the restaurant wasn't super busy when we were there. Food was mediocre at best. We started with the bulgogi beef skewers and the ahi tuna apps. The skewers were sort of dry and chewy...and I don't know that they tasted like bolgogi. The tuna tartar app tasted heavily of lime and nothing else and the cuts on the tuna were pretty messy and made it a bit difficult to eat. The grouper entree was okay, but the piece of fish I got looked like a baseball in that it was thick and sort of round? It made it just kind of tough and overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside. The chicken fried rice was good, but nothing to write home about.
