Chu Shang Hot pot + BBQ is such a fun combo. Cooking your own food at the table makes it feel like…read morean experience, not just a meal. Tons of variety with meats, seafood, sides, and appetizers. The all-you-can-eat option is a big plus. They have tons of variety drinks and ice cream that are included in the price already...no extra cost! A big plus as a mama of 3....the play area that keeps my kiddos entertained. Also, the ambiance is great! Very clean! It can get a little hectic juggling both grill and broth, but overall it's 100% worth it. Come hungry!

We arrived a bit earlier than expected, somewhere I read they opened at 11 instead of noon, so we…read moredecided to go grocery shopping next door! Arrived to a quiet, low key establishment, a bit eerie as we were the only ones there and light were still off, but were welcomed, none the less. Once everything lit up, the food was slowly being brought out and the choices for lunch were limited. No hot items at the sides and the sauces available were interesting, interestingly enough to concoct something on my own. Drink fridge was well stocked, but the dessert freezer was lacking in selection, Haagen Dazs was only available. Play area was the only buff/flex for us, as our busy toddler needed to roam free. I should have opted for a closer seating to the play area so we could take turns watching and eating/cooking :) but it worked out, like I mentioned, it was low key and we were rushed. Regarding food, they were helpful and provided service for items that were not readily available on the hot sides area, salt and pepper shrimp... YES PLEASE! Other than that, similar to KBBQ style, but not the same sauces, so be wary of that, I didn't mind, but wanted to share that. Veggies are always a win where there's pumpkin/squash and eggplant ^_^

Having access to top-notch Korean fried chicken just down the road from my work has now changed all…read morelunches from now on. I ordered my meal ahead of time through DoorDash, and it turned out to be an easy and quick pickup with the food being hot and fresh when I arrived. The wings are by far the best Korean fried chicken I've had, with every piece packed with juicy meat. This is exactly what you expect when ordering this dish, and the honey sesame sauce did not disappoint one bit. The wings were perfectly coated, and there was still a pool of sauce for dipping at the bottom of the container. Next time I will definitely turn up the heat and try one of their spicier sauce options to experience that flavor profile. The nicely fried mandoo pork dumplings were full of a delicious filling mixture that paired perfectly with the soy vinegar dipping sauce. The dumplings had a crispy exterior that gave way to a flavorful, well-seasoned interior. The only thing I'm disappointed with is that I didn't discover Dolsot House sooner.

In a word: spectacular. Spectacular food, service, and atmosphere. Just all around spectacular…read more My girlfriend, son and I came here on a Saturday at 5:15 hoping to beat the dinner rush but it was already packed. We were lucky to get a table at all. It remained packed our entire time there. BYOB so my girlfriend and I brought two beers with us and they provided glasses. We ordered three main dishes and two appetizers and all of the food was amazing. Soups, dumplings, bibimbap, bulgogi... all flavorful and delicious. Despite the crowded dining room, everything came out quickly. The servers were all incredibly kind, efficient and professional. This was my first time back here in over a decade but based on our experience, I hope to come more regularly in the future.

Had been wanting to try Kpot for quite sometime. Finally visited this weekend with wife and to…read moreour surprise we both had to order same type food such as beef, chicken, pork, etc. Since my wife is a vegetarian, big problem! Our server did ask her manager if we could order separately but no was the answer! The food looked good but just beware of their food order policies!

KPot at Franklin Mills is hands down my favorite restaurant EVER. And it's not just because the…read morefood is incredible, it's the people that make this place so special. Michael, the manager, always greets us with a smile, and sometimes we even get lucky enough to have him as our server. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen this guy have a bad day. He's professional, welcoming, funny, and somehow makes every visit feel personal. Gin is also amazing, we absolutely love getting him as our waiter. Honestly though, we've never had a bad experience with any member of the staff. Everyone there is friendly and attentive, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. For years, this has been the ONLY restaurant my mom consistently wants to go to. We use way too much sauce, accidentally burn half our food, and still somehow have the best time every single visit. The atmosphere is just that good. And the food? Absolutely top tier. The meats, seafood, and vegetables are always fresh. The Thai Tom Yum broth is my personal favorite and never disappoints. My mom is obsessed with the KPot short rib, and honestly, I can see why, it's amazing. I'm hooked on the sweet and spicy sauce with the garlic shrimp. Every time I tell someone about this place, I hype it up with the same excitement because it truly deserves it. If you've never been to KPot Franklin Mills, just GO. I swear you will not be disappointed.
