Hi JPOT, I'm honestly pretty disappointed. It was Trapper Sushi vs. JPOT for dinner, and JPOT won solely because I was dreaming about sesame balls for dessert. Fast forward to the end of the meal... no sesame balls. I asked our waitress what happened, and she had no idea. After all that meat, my heart (and stomach) was ready and the sesame balls never showed up. It might sound dramatic, but they were the deciding factor. So now I'm just left with one question... What happened to the sesame balls??? read more

Didn't hate it but didn't love it. It's definitely worth the experience at least once. Paid about $30 during lunch hour. It's unlimited meats and soup on limited time. Now if I knew what I was doing it probably would have tasted more to my liking. You pick all your soup preferences from the broth to the noodles. Then you pick what you want inside of it. Next you pick all the meats you'd like to cook some costing in additional fees. They were out of some of the choices. They have a side bar for all the veggies and sauces as well as a dessert bar. The restaurant was nice and our waiter was great and attentive. I went more for the experience. read more

Great food, they were unfortunately out of the things we initially tried to order but otherwise had backup options. My husband got the bbq but wasn't a fan of the miso fish. I had the jpot with brisket and was thrilled. Kids under 7 eat free for a limited time so kiddo just kind of picked off us. Our server Nichole was very sweet and helpful with explaining everything. The restaurant itself is very nice too. Only thing I wish I would've gotten is more options at the veggie bar but there was still a good selection. read more

I really believe this is the best BBQ place around, we drove all the way from Cibolo to visit some friends and this is the place they suggested. Very vast menu. Strawberry lemonade was so good and kids eat free under 7. Also open flame and that's neat as well. read more

Jpot - Hot Pot Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

"There was fire. There were meats. There was a woman watching me pretend I knew what I was doing." If you'd told the me 20 years ago that I'd be paying top dollar to cook my own dinner over open flame and dunk raw meat into a pot of spicy lava water, I would've laughed so hard I'd spill my pint. But here we are--glorious Sunday, 2025--and I'm fully locked in to the JPOT lifestyle. Walked in with zero clue and a hot date, which meant I had to look like a seasoned grill master slash broth wizard. Easier said than done, mate. I had a raw filet mignon searing while ramen boiled beside it, and I'm trying to pretend that juggling all of this is just my average Sunday. There were sauces I couldn't pronounce, a bar of mystery greens, and tongs being passed like sacred artifacts. And you know what? I left full. I left entertained. I left proud. JPOT isn't just dinner--it's an event. A bit chaotic, a bit primal, a bit like if a hibachi grill and a sauna had a delicious baby. Would I go back? Yeah. I'd bring gloves, an appetite, and maybe a laminated cheat sheet. But I'm game. 5 stars. Would hot pot again. read more

First timers here!!!! Adjusting from a similar place, it exceeded my expectations! Default grill is the one with holes, but if you want the flat ones - ASK! The portions are in abundance! You won't leave hungry! I love the options at the ready cooked food at the Buffett! They had fried rice, pot stickers, shrimp tempura, wings, fruit, and desserts! Our server Hussein was awesome! He wore two hats - bartender and server! Very attentive AND informative! Ambiance is IG worthy! I like the coziness and private tables! Biggest plus - I love close by! Definitely coming back! read more

We came here about 2 weeks ago and had a good experience. Waiters were very informative since it was our first time dining in, they went through the whole menu & how everything works. They give you A LOT OF FOOD if you choose the grill, so be mindful of that. Go in with an appetite & be ready to chow down. Food: 9/10 fried rice was okay lol read more

Food: delicious, quality is superb. Flavor is good, loved the marinated chicken thighs. Meat was tender. Service: Gabriel was helpful from start to finish. Explained to my husband how everything worked. Recommended sauces to try, and even made a yummy passion fruit mojito (made with sake) so delicious. Ambiance: perfect for groups and date night. It gorgeous on the inside. The mural when you first walk in is beautiful. read more

Great staff that is trying to make this a great place, but the food isn't that good, the veggie line is lacking, and it's dirty. If I was 19, I may take a girl here on a date. The middle of the table is an open-flame BBQ grill with steel mesh to keep food from falling through, yet some do make it through, so there is always an aroma of burning food in the air. The menus are hard to read, and there isn't much guidance on what best practices are. So, if you like cooking and know your direction, this may be your place. If the kitchen isn't your thing, it's like being a bachelor on a Thursday night, concocting a dish from leftover groceries. The price was reasonable, and because we didn't stay long, they charged only a portion of the fee without us asking. So, my recommendation: Go here if you have time to kill, like cooking, and are savvy about whipping up your dishes from available meat, spices, and raw veggies. Stay away if you are hungry and looking to be served with meals ready to go. I also would not bring kids under 14 here. read more

Overall, the experience was really fun. They have the Jpot AND BBQ option however you cannot do both if you are with multiple people. I would like for them to redesign the tables because there was no legroom for us. Besides that they give great portions and have a lot of options when it comes to the seasonings and sauces. They also have a lot of appetizers and some dessert options. I loved the music they played, and everyone was very welcoming. They have all types of meats as well with different starches. I mostly ate seafood. Lastly, the restroom was really clean. The only reason why I didn't give them five stars is due to the price, not reflecting the quality. I feel like they could do a better job of maintaining the salad/sauces/appetizer bar area. read more

We were charged premium holiday pricing, yet arrived to find an empty vegetable bar, no kimchi, and no sliced chicken available. This was especially disappointing given that multiple prior reviews mention frequent item shortages at this location. I chose to stay and give the restaurant a chance after expressing my dissatisfaction, but unfortunately the experience only declined from there. I left feeling lethargic (due to poor food quality- veggies with black spots, meat not marinated etc.), uncomfortable, and frustrated that I had paid such a high price for such poor quality and service. The guests I brought with me also commented that the meat we grilled lacked any seasoning or marinade and required additional salt to be palatable. Overall, the experience was embarrassing. I have visited several Jpot and kpot experiences, and this was by far the worst experience. Many in our party ended up filling up on fried sides, oranges, and pre packed desserts due to the lack of quality options. We will not be returning. read more

This place was a fun experience. The price was approximately $34/person. We felt it was a little expensive but we are not big eaters. You have 90 minutes to eat, which is quite generous and the time starts when food comes. The waitresses/waiters work very hard and are constantly running. The salad bar was really good and well stocked with different items. They honored a card from a local weight loss doctor that requests they let the person order kids portion, which will be one of the reasons we will return because that was a savings due to the little amount eaten. The food was delicious and fresh. A nice, new, and fun place to go for a night out! read more

Checked out this new hot pot/ bbq spot and was very impressed! Compared to the other local similar places the meat quality was much better! Hopefully, this stays the same. It was a rainy day so I went hard on the hot pot, while my husband was focused on the bbq. They have a pretty standard sauce and appetizer bar. Everything was pretty clean too. We went mid day so there wasn't as many servers so the service was a little slower, but not complainable. I order beef brisket, beef belly, and ribeye for my soup, which was amazing. I had to get multiple rounds. They do slack a bit on the vegetable portions. From the bbq, the garlic beef ribeye cubes were my favorite. My husband ordered more to grill me ample portions. Definitely, recommend for the meat quality! read more

I really wanted to love J Pot Hot Pot & BBQ, but based on my experience (and my cousin's as well), it fell short compared to other Korean BBQ and hot pot spots in San Antonio. The BBQ selection is limited, and the flavors weren't as bold or well-seasoned as what you'd expect from a Korean BBQ experience. While there is a decent variety of vegetables, some didn't seem as fresh when I visited, which was disappointing. The wait staff wasn't very attentive and didn't seem very knowledgeable, which affected the overall experience. My cousin had a similar visit and shared the same feedback--food lacking flavor and fewer choices compared to other places. That said, I'm still hopeful they improve and step up their game because competition in this space is strong, and I genuinely want to see them succeed. On a positive note, the location is very convenient--especially if you're on the far northwest side near Costco in the Dove Creek Shopping Center. With some improvements in flavor, variety, and service, this spot could definitely be much better. read more

I enjoyed going to Jpot BBQ. They had a good selection of food for the hot pot and the BBQ. I liked that it was smoky or smelled like grease like their competitors. While I enjoyed the hot pot, barbecue, and the mini "buffet" I'm giving it 4 stars. This might sound crazy but there was a lot of meat provided for the BBQ; it was almost too much. I wish there were bigger servings of meat for the hot pot and vegetables, mushrooms, and noodles for both. I was also disappointed in the short ribs because there wasn't much seasoning. I will return for hot pot in the future and skip the BBQ. read more

The chicken wings were crispy and were honestly worth just coming in for, flavorful, and easily the standout. The condiments bar was impressively clean the lady working the bar was on to over every drop and making sure it stayed clean, which made the experience feel fresh and organized. The appetizers weren't fully stocked when we arrived but they slowly added more and more as we enjoyed our food. The hotpot delivered rich, satisfying flavor, but the KBBQ grills underperformed and need to be changed out, also the meat quality didn't quite match expectations during our visit. Our waitress was kind and on top of it, the ambience was nine and esthetically pleasing Nonetheless we will come back in hopes of improvement. read more

My favorite bbq spot! The meats and hot bar are fresh. Always leave satisfied. Although I will say it's sad seeing so much wear and tear, this place is too new! The booth we sat in was basically falling apart. Other than the cosmetics, it's great and staff is friendly. read more

The food (meat) was bland and tough. No flavor whatsoever. Having served 12 years in south Korea JPOT is not even close to Korean BBQ. Met a great friend there based on Location convenience and we were all disappointed. The server was great bur the place wasn't worth the $150 it cost to feed 3 people. The meat wasn't even cut right. It was cut in much a way that made it tough. The filler looked like a round blob of rear end meat. Just not happy with the food and we don't go back. read more

Out of 7 items on a weekend! 2nd recent visit that they have been out of the basics, like Ribs for instance. This time we left cause we didn't have guests with us. This place has really went down hill. Food quality has remained good, but the management is just not doing their job. Out of 7 items! On a weekend!! Poor management., do better Jpot or move to Alamo Ranch with all the other whatever restaurants. read more

Jpot - Part of the menu - Hot Pot Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We finally got around to trying it. It was mixed for us. It was actually going to be a three till the end of the meal when we got a pleasant surprise. Let's start of course with the negatives for us. It's an interesting concept that is not the norm in our country. At times having to cook your own proteins and veggies was a little frustrating. Yes we knew that coming in, but until you experience it, you never know. They could also have been a little more helpful with cooking tips and sauces. We pretty much were experimenting. The seafood is definitely not very good for the grilling like we ordered. Makes more sense for the hot pot. The calamari grilled was extremely chewy, and the shrimp were very easy to overcook. Also not as flavorful as the beef. It was also quite pricey. You figure doing the cooking would be make it a little more affordable. I get it, it's all you can eat, but only for an hour or so, and you would be surprised how much you get tired of grilling your own meat. You don't eat as much you would think. The chicken was also kind of mediocre. Not as flavorful and not as spicy as the waiter told us it would be. Ok let's start with the positives. Our waiter was very attentive with refills, and with clearing our table. Never had to flag him down. If you get the grill, stick to beef! We had the filet mignon(limited to one per diner), yakinuki ribeye, garlic miso skirt, kalbi short ribs, and the only pork we had the pork belly. The table favorite was the garlic miso skirt. So juicy, tasty and easiest of all to cook! All the beef was great. The reason it got bumped to a 4 was our waiter reminded us of the filet mignon. It was delicious and they bring it to you with compound butter on top. He didn't have to remind us, I know how expensive it is, and made the sting of the bill not so bad. They have sooo many sauces and they are all amazing! The chili sauce was by far the table favorite! They had tortillas, which we didn't get, but gave us a little chuckle. The most surprising was the wings(already cooked) were excellent! Go figure! They have a smaller than expected vegetable cart, but it was all fresh. There are not very many choices for sides, but they were good. They had ice cream cup singles and some bars and fruit for dessert. I think we will be back to try the hotpot. I think it lends itself more to a variety of the meats and a little safer flavor wise! read more

We went to Jpot and had an amazing experience. We were trying to eat Korean BBQ, but we did not want to drive 40 minutes, so we decided to give this place a try. From the moment you walk in the greeters are so friendly, the decor is cute with Japanese cherry blossoms, and there wasn't music blasting which was nice since we had our 14 month old with us. Gigi was our server and made us feel right at home. She brought our food out quickly, did grill changes before we asked, and was overall so attentive. The meat quality was amazing for the price. Way better than other places I have been to. They also have a ton of options. My only request is that they add ponzu sauce and huy fong chili garlic sauce. These are such a staple for me at Korean BBQ places. For the time being we will just bring our own next time. We will definitely be coming back and adding this spot to our regular rotation. read more

Jpot BBQ in the Dove Creek plaza. My review is on hotpot- we didn't do the bbq portion. Really sad we went here for Mother's Day, we spent so much money and the broths for the soup were tasteless. I tried to give them a chance and try 4 different broths too. Nope, no flavor for every one of them. unfortunately I wouldn't recommend. read more

My family of 4 got ravenous after running some errands/shopping. We wanted something Teppanyaki-ish and landed on Japanese bbq. J pot is a Japanese bbq and hot pot place with options to do one or the other, or both for an additional $5. We opted for bbq. You pay a flat fee for all you can eat, based on your age. Kids 11 and older pay the adult fee of ~$35. If you're 7-10, it's like ~$16. If you're 4-6, ~$12. 3 and under are free. Not a bad price for adults if you eat all the protein lol. There's a "bar" where you can get a mix of hot and cold things. Hot items included chicken wings, fried rice, dumplings, veggie spring rolls and shrimp tempura. Cold was edamame (unsalted), cantaloupe, individual mousse-like dessert cups & an assortment of sauces. You can make your own sauce/dips. I like the J soy sauce myself. Our server was fairly attentive. She wasn't overbearing but checked in from time to time to ask us how things tasted. The meats came out at a decent pace. We tried seafood (garlic shrimp), poultry (spicy chicken), beef (bulgogi, bone-in short ribs, rib eye cubes), pork belly, broccoli, corn with cheese, green lettuce and potatoes. Everything tasted good. We didn't grill the lettuce, rather, we used them to make lettuce wraps with the bulgogi). I don't recommend the potatoes. They take too long to cook and never get really "done." Short ribs were my fav, bulgogi was husband and eldest's fav, and youngest loved the pork belly. Don't expect cocktails. You get a selection of sake, beer, soda, lemonades (which you can add flavored popping boba) or water. If you like sweet, I recommend the lychee sake. Parking is plenty. Interior is thoughtfully decorated - though some of the lights on our fake cherry blossom tree were dead lol. We did have to carefully dance around the oil laying on the floor, less we wanted to slip and fall. (Each table has a bottle of oil to grease their metal grates). read more

Went for lunch and highly recommend. The value for the price is spot on. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I love the little sauce and appetizer bar, the sauces were delicious add ons.

First off, idk why this place is rated what it is cause it's great all around! Upon entering we were greeted immediately and asked if we were military (discount) which we appreciate them asking us instead of us telling them. Our server Krayon was very attentive, kept things organized, and was personable. I appreciate how he kept our drinks and table filled at all times. I love that there was a hot buffet with fried rice, tempura, gyoza, spring rolls, etc. ready for us to snack on while we waited for our hot pot and meats to be delivered to our table. I also had fun creating and mixing my own sauces at the sauce bar. The bulgogi and garlic miso meats were the best imo, I enjoyed the tonkatsu broth for my hot pot. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to come back! read more

I'm still sitting here and had to stop and write this before I forgot. The meat is tough and hard to chew. Which is crazy seeing it's been marinating. It lacks flavor. The broth for the hot pot broth lacks so much flavor you should just bring a ramen seasoning pack from home. I probably would have never tried this place had my son not wanted to try it. The service was good that's about it. read more

Service was awesome, helped explain how to order and gave good suggestions. Food was really good, was my first time and will go back. Weekends are all day dinner which costs more but that's typical. Got to try several items and loved it all. Used healthy herbs base for the jpot and that soup was amazing and I am not a big soup fan but always willing to try something new. Are 3/4 of the pot of soup. I so wanted more but I was stuffed. I highly recommend this place and my waitress Fenny was very sweet and attentive without feeling like she was pestering the whole meal and made sure all was going well throughout the meal and ready to bring me more. So try something different. Pick your meats and visit the sauce bar and get going. Let you soup cook while you go visit the appetizer bar. There is a desert cooler but I was way too stuffed to even think about it lol. Very nicely decorated and quiet and it was a very enjoyable dinner. read more
