Pretty decent Korean cuisine with limited selections. I ordered Beef Bulgogi in a stone pot for dinner. It also came with two choices of Banchan and soy bean paste soup. The Banchan ( marinated cucumber and Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin). The meal was well-prepared and delicious. Just wish they have more selections, such as Kalbi. The soup is similar to miso soup but with a kick. Love it! Need more Banchan selections (at least 4) to earn another star. read more

Thanks, Yelp! I found this amazing spot by searching for Korean food in my area and ....voila!! Right near my hotel. I arrived early....just before 5pm on a weekday and had the place to myself for a little while. It's super clean with wonderful service, and there's k-pop playing on a big screen TV. What else could you want? How about absolutely outstanding food? Yes! I was hangry so I ordered a kimchi pancake and an order of bibimbap (no meat) with extra hot sauce. Before all that arrived, I was surprised and delighted by a perfect salad with amazing dressing that I'd like to bathe in and small cup of friggin' delicious pumpkin soup. My kimchi pancake was the spicy, carb-laden appetizer that I needed with a plentiful side of chili sauce. Then, my sizzling bibimbap arrived and I was thrilled to find purple rice under the fresh, assorted vegetables and fried egg. A side of kimchi and fish cakes accompanied my bibimbap. My iced ginger tea was sweet and a perfect complement to the rest of the meal. I almost polished off everything....loved that purple rice that got nice and crispy in that hot pot. Gochunjang tasted homemade...thick, spicy, savory and slightly sweet. The menu isn't extensive or overwhelming....it's just right. There's a nice selection of Makgeolli, so I got a bottle to take home with me for the weekend. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I'm sorry...it just wasn't good. Maybe I'm spoiled by the fact that I grew up in NYC and ate frequently in K-town. The kimchee jee gae and dolsot bi bim bop were overly salty and the veggies seemed not really fresh. Also the side dishes are limited and almost never change I feel like they were better when they first opened but now it's just really mediocre....go to Westchester or Jersey for the real thing. read more

Great food great service. I love this place! The ambience is cozy and welcoming. Service is very fast too. And friendly!

Delicous, real authentic Korean food. The menu is not too long, but everything on our first visit was delicious -- bibimbap, Dakgalbi (spicy chicken), and the ginger honey tea. Yum! The service was warm and friendly too. Simple decor, to either dine in or take away. We will be back, when we are in Poughkeepsie again! read more

We have been here before for the Korean barbecue, which was really good. This time we came for the hot pot, which I thought was even better. A lot to choose from for the broth base. Just note when the menu says spicy, they are not lying. A lot to choose from to cook in your broth base. And don't forget they have a little buffet area to the side where you can get some appetizers or desserts, if you have enough room in your stomach. read more

Korean crave all the way in Poughkeepsie. Nice atmosphere with K-pop playing! This was a vibe! Seated and proceeded to order. Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbap, Kim Chee pancake, and pork cutlet. Served with a pumpkin soup, Kim Chee and Korean potato salad. No Banchan which was disappointing, Good came out fairly quickly and everything g was very tasty. Bibimbap was served with like a purple rice, almost like a seven grain rice. It was delicious! Cutlet tender and nicely breaded. Kim Chee pancake was crispy and a nice portion. Service attentive, lots of parking in front. Sorry forgot pics ‍ read more

The food was amazing, the veggies were fresh and the meat was tender. The service was fantastic and one of the best I've had In the area. The ambiance was great and I appreciated the music in the background. The bathrooms were clean. Overall an amazing experience. read more

This was our first experience with real Korean food up here. We were regulars in Little Korea on 32nd St. in Manhattan; when we lived in the City. Our friends raved about it. Who also are very familiar with Korean cuisine. So the four of us went for dinner tonight. The staff is masked correctly and they wipe down the tables between patrons. We arrived about 5:40 pm. We knew what we wanted and let the staff at the counter know what we wanted as appetizers and Main courses and a bottle of soju. That's how they do it. They give you a menu, you go to the counter, give your choices to them, then wait at your table. The appetizers came out fairly fast. Excellent, scallion pancake and spicy chicken bites. There was quite a gap between when we finished the appetizers, but we didn't really care. We were too busy talking. Then the kitchen started to get backed up on orders. It was busy. Finally a waiter apologetically explained there was a back up of orders. MBD we were not on the clock. The mains arrived with the three sides - ban chan, I guess. Around 6:45 pm. We all had something different. The aromas were mouth watering, the presentation eye catching. We were enjoying our meal and almost finished. It was then when a young man who served the tables; asked us to hurry up! As they needed our table, others were waiting. It wasn't 7:30 yet. Turning tables is usually reserved for diners and greasy spoons. This place doesn't look like one. After taking care of the bill; we noticed they forgot our salads and pumpkin soups; part of the meal. See menu photos. It was mentioned to them. They were apologetic, but if they had delivered the missing parts of the meal it would have taken us longer to finish our meal! G-d forbid!!! It was rude enough to ask us hurry up! We didn't screw up, they did. Solution: Reservations, a few more tables, an efficient kitchen, open than than weekends for several hours. I may be back. Or go to H-Mart on Central Ave in Hartsdale or Yonkers. Never had a problem there. read more

This has been a regular spot for us for two years. Anytime we were craving Dolsot Bimbimbap, we'd stop by. Over the last five visits, the quality seems to have sharply dropped off. This is as they have added Udon and Tonkatsu to the menu (which is an odd choice). Every appetizer we've had in that time period was just meh. The Haemul Pajeon featured only a few pieces of seafood and a lot of oil. The Dak Gang Jueng was not crispy and served covered in the same chili sauce you get with the BimBimbap. And you can just skip all the dumplings. The Dolsot is still good. But this place has gone from a reliable regular to only worth stopping because it's convenient. read more

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful friendly service. We came here based on the reviews I read on Yelp and they really exceeded expectations. This really was one of the best Korean meals I have ever had. I have had many Korean meals in New York City and in Central America dining with various Korean suppliers that I did business with and this meal was at least as good and probably better than any of those meals. We had the Dakgangjung (fried boneless chicken) and the Tteokbokki (rice cake, seafoodwrap and pork dumpling) starter. For the main course I had the Soondubu JJigae. Everything was outstanding. If I lived in the area I would most definitely be a regular. I would definitely reccommend KorPot if your anywhere near this area. read more

Good food!! Portions could be better lol especially for the sides. Small restaurant and parking is annoying, but I do enjoy coming to this place for authentic Korean food they switch up their specials too! read more

I was so impressed with this place! Good Korean food is hard to come by especially in the area. Its worth a visit if you love some satisfying, comforting dishes that come to you piping hot. They also have a great selection of Korean alcohol. You'll be met with a friendly staff and fun posters decorating the walls. read more

Would recommend this highly! This place is great for Korean food and it taste amazing! Right on route 9, this small restaurant has a decent amount of seating and a very friendly ambiance. You are pretty much able to pick your own seating and you would place your order at the front counter as well as pay there. I was craving cold noodles and was so happy to see that they had them on the menu. This dish is refreshing on a hot summer day and the hot mustard and vinegar came with the dish as well. One thing I do wish I got was a pair of scissors to cut the noodles apart. The servers were friendly and attentive! Checking up every so often if I needed anything, made the place feel more connected to their customer base. Highly recommend to visit if you are in the mood for Korean food. read more

The food is very good and tastes authentic. You have to walk up and order your food and then the food is brought to your table. The only thing I really did not enjoy was the honey ginger tea, as it tasted syrupy and too sweet. The pancakes were recommended by the staff and they were so tasty! There is not much room to wait as a table opens up and they would probably benefit from a larger waiting section with more seating. I plan to return and would recommend! read more

I've been thinking about trying this place for a while and finally called in an order. There's no online ordering yet but calling in was easy enough. I definitely hope they start taking online orders soon though. When I got there, the food took a bit longer than quoted but the indoor dining wasn't crowded so I didn't mind standing inside to wait. It was really clean and had nice vibes. I would consider eating there next time. When my food was finally finished and they were packing my bag, I felt like they kept putting in more and more food! You receive so many sides that I don't know how you could possibly finish your meal hungry, First off, the So Tteok-So Tteok was so tasty! I wasn't sure what to expect but yum! They were little skewers with chewy rice cakes and sausages in a chili sauce. I'll definitely get those again! For the meal, I ordered Dak Galbi which was a spicy marinated chicken. So tasty! You get salad, purple rice, pumpkin soup and other sides to go along with it. There was so much food that I had left overs. I was really pleased and impressed with my experience. I'm already thinking about my next visit. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in the entire Poughkeepsie area. In the five+ years I've lived here, I've never loved an establishment as much as I do for KorPot. It got my through the pandemic as I was getting takeout orders basically every week. My go-tos are the Jeyuk Bokkeum, Dolsot Bibimbap, spicy fried chicken appetizer, and the rice punch. The atmosphere is incredibly charming, spacious, and the food is always hot, fresh, and yummy AF. The pumpkin soup will give you life as you sip on it. If you've never been, are looking for something new, have never tried Korean food, or are just passing through the area: you MUST go. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, and whenever I'm there now she knows my name and greets me joyfully. I am moving out of the area, and this is definitely the restaurant I will miss the most, for countless reasons. I love you KorPot ~Jerry PS. if you see a bag of honey chips by the counter, get them to go when you're done. you're welcome read more

I live in Manhattan and love going to Korean restaurants there, but I will travel to Poughkeepsie to have the food at KORPOT because it is the best!!! They put so much time and care into making each ingredient in their dishes. Their menu is simple but everything on it is so good. When you order an entree, it also comes with really cute and delicious side dishes. Most Korean places bring the main dish and side dishes at the same time, but this place brings the side dishes first so it feels like a multiple course meal. Very creative, aesthetic, and most of all delicious!!! read more

Since we were stationed overseas, I always look for a Korean restaurant when we travel because there are none in our town. This place has the best Korean food we have had in America! The only thing it's missing is some spicy marinated cucumbers but that doesn't impact my rating. I'd go here several times a week if we lived in this area! read more

There were no real options for Korean cuisine in the Poughkeepsie area until KorPot came along. KorPot is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood as it provides really high-quality and authentic Korean flavors to the table. There are no dine-in options yet but takeout is a perfect way to enjoy this delicious food in the comfort of your own home. My favorites were the flavorful galbi, spicy pork, and bulgogi. Also, don't miss the tofu soup which is the perfect way to warm up the soul. The food is nicely packaged and includes all the great side dishes. Be prepared to wait a bit longer for the food to be ready as they cook the dishes to order and with extra love. I'll definitely be returning to try out the other dishes on the menu! read more

I've driven past this place multiple times, in anticipation of it opening up! There aren't many Korean places nearby so having one so close will finally allow me to have my Korean cravings satisfied. We ordered the Bulgogi & Dak Galbi Lunch special as well as the Seafood Pancake. Our lunches came with a side salad, fried shishito pepper, pickled radish, kimchi & fish cake banchan. Instead of white rice, it comes with Korean Purple Rice. The Bulgogi is savory & flavorful, while the Dak Galbi is spicy & the chicken is tender. The portion size is great as well. They give plenty of chicken & beef; I had enough to have some leftovers. I will definitely be back to try the other things on the menu like the desserts. If you're looking to try something new or just trying to satisfy your Korean Food Cravings, this is the perfect spot! read more

My wife and I went there recently to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The minute we stepped into the place my nose was assaulted by what I can only describe as a dirty cleaning rag smell. We ordered two sodas and the waitress (who was very friendly) brought us two glasses with ice with the soda can bottoms resting on top of the ice. Needless to say, we used our straws to drink straight out of the can. The food wasn't very good, the purple rice was bland, and the Bulgari I ordered was saturated with to much salt. I took a few bits of it and I was done. I had to go home and eat frozen pizza rolls for dinner because of how bad the food was. What really irks me is that I could have gone to Ginger (Chinese food) next door and got better tasting food (similar stir fry as well) for less than half the price. read more

I didn't have time to sit in so I ordered take out and the food was still SO AMAZING! I had the pleasure of having the Bibimbap, the dumplings and the Korean fried chicken.

The food portion was a good size, and the plates were colorful with a mixture of Vegetables, meat, and pickled items. The food left my palate wanting more! read more

The food here was so delicious! I had never been to a Korean restaurant before and this was a great experience. The staff were all very kind and helpful. My party tried a variety of different foods to all share and were blown away by the tastiness. The location is a little awkward off of 9, but worth the hard angles to get in the parking lot. The restaurant is simply decorated and the music was a little loud, but we would definitely come back again!! Great time and great food! read more

Truly exceptional restaurant in the area. On par with the level of most Michelin Bib Gourmand (great value) restaurants I've been to. Highly recommended! Multiple Visits, 2020-2022: The food quality is overall exceptional for the price. Flavors, freshness, and consistency are all very good. Presentation is elevated, and the menu is short but well thought-out. You could put this restaurant in Manhattan and it would still be a cut above most others, and would certainly be very popular. Some of our favorites include: Dak Gang Jueng (Korean Fried Chicken): 5/5 Boneless, extremely juicy & tender insides with crispy, spicy & sweet outsides. Some of the best Korean fried chicken we've ever had. Kkoma Gimbap (Rice & Bulgogi Beef Seaweed Roll): 4.5/5 Four small seaweed rolls with very flavorful bulgogi beef & rice. Soondubu Jigae (Soft Tofu Stew, Seafood): 5/5 Excellent Korean tofu stew, can go against the best in NYC. Very spicy! read more

Not authentic, I also got very sick from one of the meats. Will not return. Sorry no photos to share.

Seriously the best Korean food I've had in years & I lived in NYC for 15 years. 5 stars hands down on food, service and ambiance!

My husband and I were very happy to finally get a chance to stop into this establishment to try their authentic Korean cuisine. It is definitely slim pickings when it comes to finding a restaurant that offers Korean flavors in the local area but we were both quite pleased with KorPot. There are limited food items and limited business hours (Friday through Sunday) but what they have works well. In comparison to other restaurants that have a million items on their menu, their quality doesn't compare. In regards to KorPot, they have a limited selection of dishes but they seem to have been well thought out and perfected. Every item we ordered was fresh and the spice levels were on pointe. My husband was a huge fan of their Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) dish. I forgot the name of the actual dish but it had the tteokbokki, dumplings, fried seaweed rollup filled with vermicelli noodles, and a battered hard boiled egg. We shared that as an appetizer because it had a nice variety of items in it. Both my husband enjoyed our own dolsot bimimbap. I absolutely love these! In my opinion its like a Korean version of a cobb salad but with hot crispy rice, marinated beef, and gochujang paste (spicy) in a hot stone pot. You put in the desired amount of the gochujang paste and mix all of the ingredients around. Because its served in a seriously hot stone pot (BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF), the food stays super hot all throughout the duration of your meal and the rice gets crispy. I loved the display of different fresh ingredients before I mixed it. It was esthetically pleasing as well as a huge wave of deliciousness. I would love to visit this restaurant again soon. I recommend going as early as you can as it was quite packed on the Friday lunchtime we went. In addition, the staff was friendly and attentive. You are seated, given menus, but then you have to go up to the counter area to put your order in. The prices were not exactly cheap but its priced accordingly for that type of cuisine. I would highly recommend this place for a casual date night or luncheon with coworkers or friends. read more
