Yay K Pot is finally open! It is in the same plaza as Mensho Ramen and Xin Fu Tang. I go to the Foundry Yoga next to it and have been patiently waiting for K Pot to open since last year! I am familiar with K Pot I tried it at the Orlando location before. It is a AYCE Korean BBQ and Shabu place. Our server was attentive and sweet! The restaurant is huge, plenty of seating and there was a buffet and sauce bar session for your dipping sauces, different types of Kimchi, appetizers and desserts. For dinner, it was $32 person for one option and only $5 extra to have both Shabu and KBBQ. Of course we had to try both! Ok let's talk about the Shabu part first. I am a huge hot pot fan! I would say this is now the best Shabu place in Phoenix! We lacked a great hot pot place before in my opinion. K Pot offers great option of broths. I tried the Szechuan Spicy broth. It was very flavorful. The meat quality was good. It has great variety of meat, and veggies selection! I love my Asian veggies like Tong Ho and Watercress for hot pot. The lamb and beef belly were delish! They even offer snow crab legs and oysters! Snow crab legs were super sweet and oysters were fresh too! I worked hard for the crab legs but it was worth it! For the KBBQ, it was ok.. not great. The Galbi marinate was too sweet for my liking and it did not have the authentic Korean taste. $5 extra to have both is a good deal. But for me I think I will just come back for hot pot. I was so busy and overwhelmed with hot pot, cracking my crab legs and grilling Kbbq lol read more

Visited on a Thursday at lunchtime for KBBQ only. The restaurant is very clean and spacious inside, which made for a comfortable dining experience. The lunch menu is a bit limited, but still offers some solid options. The meat quality was good -- I just wish they included galbi on the lunch menu as well. Our favorite was the Kpot pork belly. We grilled it until it was nice and crispy -- it had a delicious sweet flavor that really stood out. There's a sauce bar and an appetizer bar with plenty of choices. The chicken wings were a standout -- crispy and flavorful. Unfortunately, the fries were cold, even though we arrived right when they opened. I ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri, but it was a bit too sour for my taste, so I wouldn't recommend that one. However, the strawberry lemonade was fantastic -- I highly recommend it. Service was outstanding. Our server, Kris, and their partner, Priscilla, were both amazing -- super attentive and proactive. They even changed the grill at just the right times without us having to ask. Five stars for them alone! They're still in the soft opening phase, but I'll definitely be back after the grand opening and hope everything stays just as good -- or even better! read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Barbeque Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I like everything about this place. Food was great. Service was on point but i gave them 4 stars because the music is always super loud in there and makes me feel overwhelmed. read more

Excellent variety. The expansive selection of soup bases for the hot pot really complimented the Korean bbq (I highly recommend the Szechuan hot pepper soup base). read more

The wait was almost an hour on a Friday night, but definitely worth it! Once seated, it took a while until our server could get to us and explain how to order. But once he finally got to us, it was fine. For the hotpot broth, his suggestion was . Definitely get the gold chicken! The meats were great, don't forget to use the hotpot meats for the grill as well. read more

Better than the San Jose branch. More sauce choices and hot food. Just remember that they also have fruits for desert, not just ice cream read more

Want some delicious soup or Korean bbq, then look no further than KPOT. This place is modern, inviting, huge, has great service, and good food and is a destination! It's all you can eat, so bring your appetite! From there sauce bar where you can make custom dipping sauces, appetizers both hot and cold, and then obviously the hot pots and barbecue. Using a tablet, you just order what you want for your hot pot or your barbecue. Then you cook and eat your way! The bulgogi short ribs, the spicy pork and the garlic shrimp for the barbecue were my highlights. I enjoyed the mushroom soup which I added all kinds of vegetables and dumplings etc to make it mine and to make it delicious! Services spot on and make sure your grill is always ready and clean, your drinks are full, and you have all the items you're ordering. They also have a full bar and dessert! read more

AMAZING!!! Found KPot under construction, a while back, upon visiting one of the best Japanese ramen joints in the Valley. Having experienced both Shabu Shabu and Korean BBQ, I was excited to try KPot. I was not disappointed. Both Shabu Shabu and Korean BBQ (grill your own protein) is available and both are awesome. And, you can combine both experiences at KPot. For the Shabu Shabu, you choose the broth for your hot pot (each person, up to 4, can order their own broth as the table has 4 convection stovetops available) and then you can add any and all protein that is on the menu. Flip the menu over to the BBQ menu and you can choose a multitude of proteins with any seasoning listed. Both experiences can be ordered with a variety of vegetables, from squash, mushrooms to bok choy. The sauce bar is very well stocked and you can either choose an already made sauce, or develop / experiment with your own concoction. Included in buffet style bars is all the Korean side dishes you could want (Kim Chee, pickled radishes, and squid salad). Finally, KPot's dessert bar is substantial, but alas, ordering the Shabu Shabu and Korean BBQ for lunch was an enormous amount of food. So more on the desserts on our next visit. KPot also offers a great variety for adult beverages, including soju, sake, mixed drinks, and a good selection of beers both Asian and domestic. The restaurant is very visually appealing, and laid out very well. Lots of neon and very upbeat. (Pardon me for saying but I like the decorum, it has an 80's vibe, but I am a Gen X'er) And the music in the background was also to my taste too. Trinity was our server, she was very well attentive, and all the staff were helpful and communicative. But, a word of advice... Have a plan, KPot offers an all you can eat, but with a 2-hour time limit. So, if you never have had Shabu Shabu, do one or the other. KPot will be here for a long time. And, you will have plenty of time to enjoy both Shabu Shabu and the Korean BBQ experiences. read more

Food was good, service wasn't that good, we had birthday party, we told the server, and he didn't do anything for my sister, and server adding one extra person on my bills, I told him. He said he will double check, few mins later he came back and try to ask identity for my 10 year old niece, what d fu.... We not carry 10years old birth certificate with us, and we force to paid 18% tips for them, wouldn't be back, rather going to another one by leelee read more

Amazing quality meat and great service. Excellent choice of meat, veggies and sides. The sauce selection had may choices of sauce, garlic, onions. Highly recommend and cannot wait for SoCal location to open. read more

Not the. Best hotpot or service. The hotpot items come out in one plate so things get soggy even before they come out. We ordered one serving vs 4 and it looked like the same amount so I'm not sure how that works. They accidentally gave us Korean bbq pork belly which was wayyy too thick and when we asked our server for the hotpot one she seemed annoyed like it was our fault. They never refilled our broth and getting refills ok water or any food was slow. read more

Went here several months ago and had a nice time even though I wasn't feeling to good to begin with. I especially loved that there are fish options for ayce kbbq which I thought was on the rare side in AZ. Husband thought their steaks was above average quality compared to other ayce kbbq in AZ. Would definitely return! read more

KPOT is awesome! It's $31.99 for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ or Hotpot, and only $5 more to do both which is such a good deal. You get to pick your own broth, and if you want to try a different one, they'll even bring you a new one. They have a great selection of meats and sides. The chicken gyoza and popcorn chicken are both super good, and the eggrolls hit the spot too. There's also a bunch of sauces and sides like kimchi cabbage, cucumbers, and ginger. If you're doing hotpot, they have tons of options from veggies, seafood, noodles, you name it. Everything comes out fresh, and the staff is really nice and quick to help. And don't skip dessert! They have ice cream, mochi, and a few other little sweet treats that are the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, such a fun spot to go with friends or family. Come hungry because you'll definitely want to try a little bit of everything! read more

The food is good and the place is clean. I would recommend the beef bulgogi and sweet and sour radish. The service was fine. Jp

Visiting from San Diego and wanted to try this place out. Our server Jaslynn was absolutely amazing. Constantly checking on us and was very polite and help us when we needed help and always with a big smile.on her face. Will definitely be back when visiting. read more

Our server Trinity was super responsive and prompt! She was great. Food was fresh and came quickly.

This hot pot place was amazing! The service was super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Chanel was fantastic--so kind, attentive, and extremely helpful throughout our visit. I had the golden chicken soup base and I highly recommend it! I added some chili oil for a little extra spice, and it was perfect. The food was great, the music set the perfect mood, and the overall vibes were just right. I would definitely come back! read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Barbeque Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Trying this new place that just opened up about a month ago. It is a very large space with lots of seating. Simple decor and nice lighting. Upon entering I was immediately greeted by a nice hostess that offered to explain their dining options. I chose to only do the hot pot, you have the option to do a combo (Hot Pot & Korean BBQ) or just one or the other. Whatever your option, it comes with the sauce bar, bon chon bar & hot foods. Upon being seated, I was immediately greeted by waiter (Aryen Z) that took the time to explain things (ordering process via their tablets), answer all my questions and take my first order and drink order. He checked on me regularly and offered refills on my soup. The nice thing about this place they do not charge to change/try different soups that they offer. They have a good selection of meats, seafood, veggies & noodles that are a good quality. The only item I don't recommend is the shrimp dumpling/har gow. The dumpling wrap is way too thick to be a quality dumpling. I chose the Lamb & Pork belly for my meats, then I chose squid, scallops, muscles, lobster balls and various vegetables and my soup base was Japanese miso. I will definitely go back just to try the different soups. read more

KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Japanese miso soup base, lamb, squid, scallops & mussels. - Barbeque Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Great service and server great her name was mariana was excellent. This is third time I visited and it's always five stars.

We showed up at 9:10 PM and they turned us away and said that if we had shown up at 9:04pm we would have been able to eat. They close at 10 PM. We had friends in town from Alabama and we drove 50 minutes just to come and eat here. And they refused to allow us to eat. Extremely disappointed. read more

A ton of fun, very yum! Ate a ton and still left feeling great! Tony was our server and he was nice, helpful with breaking down the process without making you feel silly, and never made us feel rushed. The vibe was cool and seemed upscale and trendy but still was affordable. read more

Hiiiii Kaiiiii ! Our server was Kai & let me tell youuuu! Kai is AMAZINGGGG! Not only would I go back to eat the food here, but would come back for him to be our server again. Customer service is on point and you don't get that often out here nowadays. So thank you Kai for taking care of us. We're definitely coming back and would request you to be our server. Stay smiling & don't change who you are. Thank you, again. Food, you have an option to do KBBQ or Hotpot or both. They had a lot of options with broth, to the meat, to the vegetables. They even have a sauce bar along with some good fruits and desserts. The atmosphere was nice. The crew was very helpful and made sure we were also taken care of. Pride is very reasonable, you should definitely check it out and ask to sit in Kai's section. read more

We came here for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our party had 7 people, and they don't seat you until your entire group has arrived. First impressions: the restaurant is large and spacious, which was nice. Our group decided to try both Korean BBQ and Hot Pot. Our server was really friendly and gave us a helpful rundown on how to order -- everything is done through a tablet, which was convenient. We started by choosing our soup bases. A few of us went with the Tom Yum, but it ended up tasting pretty bland and not at all like what we expected. Thankfully, our server let us choose different soup bases, which we appreciated. The vegetables were fresh, but I wish there was a self-serve vegetable bar. Instead, we had to wait for everything to be brought out on one large shared plate. The meat was good, but not particularly memorable. Since it was our friend's birthday, the staff brought out a cute little bear mascot and sang Happy Birthday -- a fun and thoughtful touch. Overall, the food was decent. Next time, I think I'll just choose either Korean BBQ or Hot Pot. Trying to do both at once felt a little overwhelming and made it hard to really enjoy the meal. read more

Good food but very pricey, the customer service was great and we had a good time overall

I like Kpot food and atmosphere, but there is few things I dislike about this restaurant. 1. The pot is not inside the stove 2. The restrooms are not that clean When the server refills the hot broth I got burnt. I don't understand why they can't put the pot inside . read more

Stopped by for lunch after visiting the Arizona Museum of Natural History. We loved the spicy pork belly--slightly sweet and spicy, along with multiple orders of the beef belly. For the lunch menu, you're still getting a good selection of essential KBBQ meats. Our server, Kayla, was super sweet and accommodating. The food came out quickly, and grills were changed on time as well. And free Melona ice cream to top it all off??! I haven't reviewed a restaurant in a while but this was worth it! read more

Amazing food and service. More than I can eat. Very good prices and very sanitary. Ambience is awesome

Came here for the first time last night and will definitely be back! The food is great, like some of the best quality I've had for Korean places here in AZ. The service was great, our server Vincent was friendly and very knowledgeable with great recommendations. They also have lots of gluten free options and will be bringing my gluten free friends here. :) Really like the ambience and layout of the place too, very modern and the ventilation is great, not smoky at all! Can't wait to go back! read more

Bryan was great, The food is really good too. First Korean BBQ experience and i'll definitely be coming back. They mark what isn't Gluten free on the menu as well. read more

Went to try out kpot today and it lived up to the hype. First the service was fantastic. My waitress was welcoming, explained the process thoroughly and was checking in on me regularly. I had some questions about ingredients due to allergies and she went and got me an answer. You order all the meats on an ipad and then its brought to the table fairly quickly. Restaurant is clean with a very modern decor. Booths were spacious and comfortable The buffet lineup for food is small, but all good quality. The banchan and sauces can all be made there. I only did the kbbq and for an ayce i felt like the meats were high quality. Definitely the best ayce experience in phoenix so far. Will definitely be back! read more

I came here on Sunday for the first time with my boyfriend and The KBBQ was super good. The customer service was awesome. They sat us quickly. I did however, get food poisoning from the oysters. They don't come out on ice or chilled. They were served at room temp. So please make sure to make note of that. As I type this I'm actively going through it. I will be back because the meat selection and customer service made it enjoyable. read more

The food is amazing. I love the taste of literally everything. The soup broth are absolutely on point and overall this entire place is amazing. Definitely should try. read more

It is about time this place opened. My wife and I used to go here all the time in Chicago and were super excited to see one opening up in the valley. This is the best hot pot and Korean BBQ experience you can get in the valley. When going I suggest doing both to get the full experience. All the meat is very good. The broths for the hot pots are very flavorful. You can't go wrong with trying something new every time you go. The staff is nice and friendly. It's an around great family experience. read more

I love this concept that they had fused together essentially. They have tons of broth to choose from for hot pot along with so many options for grilling and hot pot as well. The service is amazing because I believe it's team service because everyone was helping us out, not just my server. The ambiance is very energetic but not blaring music loud which is nice for my liking. read more

Walking in, the hostess Tammy was very welcoming and had such a bubbly personality! The restaurant vibes is good for group of friend or a large party. They have so many meat options to choose from which is very good for someone who's picky like me lol. And our server Amaia was very sweet and always checked in on my table. Would absolutely come back for them! read more

This place is absolutely FIRE!!! They have the BEST broth flavors and the highest quality meats of all the hot pot/KBBQ places I have visited in AZ. I recently discovered this place a few months ago and I am here at least twice a week lol. This place is top tear. My fave broth flavor is Healthy Herb and if I'm looking for something super spicy I get the Spicy Szechwan. Customer service is ALWAYS AMAZING! Staff is super helpful and front staff is so friendly. Ambiance is so comfortable and fun. read more
