    Well sauced and not overly so. Really delicious selections
    Trung N.

    Honestly a really great experience! I'm not entirely sure when this place opened up down here but its really clean. The entrance lights are a really cool touch despite how old the building is. My friend and I got seated immediately (right before dinner rush) and while we were allocated a new waiter to Kpot, a more experienced waiter came and made sure we were going to be well taken care of. Shout out to... man i shoulda asked how to spell her name but... it's pronounced "Ee-vian" I'll have to revisit and get her name right for justice The only item on the menu tonight that was missing were the scallops which was a bummer considering its at the beginning of dinner time. For how quickly busy it became, everything came out in super fast. There were staff near the sauce bar keeping it clean and organized, and the new waiter kept our grill new and replaced it frequently. One qualm is the sauce bar is quite wide to reach the back side to get stuff so i find my face literally up to the glass shield. Not necessarily enough to touch it but uncomfortably in my face. Tbh I was so hungry I forgot to take more pictures than just my food so I'ma have to redeem myself in the near future :P

    Cousins, look at here if you want to eat good and cook your own food, you can still go to KPot. They'll have all the trimmings you need to make it just how you like it. Tonight was a celebration for my Sugar Bear. He is turning 50. we celebrated all weekend long and after we rested all day, we came here for dinner with the girls. We had a great time discovering and experiencing food that we've never eaten before such as snails, something that looks like a scallop, but it's not, I was digging in on the ribeye and the crab legs. The miso soup broth was amazing and I love that they kept bringing out the food once we requested it on the iPad. The bill was about $35 per person. The only thing I would add is the ability to have your own table space for all the extra dishes that you are not using once you start cooking the meats and proteins. We had a great time and there's been a running joke even though it's his birthday to have the restaurant sing to him. He just giggles like a little kid . Thank you and Paul our waitress for taking the time to make my bay feel so special.

    UPDATE: Running it back with a pretty laid back review, this place is still pretty good. Only complaint this time is that sometimes the service seemed too fast (as in getting 20 items at once) and too slow at other points in the meal (waiting 10 minutes for a grill change) but it didn't annoy us too much. Other than that, I absolutely adore the amount of different options there are for both the hotpot and Korean BBQ. As someone who primarily orders beef only for my meat, I'm so thrilled every time I open the menu to see like 20 beef options total. I'd personally like to see more noodle and soup base options for the hotpot specifically, as I think that part of the restaurant experience is slightly weaker than the KBBQ part, but these are all just minor gripes. Place is still amazing and I hope it stays that way.

    Our server Annie!

    This is the 2nd time we've been back and omg, it taste much better than the first. The first time we came was during opening month and I can tell that they've worked out a lot of their kinks here and there. The meat quality and taste are much better. Hotpot was delicious! I loved all of my experience today. The ambiance was on point as always too! Oh BY THE WAY, their boba is delicious and tapioca is the perfect softness! Will definitely be back! Yall should request Annie as a server too, because she was exceptional today!

    Annyeong (Korean for hello)! The Clear Lake/NASA area has been once again blessed with another new eatery, and it's the second Korean BBQ joint to open in a two-year span. As a few of you Yelpers know, I began 2024 in the hospital and couldn't eat out as much as I tried to figure my new diet out. KPOT threw open its doors while I battled for my life so it ended up on the list of places I wanted to try as soon as I got better. Summer is the season of the grill, but why sweat it out when there's a restaurant like this? KPOT's main draw is that diners can choose to have the traditional BBQ, hot pot, or both. For our inaugural visit, my younger brother and I decided on the BBQ. It was quite busy on the afternoon of the last day of June, but we were quickly seated and Alan took care of us right away. And so ensued our dinner. We stocked up on mostly bolgogi and galbi, which were complemented by generous helpings of banchan, cabbage, and rice. Unlike other Korean places, KPOT allows customers to select their own banchan and sauces from a small buffet setup in the back. What's my verdict? A target unlocked. No more making an hours-long trek to Spring Branch for real. Rest assured KPOT deserves another visit from me.

    If you want some good hotpot close to home. Try this place it is buffet style and one price eat till you drop and no take home doggie bags. Delicious you have to try the pot special broth if you don't do pork! Service was great! They were tentative and always aware of the table. It was not super busy when I went through. The ambiance definitely gives buffet renovations. It is nothing to crazy just a clean slate style for easy cleanup. There is a K-pop area so you have been warned.

Moist brisket - if that was moist brisket than what is normal brisket? It was dry and bland Regular sausage - probably the only decent thing Prime rib - with no au jus dip? Blasphemy!

Even though I've never been the biggest fan of Texas BBQ, Rudy's still hits where it needs to in terms of its quality in meat and selection. I feel as though their brisket is the only thing that lacks sometimes whenever I go, as the quality varies widely depending on how fresh you can get it, leading to having some meals having a perfectly juicy cut of meat and others having a dry, almost grainy bite. Most recently, I went here with some friends and got their pulled pork sandwich. Though the sandwich is pretty simple in hindsight, the toppings you can get in-restaurant combined with their signature BBQ sauce makes the meal truly great. Also had their cream corn, which was great and perfectly sweet as usual. Nothing to note on service, everything went off without a hitch or complaint. Ambiance is really inviting and homey despite being very big in size. Gives off "summer camp" lunch dining hall kind of vibe. Overall a great place with a lot of great designs. Ignoring my feelings about Texas BBQ in general, Rudy's is a great place to go stop by for Texas BBQ (exceptional if you get your brisket at the right time).

Doesn't have that old oily flavor that I get from most places. The pork is well seasoned and has a nice hint of smoke flavored that doesn't overwhelms the pork taste itself. Smoked pork belly- OMG these are sweet, soft and tender. The honey glaze isn't too hard to where it sticks on your teeth but just right where it melts in your mouth. The belly wasn't fatty and greasy (thank goodness) this is a must have. Pork ribs combo with chicken- chicken was cooked well but kind of bland. All the seasoning and flavor was on the skin of the chicken. The smoked pork was wonderful the flavor was actually in the ribs and really juicy. I got it with the green beans and carrots and they are great. I like how the carrots are cooked well enough where it's not mushy but has some firmness and the beans also has a nice flavor with an oil that I can't get my tongue wrapped around but it's really good. Now to my server Kyaana- she was FANTASTIC very friendly and polite. Checked up on us numerous times which I really appreciated. Best part, we said that we would share the pork Combo we ordered and she actually had it separated on 2 plates so we both won't have to be sharing from one. That's great anticipation of someone's needs (5 stars). I did come here at an earlier date and had another server and I feel bad I forgot to check-in because that gentleman was nice also. The meals on that day was: Prime burger- This was Wonderfully, juicy, and tasty. The meat was cooked to medium as requested and the fries were awesome as well. Pork ribs combo with brisket- ribs fantastic and juicy, smoke flavor is a hit. The briskets tasted well and wasn't as dry as they looked but it was a really small portion for the amount you pay for it. The Mac and cheese was really creamy and nice. The macaroni wasn't over cooked and soggy and the cheese wasn't too much where it was running. The mashed potatoes was a NO NO it was grainy which tells me it was boxed and not real mashed but still wasn't creamy. It felt like sandish or like grits. Other than that this is a wonderful spot and will be trying the brunch soon.
