    False advertising. For the 3 days before/after, it's 50% off, not free.
    Sozon K.

    False advertising. Nowhere does it say that "free" only applies to the actual day of your birthday, and that for the 3 days before/after, it's 50% off. They could've chosen to put it anywhere in this flyer, even the fine print, but chose not to, despite the fact that it's "always been policy". It should've been policy to honor the words that were written on the website. The aiyu jelly and potato salad were good. The self ordering from the tablet was cool, and the food came out pretty fast. However, meats were cut too thick. No standard brisket for lunch bbq. Soup and resulting meat from it were flavorless, and according to the other three people that all got the KPot Special flavored soup, it was very oily. Clams were full of sand.

    Well sauced and not overly so. Really delicious selections

    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.

    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!

    The soups, the meat, veggies

    Very very good food :D Workers were nice, service was good :) Price high but I get it and is very worth it Would come again to Korean BBQ and if I could I would give it 6 stars

    Excellent sized crab legs

    Food was amazing, the wife was very happy with the hot pot spicy base and sat down for 2 hrs eating crab and a variety of meat. My buddy that came with us ate lamb, beef, wagyu etc. They had these amazing coffee sponge cakes. All in all for 32 bucks for all you can eat, we can all safely say we left satisfied and full. The waitress was beyond nice and gave us space to eat and laugh and enjoy while also keeping an eye on our drinks and steady refills. The ambiance was amazing and all in all not too loud but also not too quiet. Great music as well!

    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.

    Okay so we are so back. If it wasn't obvious enough, I come here too often and just haven't updated…read moremy review. This place continues to be my family's top hot pot spot, even after going to many locations in the greater Houston area simply due to the soup bases being so incredibly strong and the selection of ingredients always being top notch. The only things I have food-wise about this place are the following: 1. I think the meat selection is often inconsistent. Sometimes I will order the number 3 and 4 and it'll be really good, and other times it will be hard to eat. 2. I think that the noodle selection is missing like a handmade and hand pulled noodle. The closest thing currently is the lo mein, which I really like, but I'm still wanting more options. 3. Often, the sauce stations will have some empty bottles on the side, which is often inconvenient since I tend to add most if not all to my sauce. Other than that, the service this time was much better and much more on top of it. I will most definitely head back here again and again. Like I said in the beginning, WE ARE SO BACK!

I did try all of the meats and it was a lot of food but every cut was great! Nice open restaurant with plenty of seating and arranged so you feel as if you have your own space. The only reason I dropped it by a star was that there was only one person waiting on a large portion of the guests. She really tried hard and this is not a knock on her. But even though it was a slow night she struggled to keep up at times. I would have given it 4.5 if I had the choice.

    I've been coming here with family for years and even remember when this location first opened (see…read moreoriginal review from 2009). 888 Bistro has had its fair share of ups and downs and ownership changes over the years, but this was our first time back in about 2 years, so I was curious to see if anything's changed since our previous experience was not so great. We came on a Thursday night and there were only a few other cars in the parking lot. Dumpling World across the street had a fuller lot, so we were about to reconsider our choice, but decided to follow through with our original choice. Upon walking in around 7pm, there were a few other tables dining in. In case you didn't know, there are two menus here: an Americanized menu and a Chinese menu. Be sure to ask for both so that you get all the choices to select from! We ordered, the Honey Black Pepper Steak, Triple Delight Pan Fried Asian Noodles, Pork and Bamboo Shoots, and Sizzling Black Pepper Beef. The former two are on the Americanized menu and the latter two are on the Chinese menu. The Honey Black Pepper Steak has been my favorite dish here - it's deep fried pieces of beef coated in a black pepper sauce with a touch of sweetness...so good! The Pan Fried Noodles were crispy, but meat/vegetable to noodle ratio was a little off, as they could've put a good amount more of beef/chicken/shrimp on there. The Pork and Bamboo Shots and Sizzling Beef were both very tasty and hadn't changed from how I remember them. Our server was someone we recognized as having worked here for years. Unfortunately I cannot remember her name, but she's an expert here and knows the menu by heart. She constantly came around to check on us, and we were warmly taken care of. One thing I noticed was how adamant the staff was about watching your step as you get into and out of the booths. There are even signs on the tables and out the exit doors warning you to watch your step. Something must have happened here recently that caused them to take extra precautions (and make it known). This is a good local spot in Clear Lake that my family and I will continue to hit up for an easy dinner since there are not many Asian options in the area. The locations in Pearland and near Gulfgate are also worth trying (just know that some menu items may differ).

    Our go to Chinese food in the area. It just does the job every time. Always ready in 15-20 minutes…read more Nothing is bad here.

    My feelings about this place are mixed. While the service here, based on my two to-go orders has…read morebeen spectacular, the food runs the ratings gamut. The (pork) egg rolls here taste like they were rolled in-house, which is a huge deal for me, but they are small. I prefer egg rolls that are plump and stuffed to the gills. The boiled dumplings here are a no-go. They tasted more like an afterthought, and that could be because we have so many places around here that specialize in dumplings. And the crispy pork with garlic flavor, while decent, was paper thin. Indeed it was crispy, and it had garlic flavor. But the pork was barely there. On the flip side, the crispy eggplant is divine. We've ordered it twice, and both times we have been wowed over the consistency and garlicky flavor of the sauce. The hot & sour soup here is also good, though (as I usually do), I added chile oil. Finally, though this place boasts that it specializes in Sichuan, they also do a pretty good job with Shanghai soup dumplings. Further -- and I've eaten soup dumplings at dozens of spots between Houston and NYC -- Spicy Banda is the ONLY joint that has warned me that the soup dumplings aren't as good when they're ordered to-go. That's integrity, and it is much appreciated. As an aside, I knew what to expect with a to-go order of soup dumplings, and they tasted just fine.

We walked in a more laid back time with not many people and seated ourselves. There were a few items on the menu I had to mentally translate since I'm familiar with the names of the dishes when I eat in Chinatown-Little Saigon. I decided to go with the Vietnamese coffee and rock and roll beef also known as Vietnamese shaking beef. I did make an adjustment and did fried rice and an egg on top. The Vietnamese coffee is solid. It has that flavor and concentration you expect especially phin filter with condensed milk. The rock and roll beef is a good choice too. The steak cubes are tender and has the nice accompaniment of onions, tomatoes and cucumber. The sauce packed that nice garlic punch which the steak absorb. The fried rice is a nice upgrade from regular white rice but both would be good choices. Overall it was a nice visit to Pho Hoang. It was very straightforward and our server was nice too. No complaints. From my personal experience of drinking Vietnamese coffee for years, I think my tolerance is much stronger to it and found this one today as concentrated but not as bold like I am used too. But this is still very good. There are some staple dishes offered and seen also include a fried fish platter and a few other additions. No desserts on the menu and strictly just classic Vietnamese dishes.

The other saving grace was the broth of the beef pho. It was just right...perfect flavoring. Unfortunately, the flank steak was obviously old and dried out and contained unappetizing pieces of gristle and fat. The spring rolls were almost inedible, due to shrimps that were well past their freshness and a wrap that just fell apart. The grilled pork bahn me was the worst. It was not served on the traditional French roll but a bolillo that was just grainy and flavorless. I regret having to report that, after decades of enjoying Vietnamese cuisine, this experience was, well, the most unfortunate of all.
