OMG... this is what KPot WISHES it was. First off, Li's Hot Pot & BBQ is HUGE. The second you walk…read morein, the place feels upscale, spacious, clean, and surprisingly peaceful. Even with how big and popular it is, the wait time was less than 5 minutes.
The menu is absolutely massive and the prices are honestly amazing for what you get. Around $30 for either hot pot or KBBQ, or $38 for BOTH?! That's actually insane value.
And it doesn't even start with the meats -- you first get access to a huge appetizer menu INCLUDED in the price. Firecracker shrimp, spring rolls, gyoza, wings, squid balls... and so much more. It already felt worth it before the BBQ even came out.
Now the KBBQ selection? RIDICULOUS. Of course they had the classics like steak, chicken, and bulgogi, but they also had chicken wings, lamb, scallops, blue crab, chicken gizzards, and so many premium meat options. What I loved most is that the meats were already cut and seasoned perfectly, so everything tasted flavorful right away.
The sauce and salad bar may not be the biggest, but the variety is crazy. Tons of sauces, pre-made combinations, and seasonings to customize everything exactly how you want it. Plus unlimited fried rice and white rice made fresh to order, which made a huge difference.
To top everything off, they had fresh fruit, amazing ice cream, premium drinks like boba tea and smoothies, AND a full bar.
Definitely one of the best AYCE hot pot/KBBQ spots I've been to in a long time. Will absolutely be returning soon.
