Finally made it back to Seoul Sizzle. The place was busy with online and takeout orders. So the…read moreservice was a bit slow. We had our usual favorites, bulgogi, bibimbap, and japchae. And our meal came with soup, miyeok guk (traditional Korean seaweed soup). I love this soup; it's usually served on birthdays to celebrate life, so you don't usually find this in other Korean restaurants. It's light and savory. The owner is really sweet, but I'm glad the restaurant is thriving from the last time I was here.

Americanized Korean place that mixes somewhat Westernized Korean food with slushies and ice cream…read more There's a good amount of seating (20-30 people), but it was completely empty during the length of our visit (early afternoon for lunch). The single hostess wasn't necessarily unpleasant but looked rather listless on her phone while we made our orders with her. I got the Jeyook Bokkeum (spicy pork) with purple rice. Can't really complain; it wasn't incredible, but it wasn't bad either. Banchan (side dishes) were decidedly average, however. We ordered the black sesame ice cream but halfway while eating it, we realized it wasn't actually black sesame (or at least didn't taste like it). Disappointing, but not enough to fully ruin the experience. Prices weren't great considering the quality of the food or location, but not prohibitive either. Considering the paucity of Asian food in Middletown, I'll give Seoul Sizzle a pass, but against greater competition, it probably wouldn't have lasted long in NYC.

Called for reservation but probably wasn't needed (July 3rd and weather issues in the area) Great…read moreservice. Greeted promptly when we arrived. Restaurant maybe 1/2 full. Couldn't decide so we ordered a few apps (KFC chicken, edamame and scallion pancake) all of which were delicious. Decided to get bao buns and fried rice. Note: ordered chicken and shrimp but should have specified we wanted one dish with both meats - instead we got 2 bowls - which just means more for lunch tomorrow! Staff stayed calm when the lights flickered a few times and just said "hopefully the chefs are almost done with your meals because we don't have a generator"). Had to dodge a few broken trees on 94 on the way home but all in all a great meal! Also it's BYOB but really didn't miss the wine - Yuzu ade was refreshing on this 90+ degree day.

Terrible service. My family had never been to a KPOT or anything like it. We explained that. The…read moreserver told us not to worry and he was there for us. Nope. He grew frustrated at our questions. Apparently we took too long on menu questions, we never got the cooking tutorial. Our grill was not even turned up, so our food took forever to cook but again - no one told us how to adjust it or anything more. Our hot plates were not on because the server said if the light was in that they were working. Nope. You had to adjust it. I had to ask three employees for forks and they all sent us to the fork station even though I continued to tell everyone that there were no forks at the station. One staff got annoyed that I asked them to bring me some when they were finally cleaned. The server also argued me over my first responder status. The same server that let our plates pile up and I had to chase down for a refill on a water. So on a table of four, we had plates piling up with soups on the hot plates and the griddle in the middle. Overall, the ambiance was amazing - the service sucked. The staff is not helpful. For the money you pay, you would expect something more than being ignored. It would be a beautiful experience if someone was delicate and kind to show us the ropes. Now we know, we would do it again. But not here.

Not like it's their fault we're big backs..just an observation lol. The sushi was fresh-ish, nothing offensive, but just not up to par with what we're used to at home. The tempura udon was unlike any udon we've ever had. The soup base was not the familiar cozy almost sweet flavor that I was craving, but very peppery and salty.

The environment is welcoming and comfortable which made it easy to sit back, talk for hours, and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. The service was attentive and kept everything moving smoothly so we could focus on the conversation and the food. Prime No.7 is more than just a place to eat.

Food - I ordered the braised ribs with fried rice. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and had the right amount of sauce. It was served with fried rice that was a good starch to go with the protein. 4/5 TL/DR - if you are also traveling back to NYC from Binghamton and your stomach is saying "feed me some ribs...".

When I go out and begin formulating reviews in my mind, service is always at the forefront. My…read moreopinions live and die by the staff, and it's with that in mind that I want to dedicate this review almost entirely to Kasey, who was our incredible server. From the moment we stepped inside Kpot, Kasey went above and beyond with service; she was so very kind and accommodating. Without prompting, she immediately created a space for me to keep my wheelchair safe and accessible without it being in the way at our table, which is always something I have to worry about myself when I go anywhere. I have dietary restrictions and she was very enthusiastic and willing to swap out the BBQ trays multiple times as needed. I never once felt like it was a bother. It was my loved one's birthday, and when we told Kasey, she completely understood the assignment. She made sure that we were having a wonderful time, was ninja-like in making sure our unused dishes were out of the way, she made wonderful, positive conversation that helped make our entire table feel welcomed + relaxed like we were old friends, and she had the most excellent timing with bringing out a surprise birthday treat at the end of our visit! I have never felt like a staff member at any place of business, no matter how wonderful they were otherwise, was as sincerely invested in making our experience unforgettable as Kasey was. at Kpot. Kpot is incredibly fortunate to have found such a warm, bright human being to work there. We went on a Saturday, and when any of us ever return in the future, we will absolutely be sure to come on Saturday again in hopes of having Kasey as our host again! The food itself was very good, and the value cannot be understated. It's a great bang-for-your-buck! Once you pay for the hotpot/bbq, you also have access to a variety of food by the sauce bar. (I specifically got some chicken wings and French fries and dipped them in the delicious chili sauce!) Every one at my table had very positive reviews of their food (which were, of course, only bolstered by their raving about Kasey! Seriously, I cannot overstate how this review is glowing because of her, haha! We all agreed that we will be coming back again, in a large part due to the service; KPot has found itself four loyal customers because of her. ) The food being brought to the table was also very timely. There were no delays and everything came right out, fresh from the kitchen. Absolutely nothing tasted bad or off. The atmosphere inside of the restaurant is pretty conducive to feeling social and open, yet perfectly private for your party. It feels like a really good spot to catch up with friends you haven't seen in a while, or to celebrate special occasions with a small group. I do also wanna mention how convenient it was to get food. They give you an iPad with names and pictures of all the food items. It is extremely easy and intuitive to use, and it's probably the best means of ordering food I've had at a buffet-style place. Very hygienic and timely! I truly cannot overstate how the excellent service made our experience as amazing as it was. The food is great and Kpot itself is, of course, quite nice, but the service elevated it into the position of being my FIRST choice when it comes to dining out with multiple people again. I wholeheartedly recommend dining here, if not for the insane value you get in terms of food, then absolutely for the excellent service -- be sure to come on a Saturday so that you're more likely to have such a wonderful, warm and professional person providing your service! Endless thanks, again, to Kasey. You made this experience what it was, and as someone who does not get to see my loved ones for occasions like this often, it means the world to me that we had such incredible service from someone that made everything feel special. I am so glad that we chose here as our birthday dinner spot.

It was our first time going to this KPOT in Wappingers as the hubby was craving hot pot!…read more The combination of grilling premium meats tableside while enjoying a bubbling pot of flavorful broth makes every meal feel like an event. The selection was impressive, with thinly sliced beef, pork, seafood, vegetables, noodles, and a variety of sides to customize each bite. The meats were fresh and tender, cooking quickly on the grill. The hot pot broth was rich and comforting, especially when loaded with vegetables, noodles, and your favorite proteins that you can choose from! One of the highlights was being able to switch between grilling and hot pot throughout the meal. The endless options kept things exciting, and every combination tasted different. The seafood was fresh, the vegetables crisp, and the noodles soaked up all the delicious broth flavors. (You add $5 if you want both) For drinks, I got Piña Colada and tried their bubble tea as well, Matt got Coconut mojito. (The server heard Coke and Mojito she immediately change it and apologized) The thing I don't like and could possibly improve is their appetizer, sauce and salad area. Sauce were good but apps only has few selection, like chicken nuggets, fries, etc. and looks like it has been sitting there. Nuggets were rubbery. Ambiance was okay, not that much people when we came in around 5. Place seems nice as well. But other than that it was a delicious feast from start to finish, with plenty of variety and something for everyone. Come hungry because you'll definitely leave full and happy! :)
