First time eating Hot Pot style. I had the herb based broth. So good. Each person gets their own "pot" to cook.

Really delicious Korean BBQ with hot pot options available! Ordering was easy as every table had their own iPad to put in orders and staff would bring the food over relatively quickly. It is mostly self grill, and was a bit of a struggle to get one of the staff to change the grill plate occasionally. The snacks bar was a nice bonus! They had some sushi, banchan side dishes, and drinks like milk tea and taro. Overall would recommend stopping by!

Staff were extremely friendly, seated us quickly, and our waiter Bruce was amazing. He was very attentive, offering explanations to the first timers in our group, took and brought our food and drink orders, and everything was perfect. 100% recommend.

Had BBQ and sushi today. Food bar has so many fruits and appetizers. The lady who around us with long hairs, she so friendly. All the female staffs are very friendly. 🙃The beef steaks quality weren’t good. no matter how to cook, still so dry and hard to chew. The table and the menu were so dirty so sticky.

Nice place but not the same as the one I visited in Harrisburg PA. The buffet options here are very limited , only chicken nuggets and frech fries also desert was very limited, the choices for Hot pot where Good.. The protein choices where great as was the seafood.

The concept of combining Korean BBQ and hot pot is genius — you get the best of both worlds in one sitting. The variety of meats, veggies, and sauces was great, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when explaining how things worked since it was our first time. The food is not 5 star worthy but still satisfying.

Kpot is an AYCE Korean BBQ and Hotpot restaurant located in the heart of Staten Island. The service is good. They bring the meats out quite quickly, and refill water and drinks just as quick, though most of the time you don't interact with your servers when it comes to cooking your food. Doesn't bother me, I expect it with Korean BBQ places, but if you expect them to cook for you, it may be a shock. The food is good. The quality is expected for AYCE restaurants, though the price is really good for the portions and how much you can eat. I tended to like the Korean BBQ more than the Hotpot, but felt that it was missing some staples of Korean BBQ. They do have side dishes and sauces available to grab for free as well.

Nice Korean BBQ and Hot Pot place with friendly service. Our family stopped by KPOT on Staten Island for a family dinner in Dec 2024. It was our first time in Korean BBQ and Hot Pot place so we needed a little bit of a learning. We went with a full 3-options package including Sushi, Hot Pot, and BBQ. From sushi menu we ordered some special rolls and sushi salad. Salad was delicious. The rolls were ok, but certainly inferior to what you get in a Japanese sushi place. Our conclusion was that Sushi option could be safely skipped. Hot Pots were nice and tasty. We got different broths and various meats. For BBQ we ordered a variety of meats, some fish, and vegies. The best and tastiest one was Beef Bulgogi. It was perfectly marinated and came out juicy, tender and delicious. Finger ribs and Short ribs were good as well. Spicy salmon was excellent. The few types of steaks however were tough and lacked flavor. Another fish option stated "grouper" but was in fact a tilapia. The atmosphere was nice and the service was friendly. It was somewhat inconvenient to have a single ordering handheld for 7 people, but that's probably a standard practice at such places. The appetizers bar had only sauces (huge variety), chicken nuggets, and deserts. It would be nice to have some kind of a coat check as all smells from hot pots and BBQ get absorbed by the clothes. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and can recommend KPOT if you are looking for a Korean BBQ / Hot Pot experience on Staten Island.

I rate this establishment three stars. As a first-time visitor, I found it lacking in clear instructions. While it is commendable that guests are encouraged to prepare their own meals and assist with other tasks, providing comprehensive guidance on the necessary procedures would enhance the overall experience.

Drastically different than when they first opened. We were excited to bring our friends, first timer hot pot and kbbq to experience something new. We didn’t even know we needed to order from the tablet until we saw the other tables ordering this way. No instructions when we sat down. Service was non-existent. We had to ask several times for water refills and soup refills. Maybe just put a pitcher of water for the table. No one came to check the table to see how everything was going. Gratuity was automatically added since we were a party of 6+. Servers and team would get the gratuity regardless of their services. The pricing for kids is a bit high, the kids ate 1 ramen each, some nuggets and water for $16.99. Because the kids were part of the table and the adults did 2 options, the kids automatically added +$5, they didn’t even touch the kbbq. $11.99 would have been reasonable. It was a nice touch to give them plastic cups with covers for water. Some food options also were not available. If you’re charging for dinner prices for weekend lunch, then it would be nice if everything was stocked. If not stocked, then don’t show the option. Snow crabs were not fresh, fishy at best. All the plates of food came as if they were just sprinkled and thrown together carelessly. Unfortunately, would not recommend if it’s your first time experiencing hot pot or kpot. Try Cast Iron for K-BBQ.

I recently visited KPOT and had a mixed experience. The hotpot portion was solid -- the ingredients were fresh, and most of the veggies and meats were of good quality. I'd definitely come back just for that. However, the KBBQ side was a major letdown. The meat was very tough, poorly marinated, and overall felt like low quality. It really took away from the overall experience, and I wouldn't recommend coming here for the BBQ. That said, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick to help with anything we needed. If you're coming here, stick to hotpot -- skip the KBBQ. Don't think I'll be visiting again. But if anyone coming for a quick dinner, it will get the job done. Lastly, I forgot the mention. The restaurant needs better ventilation. The restaurant was like a smoke shop. My two star is just for the service from the workers.

This place is hot trash now. Menu items are extremely limited. All the food that came out looked old or freezer burnt. We ordered taro and it was already withered. All the meat that came out was already sweating as if their freezer was broken for the day. The crab legs were discolored. Some of the sliced beef we got looked like they ripped it with their hands. Yikes!!

A over a month after the fact and this situation still bothers me. My party went to this KPot the Friday after Christmas for lunch. After being seated we were told that today was all day dinner, despite it being around 1:00. I was already sat and decided to stay anyway. On our first order I saw this big bug on the Bok choy, absolutely disgusting. My party and I immediately alerted our waitress and planned on just leaving. Our waitress grabbed the Bok choy quickly and rushed off. She came back about 5 minutes off and said her manager offered 20% off. We already planned on leaving, but not even offering to reduce the price to the lunch price we should’ve been paying anyway and the manager not coming over himself to speak to us was insulting. Disappointed to say I’ll never go back, not even because of the obvious huge BUG on the food but the response of management was beyond unsatisfactory.

The staff at this restaurant doesn’t seem to care about their guests. When we arrived, they seated us at a table where the grill was already dirty. We also had piles of dirty dishes on our table, and no one even bothered to clear them. We constantly had to wait for someone to replace the skillet, and the overall attitude made us not want to come back. The same place located on 22nd Road, they really know how to make customers want to return.
